Chapter 7 Breakfast
It turns out that the princess has to go to class too...

Xiaodong was thinking, and the fifth princess asked her, "Is sister Xiaodong literate?"

Xiaodong shook his head at her very honestly this time.

"When you are older, you can come to school."

The fourth princess also nodded and said: "Exactly, this year King Hui, King Jing, and some sisters from King Ying's family have also come to the school, and with everyone's companionship, the school is much more lively than in previous years. Wait." Sister Xiaodong is coming too, I'm afraid the Jiyu Hall will be too full for people to sit down."

The sixth princess frowned, "It's rare to have a free day today, so don't keep talking about those things. Eh? How does this tea taste..." She asked the maid at the side: "What kind of tea is this? Have you never drank it before?"

The court lady bent her knees and replied softly, "Report to Your Royal Highness, this is the tribute autumn tea from the Jinzhou Mansion in Hedong."

"There is also tea in places like Jinzhou?"

The fourth princess also took a sip: "Well, this tea is clear, smooth and soft, which is not bad."

The sixth princess shook her head: "It's a bit lighter, I don't like it."

Xiaodong just listened to what they were talking about, and after a while, a court lady came to look for them, she was dressed differently from the others, she was wearing a light green round neck blouse, not like a court lady's attire, but rather... Well, the official uniforms worn by men who are officials in the imperial court are the same.

"His Royal Highness, the son, the princess, the empress dowager has passed on the meal."

The fourth princess nodded and said, "Sister Gao, I'm sorry, we'll go there now."

This elder sister Gao should be the female officer of **, right?Sure enough, her temperament was different, neither humble nor overbearing, elegant and peaceful, completely different from ordinary palace concubines.

The morning greetings in the front hall have ended, and the room full of flowers and beauties just now was like a cloud of beauties, now there is only an empty fragrance left. Xiaodong only saw the Empress Dowager Shengde sitting there, but the Empress Dowager Shengci was not there—that is to say The Empress Dowager Shengci doesn't live here, so she came to pay her respects just now?

Xiaodong vaguely guessed that the Empress Dowager Shengci should be the biological mother of the emperor and King An, that is, Xiaodong's biological grandmother.And Empress Dowager Shengde should be the former empress.

This makes sense, so there are two empress dowagers, and the empress dowager Shengci is not the first wife of the first emperor, so although the mother is honored as the empress dowager now, she still has to observe the ceremony of concubine concubine to greet the empress dowager Shengde .

Ordinarily, the emperor's mother should be the most honorable woman in this world, but there is still a Empress Dowager Shengde on her head——

However, that had nothing to do with her, Xiaodong took a bowl of corn porridge and drank the porridge honestly, and even ate a crystal bun.

The meals in the palace are more refined than those in the palace, with several more tableware and more varieties of meals.Xiaodong secretly counted, there are sixteen plates of side dishes, four kinds of porridge, and more snacks and cakes, and a table is full.

The Empress Dowager Shengde ordered softly, and a court lady went away in response, and a moment later came back with a tureen and placed it in front of Xiaodong.

Empress Dowager Shengde said with a smile: "This is easy to digest, and it is suitable for children to drink."

The maid lifted the lid of the bowl, and inside was a bowl of milk soup.

Xiaodong thought it was cow's milk, but after taking a sip, he realized that it was goat's milk. It had a bit of a smell, but it wasn't too heavy. After swallowing it, there was still a faint aroma of herbs in his mouth.

The sixth princess looked at the bowl of milk soup and said in a low voice: "The empress dowager, is only sister Xiaodong?"

The palace man at the side explained: "Your Highness, this milk soup is for the Empress Dowager, and there is only this one every day."

Only then did Xiaodong realize that this thing is so expensive, so he instinctively raised his head to look at Zhao Lu.

There was no expression on Zhao Lu's face, but there was tenderness in his eyes, signaling her not to worry.

Anyway, she didn't want to come, it was given by the Queen Mother on her own initiative.

She's a child again, so it's okay to drink this, right?

Empress Dowager Shengde said to the sixth princess: "Your little sister Xiaodong is weak. She was born less than a month old and has been kept outside. Why do you compete with your little sister for food?"

The sixth princess pursed her lips: "The empress dowager is eccentric, once little sister Xiaodong comes, she won't love us any more."

Empress Dowager Shengde said with a smile: "You girl...Okay, come back tomorrow, I'll keep it for you."

The sixth princess blinked: "I have class tomorrow, so I can't make it through—the empress dowager, then, I'll come back on the next holiday, can you keep it for me?"

Xiaodong buried his face in the bowl, glanced at Princess Six, and then at Empress Dowager Shengde.

This is a competition for food, but it is even more a competition for favor.

No wonder people say that children who cry have candy.If you don't fight, others will.The most indispensable thing in this palace is people. If everyone wants to go up, he has to step down others.

Fortunately, she is only the princess, not the princess.

The fourth princess had no expression on her face, as if she was used to it.The fifth princess said softly: "Sixth sister, don't be naughty, you will be hungry and full. Last time you ate the grass cake, you thought it smelled like medicine. Now you want this again, and you won't drink it if you want it."

The sixth princess smiled sweetly: "That's not the same, this must be very delicious. Did you see that little sister Xiaodong drank half a bowl?"

She had a smile on her face, but her fingers holding the chopsticks were stronger than before.

The fifth princess glanced at her: "Don't just focus on being greedy, who said before that you should keep your mouth shut and lose weight so you can learn to dance around the waist?"

Empress Dowager Shengde was surprised: "What are you doing after learning that?"

The sixth princess was not as confident as before, and said in a low voice: "It's just talking, I see others dancing beautifully..."

Empress Dowager Shengde's face was displeased: "Don't mess with those crooked people, you are a princess, not an actor."

These words made the sixth princess's face turn pale, she stood up and listened with solemn hands, and then responded: "Yes, Rui'er knows it's wrong."

Empress Dowager Shengde nodded: "Well, you are still young and ignorant, so I won't punish you this time." Then she turned to the fourth and fifth princesses and said, "You sisters, see what she does No, it is necessary to discipline and remind her from time to time."

The fourth and fifth princesses also stood up and listened, and even Zhao Lu also stood up, leaving only the Empress Dowager Shengde and Xiaodong sitting on the table.

Xiaodong still looked dazed and ignorant, but he gave Fifth Princess a thumbs up in his heart.

Awesome, without showing the mountains or showing the water, just one sentence extinguished the arrogance of the sixth princess.

In contrast, the sixth princess jumped up and down and fought for favor like a clown.

It is estimated that except for Xiaodong, everyone else was not full from this meal. Although the Empress Dowager Shengde was kind to Xiaodong, her mood was obviously not as happy as before.After eating breakfast and talking for a while, Zhao Lu led her back out.

The female officer surnamed Gao sent them out just now, and said with a smile: "My son, please wait a moment. The queen mother has rewarded the princess. Please send someone to go with the servant to check and draw a lottery. When you come back, you will be banned The guards are also easy to check."

Zhao Lu was also very polite to her: "Sister Gao please thank the Empress Dowager for me and Xiaodong, I will let people pass."

Huh?And rewards?

Don't know what to reward?
Xiaodong thought, these things that rewarded her should be considered her private house, right?Others can't take it.

Hmm - She thought with a black thread, I hope she didn't reward her with a few more boxes of dim sum... Always dim sum, she will have a dim sum phobia.You can't finish eating, and you can't store value, and you can't exchange money...
