food queen

Chapter 557 Concern! (3)
Jiaoyue thanked her, Apple'er turned her head to look at Su Shi, saw that she was calm and showed no sign of displeasure, so she pulled Jiaoyue to sit beside her.

Before lunch, the lady housekeeper of Zhongyihou's Mansion brought He's mother and daughter in.After giving some more instructions, Mrs. Su asked the housekeeper to take her down to prepare for entering the palace.After having lunch at Zhongyihou's Mansion, Apple went back to the palace with the mother and daughter He and some supplements prepared for the Queen by Zhongyihou's Mansion.

Back in the palace, Han Qian just woke up from a nap, and Apple took the He mother and daughter in to say hello.

Han Qian saw that He Zhenzhen was wearing a lake-green poplin dress embroidered with water hibiscus, combed with double buns, and his round face was shy, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, and he looked very handsome. Didn’t you see the truth? The little baby back then has now grown into a big girl.”

"Returning to the empress, she is really 11 years old this year. It's because the slaves have spoiled her in the capital for the past few years. If it was in her hometown, a child as old as her would be able to do anything." He laughed. .

"Children in their teens are the age to be carefree, so they must not be too strict." Han Qian laughed.

"Your Majesty taught me that." Mrs. He hurriedly responded.

Han Qian smiled again: "Although I haven't seen Zhenzhen in the past few years, I know her affairs very well. I heard that this child is very capable. This time, don't rush to leave. Wait Wen Zhen has recovered from her illness, so you should study hard with her. In this way, when you go back to your restaurant, the business will definitely double."

"Thank you, ma'am." He smiled, "If this girl can get the true biography of Miss Yan, let her serve your majesty in the palace! No matter how good the business of the restaurant outside is, it is only a few taels of silver a day. The majesty is short of money. Serving by hand, servants feel uneasy outside.”

"We'll talk about this later." Han Qian smiled and turned back to tell Xiangcheng: "Take their mother and daughter to settle down first."

Xiangcheng promised to come forward, and after pulling He Zhenzhen's hand and leading He out, Pingguo'er came forward and explained the trivial matters of Zhongyihou's mansion in detail.

Han Qian heard that Jiaoyue was pregnant and was about to give birth, so she said happily, "Why haven't we heard anything about this?"

"The empress is kind, so she naturally cares about the situation of the individuals in the mansion, but Sister Jiaoyue is just a concubine, even if she gave birth to a child for Lord Hou, it is only a concubine. Naturally, they dare not tell the empress to worry about such things." Pingguo'er He laughed and said, "It's just that I have been taught by Sister Haoyue since I was a child, and I have always been close to her. Today, I heard my wife said that when the child in her belly is born, I will give their mother and child a genealogy. Listen to this. The slave thinks, the more sons and more blessings the Marquis has, and the prosperity of our Marquis Mansion, the Empress must also be happy."

Han Qian leaned on the couch, lowered her head and stroked her stomach, and sighed softly: "It is a blessing to have a prosperous population, but I am also very worried about Su's sincerity. Can she, the wife of the wife, tolerate Haoyue and his wife?" This concubine child?"

Ping Ping'er thought for a while, and Fang persuaded in a low voice: "Don't worry, ma'am, Master Hou has one son and two daughters now, whether Sister Jiaoyue gives birth to a young master or a baby girl, there is no threat to the current madam. Even if she doesn't like it, she won't embarrass Jiaoyue and upset Lord Hou because of this matter."

Han Qian smiled, and asked again: "It is said that this Su Jinwen is a smart person, in your opinion, is it true?"

"In my slave's humble opinion, it should be better than the previous one." Apple said in a low voice.

Han Qian pondered for a moment, then sighed leisurely: "Since she came out of General Su's mansion, she is naturally taller than Gu's in terms of seeing and heart. It's just that I think that if she really likes brother, she will definitely treat him well." The woman next to her is jealous. Then Jiaoyue's life will be difficult. If she doesn't care about Jiaoyue and Jiaoyue's children, she doesn't really like her brother. She married into the Hou's mansion just to marry the Han family... this couple If the two of them only work together for the benefit, then what is the difference between the Su family and the Gu family? What happiness is there for the elder brother?"

"Your Majesty's words are very true." Pingguo'er nodded, and then sighed softly, "But Mrs. Su entered the door behind, and Sister Jiaoyue came to serve by Hou Ye's side after he got married, and it has been more than ten years. Even if Mrs. Su is unhappy, don't worry about it with Sister Jiaoyue! Your empress can rest assured."

"You're right." Han Qian nodded.

That night, Mrs. He and his daughter He Zhenzhen cooked several farm meals for the empress in the small kitchen: the main dish was poached fish, and there were also oranges stuffed with crab, a spicy and crispy lotus root, and a garlic-flavored eggplant. It is noodles made of eggs and noodles, and braised with double mushrooms and diced meat.Han Qian has been mainly eating all kinds of warm and tonic porridge these days. She hasn't eaten noodles for a long time, but she finds it very delicious and eats a bowl full.

"Oh! I'm so full!" Han Qian stood up from the couch holding Pingguo'er's hand, and walked back and forth in the room.

Xiao Man watched the maid carry out the small kang table, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty hasn't had such a good appetite for a long time! If you feel uncomfortable, you can go to the back yard for a walk. The moonlight is good tonight."

Han Qian smiled and said, "That's right, the osmanthus plant in the back is still in bloom, so let's go for a walk."

But Wei Yiyi didn't eat well that day.

It's just because the meals she ate were prepared for her by the small dining room of Fengzhang Palace in the first few days when she first entered the palace. Although Yan Wenzhen didn't show up, the meals for her were naturally prepared by Wenzhen himself.This is the case with a man who, having tasted a better taste, can no longer adapt to a bad taste.

This is how easy it is to go from thrift to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Now that Wen Zhen is sick, he only recuperates in his own room. Princess Wei's meal has been transferred from the small dining room in Fengzhang Palace to the imperial dining room in the palace. After all, it's not the taste of Wenzhen's cooking.

"Get out." Princess Wei Da put down her job, and said calmly to the maid serving beside her.

The palace maid looked at the barely touched food on the dining table, didn't dare to say anything, and bowed and agreed to carry it out.

"Come here." Wei Yiyi got up and walked to the door.

"Master Commander." Two internal guards came out from the side, stepped forward and bowed in salute, "May I ask what your commandment is?"

"Is there anything different in the palace today?" Wei Yiyi asked routinely.

One of the internal servants bowed and replied: "My lord, Mrs. Qianye's wife took two maids out of the palace today and went back to the Zhongyi Hou's mansion. When she returned to the palace, she brought two cooks back from the Hou's mansion. It is said that because Miss Yan is ill, the empress is not used to the food prepared by others, so she brought two people from the Hou's mansion to take care of the empress's diet."

"Is there such a good cook in Zhongyi Hou's Mansion?" Wei Yiyi sneered.
