Shangshi female official

Nanny Chen was reluctant but kind, and went to drink tea with Nanny Feng and the others, and Wang Yifu talked about the imperial dining room with girls around her age.

Beside the west hall, the girls who were about to enter the palace took a futon and sat down on the spot. A young maid brought a chair, and Wang Yifu sat on the chair and talked with them.

"Suddenly let me talk about Shangshi Bureau. I don't know where to start. Why don't you guys ask me any questions by taking this opportunity, and I will definitely know everything."

A little girl under the seat raised her hand, Wang Yifu signaled her to speak, she stood up and asked, "Shangshi Bureau, is there a lot of food?"

"There are not only food, but also some rare ingredients, such as mountain delicacies and wild game. It's just that it's more troublesome to cook, and the smell of game is hard to get rid of. If it wasn't for the sage to go hunting in the countryside, or to offer it from all over the place, the people in the imperial dining room would not Happy to do more."

"Then...can we eat?"

Wang Yifu couldn't help laughing, leaned her body and whispered: "Which cook doesn't taste the food he cooks?"

The girls all snickered, but the little girl lowered her head and raised her eyes, and asked cautiously, "Is it delicious?"

"Don't ask if it's delicious, you have to find a way to make it delicious, it's all for the master's ladies to taste, how can you be sloppy."

Another little girl stood up and asked, "Sister Zhang Shan, how did you become Zhang Shan in one year?"

Thinking of this incident, Wang Yifu felt a little lacking in confidence. She couldn't say that she was favored by the empress and wanted her help. She was chosen by luck, right?

She thought about it carefully, pondered over her words, and then said: "When I was in the inner teaching workshop, Mr. Chen Shangshi always told me to read more books. There are some things in the book that cannot be learned by learning how to cook alone." .

Most of the ladies in the palace are famous ladies from scholarly families. If there are poetic connotations in the names of the dishes, they will be able to catch the eyes of the ladies, and they will recognize you naturally. Here we go. "

The girls in the audience all nodded their heads as if they had suddenly realized, but Wang Yifu was thankful that in front of the younger generation, she still managed to get this matter over with.

They asked some innocuous questions, and Nanny Chen sent someone to tell her to go back. She bid farewell to the new Shangshi court ladies and went to the hall to meet Nanny Chen.

From Neijiaofang to Yuanwu Street, they had to get off the carriage and walk back to the palace. They walked slowly with their backs facing the sunset. In spring, the days gradually grew longer, and they paced slowly along the red wall. Like dancing.

A group of people lit up the agarwood signboard at the gate of Yuanwumen, and the guards let them go into the palace after inspection. Just a few steps after they walked in, they saw Mother Zhou rushing over, panting for a long time, and said anxiously : "My lord, why did you come back, something serious happened."

Mother Chen didn't know what to do, and asked, "What is worth being so impatient?"

"Shen Ci has been interrogated by the palace, and has been put on a stick, and now he is lying in the imperial hospital."

Wang Yifu's heart was half cold, and she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Nanny Zhou's arm, staring and asking, "Why did this happen?"

Mother Chen persuaded: "Hurry up, talk while walking."

It was a long journey from Yuanwu Gate to Tai Hospital, so Nanny Zhou talked about the whole story on the way.

"Not long after you left this morning, Gong Zheng suddenly brought someone to Shen Ci's room, and found a small black cloth bag from her cabinet."

Hearing this, Wang Yifu's heart was completely cold. It was a witchcraft found in the imperial dining room, and the empress's birthday was embroidered on it.

Mother Chen didn't understand the mystery, and asked, "It's just a small cloth bag, how could it be such a serious mess?"

"That cloth bag is not an ordinary item. Inside the bag is a charm, and the empress's birthday is embroidered on the bag. Gong Zheng was so angry when he saw it that he asked people to turn the Six Bureaus and One Division upside down. "

Mother Chen was stunned, her steps stopped, her eyes fluttered left and right, she suddenly calmed down, looked at Wang Yifu, and asked, "What's going on?"

Wang Yifu cried out in panic, and said intermittently: "I went to the imperial dining room to look for medical records, and found it in the shrine of the chef ancestor. I asked Shen Ci to burn it, but she didn't dare. She was afraid that if it burned Now, some bad things should be on the empress, and I kept saying that I would find someone who understands this thing to deal with it, but I didn't know that before it was dealt with, it was found out."

Nanny Chen pointed at her, sighed for a while, and cursed: "You are so confused, why didn't you tell me about this?"

"We...we're also afraid that if we make a fuss, your lord will be slandered by others, and they'll cry out for a thief..."

Nanny Chen was so anxious and angry that she almost hit someone, shook her sleeves fiercely, and left in the lead.

Wang Yifu hurriedly followed, and the three of them rushed to the Imperial Hospital, where Shen Ci had already been placed in a small room at the end of the imperial pharmacy.

Du Jingmo and Zha Yunfan were both in the room. When they saw Wang Yifu, they didn't dare to look directly at her and turned away.

Shen Ci was lying on that bed, her hair stuck to her forehead, her whole face was pale, the blood on her mouth had faded, she looked like a dead person, her fingers were wrapped in thick white cloth strips, as stiff as wood.

Wang Yifu knelt by the bed, choked with sobs and softly called out: "Shen Ci? Shen Ci, wake up..."

Seeing the miserable state of her beloved apprentice, Chen Nanny was also furious, she turned her head and reprimanded Zhou Nanny: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big matter earlier?"

Mother Zhou said anxiously: "The dining room can't leave, just as Shen Ci was taken away, the little one sent the maid to the inner teaching workshop to inform."

"Then why don't you see anyone..." Nanny Chen frowned in thought, and murmured, "Is it a calculated day to pick me out of the palace?"

"The little one also finds it strange now, the adults have always liked Shen Ci, how could it be possible to come back so late?"

Chen Momo suddenly took another breath, "Aside from missing the maid who was notified, I also drank an extra cup of tea in the Inner Teaching Workshop today..."

"Could it be...Nurse Xia?"

Nanny Chen nodded, thinking about it carefully, it was Nanny Xia who suddenly delayed their return to the palace.

Wang Yifu was furious, she got up and planned to rush out to settle the score, but Du Jingmo grabbed her, hugged her and persuaded: "Yifu, calm down."

Wang Yifu stretched out her hand and broke free, roaring: "How can I calm down? There are three generals who know that Shen Ci has that thing. If I'm not in the palace, who else can there be?"

Mother Chen hurriedly asked, "Who?"

It was hard for Wang Yifu to say, they used to be so good in Neijiaofang, but now they fell apart because of Du Jingmo, it was embarrassing and chilling to say, she was so angry that she trembled for a while before crying: "Xinyan, Xu Xinyan, she knows. "

Everyone sighed, never thought that such a pure and clean girl would act so viciously and treacherously now.
