People in the room were chatting and laughing. Everyone could see that the concubine did not like Princess Yun, so no one talked to her. Shen Bichi was sitting next to her while being held by concubine Shen. From the corner of her eye, she saw Ming Ruo, who looked like a transparent person. The person seemed alone in the room full of laughter. The smile on his face became even brighter.
Instead of chatting awkwardly with people she doesn't know, Mingruo is happy to relax, be a quiet beautiful woman, and watch the ladies and ladies fight quietly, which is actually quite interesting.
The first wave of rainbow farts by ladies and ladies from each family was over. The emperor, queen, and queen mother sent congratulatory gifts one after another, and everyone entered the second round. Soon, Aunt Bailian said that the luncheon was ready and invited everyone to take a seat.
Mingruo looked at Concubine Shen's behavior and guessed that she wouldn't be able to get a good position, so she walked silently behind the crowd.
Aunt Dong also felt that the concubine did a great job today. Even if she didn't like the princess, she should still give her some face in front of others. It would be a slap in the prince's face to lose face to the princess in this way.
Si Haochen was raised by Aunt Dong. She could naturally see that the prince cared about the princess. Aunt Dong shook Mingruo's hand to express her comfort.
Ming Ruo tilted her head and smiled knowingly at Aunt Dong. The smile was clear and indifferent, without the slightest reluctance. It made her, a person who had spent half her life working in the palace, admire her deeply.
Mingruo still underestimated Concubine Shen's ability to teach people. She saw Concubine Shen sitting on the main seat, and finally showed a little smile on her face: "Chen'er finally married a daughter-in-law, and I can also enjoy it." It’s a blessing to have my daughter-in-law serve you.”
Cailian handed a brocade handkerchief to Mingruo, with a flash of disdain in her eyes. Mingruo looked at the palace maid next to her, fanning herself and holding the incense box. Well...she probably got the job of a second-class palace maid. .
Cailian turned around and started serving dishes to Concubine Shen. Mingruo didn't care. She had never regarded herself as Princess Yunqin. She didn't feel humiliated when everyone was sitting and standing while others were eating and watching her.
As a doctor, I see many patients with high paraplegia who have severed hands and feet in the hospital. The nurses and caregivers take care of their meals, body cleaning, and even urination and defecation. Sometimes when they are too busy, she will help them.
No words were spoken when eating, and no words were spoken when sleeping. Everyone ate in silence. The ladies from each family seemed not to be eating, but to compete with each other to see whose table manners were better.
Each of them sat upright, holding the chopsticks with their hands carefully, and probably no more than ten grains of rice were put into their mouths each time. The maids were also very easy on themselves, and the dishes they served were only a piece of green vegetables and a few shredded pork. Dishes that require spitting out bones and thorns and chewing them have been blacklisted.
Seeing this dining pattern, Mingruo became even more satisfied with her job of standing aside holding a handkerchief.
After the meal, Cailian served Concubine Shen to rinse her mouth and hands, then took the brocade handkerchief from Mingruo and wiped Concubine Shen's mouth and hands. The palace servants quickly removed the remaining mats and placed tea, melons and fruits on the table. .
Concubine Shen glanced at Princess Qinghuang, who was standing silently behind her. Seeing that there was no anger, no resentment, no sadness, no joy in her eyes, she took a high look and said, "Qinghuang, please go down to have a meal. I see how delicious the pigeon soup is." Okay, I'll send a cup to the princess later."
"Thank you, concubine." Mingruo saluted and followed Aunt Bailian down to have a meal.
Today was a birthday banquet, and the luncheon was held in the conference living room. Bai Lian took Mingruo to the small flower hall where Concubine Shen usually ate, and the palace maid quickly placed eight dishes, four cold and four hot.
Finally, Cailian brought a stew pot in and placed it in front of Mingruo: "Princess, this is the pigeon soup given to you by the Dowager Empress."
Ming Ruo raised her eyebrows slightly and saw a malicious smile on Cailian's lips: "I don't need anyone to serve me when I'm eating. The two aunts have worked hard for a long time, so they can just go and rest."
Mingruo winked, and Zisu handed two delicate little purses to Bai Lian and Cai Lian respectively: "Aunt Bai Lian, Aunt Cai Lian, this is the princess's wishes."
Bai Lian thanked her politely, and Cailian also saluted, but she weighed the purse with her hands, acting arrogantly.
The two of them left as they were told, and Bai Lian went to the kitchen to order some food to prepare for the meal. Cailian went back to the bedroom first, opened her purse, and saw that it was actually a golden locket. A smile suddenly appeared on her face. After all, this Princess Qinghuang was a princess. , her actions are much more generous than Miss Shen.
All the maids and eunuchs in the Changchun Palace could see that the Dowager Empress did not like Princess Yun, so they naturally did not take her seriously when serving her. There were only three masters and servants named Mingruo left in the small flower hall.
Mingruo saw that there were no outsiders here, so he invited Aunt Dong and Zisu to eat together.
"Princess, you can't do it. This is not our palace. There are so many people and they can't let them get the blame." Aunt Dong knew Mingruo's habits, so she didn't lay out the dishes. She just opened the soup cup and filled some. Pour the squab soup into Mingruo bowl.
Mingruo was actually quite hungry, but after having been tossing all morning, she had no appetite. She picked up a few bites of the dishes that pleased her and picked up the soup bowl. Suddenly there was a sharp beeping sound in her head - the sound was detected. Toxic substances.
A flash of amusement flashed in Mingruo's eyes, "Hey, this time I entered the palace with Concubine Shen. I thought she was just giving me a show of strength, so I shouldn't encounter the terrible things in the palace fight. Unexpectedly, Still can’t avoid being vulgar.
Mingruo didn't even send it to the medical system for testing. After checking it herself, she found out what ingredients were added to the soup. The medicine was cold and cool, and it was a tiger-wolf medicine that specifically destroyed the endometrium. To put it simply, it was the medicine for infertility. This Dowager Shen Are you really cruel enough to want your own son to have no descendants?
Then I thought, she should only be targeting herself. As a princess with infertility, she can justifiably marry a concubine. Otherwise, let’s not mention the young ladies who came to celebrate her birthday today, just cousin Bichi. There was nowhere to put it. Mingruo threw the spoon back into the bowl and immediately couldn't eat anything.
He carefully inspected the remaining food, and then said to Aunt Dong and Zi Su: "Sit down and eat some food to fill your stomach. Don't drink this pigeon soup."
Aunt Dong and Zi Su were both stunned. Then they thanked each other and did not dare to sit down. They only stood at the table and took a few bites. Aunt Dong took out her handkerchief and dipped it in the soup. Fold it and stuff it back into your sleeve pocket.
Mingruo sat on the chair and closed his eyes to relax. He just wanted to go back quickly and have a good sleep.
When Ming Ruo returned to the living room, the ladies and ladies had been holding Concubine Shen in their arms, chatting for a long time, and drinking a lot of tea. Concubine Shen was about to take a lunch break, and everyone left one after another. Concubine Shen only left Shen Bichi to wake up. I still need to talk to her.
Mingruo also left with everyone. The autumn sun was already poisonous, and now it was afternoon. Mingruo felt that this long palace road seemed to have no end, and he felt even more disgusted with the palace.
After walking out of Xuanhe Gate, Mingruo felt that her breathing was much easier.
Ming Ruo leaned on the couch in the carriage and told her before closing her eyes: "When you get to the palace, the carriage will stop at the side door."
