Chapter 272: Speculations about the Meat Dishes Delivered to the Rui Palace
Fang Qingge thought for a moment, then said,
"Then take it! Improve the food for everyone."
"Here."
Xiao Douzi happily called Wang Pozi, Liu Pozi and others to go and receive the goods.
Nanny Jiang said on the side,
"Fang Liang Di, I really can't see through this Concubine Yin. She clearly knows the subtle relationship between the Crown Prince and Prince Rui, why does she still act this way?
Isn't she afraid that the Imperial Concubine will get angry if she finds out?"
Fang Qingge was also a little confused about Yin Ruyi's routine.
"Madam Jiang, what do you care about her? If she dares to give it to us, we dare to eat it. Besides, Concubine Xiao is busy recovering from her injuries and is too embarrassed to see anyone in Ruyi Palace. She should have no time to care about it!"
*
"That's right. I heard from Xiaodouzi that the Crown Princess has been sneaking to the Queen's Kunning Palace for meals these days. She has eaten a lot of delicious food.
But our two little masters haven't eaten meat and fish for several days. Ma is so distressed!
Don't worry, what the Crown Princess can eat, our young master can eat too. Thinking about it this way, this Concubine Yin is also thoughtful. "
After saying this, Nanny Jiang burst into laughter.
Whenever the babies are involved, she becomes an old child herself.
At noon, Yi Qiu secretly stewed a pot of meat in the courtyard to nourish everyone's faces, which were almost turning the color of vegetables.
Of course, the aroma of the meat was digested in the house and did not drift away.
Otherwise, the Crown Princess would find fault with me and make a big deal out of it.
*
However, the truth could not be hidden, and the Crown Princess in Zhaoling Palace got to know the news. She was so angry that she smashed a large and exquisite vase.
The distressed Nanny Yun quickly protected the other one. She was thinking of secretly taking it away one day and selling the silver to help her brother!
Then I heard the Crown Princess's frustrated voice,
"Nanny, I really can't stand them in Yiqiuyuan anymore.
Look, even Concubine Yin from Prince Rui's Palace has come to take care of this vixen and her cub.
We can't smash the food and make things worse.
If my aunt accidentally heard about this, she would scold me for mistreating my two children.
Hey! Eat, eat, eat, why can't I eat them to death?"
Nanny Yun had already pretended to be calm and put away the other vase that was left alone.
"Crown Princess, don't be angry. It's just this time, isn't it? Maybe Prince Rui did this for the Emperor and the Empress to see?! After all, the two little guys got injured just after the Crown Prince left the palace.
The King of Rui pretended to do this in order to show the harmony between the brothers.
"Well, you are right."
Zhao Yaxue used her brain and thought about it.
*
Suddenly, she slapped her forehead, as if she had discovered a big secret, and said in surprise,
"Oh? Nanny, do you think this vixen has also hooked up with King Rui?"
When Nanny Yun heard the Crown Princess's outspoken words, she didn't care about the hierarchy and stepped forward to cover her mouth.
"Oh, my dear, you can't say that! Otherwise, it will be troublesome if the emperor finds out and investigates."
"Nanny, why are you so nervous? I just said it casually to you."
"Ah? No way! Prince Rui is a very shrewd man, how could he allow someone to find fault with him so blatantly?!
Besides, King Rui had all kinds of women he wanted, and he wouldn't be stupid enough to let brothers quarrel with each other or let the younger brother-in-law commit adultery with his brother's woman.
Princess, I heard that there are dozens of stunning beauties in his backyard!
You must not say this again in the future, otherwise it will ruin the reputation of our East Palace."
Nanny Yun continued to analyze anxiously,
“Nurse thinks it’s because Concubine Yin is close to Concubine Fang Liangdi that Prince Rui asked Concubine Yin to perform this drama.
After all, the emperor would most like to see them being friendly and respectful to each other and living in harmony.
Do you think this concubine Yin is a good person? ! With such a capable person with a sharp mind, it is only a matter of time before she is promoted to the main wife! "
"Tsk! Just her?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yaxue rolled her eyes in disdain.
He sat down again angrily.
*
After seven days, the babies' injuries had healed, and the Queen Mother even sent Nanny Liu to visit them.
Fang Qingge was previously asked to copy Buddhist scriptures in the small Buddhist hall of Kunning Palace, but now he also showed mercy and ordered her to copy them devoutly in Yi Qiu Courtyard.
Before Fang Qingge could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard Nanny Jiang say,
"Fang Liang Di, starting tomorrow you should go and pay your respects to the Crown Princess."
Hearing this, Fang Qingge's sigh of relief turned into a loud sigh.
"Madam Jiang, I understand."
So, Fang Qingge's daily routine of visiting the Crown Princess in her courtyard morning and evening began again.
I don’t know why, but maybe it was because of the Queen’s favor, the Crown Princess didn’t make things difficult for her anymore.
*
On the tenth day, Concubine Yin of Prince Rui's Mansion sent someone to deliver a cart of meat, eggs, fish and other non-vegetarian ingredients as well as some vegetables, fruits and melons.
Seeing the joy of everyone in the courtyard, Fang Qingge had no choice but to accept it and verbally expressed his gratitude again.
Today is the tenth day since the prince left, and Fang Qingge wrote it down stroke by stroke in a small notebook.
She was still wondering why she hadn't received the prince's letter of safety yet. She held her chin with her hand, feeling even more worried.
in the afternoon,
Xiaodouzi reported outside the door,
"Master, Master Qin from the outer courtyard wants you to go to the outer study in person.
Lord Qin said that the matter was of great importance and he could not enter the inner courtyard, so he asked you to go alone."
"Okay, I'll go right away. The prince must have sent the news. Qin Huai is not in a position to make it public."
"Yes, then Mammy will take you there."
"No need, Madam Jiang, I'll go alone. Qin Huai wants to avoid being seen."
Fang Qingge hurriedly tidied her clothes and went to the outer courtyard alone.
*
Her hurried steps happened to be seen by a senior palace maid who was spying secretly in the courtyards.
If you look closely, you will recognize that this is Juan'er, the senior palace maid serving Concubine Zhang.
Juan'er did not retreat in a hurry, but hid in the corner and waited for Fang Qingge.
After a long time,
She saw Fang Qingge coming in from the outer courtyard with a happy face, and she also heard the pleasant voice of Lord Qin Huai speaking under the hanging flower gate. Juan'er's eyes sparkled.
She watched Fang Qingge hurried back to Yi Qiu Courtyard, and then she sneaked back to Dongyuan.
*
Dongyuan,
"Concubine, Madam Concubine."
As soon as Juan'er entered the courtyard, she started shouting anxiously,
"Juan'er, why are you making such a fuss?"
Concubine Zhang's wet nurse scolded unhappily.
Juan'er quickly restrained her expression, slowed down her pace, and reported outside the door.
"Concubine, I have discovered something important."
"Oh, come in and talk."
"Here."
As the senior palace maid Juan'er entered the room, she happened to see Concubine Qian standing in the room with her face covered with a veil.
She was distracted for a moment, looking at Concubine Qian who was dressed exactly like Fang Qingge.
The same clothes, the same movements. At first glance, she almost mistook the person for Fang Liangdi.
