The little lady in the dining room

Chapter 105 False alarm
After the dumplings were delivered, Xie Zhao really ate them, and kept praising Ah Yao for making them well, making Ah Yao clap his little hands and jumped up and down happily.

The nearby palace people probed to see: what's so good here... I can't see much stuffing, isn't it just a piece of dough folded in half...

In the evening, there was a banquet in the Zichen Palace as usual, and Sydney didn't let A Yao go because she was afraid that she would be too tired to watch the new year, so she spent the day leisurely in the small courtyard.

Since the second day of the Lunar New Year, people have come in asking to see me through posts.

Sydney looks sad when she sees the post!

Nanny Bai was still laughing at her.Bai Momo said: "Girl, don't frown. It's common sense. They come to chat with you on His Majesty's birthday. You should find a free time to invite the ones who look pleasing to you. This is considered friendship." Come down—but didn’t you not have this interest at the beginning? People can’t figure out your pulse, so I have to come in and see you again.”

Xue Li felt so annoying, the New Year's Eve was so unstoppable, she originally planned to take A Yao to eat, drink and play every day and let this year go by!

So from the third day of the Lunar New Year to the Shangyuan Festival, people came to visit every day.Let's talk about the content, it's pretty much the same.

So after the past twelve days, Sydney has almost figured out what's going on in Luo'an City. For example, Doctor Yushi just accepted a beautiful concubine with a bit of alien blood; the second daughter of the Nangong family got married, and the eldest daughter is still there. Keep it in the mansion; His Majesty the Seventh Prince went out to build the mansion. The factions in the mansion are clear, and the Chu family and the Yi family who were given together in the past and have a good relationship in Sydney's eyes have completely turned their faces...

She just listened to most of the things casually, and the things that can be really useful to her are actually small things.

For example, rouge or red or pink are common in the palace, but the guests who came to visit her said that orange color is popular in Luoan City recently, and they said that it looks more natural and more complex than pink... Although Sydney feels a little surprised, but intends to Give it a try, and ask Dou Sha to take the money and go to the Shang Palace Bureau to entrust someone to do it.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, there is a valid reason to avoid people——Emperor Princess Ping'an's second birthday, no one should come.

The little girl herself didn't feel much about this, but the adults around her had been talking to her since a few days ago: "Diji's birthday is coming, and she's one year older!"

——Everyone told her with a smile. Listening to it, Ah Yao himself felt that this must be a very happy thing, so he was silly and happy with the adults.

So when the day came, it was rare for Sydney to be woken up by A Yao.

A Yao couldn't hold back anymore, climbed onto her couch and sat on her belly: "Auntie, Auntie! Wake up! It's Ayao's birthday!"

Xueli woke up frowning, looked at A Yao, but couldn't get out of bed again.

Little girl, you are already two years old...

Xue Li sat up with a smile and hugged her to prevent her from jumping, and Ayao giggled in her arms.After washing and having breakfast, Xue Li saw that there was another dish of fish fillet on the table that didn't look like breakfast, so she scratched A Yao's nose: "Are you so greedy for this?"

A Yao nodded in embarrassment, then slipped behind Ting Han to hide, then poked her head out and said, "A Yao didn't ask for it today! Ting Han asked for it!"

Ting Han was not afraid that she would push this responsibility, turned around and hugged her, smiled and said to Xueli: "I thought it was Diji's birthday, Diji likes to eat this recently, so I just asked the imperial dining room to prepare it. "

Xue Lixin said, little Ah Yao, are you one of the twelve zodiac signs that counts cats?
She's also been too obsessed with fish fillets lately.

This thing is to remove the bones and bones of the fish before making it, then marinate it with egg whites and various seasonings, then put the onion and ginger in the pot to saute, add carrots and fungus to enhance the color, and finally add the fish fillets to make it After it is cooked, add water to thicken it.The fish meat is tender and smooth, and the yellowish gravy is thick and attractive.

It's delicious and it's true, but Ayao has recently reached the point where he wants every meal, and he must eat rice!
Sydney is a person who occasionally feels cramped when eating steamed stuffed buns in the morning. In the past few days, I have been amazed to see her eating rice with stir-fried vegetables in the morning.Seeing her like this again today, Xueli persuaded beside me, dumbfounded: "Ah Yao, it's your birthday today, we will have a small banquet at noon, and there will be a small banquet when your father comes tonight. There are a lot of dishes at the banquet, so let's not stare at the fish." Eat the slice, okay?"

Ah Yao frowned, and looked down at the rice and fish in the bowl in the nanny's hand, as if a little bit reluctant.After struggling for a while, he still replied slowly: "Okay... then can I eat tomorrow?"

What about your future as a Di Ji?

Sydney heartily told her that yes, yes, of course, my aunt will cook this for you tomorrow, be good...

The next half day passed happily.

Recently, Sydney insisted on reading Tang poems with Ah Yao every day, and let Zixian or Qingxi listen to Han's reading when she was on duty.In fact, sometimes it can be seen that Ah Yao is impatient, but her impatient reaction is that her mouth is not very happy, and she never cries and says not to learn.

I usually read it for two minutes a day, but Sydney stopped after reading it for a minute today. Ayao was still preparing to read "A Thousand Miles of Desire" again, and Sydney hugged her and said, "Let's take you to the Animal Taming Department to play." .”

The Beast Taming Division has a lot of animals to see, but Ah Yao has only seen lions so far.

However, Xueli told her in advance that you can take her to see what you like in the future, but you can't clamor to bring it back to raise—it should become a fish-flavored snack when you bring it back.

After adding a piece of clothing, the two went out.Dou Sha made Ayao a small cloak of cherry pink satin trimmed with a circle of white fur. Ayao put it on, and then put on the hat, her little face was furry with the circle of fur, very cute—Sydney knew it Why did His Majesty love to look at her so much when he was wearing a cloak two years ago.

The little girl is really nice, her stature has not yet grown, she is cute in everything she wears.

Stepping out of the threshold, I saw a mysterious atmosphere in the courtyard.

Sydney looked up...

The six eunuchs in the courtyard were all at the door, bowing slightly and looking respectful, in fact, they were blocking the way.

Bai Momo stood behind the six people, followed by Qingxi Tinghan and four wet nurses, and Dousha took the four maids under her hand as the last circle, and the layers were tightly blocked...

Fortunately, there are two steps here, otherwise it would be difficult to see who is outside—Xue Li looked at the people outside the courtyard gate, and couldn't hold back a smile: "Mrs. Concubine Shu."

She clearly felt the small hand shrinking in her hand.

The dozen or so people surrounding the gate of the courtyard turned their heads, and after a moment of silence, Dou Sha ran up to her and said in a subdued voice, "I've been here for a while, and Mammy blocked her on the grounds that my sister was leading Di Ji to recite poems. "

Sydney: "..."

Her reaction was slow again, she didn't even notice the silence around her, and she didn't even feel that the nannies in her south room had gone out!
Concubine Shu didn't force her to come in, so she stood outside the threshold, glanced at the palace servants behind her who were also crowded, smiled and said to Xue Li: "Miss, today is A Yao's birthday, I will take her back to celebrate her birthday. "

Sydney was shocked!
This is to snatch people, if they are really taken away, it is hard to say what will happen afterwards.Even if His Majesty is in charge, nothing big will happen, this kind of tossing and tossing is not good for A Yao.

Children may not understand it, but they can feel it.

She wanted Fugui to report the letter, but looking outside, it was tightly blocked by Concubine Shu's people.She thought to herself, Mrs. Concubine Shu, you also have the guts to run to the back of the Zichen Palace to block the door of the Imperial Palace? —But such teasing is useless.

So she squatted down, smiled and said to A Yao: "A Yao, you and Dou Sha go into the house first and wait a while. Your mother and concubine will take you back to celebrate your birthday, so I have to tell her about your recent affairs."

Coax the child back first, and then she is not afraid to tear her face apart!
Xue Li had this idea, but when A Yao shook her hand, her voice was particularly aggrieved: "I don't want... I won't go back to celebrate my birthday, I'm going to the Animal Taming Department to see the puppies."

Xue Li wanted to coax her again, but the words got stuck on her lips—she noticed that A Yao's little hand was holding her very tightly, and this feeling of refusing to let go didn't seem like she was just going to play in a hurry.

Ah Yao is... scared?

She was a little surprised, she thought that Ayao was willing to stay with her because she didn't have that deep affection with Concubine Shu, but there was still some.Now it seems that he doesn't want to go back to Yuehe Palace at all, and he doesn't want to go when Concubine Shu comes to pick him up in person?
Xueli guessed what A Yao was thinking with a little palpitation, touched her small face, and said: "Then you go in and wait first. Auntie, tell your mother and concubine that we are going out today. Soon, okay?" ?”

Only then did A Yao nod her head, let go of her hesitantly, handed her hand to Dou Sha, and followed Dou Sha into the room.

Xueli walked down the stone steps, and the people who surrounded her three times made way for her. She stood in front of Mrs. Concubine Shu: "I'm really sorry, Ma'am. The servant promised to take Ayao to the animal training department to see the kittens yesterday." She's a puppy, Madam took her away now to force the servant to break the contract."

"Ms. please make arrangements." Concubine Shu held her breath, sneered, and tried to be as polite as possible, "But after all, this palace is her concubine mother, and I will celebrate her birthday well if I bring her back to Yuehe Palace, and I won't let her have a happy birthday." Not fast."

Xueli didn't comment, she sank, and only said: "Then madam, please go and tell your majesty. Your majesty told your servant to take care of Di Ji. Madam, you are her mother and concubine. It is not your fault that you took her away. It’s a decree here.”

As she spoke, her heart became more and more uncontrollable.

In fact, these words are all in vain. For a while, Mrs. Concubine Fan Shu would not be able to resist whatever she said.

She didn't care what Concubine Shu was doing today, so she made a big fuss and made trouble, but even if it was only for one day, it was absolutely impossible for her to take A Yao away.

A Yao was already scared, even if His Majesty brought her back immediately after knowing about it, the fright she should have suffered would have been over.

It's not just that Ayao will "feel" the discord between adults that she was worried about just now, but that she will be directly hurt by this incident.Maybe after this time, she will always worry about whether she will be taken back to Yuehe Palace again, which is too bad for her.

Xue Li weighed the importance, her heart was in a mess, and she forced a smile on her face: "If it's not convenient for your people to leave, I can send people from here, ma'am."

Concubine Shu sneered, and as soon as she said "female officer", she heard a clear voice behind her: "Mrs. Concubine Shu?"

The people who were on the verge of sword-fighting followed the prestige, and Xue Li was also taken aback: "Miss Liangyuan?"

good things good things!Whether she can help or not, it's a good thing to have an outsider right now!Concubine Shu is a sister-in-law, so she can't tear herself apart in front of Yi Liangyuan!

Yi Liangyuan, who was carrying Ah Yao's birthday gift in her hand, was confused, and after a moment of stupefaction, she handed the things in her hand to the servant girl. As if she couldn't see the formation behind Concubine Shu, she walked through the crowd and entered the courtyard gate.

She asked Sydney: "What's going on?"

"I meant to take Ah Yao to the Beast Taming Division..." As soon as Xue Li finished speaking, Yi Liangyuan said, "That's right, I waited for a long time in front of Zichen Palace with A Test in my arms, and A Test came again. I was sleepy, so I had to ask His Highness to take him into the palace first."

Sydney: "...?"

It was still Bai Momo who reacted quickly, she heard the words "Ouch", and then smiled apologetically: "This is really...it's strange that I didn't expect you to bring your highness in together! I heard you and Miss Ruan say that they would bring Ayao We went to the Animal Taming Division together, thinking that you will not be greedy to see these two animals, so you didn't mention this matter to Mrs. Concubine Shu."

When she said this, Sydney also reacted!

Concubine Concubine Shu who is acting as a play...you are very quick to get into the play!
So Concubine Shu outside the small courtyard looked at the few people inside with a blank face, nodding and bowing to each other.

Sydney said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, and it's not entirely because Mrs. Concubine Shu happened to be here at this moment. I also overslept this morning. Please forgive me, Mrs. Liangyuan."

Yi said, "It's okay, I understand. It's tiring to take care of the children. I didn't sleep well last night. If it wasn't for A Yao's birthday, I wouldn't be able to get up."

Then Bai Momo responded from the side: "Hey, hey, I'm so sorry, please have a cup of tea when you come inside, don't get cold outside."

After a few sentences, even a few nannies followed the train of thought, pulled Yi Shi and said, "Miss, are you a new mother? The slaves will tell you how to take care of the child!"

Concubine Shu was so blocked that she couldn't speak a word.Especially this Yi Shi and her are still considered sisters-in-law, she can want to rob someone here, but it's not good for Yi Shi to tear her face and insist on stopping her.

She really didn't dare touch Yi Shi - His Royal Highness's concubine, the birth mother of His Royal Highness's eldest son, she could only be polite.

So after they greeted each other for a while, Concubine Shu said through gritted teeth, "Then I won't bother you any more", turned around and left.

The cold sweat on Sydney's back!
Without waiting for her to say more, Fugui went out and rushed towards the Zichen Palace.Yi Shi and Xue Li entered the house together, A Yao immediately ran out of the room, anxious and worried: "Auntie!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Xue Li smiled and hugged her to coax her, "Auntie said a few words to your seventh aunt, and I will take you there later, ah."

Yi also smiled, bent down and asked, "Do you remember Aunt Seven?"

In fact, Ah Yao hadn't met her a few times, and when he heard the word "Seventh Aunt", he was a little impressed, so he called out: "Seventh Aunt!"

This is Yi's second time helping Ah Yao.But the two sat down, but still had nothing to say.

The past grievances didn't just go away, and Xueli still didn't know what she was thinking these two times.

They each drank tea in silence for a while, and it was Yi who said first: "Miss Ruan, you... don't worry about anything."

Xueli didn't say much, let alone perfunctory her by saying that she didn't have any, and just waited quietly for her to continue talking.

Yi was a little embarrassed, and lowered her head for a while: "It was because I was about to leave the palace to build a mansion, so I went to bid farewell to the two wives. When I arrived at Yuehe Palace, I heard Diji crying hard. It is said that children cry It's nothing...but seeing that Concubine Shu can still talk and laugh happily with me in the main hall, I feel that Diji must be doing badly."

Mrs. Yi herself is also a mother, how could she hear this?That day when she heard it in Yuehe Palace, she almost had hallucinations. She always felt that it was her own child crying, and the more she thought about it when she went back, the more she couldn't bear it. She made up her mind to get Diji out.

Yi said again: "That time I was a bit abrupt. But I... I thought that if I delay for one more day, Di Ji will be wronged for one more day. I don't dare to go directly to His Majesty, and His Highness has a short temper. I'm afraid he will make things too big..."

So after thinking about it for a long time, she had to find Sydney.Everyone knew that when Madam Lu was pregnant, Sydney was by her side, and she could only hope that Sydney would take care of her.

Only then did Sydney understand the twists and turns here.These days, she really doesn't understand this when she thinks about it, and she is afraid that what Yi Shi said is just a cover, and there is something behind.

But she is not good at dealing with this, so she can only be so afraid.Nanny Bai actually gave her some advice, asking her to take the initiative to invite Mrs. Yi to come in and have a chat.

But Xue Li didn't dare, she was afraid that the trouble would come sooner if she took the initiative to cause trouble-not to mention anything else, just say that Yi Shi came to her place, can she have tea?Have a snack?If you say that you ate something bad after you go back, you can't tell!

Now, she feels more at ease.

Yi Shi hesitated and shook her hand: "What I said that day is also true. Since you and His Highness are friends, it's normal to want to walk around... I won't be stingy."

On this day, Xueli, Yi Shi, the emperor, and the Seven Kings were the beast tamers who went together. The shock of the battle scared the palace staff of the beast tamers so much that they dared not look up.
The eldest son of the Seven Kings took the word "test" from the Ministry of Water according to the genealogy, and the Seven Kings complained to the emperor in a low voice: "Brothers, you are not kind—the elder brothers who had children first chose all the good-sounding and beautiful characters. That's all, my brother asked, did you call and save a few for later use? Is this a priority?"

Xie Zhao looked at him with a calm face: "Isn't the word 'test' not bad? It's as deep as it gets."

Xie Hanxin is talking nonsense!I'm also very selective, okay?

But Ayao didn't care about that, she saw that her little brother was being held by the nanny all the time, and she also circled around Xie Ce's nanny, pointing at any interesting animals she saw and saying, "Ah Che, Ah Che, look..."

Her voice was tender, and even the grown-ups thought that "A Test" sounded pretty good.

But A Test himself ignored his sister, he was sleeping soundly on the nurse's shoulder, and it didn't matter to him if there was any movement around him.As for seeing animals or something... he hasn't reached the point where he's interested in that.

So peaceful...

Looking at the little back of A Yao running ahead, and looking at the two brothers who have been talking behind, Xue Li suddenly felt extremely relaxed today.

It seems that since entering the palace, it has never been so easy.
