Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 365 Xiao An Enters the Palace
Concubine Wu deserves to be known for her straightforward temper, she ignored the fact that she was the only one with the lowest position in the hall, and she was the first to smile and said, "Empress Dowager, my concubine feels that I have aged a lot recently, and I am looking around for beauty prescriptions. This miraculous thing, how about the empress dowager give a jar of this honey to my concubine?"

The other concubines drink tea, drink tea, and eat dim sum. They seem to be very indifferent on the surface, but in their hearts, they can't wait to praise Concubine Wu. The queen mother always rewards generously. Well, if Concubine Wu asks for it in public again, she will definitely not refute her face.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother laughed and said, "You guys are all so young and beautiful, and you're still claiming to be old, and you're trying to snatch this strange thing from Ai's family. Are you even older than Ai's family? Forget it, let's share a can and go back." , and send a can of the rest to Concubine Lan."

The concubines were overjoyed, Qi Qi got up and thanked with a coquettish smile, and was very happy for a while, accepted the small blue and white pot offered by the maid, and fondled it again and again.

Seeing that it was getting late outside, Mu Ai waited for everyone to calm down, then took Simba's hand and said, "Mother, Empress, Simba seems to have lost weight by two points, it seems that he felt a little uncomfortable with the diet in the palace for a while. The maid in my family is skilled in cooking and is familiar with this child's taste, so I wonder if it is possible to send someone to the palace to take care of his daily diet?"

The queen mother frowned slightly. The palace is not an ordinary place. This is the residence of the royal family. The eunuchs and maids who are selected into the palace have to go through strict screening. Physical fitness, fat, thin, beautiful and ugly can be relaxed a little. Important, three generations must be checked up and down, and the family background is clean.

Which emperor didn't raid a few mansions and kill a few criminals when he was in power? If the investigation is not strict, if there is a fish that slips through the net, he will have resentment towards the royal family, and sneaking into the palace will be detrimental to the king, so what? Is good?Especially the maids, who knows when His Majesty the Lord suddenly saw the right thing, and after a few nights, she was killed on the bed at that time, but she would be the biggest laughing stock in the world.

Mu Ai guessed what the old lady was thinking, smiled and added a few words, "My personal maid is the daughter of the housekeeper, she is the most prudent and careful person, she will take care of Simba for two or three months, when Simba gets used to it, we will Just take her back, this girl is also highly relied on on weekdays, if she leaves for too long, I will feel a little resigned."

The old queen pondered for a while, glanced at the crocus on the table from the corner of her eyes, and nodded with the surprised expression of her little grandson, "That's fine, there is a small kitchen in the Shou'an Hall of Ai's house, and here is where the maid comes. Serve."

Mu Ai got up, thanked her, and said a few gossips to satisfy the curiosity of the concubines and princes, then she left the palace.

Simba went all the way to the Zhengyang Gate, still clutching the corner of his mother's clothes tightly, which made Mu Ai's heart sour, but she still hugged him to comfort him, "Simba is good, mom will send Xiaoan here tonight, Remember what your mother said, stay here for three months, and then your mother will pick you up in person."

"Well, mom means what she says." Simba held back his tears, stretched out his little finger and hooked his mother.

Mu Ai patted his youngest son's head, then looked at Xiao Quanzi Xiao Shengzi behind him, and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you the ones who serve His Highness Fifth?"

"Yes, ma'am." The voices of the two Xiaoquanzi brothers were trembling with excitement, and they quickly answered with a bow

Mu Ai smiled slightly, "It's been hard work for you on weekdays. His Highness the Fifth Highness has just entered the palace and doesn't understand the rules of the palace. You should remind him often in the future." Fuji Apple came out and said, "I just saw that you seem to like apples very much, these two are for you to try."

Xiao Quanzi and Xiao Shengzi blushed a little. When they just moved the fruit basket to Xinuange, they did look at the apples a few more times, because the taste was so sweet that it made people salivate.

The two praised and did not dare, but when they saw that Mu Ai insisted on giving it, they knelt down and kowtowed, took it with both hands, hugged it carefully in their arms, and thanked each other incoherently, "Thank you Madam for the reward, I should serve my master well, Thank you madam for the reward."

Mu Ai gave some instructions to her youngest son again, then left the Zhengyang Gate guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, got into the small green cloth carriage with the tiger head plate on it, and drove away.

Simba secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and brought two young eunuchs back to Shou'an Hall.

Sure enough, two hours later, Xiao An entered the palace, so happy that Simba surrounded her asking about this and that, and insisted on arranging her residence in his Xinuang Pavilion.Seeing that the little grandson liked it so much, the queen mother didn't stop her. Anyway, as long as he doesn't leave the Shou'an Palace, she is in her hands, and even a little girl can't make a big wave.

Xiao An put down her luggage, chatted and laughed with Xiao Quanzi and became familiar with them. Seeing many fruit baskets in the hall, she guessed that they were left by her wife, so she said to Simba, "Second Young Master... No, Fifth Highness, these fruit baskets You can’t finish it all by yourself, should you send someone to the Empress Dowager and let her make the decision to distribute it to the palace masters to try something new.”

Simba was happy to have familiar people around him, and he was used to eating these fruits, so he didn't feel too reluctant, waved his hand indifferently, and immediately let Xiao Quanzi Xiao Shengzi carry him to the main hall again.

At this time, Bihe and Biyun came in with tea, Xiao An took it with her own hands, and then greeted them, Bihe and Biyun hurriedly returned the gift, although they were old people in the palace, their qualifications were much higher than Xiao An who just came in, However, Xiaoan was sent by the Muxian Mansion to take care of Simba's diet, and they were only sent by the Queen Mother to wait on them temporarily.

Xiao An reached out her hand and took out two red gold plum flower hairpins from her bosom, and said with a smile, "Sisters, our wife was very busy entering the palace just now, and I didn't have time to call my sisters to come forward to ask questions, so I specially ordered my servants to bring two for them. The plum blossom hairpin is here, sisters have worked hard to take care of His Highness the Fifth Highness."

Bihe and Biyun hurriedly refused to accept, Simba usually washes and dresses by himself, and Xiaoquanzi Xiaoshengzi takes care of the rest of the chores. It was several times easier than being on duty in the main hall, which made all the sisters envious. Now that they were rewarded, even they themselves felt a little ashamed.

Xiao An took their hands, stuffed the golden hairpin in, and said with a smile, "Sisters, don't be too polite. The younger sister just came in, her eyes are dark, and she needs to take care of her. This hairpin should be our wife's helper." I handed over the beam repair."

Bihe and Biyun couldn't help laughing, Biyun said first, "Sister Xiao'an's talk is really interesting, well, sister Bihe and I will pick it up, and if you don't understand anything in the future, just come to us."

Xiao'an thanked them, and Bihe and Biyun also saluted in the direction of Banyue Mountain in the west with full courtesy, and then made an excuse and went out.

Simba only ate a piece of baked scallion pancake at noon, and the box of coke chicken wings was shared by several princes. At this time, when he saw Xiao An, he was aggrieved and clamored to eat meat, and he immediately liked him All the dishes are reported.

Xiao An asked Xiao Quanzi what time it was for dinner, and asked Xiao Shengzi to take her to the small kitchen, which is actually called a small kitchen, but it is not small at all. The queen mother is the highest-ranking person in the palace, and several princes often come here To accompany her to eat at the old man's house, Simba even lived here directly.Therefore, the origin of the three meals a day is naturally very particular.

Eunuch Zuo, the chief eunuch in charge of the small kitchen, had already received the Queen Mother's order, and knew that in the future, His Highness the Fifth Highness would be in charge of the diet, and this person was still a maidservant from the Muxian Mansion.What is the place of the Muxian Mansion? The other maids are listening too much. It may be said that it is the mansion of the lady who knows the fairy art, the mansion of the new prince, but the first thing that Eunuch Zuo thought of was that he has now been promoted to the deputy general manager. Shen Gonggong.

He has been in charge of the kitchen affairs of the Shou'an Palace for many years, and he is regarded as a little powerful, so he can also speak among the powerful eunuchs.Three years ago, when I was drinking and chatting with some stewards, Eunuch Shen, who was still the eunuch in charge of Anhe Palace, was drunk and ordered the dishes with chopsticks. There is no limit to good food, if you eat this dish from our palace today, it will be like feeding pigs."

Several people at the same table hurriedly left the table because they heard him say something taboo and were afraid of taking the blame. Later, Eunuch Shen sobered up and took out a lot of good things to cover up the matter.

But Eunuch Zuo had a good relationship with him, so he reluctantly asked the reason for that remark, and learned that he ate a banquet in Huawang City, the dishes were novel and delicious, and the person in charge of the spoon was a maid from the Muxian Mansion.

Originally, he was somewhat disapproving, thinking that Eunuch Shen was exaggerating. However, in the past two years, new vegetables have entered the palace one after another. During the event, Mr. Xiao specially asked His Majesty to select two cooks from Xiankelou to enter the palace. The dishes were indeed delicious, and someone carefully inquired about the source of the recipes, and it turned out that they were also from the Muxian Mansion, which made him believe it.

So when he learned that the Muxian Mansion had sent a maid who was good at cooking into the palace, Eunuch Zuo didn't dare to underestimate him at all. He personally led Xiao An to arrange the stove and chopping boards and tools, and then went to the next door to drink tea, calmly. Waiting for Xiaoan to display his skills.

The other imperial cooks didn't know the details. They only heard that His Highness the Fifth Highness was not used to the dishes they cooked, so the queen mother specially allowed a maidservant to cook them. What is this? This is a naked blow to them. The best chef in the country, is the dish not as good as a maid?Therefore, as soon as Eunuch Zuo went out, they made small moves, not allowing those helpers to help Xiaoan, and then while they were busy with the dishes in their hands, they ridiculed and tried their best to be mean.

Xiao An seemed to have not heard the abuse at all, and looked carefully between the stove and the chopping board for a while, found the location of various seasonings, then asked Xiao Quanzi to help light the fire, then turned back to the residence, and brought a long The square box is placed safely on the chopping board.

After putting on the stone-blue sleeves and apron, brushing her hair with clean water, and washing her hands carefully, she began her first cooking in the palace.
