Qing Palace: Biography of Concubine Shu

Chapter 9 The Difficulty of Bitter Melon
At lunch time, Shu Yun arranged the lunch, and bitter gourd dishes were served in the imperial dining room. Sitting in front of the table, Yinzhen found two plates of blue bitter gourd, and he glanced at Shu Yun.

Shu Yun's chopsticks were always circling the two plates of bitter gourd, Yinzhen kept watching, watching the little girl disdain bitter gourd.

He picked up two slices of bitter gourd with his chopsticks and placed them directly on her plate.

Shu Yun wanted to cry without tears, so he asked the imperial dining room to prepare bitter gourd, hoping that Yinzhen would use more to reduce his fire.

In the upper study room, the competition among elder brothers has become fierce. There are bad rumors circulating in the elder brother's office. Several older elder brothers have reached the age of entering the court. Dude reads.

Every time, the crown prince receives anger from Kangxi, he turns around and vents all the anger on the younger elder brother. The relationship between Yinzhen and the prince is closer than others, so he is often taken out, which makes Yinzhen Can only sulk.

For several days in a row, after school in the afternoon, he locked himself in the study room and used copying scriptures to vent his anger. However, the anger in his heart could not dissipate for a long time, and several blisters appeared on the corners of his mouth.

"Master, you are an internal fire, more bitter gourd is good for your health, I don't need it here!" Shu Yun muttered softly.

He glanced away, and Shu Yun obediently stuffed the bitter gourd into her mouth, a burst of bitterness filled her mouth, which shocked her all over, and her delicate face wrinkled together.

The changeable look on her little face completely entertained him. At this moment, his mood gradually improved.

"Shu Yun, it's best to use more bitter gourd in summer, instead of eating fire." Yinzhen's approach was obviously to let Shu Yun shoot himself in the foot.

She took off her small shoulders, she was really a bit decadent, this bitter gourd is definitely her death spot, ouch.

"Eat another piece!" Yinzhen was feeling angry in the upper study room, seeing Shu Yun's daring expression but not speaking, he couldn't help laughing.

In the deep palace, the big fish eat the small fish and the small fish eat shrimp. He has found balance from Shu Yun. Will Shu Yun regain his confidence from the servants?

After Yinzhen changed into his normal clothes, he went directly to the riding and archery field.

Shu Yun sent the master away, and spread it directly on the soft couch.

"Su Lan, go and bring the spicy crab and rice." Shu Yun specially ordered a spicy crab for lunch. Yinzhen eats in moderation. In summer, he seldom touches spicy dishes. Unless it is hot pot, otherwise, these will never be used.

"Master, do you want to heat it up?" The spicy crab and rice are packed in ice cubes. Will it spoil in such a hot day?

Shu Yun shook her head, she could only ask someone to cook more during the three meals, and save it as an extra meal.

A certain four was in a bad mood, and in the end, he took her as a blowing bucket and watched her make jokes.

However, she was useful to let him leave happily.

"Master, it's all here!" Su Zhu took a look, everything was well preserved, and the spicy crab was still warm.

Shu Yun looked at the spicy crab with all kinds of seasonal vegetables scattered on it, and he was very happy.

She picked up a chopstick of seasonal vegetables and ate them with rice, as if she had returned to a modern food stall.

After Su Lan peeled off the shells and skins of the crabs, Shu Yun wiped out the crabs with a satisfied expression on his face.

After eating with fourth master, she would have another meal, each time in secret, the people outside should be different.

Shu Yun obeyed the rules like the rest of the female family members. When the fourth master put down the chopsticks, they would no longer need them. After sending the master out, they began to busy themselves with their own affairs.

"Master, do you want to take a nap?" Su Lan watched Shu Yun rubbing her belly in satisfaction, such an inelegant behavior happened, she hurried up to persuade the master.

"No, I'll stay here for a while. Later, we have to tidy up the small vegetable garden." That vegetable garden is Shu Yun's most like protection. In winter, Shu Yun, who is a snack, of course hopes to have more good things. Save what you eat.

Today, she followed Di Fujin to pay respects to Concubine De, which made Shu Yun the envy of the female relatives.

Fortunately, Shu Yun seldom goes out, and those female family members don't bother to visit.

"Ge Ge, let's take a day off." Su Lan watched Shu Yun sitting on the small bench, busy taking care of the vegetable garden, they felt a little uncomfortable.

Before entering the palace, when did Shu Yun feel so aggrieved that the master actually grows vegetables himself, there are very few vegetables in winter, and the master likes them very much, the master and wife always spend huge sums of money to buy the dishes that the master likes.

"Forget it, you go prepare it too." Shu Yun comforted Su Lan, "In addition, the Imperial Dining Room will send some melons, fruits and vegetables over every day. Let's make some dried vegetables and fruits by ourselves. It will be a delicacy during the Chinese New Year."

Shu Yun always thought that he would have enough food and clothing by himself.

Su Lan looked at Shu Yun's little back reading a book, and felt bitterness in her heart.

"Su Zhu, go and prepare those dried vegetables." Su Zhu's craftsmanship is the best of the two, and Su Zhu prepares more things that are generally imported.

"Su Lan, don't be like this, Ge Ge is still very happy to look at, and you can be happier playing with those things. This is not a mansion, and the master has no intention of strolling in the garden." Su Zhu feels sorry for Shu Yun's change, all because of the palace due to internal constraints.

Su Lan wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, took two deep breaths, turned and walked into the room, Shu Yun heard Su Lan and Su Zhu's words, she was glad that she could use the palace rules as an excuse for her change.

An hour later, Shu Yun put down the notebook in his hand and stretched himself.

"Su Lan, bring the embroidered shoes." Shu Yun glanced at the clock, it was already 02:30, and she should start working.

Every day, Shu Yun worked for three and a half hours in the afternoon, and at six o'clock, he put down his tools on time and quit.

Dinner was served at seven o'clock, and Yinzhen happened to be back within this hour.

If Yinzhen doesn't come, Shu Yun will leave work half an hour late, and the meal time will also be postponed to 7:30.

Next to the earth dragon in the side hall, there are more than a dozen white rectangular porcelain pots, with lush vegetable seedlings planted inside. Seeing that Shu Yun liked it, Yinzhen specially asked Su Peisheng to clean up the earth dragon in the side hall, and put it next to him. I visited more than a dozen flowerpots, and many of the seeds in them were bought by Yinzhen from outside the palace by Su Peisheng.

Some are even imported. Shu Yun looked at the tomatoes that were going to be transplanted today, with a smile on his face.

After a while, she will be able to eat tomatoes. Among the people, tomatoes are regarded as poisonous fruits. Shu Yun also ate them at home. At that time, her brother also said that those who are only officials will fool the common people in order to use them more. .

"Su Lan put this pot by the window." The side hall was vacated, and Shu Yun was going to plant vegetables and fruits in it.
