Chapter 6 Let's go and say goodbye
In the spring of March of this year, Empress Niu Hulu held a big removal ceremony, and then the concubine Tong Jia presided over the harem on behalf of the queen.
Everyone knows that the reason why Tong Jia's family was not sealed was because the emperor suspected that he was the queen, and Tong Jia's family was actually the same as the deputy queen.
Since this is the case, the rules that should be exercised naturally cannot be left behind, and before the concubines have a morning eclipse, they will first go to Yikun Palace to greet the concubine of Tong Jia's family.
Then the concubine took everyone to Cining Palace to say hello to the Queen Mother, and then walked a few more steps to the Shoukang Palace next door to greet the most noble Queen Mother.
Jing Yu is well, and this day of morning and dusk is about to begin.
There's no better thing to sleep in......
But fortunately, the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager were merciful and ordered not to go, so after Yikun Palace asked for peace, those who still want to go to Cining Palace and Shoukang Palace are only those old concubines, like Jing Yu, who can go back after asking for peace for the concubine.
I got up early that day, and went to Yikun Palace with Concubine Rong to ask for peace as promised. Because he was below the concubine position, the circle chair was not yet able to sit down, and he still had to stand behind the concubine in the main hall. It was the first time she came back to say goodbye, and she couldn't help but feel worried.
After a while, An Concubine Li and Yi Concubine Guo Luo Luo also came to Mingjian early to wait.
"Today there is an extra eye." Yi Concubine glanced at Jing Yu and threw a friendly little look at Concubine Hui.
"It's hard to be a concubine, there are Yinzhi and Lan Qi'er under your knees, it's busy enough to take care of the children, and you have to take care of a stupid person, it's really virtuous!" Don't look at Concubine Hui that day, she didn't dare to ask Concubine Yi for concubine, this meeting Concubine Rong was still very low, at this time, she responded to Concubine Yi's eyes and answered.
These words caused everyone to laugh, Concubine Rong's face burned uncomfortably, but she was docile and not good at attacking, and swallowed her anger and said: "The emperor is benevolent, and he is grateful for the good temperament of the noble people, so he refers to the concubine palace." ”
Yi Concubine looked at Jing Yu, who was honestly standing behind Concubine Rong, and emphasized like a child, and said, "Virtuous people! In a few years, let's recognize Concubine Rong as a mother, it's not easy for her! ”
These words pierced her ears, Jing Yu saw that Concubine Rong was still silent, and raised her voice: "Concubine Yi's words are very disrespectful, Sister Rong has always treated slaves and maids like her own sister, how can she recognize her mother?" The slave maid is the same age as Yi Niangniang, speaking of recognizing the mother, what should you call Rong Niangniang? ”
Originally, when Yi Concubine said such a thing, everyone opened their eyes, and they covered their mouths and said that they couldn't bear to listen to it, which was not just as the noble people said, it was too arrogant and rude, and it was disrespectful.
Yi Concubine felt the pressure from all sides, her lips twitched, she coughed lightly, hid the embarrassing atmosphere, and said: "This palace means that Concubine Rong takes care of you properly, it's just a joke, what's ...... It's more real. ”
Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi are both flamboyant, and the age difference is ten years old, one has lost hope for favor, one is upright and young and beautiful, one gives birth to a prince, and the other has no heirs, there is no direct conflict of interest, so they have always been compatible.
So many people sit in one place, and when they talk about each other, it is common for them to stir up the smell of gunpowder, but it is not surprising that Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi are colluding to deal with Concubine Rong, but they were shocked by Wu Ya's words.
Wu Yashi is really not only good, but even more witty and agile than before he was stupid.
The concubine came down to the bright room surrounded by the palace maids, and the war of words was temporarily stranded, and everyone hurriedly began to say goodbye.
The concubine was born noble, her face was white and dignified, and she had the style of wedding etiquette, seeing her sitting on the throne of the lord, smiling, her face was kind, and a pair of phoenix eyes were bent into a crescent moon to look around.
She noticed Jing Yu, and the corners of her eyes flashed a little different, and then fixed the color, and said, "Degui has a good complexion." ”
Concubine Rong said: "Back to Niangniang, she has recovered, so I brought her to ask Niangniang to say goodbye." ”
Tong Jiashi still bent the corners of his eyes and nodded with a smile.
Ask for peace every day, mostly to ask the palaces to keep their duty and serve the emperor, and then ask the palaces about the convenience of living in recent days, the princess, new clothes and jewelry, etc., and go back to the morning food, so if there is no major event, they are mostly chatting a few words and returning to the palace.
Concubine An's face was grim, and at this time, she was thinking that since Wu Ya's family was fine, did she still remember the two palace maids.
Out of the gate of Changchun Palace, Concubine Hui glanced at Concubine Rong unceremoniously, and said: "It's okay now, my sister should really keep the clouds open and see the moon, and the concubine will report the emperor's good news, and the benefits of my sister are indispensable." ”
Jing Yu was about to step forward, but was pulled hard by Yueyao, so he didn't come out.
This night, Jing Yu's eyes were empty, looking at the food on the table in front of him: two sticky bean buns, two white-flour dumplings, all of which were quite big. There are also two cold cuts, one with pickled blackened carrots and peppers, and another with pickled cucumbers and dried shredded cabbage. This plate of dried shredded cabbage looked bright, the sour cucumber was simply sour, she chewed two Xda chewing gum, staring at the plate of sliced cooked meat, and the big bowl of stewed sloppy cabbage next to it.
I picked it with chopsticks, and the large pieces of cabbage mixed in the bowl are pork ribs, and the stewed is greasy and full of the fishy smell of meat and bones, taste it, I'll go! ......
It's been a few days since I crossed over, and although the food is not abundant, it is also reasonable, why is it so unbearable now?
"Little master, we don't have the money to take care of the internal affairs office this month, so ......" Yueyao is a delicate person, so she said.
I think it is also, the last time I bribed Imperial Doctor Xu, I spent most of the year's share of silver, and there was indeed not much left.
"What meat?" She picked out the plate of cooked meat again, and studied it to herself.
"Back to the little master, roe deer meat." Yueyao Road.
"Robes?" Jing Yu knew that robe meat was rare in the palace, but it was not a precious one, but a cheap one.
In the Horqin Mongolian steppe, a ten-year-old boy who is learning to shoot and hunt can easily get a few robes when he goes out. She picked up a little and tasted it, the meat was indeed ordinary, and there was a little strange smell that could not be explained.
Although there is no savings, nitrogen, this specification is not right, with the example of the noble, said that the good plate meat is four catties, two catties of vegetable meat, potatoes What fresh melons, fruits and vegetables are supplied in rations?
Yue Yao hesitated, but still confided the truth - first, the eunuchs in the Internal Affairs Office who watched people acted were deducted, and then there was anything good, and they were automatically detained on the side of the main hall.
"Don't we still have silver? Take care of the Ministry of Internal Affairs! She thought of some of the emperor's rewards, so she said.
"Little master, the rest of our silver has to be prepared for Qianqiu and Shengshou! If they are all used, they will not be able to get the money for the gifts, and life will be even more difficult. Yueyao said bitterly.
Just the personal contacts that Yueyao counted just now are only the tip of the iceberg, and it is necessary to remove sudden accidents and ...... that fell from the sky In addition, the birthday of Concubine Rong or the birthday of Yinzhi is not big, and it is not a small day, and it is not necessary to come up with some meaning.
Jing Yu put down her chopsticks and looked at the unpalatable food on this table, and lost her appetite.
If they eat like this, then they ...... She asked, "What do you eat?" ”
Yue Yao hurriedly said: "Little master, don't worry about the slaves and maids, it's good if the slaves and maids have a stutter." ”
In the west side hall of her backyard, there are a total of three people serving - Yueyao, Lily of the Valley and the eunuch Jinbao. In fact, the emperor sent her two additional palace maids before, but before she came for a month, she couldn't stand the hard days of this palace, and went to Concubine An, who was in the limelight.
A side hall, plus her master, a total of four people, is not enough to eat.
It's too miserable!
She went back to the room and came to the negative floor of the department store space, what Australian cattle and lobsters were collected, and she was about to take them out, no, the plastic bag was easy to wear, and the outer packaging had to be removed. I went to the daily necessities area again, and finally found some bamboo baskets the size of the cover of the manhole, and dismantled these things and put them in the basket.
She clapped her hands, now it's all right, it's ready! Prepare to set up a fire in the yard for a barbecue.
"Master! Where did you get such a good thing! Lily of the valley shouted in surprise.
Jing Yu winked at her, a mysterious light shone in the corner of her eyes, and said, "Don't worry, your master won't steal or rob!" Come, help me put this iron frame up. "The iron rack for this barbecue is made of iron and wood, and it was found on the side of the cooker, and it can also be taken out and used.
Jinbao picked up the hem of his skirt, rolled up his sleeves, and said to Lily of the Valley: "These rough jobs, let the slaves and maids come!" "There was food, of course, I was happy, and I was more energetic, and after a while, the barbecue grill was set up, and there were hundreds of steel skewers that came with it.
The master and servant gathered under the banyan tree together, skewered the cleaned scallops, Australian lobster, asparagus, callus white and other cleaned ingredients one by one, lit the fire, and prepared to roast.
However, Jing Yu was busy on the side, ate a skewer of grilled squid and a baked soft cake, and didn't eat it again, after all, she is a person who has just lost weight and can't overeat.
Lily of the valley and Jinbao ate a lot of food, not to mention how happy they were, Jing Yu giggled, now it's almost beer, but it's a pity that they can't take it out.
Yue Yao knew that the little master was eating less, so she went to the dining room to get sour cheese.
Jing Yu held the milky white custard yogurt that night, smelled mellow, this is the most mellow recipe in ancient times, scooped up a small spoon and filled it into his mouth, it was really fragrant and smooth, very delicious. She ate a bowl, very satisfied, lying in the rocking chair under the tree, talking and laughing with the breeze and cicadas, so comfortable.
