Ling Shumo had just walked a short distance out of the Anxiang Palace.
Jiufu walked over and bowed to Ling Shumo, saying, "Your Highness, Your Highness, the virtuous prince has prepared some homemade breakfast. I wonder if Your Highness is free to come over for dinner today?"
Ling Shumo is naturally free.
The group soon arrived at Chenyou Palace.
Lu Jinshu was waiting for Ling Shumo at the porch early in the morning. Seeing him, Ling Shumo quickened her pace and supported Lu Jinshu's arm. "You're pregnant, how come you don't know how to take care of yourself? You're standing by the door in the cold wind so early in the morning."
Lu Jinshu took Ling Shumo's arm and said, "Doctor Sun said that pregnant women cannot just lie down. They should move around more before giving birth. It is good for both the mother and the child."
Entered the main house.
On the left is a sky blue glazed colorful vase with double phoenixes.
Going around the golden animal-faced screen in front of you, the dining table is facing southwest.
When Ling Shumo saw the food on the table clearly, she was stunned.
Lu Jin loosened his grip on Ling Shumo's arm, poured a bowl of milk and oatmeal porridge, turned around and looked at Ling Shumo with a smile, "I added dried osmanthus flowers and brown sugar glutinous rice to the porridge. Your Highness, please try it. I imitated the porridge he made. Does it taste similar?"
The "he" that Lu Jinshu mentioned refers to the late Princess Pei Jiusheng.
Seeing Ling Shumo didn't move, Lu Jinshu scooped up a spoonful of porridge and handed it to Ling Shumo's lips. "Feng Ye, the attendant who used to serve him, has been asked by the minister to come to Chenyou Palace. If Your Highness doesn't like this bowl of oatmeal porridge, there are also apple, red dates and white fungus porridge, mushroom, chicken and vegetable porridge, and wolfberry, shrimp and corn porridge on the table from left to right. Or, Your Highness, would you like a small bowl of each kind of porridge?"
Ling Shumo swallowed a spoonful of oatmeal porridge and said, "It tastes good."
Lu Jinshu’s cooking skills are really good, and he has worked hard to imitate Pei Jiusheng, so the taste is almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
Hearing Ling Shumo's evaluation, Lu Jinshu breathed a sigh of relief, "I was originally worried that Your Highness would be angry, but now Your Highness actually praised me. I am really flattered."
Ever since Pei Jiusheng passed away.
No one in the Eastern Palace dared to mention Pei Jiusheng's name.
Even though he was an excellent cook, he did not dare to imitate Pei Jiusheng's cooking style.
When he woke up early this morning, he suddenly wanted to eat sweet dishes, so he asked Jiufu to go to the food bureau to inform the chef.
After Jiufu came back, he told him that he saw Mei Guishi (Jiang He) in the Food Bureau.
Jiufu said that Jiang He seemed to have never learned to cook, and he couldn't tell whether the food he cooked was raw or cooked.
Lu Jinshu asked Jiufu what ingredients Jiang He had prepared, and then deduced the dishes Jiang He was going to make based on the ingredients.
It took him almost no effort to guess that Ling Shumo was forcing Jiang He, who had hardly ever been in the kitchen, to take charge of breakfast.
Lu Jinshu said, "Fengye knows him better than those people in the Food Bureau. If Your Highness wants to improve Jiang He's cooking skills, why not let Fengye serve in the Anxiang Palace for a few days?"
At this time, Maple Leaf walked out from the shadow in the corner.
Under normal circumstances, if the master he served died and had no children, he should return to his family, but the entire Pei family had their property confiscated and exiled. Now he was homeless and could only stay in the East Palace to work.
Ling Shumo looked at the maple leaves.
Feng Ye, Pei Jiusheng's personal attendant, lived like a slave, just like a nobleman. He had been pampered and brought up in a pampered state until Pei Jiusheng died. Feng Ye cried until his eyes nearly went blind, and he lost a lot of weight. He now looked ten years older.
Ling Shumo said, "If you are willing to work for Jiang He, you don't have to be his personal attendant. I will let you go to the Anxiang Palace as a teaching attendant and teach him the rules and etiquette of the Eastern Palace."
Ling Shumo was talking about the "rules and etiquette of the Eastern Palace", but everyone knew that her exact meaning was to ask him to teach Jiang He and imitate Pei Jiusheng's words and deeds.
There was no reason for Maple Leaf to refuse.
Besides the fact that he could not disobey the orders of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, he himself missed the Young Master too much. If Jiang He could be more like the Young Master, looking at Jiang He would be able to ease his longing for the Young Master.
Jiufu instructed several servants to pack the package for Fengye.
Fengye went to the Anxiang Palace.
Ling Shumo sat down and had breakfast. "Until Jiang He's cooking skills improve, I'll have breakfast at your place first."
Lu Jinshu smiled and said, "As long as Your Highness is willing, you can come to Chenyou Palace for all three meals."
Ling Shumo shook her head. "That won't do. I have to remember that you are now a double. In this East Palace, no one can tire you out more than you. I shouldn't have asked you to do it earlier, but my appetite is so strong that I have to trouble you."
After Ling Shumo had breakfast, she rinsed her mouth with the help of a servant, and after simply tidying up her clothes, she went to the palace to attend the morning court.
Lu Jinshu stood up and wanted to send Ling Shumo to the door, but Ling Shumo pushed him back onto the stool, then leaned over and placed a kiss on the side of Lu Jinshu's face. "Before the baby is born, I will allow you to rest well. You don't have to greet anyone you meet in the East Palace."
Lu Jinshu's cheeks were flushed, and the corners of his lips unconsciously rose.
Ling Shumo had been staying in the Anxiang Palace these days, and he would be lying if he didn't feel uncomfortable. Now, after hearing Ling Shumo's sweet words, the haze in his heart that hadn't yet gathered was completely dispelled.
…
Anxiang Palace.
Fengye, as the person personally pointed out by Her Royal Highness the Princess, was treated as a guest of honor.
Jiang He didn't put on airs. She stood up and gave Feng Ye a half-bow. "From now on, I'll ask Officer Feng Ye to take good care of me. If I do anything wrong, please feel free to point it out. Don't hold back or be considerate of others."
Feng Ye quickly dodged and knelt in greeting, "Since I have come to the Anxiang Palace, I will naturally fulfill my due responsibilities. Please rest assured, my dear master."
Jiang He said, "Officer Maple Leaf, if it is convenient for you, could you please start teaching me now?"
Feng Ye was a little surprised that Jiang He was so proactive. Although he was currently an attendant teaching etiquette, to be honest, few masters wanted to be taught by a servant.
