There is no aunt in charge of Shoukang Palace, but a eunuch in charge, whose surname is Qin.
Hearing this, Eunuch Qin's face remained calm and he bowed, "Your Majesty, the Queen isn't that stupid. If there really was a problem, she wouldn't dare send it to our Shoukang Palace. Besides, I've been asking around, and the Queen has sent it to almost every harem, and the Emperor has also had some. Much of it has already been consumed, and she even praised Madam Jiang for a whole bowl. I can't wait for another bowl."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother was extremely disdainful. "The harem is full of shallow eyes. It's just a bowl of sweet water, but they act like they have received a great favor from her and the Queen."
Eunuch Qin knew that the Queen Mother had disliked Jiang Ying since the last time she met him.
Smartly following the Queen Mother's words, she said, "Yes."
The Queen Mother raised her eyelids and stared at Eunuch Qin suspiciously, "Tell me, is there any deeper meaning behind the Queen's behavior?
"Also, you just had a bowl of that ice jelly. Tell me, what does it taste like? Is it really that delicious?"
For this question, the first one is fine, Eunuch Qin has formed a standard answer to how to answer it!
He can talk a lot without thinking.
But the second one... He paused and thought to himself, even if I speak against my conscience, what can I do!
"Your Majesty, it's just so-so. It's not as delicious as what our kitchen makes. But since it was given by the Queen, and those who come after her have to make a living under the Queen, they have no choice but to flatter her."
Eunuch Qin tried to keep his eyelids lowered as usual, so that outsiders wouldn't be able to see his true thoughts. "As for why you mentioned the Queen? I guess you're trying to show off your good personal relationship with the future Princess Mo, secretly competing with Concubine Chen."
The Queen Mother leaned on the chaise longue, slowly changing into a comfortable position, her expression full of sarcasm, "Perhaps. The Emperor's temperament has been mild since he was young, and he can't say a word. He's not as good as Prince Yu who is eloquent and can make me happy. The late Emperor was also like that. Why did he insist on passing the throne to him instead of-"
"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words!" Eunuch Qin was shocked and interrupted.
The Queen Mother raised her lips in a sarcastic smile. "What are you afraid of? We're in my palace now. How could these words get out? If they do get out, it will be your fault, old man!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Eunuch Qin hurriedly bowed, his waist almost bent at a ninety-degree angle! "It's all because of me, the old servant, who didn't take good care of Shoukang Palace, that I made Her Majesty upset."
The Queen Mother then waved her hand and said, "Forget it, get up."
She just wanted to say that the emperor himself was incompetent and none of the concubines he liked was pleasing to his eyes.
Eunuch Qin was too cautious and careful, so he was too lazy to say anything.
He only ordered Eunuch Qin, "Go, pour this ice powder into the backyard and feed it to the dogs. I don't want to see anything related to Jiang!
"She's nosy and always trying to attract attention. It's obvious that she's not someone who would settle down!
"If I were the emperor, I would give a woman like this a good scolding and throw her into a nunnery, which would be considered a pollution to the Buddhist sanctuary. Yet he still praises her like she's nothing. It really makes me so angry!"
Eunuch Qin lowered his head even more and dared not speak.
It is difficult to say whether the Queen Mother was harsh on the Emperor because she disliked him and therefore annoyed everyone he liked, or because she hated Jiang Ying and was harsh on him.
In short, whenever she is unhappy, she will do many things.
Just as Eunuch Qin was about to step out of the door, the Queen Mother spoke again, "Qin Shouyi, tell my small kitchen to make a few snacks as a reward. I want to see, they have used all their nice words to flatter the Queen, so what can they use to flatter me!"
Eunuch Qin, “…”
Why is this?
But of course, he didn't dare say it out loud!
The empress dowager was bored and wanted to mess with the masters in the harem. Not to mention him, even the emperor couldn't say anything.
However, when Eunuch Qin brought the ice jelly made by Jiang Ying to the backyard, the honest little eunuch was about to pour it out to feed the dogs, but was stopped by him.
"Wait a minute, the Queen Mother wants us to do another thorough inspection to see if there are any problems. You all go down, I will check it out and handle it myself."
"Yes." The young eunuchs dared not disobey.
After a while, Qin Shouyi didn't bother to test it and just gulped it down.
The Queen Mother really doesn't know how to enjoy such a good thing. After he drank that bowl, the place where his broken limb was located felt warm, as if it had been unearthed.
Could it be that I’m going to have a little brother?
His family was poor and suffered from drought, so he was sent here to be castrated and become a eunuch. He spent most of his life climbing up to the position of head eunuch in Shoukang Palace. He was highly valued by the empress dowager and basically had whatever he wanted. Unfortunately, the missing part could never be recovered.
Qin Shouyi dreamed of continuing the relationship, so that the beautiful ladies in his house wouldn't have to borrow those tools every time!
Gulp gulp——
Qin Shouyi drank several large bowls in one breath.
Finally, he disposed of the bowl and walked towards the kitchen as if nothing had happened.
He happened to run into the young eunuch he had just been with.
The latter asked with concern, "Eunuch Qin, has the dog drunk? Do you need my help?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shouyi glared at him fiercely, and was about to scold him when he suddenly burped.
The young eunuch shrugged his nose and said, "Eunuch Qin, why does this smell like..."
"Get lost!" Qin Shouyi's face flushed. "Go find a place to hide. I don't want to see you for three days! When you come out, think about how you should behave.
He drank the dog food that the Queen Mother had poured out and the Queen Mother found out. She didn't punish him, but Qin Shouyi decided to let the eunuch keep it a secret for him since it was such a shameful thing!
