When Xiaoman heard what Mu Yexing said, she didn't feel flattered at all. She was just surprised that Mu Yexing clearly knew that she was a woman.
She even wants to have dinner with me. Does she really not care about the distinction between men and women? Mu Yexing looked at Xiaoman's expression and felt very unhappy.
"Why, Master Chen, you seem very unhappy when I ask you to stay and have dinner with me?"
Xiao Man immediately smiled and said, "How is that possible! I am so happy to have a meal with the prince! Haha, but my meal has already been delivered to my yard."
Mu Yexing smiled and said, "I thought it was some kind of problem. This is easy to solve. Just have someone serve the food here."
Mu Yexing said as she looked at the maid who had just brought the meal over: "Why don't you go and bring Master Chen's meal over. Master Chen will eat here."
The maid took the order and quickly left. Xiaoman could only sit down and smiled at Mu Yexing, but she felt extremely depressed in her heart.
As for her meals, you have to know that what she eats is different from what the prince eats. The most important thing is that hers is not just a little bit more delicious. After all, her food comes from the space.
Only people like Qian Jiujiu are recognized by Xiaoman, so Xiaoman will prepare space meals for them, but Mu Yexing is obviously not within this recognition range.
Soon Xiaoman's meal was delivered, and Mu Yexing smelled a fragrance. He looked at Xiaoman with a half-smile on his lips: "I didn't expect Mr. Chen's meal to be so fragrant."
Xiaoman glanced at Mu Yexing unhappily, knowing that Mu Yexing wanted to say, "You are hiding something!" Xiaoman didn't think that she did anything wrong.
After all, the meal given to Mu Yexing was considered a delicacy. Just when they were about to eat, Lin Huan came again: "It seems that I came at the right time."
"This smells really good, is it the work of Mr. Chen?"
Seeing Lin Huan coming, Mu Yexing couldn't help but invite him: "Teacher, you're here just in time. Let's have dinner together."
Lin Huan did not refuse, but smiled at the two of them: "Alright, it's okay, I just happened to come across such a top-notch product, how can I not try it."
The two of them had already started eating while talking, and Xiaoman on the side was very unhappy. That was her food, okay? She actually took away her food.
Xiaoman was very depressed that they started eating like this, so she took her chopsticks and joined the crowd grabbing food. The whole lunch was spent with several people scrambling for food.
The maids who were preparing to serve the master were all shocked. Master, is this really okay? Why do they feel like their jobs have been taken away
Soon, several people finished their meal, still looking unsatisfied. Mu Yexing looked at Xiaoman and said, "Mr. Chen's cooking skills are good."
"From now on, the meals of this prince will be in your hands. Just follow today's standard."
Xiaoman couldn't help but widen her eyes. Was this the so-called "taking an inch and pushing it further"? He had clearly taken away her food, but she still had to eat this in the future.
Why? Mu Yexing looked at Xiaoman's wide eyes and looked at him with amusement: "Mr. Chen, could it be that you will never be able to do it again?"
Xiaoman shook her head: "I can do it, Your Highness, don't worry, I know."
After getting Xiaoman's answer, Mu Yexing seemed to have won a battle: "That's it, by the way, I still have some things to deal with, so I'll leave first."
Lin Huan also stood up and followed the prince. It was time for him to teach the prince. Xiaoman stood up only after Mu Yexing and Lin Huan left.
The whole person's face was puffy, and the chubby face looked even cuter, and he looked like he was being bullied. The maid next to him was very excited.
Looking at Xiaoman: "Mr. Chen, do you need my help?"
Xiaoman glanced at the maid and said, "No need, I'm going back to my room."
After saying that, Xiaoman went back to her room, but the maid looked at Xiaoman's back reluctantly, and Xiaoman couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
She was just a woman dressed as a man, could it be possible that she had seduced a little maid's heart? These little maids' hearts were really easy to seduce. Then she shook her head and stopped thinking about these messy things.
In the Prince's Mansion, Xiaoman didn't have much to do except taking care of Mu Yexing's meals, so now that she was free, Xiaoman felt a little bored.
At this time, a young eunuch came to Prince Xiao's palace. This young eunuch was none other than the most proud eunuch beside the Queen. Qian Jiujiu originally wanted to go to the palace in the afternoon.
She didn't expect the eunuch beside the queen would come. She didn't even need an excuse. She asked the maids around her to take good care of the two young masters, and Qian Jiujiu entered the palace with the eunuch.
When they arrived at the Queen's palace, they saw the Queen turning around in the portraits. Qian Jiujiu dismissed the eunuch himself and said, "You go down first."
After she finished speaking, Qian Jiujiu spoke a little louder and looked at the queen: "The daughter-in-law pays respects to the queen mother. May the queen mother be blessed with good health."
The queen raised her head when she heard Qian Jiujiu's voice: "Jiu'er is here, just in time, I have something to talk to you about, come and see, these are all the daughters of various families."
"Who do you think is suitable to be the Crown Princess? There are still more than ten days to choose one. It will be a good opportunity to enthrone the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess at the same time."
Qian Jiujiu did not expect that the Queen would actually ask her to consult the Crown Princess's situation, and Qian Jiujiu actually saw the daughter of the Ren family there.
She looked at the Queen in confusion and asked, "Does your mother have a candidate in mind? Have you discussed this matter with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
The Queen glanced at Qian Jiujiu and said, "You have reminded me. I will have the Crown Prince summoned to the palace and let him choose for himself. You have time too, so you can take a look first."
After that, the queen asked the eunuchs around her to go out of the palace again to find the prince to enter the palace, and the queen waved to Qian Jiujiu: "Jiuer, come here quickly."
"I do have a few people I like, but I just can't choose one right now. Oh, you can also ask Concubine Qing to come over and help."
"Come to think of it, your mother and I have chosen different candidates. Do you want to go and pay your respects to your mother?"
Qian Jiujiu thought about the purpose of her entering the palace: "Mother, I will go to pay my respects to Mother first, and then ask Mother to come over to discuss it together, okay?"
The Queen also thought this was a good idea: "Then you go first, I will take a look myself."
Having said that, he let Qian Jiujiu leave and came to Concubine Qing's palace. Qian Jiujiu walked in directly without any obstruction and saw Concubine Qing walking out.
Looking at Qian Jiujiu: "Why is Jiuer here?"
Qian Jiujiu smiled and said, "It was Queen Mother who sent someone to ask my daughter-in-law to come to the palace. She said that they couldn't choose a Crown Princess and were overwhelmed by the choices. She asked my daughter-in-law to come and ask Queen Mother to go and take a look together."
When Concubine Qing heard this, she couldn't help but smile: "Yes, there are so many good girls, noble ladies from aristocratic families, it must be difficult to choose."
"Jiu'er, do you have a candidate in mind for the Crown Princess?"
Qian Jiujiu shook her head: "Who should the Crown Princess choose? This should be the Crown Prince's opinion. After all, she will spend the rest of her life with the Crown Prince. Of course, the Crown Prince should choose it himself."
Concubine Qing smiled and said, "I knew it. Jiuer is the smartest. Let's go and take a look first."
Qian Jiujiu responded, then calmly walked behind Concubine Qing and looked behind her neck, but only saw a blurry red dot.
Unable to see what the pattern was, Qian Jiujiu frowned and decided to take a gamble. She looked at Concubine Qing and said, "Mother, wait a minute, what is that behind you?"
Pretending to look puzzled at the area behind Concubine Qing's neck, Concubine Qing looked at Qian Jiujiu with some doubt. Qian Jiujiu had already walked behind Concubine Qing.
She reached out and pulled Concubine Qing's clothes, but was disappointed. She couldn't see any pattern there. It was just a red thing like a birthmark.
Qian Jiujiu was puzzled, but her face showed surprise: "It turned out to be a birthmark, I thought it was something that fell off! I wanted to help mother take it off!"
Concubine Qing smiled when she heard this: "You, this is indeed a birthmark, it can't be removed at all. Okay, let's go to the Queen's Palace."
Qian Jiujiu nodded, and then followed Concubine Qing to the Queen's Palace obediently. Thinking of King Ming's words, Qian Jiujiu became more and more conflicted about Concubine Qing.
Is he really from the Great Zhou Dynasty? And what is the reason for poisoning Mu Yexiao? His mind was full of questions, and he soon arrived at the Queen's palace.
Seeing that the queen was still looking at the paintings, and seeing two people coming, the queen looked up and said, "Sister Qing Guifei, Jiuer, you are here, come and see."
"I saw a beauty, but she is more beautiful than Jiuer."
Qian Jiujiu's mouth twitched as she looked at the Queen. Was she the most beautiful person in the Queen's heart? There was a girl prettier than her.
She was so happy, what did that mean? Qian Jiujiu also walked over and looked at the person in the painting and the introduction on the scroll: "Lin Chuwu, daughter of the Shangshu."
Qian Jiujiu thought that this woman was not bad looking. In Qian Jiujiu's mind, she began to recall that she seemed to have never seen this person in Beijing.
I couldn't help but wonder: "Mother, how come I have never heard of this Lin Chuwu before?"
The Queen was also puzzled: "I am also puzzled. It seems that this person has never appeared at the banquet, and I have never heard of such a beauty in Minister Lin's family."
The three of them looked at each other, and Concubine Qing smiled and said, "What's there to be curious about? Generally, outstanding women in a family will be well trained."
"They will only show themselves in public when there is a good opportunity. I can only say that Minister Lin's ambitions are probably not small."
