Chapter 102 103: Things can't just be left alone
Qin Xiyue didn't reply after hearing Huaying's words, but she knew very well that the emperor's doting on Song Yunzhao was not necessarily because he really liked her, but because the emperor was more afraid of the daughter of an important minister in the court.
Under such circumstances, how could the emperor love them? Even the third concubine was alienated by the emperor, which shows that the emperor is dissatisfied with the courtiers.
On the contrary, Song Yunzhao's family background is not obvious, and neither the uncle's house nor his father is in the court. Relatively speaking, the emperor is naturally more willing to favor a woman who is not in danger.
Song Yunzhao thought that the emperor loved her, but he didn't know that she was standing on the edge of the cliff.
Thinking about this, Qin Xiyue felt a little relieved, her decision was correct, she couldn't act too hastily, she had to come slowly.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Song Yunzhao got up with the emperor early in the morning. Feng Yi looked at Song Yunzhao and said, "I will come over for the dinner."
Song Yunzhao joked, "It doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't come to the dinner."
Feng Yi glanced at Song Yunzhao upon hearing this, and Song Yunzhao looked back with a smile.
Feng Yi snorted, because he thought he was troublesome, and his courage was really getting bigger and bigger.
Song Yunzhao changed the emperor's clothes with a smile, only wearing a middle coat, and Meng Jiuchang took over the other outer clothes, and she sat aside and watched quietly.
Feng Yi was looked at by her as quite helpless, without the restraint of a woman at all.
Song Yunzhao sent the emperor out, heaved a long sigh of relief, and didn't rush to wash and change clothes, just put on his outer clothes and leaned on the soft pillow to read the scriptures sent by Zhang Maoxin.
This time, there is a notebook from Yuquanlou, but this notebook is not written by myself. It seems that it should be someone else’s notebook received by Yuquanlou.
Xiangxue and Shizhu are arranging the clothes to be worn today, Qingfeng went to watch the breakfast, Yulu took people to wait for the service to freshen up, Wangyou Palace was in operation in an instant.
Song Yunzhao was fascinated by reading the script, and Yulu came in to remind her when she saw that the time was almost up, and then she recovered and went to wash up.
Outside, the breeze brought people to bring the breakfast and it was being put on the table. Xiangxue and Shizhu hung up the clothes they were about to wear to avoid wrinkles, Song Yunzhao simply **** his hair, fixed it with a jade hairpin, and went to have breakfast.
She ate simple in the morning, not as luxurious as the three concubines, so the meal preparation in the imperial dining room was much faster.
Song Yunzhao stirred the porridge in the bowl, looked at Qingfeng and asked, "Is there only white porridge for breakfast today?"
Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Yes, if the master doesn't like white porridge, the slaves will ask them to make it again."
Song Yunzhao didn't speak, but looked up at the side dishes on the table, they were all for congee, a dish of eight-treasure pickles, a dish of rouge goose breast, a dish of fried diced pheasant, and a dish of diced sour bamboo shoots.
She likes to eat lightly, but whether she likes to eat lightly or not is different from whether the imperial dining room is careful or not.
In the past, she had two or three types of porridge to choose from, but today there is only white porridge, and only those who are sick can drink white porridge.
This is not just neglecting her, it is clearly someone who wants to suppress her from the meal.
Song Yunzhao has always found it very strange that she has never encountered the usual oppressive dramas in Gongdou, so this is just the beginning.
Xiangxue heard the quick steps coming out from inside, glanced at the breakfast on the table, and said to Qingfeng: "You are also confused, although the master's breakfast is always simple, it is not the reason for the imperial dining room to fool around. Look at the things on this table, they are only used by concubines with low status in the palace."
After Xiangxue reprimanded her, Qingfeng also realized that her face turned pale. She was negligent, and immediately knelt down to apologize.
She failed to see the negligence of the dining room, which was her dereliction of duty.
Shizhu's temperament is stronger than Xiangxue, looking at Qingfeng, she said: "Master, kindness is the master's business, and it's not an excuse for us people to be careless. I think you are used to living a good life, and you have even forgotten the ability to take care of the house."
Shi Zhu directly brought the food box, put all the meals on the table into it, looked at the master and said: "Slaves, let's go to the dining room, let those dogs who have eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, let them know what it means to be powerful."
This is not negligence, this is simply a slap in the face of Wangyou Gong, how can he bear this tone?
Song Yunzhao did not speak this time, and went to the imperial dining room with a dark face by Shi Zhu.
Qingfeng's temperament has always been cautious, and she usually doesn't care too much about these things, so she didn't really take it to heart when she saw that the meals in the dining room were a bit inappropriate, probably thinking that she didn't care.
Song Yunzhao actually didn't really care about these things, but she didn't care, could it be the same as the dining room deliberately hitting her in the face?
Qingfeng couldn't tell the pros and cons, and didn't see the mystery here clearly, so it's time to be careful.
Yulu saw that her master's complexion was not very good, and she didn't dare to intercede for Qingfeng, and she was afraid that Qingfeng's kneeling here would make her annoyed even more, so she dragged her to kneel outside.
After dragging the person out, Yulu squatted down and looked at Qingfeng, "You said that when you see the porridge, you should put the porridge bowl on the table in the imperial dining room. I don't know who took advantage of this group of dogs. They deliberately slapped the master in the face. How can you bring the porridge back?"
Qingfeng had a bitter face, and knew that he had made a mistake, so he said softly, "I thought that the dining room would be busier than usual because of the Mid-Autumn Festival today. It is probably because of this that I made the breakfast simpler."
Qingfeng was taken aback, then shook his head, "No."
Yulu gritted her teeth angrily, "I think you are living too comfortably."
Qingfeng lowered her head, she was negligent.
Yulu said softly: "The master's good temper is not the reason for us to be negligent as slaves. Qingfeng, what do you think will happen if you put the things you did today in other palaces?"
Qingfeng's expression turned cold, "I know, I was wrong."
Yulu looked at her and didn't say anything else, and finally said, "If someone slaps the master in the face, we slaves have to fight back. If the things you did today are spread, where will you let the master's face go? Think about it yourself."
Yulu also ignored Qingfeng, got up and entered the hall, and saw that the master picked up the script again to look through it. She hesitated for a moment, but went forward and said softly: "Master, Qingfeng knew she was wrong. You also know her temper. She is afraid of causing trouble for the master. She promises that she will not do this in the future."
Song Yunzhao heard Yulu's words and said calmly: "I'm relieved with your words, otherwise people outside will think that Wangyou Palace is a soft persimmon, and anyone can squeeze it."
Yulu was startled and sweated, knowing that the master was really upset, she hurriedly said: "Master, don't worry, Qingfeng will never dare to be confused again."
"Go and do your work."
Yulu nodded hurriedly, "Yes."
Out of the palace, Yulu thought for a while and couldn't just let it go. She went to Anshun, muttered to herself, Anshun's face became ugly, "I know, let's go and check. There are only a few people who can reach the full harem of the imperial dining room, and I don't believe they can't be found out."
Anshun breathed a sigh of relief when he went to check on Yulu, "Go and check first, and I'll talk to Nanny Yu."
Anshun nodded and left, Yulu went to find Nanny Yu again, and it happened that Nanny Yu went to Liushang Bureau.
Before Nanny Yu came back, Shi Zhu came back first. Yulu looked at the food box in Shi Zhu's hand and knew that it had been replaced.
"What did the imperial dining room say?"
"I don't care what he says. When I go to the imperial dining room, I will serve out the master's breakfast in front of the head of the imperial dining room. What else do we have to say?" Shi Zhu sneered.
"What did the head of the imperial dining room say?" Yulu asked again.
"What can I say, these **** can push things out just by finding a reason, and the unlucky one is just a servant who prepares breakfast today."
"Did you ask the servant?"
"I asked, but the waiter only said that today's Mid-Autumn Festival is very busy, so it is inevitable that breakfast will be simpler."
"This excuse can really fool people."
"No, I was so angry that I threw away the meals of the other masters who hadn't mentioned the meals."
Yulu:…
Dianthus walked into the hall quickly, Yulu hurriedly followed, put the food box on the table, and brought out the same breakfast inside, the aroma of eight-treasure lotus seed porridge came oncoming.
Song Yunzhao listened to Shi Zhu's reply and looked at her, "You opened other people's meals, but didn't you say anything in the imperial dining room?"
"They are very wronged, so how dare they say anything. Besides, the slaves just opened it for them to see, and did nothing." Shi Zhu said. "The steward of the imperial dining room pushed this matter to the servant who prepared the breakfast, but the servant suspects that this matter is not so simple. How could the servant have such courage, but as a servant, he can only do this."
"It's done well." Song Yunzhao sat at the table and took a bite of the fried golden oil fruit, which was crispy and sweet, and then drank a mouthful of lotus seed porridge. Although she is not too picky about food, who doesn't like delicious food?
Yulu saw that her master looked better, and said softly to the side: "The servant has already told Anshun, and Anshun will investigate this matter. Madam Yu went to the Liushang Bureau, and the servant will let me know when Madam comes back."
Song Yunzhao nodded, "There must be someone behind the servant. Let Anshun follow the line to investigate. As for who can be found out, it depends on his ability."
The little servant does not have such power, but since he dared to deliver such breakfast to Wangyou Palace, he must have taken advantage of it.
This matter is neither big nor small, Song Yunzhao didn't intend to swallow this breath, nor did he intend to make the matter too big.
However, taking the opportunity to install herself in the Imperial Dining Room is her ultimate goal.
Anshun didn't come back until mid-noon, "Master, that servant saw someone from Cuiwei Palace last night, but he was just a low-level maidservant. When it comes to Cuiwei Palace, servants don't dare to take people rashly, so come here to ask the master to show me."
Cuiwei Palace?
Song Yunzhao was indeed a little surprised, he didn't expect it to be Concubine Lu.
The second update is here, the 6,000-word update is complete today, and it will continue tomorrow, so cute.
