Chapter 695 The Greedy Queen Mother
Chapter 695 The Greedy Queen Mother
Ningyuxuan.
Food room.
To be honest, all the ladies at that time were a little envious of Lady Gao.
Eating quickly has its advantages.
Didn’t you see that Miss Gao got a big loaf of bread for free just because she ate too fast?
At this time, Hongyue also brought up the hot and sour noodles, and everyone had a portion.
"Empress, I'd rather be a maid in Ningyuxuan. I don't want monthly allowance, as long as you let me have three meals a day."
While eating the hot and sour noodles in her bowl, Concubine Jiang made a request to their Queen.
"I am willing too."
Jin Cairen followed Jiang Cairen to join in the fun.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at Jin Cairen with complicated eyes.
Jin Cairen, you used to be a transparent person in front of these people.
She didn't dare say a word.
It was only after the Queen Mother came to the palace that Jin Cairen finally straightened his head.
Now, no matter what the occasion, she says whatever she wants to say.
It seems that none of them have the ability to recognize people as Jin Cairen.
Didn't she only gain a firm foothold step by step by clinging to the current Queen?
"The servants of Ningyuxuan still receive their meals in the palace's main kitchen."
Huang Ye looked at Jiang Cairen jokingly.
She also likes this lively and cheerful little girl.
"Forget it, I don't want to eat the food from the big kitchen."
Jiang Cairen was originally speaking in a joking manner, trying to liven up the atmosphere.
She didn't want to come to Ningyuxuan to make a living at all.
"Jiang Cairen, you just don't know how to read people's faces. Can you live in Ningyuxuan just because you want to?"
Xu Rou said sarcastically.
It can be said that she would be unhappy, and even hostile, to anyone who wanted to live closer to the emperor.
Her words clearly meant that Concubine Jiang was wishful thinking.
She wants to show off under the emperor's nose, but it would be strange if the queen agrees.
"Sister Xupin..."
Jiang Cairen looked at Huang Ye somewhat awkwardly.
"I just said that. I have no intention of living in Ningyuxuan..."
Huang Ye smiled at Jiang Cairen soothingly.
"I know that when we sisters eat together and say some funny things, it shows that we have a harmonious relationship."
She looked at Xu Rou again.
"It seems that Concubine Xu doesn't like this kind of harmonious and lively atmosphere. If you really don't like it, you should not participate in such occasions in the future."
It can be said that Huang Ye’s words were quite unpleasant to the ear.
Didn’t you see Xu Rou’s face suddenly turn red?
"I...I just agreed with you casually. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty..."
She doesn't want to be excluded by these people in the future.
Not to mention that Ningyuxuan has so many delicious foods.
If she simply paid her respects and went back empty-handed, her aunt would beat her to death.
So without waiting for Huang Ye to speak, she turned around and apologized to Jiang Cairen.
"Jiang Cairen, I just said the wrong thing because I was too quick to speak. I hope you won't take it to heart."
Does Jiang Cairen dare to care?
Of course I wouldn’t dare.
"Sister Xu, please don't say that. I just spoke without thinking. What you are suggesting is..."
Jiang Cairen stood up with fear and trepidation, looked at Xu Rou and said.
This Concubine Xu is not a reasonable person.
Even if she dared to apologize, Jiang Cairen would not dare to accept it.
"Alright, alright, from now on you all have to live in harmony and don't let things like today happen again."
Originally, Huang Ye hadn't thought about doing anything to Xu Rou today.
She is now concentrating on looking at her two masters.
"Master, you can eat this bread later. Ning Yuxuan has plenty of this stuff. Try this hot and sour noodle quickly. Even the emperor likes it."
Everyone in the room pricked up their ears at this time.
There are plenty of bread in Ningyuxuan? And the emperor also likes to eat this hot and sour noodles?
you do not say…
This hot and sour noodle is so delicious that not only the emperor but they also like it very much.
After these people had finished eating and put down their bowls, Huang Ye announced that this morning's greetings were over.
The senior palace maids of these people all came in from outside and stood behind their masters.
It seems that they are all full outside.
Nowadays, these masters are used to eating by themselves and don’t need to be served.
"My lady...the bread..."
Seeing that no one took the initiative to speak, Gao Meiren had no choice but to ask for it herself with a lewd look on her face.
"I have prepared it for you a long time ago. When you leave, each of you can take one."
Huang Ye looked at Gao Meiren with amusement.
"Today you have one more than others..."
She was referring to the bread that Gao Meiren had just taken a bite of.
"That's what I deserve."
Gao Meiren looked at these people with complacency.
"Who told them not to eat as fast as concubines..."
Her words elicited a burst of good-natured laughter.
In the corridor outside the dining room, packages of bread wrapped in oil paper were placed on the table.
Because the bread is large, the oil paper bags look bulgy.
"The Queen is so kind to us."
Jin Cairen couldn't help but express his sincere gratitude.
Naturally, her words were echoed by everyone.
When the deposed queen was still alive, they were always very cautious when paying their respects to her, not daring to say a word more.
And if they said something wrong, they would definitely be punished by being deposed.
It's nothing like it is now.
Not only can they chat and laugh in Ningyuxuan, but they can also eat and drink for free.
Every time they left, they always carried their belongings with them.
Among the people here, Xu Rou was the only one who didn't show much interest in taking the food back.
Because even if she took these things back, she wouldn't be able to eat them.
Now her aunt, the Empress Dowager, is also looking forward to their coming to pay their respects to the Queen, just like them.
Because after he paid his respects to Shi Yaoyao, all the food he brought back went into the Empress Dowager's stomach.
Cining Palace.
Today is still the same as before.
When Xu Rou and Shi Yaoyao walked into the Cining Palace, the first thing the empress dowager looked at was the oil-paper bags in Qiu Die and Lian'er's hands.
"aunt…"
Look at Shi Yaoyao respectfully bowing to the Queen Mother.
Xu Rou squatted down perfunctorily.
Then, without waiting for the Queen Mother to speak, she stood up on her own.
"Open those things and let me see..."
The empress dowager raised her hand in a reserved manner, motioning Shi Yaoyao to stand up.
She didn't have breakfast in the morning and was really hungry now.
"This is Ning Yuxuan's morning meal. The Queen Mother said it's called bread. Queen Mother, please try it..."
Shi Yaoyao took the oil paper bag from Lian'er's hand and opened it on the table.
I saw four loaves of bread that had been squeezed a little deflated suddenly swelled up.
The golden skin and the sweet taste...
The Queen Mother couldn't help but pick one up and put it in her mouth to eat.
"The food at Ningyuxuan is really good..."
The Queen Mother finished a loaf of bread in one go before giving a heartfelt comment.
