I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to enter the palace again, maybe my life will be lost, maybe the Queen Mother really just wants to eat.
First, she just came back from the summer resort, and the news is not so well-informed.
Second, she had heard that the queen mother's own small kitchen was bigger than the emperor's imperial dining room, and a lot of money was spent on eating.
If her son doesn't agree with her, it's impossible for her to still be around her son every day, just like a concubine, looking for something she likes, the concubine likes flowers, she likes to eat and take care of herself.
Eating comes before maintenance.
The empress just loves beauty, she is still young, so she doesn't need to do any maintenance, at most be more delicate, take a goat's milk bath or something.
After all, the queen mother is getting old, besides eating, the most important thing is to take care of her.
It is said that in order to lose weight, she has not eaten rice for more than ten years, and what she eats and drinks is mainly for health preservation.
It's not surprising that she can take care of it so well, it's just a little surprised for the first time.
Perhaps her sense of humor satisfied the queen mother, she nodded, "Go and pack your things."
Fang Shu was a little surprised, "Leave now?"
The queen mother raised her eyebrows, "What? You don't want to?"
Fang Shu shook her head quickly, "Minnv just wanted to leave a letter for a friend."
She has to go left and right, it's just early and late, she wants to try to see if she can contact the emperor.
The queen mother nodded, pointed to the two people around her, and said, "Go and help her."
The two quickly saluted, "Here."
Fang Shu also hooked her head, stood up, and led the way, so it seemed that she had no chance to inform the emperor. I don't know if the Queen Mother sent two people to follow her, to really help her, or to prevent her from running away
If it's the latter, you have to consider the Queen Mother's intentions, maybe it's not just for eating.
And possibly knowing about her hooking up with her son.
Fang Shu was most afraid of the latter, because it came so suddenly.
She straightened her face and asked the two mothers, "Mom, when we get to the palace, can we just make soup dumplings for the empress dowager?"
Let's explore their attitude first.
"Of course not. Our queen mother has a tricky taste. You will get tired of eating the same thing ten or eight times at most. Then you have to study new flavors. Our queen mother is not easy to fool, and the hundred gold is not given for nothing." Among them A nun explained.
Fang Shu is relieved, if her attitude is not good, it means the latter, knowing that she is the one who hooked up with the emperor, the master has been keeping his emotions in check all year round, which is impossible for a maid of honor.
So it must be purely for eating.
To be honest, Fang Shu let go of her heart.
If it is purely for food, then there is nothing to be afraid of, and there is no need to inform the emperor.
Fang Shu wrote a note telling Mu Jin that she was going to the palace in order to get closer to the emperor so that Mu Jin would not worry about her.
The shop also gave Mu Jin, but she took half of the money. After all, she was going to the palace, so she might need it.
She only took some large ones, and handed them one or two taels to the two nuns.
The ranks of the two nuns are about the same as Jinxiu's, and they look like three or five taels a month, and two taels for one person is not a lot for them.
After collecting the money, her face became even more relaxed, and she also reminded her that if she encounters any trouble in the future, if she is bullied, she should report their names.
One of them is called Yun Xi and the other is called Wu Xi, Yun Xi is older, Fang Shu wants to respectfully call her Aunt Yun and Aunt Wu, which is easy to remember.
These two people have been with the Queen Mother for a long time, and they know a lot about the Queen Mother. Fang Shu is very considerate to them. Before leaving, she wrapped a few packets of soup in oiled paper and stuffed them secretly. She also brought two packets. Then close the door.
To be honest, it's only been ten days since it opened here, and I haven't stretched my arms and legs yet. I'm really reluctant to leave, but this matter is beyond her decision.
I hope the Queen Mother will soon get tired of the soup dumplings she made, and then let her out of the palace.
Fang Shu carried the packed package on her back, followed the Queen Mother's carriage, and walked slowly towards the palace.
Fortunately, it's not too far from the palace, otherwise it would be useless to walk on two legs alone.
The Queen Mother deserves to be a woman with a vicious signboard. She is too cruel. She rides a carriage by herself and lets hundreds of people walk. Along the way, she also follows officers and soldiers. The eunuchs gnawed dry buns under the sun.
Along the way, he still refused to walk properly, stopping here for a while, stopping somewhere for a while, and playing for an hour before walking.
Fang Shu originally thought of being lucky, glad that she was about to arrive at the palace, but she delayed her so much and stayed outside for more than an hour before entering the palace.
What did you play along the way, where did you go? Fang Shu observed it, maybe it will be useful in the future.
She did find out some things about the queen mother, for example, the queen mother is not very interested in playing, she only likes to eat, and wants to taste everything.
She turned out to be a seasoned eater, I really didn't expect it.
Fang Shu was a little surprised, but not surprised, because she had already inquired about the affairs of the palace masters when she first arrived.
When she first wore it on the emperor, she was still a poor court lady, she couldn't eat enough, couldn't wear warm clothes, and there was no monthly routine in the past few months, so she thought about upgrading.
The palace maids in the imperial garden wanted to upgrade, so they could only go to serve in various palaces and courtyards. Fang Shu began to wonder, which master would be easy to get along with
After knowing that the Queen Mother loves food, my first reaction was that foodies are pure and simple. At that time, I wanted to choose the Queen Mother, but when I asked Chang Qing, I was shocked.
She asked if the queen mother was fierce
Changqing said it was fine.
She asked if she had killed anyone
Changqing: I really haven’t counted them.
She asked again: About how many
Changqing: After all, there are ten or twenty, right
After that, Fang Shu gave up her thoughts and focused on others, such as the biggest queen in the harem, and changed to hooking up with the queen.
It can be said that Changqing's words saved her life. Later, I heard that a maid who had just entered the Palace of Compassion and Ning accidentally pulled the lantern off while wiping it, and was beaten twenty times. The little girl was only twelve Years passed in a few days.
Fang Shu thought about herself, this body is only two or three years older than that maid, her birthday seems to have passed, she is fifteen years old this year.
No one gave her blessings, even she herself forgot, this birthday was passed quietly, which was a bit sad.
So the fifteenth birthday gift was to let her enter the palace
Fang Shu rolled her eyes, resigned herself to follow Aunt Yun to the back kitchen for a stroll, and then arranged a dormitory for her.
Because the back cooks are all eunuchs, and some of the cooks the queen mother invited from outside the palace are men in all likelihood, and there is also a couple who make sesame seed cakes, so Fang Shu is very lucky to be able to live in a hut by herself.
At the end of the two times, the ancients were superstitious, do not want the head and the tail, and the room facing the corridor, so this room is cheaper for Fang Shu, the bed is not small, more than enough to sleep alone.
In fact, if the queen mother is okay, the treatment is quite good. There is a single room, and as long as she is well served every month, she can get a hundred gold.
Baijin should have estimated her shop and the profit of her place as remuneration, would it be more embarrassing if she gave less
So a hundred gold was paid in one breath.
Now I just hope that even if the queen mother is not easy to speak, don't make it too difficult, and it is best not to see the queen mother, one front yard and one back kitchen are just right.
Fang Shu just arrived, and she didn't slack off on the first day. After putting down the salute, she ran to the back kitchen to help others. It happened that it was almost dinner time, and everyone was already busy.
While she was talking, she gave her hands. There were a few supervising eunuchs beside her, and they could see everything they said and did.
This is because she is afraid that someone will poison her. The queen mother is very sorry for her life. After all, there are still good days to come, so I can understand.
The queen mother is very particular about meals, staple food, vegetables, soups, snacks, and fruits, she doesn't eat much at a time, but she likes to taste a little of each, which is extremely extravagant.
She alone accounts for half of the expenses of the harem, and the emperor doesn't care much about these external things, he is a man who makes money every day.
What's more, now that there is no harem, you can only support the queen mother alone, can you still afford it
Because of the emperor's indulgence, she was more or less angry with her own son, and the queen mother was very willing to bear with her.
Her daily expenses are in the hundreds of gold, and she has a lot of chefs, cooking materials, clothes, jewelry and so on.
Because it was only the first day, this was the most Fang Shu could find out.
After dinner, there will be a supper. Every day, the Queen Mother will send the names of the dishes in advance, and they will follow suit.
In fact, Fang Shu was a little worried, so Ye Xiao also stayed behind, and continued to bear it, watching how others did it.
She is not a person who is not sure about fighting. When she arrives in an unfamiliar environment, she will first consider how to survive better.
Undoubtedly coaxing the Empress Dowager now, it is very important to understand how the Compassionate Palace works.
The scientific research has come to an end, Yin Fei is very free today, and even began to look forward to the rain.
When it rains, there is an excuse to find her.
It's a pity, when I raised my eyes and looked out the window, the weather was dry, and I didn't think it would rain at all.
Can't we go to her if it doesn't rain
Yin Fei suddenly put down the memorial, got up and walked out, saying as she walked, "Get the carriage ready, I'm going out of the palace."
Chang Qing hurriedly responded, and walked quickly, going to the horse cellar first to bring the carriage.
Yin Fei had already put on his cloak and veiled hat, before the carriage stopped completely, he jumped on it, almost leaving the palace in a hurry.
It was not far away, and she was in a hurry, so she arrived at the place very quickly. At this point, she had already closed the shop, but there was only a faint light coming out of the window on the second floor.
Yin Fei took off his veiled hat and stared at the window for a long time. He keenly noticed that the chili pepper Fang Shu had put on the window sill was gone, and a shadow with two braids flashed across the window paper.
"Hibiscus?"
Fang Shu doesn't know how to wear this kind of braid, she likes to tie it loosely at the back, especially when she is sleeping, without any decorations, it looks a little old-fashioned, but her face is tender.
She's only fourteen years old, isn't she a little too young
When Mu Jin heard the voice, she thought it was Li Zhai, and hurriedly opened the window, poked her head out, and found that it was the emperor.
The emperor's eyebrows and eyes were cold, and there was a chill in his eyes. Only Fang Shu could get along with him peacefully. She couldn't do it, and she was taken aback by him.
"Is Fang Shu there?" He remembered Fang Shu's words and asked as gently as possible.
Mu Jin shook her head, "Didn't she go to the palace to find you? Don't you know?"
Yin Fei frowned, turned back without saying a word, and ordered as soon as she got into the carriage, "Go find someone to check, what happened to her?"
She is not a person who is willing to be trapped in the palace. He knew it a long time ago. He gave her the opportunity to choose a wish. This wish can be to stay in the palace, or to have a good life. She didn't choose, but...
Yin Fei touched her face, as if the sense of touch is still the same now, but it has become less clear due to the passage of time.
He put down his hands and looked at the dark night outside the carriage, his pupils were involuntarily tinged with coldness.
Abnormality is a demon, she suddenly said that something must have happened when she went to the palace to look for him.
