Whether Su Yueling is entering or leaving the palace this time, she has attracted the attention of many forces in the capital.
Before she entered the palace, many people were waiting to see her laugh. As a result, they waited and waited, but what they were waiting for was that Su Yueling was kept in the palace to eat by the Queen Mother, and was rewarded with many belongings by the Queen Mother and the eldest princess.
The Queen Mother and the Eldest Princess gave so many gifts that they filled five boxes.
People who didn't know better thought they were giving dowries.
They racked their brains and couldn't figure out why the Queen Mother fell in love with Su Yueling, a village girl from a remote village, but none of their many famous ladies could fall in love with the Queen Mother.
Could it be that these two have different tastes?
Many aristocratic ladies were extremely unconvinced and decided that if they found a chance, they must see how Su Yueling was better than them.
They didn't believe that they would be compared to her.
And Su Yueling, whom they were thinking about, happily returned home with a large number of rewards.
Although the trip to the palace was quite tiring - the amount of exercise was equivalent to the amount of exercise she had done in the past week. But considering these things, she could reluctantly accept it. In addition, the Queen Mother and her grandmother were quite similar in temperament, so it was considered a blessing.
She was a little comforted.
After these chamberlains and maids sent Su Yueling back, they were about to leave when Su Yueling called out to her.
"Wait a minute, help me bring some pots of strawberries and tomatoes into the palace."
The tomatoes had already grown on her way to the capital, and they were all bright red and very festive.
Since the Spirit Spring Liquid was too expensive and they had to grow too much, they used a diluted version to water them. But even with the diluted version, the taste of the fruits grown was comparable to the top-quality fruits and vegetables she ate in her previous life.
Since you are going to give it to someone, you must choose the right one.
Su Yueling picked six pots of strawberries and six pots of tomatoes.
"Four pots of strawberries and four pots of tomatoes are given to the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and the other two pots of strawberries and two pots of tomatoes are given to Aunt Yinian, the eldest maid of Ciyuan Palace, and asked to be handed over to Empress Gu, as I had agreed with her before.
"
"If they feel good after eating it, I will give them some seeds." She exchanged seeds from the store several times, and there is no shortage of seeds now. The seeds sent over can be soaked in spiritual spring liquid first.
By the way, she wrote two tomato recipes, one is the most homely tomato scrambled eggs, and the other is tomato salad.
Several of the chamberlains looked at each other. This was the first time they had seen someone like Su Yueling, who received the reward and then gave it back to the Queen Mother and the others.
While they were waiting, Su Yueling also ordered someone to serve them a plate of freshly washed strawberries.
Her strawberries are picked directly when it is time to eat them. They are the freshest. When you put them in your mouth, they are sour, sweet, juicy, and full of fruity aroma. You will want to eat more after eating one, and you will not be able to stop at all.
After finishing one plate, they were still a little unsatisfied.
One of them couldn't help but sigh: "The county gentleman is really nice."
How can people with their status be qualified to eat such good things? Even if they send rewards to their doorsteps, others can at most give them away with money.
They also ate the buttered abalone sent from the kitchen, which was paired with scented tea. Needless to say, this thing was not available in the palace.
No wonder Geng was full of praise for the Su family's food after returning from Lushan Village.
After eating and drinking, they returned to the palace with happy smiles.
One of the second-class maids reported this to the Queen Mother in a clear voice. She was very eloquent and described the taste of strawberries so vividly that the Queen Mother, who had eaten countless good things, swallowed her saliva involuntarily.
The Queen Mother looked at the strawberries and tomatoes and immediately ordered: "Pick a plate of strawberries and bring them up."
"Pick some tomatoes too. I want to eat those tomatoes and scrambled eggs tonight."
As for the few plants given to Aunt Yinian, the Queen Mother knew as soon as she heard that they were prepared for the Queen, so she had them sent over quietly so as not to disturb other people in the palace.
She said to her daughter Rong Xiang: "This girl is really true. The Ai family is the Queen Mother. Shouldn't she give me more pots?"
As a result, she, Xiang'er, and the queen received the same ones. Especially as far as she knew, she didn't know the queen's true identity, and only thought she was an ordinary concubine in the palace.
That is to say, she is magnanimous, so regardless of her point of view, if she were petty, she would be punished with the crime of disrespect.
As a daughter, Rong Xiang knew that her mother's complaints were actually very satisfying. She curled her lips and said, "It shows that there is no difference in status in this child's heart. She just wants to share her good things with us.
It’s not to please us deliberately.”
The Queen Mother nodded, and she thought so in her heart. After the strawberries were washed and served, she quickly fell in love with this unprecedented fruit. Grapes, her original favorite, suddenly ranked second.
She decided to write a letter to Su Yueling in person, asking her to send more seeds! As courtesy, she could also choose the good things in her warehouse.
Although Rong Xiang also likes to eat, he doesn't love it as much as his mother. He simply left his two pots of strawberries to her mother. She turned over the recipe written by Su Yueling herself, with a faint smile in her eyes.
Unexpectedly, Su Yueling could actually write well. This handwriting has its own style, elegant and fresh, which makes people happy to see it.
***
The queen received half of the strawberries and tomatoes at a price cheaper than the emperor Rongji.
After Rong Ji spent some time with the Queen Mother, he was still thinking about it.
He couldn't help complaining to Queen Gu: "I'm not bad to her, so why does she only give it to you?"
What's his share!
Queen Gu couldn't help laughing and said: "If your Majesty likes it, I will give you these pots."
Rong Ji coughed and said, "The queen mother has already written to her, asking her to send more seeds. Then we can plant them ourselves!" He had no nerve to take all his wife's seeds.
“I didn’t expect there are such good things overseas.”
It seems that the ministers below can pay more attention to this issue in the future.
…
Suyi Bofu.
Among the people in the capital who pay most attention to Su Yueling at this time, Xia Zhiyao must be on the list.
When she heard that the Queen Mother's reward was so large that it could be packed in several large boxes, she felt as if she had been punched several times, and her face turned ugly.
Xia Zhiyao was puzzled. How could Su Yueling really fall in the Queen Mother's eyes? What did the Queen Mother like about her?
And not only the Queen Mother, but also the Company Commander Princess was very kind to her.
In the past, she was very proud of the rewards from the Queen Mother. Compared with what Su Yueling received, her silks, satins and jade were like sending away beggars.
What suffocates her the most is that her flower viewing party is tomorrow, and she only knows how many people are laughing at her, laughing at her that as the future grandson-in-law of the Queen Mother, she is not as favored as Su Yueling.
But for the sake of his own reputation, Xia Zhiyao couldn't get angry even if he wanted to. He just held this breath in his chest, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
At this time, her maid rushed in, "Miss! Grandma Shi who is in front of the Queen Mother is here."
Xia Zhiyao, who was originally livid, fell into thinking after hearing this.
Could it be that the Queen Mother realized that what she had done earlier was inappropriate, so she sent Nanny Shi to comfort her?
In that case, she must show her generosity well.
She calmed down her mood, put on a perfect smile on her delicate face, and quickly went out to greet Grandma Shi.
She found that there was a palace maid in Tsing Yi accompanying Nanny Shi.
"Mammy, what are your orders from the Queen Mother?"
Grandma Shi pointed at Fangruo beside her, "This is Fangruo. She is crazy about Master Bo. I just gave it to the young lady to teach her, so that she can serve the two masters in the future."
The smile on Xia Zhiyao's face froze, and her fingertips became cold.
