Every noon, the small kitchen is the busiest time.
Because I have errands on my body, I use meals in exchange. Especially since King Jin came to Xiaokuayuan last time, there was no servants in the courtyard, and Yuyan and Yucui restrained servants even more.
Yaoniang came to the small kitchen to get her lunch.
The nurses' meals are all made individually, because they want to breastfeed the little princess, and the meals are all first-class. Not to mention delicacies from mountains and seas, but also chicken, duck and fish. There are no different dishes every day, and snacks and fruits besides three meals are indispensable.
In addition to the three meat dishes and one vegetarian dish, today there is also a stewed soup, which is pig's trotters stewed with soybeans, and some herbs are added. This kind of soup is the best for milk, and it will be stewed in a pot every now and then in the small kitchen to nourish the nurses.
There are some oily flowers floating on the milky white soup, among which are pieces of crispy stewed pig's trotters, occasionally with light yellow beans, which rise and fall with the fire. The soup is stewed before dawn in the morning, and it is simmering slowly over a low fire. When the lid is opened, a burst of aroma bursts out, which makes people salivate uncontrollably.
"It's so delicious. Mom Mo made something delicious today. Share some of it with me and try it." The one who spoke was a little girl named Xiaoman. I just want to taste two bites.
At that time, when he first entered Xiaokuayuan, he was still slender, but now he is eating well. According to the women in the yard, they can be pulled out and slaughtered during the Chinese New Year. Naturally, these words are not to blame, but a kind of helplessness that can't help but laugh.
Xiaoman has a sweet mouth and is diligent, so everyone loves her very much.
Seeing that Xiao Man was getting hungry again, Mrs. Mo slapped her fat paw away with a smile: "Go to the side, this is for some nannies, you can't eat it."
Xiao Man swallowed her saliva, enviously said: "Nurse Su and the others eat really good food, if only I can eat their food every day."
On the side, Mrs. Wang was filling a big wooden basin with cooked vegetables. When she heard this, she laughed and joked: "It's not easy to eat, so hurry up and find a man to marry. When the time comes, you will add a kid to me. Going to be a nanny is a very lucrative job."
Mrs. Zhao scolded her: "You really are an idiot, Xiaoman is still young, you don't have to teach her bad by telling her this." She said, stuffing fennel beans to Xiaoman: "fill your mouth .”
Xiao Man thanked him, laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth and ran away. They are rough maids, and they usually get their turn at the end of the meal.
Seeing Yaoniang coming in, Mrs. Mo smiled and said to her, "Nurse Su is quite early today."
Yaoniang nodded: "The princess is asleep, so I'll come first, and Miss Yuyan will come later."
The nannies' meals had already been prepared and put on plates, and they were sitting aside, leaving only the soup. Mrs. Mo looked at Yaoniang with some hesitation, and asked: "Today, I have stewed pig's trotter soup. Would Mrs. Su have a bowl?"
Yao Niang used to dislike meat, especially this kind of meat soup. In order to nurse the little princess, she eats as much meat and vegetables as possible on weekdays, but never drinks broth. But Yaoniang's milk is good, so it doesn't matter if she drinks it or not. Mrs. Mo knows her nature well, so she asks this question.
Unexpectedly, the sun came out from the west today, so Yaoniang nodded.
Mrs. Mo was surprised, but it's never easy to talk about eating, because people's tastes change all the time. I didn't like it yesterday, maybe I will like it today, and there is nothing to be curious about.
Yao Niang carried the food box and went back to her room.
Open the food box and bring out the meals one by one. Although the dishes are not so delicious, but the quantity is very large, and each dish has a small plate.
Yao ate in small mouthfuls, putting all the wooden chopsticks on the meat.
If other people see this, I'm afraid they will be shocked again. I said before that Yaoniang likes vegetarian and doesn't like meat.
It can be seen that Yao Niang is a bit reluctant to eat, but she still fills her mouth, not only finished a bowl of rice, but also ate a lot of vegetables.
This amount of food is really astonishing, and Yao Niang is obviously in a state of full stomach, but finally swallowed the bowl of pig's trotter soup with the greasy food.
After eating, she even had a feeling that the food had reached her throat.
There is a reason why Yaoniang is like this. In recent days, she has found that her milk is getting less and less.
At first, she didn't feel it, but as the little princess's food intake increased day by day, she began to feel the strain.
It stands to reason that this kind of situation shouldn't happen to Yaoniang, she has been a mother for two lifetimes, and she has taken care of a few babies, so she naturally knows how to keep the milk flowing. She squeezed some out at a fixed time every day, no matter whether the little princess ate or not. In this case, as long as the nutrition is sufficient, the milk supply will be maintained.
But now it's good, even though she expresses every day, the milk is still getting less and less, and in the past few days she doesn't even feel engorged.
Yaoniang was very panicked, she was a nanny, how could she be a nanny without milk? Don't even have to do errands! At first, she was a little bit angry with King Jin, thinking that it was all because of him that this situation was caused.
But she was always timid, and she didn't dare to say it in front of King Jin, she could only push as she could, block as she could, and she never forgot to observe secretly. Later, she found out that it seemed to have nothing to do with Jin Wang, and she was angry.
Just why the milk will become less
After thinking about it, Yaoniang realized that this must have something to do with her eating less meat, which is why she is in this situation today.
After eating too much, Yaoniang didn't dare to walk around, but rested in the room before taking the dishes to the kitchen. After that, I went to the small building and changed Yuyan to eat.
In a blink of an eye, the day passes. After Nanny Qian and Nanny Wang came to check in, Yaoniang went back to the house.
She fetched water to prepare to take a bath when she heard a commotion outside.
Yao Niang opened the door and looked out, there was a lot of noise from the small building, mixed with the crying of the little princess, it seemed that something happened.
She didn't have time to think about it, she quickly closed the door and went to the small building. After entering the room, she saw Nanny Mu terrified and angry, Nanny Qian and Nanny Wang were in mourning, Yu Cui was holding the weeping princess with an ugly face, but Yuyan was gone.
The room was in a mess, and Lu'e and the others were running around in a hurry.
"what happened?"
Seeing Yaoniang coming, Nanny Qian pointed at her and said, "Nurse, Sister Wang and I have just arrived on duty, and we haven't had time to breastfeed the little Princess. It must be Nanny Su's greedy mouth that ate something, which will hurt her. The little princess is like this."
Hearing this, Yaoniang was stunned, and before she could explain, she rushed to Yucui's side.
In her arms, the little princess's head and face were covered with scary red rashes, and the little princess was already crying hoarsely, her face was flushed, and the rash looked even more terrifying and swollen.
Hearing this, Nanny Mu looked over with sharp eyes.
Yaoniang explained: "I didn't eat anything, I just ate food from the small kitchen all day today."
Nanny Qian had to be reasonable and unforgiving, and she said it very firmly: "The situation of the little princess, it seems that there is a rash at first glance. The baby of this month, apart from the nanny eating something unclean, there is no other way to pass it to her. The reason. Nanny Su, if you really cheated, just tell the truth, don’t delay the little princess’s condition, and no one will be able to save you by then.”
"Mommy, this servant really didn't cheat."
In fact, Nanny Mu is willing to trust Yaoniang subconsciously. This has nothing to do with other things. It is probably because she knows the relationship between King Jin and Yaoniang, which is a kind of extra favoritism. But it was precisely because of Yaoniang's private relationship with King Jin that Mammy Mu became suspicious of her.
Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Hu was favored in front of King Jin. No one who came out of the palace knew more about how terrible a woman's jealousy was.
Originally, a meek and virtuous woman could do all kinds of unimaginable things because of jealousy. It is true that concubines with miscarriages, heirs who died young, and baby babies in swaddling babies are easy to die young, but there are too many premature deaths, and everyone knows that it is not simple.
And this is not simple, it should be on those beautiful women in the palace who are as beautiful as flowers but are all snake-hearted.
Will Yaoniang be angry with the princess because she is jealous of Concubine Hu? Even if this matter is not caused by jealousy, don't forget that Yaoniang was brought by Princess Jin. These days, the princess and Concubine Hu are fighting like a raging fire. Did the concubine order Yaoniang to do it in order to destroy Concubine Hu's greatest honor guard?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Nanny Mu's mind between the sparks of calcium carbide, so facing Yaoniang's explanation, she chose to remain silent.
Madam Mu's attitude obviously also affected Yucui and even Lu'e and others. Their eyes flickered at Yaoniang, and the light in them seemed to be suspicious.
Yaoniang suddenly felt a little sad. Ever since she came to Xiaokua Courtyard, she has treated people sincerely and diligently, and the people in Xiaokua Courtyard are also affectionate with her. Maybe other people treat her kindly with some kind of purpose, it is Yuyan and Lu'e, they The intimacy is not mixed with any personal purpose.
They are all people who serve the little princess, and naturally they all have one wish, that is to serve the little princess well. Because they share the same wish, everyone has a special sense of intimacy.
But now this kind of intimacy has been destroyed because of an unwarranted crime.
Why is it so fragile? Why don't you believe her
At this moment, Yu Cui suddenly said, "Nurse Qian, don't talk nonsense when you have no shadow. We all know the character of Mrs. Su, she is not a liar."
Hearing this, Yaoniang suddenly seemed to gain strength all of a sudden.
She glanced at Yu Cui gratefully, and said to Nanny Mu: "Mommy, Yaoniang really didn't eat anything other than the food in the small kitchen today, I hope you will learn from her."
"Who knows if you ate or not?" Nanny Qian retorted.
Mu Momo pondered for a while, and said: "Which is right and which is wrong, let's not talk about it for the time being, whether it is because of Mrs. Su that caused the little Princess's illness, I will judge when my Highness comes down later."
While talking, Yuyan has led Doctor Liu Liang in hastily.
Physician Liu Liang was in his sixtieth year, and he was born thin and thin, with a few wisps of goatee. He was originally an imperial physician in the palace, and he and King Jin came to Jinzhou when King Jin became a vassal. He served as a good doctor in the good doctor's office of Jinwangfu, with high morals and prestige, and outstanding medical skills.
He followed Yuyan into the room and came to the little princess. He first directed the servants to put the little princess on the bed, then took a silver needle from the medicine boy behind him, and slowly inserted it in a place on the little princess's neck. The little princess immediately calmed down and fell into a coma.
"This kind of crying is not good, let the little princess rest for a while." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to feel his pulse.
And during this period, not only side concubine Hu arrived, but also Jin Wang and Jin Wangfei.
The three of them were all in a hurry, obviously rushing over after receiving the news.
After Hu Fangfei entered the room, she cried when she saw the situation of the little princess. One mouthful of my poor daughter, and then scolded Yuyan and others for how they served her.
Concubine Jin frowned, with a solemn face, "Fan Hu, pay attention to your demeanor, Doctor Liu Liang is treating the little Princess, can you shut your mouth first?"
In fact, if it was possible, Princess Jin would not want to come, she wished that Concubine Hu would be unlucky, and that the little princess would die, she would be happier than anyone else. It's a pity that as the hostess of a mansion, it is impossible for her not to show up under such circumstances.
After King Jin came in, he sat down on a chair beside her, and Fu Cheng stood behind her.
His handsome face was cold and serious, and he turned the sapphire ring on the ring finger of his right hand from time to time with his left hand. Those who are familiar with his character can know how restless his mood is at this time.
Seeing Princess Jin speak, Concubine Hu not only did not listen, but refuted a few words. He snorted immediately, and the air in the room suddenly cooled down, making one feel like falling into an ice cellar.
Immediately, everyone was afraid to speak, wishing they could even suppress their breathing, and the room was silent, as if there was no one in it.
After a long time, Doctor Liu Liang let out a breath slowly, breaking the entire silence.
"From the current point of view, the little princess has a rash because she ate something that is not suitable for her constitution."
