Empress Yu Concubine Lie Wins Everyday

In the days to come, there was nothing serious about it, the little rice cake continued to be favored, and she just ran to the Danning Hall when she had nothing to do, to meet Ning Guiren from a distance.

Anyway, Shu Jin kept the two of them far away, so she definitely wouldn't let these two black-eyed chickens get together.

After verification, Shu Jin kicked out Xiao Lingzi, the eunuch in the side hall—this time, Mrs. Ning Gui did not protect her.After all, Xiao Lingzi's behavior can already be regarded as a traitor.

"You don't need to be angry, after all, you're just a loose-mouthed slave." Shu Jin glanced at Ning Guiren's swollen belly, and spoke calmly.

Ning Guiren doesn't think so, why is the mouth not strict?It must have been bought by Concubine Dun!She has hid in Concubine Yu's Tanning Palace, but she still can't get rid of that bitch Nianshi!

Guiren Ning squeezed her belly, in order to protect the child, she didn't care about her face - but it must be Elder Brother!

As long as he can get a son in one fell swoop, even if he can't match Concubine Yu, he can still be a concubine and concubine, and save Concubine Dun from bullying her with her position!

Ning Guiren's eyes were slightly red, "Concubine Dun is too deceitful, my concubine has been avoiding her everywhere now, and she still has no peace!"

Shu Jin slandered: You competed with Concubine Dun before, but you were never polite. Why do you want to hide and relax now, and they have to be worthy of you?You think the whole world is your mother!

"Okay, pregnant women should not cry. Since the emperor handed you over to me, I will try my best to protect you." Shu Jin had no choice but to be more lenient.

Ning Guiren coquettishly said: "The concubine entrusted herself and the child in her womb to the empress."

At this time, the palace lady Hanshuang quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, today the House of Internal Affairs sent a very plump banyan snake, which is most suitable for making snake soup."

Shu Jin nodded, "Then leave it to the eunuch who is best at Cantonese cuisine."

Ning Guiren's pretty face suddenly turned pale, and her body trembled slightly: "Snakes?! How can there be snakes in the palace?"

Shu Jin was speechless for a while, what's the big deal?Snake soup is a famous dish.

Hanshuang secretly laughed, Ning Guiren was so timid, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "Don't worry, nobleman, this banyan snake is not poisonous."

Ning Guiren's face was still ugly, "Even if it is not poisonous, it will bite!"

Hanshuang was speechless for a while, "The chickens, ducks and geese sent to Danning Temple were slaughtered, let alone snakes."

Ning Guiren bit his lip, but he still couldn't understand, his voice was a little stuttering: "The imperial concubine...how can you like to eat snakes?"

Shu Jin also can't understand Ning Gui, why are you so picky?

"Snake soup is a delicacy." The other concubines wanted to eat it but couldn't!Only after she became a noble concubine can she ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs for this or that.If it was someone else, the Ministry of Internal Affairs would not care about it.

Then he smiled and ordered: "Tonight, ask the chef to make a stewed snake soup. Hongzhou likes it very much."

Ning Guiren turned pale again, she clutched her belly and said, "Concubine, please leave first!"

Then he ran away without a trace as if fleeing for his life.

Shu Jin: ...

Although girls are afraid of snakes no matter how many times they see them, but if they are made into a dish, what else is there to be afraid of?

Hanshuang chuckled, and whispered, "You really are as timid as a mouse!"

Shu Jin waved his hand: "Okay, don't mention this in front of Ning Guiren from now on."

"Yes, the slave has written it down." Hanshuang said with a smile.

In fact, the authentic Cantonese three-snake soup and Taishi five-snake soup use poisonous snakes, and they often use highly poisonous snakes such as cobras and golden kraits.Although Shu Jin was not afraid of a dish, he didn't want anyone to die trying to catch poisonous snakes, so he asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to buy non-venomous snakes to make snake soup.

Although the chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep sent to the various palaces and courtyards are the freshest, they can't run wild in the palace. They are all slaughtered on the same day and sent to various dining rooms.This snake is no exception, after all, Shu Jin doesn't want her ingredients to come out and scare people.

So Ning Guiren has lived in Danning Palace for so long, and he just discovered that the imperial concubine actually likes to eat snake soup.

This stewed snake soup is not difficult to make. Cut the snake meat into sections, add rice wine, green onion, ginger, salt, and tangerine peel and steam it in a basket. Remove the snake meat, tear it into shreds, and then stir-fry it with lard. Add shiitake mushrooms and shredded fungus, cook rice wine, and simmer for an hour.

It's just fresh snake meat, so the stewed snake soup is absolutely delicious.

As the sun set to the west, Shu Jin and Hong Xiaozhou Niang each had a bowl of snake soup, each eating deliciously.

Putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Hong Xiaozhou was satisfied but also regretted, "It's a pity that the portion is a little less."

Shu Jin smiled and said, "This banyan snake was brought from the south, it's really rare."

What's more, this thing seems to nourish the kidneys, uh... don't give too much to children.

Hong Xiaozhou patted his stomach, and couldn't help lamenting: "Today, Mister arranged ten big characters again, alas, I have to stay up late again."

At this age, there is already homework. Although Shu Jin feels sorry for his son, he can't change the rules of going to the study, so he said, "Then go back and write."

Hong Xiaozhou let out a muffled "hmm", picked up a handful of oranges, and left contentedly.

"Meow!" The plump orange nimbly jumped onto Shu Jin's lap, revealing its snow-white belly—it was a yellow-backed white-bellied cat called a "gold quilt and silver bed", and it was a rare color.

Shu Jinhuan happily stroked the cat, and by the way asked someone to take a plate of dried fish and feed it to the oranges.

For a while, the master and the servant enjoyed themselves.

When the last twilight of the sunset was gone, the Danning Hall was already brightly lit.

Shu Jin was lazily leaning on the beauty's couch, and Aunt Lan Ruo stood beside her: "Madam, today's palace affairs have been checked one by one by the servant, except...you accidentally wrote a few white words missing arms and legs. , and no other issues."

Shu Jin's black line, if there is white text, you can change it, don't tell me!
It's not that Shu Jin is illiterate, it's simply that she was used to using simplified characters in her previous life. Even if she knows how to write this character in traditional characters, she still occasionally makes some harmless mistakes.

"Ahem!" Shu Jin coughed awkwardly, then turned her gaze to Hanshuang and Lu Xue. These two girls are now girls in their 20s.

"You two, what are your plans for the future?" Shu Jin looked at their fair and round faces.As her personal maid, the standard of food is quite good, and everyone is getting a little fat, which is very gratifying.

Both Hanshuang and Lu Xue were taken aback for a moment.

Shu Jin said quickly: "The court ladies can leave the palace as usual when they reach the age of 25."

Hanshuang blinked: "Niang Niang, it's still early."

Hanshuang and Luxue are only in their early twenties, and there are still three or four years left.

Shu Jin smiled and said: "Of course I haven't forgotten the ages of you two, it's just a matter of life, and you should make plans in advance."

Hanshuang said without hesitation: "The slave doesn't want to leave the palace."

Lu Xue also said: "The servant wants to stay and be a teaching and guiding mother, and serve the empress for the rest of her life."

Shu Jin was not surprised by such a choice.Although the vast majority of court ladies look forward to leaving the palace to marry at the full age, but at the age of 25, in this era, she is a proper old lady, at most she can only be a stepmother, or even a concubine.After leaving the palace, more court ladies found that they could not marry any good families, so they simply went to rich families to be nuns and taught those ladies of the Eight Banners who were waiting for election.

Many retired court ladies often have a bleak old age, so with many grand court ladies who are trusted by their masters, they would rather stay and be called Jiaoyin mothers.

Shu Jin is now a noble concubine, and Lan Ruo, the great nun in charge, is the envy of many people.

Hanshuang and Lu Xue are about to take over.

Shu Jin smiled and said: "You have all thought it over clearly. Now that I am a noble concubine, I can let you out one or two years in advance. I will give you a generous dowry."

Hearing the generous dowry, Hanshuang couldn't help but hesitate a bit, after thinking about it for a while, she couldn't help laughing at herself being infatuated, she wasn't a beauty, even if she left the palace a year or two earlier, would she be able to marry such a good family?When the time comes to serve the whole family, it is better to stay and serve the empress!

Lu Xue didn't hesitate at all, and immediately said: "This servant only wants to serve your mother!"

Seeing this, Hanshuang also hurriedly said: "The servant is not leaving either!"

Shu Jin nodded, "I understand your thoughts."

Although they are all for their own long-term considerations, is this not a kind of loyalty?
She thought for a while, and then said: "Hongzhou is working hard at school now, and I have been worried about the Changchun Immortal Hall. I want to assign a maid in charge to go there. Which of you two is willing to go?"

Hanshuang and Lu Xue were stunned for a moment, after all there were eunuchs in charge and several nuns in the Changchun Immortal Hall, but the empress did not assign a maid in charge.Co-authoring this seat is reserved for them!

Hanshuang was a little excited for a while, but she couldn't bear to part with Danning Hall, so she took a peek at Aunt Lan Ruo, who was not old, and if she was waiting to take over, she might not know when.It's better to go to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, first be the maid in charge, and when you reach the age of 25, you will be the nanny in charge. In the future, when the elder brother divides the mansion, he will be the grand nanny in charge of the palace!This is a clear and bright road!
Without saying a word, Hanshuang knelt down, "This servant is willing to serve Fifth Elder Brother!"

Shu Jin nodded in satisfaction, although Hanshuang and Luxue had always been as close as sisters, but Bao Buqi would turn against her in the future because of the position of the great nun of Danning Hall.Therefore, Tete reserved the seat of the maid in charge of the Changchun Immortal Pavilion just for today.

These two girls are both loyal and clever, it would be a pity if they left.Shu Jin has long wanted to keep people, but this kind of thing is not easy to force.Since they were willing to stay, Shu Jin couldn't treat them badly.

"Okay, then you can tidy up today, and go to the Changchun Immortal Hall tomorrow." Shu Jin asked Lan Ruo to take two gold ingots and two jade hairpins to reward Hanshuang.

And Lu Xue will be Lan Ruo's deputy and future successor in the future.

After that, Shu Jin also promoted Shu Xiang, Mo Xiang, Mei Xiang, and Zhu Xiang from among the second-class maids to be the first-class court ladies.

The newly promoted four first-class court ladies are also extremely clever, they beat their legs and squeezed their backs, and served tea and incense, which is called hard work.

Lu Xue's smile became brighter and brighter, and she wholeheartedly followed Aunt Lan Ruo to learn various palace affairs.

Hall Tanning was harmonious, and finally Shu Jin could continue to lie down with peace of mind.

I suspect that I am Yang, although there is no evidence...

But today I feel better.
