Chapter 147: Begging

The dining room was far away, and Liu Ye carried the basket to the dining room in the dark, and walked for a quarter of an hour. 『→お℃..

When I arrived outside the dining room, I saw that there was no light inside except for the small palace lamp. Also, today the masters have gone to the feast, who will still work hard here to make meals.

Liu Ye pouted and 'snorted' unhappily, and her empty stomach also gurgled in response.

She touched her stomach and swept across the dining room with her eyes on the two mothers-in-law who were standing outside the dining room eating sunflower seeds. One mother-in-law is tall and fat, and the other mother-in-law is a little short and skinny.

I remembered the instructions of the talented people before leaving.

After steadying his mind, Liu ** straightened his back and strode towards the dining room with the basket on his shoulder.

Liu Ye carried a small basket, her fleshy cheeks were smiling, her eyes were crooked and cute, and she said glutinously: "Two grandmothers, are you ready to eat?" ”

Suddenly, I saw an extremely cute and soft little ball coming over, and I didn't like it.

"Whose little girl is this? How well-behaved you look! A chubby grandmother clapped her hands and said.

"Mama, I'm the big girl in the Wencai Palace!" Liu Ye pouted. What a little girl, she is a big girl next to a talented person! The biggest one.

The two mothers-in-law standing at the door of the dining room couldn't help but laugh when they heard this: "Yo, you are still a palace maid!" That's incredible. The fat woman said.

Liu Ye blushed when she heard this, and was a little embarrassed: "It's okay, Mama has won the award!" ”

The fat woman laughed even more happily when she heard this. However, the short woman stared at the willow leaf after laughing, and said, "Why didn't you go to the banquet with your master in the Huiyou Hall at this point?" ”

"It's like, how lively is there, what are you doing here with a black light?" The fat woman also felt strange.

"My master is injured and can't go to the banquet." Liu Ye said, his voice crisp: "I'm still hungry, so I'll come to the dining room to see what's going on." ”

When the two mothers-in-law heard this, they both stood up straight and glanced at each other. After seeing caution and panic in the eyes of the other side, he looked back at the willow leaves.

Tonight's big banquet in Luoyang Palace, Huiyou Hall has designated a large kitchen to make meals for the banquet. According to common sense, the dining room on their side should still have meals prepared, in case the master of the palace returns to the palace halfway or does not go to the banquet at all.

But which master won't go to the banquet in Luoyang Palace tonight? I thought that all the masters had gone to the banquet, and the common dining room here stopped. Not even a fire was lit.

If you really miss any master meal that makes people hungry to this point, it will be troublesome.

"Who is your master?" The fat woman asked worriedly.

"The master of my family is a Wen Cai who followed the emperor from Hojing." Willow Leaf replied crisply.

"Wen Cairen?" The fat woman's voice was full of doubts, they were all palace people who lived in Luoyang Palace, and they had never heard of this name. After thinking about it, it was impossible for this Nizi to make up a concubine to come out and coax her.

So without waiting for Liu Ye to answer, he said aloud: "Wait, girl, the slave and maid will go to make a fire and make food." ”

Liu Ye didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and said happily: "Okay." ”

The fat woman turned and walked towards the dining room, and when she crossed the threshold, she was pulled by the short woman standing next to her.

"What's wrong?" The fat woman turned her head to look at the short woman and asked.

The dwarf woman glanced at the willow leaves, turned her head and whispered a few words beside the fat woman.

The fat woman suddenly said: "I said, why didn't the master go to the banquet, we don't know here." ”

Liu Ye looked at the two people in front of him strangely, and asked, "Aren't you going to make a fire and cook?" ”

When the words fell, the short woman turned her head and looked at Liu Ye with an unkind gaze: "It's already past the time to cook, let your family come to pick up the meal tomorrow." ”

Liu Ye was displeased, she couldn't figure it out, why did she still say that she wanted to cook, so she wouldn't go now.

"Isn't it just to make a meal, and Mama will go when she says she will go, why don't you do it now?"

"Girl, it's easy to make a meal, but it's not easy to really make it. You see, the whole dining room is gone, once the fire is lit and the two of us cooks have to go to the firewood room to get firewood, there is a fixed number of firewood, there is no one in the firewood room, we have to remember by ourselves, make a fire, make meals, what dishes and what materials, all have to be received, what to receive, and have to be decided according to the specifications of the master of the meal, and it has to be quantified, you say" The short woman said, spread her hands, and looked helpless: "Where is this so easy?" ”

Liu Ye frowned when he heard this. It sounds like it's really troublesome...... So what to do?

When Liu Ye couldn't make up her mind, she suddenly remembered the words that someone had whispered in her ear before leaving.

"How to do it, and what kind of troublesome method, is your business." Liu Ye recalled the posture of the little chamberlain this afternoon, trying to straighten his back as much as possible, holding his eyes, nose and mouth on his face and not moving, wanting to look very expressionless: "My duty is only to deliver the meal to the master." ”

"It's not that we don't do it, it's that we really can't make a fire, and I ask the girl to forgive me." Humpty Dumpty explained, but he didn't look afraid. To put it mildly.

Liu Ye tried his best to recall what the talented man said to the little chamberlain, picked a suitable sentence, and pretended to be indifferent: "Do you think that my talented person is a talented person who is rejected by the emperor, so he has such an attitude?" ”

The fat woman and the short woman lowered their eyebrows at the same time to avoid Liu Ye's gaze: "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Don't dare? It's not the same as the waiter said. What's next?

"Don't dare? I think you dare! After Liu Ye finished speaking, he suddenly didn't know what to say next.

There was an eerily quiet in the darkness.

Liu Ye racked his brains to think about how to scare, and seriously thought about what Cairen said in the afternoon.

But the fat woman couldn't stand it in the strange silence, and looked up at the willow leaves who looked at the two of them calmly, and the fleshy face loomed in the night so that people couldn't see clearly.

"If my talented people are really rejected by the emperor, will the emperor take the accompanying Luoyang Palace to escape the summer?" Liu Ye thought for a while before thinking of this useful sentence, and he didn't know what to say after moving out.

Cairen once said that when you don't know how to say how to be useful, you don't say anything and don't do anything.

When the two mothers-in-law heard this, their hearts moved. I was still thinking about it, but I didn't let go.

There was another strange silence, and even the short woman couldn't hold it back at this moment, and looked up at the silent willow leaves, and sighed secretly.

The inextricable grievances and hatreds in the deep palace are not because they see the wind and steer the rudder, but because everyone sways with the wind. If they weren't like everyone else...... Who knows who these concubines had in the past.

Showing favor to a palace concubine who has fallen out of favor is to oppose other palace concubines who have enmity with her.

So it's not that they're people driving in all directions, but that they have to do this in order to protect themselves, and it's better to be still.
