Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 347 Wives and Concubines
The summer solstice, which was supposed to be the most yang-rich day of the year, unexpectedly ushered in bursts of thunder.

Zhao Wangshu stood in the corridor and looked up at the sky. He saw dark clouds and rumbling thunder, which seemed to be the roar of nature, indicating the coming storm.

But thunder has been blowing all morning, but the rain has not yet fallen. Only the wind has brought some coolness, which has slightly alleviated the scorching summer heat.

"Young madam, the hand-made noodles are ready." Lan Fen came over with a bowl of steaming noodles, interrupting Zhao Wangshu's meditation.

Luzhi hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Zhao Wangshu, "Young madam, come inside and eat some noodles."

"You need to eat Summer Solstice noodles during the Summer Solstice. If you eat Summer Solstice noodles, a day will be shortened by a thread." Zhao Wangshu muttered as he slowly entered the east bedroom.

The noodles are as slender as silk, and the soup base is rich and fragrant. It is also sprinkled with green scallions and a few slices of fresh cucumber, which makes people salivate.

Zhao Wangshu picked up the chopsticks, gently picked up a noodle, and put it into his mouth.

The noodles are smooth and delicious, and the soup base is so delicious that you will have endless aftertaste.

After eating the noodles, Zhao Wangshu let the green branches support her and walked on the corridor. After walking for a while, the thunder stopped.

Zhao Wangshu felt sleepy coming over him, yawned slightly and said to Luzhi: "I'm a little sleepy and want to sleep for a while."

Luzhi helped her back to her room, made the bed, and helped her lie down before quietly exiting, closing the door gently, and doing needlework in the outer room.

In the summer afternoon, the wind blew away the clouds, and the sun shone down, casting mottled light and shadow all over the ground.

In the room, Zhao Wangshu's breathing gradually stabilized and he fell into a deep sleep.

Baojun Princess Qin Youzi, who was also pregnant and sleepy, was not so comfortable. She was woken up as soon as she lay down.

"What's going on?" Qin Youzi asked sharply.

The maid came in and said: "Princess, this is Concubine Liu. She said that the bird's nest soup brought to her on the stove was not stewed with the best bird's nest, but with inferior bird's nest. She was making a fuss in the yard and said that you Treat your concubines harshly."

Qin Youzi's head ached. "Last time, she was quarreling over a piece of cloth. This time, she is quarreling over a bird's nest. She won't be able to live in peace for a day."

"My slave, I have to say something disrespectful. She is a country girl with short eyesight, and she only fights over these little things." The slave girl said disdainfully.

Qin Youzi got off the bed, put on her outer clothes, sat down on the Arhat couch in the outer room, and said with a cold face: "Bring her in!"

"Yes!" The maid quickly brought Liu Loya in.

Liu Loya came in and blessed her body perfunctorily, then treated Qin Youzi as a gift and asked: "Princess, I know you don't like me, but I don't want anything, just a piece of food. You're trying to embarrass me, it's too much. What can I say, she is also the prince's concubine, and she is on the royal jade certificate, you are too humiliating.

"Concubine Liu, you said that this princess is embarrassing you and humiliating you. What evidence is there?" Qin Youzi looked at Liu Loya, who was still dressed in rich clothes but still dressed in a rustic style, with a flash of disgust in his eyes.

Concubine Liu pointed at the bird's nest soup held by her maid and said, "I drink this bird's nest soup every day. You can tell it. Today's bowl of bird's nest soup is not made from top-quality bird's nests, but from inferior bird's nests. Isn't this okay?" Isn’t it an embarrassment or a humiliation?”

The nanny next to Qin Youzi stood up and said, "Concubine Liu, the bird's nests were sent to the kitchen by the old slave. Your bird's nest soup and the princess's bird's nest soup all use that pack of bird's nests. Why don't you try it again?" Taste, distinguish carefully, and do not mistake fine chaff for coarse chaff.”

This remark was not only full of sarcasm, but also straightforward enough. Liu Yaya understood it and scolded: "Slave dog, you are so brave. You dare to scold me for saying that wild boars cannot eat fine chaff. I must report this to you." "My lord, I will beat you to death with a stick." "Concubine Liu is so majestic." Qin Youzi sneered, "You keep saying that this princess is embarrassing you and humiliating you, but you can't produce any evidence. , How is it appropriate to make such a fuss?”

"This bowl of bird's nest soup is the evidence. If the princess doesn't give me an explanation, I won't let it go." Liu Loach said loudly.

Qin Youzi has not slept well since she became pregnant. She finally fell asleep today and was woken up again. She had a severe headache. Looking at the arrogant Liu Loya, she became angry and said, "That's enough. Since Liu If the concubine is so insistent, I will give you an explanation."

After saying that, Qin Youzi turned to look at her grandma and ordered: "Go and bring the people from the kitchen, and also bring the uncooked bird's nests."

"Yes, Princess." Mammy responded, turned around and walked out of the yard.

Liu Loya raised her chin and looked at the sky. Now that she has entered the palace and became a concubine, even if the prince ignores her, so what, she is the prince's savior. No one in this mansion can neglect her.

Soon, grandma came with the people from the kitchen, holding a bag of bird's nests in her hands.

Qin Youzi looked at the people in the kitchen and asked, "Did you take this bird's nest from Grandma Sun?"

"Princess, yes." The man in the kitchen replied respectfully.

"Are you using this bag of bird's nests to stew bird's nest soup for me and Concubine Liu?" Qin Youzi asked again.

"Yes, Princess." The person in the kitchen nodded.

Qin Youzi looked at Liu Loya and said, "Concubine Liu, what else do you have to say now?"

"They are your people, so of course they will follow your words." Liu Loya couldn't taste the best or inferior bird's nests at all. She just deliberately caused trouble.

"Concubine Liu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense." The steward of the kitchen was not happy to hear what she said. "This old slave is a servant of the palace. He serves his master and does his best. The princess ordered the old slave to use the best bird's nest for him." The concubine's bird's nest soup, the old slave will never dare to deceive the master by pretending to be inferior."

"Besides, the old slave personally watched Concubine Liu's bird's nest soup being stewed. After it was stewed, the old slave personally brought it to Concubine Liu. It did not pass through other people's hands. If Concubine Liu was suspicious, , you can ask a doctor to examine the bird's nest to see if it is a top quality bird's nest or a second-rate bird's nest."

Liu Loya was speechless by her mammy. Of course she didn't dare to ask a doctor for a test. If the test came out with no problem, wouldn't she be making unreasonable troubles and framed the princess?

Qin Youzi felt very happy when she saw Liu Loya's deflated appearance. She had long disliked Liu Loya, but because she was the prince's benefactor, she had been holding back and not having an attack.

"Concubine Liu, if you have nothing else to do, please come back. I still need to rest." Qin Youzi said.

Liu Loya didn't get any good out of the trouble, so he stomped his feet angrily and walked away.

"Things that can't be put on the table." Qin Youzi looked at her back and cursed disdainfully.

"Princess, are you okay?" Grandma saw that her face looked ugly.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." Qin Youzi rubbed her temples.

"Princess, please go to bed quickly and rest." Mammy and the maid quickly helped her back to the inner room and lay down.
