Chapter 374 How did the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law become sisters?
Concubine Pang looked at the table full of stir-fried dishes with chili peppers and her eyes lit up.
Seeing the joy in the queen's eyes, Gu Xiaoxi asked, "Does the queen like spicy food too?"
"I like it, I like it very much. Do you know that when I was young, I ate rice with chili peppers?
Later, after giving birth, I became sick more often and was afraid to eat this or that." Concubine Pang pouted sadly.
After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi said, "There's nothing wrong with you. Eat whatever you want."
"Really?" Concubine Pang was a little bit unbelievable.
Nanny Yang beside them said, "Those imperial doctors in the palace are always complaining about the master's condition, leaving us servants at a loss as to what to do."
"The imperial physician has to take responsibility when treating the empress, so they are naturally very cautious." Gu Xiaoxi could understand their approach.
After hearing this, Nanny Yang felt that it was true.
"Dan'er, add two more sets of bowls and chopsticks." Gu Xiaoxi ordered.
"Yes!" Daner took the order and left, and soon brought over the dishes and chopsticks.
"Empress, Madam Yang, if you don't mind, please sit down and eat with us." Gu Xiaoxi said as she pulled the two of them to sit down at the table.
"No, no, no, how can an old servant sit down to eat with the master?" Nanny Yang hurriedly stood up.
Concubine Pang waved to Nanny Yang and said, "This is the prince's residence, not the palace. Xiaoxi asked you to sit down, so please sit down."
After she finished speaking, she picked up her chopsticks and tasted the stir-fried pork with chili peppers. The long-lost feeling in her mouth made her feel better.
"Your Majesty, you can't eat this dish every day. Wait a few days, and your medicine will stop. You can eat whatever you like. Today, just try it." Gu Xiaoxi then remembered that the Queen was still taking medicine, and logically, she couldn't eat these spicy things.
"Okay, you are the doctor, I will listen to you." After saying this, Concubine Pang picked up another dish and stuffed it into her mouth.
After hearing what her master said, Madam Yang had no choice but to sit down. She looked at the dishes on the table, which were all the ones her master liked to eat before entering the palace.
"I didn't expect that our tastes are similar, and these are all my favorites.
"By the way, can I drink?" asked Concubine Pang.
"You can drink, but drink less. It's the same as before. After you stop taking the medicine, it's also good to drink some health wine. Just don't get drunk. It will make you feel uncomfortable." Gu Xiaoxi nodded.
Hearing that she could drink, Concubine Pang didn't care anymore and asked Dan'er to get the wine.
"You don't know the miserable days I've been living in the palace. I've been watched by the Queen every day. If Li'er is even slightly better than the eldest prince, the Queen will definitely come to cause trouble for me.
Queen…” Before Concubine Pang even drank, she began to list the Queen’s evil deeds.
Gu Xiaoxi listened carefully, listening to a poor woman pouring out her grievances.
When the wine came, the two of them started drinking it one glass at a time.
Everything was normal at first, but when he drank a little more, Madam Yang noticed something was wrong.
How did the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law become sisters? Moreover, the two of them were arm in arm.
this……
What should I do?
She looked for help at Ying Yi who was standing beside her and serving her.
Yingyi felt that this was quite good. Before, the master was worried that there was a problem with the way the queen and Sister Xiaoxi got along, but now it seems that there is no problem at all.
"Xiaoxi, when you are free, please make me some grilled fish. I can't even remember how many years it has been since I last had that." As Concubine Pang spoke, she thought of the time when she secretly ran away as a child and went to the river with other children to catch and grill fish, and was punished when she came back.
hehe……
Everything seemed like yesterday. Now, her children have grown up and are old enough to get married.
It’s a pity that she lost a child. If that child were still alive, her grandchildren would be grown up.
"Okay, I'll do it for you!" Gu Xiaoxi agreed readily.
"I have been looking forward to Li'er getting married and having children. Please don't make me wait too long. I am afraid I won't be able to wait until that time..." Concubine Pang said again.
"Empress!" Nanny Yang didn't like to hear the Empress say this.
"There's nothing I can't say. That damn queen hasn't wanted me to live for a long time. Every day I live is a blessing." Concubine Pang said this openly.
Nanny Yang fell silent sadly.
Gu Xiaoxi looked at Concubine Pang, who was carrying too much, and patted her hand sympathetically and said, "Don't worry, if it weren't for Ye Lixuan and me, we would kill them!"
"Xiaoxi! Master Jin beside the eldest prince is so powerful. It is too difficult to deal with them. I guess this time it was the work of Master Jin." Concubine Pang looked worried.
"Don't worry, your Majesty. That so-called Master Jin is just a rookie. I fought him before when I accompanied Ye Lixuan into the palace.
The powerful one now is not him, but Master Gan who is beside Concubine Yun.
Since the eldest prince wants to make a contribution so much, let them fight each other.
Besides, when I left, I put something on Master Jin, and that thing is contagious. I guess Master Jin and the Crown Prince won't have an easy time these days." Gu Xiaoxi told Concubine Pang to put her mind at ease.
Hahaha……
When Concubine Pang heard the good news, she laughed heartily without any concealment.
Nanny Yang never thought that Miss Xiaoxi was so powerful and could even do something to Master Jin. It really made her look at her in a different light.
"Haha, Ma'am Yang, look at how capable my daughter-in-law is. She's nothing like the mediocre girls that the eldest prince looks for." After saying this, Concubine Pang drank another glass of wine.
Concubine Pang hadn't drunk for a long time, so she fell on the table after a few drinks.
Gu Xiaoxi was very sober. She drank all the remaining wine in the jar, then took out a silver needle and gave Concubine Pang two injections to prevent her from feeling uncomfortable when she woke up the next morning.
After the acupuncture, she went forward, carried Concubine Pang on her back and sent her back to the house.
Seeing that Gu Xiaoxi had drunk a lot of wine, Nanny Yang was worried that her master might fall, so she hurriedly followed.
Yingyi stepped forward, grabbed Madam Yang and said, "Don't worry, Miss Xiaoxi has a big appetite, she won't get drunk with this little wine."
After hearing Yingyi say this, Nanny Yang slowed down.
When the two of them followed into the house, Gu Xiaoxi had already put Concubine Pang on the bed and covered her with a quilt.
Gu Xiaoxi gave some instructions to Nanny Yang and left the room. When she came out, she ran into Ye Lixuan who was just coming back from outside.
As soon as Ye Lixuan entered the room, he heard his subordinates report that Xiaoxi and his mother had been drinking. He was not worried at all that his mother had drunk too much, because he knew that Xiaoxi was well-informed about what she was doing.
"You've been out for the whole afternoon. Did you get any good news?" Gu Xiaoxi reeked of alcohol and wanted to drink some tea.
Ye Lixuan led her to the main hall and asked the servants to serve tea. Then he told Gu Xiaoxi the news he had found out today.
"They sent many people to the imperial mausoleum. Strangely, neither Master Jin nor the eldest prince went there in person. Moreover, they were both ill.
In the afternoon, they sent someone to the palace to fetch the imperial physician, but my people haven't come back with any news yet." Ye Lixuan finished drinking all the tea in his cup.
"Are there any moves from Concubine Yun's people?" Gu Xiaoxi asked again.
Ye Lixuan smiled after hearing this and said, "This time, the eldest prince didn't take action, but the third prince did."
