Stepmother Shaoguang

"Among the grown-up princes, King Zheng has been married for many years, and the second prince has an illness. The saint didn't say anything to the emperor's eldest grandson, but was anxious.

What's more, Concubine Zheng has a deep relationship with Zheng Wang and his wife, and she wants to give birth to an heir for the prince as soon as possible, so this child is the one that everyone is eagerly looking forward to. "

He Shaoguang paused, and told her not to go out and talk nonsense.

"You can't go out and say that."

Chunzao responded perfectly, she is young, but smart, everyone in Qiangwei Garden likes her and regards her as a younger sister.

He Shaoguang was afraid that if she didn't close the door, everything would be bald.

"Okay, let's go and see what good dishes are in the kitchen today. I want to eat some fresh vegetables today, not too greasy."

He Shaoguang patted the folds on his sleeves and asked Chunzao to order food.

Chunzao took the job and went out happily carrying a small food basket.

Every time you order meals, you can play freely on the road for a while.

She is young, and she has a sweeter mouth with Master Tian, ​​and she can occasionally get an extra sweet soup as a snack.

Especially now that she is the most famous servant girl next to the second lady, every time she sees the once majestic Chunkui in the kitchen, disheveled, she feels happy.

When Chun Kui saw Chun Zao, who was getting better and better these days, she hid behind the stove and stared at her with stern eyes, wishing she could eat her alive.

Chun Kui went into the kitchen to do rough work, and she was so tired that she sweated profusely every day. Not only did she not lose weight, she also ate a lot because she was so hungry, her body became stronger and stronger.

Every time Chunzao comes, she carries an exquisite food basket, which is as dexterous as a swallow under the eaves, so Chunkui's jealous heart is eager to move.

But with her current status, she can't do anything to her anymore.

The kitchen of the Lu family was full of heat, but the kitchen of Prince Zheng's mansion was like ice.

Today, King Zheng moved out of the palace with Princess Zheng and went back to the mansion to recuperate. The first thing he did was to clean up the kitchen drastically.

The two cooks who took care of the pregnant princess, including their apprentices and vegetable washers, were all tied up in front of King Zheng's long entourage——King Zheng, they are not qualified to see them.

Wei Ying has followed him since he was a child, and is his right-hand man, who has the right to deal with these people.

He was also unambiguous, and the interrogation took a long time.

The cook surnamed Shen had a timid look in his eyes, and when he saw something ghostly, he singled him out as a trap.

Sure enough, Chef Shen showed his cheating back and forth, crying and beckoning.

To say that Chef Shen was brought out from the palace by King Zheng. He used to help the cook in the imperial dining room and has more than ten years of experience. It is enough to manage the food in a palace, so King Zheng appointed him when he opened the mansion.

But no matter how good the palace is, some people just want to live in the palace and hope that one day they will be successful.

Chef Shen has worked as a helper for more than ten years, and seeing that he is about to take the helm, he is unwilling to be sent to the palace at once.

In addition, he was middle-aged, and the boy in the family was also an apprentice in the imperial dining room. He heard that he was condemned by the empress in the palace one day, and she was the empress who raised the prince. Ant, begging someone to find out in the palace is the concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu let his son go, but asked him to do something for her.

King Zheng couldn't know what Concubine Shu was thinking, didn't she just want Gao to be bad, or the child she gave birth to would be bad, and she detested Gao, so her niece would be good?

madness.

King Zheng sneered when he heard what Wei Ying said back and forth.

"Follow me to see the side concubine."

King Zheng summoned Jilan and Dezhen, the two court ladies who had served him since childhood, and they brought them with them when they left the palace, both of them were calm and experienced.

When Zheng Wang arrived at the Purple Bamboo Garden where Xiao Yan lived, Xiao Yan was making incense in the house to pass the time.

The fresh fruity scent and the strong floral scent were mixed together. King Zheng smelled this smell and glanced at her hands, which were covered with powder.

"Yan'er is so elegant, the smell of this fragrance suits you very well."

King Zheng smiled lightly, not at all intending to come to Xingshi to question his guilt.

"Pray for your lord."

Xiao Yan didn't clean her hands, and saluted with blessings.

It was rare for King Zheng not to help her up, but to sit quietly on top, watching her salute, and watching her squat down.

"There are two cooks in the house today, if Yan'er is not used to the new cook's food, you can tell me."

King Zheng spoke lightly, with a normal tone.

Xiao Yan answered mechanically: "Thank you, my lord, for your compassion, I'm used to it."

"Why does Yan'er have such a relationship with this king?" Zheng Wang showed a wry smile, "The concubine Shu has worked so hard for you to be able to sing with this king."

Xiao Yan's hands froze, and for the sake of her aunt's face, she softened her tone and said, "My lord, please don't believe other people's slander. The Xiao family doesn't do such things, and I don't care."

King Zheng nodded: "I naturally believe in Yan'er. I see that there are too few people serving you here, and it's not decent. Jilan has been reliable in serving me since I was a child. I will follow you from now on."

After saying these words, the beating was also beating, and the eyeliner was also placed, so King Zheng got up to see the princess.

Jilan stayed in Zizhuyuan, living with Mingxue, the girl who was in Prince Yan's mansion back then.

While Jilan was packing her luggage, Xiao Yan's close maid, Yushan, asked softly, "The side concubine...the prince said to trust us, why did he push people in?"

Xiao Yan's tone was sarcasm, she didn't know whether it was self-deprecating or mocking King Zheng's inconsistency: "If he really believed in me, he wouldn't make such a trip today. That's all right, hurry up and clean up these incense ashes, it smells bad, tomorrow Retune again."

Yushan is not worried about Xiao Yan's situation, anyway, the Xiao family is still the same Xiao family, even if King Zheng's mother and concubine became a concubine of virtue and ranked first among the four concubines, it cannot be compared with the Xiao family.

Concubine Shunde has been worried about gain and loss since she became a concubine and moved to the palace. She was afraid that the congratulations of these concubines were all her dreams.

All the people in the palace were polite to her, only one person was still domineering: Concubine Xiao Shu.

However, she has nothing to dissatisfy. Concubine Xiao Shu doesn't respect the empress when she meets someone, so how can she expect her to treat her well?
However, Concubine Shunde still trembled a little, and slowly took on the appearance of a high-ranking concubine, able to scold the concubines below, not as cautious as before.

This day, she was dissatisfied that the cakes made by the imperial dining room were not exquisite enough, so she was perfunctory and asked the maid Mei Qian to order a new one from the dining room.

In the imperial dining room, Mei Qian ran into Yuxiang, the eldest court lady next to Concubine Shu. Yuxiang was pushed back by her, and she was unhappy.

She taunted in a strange way: "Some people fly up to the branches and really think they have become a phoenix. I just don't know, is this pheasant used to eating chaff?"

Mei Qian blushed and told Concubine Shunde about today's incident when she returned home.

Concubine Shunde held her handkerchief, and after a long silence, she said: "Forget it, you go to the mansion, invite the side concubine, and tell me that I am sick and need someone to take care of me."

Concubine Zheng is not confinement, so there is no need to come, and the two concubines are not qualified to come, so the task of serving the sick falls on Xiao Yan alone.

Moving in two days!Just a little bit more, my dears, please forgive me
