Chapter 91: Betraying the Lord
Jiang Xinyue thought with her toes and knew that this Jin Zhaoyi's brother was probably also framed by the queen or some force on the queen's side.
Why is she so sure?
Because she jumped the lake by herself, someone dragged her feet, and the words that wanted her life were also made up lies, and she deliberately said it to make the emperor feel sorry for her.
is also to disturb the troubled waters of the harem, so that those who calculate her, or are ready to calculate her, weigh her, harm her once, she can be promoted once, and let the emperor find the murderer for her.
She is a person, and if she is injured once, she will have to get it back a hundredfold and a thousand times.
Concubine Shu hid behind the Queen Mother and calculated her, let the Queen Mother's people slap her, and warned her, she made her unable to stay in the palace, and the child she gave birth to had to be called someone else's mother.
In fact, she can also design children except for Concubine Shu, but after all, she has received legal education in modern society, and she has a little more moral bottom line than the noble girls cultivated in these mansions.
As long as the women in the harem don't do anything to her belly, she won't hurt their children.
However, the little kindness she has left is also sharp, if anyone who is not long-sighted dares to hurt the child in her womb when she is pregnant, she will kill the other party's whole family at all costs.
Even if there is a child, she will kill it.
"Niangniang, today the imperial dining room stewed white fungus lotus seed soup, Gao Imperial Chef specially left a bowl for you, and it has been simmering on the small stove, all of which are out of the gelatin, it must be delicious."
Gao Imperial Chef is one of the imperial chefs who learned to cook with Jiang Xinyue, and there is also Imperial Chef Li, who has recently competed with Imperial Chef Gao for the position of steward of the imperial dining room, and the two have not been so close.
And Jiang Xinyue also knew that Li Yuchu had already taken refuge in Queen Zhu, probably because he felt that Jiang Xinyue's housekeeping skills had been taken out, and he could stand up on his own to climb the high branches, and there was no need to shoot Jiang Xinyue's sycophants again.
If it weren't for her teaching them barbecue and fried chicken, with the qualifications of both of them, I'm afraid they would still be just errand runners who help the old chefs with side dishes.
Last winter, she was going to sacrifice her big killer hot pot, but at that time she was in the cold palace, and fried chicken was much simpler than the ingredients needed for hot pot, so she changed to fried chicken.
At that time, Imperial Chef Gao and Imperial Chef Li were rewarded with this dish at the New Year's banquet, and their status also rose.
The old housekeeper of the imperial dining room left the palace when he was old, and wanted to learn the barbecue and fried chicken out of the palace to open a small restaurant, and the high imperial chef also knew that these two dishes were learned from Jiang Xinyue, and said that he would ask Concubine Zhen Niangniang to agree and then reply to the old imperial kitchen.
But in order to take the lead, Imperial Chef Li secretly looked for the old housekeeper in private to give him the food recipe.
Although the old steward accepted the recipe for the two dishes, he recommended the Imperial Chef Gao to take his place with the Internal Affairs Office.
For this reason, Imperial Chef Li and Imperial Chef Gao made a little ugly.
Jiang Xinyue took the white fungus soup handed by Shuang Xia, smelled the sweet taste of red dates coming from inside, and put the bowl aside: "Gao Imperial Chef has a heart, you go to the imperial dining room to pass the word for the palace, thank him for the palace, just say that his white fungus lotus seed soup, the palace likes it very much, remember to decorate the golden beans in the purse and give it to him." ”
Frostfall nodded and went to the inner room.
Jiang Xinyue's hand was stirring with the spoon, and the other hand was touching his stomach, and the light in his eyes flickered: "Xiao Xuanzi, quietly follow the frost." ”
Xiao Xuanzi raised her eyebrows in surprise, but when she saw her murderous eyes, she forcibly suppressed the feeling of shock, and lowered her head more respectfully: "Yes, Niangniang." ”
Who is it?
Even under her strict guard, she still knew that she was pregnant, and actually added saffron to her food.
The sweet white fungus red date lotus seed soup hides a handful of bright red saffron under the head.
If you don't understand the effects of saffron, I'm afraid you still think it's a new flavor in the imperial dining room.
Most women in ancient times only skimmed a few books, and they did not know much about this kind of medicinal herb that could not only maintain health but also hurt the body.
Jiang Xinyue was also fortunate to be born in the civilized society of later generations, and her basic common sense was thousands of years more advanced than these ladies in the harem, so that she could repeatedly avoid secret calculations.
The reason why she so readily agreed to the grounding of Empress Dowager Wu and did not let the emperor argue for herself was that she learned the method of Concubine Li and closed the palace to protect the fetus.
I don't know that this black hand still reached into Hexi Palace.
After the frost dropped the golden beans, he went to the imperial dining room, Xiao Xuanzi came into contact with Jiang Xinyue's silent eyes, and immediately followed out of Hexi Palace.
Under the moonlight, a few people were running, where they were going, and how many pairs of eyes were staring in the dark, and they didn't know each other.
Let's see who can't wait to show their feet.
Listening to the chirping of cicadas outside the hall, Frost Fall's expression became lonely, she tightened the porcelain bottle in her sleeve, and threw a cyan bottle into it when she walked to an inconspicuous rockery.
When I left, I still had tears on my face.
Xiao Xuanzi turned around, quietly walked to the rockery, picked up the bottle thrown away by the frost, patted the soil on it, and put it in his sleeve.
In the past, the affection of the frost to send carbon to the cold palace of the concubine is still vivid, and Xiao Xuanzi really doesn't want the frost to do anything against the master.
The people in their Hexi Palace are all of the same heart, and they have experienced so much together, it shouldn't be like this.
After throwing the bottle, Frost Fall hid and cried for a while, wiped away his tears before going to the imperial dining room, passed Jiang Xinyue's words, and gave the purse containing a handful of golden beans to Gao Imperial Chef in front of many imperial chefs.
The purse is naturally not the craftsmanship of the concubines, but the embroidery of the palace maids of Hexi Palace, which is specially used to reward the people below.
After that, she returned to Hexi Palace, and did not contact any other people in the palace on the way.
"Mother, slave ......"
Frost's eyes fell on the small blue porcelain vase on the table, and her eyes were about to fall out of their sockets.
She knelt on the ground with a "plop", and without saying a word, her forehead hit the ground all at once, and after only a dozen knocks, blood flowed from her forehead.
Jiang Xinyue picked up the small porcelain bottle and threw it on the side of Shuang Xia's legs, with a sad expression: "This palace doesn't like to pretend to be confused, when you let Jiang Yutong enter the Lotus Washing Hall and let her hang herself in the side hall, who instructed her?" Now that you're harming this palace with saffron, how do you want this palace to deal with you? ”
Frost fell and looked at the bleeding forehead, and cried so much that he had to fight for an explanation for himself: "Mother, slave...... The slave did not harm the mother, the slave and the maid ...... The slave maid is indeed a spy placed by someone to put Zai Niangniang's side, and often passes some news with the outside, but Niangniang, the slave swears with her life, except for Jiang Baolin at the beginning who was related to the slave and maid in the Lotus Washing Palace, the others are not made by the slave maid. ”
Jiang Xinyue was also faintly uncomfortable in her heart, sighing for this cruel and ruthless palace, and people's hearts were difficult to argue.
