Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 161

Concubine Jia's words caused the concubines in the harem to tear several handkerchiefs.This concubine Jia is too difficult to deal with without oil and salt.

"Master, the concubine Jia is here."

The old mother said in the ear of the queen mother who closed her eyes and meditated.

"Concubine Jia is here? Let her in quickly, it's cold outside!"

The queen mother opened her eyes and said happily.

"Yes."

After a while, Shuning came in with a pair of plum vases in her arms.

"Empress Dowager, my concubine has brought you plum blossoms, do you like them?"

After Shuning saluted, she handed over the plum vase in her hand to the head eunuch and the old mother of Quanfu Palace, and the Queen Mother only left them to wait by her side.

"Oh, this plum blossom is really beautiful."

The Queen Mother looked at the two vigorous plum blossoms and couldn't put them down. After admiring them, she asked them to put them in her room.

"It's good that the empress dowager likes it. I specially chose this kind of plum blossom for half a day, so I can keep it for two more days!" Shu Ning said as she sat on the side. It really made the empress dowager very happy. It is rare to see fresh flowers in winter. It became something that everyone sought after.

"Good good..."

The Empress Dowager asked Shuning again what she had prepared for the plum blossom banquet this time. When she heard that it was roast venison, the Empress Dowager became interested and insisted on attending.The old mother and Shu Ning couldn't persuade her, so she had to personally choose the warmest clothes for the queen mother to wear, and prepared a lot of things, so she was relieved to let the queen mother go out.

On the Empress Dowager's sedan chair, there was a smoker, and she was holding Concubine Jia's hand stove, which was specially made by Shu Ning, and it took only three days for the concubine Jia to deliver it.The thermal conductivity of this hand stove is much better than that of the previous ones, and more importantly, it is also very beautiful, with patterns such as the Four Gentlemen engraved on it.

The Empress Dowager came to the pavilion with the warm stove in her arms. The Empress and Concubine De had already received the news and came out to welcome her.

"The presence of the queen mother really makes this pavilion flourish!"

The queen stepped forward to support the queen mother, and was slightly surprised when she saw the hand stove in her arms, and saw that the big fur cloak on the queen mother was worn by Concubine Jia just now, while the one on Concubine Jia was a snow wolf fur cloak awarded by the queen mother.

"I don't know if the old woman will be bright or not, but I am greedy for your plum blossom feast."

As soon as the queen mother entered the pavilion, she felt warm and made people remove the cloak.

"Concubine Jia felt that the old woman's cloak was easy to breathe, so she asked me to wear hers. The old woman saw that Concubine Jia's was gone, so she gave her one. You two won't be jealous, right?"

The Queen Mother thought it would be better to explain it. After all, the Queen is her serious daughter-in-law, and Concubine De also raised the prince and princess. It would be bad if they didn't get along with Concubine Jia, although she was a little biased in her heart.

"Look at what the queen mother said, how could we be jealous! Concubine Jia is doing very well, the queen mother's phoenix body is so precious, we can't catch the cold because of the wind."

The queen is not a stingy person, not to mention Concubine Jia is still for the good of the queen mother.

It's the same with Concubine De, if it was before, she would definitely be jealous, but now...

"Empress Dowager, try the venison roasted by my concubine herself, my concubine's craftsmanship is very good~"

Shu Ning put a few pieces of grilled venison on the Empress Dowager's plate, and spread some dipping sauce, which was prepared by Mei Dong herself, and it can extinguish the fire after eating, after all, barbecue is something that is easy to get angry.

"Well, it's delicious. Concubine Jia didn't lie to me, the old woman, and the craftsmanship is really good. Empress, Concubine De, what about yours?"

The queen mother ate the roasted concubine Jia, and she was looking forward to the queen and concubine De's.

"Haha, Queen Mother, please don't laugh at us. The roasted food from daughter-in-law and Concubine De cannot enter Queen Mother's mouth. Unlike Concubine Jia, this skill is only the same for imperial cooks."

The queen smiled ashamedly, their craftsmanship was far behind that of Concubine Jia.

"Old lady, I don't believe it, bake it quickly and let me taste it."

The Empress Dowager refused, and insisted on the Empress and the others roasting it.The queen and concubine De had no choice but to bake it.

But the queen mother took a sip and then she disliked it, "It's really not as good as Concubine Jia's craftsmanship."

But it made the two of them blush, and Shu Ning sat aside and giggled non-stop.He was pressed and rubbed in the arms of the empress and concubine De for a long time until she called for forgiveness.The Eldest Princess and Eldest Prince clapped their hands and applauded, and Qi Shuning rubbed the two young ones too.

Laughter kept coming out of the pavilion, let him go to Quanfu Palace to invite the palace, but only to find out that his old mother was abducted by the little wife because the emperor who came here was upset.

"Mother, my son went to greet you, but there was no one in Quanfu Palace, but the mother and the queen were here to enjoy the food."

The emperor waved his hand, let everyone sit down beside the empress dowager without courtesy.

Shu Ning had someone re-serve venison and dipping sauce, and personally roasted a bunch for the emperor, and silenced his resentment with a few words.

"The emperor is really boring. For the first time, my concubine asked the emperor. How did the emperor answer the concubine?"

Shuning gave the emperor a coquettish look, as expected he was a little embarrassed.

"Oh~ there's another thing, Concubine Jia told the old woman me, how did my prince answer?" The queen mother became interested, and wanted to see her son's good show.

"Hey, I just replied that it's not like I haven't eaten this venison before, so there's nothing unusual about it. Just such a sentence, Concubine Jia is waiting for me here." When Concubine Jia asked him, the emperor really didn't understand This roasted venison is in his eyes. After all, he is the emperor, so he has never eaten it!He didn't know how many times he had eaten this roasted venison, but this time he ate it unlike what he had eaten before, the taste was simply amazing.

"Well, if it were me, I would give the emperor a meal." The queen mother glared at her son. The banquet was prepared by concubine Jia, and the emperor didn't appreciate it. She still said that, and she wouldn't Give it to the emperor, and let him watch them eat.

"Mother, I am your own son."

Is it really okay to be partial to Concubine Jia like this?

"Hmph, just look at your tired face, where is Concubine Jia cute, let's go."

The queen mother pushed away the face of the emperor approaching, and pulled Concubine Jia to sit beside her.

"The emperor wants to eat, let him bake it himself, don't spoil him with Concubine Jia."

The emperor, who was rejected by his mother, had no choice but to cook by himself. Fortunately, he had gone out before. Although the baked food was not delicious, it was better than the queen and concubine De.

The empress and Concubine De sat aside, and the empress dowager disliked the wise and mighty emperor, who even had to grill a barbecue by himself, which made her feel very refreshed.

The emperor has always been the biggest boss in the harem, and now it's rare to see him in a mess, with one queen and two concubines refusing to help him.

"Oh~ I'm really alone now."

The emperor sighed as he roasted, it is really bad to have a eccentric mother.

"Pfft~"
