The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 292
It was near noon that Cui Hengyue woke up leisurely.

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Cui Hengyue called out: "Shui Fu—"

Hongju ran in: "Yuanniang, you woke up, I'll go fetch water right away."

After speaking, he ran out again.

Cui Hengyue was puzzled, and after Hongju came in with hot water, she asked, "Where are the others?"

Hongju waited for Hengyue to wash up and replied: "Miss Wen's injury has not recovered, so she went back to her room to rest.

"Miss Shuifu and Mistress Shuirong are counting the rewards sent by the palace, and everyone else is busy."

Hongju stopped suddenly and lowered her head awkwardly: "Yuanniang, can I not enter this room?"

She is just a lowly sweeping maid who cannot enter the master's room.

"I call you, you can come in." After Cui Hengyue finished speaking, she told her: "Go and call Shui Fu over."

"Yes."

Soon, Shui Fu came to Cui Hengyue: "Yuan Niang, what are your orders?"

Cui Hengyue asked: "Have you counted all the rewards from the palace?"

"It's almost done. The things have been registered and registered, and they are just about to be sent to the warehouse."

Shui Fu handed the booklet in her hand to Cui Hengyue, and then wiped the sweat from her forehead.

The emperor was young and hadn't gotten married yet, so there weren't many masters in the palace, but after Cui Hengyue showed up at the Mid-Autumn Festival feast, all the masters in the palace gave them a meeting gift.

And yesterday, the emperor sent someone to bring more than ten boxes of gifts, which filled the wing room.

Shui Fu didn't think that the emperor gave Cui Hengyue so many gifts because he valued Cui Hengyue. She thought that the reason why the emperor rewarded Cui Hengyue with so many things was because of her status.

Cui Hengyue knew well that it was because she told the emperor about the king of Chu that the emperor rewarded her with so many things.

However, when these things entered the mansion yesterday, many people in the mansion were red-eyed, which was not a good thing for her.

Cui Hengyue thought for a while, then handed the brochure to Shui Fu: "You discuss with Shui Rong, pick out half of these things, and send them to the masters of each house.

"Regardless of concubines, wives and concubines, no one is allowed to be left behind."

"Yes." Shui Fu took the brochure and left the room.

During lunch, Cui Hengyue couldn't help swallowing as she looked at a table of pleasantly colored dishes.

During these two days in the palace, she dared not let go of eating, and now that she returned to the mansion, she naturally wanted to have a hearty meal.

Cui Hengyue picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of meat into her mouth, chewed it twice, and then frowned.

After chewing a few more times, I couldn't hold back any more, and spit out the meat in my mouth again.

Shui Fu asked calmly: "Yuan Niang, what's wrong with you? Is the food not tasty?"

"It's too salty." Cui Hengyue replied, and extended his chopsticks to other plates.

But just ate it and vomited it out.

Cui Hengyue was a little angry, and tasted every dish on the plate, but the result was not satisfactory.

"Snapped!"

Cui Hengyue slammed the chopsticks on the table and said angrily, "Has the cook changed in the Fuchu?"

When she first returned home, although the meals made by those cooks were not as good as Mu Shui's, the taste was barely palatable.

Now, she only lived in the palace for one day, and the food in the mansion changed.

Shui Fu turned her head and asked Shui Rong: "Has there been a change of cook in the house?"

Shui Rong looked blank: "I didn't hear that Fuchu changed cooks. Oh, I know."

Seeing Cui Hengyue looking over, Shui Rong explained: "Last night, I saw that you ate less, so I wanted to go to the big kitchen to cook breakfast for you this morning.

"I didn't expect the people in the big kitchen to say that other than the old lady and the eldest lady in the backyard, other masters are not allowed to use the kitchen.

"If I want to make breakfast for you, I have to ask the old lady and the eldest lady for instructions, and I have to prepare the ingredients myself.

"I couldn't be more angry. I said a few words. I guess I offended the people in the big kitchen. They made you a bad lunch on purpose."

Speaking of this, Shui Rong knelt down: "Yuan Niang, it's all my fault, I shouldn't blame them, it makes you not eat well."

Her sudden kneeling scared Cui Hengyue and Shui Fu.

Unexpectedly, in order to win back Cui Hengyue's trust, Shui Rong, who never knelt down easily, actually knelt down for Cui Hengyue, and Shui Fu admired her, so she also knelt down.

"Yuan Niang, when I passed by the big kitchen, I happened to see it, so I went up and said a few words, I was also at fault."

Cui Hengyue slapped the table with her palm, her face full of anger: "It's unreasonable, it's simply deceiving people too much."

With that said, he rushed out.

Shui Rong hurriedly hugged Cui Hengyue's leg: "Yuan Niang, you can't go to the big kitchen, it will humiliate your status to argue with the servants, I'd better go and tell them."

"That's right, Yuan Niang, you are the eldest daughter of the Cui family, so you can't do things that humiliate your status, so leave such small things to us." Shui Fu echoed.

Cui Hengyue calmed down and reprimanded: "Let go."

Shui Rong looked up at her, and slowly let go of her hand.

Cui Hengyue sat down again, glanced at the dishes on the table, and said suddenly: "Actually, it's useless for you to argue with them.

"Although it is the largest family, the food is much more delicious and delicate than the food in Beppu, but it is still far behind Mu Shui's lady."

Ugh--

Cui Hengyue looked outside the door and sighed: "It would be great if Mrs. Mu Shui was here, then I can eat the meals she cooks every day."

Thinking of the time when she could eat the food made by Mu Shui every day, Cui Hengyue showed an intoxicated expression on her face, it was simply delicious in the world.

Even if it is the royal chef in the palace, it can't compare.

"It's really delicious." Cui Hengyue licked her lips, as if the delicious food was still in her mouth.

Shui Fu and Shui Rong secretly looked at each other and smiled.

"Yuan Niang—"

Hearing the call, Cui Hengyue came to her senses, and she looked at Shui Fu displeasedly: "What's wrong?"

Shui Fu hesitated and said: "Actually, if the lady can do it, Shui Rong can do it too."

Cui Hengyue's expression froze: "What do you mean? Do you mean that the taste of Shui Rong is the same as that of Mrs. Mu Shui?"

"Uh..." Shui Fu pretended to be thinking seriously: "Almost."

Cui Hengyue's eyes lit up, and she quickly helped Shui Rong up: "Is what Shui Fu said true?"

Shui Rong lowered her head: "I don't dare to compare with the lady, but the lady taught me all her skills without reservation."

Hearing this, Cui Hengyue was overjoyed: "You go and cook me two dishes now, I'll wait for you."

"Yuan Niang, I'm afraid I can't do it now, I have to ask the old lady or the eldest lady to use the kitchen." Shui Fu reminded.

Cui Hengyue froze.

The next moment, she ordered: "Bring the gift from the big house, I'm going to visit my aunt."

Shui Fu and Shui Rong hurried to prepare.

On the way to the big house, Shui Fu said to Cui Hengyue: "The big kitchen is too far away from Jinglan Garden, winter is coming, when the food will be delivered, it will not be as delicious as freshly cooked food.

"Besides, those things taught by the lady require a long time to prepare, and it is too inconvenient to go to the big kitchen every day."

Cui Hengyue heard the meaning behind her words: "You mean to build a small kitchen in Jinglanyuan?"

"If it is possible, that would be the best." Shui Fu said with a smile.

Cui Hengyue was silent.

When they arrived at the main room, Mrs. Cui had already finished her lunch, she thought that Cui Hengyue had also finished her lunch, so she only had hot tea prepared.

"Yuanniang, your injury hasn't healed yet, why don't you rest on the bed?" Mrs. Cui asked with concern.

Cui Hengyue: "The imperial physician's order said that you should walk around properly, which is conducive to the recovery of the wound. I just came to deliver something to my aunt."

After finishing speaking, Cui Hengyue ordered someone to present the gift.

Mrs. Cui made a serious face: "We are all a family, what gift do you give?"

Cui Hengyue smiled and said: "This is a piece of filial piety from my niece, so my aunt will accept it."

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Cui no longer refused, and ordered people to put away the gift.

"Since the imperial physician ordered you to move around appropriately, let's go for a walk in the yard." Mrs. Cui stood up and invited Cui Hengyue to go for a walk.

Cui Hengyue did not refuse, and followed her out.

As soon as she left the room, Erniang Cui came over upon hearing the news, grabbed Cui Hengyue's arm and asked, "Elder Sister, can you bring me with you when you go to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow?"

"Going to Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion?" Cui Hengyue was surprised: "Who said I'm going to Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion tomorrow?"

Cui Erniang was stunned: "Didn't you receive the post?"
