Noble First Daughter-in-law

Upon hearing the news, Shang Ruyi was also shocked.

But she reacted quickly and stood up immediately. She asked Tu Sheer to help her wash up briefly. After getting dressed, she walked to the outer hall. Chang Yuan had already led people in. It was the big man next to Chu Ruoyan. The palace maid Panqing.

Shang Ruyi sat in front, watching Panqing slowly walk in with a box in his hand, and then looked behind her.

There was no one else but her.

Shang Ruyi's eyebrows could not help but frown slightly, but he didn't say much. He saw Pan Qing walking forward and bowing to her respectfully: "My slave, I pay my respects to the princess."

Shang Ruyi said: "No courtesy."

Pan Qing slowly stood up and said: "My father-in-law and his wife were very happy when they heard that the princess was happy. She specially asked the slave to bring some delicious snacks to the princess. I hope the princess will take good care of her health and give birth to Lin'er as soon as possible."

After saying that, he handed the food box in his hand to Chang Wan who was standing aside.

Chang Wan came over holding the box and put it on the table in front of Shang Ruyi. Shang Ruyi lowered his head and saw that it was an exquisite red lacquered and carved food box. The lid was covered with a large piece of hollow carved bamboo. There seemed to be two people in the bamboo forest. The scene looked familiar to Shang Ruyi, but she couldn't just stare at the box at this time, so she reached out and opened the lid again, only to see four pieces of red hawthorn cake stacked in the box, with sprinkles sprinkled on top. There is a layer of extremely finely ground powdered sugar. Once the box is opened, the wind blows away the powdered sugar mist.

At first glance, it looks like bright red flowers covered with white snow, bright and moving.

However, when I looked carefully, I found that although the colors of these snacks were bright and pleasing, they were not as exquisite and neat as the snacks sent by Shangshi Bureau before.

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but said: "This is -"

Pan Qing said: "Everything here is made by Madam herself."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi immediately raised his head and glanced at her, and Pan Qing nodded very solemnly.

Shang Ruyi suddenly understood why Jinyuyuan had to set up a separate small kitchen. It turned out that it was Chu Ruoyan who made the cakes for herself.

She smiled and said, "Go back and say don't worry."

After saying that, she was about to close the box, but Panqing stood still and only said to Shang Ruyi: "These are made by Madam herself. Please give the Princess a taste. If they are good or not, I can go back." There is an explanation.”

"..."

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi hesitated in his hand holding the lid.

Speaking of which, Chu Ruoyan specifically ordered Pan Qing to watch him take a bite before giving up. However, she doesn't have much appetite for snacks now. After all, she ate a lot at noon and just woke up from a nap, so she's not hungry either.

Then he smiled and said: "The snacks made by Mrs. Chu herself are naturally good."

After saying that, he had to close the box.

Seeing this, Panqing asked, "Does the princess not like the snacks sent by my wife, or does she not like the snacks made by my wife herself?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi's eyebrows frowned slightly.

These days, she has received a lot of pastries and delicacies from people in the palace. Sometimes she opens them and eats them as soon as she gets them, and even invites them to join them. Sometimes she doesn't have the appetite, so she puts them away, and she still has to say thank you. . But whether you eat or not, it's up to the guest to do as he pleases. However, Pan Qing's words were overt and covert, both soft and hard, forcing him to take a bite at this time.

As a palace maid, Panqing would never dare to force herself like this. It was obviously Chu Ruoyan's order in advance.

But she's like this -

At this moment, Tu She'er on the side could no longer control his temper and took a step forward to scold Pan Qing. Fortunately, Chang Wan saw it and grabbed her, then stood in front of Tu She'er, She smiled at Pan Qing and said, "The princess' favorite is hawthorn cake. The reason why she doesn't eat it now is because she wants to save it and enjoy it when His Highness King Qin comes back."

After saying that, he smiled and said: "I wonder if Your Highness has ever tasted Mrs. Chu's craftsmanship."

Hearing this, Pan Qing hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shang Ruyi, and then said: "It turns out that the princess wants to enjoy it with Her Highness. This--actually, my wife just learned this snack and brought it to the princess. Yes, King Qin hasn’t used it yet.”

Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "Then I must taste it with His Highness."

After saying that, he gave Tusheer a wink, so Tusheer stepped forward and handed Panqing a piece of silver, and said with a smile: "I will send sister Panqing back."

Panqing had no choice but to salute, turned around and walked out with Tu Sheer.

Shang Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Chang Wan, and said with a smile: "Thanks to your eyes just now, if She'er had spoken, I'm afraid I would have offended someone again today."

Chang Wan said: "She'er can't bear to see the princess being wronged."

As she spoke, she walked over and saw that the teacup in Shang Ruyi's hand was almost empty. She went to add some hot water first, then picked up the lid of the food box and prepared to close it and put it away. At this moment, outside There was another sound of footsteps, and it was obvious that Tu Sheer was not the only one who came back. They both looked up and saw that Tu Sheer had sent Pan Qing off, but then came in with another person. It was Su Qing, the imperial physician. orchid.

Carrying a medicine box as usual, she walked in and saluted Shang Ruyi respectfully. Shang Ruyi immediately smiled and said, "Master Su, don't be too polite."

After that, let Chang Wan prepare.

Su Qinglan came to check her pulse as usual. As usual, Chang Wan took out a small hand pad prepared by Qianqiu Palace and placed it under Shang Ruyi's wrist. Su Qinglan stretched her hand on the stove to warm it. After making sure there was no coldness in his hands, he stepped forward to plead guilty, then grabbed Shang Ruyi's pulse, examined it carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "The princess's pulse is stable, there is nothing wrong with her."

Shang Ruyi smiled and put down his sleeves and said, "Here comes Mr. Laosu."

Su Qinglan said hurriedly: "This is a matter within the scope of the minister."

After saying that, she looked around again and said, "Not many people came to Qianqiu Palace today."

Shang Ruyi said: "There were so many people here in the past two days that we didn't have a day off. Today is fine. Only people from Jinyuyuan brought some snacks."

"Oh?"

Su Qinglan raised her eyebrows slightly.

She is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business, but because she was ordered by the emperor to take care of Shang Ruyi's pregnancy, she has to listen to and see more about all the affairs in the Qianqiu Palace. In addition, the matter of King Qin's concubine was also not included. She couldn't hide it from anyone, so she had always known about the not-too-close relationship between Chu Ruoyan and Shang Ruyi, and she also knew that Chu Ruoyan had not expressed anything about Shang Ruyi's pregnancy for so many days.

Unexpectedly, today, he took the initiative to break the deadlock.

Just - snacks?

Su Qinglan thought for a while and said, "If you are brave, Wei Chen, could you please ask the princess to show Wei Chen the snacks sent by Mrs. Chu?"
