Concubine Yun Gui summoned Chen Xi just to meet her future daughter-in-law before her son got married. After seeing what she looked like, she gave her some instructions. Concubine Yun Gui also kept Chen Xi to eat with her.
From now on, they will be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Although she will not live with her daughter-in-law after her son gets married, her daughter-in-law will come to the palace from time to time to pay her respects. She still wants to observe whether this daughter-in-law suits her temper.
Concubine Yun didn't think there was anything wrong with her attitude. After entering the palace from a prominent family, she was treated as a concubine at first, and later she was granted the title of concubine, so she didn't feel there was anything wrong with her attitude towards Chen Yun.
Chen Xun didn't feel that Concubine Yun was too resentful towards her. She was relatively heartless and not so glass-hearted. Perhaps it was because she had been in the system for so long that she was relatively insensitive to some human emotions.
The happiest thing after entering the palace today is having a meal with Concubine Yun. The meals prepared by the imperial chef in the imperial dining room are very delicious.
Chen Xun had eaten mutton once since she returned to the Hou Mansion. Last time she only ate mutton in a water basin at Zhenxi Pavilion. She didn't expect that she would be able to eat meat when she went to the palace to meet her future mother-in-law.
Concubine Yun Guifei's lunch today included a platter of roasted lamb, chicken, rabbit, and venison, as well as a bamboo shoot duck soup, pine mushroom chicken soup, etc., which Chen Xin liked very much.
The meat is grilled at just the right temperature, and even though there are few seasonings, the chef's seasoning is very appropriate and it tastes delicious.
Seeing so much roasted meat, duck soup with bamboo fungus, and chicken soup with pine mushrooms, Chen Xun didn't care about Concubine Yun's unkind attitude towards her just now.
"Your Majesty, are there any more?" Chen Xun finished eating the roasted meat and drank two soups. Still feeling not full, she asked Concubine Yun with a smile.
She didn’t have a big appetite, but she was still so greedy by Chen Xun’s eating style that after she was nine-tenths of full, Concubine Yun watched her future daughter-in-law eat up all the dishes; “…”
Although she was not satisfied with this daughter-in-law, Concubine Yun did not want her to be full after entering the palace for the first time, so she ordered people to serve more dishes so that her daughter-in-law could eat enough.
So Concubine Yun Gui saw that Chen Yun was moving quickly and eating a lot of food, which was not elegant but not ugly. She was a little worried about whether her son's palace could afford to support such a princess.
After finishing the last mouthful of soup, Chen Xun sighed with satisfaction, "I'm finally full."
Concubine Yun Guifei looked at her, and then at the table where there were still many dishes even though a batch of dishes had been replaced, "Do you have such a big appetite?"
Chen Xun smiled sheepishly and said, "Yes, the appetite is a bit big. I'm afraid that the Hou Mansion will be starved."
You must know that she has been back to the Marquis Mansion for so long, and she actually eats six to seven points of fullness at every meal. Basically, she will ask the kitchen to make some snacks or soup for her to replenish her body. But in fact, she eats every meal.
I wasn’t even full during the meal, I was basically still full.
Of course, when she is really hungry, she will go into the space to get the food inside to satisfy her hunger. She usually won't let herself get really hungry.
At the Hou Mansion, she just didn't want to expose her big appetite because she had just returned, but Chen Xun had not been able to control it in the past few days, making herself almost eight-point full at every meal.
In fact, she came to the palace today with the mentality of being a big eater. Concubine Yun Gui's attitude towards her was not very good, so she started eating. Anyway, Concubine Yun Gui's attitude did no harm to her, and she could have a full meal.
She is not at a loss.
Concubine Yun's hand holding the tea cup was shaking: "..."
Chen Yun had a sumptuous lunch at Baifu Palace. Concubine Yun didn't want to see her face anymore, so she asked Aunt Yun and Aunt Song to take her back.
"She... eats so much, can Zhou'er afford it?" Concubine Yun Gui said worriedly.
"Why do you need to worry, Your Majesty? Your Highness, Prince Ning, is brave and good at fighting and has outstanding abilities. Are you still worried that you won't be able to raise a well-fed princess?" Nanny Lin comforted her master with a smile.
"Miss Chen San can eat so well, so she must be in good health." Nanny Lin said, "I only hope that Miss Chen San, with such a healthy body, can help His Highness Prince Ning as soon as possible after marrying into the palace."
Concubine Yun thought about it and felt that what Mother Lin said made sense. If her daughter-in-law could eat, it meant that she was in good health. If she was in good health, she could give birth to healthy children for her son.
Chen Xing didn't care what Concubine Yun was thinking. After eating, drinking and resting for a while, she followed the palace attendants from Baifu Palace out of the palace.
There is no need to pass through the previous dynasty when leaving the harem, nor the Tai Chi Palace and the Li Zheng Palace where the emperor lived. The entrance for female relatives to enter the palace is not the same as the entrance for courtiers to enter the palace to attend court.
Chen Xun, who slowly walked out of Baifu Palace, met others again. It was the eldest son of Prince Sui'an who she met at the gate of Nishang Pavilion last time, and the five-year-old baby adopted by their family.
"Brother Ling Feng, the palace is really beautiful."
"Brother Ling Feng, the Queen is so beautiful."
"Brother Ling Feng, I like the Queen, but I don't like Concubine Zhou..."
"Brother Ling Feng..."
Chen Xun looked at the little baby who was held in the arms of a tall man not far away. The five-year-old girl was actually not very young, at least compared to the two or three-year-old baby, although she was still a little chubby.
Du, chubby, but it still made Chen Xun feel that the other party was not a simple little girl.
"Lian Lian, you are right, my mother is doing well. That Zhou Guifei, she is a bad guy!" Another little girl who was following Yan Lingfeng also agreed with the little baby.
"Let me tell you, Lianlian, those concubines are really hateful. Every time they come to pay respects to my mother, they always act yin and yang. It's so bad."
"And more..." The little girl chatted very happily with the little baby, and she spoke very smoothly when she praised the queen and belittled the other concubines.
But Chen Yun, who was standing not far away, was a little embarrassed, because these two people were in the palace, complaining about the concubines of Emperor Yunzhao's harem in broad daylight. It can be said that all the concubines except Empress Mu were complained about.
That little girl in her early ten years should be the daughter of Empress Mu, but how dare she, a little baby from the Sui'an Palace, complain about the concubines in the palace? Isn't she afraid of angering the concubines and being punished?
Don't think that she can be spared just because she is a five-year-old baby.
"Yan Jia! Ai Lianlian! You are disgusting!"
Just when Chen Yun was complaining in her heart, another pretty girl who was not much older than the girl named "Yan Jia" ran over and cursed.
"Yan Jia! What do you mean? How did my mother-in-law offend you?" the little girl asked angrily, not forgetting to glare at the little Lianlian baby, "Ai Lianlian, you are just the adopted daughter of the Sui'an Palace.
, how dare you criticize the concubine?"
"Come here, open your mouth!" Yan Ying pointed at the little Lianlian doll and said, "Who do you think you are? An adopted daughter of a county prince's palace dares to criticize the concubine in the palace. Who gave you the courage? Sui'an Prince's Palace gave you
Of?"
"What? The people in Sui'an Palace are so arrogant, are they planning to rebel?" Yan Ying looked at Yan Lingfeng with sharp eyes.
Even though she is only a twelve-year-old girl, she is a princess after all, and her biological mother is still a favored princess. How could she be afraid of Yan Lingfeng, the eldest son of the county prince's palace who is several years older than her?
