He waited for a long time without waiting for Song Qingyue to say anything more.

Of course Song Qingyue would not reward them, let alone this Eunuch Yang.

If you can't figure out who's the boss, you should start hammering!

Who made them new clothes, arranged for them to take turns, and gave them the opportunity to study?

He dared to please his concubine in front of her, which was really unkind.

Today is Li Qiushui, she doesn't mind.

What can happen later?

Whoever comes in again will have to please others in front of her?

Eunuch Yang stood aside and laughed with her until the end of the meal without waiting for a reward. The Crown Princess did not even look at her or say another compliment after finishing the meal.

But today, every dish is put with a lot of thought!

Back in the kitchen, when Eunuch Yang told everyone, they were all very disappointed. Only the two cooks who cooked Huaiyang cuisine had won the reward, and the matter was nothing to do with themselves.

They were specially invited to take care of the Crown Princess's rather bland taste. They didn't need to consider the others at all.

Eunuch Yang looked at Xiao Zao, the vegetable washing maid who had been doing well in the monthly exams in the literacy class, and asked: "Zao, do you think the Crown Princess is unhappy?"

Xiaozao looked at Eunuch Yang like a fool, "It's a shame that Eunuch knew that the Crown Princess was unhappy! You guys are trying to please Miss Li in front of the Crown Princess. It's so weird that the Crown Princess is happy! The Crown Princess gave away the dowry.

Everyone has heard about the two big warehouses, right? What does Miss Li have? Nothing! Even if she is favored, what can she reward you? It’s really hard to imagine. I want to please that person."

Eunuch Yang was startled and said in confusion: "But I see that the Crown Princess and Miss Li have a very good relationship. The day before yesterday, Mo Ping took Miss Li out for shopping."

"Then it's not your turn to please her! It's the Crown Prince's business to have a good relationship with Miss Li. If you want to show kindness, it's the Crown Princess's fault. What does it have to do with us? Don't forget who pays to support us.

"

Eunuch Yang was still hesitant. She had been working in the prince's palace since the prince's establishment, and she still felt that she should please whoever was favored.

Xiaozao said: "Eunuch, don't be confused. Ever since the Crown Princess got married, His Royal Highness has been taking care of everything. When has he ever taken care of the affairs in the backyard? Our Crown Princess's style of conduct is very different from that of ordinary ladies. She is even more different from the Princess.

It's completely different. If you want to continue your old ways, I'm afraid the position of East Road Kitchen Manager will soon be replaced."

One sentence frightened Eunuch Yang, and he muttered in a low voice: "Zao, you know why you didn't even remind me."

Xiaozao chuckled twice, "Father-in-law, will you just listen to me?"

Eunuch Yang looked a little confused, rubbed his nose and went out with his hands behind his back.

In the evening, Ah Qing, who was waiting at Wangyue Pavilion, came to the kitchen to prepare Li Qiushui's dinner.

Dinner has been prepared and placed in a four-layer square lacquer box.

She opened the lacquer box and checked it, and was surprised to find that tonight's meal suddenly became vegetarian.

"Why are you so plain tonight?" Ah Qing asked in surprise.

Xiao Zao lowered his head to wash the toon head. I heard that the Crown Princess likes to eat toon scrambled eggs. This is the last toon head of this year. If it is too late, it will be gone.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Ah Qing patted the door panel and said, "Is anyone there? Is the dish at Wangyue Pavilion tonight correct? Is it so vegetarian?"

Xiaozao raised his head and looked around, but no one was there.

Eunuch Yang was not here, and neither was anyone else. She was the only one left in the kitchen. Xiao Zao was really angry with the naughty people in the kitchen and lost her temper.

She responded, took her hand out of the sink, shook it twice, put it on her apron and wiped it front and back, stood up, and said with a confused look on her face: "Really? Let me take a look."

She walked around the stove, walked over, opened the lid of the lacquer box, and said very puzzledly: "This is not vegetarian, it's two meat and two vegetables. Look at this fried eggplant with sliced ​​meat, it's considered a vegetarian dish for you, according to Tongfang's standards

, there are already too many.”

Ah Qing was unconvinced: "But a few days ago..."

"A few days ago was a few days ago, and today is today." Xiao Zao interrupted her, "It's all in accordance with the rules."

"But our girl Li is from the northwest!" Ah Qing emphasized.

Xiaozao scratched his head and saw that there was still a pot of lotus seed soup hot on the stove, so he said, "How about I give you girls another bowl of lotus seed soup with sugar water?"

In this era when products are not abundant, especially in the north, not everyone can eat lotus seeds if they want, so they are considered a valuable commodity.

It's just that this year's new lotus seeds haven't grown yet. The current lotus seeds are all last year's old goods. The masters don't eat them, so they are cooked in the kitchen and given to a few respectable maids or stewards.

of.

Ah Qing pursed his lips, glanced at Xiao Zao's name tag with an unhappy expression, and said, "Your name is Xiao Zao, right?"

"Yes, my name is Xiao Zao." Xiao Zao laughed, "Haven't you heard of my name? I won several awards in the literacy class in the main courtyard." She raised her hand to rest on her head.

The beautiful gold and jade hairpin revealed the jade bracelet on her wrist. She turned her neck slightly, and the two glass earrings hanging on her earlobes swayed, shining with bright spots of light.

Ah Qing stared at Xiao Zao's bracelet, earrings and gold hairpin. He swallowed his saliva with envy and dissatisfaction, but did not dare to say anything more. He just lifted up the four-layer red lacquered box with gold and gold in displeasure and turned it over.

He rolled his eyes and walked out, muttering: "We'll see, we, Miss Li, are favored. I'll ask the Crown Prince to come and take care of you in the future!"

Xiao Zao frowned and thought, who is this person? It’s true that Aunt Bai is sending such a person to serve the person in Wangyue Pavilion. He might possibly piss off His Royal Highness someday.

It's true.

In Wangyue Pavilion, Li Qiushui saw the vegetable rice but didn't think it was anything special at all. The two meat dishes were fried chicken and mutton stewed with potatoes, and the two vegetarian dishes were fried eggplant with sliced ​​meat and cabbage with abalone sauce. It was obvious that the chef had made it carefully.

At least she ate better than when she was a dancer and when she was in General Xu's mansion.

There is also a bowl of sweet lotus seed soup!

She didn't understand why A Qing was unhappy.

"Eat quickly, this braised chicken is so delicious, try it quickly." Li Qiushui always ate with A Qing when he ate.

Originally, Tongfang was still a slave, and there was no difference in status from Aqing. Li Qiushui had been serving others since he was born. He had never been served by anyone, and he didn't know how to be someone else's master.

"What is this?" She picked up something that looked like a cow leaf.

"This is dried bamboo shoots." A Qing looked at Li Qiushui with some disdain, "Why, haven't you seen it?"

Li Qiushui shook his head, "I know about bamboo shoots, but we don't have bamboo there. I have never seen bamboo shoots."

"Then you are really ignorant." Ah Qing took a big mouthful of rice.
Chapter completed!
