"Your Majesty, have you arranged accommodation for them? Where do they live?" The Queen Mother asked at this moment. The meaning was obvious. She liked A Bao very much, so she naturally hoped that A Bao could live closer to her. This would be good too.
Visit every day.
"The Jingyang Palace in the east courtyard was originally the prince's palace. It has been vacant for many years. It was cleaned out a few days ago, just in time for them to move in!" Li Li said immediately.
When the Queen Mother heard that it was Jingyang Palace where Li Yu once lived, she immediately said: "That palace is where Yu'er lived. How could Huang'er live there? According to the Aijia, let's live in the Qiankun Palace in front.
, Huang'er had lived in it before, it was his palace, and he was familiar with it. Besides, it was not far from the Ai family. The Ai family would often invite a few concubines to sit in the palace and teach them a lesson.
Qing has just entered the palace, and the rules are still very unfamiliar. Plus, she is pregnant, so there are some things you need to pay more attention to!"
When the Queen Mother said this, Chu Yiqing felt a headache. She didn't like to be restrained. If it weren't for Li Huang and Abao, she wouldn't have entered the palace. She also heard that the Queen Mother was bringing several concubines with her.
Teach her the rules and it will immediately disappear from her mind
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "It's fortunate that you can think of this way to control the emperor and make him agree to live outside the palace. Otherwise, I really can't imagine the life in the palace! Look at the first day of entering the palace today.
, even if those people are hostile to me and Abao, they don’t know how to cover it up, I’m afraid it will be even more troublesome in the future!”
Li Huang said: "Over the years since we left, there have been great changes in the palace. Some people are also eyeing those seats. When we come back, we will naturally infringe on the interests of some people, especially since you are pregnant now and cannot follow us.
Those people are angry, if we live outside the palace, there will be a lot less trouble!"
Chu Yiqing smiled coldly and said: "Don't worry, I know my own body well, but I seem to smell the smell of blood again. After so many years in Chu Han, I am no longer familiar with this smell!"
Li Huang also said: "Yes, as soon as I entered the palace, I didn't know why, but my spirit became tense, and the string naturally tightened! Our Chu Han's home is more comfortable!"
Chu Yiqing leaned against Li Huang and held his hand tightly, "Let's go back when everything is settled!"
Li Huang nodded.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of Prince Huang's Mansion, the butler led everyone to rush up. After saluting, he quickly unloaded the things on the carriage and sent it into the Prince's Mansion.
In the hall, the housekeeper led all the servants in the palace to kneel on the ground and respectfully saluted Chu Yiqing, "See Your Highness the Crown Princess!"
She was not the crown prince's concubine, but the crown prince's concubine. Chu Yiqing glanced at Li Huang, and Li Huang smiled and said, "From now on, just call me madam!"
Everyone hurriedly responded. Several maids and mothers-in-law who had served Chu Yiqing before looked at Chu Yiqing with even more affectionate eyes.
Chu Yiqing nodded, and Yingqian stepped forward behind him, giving each person a red envelope. When everyone took it with both hands, they weighed the red envelope with a satisfied smile on their faces.
"Sir, madam, you must be tired from the journey. The room has been tidied up. Let me and my wife go and have a rest first. I will watch over the placement of the servants, so you can rest assured!" The old housekeeper smiled.
He said kindly.
Li Huang was really worried about Chu Yiqing's health, especially in the past few days, Chu Yiqing was so happy that he was lazy and unwilling to move. He immediately accompanied Chu Yiqing back to the room and handed over everything to the old housekeeper.
.
Everyone in Prince Huang's Mansion knew that their prince valued this lady, so they naturally did not dare to neglect the people brought by Chu Yiqing. Zhao Maixiang's identity was a relative of Chu Yiqing, not a servant, so he was arranged on the second floor. Entering the yard, next to A Bao, Yingqian and Yingrun are Chu Yiqing's personal maids. They try to arrange them in the best and largest wing in the backyard. Even Dangui and the little maid serving A Bao are alone. room.
At this time, in the kitchen of the palace, the cook Qian Shi was talking to the wife Guo Ma who was in charge of the kitchen. When she saw Dad Yu coming in, Mrs. Yu said: "Dad Yu, you were right. That A Bao The young master is the son of our prince. No wonder people say that an old man in a family is like a treasure. Although you are old, Dad, your eyes are even more vicious!"
Guo Ma is also an old man in the house, and she said happily now: "Now that we finally see our prince getting married and starting a family, we can finally be proud and proud!"
As soon as Guo Ma said this, Qian immediately shouted: "Oh, I remember, that Wang Erbao from the Prince's Palace robbed me of a piece of pork last time. When I meet him this time, I must come back." , let’s see if he still dares to show off his power in front of us in the future. The unregenerate love will be made gl!”
Guo Ma waved her hands and said: "Forget it, forget about the past, our prince has just come back, we can't cause trouble to him, as long as the people from Prince Jue's Mansion and Prince Qian's Mansion no longer cause trouble for us, forget it!"
Father Yu said with a smile: "Our prince is now the crown prince. Those people looked down upon others. When our prince left the capital, they thought that our prince would never come back. Let's see what they say!"
Qian nodded and said: "That's right, although we can't fight like those in Prince Jue's Palace and Prince Qian's Palace, we can't let them bully us anymore. I heard that our princess is not someone easy to manipulate, and she can follow our prince into battle. Those who kill the enemy, we servants also need to earn some energy, we can't let others manipulate it casually!" [
When Qian said this, not only Guo Ma and Yu Lao, but also the little maids helping in the kitchen suddenly felt their backs straighten up, and their faces were full of joy.
At this moment, the Wanfu Palace was also filled with joy and peace. The Queen Mother and the Emperor were all coaxing Ah Bao to talk. Ah Bao was a brat and could often make the Queen Mother and the Emperor laugh from ear to ear, while the concubines on the side looked on. They are envious and jealous.
"You're jealous, you're not feeling up to expectations!" A woman with purple clothes and high eyebrows suddenly said softly, her eyes staring at Liu Jun and the woman with big white eyes.
The woman in purple dress was the most favored woman by the emperor. Although she was just a constant presence, not even a concubine, but relying on the emperor's favor, she became more and more unruly. In addition, Liu Jun and the woman were both juniors, so naturally there was no rule. If Liu Jun dared to talk back, Liu Jun lowered his head and secretly cursed something, but the big-eyed fair-skinned woman just lowered her head and said nothing, twisting the handkerchief tightly.
After a while, someone outside the palace sent a message saying that a cake had been delivered. When A Bao heard it, he immediately said happily: "Grandma, my mother made this cake by herself. It is delicious. I specially left it for grandma. You must have it." Try it!”
The Queen Mother was so happy that she nodded quickly and said: "Okay, okay, for the sake of the weird grandson, I will try it no matter what!"
Abao nodded and asked someone to bring the cake in.
The cake is eight inches in size and is placed on a round white porcelain tray. The white cream is topped with juicy fruit pieces, which makes you very appetizing.
There are many pastries in the palace, but no one has seen such a big pastry. They all opened their eyes in curiosity, especially when the cake was served, the sweet smell of grandma wafted in the air. It was from the palace.
Such snacks have never been seen before, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but sniff and said with a smile: "It smells very fragrant, but it's so big, how can you eat it?"
Abao clapped his little hands, and Sun Leisheng brought up many exquisite white porcelain plates. Finally, he took out a pair of bamboo knives and placed them respectfully on the table.
"Grandma, would you like to cut the cake with Ah Bao? My mother said that making a wish while cutting the cake is very effective. Just like Ah Bao, the last time he ate cake, Ah Bao made a wish to see Grandma. It's true.
I have seen it!" A Bao smiled sweetly, revealing the two deep dimples on his face, and his mouth felt like it was smeared with honey. He knew clearly that he was flattering him, but he
The Queen Mother was still happy after hearing this, so she got down from the couch and asked Abao in a low voice how to make a wish and how to cut the cake, with a very serious expression.
As soon as everyone saw that A Bao had arrived, he coaxed the Queen Mother into a circle. The faces of the few people who could not hold back their anger became wonderful, with jealousy and resentment all expressed.
Li is also very fond of it now. As soon as Bao came, he worked hard to please the Queen Mother. He didn't even call him "grandpa". Seeing Bao working so hard to please the Queen Mother, Li felt jealous and envious in his heart, and couldn't bear it.
Zhu came up and said: "Abao, Grandpa Huang also wants to eat cake!"
Abao smiled at Li and immediately turned to the Queen Mother and said, "Grandma, let's feed it to the Emperor first. The Emperor's grandfather is waiting!"
Li finally expected A Bao to call him grandpa, but it was the emperor's grandpa. He immediately felt a little uncomfortable. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw A Bao walking in front of him carefully carrying a large piece of cake.
He spoke and just blinked and handed it over.
Looking at Ah Bao's big eyes and remembering Ah Bao crying in front of his bed, Li couldn't help but feel soft again, so he reached out to touch Ah Bao's head and took the cake Yun Zhongfeng.
Ah Bao narrowed his eyes and went back to bring the cake to everyone. The Queen Mother also took this opportunity to introduce everyone to Ah Bao. Among them were five concubines, seven concubines, and two princes and concubines. Ah Bao was all smiling.
He called out to others and divided the cake, which was very pleasing to the eye, so that no one could find any fault at once.
Li raised his eyes and looked at a group of women enjoying themselves. Although some of the smiles on their faces were real and fake, at least, the palace had not been so lively and harmonious for a long time. He slowly tasted the cake and felt happy in his heart.
Sweet, the smile becomes more and more kind.
The closest concubine to the Queen Mother was a concubine in her forties with a slightly arrogant face. After eating the cake, she did not smile like other concubines, but looked at A Bao more carefully.
, finally landed on the woman with big white eyes, and snorted coldly.
Although they were far apart, the woman with big white eyes seemed to feel the anger of the concubine and quickly shrank her body even smaller without daring to move the cake in her hand.
In the evening, the emperor sent someone to invite him, saying that he had arranged a palace banquet for Li Huang and Chu Yiqing, even if it was to bring the two of them together. Although Chu Yiqing didn't want to go, this was a banquet specially set for them.
Naturally, I couldn't take it off, so I simply dressed up and attended with Li Huang.
At the banquet, there was naturally intrigue again. Fortunately, the emperor is now old and does not have many favorite concubines. The rest are old people in their thirties and forties who have been in the palace for many years. They also know that peace is the most valuable, so a meal in the palace
The banquet went smoothly, but Po was very happy. Now he was deeply loved by the Queen Mother. Even the food was served to him by the Queen Mother herself, which attracted many people's attention.
Chu Yiqing sat next to Li Huang and watched coldly, knowing that A Bao wanted to please the Queen Mother so that he could gain a firm foothold in the palace, but he was just afraid that in this way, A Bao would become the target of public criticism and attract people to be unfavorable to him.
Li Huang sensed her thoughts, took a chopstick of fish meat and put it in her bowl and whispered: "Even though A Bao has great wisdom, he is just a child. Don't worry, you and I will protect him and everything will be safe!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and was about to eat the fish, but she felt someone was looking at her. She raised her eyes and followed the light, and she turned out to be a familiar concubine. Judging from her clothes and uniform, she must be a concubine.
, sitting next to the Queen Mother, when she saw her looking over, she smiled and nodded to Chu Yiqing.
"That is Concubine Wu, the sixth brother's mother-in-law, and the biological sister of Wu Bohou. Among the concubines sitting here, she is the most senior one. It is a pity that the sixth brother cannot see with his eyes. Otherwise, with Wu Tai
With the identity of the concubine and the intelligence of the sixth brother, how can Li Yu be their opponent!" Li Huang said in a low voice.
When he mentioned the sixth prince Li Gan, Chu Yiqing immediately thought of the woman with big white eyes. Sure enough, Li Huang whispered again: "The person sitting next to Liu Jun is the sixth brother's concubine!"
Chu Yiqing raised his eyes and saw that Princess Gan was looking at her secretly. When she saw Chu Yiqing looking over, Princess Gan quickly lowered her head and could only see the pearl flowers on her head.
It seemed that the dry princess was still timid and fearful! Chu Yiqing slightly curled her lips, hoping that the dinner party would end soon, when she heard a voice. She looked along the sound, and she didn't expect it to be the concubine Wu.
"I've heard before that Miss Chu's cooking skills are good. Some of my mother's favorite side dishes are taught by Miss Chu's recipe. I don't know when we can try Miss Chu's cooking skills!" Concubine Wu took a sip.
He smiled and looked at Chu Yiqing.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "We haven't finished the meal yet, and you are already thinking about Yiqing's meal. Could it be that the royal chef in the palace is not good?" She sounded like she was blaming her, but there was a smile in the corner of her eyes, which was obviously in her heart.
I really like Concubine Wu's fun.
"The Queen Mother must have thought about it too. They always say that the same dishes are made the same way, but the ones cooked in this palace are just not as delicious as those made by Yiqing!" The concubine Wu also joined the Queen Mother affectionately and shouted to Yiqing.
name.
At this moment, Mei Changzai, who was dressed in purple clothes, also smiled and said: "Yes, the emperor came back from Chuhan last time and mentioned it to me several times. He always wanted to have a chance to taste it. Concubine Huang is here now.
Capital City, if you have the opportunity, you can go to the palace and show off your skills, so that we can have a good time and not let the emperor covet us all day long!"
Among the concubines sitting there, only Mei Changzai was the only one who could see the emperor on weekdays. When she said this, the expressions on everyone's faces were very wonderful, but they all also made expressions secretly, with very strange expressions.
disdain to surrender.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why don't you just show off that you can see the Emperor? Little hoof, one day you will be old and yellow!" Sitting next to Concubine Wu was a woman in a blue halo robe with an ancient smoke pattern and a delicate gauze skirt with plum blossoms in a thousand colors. The beautiful concubine whispered, and after speaking, she cast a meaningful glance at Concubine Wu next to her. Unfortunately, Concubine Wu was still smiling like that, and she couldn't see any anger at all, so she also lived in anguish. Mouth.
Chu Yiqing saw these concubines fighting overtly and covertly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the Queen Mother say again: "There will be many opportunities in the future. Today, the emperor specially wanted to give Huang'er and Yiqing, as well as the Aijia My dear grandson Sun Xichen, these dishes are reserved for the imperial kitchen. If everyone doesn’t like it, the emperor should punish the imperial kitchen!"
The Queen Mother said this, which relieved Chu Yiqing's crisis. The concubines quickly said that was not what they meant, and the topic was not mentioned again.
Abao had almost eaten by now. He looked around and couldn't help but ask: "Grandma, why am I the only child? Are there no other children in the palace to play with?"
As soon as Abao said this, Concubine Wu turned her eyes to Concubine Qian intuitively. Her expression, which had always been calm and composed, was also vaguely dissatisfied.
"When A Bao mentioned it, the Ai family remembered, Yun Luo, how is Yan'er now? Is she feeling better?" The Queen Mother looked at Princess Qian Qi Yun Luo and said.
Princess Qian, the woman with big white eyes, stood up in a hurry. Because of her panic, she almost knocked over the cup in front of her. Her panic made Na Mei Changzai laugh.
Concubine Wu's face was even worse.
"Report...report to the Queen Mother, Yan'er's health has improved a lot, thank you Queen Mother for your concern!" Qi Yunluo lowered his head, and his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
The Queen Mother listened for a long time, but seemed not to hear clearly. She was immediately dissatisfied and said, "Although Yan'er is born to a concubine, he is still your child. You should pay more attention to her in the future!"
Qi Yunluo nodded quickly, looking flustered.
The Queen Mother then asked her to sit down.
As a result, the atmosphere became a little stiff. The Queen Mother raised her eyes and smiled at Chu Yiqing: "The cake that Abao brought today is very delicious. Although it is sweet, it has a light fragrance, which makes people feel very happy when smelling it." It’s comfortable, but I wonder what the cake is made of?”
Chu Yiqing smiled lightly and said: "The cake contains honey, which is made from flowers collected by bees. It is very sweet and has a refreshing fragrance. Not only can it be used as a snack, but the cake is also delicious. You can also make a cup of it in the morning and evening. Beauty care! I happened to bring a few small jars with me when I came here, and I want to give them to the Queen Mother and other empresses!"
Chu Yiqing said, and asked Yingrun to lead someone to bring up the jars containing honey. There were exactly twenty jars.
"No wonder Concubine Chu's skin is still so smooth after living in a cold and dry place like Chu Han for so many years. It turns out that there are such good things, but this jar is too small, and Concubine Chu is too stingy!" Na Mei Chang Zai suddenly raised his voice and said.
Chu Yiqing smiled lightly and said: "Sixty thousand bees, each bee needs to collect ten thousand flowers, and they can brew two jars of honey in one day. These twenty jars, but six hundred thousand bees collected one hundred thousand flowers." Flowers are coming!”
When Chu Yiqing said this, some people gasped, and their eyes lit up when they looked at the honeys.
No wonder it has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin. It is really not easy to come by! When everyone took a look at the smooth and white skin, they felt like a cat scratching their hearts, wishing they could go forward and grab a jar.
