After the crazy criticism of the prince ascending the throne, I can't escape

Chapter 3 003, the little fool who crossed the river and demolished the bridge
After lunch, Rong Qingzhang sent Ying Lili away.

He came to the study alone.

On the wall on the left side of the study, there is a portrait of a woman in palace dress.

The woman in the painting has a slender figure and a beautiful appearance. She is the late Concubine Yu.

Rong Qingzhang didn't know why the emperor father and concubine mother were divorced back then.

I only remember that on New Year's Eve that year, my mother returned to Guanju Palace in a daze, and then the forbidden army surrounded Guanju Palace.

The next day, an imperial decree spread throughout the front and rear palaces.

The noble concubine of the dynasty, the Sheng family, was proud of being favored. She controlled the harem and was indistinguishable from the loyal and the villainous.

That year, Rong Qingzhang had just turned six years old.

Although Concubine Yugui passed away early last year.

But in Rong Qingzhang's heart, he lost his mother when he was six years old.

The grievances between father and mother did not affect him.

However, everyone knows that the Seventh Prince is as precious as his mother.

Now that his mother has fallen out of favor, his status as the seventh prince will naturally plummet.

Two years ago, the empress passed away, and now the harem is ruled by the second prince's biological mother Zheng Guifei, and the second prince's status is now at its peak.

I learned from my uncle that nearly half of the current courtiers prefer the second prince to succeed him as the crown prince.

It's just that the father never made a statement.

As for himself, does he have any thoughts about the throne.

There is no such thing at the moment, so it’s hard to say in the future.

Picking up a pen to write a page, I heard the sound of "Duk Tuk" coming from outside the window.

The young man looked up out of the window, his beautiful peach eyes were cast with a little shadow.

He raised his foot forward, pushed open the window, and saw Ying Lili at a glance.

"Little chestnut, what are you doing?"

According to the sound, Ying Lili is holding a handful of "grass", and her beautiful almond eyes look weird.

It's a pity that he was a little fool when he opened his mouth.

"Your Highness, I found wild vegetables."

Rong Qingzhang folded his arms on the window frame, letting go of the hostility in his heart, "What wild vegetables?"

"Bitter vegetables." Tossing the wild vegetables in his hands, Ying Lili said: "It can be served cold, but we don't open the fire in Guanju Palace. You can wash and dry them and soak them in water to drink, to clear away heat and detoxify."

"You know how to cook?" The little fool asked twice.

He thought it was funny, she really didn't like the food in the imperial dining room.

It's just that the little girl who was born in poverty, how many delicious meals she had eaten, dared to despise the royal chef in the palace.

"Yes!" Ying Lili continued to look for wild vegetables, "The meals in the Duke's Mansion are delicious, and the palace uses too much oil and salt."

Before entering the palace with Duke Sheng, I was a little bit looking forward to it.

This is the imperial palace, the court meals should be very good.

Unexpectedly, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

Very salty and greasy.

As for the duck in sauce at noon, when the master finishes using it, when it comes to her, it will be half a mouthful of oil in one bite.

A greasy person is nauseated.

Rong Qingzhang doesn't pay much attention to appetite.

Now that he is still in the three-year filial piety period, he can't eat big fish and meat, and he can't move a few chopsticks for each meal, so he rewards Yuan Nanny and others.

"Your Highness, do you really want me to keep watch at night?" She frowned, her small face was a little... ugly.

Rong Qingzhang hooked his fingers.

She walked forward with a handful of vegetables in her hand.

As soon as she got close, the boy stretched out his arm and touched her forehead with his fingertips.

"Don't frown, it's not good-looking in the first place, and it's even uglier when you frown, it's unsightly."

Ying Lili almost didn't laugh out of anger.

To say she is ugly?
Well, sort of.

The little girl started working as soon as she could walk, and was later sold by her parents and elders.

She woke up in the Datong shop of the Duke's Mansion, with dark skin and shorter than the children of the same age in later generations.

I don't know if the environment in the palace can support people, but I hope it will grow in a few years.

She doesn't want to grow up from a clown.

"You despise my Highness?" Rong Qingzhang raised his eyebrows, looking condescending, quite imposing.

In other words, he is obviously only a ten-year-old boy, but he gives people a rather mature feeling.

The key is not to make people feel inconsistent.

Ying Lili lamented that the ancients were really scary.

"No." She didn't dare to say even if she hated it, "I'm just worried that I'll have nightmares and yell at night, and it won't be good to scare His Highness."

"It's okay, I don't despise you." Rong Qingzhang felt that he was a very tolerant master.

The corner of Ying Lili's mouth pressed down, "Your Highness is really a kind person."

The Seventh Highness, the good man, seemed to have hallucinations for a moment.

The little fool in front of him was a milk cat, the tail that was wagging happily, suddenly drooped down because of his low mood.

Inexplicably pitiful.

"Although you have to watch the night, you can use the small kitchen in Guanju Palace." This is Rong Qingzhang's rare "kindness".

The originally sluggish little fool suddenly raised his head, the light in his almond eyes was bright and bright.

"Your Highness is really a good person." Ying Lili waved at him excitedly, and quickly ran away with the bitter vegetables in her hands, "Don't disturb His Highness's study, I'll go find Nanny Yuan."

Rong Qingzhang: "..."

Very good, a little fool who crossed the river and demolished the bridge.

Ying Lili trotted all the way, and soon found Nanny Yuan.

Seeing the little girl with no manners, Nanny Yuan felt a pain in her head, as if she was wearing a tight band that was constantly shrinking.

"Mommy!" the little girl called her crisply.

"Pay attention to your manners, do you want me to teach you the rules yourself?" Nanny Yuan scolded coldly.

Ying Lili hurriedly stood up straight, "Nurse, Your Highness said that we can cook meals in the small kitchen."

Nanny Yuan opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

But since His Highness agreed, she could only obey.

"Can you cook?" Mammy asked.

Anyway, she doesn't know how to do it, at best she can make some snacks.

A good sister who passed away many years ago, but she is very good at cooking.

Ying Lili nodded hurriedly, "Mammy, let's start the fire tonight."

Nanny Yuan felt that this girl would die of eating sooner or later.

Since Ying Lili ran away, Rong Qingzhang didn't see this little fool all afternoon.

I asked the little eunuch who was serving me personally, and learned that the little fool was busy washing in the small kitchen.

Unfortunately, His Highness and Nanny Yuan had the same idea.

Then I thought it would be good to reopen the small kitchen, at least I don't have to worry about being cut off.

Whether the meal is good or not, he doesn't care much.

Maybe it used to matter.

At this moment, Ying Lili was very happy, she ran back and forth to fetch water from the well in Guanju Palace, and when she came back, she carefully cleaned the small kitchen.

Thinking of not having to eat the meal in the imperial dining room at night, the joy in my heart is hard to suppress.

"Mommy!" Holding a bowl she was washing, she leaned over to Nanny Yuan, and said in a low voice, "Is the food at the other nobles' meals so unpalatable?"

Not surprisingly, she was glared at by Nanny Yuan.

"Staying in Guanju Palace, I have wronged you."

Ying Lili shivered.

Well, this tone is really a hermaphrodite.

"Don't be angry, Mammy, I don't mean to disrespect His Highness, but I feel wronged for His Highness because the food delivered by the Imperial Dining Room is so unpalatable."

Nanny Yuan stared at her big eyes, it was really clean inside, and the anger in her heart gradually dissipated.

"In this palace, most people are good at flattering the high and stepping down the low. You are new here, learn slowly, and sooner or later you will understand."

After all, Nanny Yuan went out.

Later, she had to ask the eunuch to go to the imperial dining room to pick up today's meat and vegetables.

I still have to ask His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness whether the dinner tonight will be served in the Imperial Dining Room or by that little girl.
