After taking it, the stone mortar in Wei Zhaoyi's palace was clean and had no special smell, presumably it had not been used for a while, but the stone mortar in Concubine Li's palace could smell the smell of almonds.

"Sister is in charge, my sister wants to eat almond juice today, so I used it, so I can't count it like that."

Concubine Li bit and refused to admit it.

"My sister's affairs will be told to the queen mother truthfully." Then she looked at the others, "You all go down." ”

"Yes."

After Mu Jiaren and the others returned to the dining room, everyone came around to understand the situation, she was tired and went to freshen up, and Bai Shao told everyone what had just happened.

After a simple grooming, Mu Jiaren was already tired and went to bed early, and the others felt incredible after listening to the story, and wanted to ask Mu Jiaren, but they didn't expect her to have slept.

There are so many things in the palace, if you don't eat and drink enough to rest, how can you face these moths?

At this time in Yongning Palace, Mama Wei told the Queen Mother about today's events.

"How did Xia Zhu provoke Concubine Li?"

"The specific slave maid is not clear, but today's incident should be aimed at Xia Zhu."

"This is the palace, not everyone can be alone, this time it's a lot smarter."

"I heard that Concubine Chen also brought people there, and it should be inevitable that Concubine Li was demoted this time."

"Understand the matter clearly, and then talk to the mourning family."

"Yes."

The next day, they learned from Zhong Sishan that Concubine Li was demoted to Jieyu, and Concubine Chen took someone to the queen last night to comment, and Wu Meiren was also her distant relative, so she had to have an explanation.

In addition, after the people in Concubine Li's small kitchen were tortured, they confessed, but the reason was because Mu Jiaren was disrespectful to Concubine Li, which made the personal palace maid unbearable and wanted to frame it, but Concubine Li didn't know it.

After that, he checked the matter of Mu Jiaren and made sure that he was not disrespectful to Concubine Li, but that Hong Yuchu provoked it, so Hong Yuchu was kicked out of the palace, and the harem returned to calm.

A few days ago, the weather was cool, and the appetite of the masters of each palace was better, but these days it was very hot from noon to afternoon, and the people in the palace had poor appetites, and the dim sum of each palace decreased by one or two, but the drinks increased, and everyone was thinking about how to make the master happy.

The queen ordered the palace bureau to focus on cooling and reducing the heat and discussing new products.

Qin Shanggong summoned the four divisions to come up with their new products.

"The new products prepared this time will be seen by the queen mother herself, and there will be rewards for doing well, and I hope that the four divisions can work together to complete it together."

"Yes."

Zhong Sishan took them to the dining room to discuss new dishes, last time Mu Jiaren made perilla soup to make all palaces very satisfied, Zhong Sishan was about to ask her what she thought, Linglong opened her mouth first.

"Zhong Sishan, how do you look at Dao Yunmeng venison? I wash the soaked meat with mint water, and it will taste cool and sweet. ”

Zhong Sishan looked at her menu and nodded, "Not bad." ”

Then Linglong asked the others to take out the menu they had prepared for Zhong Sishan to see.

After reading it, everyone discussed it together.

Then she cleared her throat and said solemnly.

"The reward chosen by the queen mother this time is to go to the summer resort."

"Ahh

"So good?"

"How many places are there?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they seemed to have an infinite yearning for the summer resort.

Mu Jiaren looked dazed, and asked Bai Shao beside her in a low voice: "Is it so good to go to the summer resort?" ”

"Of course, after the emperor and the queen go to the summer resort, the supply of ice in the palace will be much less, the palace is very hot, and there are few things in the villa, there are many rewards, and the palace people left behind have to take care of the remaining little lords of the entire palace, which is very hard."

Mu Jiaren didn't care about how much she lived, but felt that it seemed cleaner to stay.

"This time, there are five places for each of the four divisions of the Shanggong Bureau."

"Two more!" Everyone's excited discussion.

"Yes, this year, the emperor chose a show girl, and there are also many new little masters, so there are more palace people accompanying him."

After Zhong Si set a meal for three days, he would choose a part for Qin Shanggong to taste, and then send it to the queen mother, and everyone began to think about it seriously.

Tao Ran looked like she didn't care about herself, and grabbed Mu Jiaren and asked her what she was cooking today.

"You're not participating?" Mu Jiaren was a little strange.

"I won't, there are people in the summer resort where I wash vegetables and chop vegetables, and most of the people who go are the palace maids in charge around the little masters, and I stay in the palace except for hot spots, and there is nothing."

"Didn't you say it would be busier?"

"Well, I'll be a little busy, after all, there are few little masters who go to the summer resort, and there are many people in the palace, but the meals during this time are much simpler, and ......" Tao Ran whispered into Mu Jiaren's ear, "As long as you take care of a few high-ranking masters, no one will care." ”

Mu Jiaren couldn't cry or laugh, she could be moved by simple happiness at a young age.

Sure enough, she was old.

"Then I'll accompany you."

"Huh? With your cooking skills, you can win! ”

"I'm not interested."

After making lunch, Mu Jia received a token from Zhong Sishan, and she planned to go to Wenyuan Pavilion to find some books to read.

As a palace maid, she can read very limited books, but the palace's collection of books is naturally more complete than the outside, she takes cooking as the name to consult the classics, so she can't come to the palace, naturally she can't lose money, and the feeling of using power for personal gain is very good.

Wenyuan Pavilion is the most prominent in the palace with red walls and golden tiles, and the whole palace is dominated by black, which means that the ink color is like the general of the country's eunuchs, and there is also the use of water to overcome fire.

Mu Jiaren took out the sign and explained her intention to the father-in-law in charge.

Gonggong Tao, the head of Wenyuan Pavilion, asked: "You are a palace maid in the dining room, what kind of books do you want to read?" ”

"The queen said that she wanted to prepare a new dish, and the slave wanted to consult some classics, medicine, fonts, or ......"

"Can you read these?" Grandpa Tao looked at her suspiciously.

Mu Jiaren looked left and right, and then took out a small sachet containing more than 500 Wen and stuffed it into Gonggong Tao's hand.

He turned his head and pouted: "You can only choose one to see, you are a palace maid, Wenyuan Pavilion can't walk around." ”

Mu Jiaren understands that he is too little, Wenyuan Pavilion is only a collection of books, and there is no oil and water, but Gonggong Tao is the manager here, and his appetite is still bigger.

Mu Jiaren smiled and said: "Gonggong Tao, I feel that I have learned something here, and I will come back tomorrow, so you can be accommodating, and I will definitely prepare well tomorrow." ”

Grandpa Tao saw that she understood what she meant, and he was relieved: "Okay, the three bookcases in the southeast corner are all medical, don't mess up, you have to tell me if you want to see the booklet in the brocade box." ”

"Yes, the slave knows."

Mu Jiaren put on white cotton gloves and went to the southeast corner to start reading the classics.

The bookcase is almost a zhang high, with wooden lattices arranged one by one, and numbered on them.

She pushed the wooden ladder next to her and began to look at the books inside.

There are windows everywhere in Wenyuan Pavilion, which are ventilated and breathable, and time passes slowly in her page by page.

"Why is the palace maid of the Shang Palace Bureau here?"

Mu Jiaren, who was concentrating on reading, was frightened by a boy's voice, her body shook, and she suddenly raised her head.

"Lord Han?" Mu Jiaren instinctively shouted out, and then realized her identity, originally sat cross-legged on the ground, and immediately knelt on the ground to salute.

"Xia Zhu, the palace maid of the dining room, has seen the Prime Minister."

Han Baiyi's eyes crossed with a trace of doubt, Xia Zhu in the dining room? Why does she look so much like Mu Jiaren when she reads books? Could it be that my face blindness is serious again?
