After hearing her words, the Queen Mother's face was indeed not so pretty.
He Yunxi exclaimed, drawing the attention of the queen mother and concubine to her.
"That's it!" He Yunxi said in a long voice.
The concubine saw her pretending to be weird: "What else?"
"Grandma, is the non-spicy copper hot pot you asked me to prepare in the morning for the Queen Mother?" He Yunxi asked, "I said you don't like to eat light food, so why did you ask me to prepare the copper hot pot? So that's it!
"
The concubine didn't expect He Yunxi to undermine her, so she was stunned and did not stop He Yunxi from saying the next words.
The Queen Mother's expression suddenly turned from cloudy to gloomy, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised: "Since everything is ready, let the Ai family have dinner here."
The concubine did not expect that her little thoughts would be betrayed by He Yunxi. She was about to get angry when He Yunxi held her arm: "Grandma, let me tell you, the hot pot at noon today is different from the hot pot before."
The concubine's attention was suddenly diverted: "What's different?"
"Someone sent a cow today." He Yunxi said, "I've taken care of the hairy belly. That thing is a treasure for hot pot. There is also beef, which is also very delicious. And your favorite food.
I also asked someone to prepare a portion of duck intestines."
"Really?" The concubine heard He Yunxi say that she wanted to eat beef, so she had someone prepare it before entering Beijing, and she had it delivered today.
Nowadays, cattle are laborers and cannot be killed at will. Even if there is illness or accidental death, they must be reported before they can be killed and eaten. However, if there are many such cattle, others will have finished dividing them early, and they will not have their turn.
People outside.
So after more than a year in this world, He Yunxi has not eaten beef once.
This is the first time since she came here that she has touched beef and eaten tripe.
"I have braised the beef and made it spicy with five spices. We can also have some beef for afternoon tea in the afternoon." He Yunxi said, "Grandma, let me tell you, the braised beef..."
She talked all the way to the restaurant, where Fufeng and the others had already cooked the hot pot.
"The Queen Mother, I didn't know you were coming before, so I didn't bring the copper hot pot with me. I have to ask you to wait for a while." He Yunxi said to the Queen Mother.
"Just call me grandma the same way you call her," the Queen Mother said.
She had heard from the emperor what He Yunxi had done, and she also saved Pei Yuan and relieved the cold poison in his body. She also liked such a junior very much.
Another thing is... when she calls her the concubine, she always calls her grandmother, and she calls herself the queen mother. How can that be okay?
He Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "Grandma."
"Grandma, what kind of grandma? If you call me grandma, you can't call her grandma. Otherwise, when the two of us are here and you call me, who will answer?" said the concubine.
"That's right." The Queen Mother nodded, "Just call me grandma and her dowager."
"Why? If you want to call me, you should call me grandma! Yunxi always calls me grandma!" the concubine snorted.
"The Ai family is the main palace." The queen mother said lightly, which made the concubine's words stick in her throat.
Regardless of whether it is a royal family or an outside family, only the head of the family can be called grandmother. Grandmother is an honorific title and a symbol of status.
If you were from a normal family, you should indeed call the Queen Mother your grandmother.
The concubine was very angry, but the empress dowager was the head of the palace. She used this to block the empress dowager in Cining Palace and went to live in Jingshou Palace. Now that the empress dowager said this, she had no way to refute.
He Yunxi saw that the queen mother and the concubine seemed to be quarreling now and then. In the eyes of others, they did seem to have a bad relationship and they would argue about everything. In fact, this was the fun between the two of them.
But the two of them were really angry when they were angry, and the palace maids and eunuchs around them didn't dare to speak.
"How about this, the minister calls the queen mother grandma and the concubine grandma?" He Yunxi said with a smile.
"grandmother?"
"Yes, grandma is just like grandma, but not as formal. In many places, everyone calls her grandma," He Yunxi said.
"real?"
"This slave has also heard that generally the elders will call grandma if they have a good relationship with the juniors." Aunt Qin said from behind the concubine.
The concubine was happy when she heard this and said, "That's it. You call her grandma and I call her grandma."
It looked like she had taken advantage of her.
The Queen Mother was speechless at the Dowager's expression. However, Zhuang Ruoxi was used to this. Every time she won a little, she would feel complacent. She was still so stupid after all these years.
After a while, the copper hotpot came, and by this time the hotpot was already simmering.
The Queen Mother and others were a little surprised when they saw a pillar dozens of centimeters high emerging from the middle.
"The middle is hollow, and food is placed in the pot on the outside, with charcoal underneath." He Yunxi explained.
What she prepared was a classic combination that she had eaten before. The Queen Mother was a little surprised when she tasted ham for the first time.
"Tsk, I've never seen ham. Queen Mother, it's not me. Let's walk around while we still have some time to talk." The concubine's words were a bit unflattering, but the queen mother ignored her and was minding her own business.
Eat the ham.
Why didn't she know that Zhuang Ruoxi was right? But she was the Queen Mother, so how could she be as free and undisciplined as she was?
Huh, she wants freedom, but she refuses to give it to her. He has to tie her to his side no matter what, and torture her together, just to be worthy of their lifelong friendship.
The Queen Mother is more disciplined, which can be seen from the way the people around her serve her. The Dowager Queen is more casual, but she still subconsciously pays attention to some things in front of the Queen Mother.
After the meal, the queen mother took the concubine back to the room and had a conversation before coming out.
He Yunxi had been waiting in the courtyard. When he saw the Queen Mother coming out alone, he knew that the Queen Mother would stay here again.
She sent the concubine out, walking politely one step behind her on the road.
"That guy Pei Yuan went out to suppress bandits. Let's see if he can come back before the end of the year." The Queen Mother said to He Yunxi.
"I originally wanted to visit Master tomorrow. Thank you grandma for telling me this, so my granddaughter doesn't have to make the trip in vain." He Yunxi said with a smile.
After the Queen Mother asked her to call her grandmother, she stopped calling her "Court Girl" because it felt awkward.
The Queen Mother, a person who values rules, did not refute this point.
"Chang'an, the Ai family has heard from the emperor what you did before. You did a good job, saving the people and earning fame and face for the royal family." The Queen Mother praised.
"My status and status were bestowed upon me by the emperor, and I feel honored to be able to do something for the people." He Yunxi responded.
The Queen Mother gave He Yunxi a kind look, nodded, said "You're fine" and left.
He Yunxi sent the Queen Mother away and breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, although the Queen Mother was kinder to her, she still felt that being with the Queen Mother was tiring.
You have to pay attention to every word and action, aren't you tired?
She thought she was tired today, so she was pulled out again before dinner, and then met her adoptive father in this world, the current emperor - Emperor Wen of Jin.
