Chapter 113
Yuan Wushuang saw that it was almost over, bought the things he needed to buy today, and went home.
When she returned to the cold palace, before noon, Xiaocui had to go to the dining room to get a meal and come back.
Yuan Wushuang looked at Xiao Cui's back apologetically, and always felt that such a small body had suffered too much, and he was helpless.
The same is true in his previous life, he can be said to have taken care of nothing, and he let Xiaocui be busy every day.
Seeing that she was being bullied by other palace people, she ignored it and didn't say a word, even the simplest greeting.
Thinking of the past, Yuan Wushuang sighed slightly in his heart and hugged Shangguan Zichen's hand tightly.
Let her take good care of her only two relatives, one big and one small, in her life!
Xiao Cui came back empty-handed, if it was a weekday, Xiao Cui would have to walk back crying, although she was a little angry but not too sad at this time, after all, she bought a lot of delicious things today, and she was obsessed with oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and there was no shortage of stoves.
Therefore, after Xiao Cui pouted and complained to Yuan Wushuang, she happily went to the stove to work.
Yuan Wushuang also followed behind her and helped her cook the fire.
Yuan Wushuang, who had never burned the fire, made the stove full of smoke, and was finally driven out by Xiao Cui.
Yuan Wushuang could only sit in the courtyard and be responsible for teasing the baby, waiting for the meal.
Xiaocui's craftsmanship is not very good, the rice is still raw, and the dishes are only to the extent that they can be eaten, so the heat is not mastered well.
However, for Xiao Cui, who has been a maid by Yuan Wushuang's side since she was a child and has never cooked, this kind of craftsmanship is already the best.
"Miss, I've got experience, I'll do better at night." Xiao Cui blushed shyly, almost buried her head in the bowl, heard Yuan Wushuang's laughter, raised her head very firmly and looked at her and clenched her fists, and said.
"It's good to be able to cook like this for the first time, and Cui is awesome." Yuan Wushuang praised Xiao Cui from the bottom of his heart, and praised the little girl's face red.
Xiaocui lowered her head shyly, but the smile on the corner of her mouth showed that she was in a wonderful mood at the moment, her eyes were also shining, and she had a great desire to perform well.
However, in the end, she didn't open her own stove in the evening, and Xiaocui went to the dining room early to get her share of the meal, which is famous, if you don't eat in vain, you can't waste your own rice.
Such a budget-conscious Xiaocui made Yuan Wushuang cry and laugh.
However, Xiao Cui's craftsmanship is indeed getting better and better, and judging from the paste she made for Shangguan Zichen, she can already be a teacher.
Shangguan Zichen also seems to be used to eating mush, no longer as difficult to feed as on the first day, and he is not a picky eater, he is very well-behaved and eats what he eats, this well-behaved energy provokes Yuan Wushuang to kiss his face every time and call him baby.
Only Xiaocui will do her best to make food for Shangguan Zichen according to the actual situation, so that he will not eat mushy every day.
On the third day, Yuan Wushuang quietly bought a dairy sheep and came back, raised it in the cold palace, and squeezed goat milk for Shangguan Zichen to cook and drink every day, which can be regarded as raising his nutrition.
At first, because of the smell of goat's milk, Shangguan Zichen was reluctant to drink it, and even cried.
It was Xiaocui who went to the dining room to consult a better cook, and only then did she solve the problem of goat's milk smell.
Later, the improved goat's milk was directly drunk by Shangguan Zichen as a drink, to the extent that he still wanted to drink it after drinking.
This gave Xiaocui great confidence, studying how to make food for Shangguan Zichen every day, and going to the dining room to consult others more and more times, so thick-skinned that others didn't care about her, and she still appeared in front of his eyes from time to time, and vowed not to give up until she reached her goal.
The cooks in the dining room dare not speak out, after all, they are not the imperial chefs of the imperial dining room, but only the cooks who are responsible for the eunuchs, slaves and maids and the cold palace meals.
They don't have real talent and real power, and they can only show their faces to Xiaocui, but they don't dare to do anything else, after all, who knows when this queen will stand up again!
At night, the depths of the palace are quiet, and only the lanterns under the corridor are blooming with a dim light, illuminating the corridor at night.
"Your Excellency."
Shangguan Hao, who was far away in the Huangwu Palace, was lazily leaning on the dragon bed at this time, looking sharply at the shadow guard who was kneeling on the ground and clenching his fists.
Since Yuan Wushuang was relegated to the cold palace, Shangguan Hao sent shadow guards to secretly monitor her.
If you talk about surveillance, it is better to say protection!
Shangguan Hao sighed lightly and waved his hand to the shadow guard below: "Get up and talk back." ”
For Yuan Wushuang, Shangguan Hao's mood was complicated.
After all, in such a deceitful harem, it is undoubtedly admirable to have such a kind queen.
But her temperament of only caring about self-preservation and never causing trouble made Shangguan Hao love and hate, after all, she was framed not long ago and almost died.
If it weren't for his protection, the name of 'fornication' alone would be enough for her to cut her with a thousand knives.
Although he knew that after finding out the truth, he would be able to make her safe, but her temperament was not suitable for surviving in this deep palace, so he planned and put Yuan Wushuang into the cold palace.
Just tell her a lot to eat and wear, so that she can live a worry-free life, and it is impossible to have only glory and wealth.
If she wanted to leave the palace, she could do it, after all, there was a way out of the palace.
This cold palace was built by Shangguan Hao's great-great-great-great-grandfather.
Before that, there was no cold palace in the palace, and those so-called unfavored concubines would not set foot in their palace in the future It was the biggest punishment.
Every concubine palace is likely to be a cold palace.
The reform began at the hands of Shangguan Hao's great-great-great-grandfather, Shangguan Jiajing.
According to the country's "Historical Secrets", in order to better manage the harem, Shangguan Jiajing built this cold palace in the second year of his succession.
At that time, Shangguan Jiajing did not have a queen, and the highest position in the harem was only a concubine, and even the concubine had not yet reached the share of four, and there were only three concubines in the palace.
The construction of the cold palace can be described as an uproar at that time, and they all denounced Shangguan Jiajing's cold and hard heart behind their backs, and they didn't dare to say half a point in front of them.
Only the world doesn't know that when Shangguan Jiajing built the cold palace, he also built a deserted mansion in the area connected to the cold palace, which is the deserted mansion that Yuan Wushuang walks every day today.
It is intended that the concubines who make mistakes can have another choice, that is, to leave the palace.
Only after this cold palace was built, it was of little use, and they were probably frightened by the harsh conditions of this cold palace, and the concubines were all conscientious and did not dare to do anything too out of the ordinary.
Therefore, until Yuan Wushuang, the cold palace did not have a trace of force.
Regarding the existence of this deserted mansion, except for Shangguan Jiajing and the overseer, no one else knew, and the main book of the "Shijian" at that time was only known because of the construction of the "Historical Secret Shijian".
