Chapter 160: Baiyan Strife
"Bang-" pushed open the door of Kou Shu's dormitory, and the rippled eyes were red, obviously greatly wronged. I saw Ripple running to Kou Shu angrily, stalking her neck, and her voice was full of crying: "Niangniang - they bully people!" β
Kou Shu had just woken up from her morning sleep, and when she saw the ripples, she couldn't help but be stunned and frowned; "What's going on here, who bullied you?"
Ripple wiped his eyes, and said with tears in his eyes: "Early in the morning, the slave maid went to the imperial dining room to bring the white bird's nest porridge for breakfast for the queen's mother, but the imperial dining room said that all the white bird's nest porridge was brought to the autumn garden by the people in the palace of Concubine Xuan, and there was not a bowl left. β
Pursed his mouth, and the rippled voice was even more aggrieved: "What was originally offered in our palace was Blood Swallow, and it was because of Concubine Xuan's pregnancy that she became an ordinary Bai Yan, but now, Concubine Xuan actually even asked Bai Yan to leave, which is really too deceitful - how could she drink so much bird's nest porridge!" β
Kou Shu smiled lightly, played with her hair with one hand, and then said: "Okay, this is not a big deal, it doesn't matter if you don't eat for a few days, since Concubine Xuan is pregnant now, let her take it and take it." The main palace is not drunk. β
"Niangniangβ" Ripple's voice dragged on for a long time, as if she was very dissatisfied: "How can you tolerate her so much!" That concubine! It's lawless! β
Kou Shu raised her eyebrows, pointed to the gardener outside the window, and said, "Look, the gardeners outside have planted the wrong flowers, why don't you go and let them see them." β
Ripple turned his head, only to see that the gardener outside had planted a large flower orchid in the place where the wood hibiscus should have been planted, and the scene that should have been pink suddenly dimmed a lot, so he couldn't help but rush out and point at the gardener and shout. Kou Shu couldn't help but smile faintly as she looked at the back of the ripples jumping up and down.
The mandarin duck had been standing behind Kou Shu from beginning to end, and when he saw the ripples going out, he spoke tentatively; "Niangniang, in this matter, the slave maid feels that there is something else wrong."
"Huh?" Kou Shu tilted her head slightly and motioned for the mandarin duck to continue.
The mandarin duck nodded and said, "The slave thinks that Concubine Xuan asked for our white bird's nest porridge, and she may have really drunk it." β
"Why did Concubine Xuan say this?" Kou Shu was a little puzzled.
The mandarin duck thought for a while and said: "In the past few days, the girls in the Autumn Garden have come with news, saying that Concubine Xuan's recent meals have become larger and larger, and she has to eat four or five meals a day, and sometimes she has to add meals at night. And Concubine Xuan's meal is also a lot larger, originally a meal was only half a bowl of rice, but now a meal, but at least three full bowls can't stop. β
"Just being pregnant, you can eat so much?" Kou Shu frowned, suddenly remembered something, raised his head and said, "You mean, can't stop?" β
The mandarin duck was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, the slave maid in the autumn garden came to the news that as soon as Concubine Xuan mentioned the chopsticks, she was like a demon, and she swallowed everything straight into her mouth without chewing anything, and she couldn't stop, and the palace maid served two rounds of dishes on the side before she would stop." β
Kou Shu's brows furrowed even deeper, and after a pause, as if he was a little suspicious, he suddenly spoke: "After a while, you and the palace will go to the Autumn Garden to see Concubine Xuan, the palace always feels that this matter is a little strange." β
The mandarin duck nodded in response and did not make a sound.
After breakfast, Kou Shu took the mandarin duck ripples to the Autumn Garden, unexpectedly, there was not a single girl and servant standing outside the Autumn Garden.
Kou Shu frowned, no matter how big this autumn garden is, it won't be impossible to see a small house outside.
I only heard a voice from outside the autumn garden: "Niangniang, you can't eat anymore, you have eaten three bowls of bird's nest soup this morning." β
The doubts in Kou Shu's heart deepened, and she walked in front of the door and motioned for Ripples to knock on the door.
Seeing Kou Shu, Bai Xuan looked a little surprised, and straightened up to look at Kou Shu.
Kou Shu looked Bai Xuan in front of her up and down, only to feel extremely shocked in her heart, where is this still the light and shy Bai Xuan she once knew, who is knowledgeable? Today's Bai Xuan's body is plump by more than a star and a half, and the originally delicate and petite melon seed face has turned into a round face, and the facial features that were not small have been squeezed together, looking very narrow.
On the white table in front of me was a table full of food, potpourri cake, impatiens walnut cake, lily poria paste, rose honeydew, bird's nest porridge...... It's more than Kou Shu eats in a few days.
And Bai Xuan's hand has already stacked several empty bowls. Bai Xuan still didn't look satisfied, and he was still eating with a bowl in his hand. Seeing Kou Shu, she was stunned for a moment, Concubine Xuan put down the bowl in her hand, stepped forward and saluted unhappily: "Concubine Xuan has seen the queen's mother. β
Kou Shu nodded and glanced at the food on the table: "Concubine Xuan, why do you eat so much in one meal?" β
Concubine Xuan shook her head, but her eyes revealed a sense of arrogance: "The queen mother probably doesn't know the hard work of conceiving a child, according to the concubine, it is because the dragon species in the stomach is too lively and active, and it consumes too much, so it is necessary to eat more in the mother's palace." β
Kou Shu raised her eyebrows and didn't speak, but her eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a bowl of dark brown soup on the table, the soup didn't look special, but it exuded a faint fragrance, which made Kou Shu suspicious.
"My sister can eat, and she is much more energetic than back then." Kou Shu did not directly refute Concubine Xuan's words, and smiled lightly.
"There is Queen Lao's mother worried," Concubine Xuan's voice was interesting and disdainful: "Everything is fine in this palace, and the prince in the belly is also lively and active, and he must be an aura in the future." β
Kou Shu raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly, and said: "This palace has brought a good cordyceps sinensis with very clear horizontal and vertical telescopic lines, thinking that it is the best grade to bring nourishment and recuperation to Concubine Xuan, but looking at the flowing food here of Concubine Xuan, I am afraid I don't care about the more branch of this palace." β
Concubine Xuan supported her much thicker waist, bent down slightly, looked at Kou Shu with a rather arrogant face, and said slowly: "In this way, thank you for the kindness of the queen mother." β
Kou Shu nodded, casually glancing at the decoction on the table.
Hearing this, the ripples behind him lowered his eyebrows with the tray, and brought the best cordyceps to Concubine Xuan's eyes.
"Thank you, Queen." Concubine Xuan saluted, but her eyes didn't look at the tray, obviously she couldn't look at it.
Kou Shu didn't care, and simply exchanged a few words with Concubine Xuan, and then came out of the Autumn Garden. Walking to the steps, Kou Shu smiled secretly, whispered a few words to the mandarin duck beside him and returned to Changle Palace.
