Chapter 151: Persuasion
Ding Lan and Zixiang originally had the mentality of giving it a try, and sent the breakfast prepared by Jin Zhao to Concubine Jing, but who knew that Concubine Jing, who had no appetite recently, took the initiative to pick up chopsticks after eating a bite of porridge.
When Ding Lan and Zixiang saw it, they were overjoyed in their hearts, but they naturally couldn't believe it. All this is thanks to the eldest lady of Su University.
It didn't take long for the rice porridge to be eaten by Concubine Jing.
Concubine Jing put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped the remaining vegetable juice at the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with satisfaction: "My appetite has not been very good in the past few days, and it is rare to eat such delicious rice porridge, you two have a heart."
Ding Lan and Zixiang glanced at each other, and responded in unison: "It's good if Niangniang likes it."
As a result, the two of them did not expect, Ding Lan and Zixiang did not expect to be so in line with the master's taste, seeing that Ken took the initiative to eat, a hanging heart could finally fall, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Usually, Concubine Jing will bow to the Buddha for a while after breakfast, and the two palace maids are also very knowledgeable.
Ding Lan said: "The slave and maid will not disturb the mother and the Buddha, and will clean up the dishes and chopsticks first."
Concubine Jing nodded, got up and went to the house to worship the Buddha.
Ding Lan and Zixiang whispered in their ears while cleaning up.
Zixiang whispered: "I didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Su family is not only good-looking, but also has excellent craftsmanship, these days the mother has eaten very little at every meal, and everyone has lost a lot of weight, but I didn't expect to make an exception today."
Ding Lan cleaned up the empty bowl in front of him, and said without thinking: "Although the third prince doesn't say it, every time he comes over, he inevitably asks about Niangniang's diet. Knowing that Niangniang was feeling cold, she specially called the imperial doctor over. Its filial piety can be seen. ”
Zixiang nodded and agreed: "Although Concubine Runiang is favored at the moment, our master has three princes, and in terms of talent, the three princes are very outstanding among the princes, and their future prospects must be limitless." Don't look at our Concubine Jing Niangniang is not as good as the master in the Yaohua Palace, the so-called world is unpredictable, and it is not certain who will be blessed in the future. ”
Hearing this, Ding Lan suddenly realized something, and hurriedly reminded: "Don't say it, you don't know Niangniang's temperament, if she hears it, it's not very good."
When Ding Lan said this, Zixiang understood. Also, Concubine Jing is low-key, not fighting or grabbing. It is not the same as several other masters in the palace.
Ding Lan and Zixiang cleaned up and gently closed the door, ready to retreat, but met Yu Wenyu when they went out.
"The slave has seen the three princes." The two of them saluted in a very formal manner.
Yu Wenyu glanced at the food box in Ding Lan's hand, frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter, mother concubine, she has no appetite today?"
Hearing this, Ding Lan shook his head and said: "That's not the case, Niangniang ate a bowl of rice porridge today, and said it was delicious, and she is now worshipping Buddha in the house."
"Really?" Yu Wenyu was a little surprised when he heard this, this was not what he expected, and his slightly frowning brows eased slightly, "I thought that the concubine was losing her appetite again today, and I couldn't rest assured, so I came over to take a look." After a pause, he said with satisfaction, "It seems that the cooks in the imperial dining room have improved." ”
When he came all the way, he was still thinking that if his mother's appetite was not good, he planned to find a few chefs with good cooking skills, looking at his mother who was getting thinner and thinner recently, he, as a son, was more distressed in addition to blaming himself for not taking good care of his mother.
Ding Lan and Zixiang looked at each other, their expressions were a little abnormal, this scene was just in Yu Wenyu's eyes, he frowned and said, "What, is it possible that you two have something to hide?"
His tone suddenly became a little colder.
Ding Lan and Zixiang were so frightened that they knelt down: "The third prince is angry, and the slaves and maids don't dare."
Looking at this situation, there is indeed something to hide.
Yu Wenyu's face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "Since you don't dare, you still haven't explained the truth."
The third prince is such a smart person, the two of them saw that they couldn't hide the matter, and they didn't plan to deliberately hide it, so they told the truth.
Ding Lan explained: "If you go back to the third prince, Niangniang's breakfast today is not made by the imperial dining room, but cooked by the eldest lady of the Su family herself." Subsequently, she told Yu Wenyu about meeting Su Jinzhao this morning, "...... That's the way it is, the slave didn't mean to hide it, and when she saw that her appetite was better, she forgot about it when she was happy. ”
Zixiang on the side also whispered: "At that time, Miss Su told the slaves and maids to send them over while they were hot and left, she didn't come over herself, I don't want the mother to know that she did it."
If you do a good deed but don't want people to know, if you are someone else, you would have been eager to ask for credit, Yu Wenyu, Su Jinzhao, is becoming more and more curious.
What kind of woman is it, even Yunli's girl has a good impression of her.
"That's it, if you miss your unintentional mistakes, this matter will not be investigated, and you will serve your mother and concubine in the future." As he spoke, the conversation changed, "If the concubine doesn't ask, that's it, if the concubine made the rice porridge this morning, you two will answer truthfully." ”
The two responded, and at this time, Ding Lan bumped into the courage and whispered: "The slave maid has a sentence that I don't know if to say?"
Yu Wenyu didn't raise his eyes, and said lightly: "If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it directly."
Yu Wenyu opened his mouth, and Ding Lan suggested: "Since the things made by the eldest lady of the Su family are in line with Niangniang's taste, why don't you invite her to live in the palace for a few days and be responsible for Niangniang's three meals a day until Niangniang's illness is completely cured, I don't know what the third prince thinks?"
Yu Wenyu pondered secretly for a moment and did not make a sound.
Seeing that Yu Wenyu didn't speak, and there was no reaction at all, Ding Lan mistakenly thought that he had said the wrong flower, and hurriedly explained: "The third prince is angry, and the slave maid is also thinking about Niangniang's body, Niangniang's body is not very good, and now she is infected with wind and cold, if you eat less on weekdays, how can it be good." The slave maid is also worried about Niangniang's body, and thinks about Niangniang, if she says something wrong, she also asks the three princes to forgive her sins. ”
Yu Wenyu looked at the food box for a moment, and suddenly the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened a little, and he said slowly: "Your words reminded me."
Then, he raised his hand to get the two of them up.
Since Su Jinzhao's cooking skills are good and helpful to the concubine's appetite, she really has to be invited to the palace.
He is worried about his mother's affairs, and now it is a good idea.
It seems that he had to go to Su Mansion and invite Su Jinzhao in person.
It's just that she seems to have a misunderstanding about herself, and she doesn't know if she will be convinced, whether she agrees or not, for the sake of her mother, she has to give it a try.
Yu Wenyu immediately said: "Since the mother concubine is in the house to worship the Buddha, I won't bother, and I will come to visit her another day."
The two palace maids answered and watched Yu Wenyu leave.
