Lianxiang thanked her for going, and Su Xiaojiu let out a breath, hoping that she could really restrain her arrogant nature.

"Xiaojiu, Niangniang asked you to go to the inner hall."

Not long after, Aunt Zhang came out of the hall again, explained to Su Xiaojiu, and looked at the lotus fragrance on the ground, as if she had something to say to her.

When she entered the inner hall, Concubine Rong was already lazily resting on the chaise longue, and when she saw her, she first threw a super big eye, "What's the matter with you, why was she running back again?"

She had to save some face in front of her aunt just now, so she deliberately sent Aunt Zhang out and called in Xiaojiu to ask about the situation.

But how can Su Xiaojiu know, his leg is on Lianxiang's body, and he must have escaped while Aunt Sun of Xin Zheku was not paying attention

Seeing that her head was shaking like a rattle, Concubine Rong said again, "The last time I dealt with that cook, didn't the palace say that you would expel them from the palace, why do you still keep her?"

"Ah, get her out too"

Su Xiaojiu was stunned, "You said at the time not to let the two of them get together, so the slave and maid only drove Qin Xiu out alone."

In the end, the voice became smaller and quieter, because the speechlessness in Concubine Rong's eyes became more and more obvious.

"The little girl who usually looks quite smart, why is she lacking in heart this time?"

Concubine Rong didn't know what to say, one was rushing, and two were also rushing, so that's the difference

Su Xiaojiu touched his nose and explained, "Niangniang doesn't need to worry so much, although Lianxiang is lazy and greedy, and her temperament is stronger, but she didn't recognize the princess for the first time last time, which can be regarded as excusable, so the slave maid thought that it was enough for her to be reformed in Xinzhiku." ”

After all, this kind of palace people who have made mistakes, especially those who have made big mistakes, the so-called expulsion out of the palace does not mean that they will be free, but they will be sold to those tooth shops outside the palace, and in the end they will be transferred to some poor places to be cheap slaves, which is much worse than in the Xinzhi library.

Xin Zheku is dirty and tired at most and can't eat, in addition to being a cheap slave, he is often beaten, and there are not a few who are killed, and no one cares about it at all, and it is even more difficult to escape.

Lianxiang is also a little girl who is less than twenty years old after all, and she didn't kill people and set fires, so it has something to do with her aunt, and she can't be too ruthless.

Concubine Rong knew her temperament, she looked powerful, but her mind was softer than tofu, and just now in front of Aunt Zhang, she had already made the decision to leave people behind, and it was useless to say more, so she said, "Although people have stayed, you have to order people to take good care of her at all times, one is not allowed to enter the inner courtyard, and the other is not allowed to approach the small kitchen, only in the outer courtyard, understand?"

"Well, the slave still understands this."

Concubine Rong looked at her and sighed, "This palace is not forcing you to become a hard-hearted person, but it is indispensable to guard against others, you have a lot of old accounts before, it is always good to be more prepared." ”

"The slave knows that you are thinking about the slave and the maid, you can rest assured, the slave and the maid will send someone to pay attention."

Unexpectedly, Lianxiang comprehended the hard work in the Xin Zhi Library, and came back again as if she was a different person, not only diligent and hardworking, but also did not dare to dictate to other people, and what work was rushed to do, and gradually got everyone's recognition.

This made Aunt Zhang feel a little relieved, after all, according to Concubine Rong's temperament, if she was not used to seeing someone, she would never stay in front of her to be an eyesore, but because of her old face, she opened her mouth to leave people, she was worried that Lianxiang would not be angry and live up to her mother's heart.

Seeing that she knew that she could change her mistakes, she slowly let go of the big stone in her heart.

Seeing that the queen mother's birthday is getting closer and closer, all the palaces are busy preparing for the birthday ceremony, which is intended to be ingenious and unconventional, so they racked their brains and almost didn't visit each other, even seventeen suddenly changed his temperament, in addition to rehearsing songs and dances every day, he was filial piety in front of the queen mother, but the queen mother's anger before he secretly ran away from Dongli was a lot.

And Emperor Yuan He didn't know what to do, he didn't enter the harem for many days, and the others didn't say it, that is, they didn't go to the middle palace to stay overnight on the fifteenth day of the new year, which caused another wave of rumors in the palace, only saying that the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the empress was too shabby, so that the emperor had no face, and this was left out in the cold.

Su Xiaojiu and Concubine Rong had already agreed on a strategy, so it was rare to relax, and they had more time to go into the kitchen to think about delicious food.

But it's a pity that Concubine Ruan's dim sum can only be shaped, and the taste is always slightly inferior, and she even doubts her cooking skills.

"I don't believe it, it's just a kind of snack, I can't still study it"

It's not that you have to eat it, it's that you can't accept this frustration.

During this time, she tried various methods with perseverance, but finally failed to get the essentials, and she had used at least hundreds of catties of flour.

can be regarded as fat Xiaoxiang, and even the chefs are tired of the dim sum that failed in the experiment, and finally had to be brought to the pig house like running water.

At first, the little eunuch in charge of maintenance thought it was so delicious, it was a pity to feed the pigs, and every time he quietly left some for himself to eat, but later, he didn't even look at it, and poured it into Xiaoxiang's trough.

Xiaoxiang is happy to eat, and her stomach has not been held back since then.

Fei Ran saw that she was more energetic than the same dim sum, and she had the posture of being desolate if she didn't succeed, and persuaded her, "Su Zhangshi, otherwise you will send someone to Wanyi Palace to ask if this dim sum is just a hometown snack, and it is not a secret recipe, since Concubine Ruan has the heart to be good friends with Niangniang, she will definitely not be stingy." ”

Su Xiaojiu threw the dough back into the basin in his hand depressedly, and punched him twice in anger, "It doesn't make sense, how can it not be done, could it be that she added some spices?"

The more I didn't know, the more I felt like a cat scratching in my heart, and finally I simply took off my apron and said, "That's it, I have to ask Concubine Ruan." ”

She has failed dozens of times in a row, and it has almost become an obsession, if she can't do it again, she will have insomnia when she sleeps at night, and she must figure it out today

Fei Ran rarely saw her childish side, pursed her lips slightly, smiled, and said, "Then go to the master, you don't have to worry about lunch, I'll just stare at the cooks." ”

"Then I'll trouble you"

Su Xiaojiu cleaned his hands and hurried to Wanyi Palace, there was still some time before the meal, if he stepped up, he would come back just to show his sincerity, and he specially brought a plate of dim sum made by himself Concubine Ruan and sent it.

Concubine Ruan has not been there since the last time she sat on a cold bench in Ronghua Palace, and when she heard that Su Xiaojiu came to the door, she first chuckled in her heart, and saw her come in with a smile, and she was still holding a plate of snacks in her hand, and the embroidery needle pierced her index finger, wafting out a little red, and she stood up in a panic and said, "Su, Su is in charge of the matter and came over today, but what does the mother command?"

It's only been a few days, and she seems to have lost some weight again, and unlike last time, she looks visibly haggard today.

On the embroidery next to it, most of the longevity pictures have been embroidered, and it seems that they are also making trouble for the queen mother.

Su Xiaojiu didn't say directly that he was here to ask for a recipe, so he put the dim sum on the table, and said with a smile, "Last time my mother sent a snack, our mother has always remembered it, and today it happened that the slave maid also made some, so the mother specially asked to send you some." ”

I thought that Concubine Ruan would be polite, but she looked panicked, looked at the dim sum on her plate like a snake and scorpion, and stumbled and said, "The emperor, the imperial concubine specially asked you to come and send snacks to the palace."

Mo is not flattered, after all, when she went that day, Niangniang was very impatient, this time she came under the name of Niangniang, she couldn't believe it, it was normal.

But that's not the point.

Su Xiaojiu looked at her, thinking about how to ask for the recipe in her heart, and always felt that it was a little rude for her to ask someone for the formula in the first sentence when she came in, so she said, "This snack was just made by the slave, and it is still hot, don't you taste it?"

As he spoke, he picked up the plate again and held it in front of Concubine Ruan courteously.

At this time, Concubine Ruan's nervousness became more obvious, her body dodged back, and suddenly softened, as if Su Xiaojiu was not serving snacks, but poison, and shook her head and said, "Ben, this palace is not hungry, thank the emperor and concubine." ”

Su Xiaojiu was inexplicable, leaned over and wanted to pull her up, but she didn't want Concubine Ruan to open her hand like a ghost, and the palace people next to her hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her left and right.

The room was quiet, so the snap was particularly crisp and obvious, Su Xiaojiu didn't expect her to react so much, shouldn't she be in a hurry to make a birthday gift day and night, she was mentally disordered

When I looked down, the back of my hand was already red, and I felt that it was not good to stay for a long time, so I retracted my hand with some embarrassment and said, "The slave has no intention of offending, if you don't want to eat, then the slave will be placed here first." ”

Concubine Ruan trembled and got up from the ground, seeing that she really turned around and was about to leave, the look of surprise in her eyes faded a little, and she said tentatively, "You are really, here to send snacks to the palace"

Su Xiaojiu was stunned by her question, "Otherwise, what does the mother think?"

Of course, she does have other things, but looking at Concubine Ruan's reaction, she can't even remember the formula, so it's better to ask another day.

Concubine Ruan had already gotten up and stood up, regaining her composure, "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that when I went to send snacks to the imperial concubine last time, I saw that she seemed to be displeased. ”

Now Su Xiaojiu is even more blindfolded, what kind of brain circuit is this, how can anyone bring a snack to Xingshi to ask for sin

If it weren't for Xiaoxiang who was still alive and kicking without any abnormality after eating her snacks, Su Xiaojiu couldn't help but wonder if she had done anything and was now a thief.

I always felt that Concubine Ruan was behaving strangely today, so she said, "Niangniang is worried, the slave maid is specially here to thank you today, and now that the snacks have been delivered, the slave and maid will go back to resume their lives and retire first." ”

Concubine Ruan suddenly smiled and said, "In this way, the imperial concubine thinks that the dim sum made by this palace is delicious, and if she likes it, this palace will make some and send it another day." ”

She was weird today, even if she really made Su Xiaojiu, she didn't dare to give it to Niangniang, after thinking about it, she had already come here anyway, so she simply asked the recipe directly, and said, "Actually, the slave and maid did have something to ask for today, I don't know how Niangniang's dim sum was made, and the slave and maid tried to do it many times, but it was not as good as Niangniang's craftsmanship." ”

Concubine Ruan smiled even brighter, "Although that dim sum is a specialty of my hometown, this palace has added its own secret recipe, which is very different from what is sold outside." ”

This is to tell her tactfully, the formula can't be said, and Su Xiaojiu is not strong, so he curts, "That is the case, the slave and maid will not ask any more questions and say goodbye." ”

Concubine Ruan looked at her distant back and was stunned, Mo Yao was practicing calligraphy in the apse, and after writing a few ghost talismans, she lost her patience, and when she heard a movement in front of her, like Su Xiaojiu's voice, she hurriedly ran out.

Recently, the mother concubine didn't know what was going on, he obviously didn't get into trouble naughty, but he was detained again, not only couldn't go to Ronghua Palace to play, but he didn't even see the two girls in the side hall very much, and he was as uncomfortable as lice on his body for a long time, but he ran out excitedly, but he didn't see Su Xiaojiu's figure, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and a little face suddenly collapsed, "Mother, I want to go out to play." ”

Concubine Ruan came back to her senses and saw that her son had already sat on the chair, pinched a piece of pastry with one hand and looked left and right, "Hey, this snack seems to be made by Sister Jiujiu, she really came here just now"

As he spoke, he put it in his mouth.

Concubine Ruan stepped up to knock off the dim sum, and said with a tiger face, "If you dare to eat anything, you won't be afraid of stomach pain."

But I didn't want to send snacks to Concubine Rong myself.

Mo Yao was defenseless, the dim sum was slapped on the ground by her and shattered, and the small universe that had been locked up for many days exploded, jumped down from the chair and cried with his neck up, "I have written for a long time when the mother concubine is bad, and I have been starving to death for a long time, and you still don't let me eat"

"You also call it writing, don't think I didn't see your drawings on the paper, like ghosts"

Concubine Ruan was annoyed by his howl, went up and slapped her ass again, and scolded, "Don't cry, hurry up and go back and write today, if you don't finish copying the three-character scripture, you are not allowed to eat"

Mo Yao cried even louder, losing his temper while crying, and kicked over the chair, "I don't write, I don't like to write, I want to learn kung fu and become a general"

He didn't say that it was okay, but when she said this, Concubine Ruan was even more depressed, she knew that she didn't have any bargaining chips, and the only thing she could rely on was that Mo Yao could be more sensible, and she would be better than the other brothers in the future, maybe she could still have some hope, but she didn't want to let him read and write every time, it was as hard as forcing the old cow to drink water, and she felt that she was going to collapse all over.

Mo Yao howled, seeing her distracted from between his fingers, he warned the palace people with his eyes not to talk too much, and quietly approached the door, and then ran away with a smoke.

When Concubine Ruan reacted, he had already run out of the gate of Wanyi Palace, stomped Concubine Ruan's feet angrily, pointed at the palace people in the house and scolded, "You are all dead people, don't you know how to stop it?"

The palace people were silent, and they didn't stop them, but the Third Highness cried like killing a pig every time, saying that she was hurt, and Concubine Ruan didn't feel sorry for her son, so she asked them again

Concubine Ruan sighed heavily, it's just that, her son's temper is not a day or two, and that position seems destined to be destined to have nothing to do with Yao'er.

And the one in Ronghua Palace seems to be silent, but in fact it is menacing, and he is afraid of the last

She couldn't choose, but Yao'er could.
