Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 28

Mei Xia left with a small cup in her hand, it was absolutely impossible for the maid to inquire about the girl from her.

So the maid didn't find out what the empress liked, but from Mei Xia's words, she knew that the empress hated the big girl very much.Otherwise, as a big girl, the big maid would not say such a word to herself, and the maid returned to the room where she lived with several other maids contentedly, and they were all waiting for news in the room!
"lady."

Grandma Liu walked in.

"what's up?"

Mrs. Wang is going to find Shuning!There are several headgears suitable for girls in her makeup box, and she is about to take them and give them to her.

"Just now, Nanny Liu in the palace sent someone to say that the girl can't talk to Madam today, please come back tomorrow."

Although they are all surnamed Liu, Madam Liu who is around Mrs. Wang does not dare to be compared with Nanny Liu who is around Mrs. Wang.

"what happened?"

Mrs. Wang put down the makeup box.

"Ma'am, you forgot, it's not very convenient for girls these days."

Madam Liu reminded Mrs. Wang.

"Oh, you really forgot if you didn't mention it. Counting the days, isn't it just these few days!"

Wang stroked her forehead, she was dizzy due to too many recent events.The dowry saved for the empress in the past can't be used now, so she plans to exchange it for silver notes except for some that can be brought into the palace. There must be silver in the palace.It will not be so convenient to send it to the palace in the future, so it is better to bring more when you can bring it into the palace, so that the family members can rest assured.

"Let the kitchen prepare some brown sugar water for delivery, as well as red dates and peanut porridge."

When Wang looked back, there was a series of instructions, and the following could only quickly follow her instructions.It's one thing for the empress to use it or not, but they have to do it.

When Shu Ning woke up again, it was almost noon.

"Ma'am, can I pass on the meal?"

Bai Momo sat beside her embroidering things, and when she saw Shuning woke up, she hurriedly helped her up.Then he took a towel dipped in warm water and wrung it dry to wipe her face and hands. It wasn't until Shu Ning fully woke up that she sat aside and asked again.

"Wait a minute, I just woke up and have no appetite."

Shu Ning half leaned on the couch, with a fur cape draped over her shoulders.Girls who are menstruating are prone to cold hands and feet, so keeping warm is very important.Even though it's not winter, it can't keep her cold.

"The lady wants to drink some brown sugar water. Mei Xia puts it in a small cup and warms it in hot water."

Nanny Bai also knew that people who just woke up had no appetite.

"it is good."

Shuning also felt a little thirsty.

"Your Majesty, please use it."

Hearing the call from Nanny Bai, Mei Xia brought brown sugar water.

Shu Ning drank half of the cup with a spoon and couldn't drink any more.

"Miss?"

"I want to change clothes." The ancients spoke so elegantly that they said they needed to change clothes when they went to the bathroom.

"Yes."

Mei Xia backed out and called Mei Chun and Mei Qiu in.

Bai Momo watched from the side, while Mei Chun and Mei Qiu helped Shuning change, she came out and changed into a set of clothes, and sat on the couch again.

"Your Majesty, can you pass on the meal?"

Nanny Bai fixed the cloak for Shuning.

"pass."

"Pass the meal."

Mei Chun walked to the door and said to the eunuchs guarding the gate, since these eunuchs came, the little boys who were guarding the courtyard gate have been replaced by them.Although the boy is still young, he is still a man. The eunuch is no longer a man in the eyes of others, so he can guard the gate, and he can also serve the concubine nearby.

"Yes."

The chief eunuch, Funing, ran to the small kitchen to deliver the meal, and soon some court ladies came in to set the meal.

According to regulations, concubines above concubines have six meat and six vegetarian dishes for each meal, sixteen dishes for four concubines, twenty dishes for noble concubines, 24 dishes for imperial concubines, 36 dishes for empresses, and 64 dishes for empresses. The Queen Mother has [-] Taos, and the Emperor has [-] Taos.

This is already very extravagant, at least Shuning said that she couldn't finish it.Although it can be rewarded to the maids, mothers and eunuchs, Shu Ning is still unwilling to let others eat the food she left.

So she asked people to change it to two meat and two vegetables per meal, and the portion should not be too much.As for the maids, eunuchs and eunuchs, their meals are also cooked together in the small kitchen, even if they are not as expensive and delicate as Shuning's, they still taste very good.

From Shuning's point of view, it would be good not to let them eat her leftovers.Of course, she also knew that it was hypocritical for her to do so, but she really couldn't care less about some things like in ancient times.

Shu Ning is so thrifty, of course the people below are even more afraid to waste.Although the food doesn't look like much, it's filling, and the food is still hot.Even the maids and eunuchs who are rough envoys have two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, and there is a big pot of vegetable soup in the kitchen pot for them to drink.
