Dressed like a loser and went to raise a baby

Chapter 430: Great tonic for beauty and beauty
Wang Xin sent someone to send a message to the Imperial Dining Room and Bai Jieyu. After the Imperial Dining Room received the message, he immediately sent someone to Lengxiang Palace to ask what dishes Lengxiang Palace wanted for lunch and evening, and they delivered it immediately.

At the same time, I also understood that the rules in the harem were made for the concubines, not the beloved concubines.

Baiyun Palace

Bai Jieyu sat on the Luohan bed and watched as the most capable nanny beside her humbly escorted Xiaoluzi's father-in-law out of the palace gate.

Don't do unnecessary things, this is what the emperor asked Xiao Luzi to preach.

Everyone in the harem except Lengxiang Palace had a small kitchen, and the emperor agreed to advocate frugality in the harem. However, she just acted according to the rules and banned the small kitchen in Lengxiang Palace, but she got such a sentence.

It is a good thing to be frugal in the harem, but it is superfluous to ask Lengxiang Palace to be frugal. The emperor is so double-standard and unfair. Is this the treatment of a beloved concubine?
Bai Jieyu bit her lower lip, her eyes red with jealousy.

Bai Jieyu calmed herself down, asked the palace maid to get some water, cleansed her face and made up, and took her personal palace maid to the imperial study.

The emperor had said such things, so naturally she had to explain to the emperor, lest the emperor think that she was deliberately targeting Lengxiang Palace.

Imperial study room

"Your Majesty, I'd like to see Bai Jieyu." The little eunuch who was standing outside the royal study walked into the room with his head lowered and reported.

"Xuan." Feng Chenghan lowered his head to approve the memorial without even raising his head.

The little eunuch exited the imperial study, and Bai Jieyu came in after a while.

"I pay my respects to the Emperor." Bai Jieyu said with a look of grievance on her face.

"Exemption."

Bai Jieyu felt a pang in her heart when she saw the emperor lowering his head to approve the memorial without even looking at her. Could it be that none of them, except Concubine Leng, could impress the emperor?

"I have received the message from the emperor. I am afraid that the emperor will misunderstand, so I came here to explain to the emperor. No one in the harem has a small kitchen and advocates frugality. Only Sister Leng has a small kitchen in the palace. It is still the same as before. Nothing has changed." Bai Jieyu frowned, looking embarrassed, "I was afraid that there would be criticism in the harem, so they all followed the example of Sister Leng Fei in opening a small kitchen, and the trend of extravagance gradually started, so I ordered the imperial dining room not to be cold. Shang Palace delivers food, so that Sister Leng Fei is the same as the sisters in the harem.”

"There is no intention to target Lengxiang Palace." Bai Jieyu's words were sincere and a little aggrieved, as if she was all about convincing the public, being frugal, and managing the harem well.

Feng Chenghan still didn't raise his head and looked at the information in the Xizhou newspaper and said, "If you go to the imperial kitchen and ask, how much food does Lengxiang Palace need every day? Is there any amount that exceeds the daily meal for the concubine and the prince?" ? You won’t say that opening a small kitchen in Lengxiang Palace is not frugal, but will also attract people to imitate it and lead to extravagance."

Bai Jieyu was startled. She really hadn't asked. She also preconceived the idea that opening a small kitchen would provide better and more abundant food than the imperial dining room. Otherwise, who would bother to open a small kitchen?

But from what the emperor said, it seems that the small kitchen in Lenghxiang Palace does not cost as much money as a concubine and a prince.

"I was negligent. I acted hastily without asking questions first. It's my fault. Please punish me." Bai Jieyu immediately admitted her mistake and asked for punishment.

In fact, this is not a big deal, and she doesn't have to be like this, but she doesn't want to leave a bad impression on the emperor and make him feel that she is not suitable for managing the harem, so the attitude of admitting her mistake must be profound and positive.

"Get up! Just be careful from now on and don't do unnecessary things." He knew very well whether Bai Jieyu was targeting Lengxiang Palace. She just found a suitable excuse for her targeting.

"Yes." Bai Jieyu lowered her head and stood up, biting her lower lip lightly. The emperor did not believe her.

Bai Jieyu stood for a while. Seeing that the emperor had nothing to say to her and no time to pay attention to her, she resigned.

After leaving the Imperial Study Room, they went to Yiyun Palace. Concubine Li was more energetic today so I met her.

As soon as Bai Jieyu saw Concubine Li, she complained all over the place and how she tried her best to manage the harem.She also said that Yiyun Palace didn’t even have a small kitchen, and it was against the rules for Lengxiang Palace to open a small kitchen. She did it for the sake of frugality and to make the harem harmonious, but the emperor couldn’t understand it. Saying that, it seemed like she was targeting Leng Xiang. Like a fragrant palace.

Concubine Li comforted her and said that the emperor would understand her painstaking efforts one day. "Hey... I hope so!" Bai Jieyu sighed, blinked the mist in her eyes, looked at Concubine Li and said, "Sister Concubine Li, I am really worthless for you, look at you, I sacrificed my life to save the emperor, but besides making you a royal concubine, the emperor has visited you twice and given you nothing else."

"On the other hand, Concubine Leng has done nothing, but she is favored by the emperor. Concubine Leng's popularity in the harem and among the people has eclipsed her sister's, and her concubines are all aggrieved on behalf of her sister."

Concubine Li tightened her sleeves and clenched her fists, but she still shook her head and maintained a smile on her face.

Although she knew that Bai Jieyu said such words just to encourage her to deal with Concubine Leng so that she could reap the benefits, she was also really jealous and hateful, and she also resented the emperor in her heart.

Bai Jieyu sat for a while longer before leaving Yiyun Palace.

Not long after she left, Jingyu walked in carrying a food box.

Because there is ice inside to keep the contents inside, the surface of the food box is also covered with a burst of water droplets.

"Mother, I got the things back." Jing Yu said cautiously, lowering his head.

"Can you tell me how to eat it?" Concubine Li asked, feeling a little nauseous thinking about the contents of the food box.

"I told you," Jing Yu replied, "You can make soup or chop it into fillings to make dumplings."

"How would you like to eat, Madam?"

"Let's make dumplings and eat them!" He could still eat some without seeing her.

"Your servant will do it."

"Go."

Jingyu exited the main hall and went to the small kitchen at the back. He endured nausea and opened the lid of the food box and took out the contents.

Although the people inside the Yun Mansion had cleaned everything inside, she could still smell a strong fishy smell.

Seeing the greasy mess on the plate, she couldn't help but retch.

She was disgusted by looking at such a thing, and the empress still wanted to eat it. Although it was a good thing for beautifying and replenishing the body, she also felt that the empress who ate it was a bit scary.

Jing Yu retched and washed the thing several times, but the greasy mucus still couldn't be washed away, so he could only chop it into a stuffing with ginger and green onion, which also suppressed the smell.

After mixing the stuffing, kneading the dough and rolling out the dough, and making the dumplings, it was just time for lunch.

Boil it in a pot, put it in a white porcelain soup cup, cover it and bring it to the main hall.

Lunch was also laid out in the main hall. Jing Yu placed the soup cup in front of Concubine Li, opened the lid and stepped aside.

A fishy smell hit her face, and Concubine Li frowned, "Why is it so fishy?"

"My slave has already put a lot of ginger in the soup, but it's just not in the soup cup. The family said that this one is more fishy, ​​so I have to bear with it," Jing Yu explained cautiously. I'm afraid that the empress will blame the fishy dumplings on her head.

Hearing this, Concubine Li held the spoon and scooped up a round dumpling. After a moment of hesitation, she put the dumpling into her mouth with firm eyes.
