Chapter 34: Bad Porridge
Bi'er glanced at Wen Qingwu, who had woken up, and walked into the main hall.
She wanted to hear the voice of the main hall, but Liu Ye kept sobbing beside her, and her choked intestines seemed to be broken.
Wen Qingwu turned his head and looked at Liu Ye: "Liu Ye is really good, still holding the bottle." She whispered.
When Liu Ye heard this, his crying face really smiled: "Well, if someone let the slave and maid hold it, the slave and maid will not let it go." The appearance of crying and laughing made the little palace ladies next to them laugh.
Wen Qingwu stretched out her hand, and Liu Ye held the glass bottle with one hand and helped her get up with the other.
One hand was not strong, and Wen Qingwu had to support the bed by himself.
"You put down your bottle and then support your family!" Bi'er walked in with a clear porridge.
"My talented family asked me to hold the bottle, and I couldn't let go." Liu Ye replied to Bi'er's words, still choking.
Xiao Gong'e next to her sneered, and Bi'er also smiled and shook her head.
The porridge was brought to her, and Wen Qingwu swallowed her saliva. The smell tickled at her tongue.
Although it is just a bowl of porridge, it is made of boiled and finely ground egg powder, minced vegetables and lean minced meat, and a little condiment.
It should have just been boiled, steaming hot, and the fragrance only flowed into the nose of the warm Qingwu.
Xiao Gong'e next to her picked up the low case and put it on the couch.
"Niangniang said that the talented people used the porridge well, and went to the main hall." Bi'er put the porridge on the table.
Wen Qingwu sat on the couch, looking at the porridge but not moving.
Bi'er was a little strange. Aren't you hungry? Why don't you eat it?
"Where's the water and the veil?" Wen Qingwu turned his head, his voice weak. looked at Bi'er with a strange look.
Bi'er was stunned. couldn't help but flatten his mouth, he was so particular when he was hungry and fainted. instructed Xiao Gong'e to bring water and a handkerchief.
Wen Qingwu carefully washed her hands and wiped them clean, and then sat upright and used the porridge.
This rule is about to catch up with the mother. After disliking, Bi'er felt admiration again.
I'm hungry like this, and I pay so much attention to etiquette. Sure enough, she is a woman raised by a family.
Wen Qingwu finished his meal little by little, and listened to the movement of the main hall next to him.
"Which is the steward in charge of the meals of the Daifuku Palace?" Concubine Mei Shu sat on the main hall and spoke majestically.
"If you go back to your mother, it's the slave who is responsible." A eunuch stood up and knelt down towards Concubine Mei.
"Do you take care of the meals in Dafu Palace on weekdays?" Concubine Mei asked again.
The eunuch replied tremblingly, "Yes." ”
"You care about meals? The talented people of Dafu Palace were starved and fainted alive in the days when you managed your meals. Concubine Mei slapped her palm: "You are guilty!" "She was really angry. A minion dares to starve the palace concubine!
The control of this harem is under her hands, and such a thing happened!
"The slave is wronged!" The eunuch leaned over and said to forgive: "Niang Niang Mingjian, every day's meal distribution slaves and maids are recorded according to the rules!" Every day, it is also recorded that every talented person uses it! If you don't believe it, you can look at the meal distribution records! ”
"Where's the meal log?" Concubine Mei asked.
The voice fell, and Yuan Li, who was standing on the side, stepped forward, took the meal record in his sleeve, and handed it to Concubine Mei Shu: "The slave maid brought it." ”
Concubine Mei glanced at Yuan Li with satisfaction, and turned her head back.
Li Yun, the chief eunuch of Xuanwei Palace, stood behind Concubine Mei Shu, looking at Yuan Li, who was constantly flattering and flattering, and his expression remained unchanged. Doesn't seem to be moved.
Concubine Mei Shufei closed the notebook: "Three meals a day are white porridge." Is this the Dafu Palace's people's meal customization? She looked at the steward and eunuch below.
"Not really." The steward eunuch's legs were weak and he trembled. My mind was spinning, thinking of the words of justification.
Three meals of white porridge a day, just think about it, you can know who the lady is referring to! In order to please the people above, after looking at Yuanfu's father-in-law's eyes, he just changed her meal. What is the big deal if you are hungry and faint, but you are hungry and faint in front of the lady......
I knew that she would faint in front of the lady concubine with hunger, he should have given some good meals this morning!
"If not, why are Wen Cairen's meal records full of white porridge?" Concubine Mei Shufei threw the meal record book in her hand on the eunuch.
"That's because," the steward said, "Wen Cairen was seriously ill before, and she couldn't get greasy, and she was afraid that she would have no appetite, so he specially made a liquid meal for her." ”
Concubine Mei looked at the eunuch and did not respond.
Of course she knew about Wen Qingwu's serious illness. It wasn't entirely unreasonable to give her a liquid diet.
This is Yuan Li leaning close to Concubine Mei and whispering a few words in her ear.
Concubine Mei's face turned completely cold.
"Bring things up!" She said.
The little eunuch at the bottom came up with a tray with a bowl of white porridge and green vegetables on it.
Concubine Mei Shu picked it up and sniffed it, and handed it to Yuan Li: "Since it was made on purpose, then you can drink it for the palace." ”
Yuan Li took the white porridge and took it down,
Wen Qingwu in the side hall put down the spoon. I washed my mouth slowly with tea, and then I got off the bed and walked to the main hall.
Yuan Li will serve the white porridge, and Wen Qingwu will walk out. She stood down and squatted down at Concubine Mei Shufei and saluted, without opening her mouth.
"Sit down." Concubine Mei said.
Bi'er, who was standing behind Wen Qingwu, lifted a chair to the side. Wen Qingwu sat down meekly and looked into the main hall.
Yanfu knelt at the back, although Concubine Shuniang didn't talk to him, his sweat still flowed one after another. Wen Qingwu's gaze swept over Yanfu's head and landed in the center of the hall.
"Sun is in charge, drink it." Yuan Li handed the porridge bowl to the eunuch.
The eunuch looked at Yuan Li, took the porridge tremblingly, and leaned closer to his mouth. His face changed.
He raised his head and looked at Concubine Mei Shu: "Niangniang, this ......"
"Drink!" Concubine Mei scolded her.
The eunuch gritted his teeth and didn't say much, and took the rancid porridge into his mouth!
Yanfu raised his head and stared at the eunuch. Although Wen Cairen drank it before, it was fine, but who knows if the ones released today will poison Sun Zhangshi.
Thinking about it, Yanfu felt a chill in his heart.
"Who made this porridge for distribution?" Concubine Mei said, her eyes turned to the two cooks.
The distribution is in charge, but the cooks need to make things good for the master.
"It's her!" One of the cooks immediately pointed to Chef Liu: "Niangniang, she made it!" The bad porridge made by Liu Qiniang was deliberately given to Wen Cairen! It has nothing to do with slaves! ”
Chef Liu was still thinking about how to defend herself, and she didn't want the cook next to her to have identified her! And every sentence can be directly condemned!
Chef Liu opened her mouth and wanted to turn white. Concubine Mei Shufei was already impatient, and her face darkened: "Since all the human and material evidence are complete, hand it over to the court prison for conviction." According to the rules, punish as you should. ”
"It's all dragged down by the palace."
After the three of them dragged it down, Yanfu, who was kneeling behind him, was particularly conspicuous.
Concubine Mei looked at Yanfu.
