Chu Qiao was fascinated by this book. The more she read, the more surprised she became. It turned out that the palace royal cuisine was so diverse and had so many details. It even used the principle of flavoring to make the royal cuisine more delicious. The flavoring was Miss Chu's.
Good show.
Maybe he was so excited that he didn't even realize when Lan Hui came in.
"What are you reading?" When Lan Hui asked, Chu Qiao jumped up in fright and quickly put the book in her arms.
"The eunuch who carried the water gave it to me, Xianshu, I'm sure I can read it..." Chu Qiao replied in a low voice.
"Are you still in the mood to read some leisurely books?"
Lan Hui glanced at Chu Qiao a few times, thinking that she didn't know how to read any good books. Some palace books were forbidden to ladies in the palace. How capable a little handyman could be, and he could only read some small books.
It's just an idle letter handed down from the eunuch's hand.
With a contemptuous smile, Lan Hui's face became much more relaxed. It seemed that Empress Zhaoyi of Jingren Palace did not send Li Chunxiang here to fight with Concubine Jin Hui.
"What a waste." Lan Hui snorted and turned around and went in.
"You are the waste..."
Chu Qiao was so angry that she clenched her fists and muttered in a low voice, isn't it just Concubine Jin Hui's dog? Does she really think that Concubine Jin Hui is the queen, the empress dowager? In the palace, even if she is a queen, if she is not careful,
, there may be an unlucky day, let alone such a sinister Concubine Hui.
Seeing Lan Hui go in, Chu Qiao took out the book and read it carefully. In just seven days, although he couldn't read all of the book, it should be enough to cope with this assessment.
Watching until late at night, when the candlelight was burned out, Chu Qiao put away the book and got into bed. The wind started rustling outside the window, and a few snowflakes floated sporadically.
Chu Qiao's sleepiness faded away with the rustling outside, and her thoughts wandered outside the palace, passed through the long capital streets, the vast wild, narrow alleys, and entered the small Yueyao Town in Qingzhou.
The red door of Chu Mansion is still open...
She seemed to see herself kneeling on the bluestone floor, the big yellow dog howling and screaming after being beaten, her sisters cursing in annoyance, and she, kneeling there, indifferently playing with the falling snowflakes in the sky, scorning and scorning
In her eyes, she lived so carefree.
The punishment from her father, the troubles made by her sisters, and the supercilious looks from the servants were all now distant memories. Lying on the bed belonging to the palace, Chu Qiao felt lonely and lonely like never before.
The distant thoughts were interrupted by a slight knock on the door. Who could it be at this time?
Just as Chu Qiao was about to get up, she saw Lan Hui hurriedly walking out while passing clothes around. She quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Lan Hui walked over nervously. Seeing that Chu Qiao was still asleep, she went to open the door, and the head of a little eunuch was exposed outside the door.
"It's too cold outside, so let's talk here. This... is what I was sent by the empress."
"I know, I must find a way to send the things out." Lan Hui carefully took a cloth bag and stuffed it into her arms.
"The Empress also said that you must pass the assessment in seven days. Even if the Empress talks in private, you can't do too badly. Dozens of pairs of eyes are watching."
"I know." Lan Hui replied.
"That Li Chunxiang..." the little eunuch asked, looking inside.
"She sleeps like a dead pig. Tell my wife that she is a waste and there is no need to worry." Lan Hui said confidently.
"That's good."
After the little eunuch finished speaking, she withdrew her head. Lan Hui hurriedly closed the door. When she turned around, she still looked at Chu Qiao. Chu Qiao deliberately kicked her legs, clicked her mouth a few times, turned over and continued to sleep.
Lan Hui was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe for a long time. She was relieved when she saw that Chu Qiao just turned over and fell asleep again.
"Sleep, there are so many problems, eat and drink."
Lan Hui muttered, carefully put the things in her arms, yawned, and went inside to sleep.
Chu Qiao maintained that posture and stared blankly at the door of the room. What exactly did Concubine Jin Hui want Lan Hui to send out? Why didn't she want the maids around her to do such a thing, but she went to the imperial kitchen to give it to the imperial dining room at all costs?
What about Lan Hui? Lan Hui must pass the assessment seven days later. Why does Concubine Jin Hui let her personal maid become the kitchen assistant in the imperial kitchen?
Numerous questions kept Chu Qiao from falling asleep. She got up before dawn and continued reading with the faint light. No matter why Lan Hui entered the imperial dining room, Chu Qiao's purpose was very clear. She used the imperial dining room to enter the Imperial Hospital.
, investigate the uncle's case, become an ordinary person for his uncle, and then return to Yueyao Town with fairness and justice.
For three days in a row, Chu Qiao went to bed late and got up early to read. Until the morning of the fourth day, Lan Hui ran out of the room angrily.
"Li Chunxiang, are you using up your candles too quickly? There are only so many candles for each room in a month, and you used half a month's worth in three days!"
"Maybe I fell asleep and forgot to put out the candle."
Chu Qiao yawned and swept the snow on the ground. In the past few days, the snow had been falling a lot. If she didn't sweep it up quickly, it would be hard.
Chu Qiao's actions in sweeping the snow made Lan Hui feel that her words had been ignored. She angrily snatched the broom from Chu Qiao's hand and threw it out, but accidentally hit a person who came in.
On the old eunuch, Lan Hui exclaimed and turned around with a pale face.
Seeing how frightened Lan Hui was, this eunuch must be no ordinary person.
"Who doesn't have eyes?"
The old eunuch glanced at the broom that had been hit on his leg and dropped to the ground. His eyes slowly raised, and his face looked as rigid as if it had been smeared with white wax.
Lan Hui trembled with fear and looked at Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao also looked at Lan Hui. At this time, a culprit must be found. Lan Hui was responsible for the trouble. Chu Qiao would never take the blame for someone else.
"It's her!"
Before Chu Qiao could speak, Lan Hui complained first, pointing at Chu Qiao.
"Why did I throw the broom when I turned my back to my father-in-law? Lan Hui, why can't you do it if you dare to do it?"
Chu Qiao has not been a soft persimmon since she was a child. If you want to pinch her, you have to test her hardness.
Facing the old eunuch who came in, Lan Hui's face turned paler and she was sweating.
"No, it's not me..." Her voice was obviously much softer.
But at this moment, little Eunuch Li's voice rang out.
"Li Chunxiang, you beat Eunuch Wang and didn't kneel down quickly to apologize. How dare you frame Lan Hui?"
A villain is not scary, but what is scary is that the villain has accomplices. Little Eunuch Li came out to clear Lan Hui's innocence, but Chu Qiao became a villain who shamelessly shirked responsibility.
