Butler of Ci'an Palace

Shizuka helped the Queen Mother into the inner hall, and saw a palace maid coming in with a plate.

Shizuka looked at these palace maids with wide eyes, holding a plate in one hand and a handkerchief in the other hand and walking there again, actually walking smoothly, and the hand holding the plate did not tremble. That's too technical, isn't it? Now five-star hotels also have such services, right?

Shizuka looked very energetic, but the Queen Mother shook her head helplessly and pulled her over and whispered, "Xiang'er, are you tired?" I can see these every day in the future. Let's drink some water first, eat something later, and take a lunch break with my grandmother. ”

Shizuka took the Queen Mother's teacup and took a sip and nodded obediently. The Queen Mother looked at Shizuka with relief, a little stunned. Shizuka was embarrassed and asked, "Grandmother, what's wrong with you?" Is there something on my granddaughter's face? ”

The Queen Mother shook her head with a light smile and said: "No, just when I saw you, I thought of the founding queen who was all over the world, she was a unique queen in the world, and she accompanied the founding emperor to conquer the Zhao country, but unfortunately, she only became the queen for one year." ”

Shizuka was curious to ask, but was interrupted by Mama Yun, who came in and passed the message. The Queen Mother nodded, and then stopped continuing the story of the founding queen. Shizuka had to think that she would have the opportunity to let the Queen Mother tell her about it in the future, so she saw that the dishes were on the table, so she went over to take a look.

Looking at it like this, Shizuka was disappointed, it's so greasy, why is this imperial dining room so rough? Puzzled, she asked Mama Yun, "Mama, are these dishes what my grandmother usually eats?" ”

Mama Yun nodded and said, "Yes, is there something wrong?" ”

Shizuka frowned when she heard this, looked at the Queen Mother, and then looked at this table of dishes, what are they? The cabbage is boiled, there is not a drop of oil, the fish is burned, but it is a lot of oil, and there is a fishy smell, and the meat is too, large and large, greasy, how to eat this?

Don't they all say that the imperial dining room in the palace is the most delicious place in the world? Was he misunderstood? Or did someone do it on purpose?

The Queen Mother saw Shizuka standing for a long time and didn't sit down, and her whole little face was wrinkled. The Queen Mother thought that Shizuka didn't like these dishes, so she asked, "Xiang'er, what's wrong?" Don't like the dishes? So let the Imperial Dining Room do what you love? Do it with your recipe? ”

When Shizuka heard this, she loosened her brows, smiled, and nodded. Mama Yun smiled and went down to order, and the Queen Mother got up and took Shizuka to the couch and let her rest for a while. Shizuka shook her head, seeing that the Queen Mother's complexion was not good, so she picked up the Queen Mother's hand and gave her a pulse.

When the Queen Mother saw that her granddaughter had also learned medical skills, she happily asked, "Have you also learned medical skills?" And the healer. ”

"In my fiefdom, there is a doctor Liu, a folk master, I learned his family heirloom plum blossom gold acupuncture method, I am amazing. Grandmother, in the future, your body will be handed over to me, and you will be guaranteed a long life. Shizuka looked at the Queen Mother with a sweet smile.

The Queen Mother also smiled kindly and nodded, Mama Yun happened to come in, and when she saw Shizuka giving the Queen Mother a pulse, she thought that the Queen Mother was sick, so she went to get the pill out.

After Shizuka put her hand away, she took the pill and smelled it, and let the system analyze it, it was non-toxic and useless, so she didn't let the Queen Mother eat it, and Mama Yun asked suspiciously: "Little princess, this Queen Mother doesn't take medicine, and she won't be able to eat for a while." ”

Shizuka smiled faintly and shook her head: "It's a medicine that is three points poisonous, and now you can only eat by taking medicine, so what will you do in the future?" Mama Yun, my grandmother is not seriously ill, she is sick from eating. I'll tell you about it later. I'm a little hungry now, can I cook some porridge first? ”

Mama Yun remembered that she had prepared bird's nest porridge, so she asked the palace maid to serve a bowl. Shizuka looked at the bird's nest porridge that was not bad, and drank a big sip, but before she swallowed it, she felt a little fishy, as if it was a little bad, and immediately spit it all out.

Immediately, a palace maid came over with water, and the queen mother thought that she was very hungry, eating too fast, too hot. smiled and shook her head and said, "Little girl, don't rush, eat slowly." ”

Shizuka took a big sip of water, rinsed her mouth, washed her mouth, and her delicate little face wrinkled, but she didn't say anything.

Shizuka doesn't taste good anymore, so waiting for her recipe to eat won't taste good, right?

Half a pillar of incense passed, the palace maid sent lunch, Shizuka was already hungry, and drank three or four cups of tea, and the more she drank, the more hungry she became.

Seeing the dishes on the table, she had a little appetite, it looked very similar to what she usually ate, and she didn't wait for the Queen Mother to greet her, she ate a bite of peach blossom cake first, well, the taste was almost good, it is estimated that she didn't do much, and she was not familiar with it. I ate peach blossom soup again, and the taste was even stranger. But there was a happy voice from the Queen Mother, "The food made in the imperial dining room today tastes very good, the peach blossom cake made last time was not so delicious, and it is good today." ”

Shizuka understood, so Shizuka put down her chopsticks and asked the Queen Mother seriously: "Grandmother, did you give all the recipes I gave you to my uncle?" Do those imperial chefs in the imperial dining room also have recipes? ”

The queen mother was puzzled and replied: "Yes, it was all sent to the emperor, and the imperial dining room was a recipe for the palace maids to copy, but there was a problem." ”

Shizuka didn't answer, she tasted the crystal dumplings, shredded potatoes and potato roast chicken one by one, and put down her chopsticks. said to Mama Yun: "Mama can send a henchman out of the palace to the capital to buy some of the same dishes here in the restaurant that has become popular recently, and I will naturally know." ”

The Queen Mother's expression became serious, and she nodded to Mama Yun. Looking at Shizuka, he asked, "What does Xiang'er know?" ”

Shizuka thought about it and said, after all, she was going to stay in this Ci'an Palace for a few years, and if she was just eating this kind of pig food, she really couldn't eat it.

So when she considered the words, the Queen Mother thought that she was embarrassed and didn't dare to say it, so she said seriously: "Xiang'er can rest assured that my grandmother is not an outsider, and I don't want to be deceived by the people below." ”

Shizuka thought about it, her relatives ate this kind of pig food every day, hurt the body, and went to take medicine when they were sick, it was a three-point poison, there was a longevity, no wonder the royal people did not live long.

So Shizuka said to the Queen Mother: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the head of the imperial dining room doesn't take things seriously, only cares about the business outside, and forgets that his duty is to serve his grandmother." You'll know what it means when Mama Yun comes back. ”

An hour later, Mama Yun took a food box, and when she opened it, the house was full of fragrance, and Shizuka nodded with satisfaction Is this the recipe she gave, how could the dishes she made be so unpalatable.

So she picked up the peach blossom cake and sent it to the queen mother's mouth, before she ate it, her mouth was full of peach blossoms, the shredded potatoes, the roots were crisp, and the potatoes were roasted with chicken, which was different from the usual time when she ate, and she didn't smell a trace of fishy smell.

The Queen Mother asked Mama Yun to divide each of these into three parts, one to the emperor and some to the queen. This one was eaten by the Queen Mother and Shizuka.

After eating, Shizuka was a little sleepy, and the Queen Mother saw that her eyelids were fighting, so she arranged for Yuxi to bathe her and took her to the Bihua Kitchen in her house to rest.

The emperor dealt with the excerpts of the afternoon, happened to be hungry, and was ready to let people send food, when he heard Mr. Deng say that Mama Yun was coming, and the emperor let Mama Yun come in, Mama Yun saluted and said: "Back to the emperor, the queen mother heard that the Manxiang Pavilion in the capital produced a few delicacies, and the queen mother asked the slaves and maids to send them to the emperor to taste." ”

The emperor immediately smiled and said: "I happened to be hungry, and the queen mother thought about me, that girl entered the palace, and told the queen mother that I would go over to eat together in the evening." ”

Manager Deng took the food box, took a look, was stunned, immediately brought it to the emperor, and carefully stepped back, the emperor was stunned when he saw that it was a peach blossom cake, and immediately thought of something, and was about to get angry, Mama Yun said: "Don't be in a hurry to get angry, try everything first, can it taste the same as what you usually eat?" ”

The emperor picked up the peach blossom cake, and before he could eat it, the fragrance of peach blossoms came to his nose.

The emperor ate it, and he ate it all angrily, leaving only a little leftovers, ready to let the head of the imperial dining room come and taste it.

Mama Yun saw that the emperor understood, so she said goodbye and went back to Ci'an Palace.

When the Queen Mother saw that Mama Yun was back, she asked, "All sent?" Alas, the mourning family is old, this slave dares to do this, doesn't this take the emperor and the mourning family in his eyes? Queen, she, alas, forget it, the mourning family can't take care of it.

Mama Yun, you go to check the accounts of Ci'an Palace, especially the kitchen, it seems that there are still unfinished words to see Xiang'er's girl today, this child is really a very particular person about life, so young and so particular. In the future, the mourning family must find someone who is obedient to her, otherwise the mourning family will not be at ease.

Mama Yun also nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, the slave maid is also going to check the accounts in the next few days, but the slave maid thinks that this account can be handed over to the little princess, she is also going to turn ten years old, and she will also learn to be a housekeeper. ”

The Queen Mother was a little worried and a little uneasy: "She is still young, don't give her so much, in another two years, give her the small imperial dining room to practice her hands." ”

Mama Yun shook her head with a smile and said: "Queen Mother, you can spoil her as a child, she grew up in the people, didn't you say all the things about these housekeepers in the letter?" She runs a restaurant and manages a big Zhuangzi, with more than 100 people. Where can you be an ordinary little girl? That's her by your side now, so you can't let go, you might as well let go and let the little princess rectify it, with you in the back to support your waist, don't be afraid. ”

When the Queen Mother saw Mama Yun say this, she was too, but this little girl looked so small, she was not long, she was gone, and she wanted to let her eat and drink for a few years, so she let her worry about this palace affairs as soon as she came, it was true.

At this time, Shizuka woke up, and came out wearing a mattress and a cloak and sucking shoes, she was used to being like this in the small courtyard of Zhuangzi, and forgot for a while that this was in the palace, a place to talk about rules.

Shizuka was rubbing her eyes, and when the Queen Mother saw her childlike behavior at a few years old, she was distressed and couldn't bear to blame her, picked her up, sat on her chaise longue and said: "How old is it, it doesn't grow like a doll a few years old, even if it's hot, it's almost dark now, and it will be cold." After speaking, he pointed to his head, "You kid, Mama Yun also said that you should take care of the palace affairs here of the mourning family, how can you convince them like a child who has not yet been weaned?" ”

Shizuka took a sip of the water handed to her by Mama Yun and said with a sweet smile: "I've been housekeepers since I was four years old, and no one believes me, hehe, grandmother, let me try?" If you can't handle it, you can take it back again. ”

The Queen Mother saw that although her tone was casual, her attitude was serious. So he nodded and said, "Okay, then Mama Yun, tomorrow you will bring the account book, the pair of cards and the key to the treasury to Xiang'er." ”

Mama Yun nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Queen Mother." ”
