Chapter 235 Crab
Her words made the queen feel relieved.
If it were someone else, he would probably have to say green tea words just to please her.
Yes, that's normal, but it's still a bit boring.
After talking for a while, the Queen said, "Let's go today. I saw some beautiful places in this palace yesterday. They must have been newly renovated last year. You can go for a walk if you have nothing to do, but be careful not to get heatstroke."
Shen Chuliu and others stood up, thanked the Queen, and went out.
After leaving Heqing Palace, Li Chongrong said again: "I was wrong just now. Fang Xiaoyi's mouth is not as good as Sister Jing's."
Shen Chuliu smiled and got on the sedan chair: "It's hot, let's go back."
Li Chongrong also smiled and got on the sedan chair.
Only these three ladies could ride in the sedan chair, while everyone else had to walk.
Lady Zhen glanced ahead, then turned back to look at Fang Xiaoyi: "Fang Xiaoyi is so favored, why is she still lacking in confidence?"
After saying this, she held the maid's hand and walked away.
Fang Xiaoyi stood there, really not knowing what to say.
"She is the cousin of the emperor. She is always different. Now that her sister is favored, she naturally attracts more attention. I'm used to it." Yu Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Look at me, I can't do this."
"Sister, what are you talking about? The Emperor treats you and me the same. Sister, I just lack some time."
Fang Xiaoyi comforted her, saying that Yu Xiaoyi had only served him in bed once when she was in the palace.
Coming here, of course, I have never had this experience before.
"I just...ah, I've served the emperor for so many years, but I haven't made any contributions, and I'm just one of the nine concubines." She said this in a low voice.
To be honest, I was feeling very upset this morning, but I didn't dare to offend Jing Xiuyi, nor could I afford to offend Lady Zhen.
As for Meng Baolin, she didn't care about him and would deal with him sooner or later.
So all this anger was directed at Ning Chongyi.
After all, she has no family background and no children.
"She is an old lady after all. Look at Concubine Song Zhaoyi, she hasn't been to the emperor's bed for thousands of years. Isn't she also a Zhaoyi? Those who come out of the Qiandi Palace are always different."
Yu Xiaoyi and Fang Xiaoyi walked and explained softly.
"My sister is right. But if she really had the ability, she wouldn't be worse than those who entered the palace later." Fang Xiaoyi snorted.
Yu Xiaoyi smiled in agreement, but didn't say anything too profound.
The two of them went back to their respective places. Fang Xiaoyi, on the other hand, put away her previous angry look and looked as if she was thinking about something.
Ning Chongyi is not a person like Song Zhaoyi.
As for Song Zhaoyi? Everyone knows that she entered the palace and was taken care of by the Empress much earlier. She has always been an honest person with no sense of existence.
So the emperor treated her well, and everyone gave her some face.
But there is a prerequisite, that is, Song Zhaoyi has not had sex with the emperor for several years.
Of course it doesn't matter.
But Ning Chongyi is different. Although she is also born in the Qiandi Palace, she is still favored and is one of the nine concubines.
How can it not attract attention?
If you climb high, you need support, but Ning Chongyi's support is the emperor's favor.
This is really frustrating.
"Xiaoyi, what do you want to eat for lunch? Someone from the kitchen came to ask you, and they said you can just tell them what you want to eat." Mingzhu came over and smiled apologetically.
Fang Xiaoyi waved her hand with some disinterest, but suddenly said, "Ask them to make me a crab meat soup."
"Yes." Mingzhu thought to herself, this soup is not easy to get. Now is not the best time for crabs.
But let the kitchen take care of the problem. Since it is located near the mountains and the water, there will definitely be some crabs there.
But as luck would have it, the kitchen got the news and of course had no choice but to go catch crabs in the river.
Yuanxiao took two eunuchs from the palace to pick lotus flowers in the river and put them in a vase for Shen Chuliu.
They knew that their master liked all kinds of flowers, especially flowers like this one with a light fragrance that had no effect.
Now it is the end of May and the lotus flowers are just beginning to bloom, so Yuanxiao can be found all over the world.
You have to find one that is half open, otherwise it won't be a bud.
This is when he met the man from the kitchen. When the man from the kitchen met him, he quickly greeted him.
Yuanxiao asked: "Why are you here? Fishing?"
"No, the fish are all sent in from outside. Although there are some in the palace, they are not big when it is not in season. Generally, fresh ones are sent in from outside." The eunuch in the kitchen wiped his sweat and said, "Fang Xiaoyi wants to eat crab meat soup. Don't you think this is embarrassing? It is not the season. Well, we can only fish in the river. The fish in the river are all small. Now there is no meat. It is tiring."
The eunuch was really unhappy. It was too much trouble.
Fang Xiaoyi didn't give any tips to the kitchen, and even if she did, it wouldn't be his turn to take the money.
"Hey, after all, it's the master who wants it, what else can we do?" Yuan Xiao smiled and patted him: "Go ahead."
The eunuch snorted: "What master..."
"Hey, don't say such things carelessly, you will only get yourself into trouble. Go quickly, otherwise it will be your trouble if you are late." Yuanxiao said with a smile.
The eunuch smiled gratefully and left.
Yuanxiao picked the flowers and came back, putting them in the vase, then told Shen Chuliu about the matter.
Shen Chuliu tilted her head and asked, "When I was first favored, was the kitchen also so attentive?"
"My Lord, of course there are. It's just that you don't care." Zi Rui said: "Later, when you were promoted for the first time, the kitchen did the same."
"Well, I'm not as good as others. This earth-shattering thing is indeed the work of the favored Master Xiaoyi." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"It was such a shocking thing, but it soon became known to others. With so many people going to the river to catch crabs, it was not something that could be kept secret. Besides, those little guys down there wouldn't be any benefits for them, so how could they be willing to keep it a secret?" Zhemei said.
"That's good too, it shows that Fang Xiaoyi is favored." Shen Chuliu said.
"My master doesn't know that there are many people in the harem who are envious of such things, and even more who are jealous." Zi Rui said.
Shen Chuliu just smiled. She didn't care. If she had to rely on this to show that she was favored, wouldn't she just be able to watch the show? Sure enough, the news that Fang Xiaoyi wanted to eat crab meat soup and the kitchen was tired of catching crabs in the river spread out.
However, it is true that I made a lot of money.
It took more than thirty of them to make a bowl of soup.
The main reason is that the crabs at this time are small and thin, and it is difficult to catch crabs in the river.
In any case, Fang Xiaoyi's crab meat soup was served to the table.
At this time, she was unaware of the rumors outside, but she was satisfied in her heart.
This is the benefit of being favored. Only when you are favored can you have such benefits.
If you are not favored, who will care about your order? You still have to pay money? But today, she asked the kitchen to send such a dish, but she didn't remember to give the kitchen money.
Because when the people from the kitchen came to ask before, it was Mingzhu who answered the phone, and Mingzhu did not dare to give the money without the knowledge of her master.
When the meal was delivered, the host didn't even mention any reward.
