Chapter 8 Chapter 8(1/2)
Wen Yin felt sleepy in the afternoon, so she didn't go to enjoy the plum blossoms either.
Aunt Yu took Nian Xia out and went out. The empress didn't like people in the room when she fell asleep, so she would clear out the people in the room at this time and wait until the empress woke up before bringing people in to serve her.
As soon as Nanny Yu left the Nuan Pavilion, Nian Chun twisted her waist and rushed over quickly, her eyes filled with fire.
"Mommy, it's really amazing. Some people just relied on receiving the favor for a few days, and then they started to raise their tails like crazy. How dare they ignore our queen!"
Aunt Yu frowned: "Tell me the important point."
Nian Chun then said with added jealousy, how the talented man Lan in Yonghe Palace spoke ill of the empress and spoke in a contemptuous and arrogant tone. The key point is that the talented man Lan was bold enough to say that their empress had hooked up with the emperor, and then dared to ridicule them.
The empress is a demon concubine.
Grandma Yu's face turned pale.
"Mommy, we can't just let this matter go, otherwise our Changxin Palace will lose the face of our empress!"
Aunt Yu glanced coldly at the indignant and eager-to-try Nian Chun, and asked: "Which palace is this letter from?"
Nianchun replied: "People from Concubine Zhuang's palace."
Grandma Yu turned around and looked around at Nianqiu and Niandong who were surrounding them. One was reserved and taciturn, the other was timid and timid, neither of them was very articulate. Then she could only focus on Nianchun who was looking at her.
"You go to the warehouse to get some isinglass, and then go to the big dining room to stew it. It's been dry these past few days and nights, so I need it to moisten my lungs."
Nian Chun rolled up his sleeves and raised his head: "Don't worry, mama, I will definitely be there to watch the stew in person. I will never come back until I finish stewing the tonic for you."
The isinglass needs to be simmered for two or three hours, and it will be night when it is ready.
"Take Nian Xia with you," said Grandma Yu, and then added, "Take two more rough ladies with you."
The eldest maid next to Lan Cairen came back crying.
Lan Cairen was surprised and asked her what was wrong, and the eldest palace maid cried and said that she was watching the queen's shark's fin being stewed in the dining room in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, someone suddenly came from Changxin Palace and said that the queen was stewing fish maw.
Domineeringly occupying her stove.
"Isn't there a dining room in Changxin Palace? Why do you go to the large dining room to stew tonic?"
Lan Cairen was surprised, puzzled, and aggrieved. Changxin Palace had its own dining room, so she had to go to the large dining room to squeeze in something, and she had to occupy the stove she used to stew tonics.
The eldest palace maid shook her head: "I don't know, but the people in Changxin Palace are very overbearing. They don't allow slaves to stew when they stew tonics. Even if slaves go to use the stove next to them, they don't allow them to return it, return it..."
He lowered his head and said in a voice like a gnat: "I also put the shark's fins that I had stewed for the queen in the firewood pile, and said, what kind of shark's fins to stew, why not stew a fish tail, or..." Stewing a chicken tail sticking up to the sky is also a good idea.
.
"Why are they so arrogant!" Lan Cairen slammed the table and was about to explode with anger.
The eldest maid swallowed the last half of her words.
"The steward of the dining room doesn't care!"
"When the steward of the large dining room saw the people from Changxin Palace coming in, he was waiting on them as if they were worshiping Buddha. The people from Changxin Palace did whatever they said, and when the slaves asked him for help, he just pretended not to see them.
"
"This snobbish villain." Lan Cairen gritted her teeth. When she received the favor a few days ago, the manager's face was not like this.
Lan was very popular, but he did not dare to quarrel with the people of Changxin Palace, so he told the eldest palace maid that the shark's fins would not be stewed today and asked her to go to the imperial dining room to bring some snacks.
Half an hour later, the maid came back with a depressed face and empty hands.
Lancai was angry and angry, but he had no choice but to stop eating even the snacks.
But at dinner time, when her eldest maid came back empty-handed, the hungry Lancai suddenly got up.
This time it’s not anger, but fear or fear! Changxin Palace is obviously dealing with her!
She was reckless, but not stupid. She quickly thought of how she felt sour when she was having a secret conversation with Anxuan this morning, so she couldn't help but say some sour words to the man from Changxin Palace.
Immediately, my whole face turned white.
In this harem, there is no one who is not afraid of being targeted by Changxin Palace, right?
Her face turned blue and white. She was afraid that Changxin Palace might not give up, and she was also resentful of An Xuan's betrayal. The more she thought about it, the more depressed, resentful, and aggrieved she became. She raised her palm and slapped it on the table.
He went down and cried: "Why is there no good person in this palace?!"
Qinzheng Hall.
The eunuch in the respect room held up a tray holding the signatures of the concubines and approached.
The people on the throne glanced at it, lowered their eyes and slowly knocked on the imperial desk.
Feng Bao held his breath, but still asked the eunuch in the court room knowingly: "Hey, why is the signature of the imperial concubine not there?"
"The people from Changxin Palace came to report that the queen is not feeling well, and they need to have her signature signed by the minister."
The eunuch in the Jingsi Room looked at the ground without moving his eyes. In the past few years, except for the day of the second day of the Lunar New Year, the imperial concubine has always asked for signatures on the grounds of physical discomfort. Last night was the sixteenth day, not the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Second, the imperial concubine has gone to bed, and the people in the service room thought that they would break the rules from now on. But who would have thought, just this morning, people from the Changxin Palace came and asked for a signature.
From this point of view, the convention is probably still the convention.
The man in the throne room said nothing and casually turned over a lot of cards.
Feng Baocheng stepped out of the palace and sang loudly: "Your Majesty is driving to Yonghe Palace——"
Nian Chun carried the stewed fish maw and walked proudly back to Changxin Palace.
Nian Xia looked at her with admiration all the way. When Nian Chun caught a glimpse of her from the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but straighten his waist.
"We in Changchun Palace should hold our heads high and show our strength wherever we go. Don't be cowardly and disgrace our master. Do you understand?"
Nian Xia nodded vigorously: "Nian Chun, you are so powerful. That palace maid is usually very arrogant, but in front of you she acts like a little chicken."
Nian Chun snorted: "Who the hell is she and she dares to be arrogant? If we, the people of Changxin Palace, say a word to her, we are giving her face."
Nian Xia also started to talk more: "I thought she could be so arrogant, but I never imagined that she was so angry that she cried before you even said a few words to her."
Nian Chun laughed happily, and his bad feeling towards Nian Xia disappeared a lot.
The two of them chatted quietly, and when they were approaching Changxin Palace, Nian Chun cleared his throat.
"Um, why do I seem to hear you singing at your concubine's place today?" She raised her face and said quickly: "I'm just asking. If you don't want to talk, don't say it. No one will force you."
Nian Xia hurriedly said: "It's the empress who is teaching me how to sing the sword dance."
Nian Chun immediately became sour: "Mother, will I teach you how to sing?"
"Well, your Majesty sings beautifully. I'll learn to sing it for you later. If you like it, I'll teach you how to sing it."
"Will you teach me?"
"I'll ask grandma later. If grandma agrees, I'll teach you how to sing."
"That's okay."
Aunt Yu took the stewed fish maw, and after listening to their replies, she let them go down and rest.
Seeing the two of them coming together and talking softly with smiles on their faces after leaving the palace, Grandma Yu couldn't help but relax her brows. She went there specifically with the two of them in the hope that their relationship could be eased.
.
After all, the disharmony between the two eldest palace ladies is not good for the stability of Changchun Palace.
Aunt Yu brought fish maw into the Nuan Pavilion and chatted with Wen Yin about the reconciliation between the two palace ladies.
"The little girl doesn't have any grudges. She makes noises and just agrees to it every few days. It's normal." Wen Yin lightly rubbed the needle between her hair and threaded the needle again: "Mommy, just teach me a lesson. No need.
It will be troublesome to find Nalancai again."
Aunt Yu wouldn't listen to this: "She is disrespectful to the empress. If I don't let her learn a lesson for three to five days, wouldn't that be an advantage to her? At the same time, it will open the eyes of other palaces, especially those who are new to the palace and don't know yet."
The noble ladies of heaven and earth know who they cannot offend with even a hair."
Wen Yin knew that he couldn't talk to her, so she stopped talking.
"Come, Madam, this isinglass has been simmered for several hours. It's the best. Eat it while it's hot."
Wen Yin heard the sound and looked over, and saw the other party holding a bowl and eagerly scooping out a spoonful.
Her face couldn't help but froze slightly. She really couldn't eat this. She always felt that the isinglass had a fishy smell no matter how it was processed.
"Then I...just take a bite."
Aunt Yu quickly handed it over: "Here, take a bite."
Wen Yin opened her mouth and held it in her mouth, barely swallowing it.
Nanny Yu took another spoonful, and Wen Yin almost immediately turned her face away and refused to eat.
"My dear, don't think it's fishy. Eating more of it will be good for your health. Isn't it better than taking medicine?"
Wen Yin had no choice but to persuade her: "Mommy, I'm in good health, I really don't need to take care of myself."
Aunt Yu: "Look at how thin you are. What's wrong with you? You still need to take more supplements."
Wen Yin had no choice but to bring out the imperial doctor: "The imperial doctors have said that it is not enough to supplement a deficiency. It will not be good if it is supplemented, so I just take one bite and it is just right."
Aunt Yu took it back hesitantly.
"Why don't I have someone make some warm porridge for you?"
