Zhu Yaer put the exquisite snacks in the food box with a somewhat natural and naive expression. She made two kinds of snacks today, one was a rose cake and the other was an osmanthus cake.
"These roses are used to make flower cakes. They are more delicious than expected, and they do not lose the color of sophora flower cakes. Unfortunately, it is not the season for roses to bloom, so I can only make them with dried roses, but the taste is still not as good as fresh flowers.
The Queen Empress has had a bad appetite these days. I heard that only the rose braised food made by Sun Yuchu can last her a few bites. I think the Queen Queen can also eat this rose cake." The Sun Yuchu in her mouth was Sun Xiao.
Yu, this is the female royal cook appointed by the Queen Mother to be brought into the palace. With the title of filial piety to the Queen Mother, even the royal censor does not dare to babble and can only comfort himself - although it is not etiquette, she is only the royal cook.
It's not like he just turned a blind eye by asking Sun Xiaoyu to become an official in court.
"Master, you have already chosen a waiter, why bother cooking all day long?" said her maid. This maid was assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but because she had no backing, she was always sent to the side hall as a palace servant.
She finally managed to become the eldest maid next to the concubine, so she naturally tried her best to show her loyalty. In her view, Zhu Yaer was from a humble background. Although she could not become the queen of the throne, she could still get two or three days of bedtime service every month.
She can be regarded as a favored concubine. Especially after she entered the palace three months ago, she was canonized as a selected attendant. As long as she slowly completes her qualifications, she can still be a beauty in the future. If she can get pregnant with a child, that will be even better.
Can soar into the sky.
Zhu Yaer said: "I was able to be promoted so quickly because of the good things my queen said about me in front of Your Majesty. I am not a famous figure. The queen likes my craftsmanship. That is my blessing. I can only cook for her.
I feel honored.”
If possible, she would most like to give it to her husband. But in order to prevent the people in the palace from counting her as a member of his faction, it would hinder his plan. After Xie Yunzi entered the palace, Zhu Yaer, in addition to the initial
After the visit, she has been acting lukewarm. However, she has done a lot to help her husband in private. Her husband is such a famous person, how can she do the dirty work herself?
She bribed the palace officials to alert Duan Gui about the pot of flowers that poisoned the eldest princess. Duan Gui then used the scent of the narcissus to mix it with the incense purse that the eldest princess usually wore to form a very rare poison.
Although I feel sorry for the eldest princess by doing this, the poison will only make the eldest princess weak for a few years at most. The eldest princess has no shortage of precious tonics, and her body will be restored sooner or later.
Moreover, if the husband takes this opportunity to give the eldest princess the Xie family's nursing prescription, he can also gain a favor.
Everything she did was for her husband. Only when her husband ascends to a high position can the situation of their women be changed. This is the real mother who respects the world. A moderate person like Queen Gu occupies that position and has no influence on women.
Half a benefit.
Zhu Ya'er thought of her husband who taught her, and her eyes flashed with admiration and admiration. She felt that today's society was very ignorant, and she only used the status of a concubine to send her husband away.
She suppressed those messy thoughts, picked up the food box, and headed to the Queen's Palace.
When she arrived, she also saw Xie Yunzi.
After the incident came to light, Xie Yunzi's grounding was lifted. Because she had suffered a terrible disaster this time, although the emperor did not restore her position, the original title Hui returned, and now she became
Hui concubine.
Xie Yunzi said: "I heard that the princess has a lot of health problems due to poisoning. Here are some prescriptions I have collected for recuperating her health. I hope they can come in handy."
Queen Gu looked gentle and said, "You are interested. Is this a prescription passed down by the Xie family?"
Xie Yunzi lowered her eyelids, "I wanted to make these prescriptions public before, but they were unwilling. Considering that some of the medicinal materials above are quite rare, I am afraid that ordinary people cannot afford such prescriptions, so I gave up.
Got this idea.”
She pointed at a mahogany box, "This prescription requires ginseng that is more than a hundred years old. The older the ginseng is, the better. This is the ginseng I brought into the palace. The princess may use it. This wild ginseng is more than three hundred years old.
The medicine is very powerful.”
Three hundred years of wild ginseng?
Queen Gu's expression couldn't help but twitch. Ginseng that was over a hundred years old was already very rare. The palace might not be able to get even one plant a year, let alone ginseng that was three hundred years old. Queen Gu had never seen it. She couldn't help but sigh.
Xie Yunzi deserves to be from a noble family, but this kind of background is not something ordinary people can have.
"You are serious. This kind of ginseng is used to kill people."
Xie Yunzi was actually willing to take it out.
Xie Yunzi said: "After I entered the palace, thanks to the eldest princess, she lent me several unique books to read. I am very grateful to the eldest princess and I am very happy to be able to help her."
Queen Gu said: "Send this ginseng to the eldest princess."
Queen Gu knew in her heart that the poison in the eldest princess's body had been detoxified, and all she needed to do was take good care of her. This ginseng might really come in handy. Although she could also guess that Xie Yunzi wanted to sell the eldest princess's favor.
, but as long as this matter can really help the eldest princess, there is no harm.
Xie Yunzi chatted with her, and Zhu Ya'er was teasing beside her, so the palace was full of fun.
It's just that this ginseng was sent over, but it was sent back intact not long after.
A look of surprise flashed across Queen Gu's face.
It was Grandma Zheng who personally sent the ginseng back.
Su Yueling often went to the palace these days, and Aunt Zheng also followed her.
After Mammy Zheng bowed to them, she said neither humble nor overbearing: "The eldest princess is very touched by Hui Bin's kindness, but this ginseng is your favorite thing. She has no need of ginseng now, and it is not easy to take away people's favor. The eldest princess is heartbroken.
Thank you Hui Bin for thinking of her wholeheartedly."
Xie Yunzi said: "Have the eldest princess already had ginseng for more than a hundred years?" Even if it is a century-old ginseng, it cannot compare to her three hundred years. Does the eldest princess not even care about her own body?
Aunt Zheng said: "It's a coincidence that a few months ago, Zhuangzi's servants found two 500-year-old wild ginseng plants and paid tribute to them. As soon as the princess heard that the eldest princess needed ginseng, she had already asked someone to come back.
The government went to get it."
The princess she was talking about was naturally Su Yueling. Although Granny Zheng didn't remember anyone paying homage to ginseng of such a high age, since the princess said there was, then there must be.
Xie Yunzi, who was sending favors but failed, changed her expression - 500-year-old wild ginseng? Real or fake?
In comparison, her wild ginseng becomes irrelevant.
