Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 2 Not the one who suffers
There is no such thing as a circle without rules, and in this huge palace, rules are even more important.

In the harem, there are many concubines, as well as many court ladies and eunuchs. No matter who they are, they must follow the rules of the harem to live.

Not to mention anything else, let's take the role of concubines as an example.

The concubines in the harem are divided into ranks. The higher the status of the concubines, the more quotas they can enjoy, and the lower the status of the concubines, the fewer quotas they can enjoy.

Su Qingning is from the sixth-grade Wanrong. According to the rules, she can enjoy three dishes and one soup for her meal. As for how the three dishes and one soup are matched, it depends on Shangshanfang's mood.

The servants in the palace always like to step on the low and praise the high. If they are favored, the three dishes and one soup will be two meat dishes, one vegetarian dish, and a bowl of thick soup.

If it is not favored, the three dishes and one soup may be vegetarian dishes. As for the soup, I don't know how much water should be added.

When Su Qingning first came, she had already fallen out of favor, but she was different from the original owner.

At that time, the original owner could only swallow her anger, and she would eat whatever the Shangshanfang gave her. Sometimes, the deduction was really outrageous, and she could only scold her in her room.

After Su Qingning came, she found out the silver brought by the original owner from outside the palace, and told Hong Jin and Hong Xiu to use some of it when they went to the dining room.

It is said that money can make ghosts turn the clock. After using the money, Su Qingning's diet has finally improved.

She is a carnivorous person, even if her soul travels, the foodie nature engraved in her bones still cannot be changed.

However, today, what should have been three dishes and one soup turned into two dishes and one soup. Among them, the meat dish that used silver was also missing. He was beaten.

Even if she has fallen out of favor with her current status, she can't let the people around her be beaten for no reason.

Thinking of this, Su Qingning looked at Hong Jin, her face became serious, "Who the hell hit you? Who took my things? If you don't tell me this time, what about the next time? Could it be that people have been bullying me all this time?" ?”

When she said that, Hong Jin couldn't help but change her face. She knelt on the ground and said to Su Qingning, "I don't dare, but I say yes, master, don't be angry."

"The servant guessed that the master was coming back, so he went to the dining room. Because the money was used, the people in the dining room were quite polite. The servant took the food box and was about to leave, but was robbed of the food box. And took away the only meat dish."

"Naturally, the servant refused, so I quarreled with that person a few times, and ended up being beaten. The one who took our things was Pei'er next to Li Wanhua."

The Li Wanhua in Hongjin's mouth lives in Qiushuiju, and she is in the same batch as the original Su Qingning.

The original owner had to be favored anyway, but this Li Wanhua, except for being favored routinely when he first entered the palace, had never seen the emperor again.

It was because of this that she was very jealous of the original owner. When the original owner was favored, she often said bitter things behind her back.

Now the original owner has fallen out of favor, although that Li Wanhua is also from the sixth rank, but because Wanhua is before Wanrong, in front of the original owner, Li Wanhua often looks arrogant.

Speaking of which, when Su Qingning was favored in the past, there were many servants around her. Since she fell out of favor, the people around her have gone away, and there are only six or seven people left in Nongyu Xiaozhu.

Hongjin and Hongxiu grew up beside her since they were young. Hongjin has a soft temper and is not as aggressive as Hongxiu. That's why she was bullied. Put yourself at a disadvantage.

Su Qingning sighed in her heart, stretched out her hand, and helped Hong Jin up, "You are wronged about this matter, don't worry, I won't let you suffer this loss for nothing."

Hongxiu stood aside, hearing what Su Qingning said, she quickly said, "Master, do you have any plans for this matter?"

Hongxiu found that since the master had been ill, her whole person had changed, and she seemed to have calmed down a lot, which she thought was a good thing.

"Since she wants to eat my food, let her eat it. I remember the medicine I took some time ago. Is there any left?"

Su Qingning came here, one is because something happened to her in modern times, and the other is because the ancient Su Qingning fell ill, or should I say, was poisoned.

Su Qingning still remembered that when she first came here, the original owner's stomach was swollen like a pregnant woman who was pregnant in October. She had the memory of the original owner and knew that she would not be able to defecate for a long time, that's why it happened.

Xu felt so ashamed, and because of the loss of favor, the original owner refused to see the imperial doctor, so that he was bloated to death. After Su Qingning came, he ordered Hongxiu to go to the imperial hospital, spent some money, and got some medicine.

After taking the medicine, she also had bowel movements. The ancient Su Qingning changed her core and became the modern Su Qingning.

"There is still leftovers of the medicine you took before, and this servant has put it away." Hearing Su Qingning's question, Hongxiu nodded.

"You bring the medicine here, and I'll tell you how to do it." Smiling, Su Qingning ordered, Hongxiu quickly responded, and took the medicine left over from before.

Su Qingning knew a thing or two about medicines. She sniffed the medicine packets one by one, and handed one of them to Hongxiu.

"Starting tonight, you go to the dining room to pick up food. You hide the medicinal powder in your nails. If someone robs the food again, and she grabs something, you take advantage of her not paying attention and put the nail that hides the medicinal powder on the table." Rinse the dishes, remember to hide more."

Looking at Hongxiu, Su Qingning handed over the method to her. After hearing Su Qingning's words, Hongxiu's eyes could not help but light up.

"Master, what kind of medicine is in here?" Holding the medicine bag in her hand, Hongxiu asked Su Qingning curiously.

"It's nothing, it's just Croton. Even if you hide a lot, it's just to make that greedy person go to the toilet a few more times. It's nothing compared to Hongjin's slap. Do you dare to do this?"

"Of course slaves dare! Master just watch!" Hearing Su Qingning's question, Hongxiu hurriedly responded.

After hearing Hongxiu's response, the smile on Su Qingning's face deepened. She asked Hongxiu to find some ointment, and helped Hongxiu rub it on her face.

The food was already cold, Su Qingning arranged the food, and beckoned Hong Jin to sit down and eat with herself.

The two were unwilling at first, Su Qingning straightened their faces, and then they sat down, it could be seen that the two of them were reserved.

After lunch, Su Qingning sat for a while, and went to take a nap in the inner room as usual. Hongjin and Hongxiu cleaned up the dishes, and then stayed in the outer room, waiting for Su Qingning's orders at any time.

In Hongxiu's hands, she was doing needlework, and she was looking forward to the arrival of evening.
