Concubine Qing looked at the empty courtyard, wondering: "Where is your princess?"
Dongchen was also somewhat puzzled, but he generally knew Qian Jiujiu's whereabouts: "Your Majesty, when the princess is not in the courtyard, she is usually in the kitchen."
"Because I need to take care of the prince's health recently, the princess is preparing his meals. Now it's time for lunch."
After Dongchen finished speaking, he looked at the prince and said, "Prince, I have tried my best to speak well of the princess."
Mu Yexiao was also satisfied with this answer. Concubine Qing said, "Then let's go to the kitchen. When you get to the kitchen door, you are not allowed to speak. I will go in by myself."
As she said that, she took the lead and went into the kitchen. Mu Yexiao and Dong Chen could not help but look at each other. What on earth was Concubine Qing here for today
Why did he have a feeling that his mother was here to cause trouble today
At this time, Mu Yexiao's feelings were naturally ignored, because Concubine Qing had already arrived in front of the kitchen. As expected, she saw a figure busy in the kitchen.
And it smells so good, it seems that this daughter-in-law still has some merits. Thinking of this, Concubine Qing coughed twice to show her presence.
When Qian Jiujiu heard the cough, she naturally turned around and saw a beautiful woman standing there. Anyone who could stand here must be a person of noble status.
After thinking about it, Qian Jiujiu felt that her attitude should be better. Hongling and Hongchou did know Concubine Qing, but why was Concubine Qing here
And just as the two of them were about to speak, they received a signal from Concubine Qing to shut up.
Suddenly, the two of them dared not speak, and could only look at Qian Jiujiu with an apologetic look. Qian Jiujiu did not look at them at this time, but her eyes were attracted by Concubine Qing who appeared at the door.
She walked to Concubine Qing in two or three steps and said, "This sister is so beautiful. Are you here to visit me in my courtyard?"
When Concubine Qing heard this name, she was stunned for a moment, then she felt a little happy in her heart. She looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "This child has good taste. What delicious food are you making?"
When everyone heard Qian Jiujiu's address, they all looked shocked. Princess, that's your mother-in-law, not your sister.
But when I heard Concubine Qing's answer, it was even more amazing. How could you not be so principled just because you were praised? Aren't you here to cause trouble
Qian Jiujiu glanced at everyone in the yard. It seemed that no one had any intention of stopping her from talking to her sister. She felt relieved immediately and could talk without worry.
"This is the chicken soup I made. It's for nourishing the body. Your Majesty's health is too poor. He needs to take good care of himself. He will be fine in a week."
"By the way, sister, I made a lot, you can try some later, my cooking skills are pretty good."
Mu Yexiao finally couldn't help coughing twice: "Mother, that's your daughter-in-law. And Jiu'er, this is my mother, Concubine Qing, you should call her mother."
When Qian Jiujiu heard this, she immediately looked embarrassed! What! Is this her mother-in-law? No, this is a bullshit mother-in-law. She will not be one after she divorces.
But it is still the case now. Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu's eyes lit up. This is the emperor's concubine.
Why did Qian Jiujiu feel a surge of excitement in her heart? Looking at Concubine Qing, Qian Jiujiu smiled so sweetly: "The daughter-in-law greets the mother and pays respects to the mother."
"I haven't been to the palace to pay my respects to my mother for a few days. I am very worried. Now I have troubled my mother to come. It's all my fault."
Seeing Qian Jiujiu suddenly change her style and become a typical lady from a noble family, Mu Yexiao and others were stunned. Is this really the same person
Is she schizophrenic? Can she instantly transform into another person? Even Concubine Qing was embarrassed. How could she be so powerful
Mu Yexiao coughed twice and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Speak properly."
Qian Jiujiu suddenly felt so aggrieved. She had been working so hard for Mu Yexiao. At least she couldn't let her identity be exposed.
But what does it mean to speak nicely? She looked puzzled: "Why do I always speak like this?"
Mu Yexiao couldn't help but look up at the sky. "You've almost exposed yourself. If you continue to pretend, who do you think you can fool?"
What on earth is wrong with Qian Jiujiu's brain? Mu Yexiao only felt a flock of crows flying across the sky in the yard...
Qian Jiujiu looked at everyone's behavior and couldn't help but put her hands down. She was a little depressed: "What's wrong? They all act like they don't know me. Don't ladies talk like that?"
"Don't I look like one?"
When Concubine Qing heard this, she immediately laughed: "You pretended very well, but too well. I guess they haven't seen your ladylike side, so they are surprised."
Qian Jiujiu immediately looked at Concubine Qing with a very touched expression: "Mother, you are a good person, you are better than all of them."
"Hey, mother, do you smell anything?"
Qian Jiujiu sniffed as he spoke: "Oh my god, my food is burnt."
It seemed that everyone was standing there, and Qian Jiujiu had already forgotten about her dish. She returned to the pot and found that the dish was already burnt, so she gave up and found something inedible.
Imperial Concubine Qing curled her lips and glanced at Mu Yexiao: "My son, your mother will stay and have lunch with you at noon."
Mu Yexiao naturally would not object: "Then please ask mother to stay, Jiuer's cooking skills are still very good."
Qian Jiujiu shuddered when she heard Mu Yexiao call her Jiuer. Why is it so cold? She had goose bumps all over her body. What was King Xiao trying to do
In front of his mother, he called her so affectionately. Didn't he know that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies
I don't know if Concubine Qing will embarrass her. It seems that she won't. Forget it, let's cook first. If Concubine Qing embarrasses her, then she will just have to bear with it.
Anyway, she is so pitiful. A group of people are fighting for one man. Just bear with it for her sake.
Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu didn't care at all and continued to lower her head to make lunch. Soon it was almost done, and because there was one more person, Qian Jiujiu also made a little more.
"Hongling, take out all the dishes."
Hong Ling and Hong Chou came to serve the dishes quickly. Mu Yexiao and Concubine Qing were already seated. Looking at Qian Jiujiu, Mu Yexiao called out, "Jiuer, come and sit next to me."
Qian Jiujiu Mo paused, are they so familiar with each other? But the other person's mother is beside him, so at least give her some face.
She smiled at Mu Yexiao and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After thanking her, Qian Jiujiu walked over and came down, and also served Mu Yexiao a bowl of chicken soup: "My lord, your chicken soup, I put a lot of medicinal herbs in it."
“It tastes good and it strengthens the body.”
Mu Yexiao took it and drank it directly: "This tastes good."
Concubine Qing watched the two people getting along and always felt that something was weird, but she couldn't tell what was weird. She lowered her head and ate the food, which tasted good.
But when she thought that Qian Jiujiu was just a concubine's daughter of the Qian family, she felt a little conflicted.
Although this Jiujiu girl is a miracle doctor, her status is too low. Thinking of this, Concubine Qing felt a little uncomfortable, so forget it.
Since she can cure the prince, I will not make things difficult for her. No one knows her identity anyway. Later, when the prince gets better, I will find a lady from a noble family. This way, my prince will not be wronged.
Concubine Qing had already made up her mind, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she looked at Qian Jiujiu enthusiastically.
Qian Jiujiu was still a little puzzled. The emperor's women were all masters of palace fighting, so why were they so kind
Seeing how kind she is, shouldn't she return the favor
Qian Jiujiu was still thinking, but Mu Yexiao glanced at her and said, "Jiu'er, do you still have the facial mask you make every night? If you have any, give some to mother."
Concubine Qing was a little puzzled: "What kind of facial mask?"
Qian Jiujiu blinked and looked at Mu Yexiao: "Your Majesty, those facial masks are for improving my skin, and my mother's skin is already very good."
"Besides, if mother needs a facial mask, you asked me to prepare one for her. This is the only way to express our feelings. How can we share some of it?"
Mu Yexiao coughed twice and said, "How long will it take you to prepare one? Mother has to go back to the palace."
Concubine Qing said she was unhappy. She had just left the palace, so why did her son want to drive her back? It turned out that he forgot his mother after getting a wife. This concubine felt very sad.
Thinking of this, he looked at Mu Yexiao with a somewhat resentful look, and suddenly Mu Yexiao felt that his head was about to explode.
Qian Jiujiu was looking at Concubine Qing very seriously, which made Concubine Qing a little scared. Then Qian Jiujiu shifted her gaze and looked at Mu Yexiao.
"Your Majesty, if you want to prepare it, I need to go to the pharmacy or ask the housekeeper to buy it. I don't have any ready-made medicine."
"But please wait a day, mother. Your daughter-in-law will be ready tomorrow. Then I will go to the palace with the prince to see you."
Concubine Qing didn't even know what a facial mask was! Naturally, she wasn't very enthusiastic, she just hummed and said, "You guys are interested, then it's up to you."
Just as he finished speaking, the butler led a eunuch in. The eunuch looked at Concubine Qing with a strange expression: "My Lady Concubine, the Emperor asked you to return to the palace."
Imperial Concubine Qing pouted unhappily: "I have only been out for a short while. Forget it, let's go back. By the way, daughter-in-law, remember to come to the palace to see me tomorrow."
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "Farewell, mother. Your daughter-in-law will definitely come to see you tomorrow."
After getting Qian Jiujiu's promise, Concubine Qing left. The eunuch who came in later glanced at Qian Jiujiu inconspicuously.
It seems that the princess is very fond of the imperial concubine, otherwise the imperial concubine would have been unable to forget her after just meeting her for a short while.
