Shangshi female official

They admired each other here, and tasted the taste happily. In the end, Wang Yifu sent them away, and also sent a few boxes of dim sum on behalf of the imperial dining room. The foreign cooks were not to mention how happy they were.

In the afternoon, Wang Yifu returned to the dining room, and saw the maids whispering to each other again, their eyebrows fluttering, like a speech book, I don't know how exciting it is.

"Sishan Ruan is not here, what are you muttering about?"

Seeing that it was her, two maids in the palace never used their status to overwhelm others. They came to her side, looked left and right, and said: "Didn't you see the palm meal in the Jianji Palace? I heard that the Kingdom of Jin presented a beautiful woman today." , I will be lucky in the morning, and it seems that the surname is Quan, so I directly named Concubine Li..."

Hearing this news, Wang Yifu was furious, and said angrily: "Criticize the harem, your hands are itchy."

The palace maid didn't know why Wang Yifu was so angry, she was taken aback, then cringed and bowed her head, and said in a trembling voice: "I know I was wrong, I went to fry glazed balls for my mother."

The maids hurriedly hid aside and hurried to the side, Wang Yifu was so angry that she had to hold back her anger.

The empress of the palace is only 20 years old, she has accepted Xu Xinyan for less than two months, and today she has accepted another Empress Quan, an old man in her forties, so she doesn't know how to restrain herself.

All afternoon, Wang Efu didn't say a word. When picking the vegetable leaves, she seemed to have a grudge against the leaves, and the vegetable leaves were torn to pieces.

No one dared to answer her during the meal, and You Sishan also wondered why Wang Yifu got angry suddenly, but You Sishan didn't like dealing with people at all, so he let her go.

After two rounds of palace banquets, the envoys did not have the task of entering the palace. The next day, the empress summoned two Shangshi adults, Ruan Sishan and Mo Xi, and Wang Yifu to Kunning Palace for questioning.

The empress seldom had time to spare, so she wore a regular dress embroidered with gold butterflies on an indigo blue background, and took scissors to trim the potted orchids placed on the tall table next to the pillar.

After they saluted, the Empress said, "You did a great job entertaining the foreign historian's palace banquet."

Mother Chen replied with a smile: "It is our duty as courtiers to serve the empress."

"However, I heard that the emperor's birthday dishes were prepared in advance by Jin Waishi, which almost embarrassed the imperial dining room. Is there something wrong?"

Several people in the Shangshi Bureau couldn't help looking around, and they didn't dare to answer the words. Mother Chen took the responsibility, bowed and said: "It's true, it's the old minister's negligence, please punish me."

The empress just smiled, turned around and said to Nanny Chen: "When encountering such a foreign history who intentionally made trouble, you handled it very well, how can I punish you? Besides, the golden Buddha's birthday offering is much more conspicuous than the Golden Pond Youlong .”

Chen Momo confirmed that the Empress would not be embarrassed, and then laughed and said: "This is still Wang Zhangshan's idea. Although it is similar to the empress's birthday dish, foreign cooks should have never seen it before."

"Wang Zhangshan, you have made meritorious service again." The empress put the scissors on the tray raised by the maid, wiped her hands with a white handkerchief, walked to the high seat to the north and sat down.

"With the blessing and appreciation of my mother, Yifu is blessed with this kind of blessing."

Wang Yifu said a few words of flattery, but the empress laughed happily, "Since you have made merit, you should naturally be rewarded."

As soon as the queen empress said this, some palace maids came forward from outside the hall with trays in their hands. Inside the trays were opened brocade boxes. There were five pieces of gold hairpins, one bead the size of a fist, three pearl necklaces, and two pairs of jade bracelets. , and a red sandalwood inlaid with jade and ruby ​​Ruyi.

"Master Shangshi and Ruan Sishan, these are rewards for you. As for Moxie, I have decided to promote her as Sishan to reward her for her achievements this time."

When Qiu Shangshi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Madam, Mo Xi doesn't have many days to be a chef, and being promoted to be a secretary is to surpass Dianshan, I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

The empress ignored Qiu Shangshi's words, but turned to Mo Xi and said, "Mo Xi, how long have you been in the palace?"

"Back to your mother, it's been 11 years."

"Mo Xi has been in the palace for so many years, and there are not many people with such qualifications, and her skills are much better than others. Logically, she should have been a high-ranking female official long ago. It is not an exaggeration to be a cook."

"Your Majesty, if Mo Xi can be promoted, should Ruan Si Shan be treated equally?"

The empress's smile gradually sank, she slowly raised her eyes to look at Qiu Shangshi, and asked back: "Who brought the people from Jin Kingdom to the dining room?"

Qiu Shangshi was choked and speechless.

Ruan Sishan's heart was disturbed after that, he knelt down immediately, and begged: "Your Majesty, I'm guilty, I was ordered by Father Qiu to show the people of the Kingdom of Jin to the Imperial Dining Room of our great country, I'm negligent, please punish me."

Listening to Ruan Sishan confessing Qiu Xing, Qiu Shangshi stared at Ruan Sishan with staring eyes. Ruan Sishan prostrated himself on the ground, not knowing that Qiu Shangshi was worried about her talking nonsense.

Seeing that the two of them panicked, the Empress Empress smiled lightly and continued: "I have said it before, you handled it well and satisfied the Emperor. Since you are meritorious persons, how can you punish them?"

Qiu Shangshi was completely panicked, the Empress only opened her mouth when she was sure, not punishing the two of them was an exchange condition for Mo Xi to leapfrog, forcing her to agree even if she didn't agree.

"My lady, according to the palace system, there are only four cooks. Now that the number of cooks is complete, Mo Xi has been promoted, and all the cooks have no faults, so who will be relegated?"

"Yesterday, Jia Sishan, who was serving the concubine Xian, resigned from the Shang Palace Bureau, and it is just a few days before he can hand over to Mo Xi."

Qiu Shangshi was dumbfounded. Jia Sishan didn't tell her about such an important matter as resigning from his hometown, and no one informed her. She glanced sideways at Chen Shangshi, only to see her pretending that she had nothing to do with her. Except for Chen Shangshi's obstruction, it's impossible for her not to know.

"Your Majesty is holy, the ministers and others will assist your Majesty and do their best to prepare the imperial meal."

Nanny Chen took the lead and knelt down to thank her, and Wang Yifu Moxi hurriedly knelt down, but Qiu Shangshi, like a puppet who had lost its backbone, knelt down one by one reluctantly, saying thank you Lord Long En feebly.

"You all kneel down, Wang Zhangshan stays here, I have something to say."

The others all retreated according to the order of the empress, and Wang Yifu stayed in the hall to wait for the empress's words. The empress took a sip of tea after a break, and asked first: "I know that you have contributed the most this time, and you didn't get anything. Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"The servant understands the painstaking efforts of the empress, and wants to let Sister Mo Xi succeed in taking up the post of secretary, how can he open his mouth like a lion, and even the servant wants to have a share."

"You're right. It's really too much for Mo Xi to be promoted to two levels, but once this opportunity is missed, it will be very difficult to get it again. After thinking about it, I have to wrong you."

"The servant understands, empress, rest assured, the servant will not take it to heart."

"Don't worry, as long as there is a chance, Dianshan's seat will be yours sooner or later."

"The servants are at their mercy."

"There is one more thing that needs you to do."

"My lady, please tell me."
