Chapter 236 Will Arrange
She didn't dare to say it.
Sometimes she felt that her own Xiaoyi’s personality was hard to describe. Although her position was not high, her temper was really a bit strange.
The eunuchs who delivered meals in the kitchen had all made their way to the top based on their own abilities. Normally, they could not get to show their faces in front of their masters.
So the two eunuchs returned to the kitchen with dejected looks on their faces, scaring everyone in the kitchen.
"What's going on?"
The two of them shouted "Hi" and spread their hands: "What can we do? Fang Xiaoyi said it's okay."
"What then?" asked the chief eunuch who followed out of the palace to serve.
"That's it." The eunuch who delivered the meal shook his head: "I've learned a lot. This is the first time I've seen such a stingy master."
"Not a penny as a reward?" The manager was shocked.
If it were normal times, I would just forget about the reward.
After all the trouble we've put in today by mobilizing so many troops, there's actually no reward?
Tsk...this is quite interesting.
"Hey, who told us that this is what we do?" The eunuch who was delivering the food waved his hand and said, "Please ask someone to come and get it tomorrow. It's not a small gift to send it over anyway."
The steward laughed for a while and said, "Okay, I won't send you off tomorrow. You guys should be smart. You will know how to do your job in the future. Although there won't be another person who dares to smash the kitchen, don't leave any handle. Be polite when you should be polite."
The steward thought that since this master seemed to be somewhat favored now, it would be difficult for him to achieve anything great.
It's not that they really want that little bit of money, it's just that you don't do things that way.
When you are favored, everything is good. What if you are not favored one day? Besides, right now, isn't it the same? Everyone in the kitchen admires this master, but they can't say anything. It's just that in the future, this master can't eat anything he wants.
This kind of thing is not something that should be included in a small gift.
But it is strange to say that the emperor summoned Fang Xiaoyi again that night.
Everyone didn't know that during the day, the emperor saw Mr. Fang's memorial and was very happy. It seemed that the emperor really doted on Fang Xiaoyi at that moment.
After a few days, it rained and a batch of peacocks sent from the south arrived at the palace.
So Qi Yixiu directly ordered people to set up a banquet in Qianfan Tower and invited everyone to go watch the peacocks together.
Shen Chuliu went to pay his respects to the Queen early in the morning and then came back to change his clothes.
She changed into a skirt made of ten kinds of brocade, dressed up a little, and went to Qianfan Tower with Zirui and Zhemei.
When she arrived, the emperor and empress had already gone.
This is not surprising, as her residence is a little far from Qianfan Tower, but the people are still not all here. Lady Zhen has not arrived yet.
Shen Chuliu came forward to greet him, and Qi Yixiu waved his hand: "Sit down."
Shen Chuliu was sitting behind the queen.
Qianfan Building has only two floors. The second floor is a place to enjoy flowers, drink tea and view the scenery.
It's a good place to come here to see peacocks.
In addition to the concubines, there were also the second prince, the eldest princess, the second princess, and everyone else who should pay their respects also paid their respects.
Shen Chuliu looked at the Second Prince and saw that he seemed a little absent-minded.
When Lady Zhen arrived, Peacock also arrived.
Soon, there were a dozen colorful peacocks downstairs.
They have been raised for a few days and are very used to it. Now when they come in, they just look around curiously. There is food and drink in the yard, so they are not in a hurry to leave, just turn around slowly. Some are even a little lazy and have already laid down.
"This peacock is really big." Li Chongrong said with a smile. It was the first time she saw one so close.
"When I was a child, I visited the Duke of Anguo's mansion and saw a few from afar in his garden, but they were not this big."
“The ones in the palace’s zoo are not this big. After all, those that are raised in the wild grow better.” Shen Chuliu said.
"Yes, it is indeed big." Su Cairen said with a smile.
She has recovered a lot, so she came out to get some fresh air.
"Although what the sisters said makes sense, but... the free-range crabs are big, but the free-range crabs are not big." Zhang Baolin smiled with his hands covering his lips.
Everyone thought that this person was really stupid.
After all, it is rare to see someone who is worse at reading people's expressions than Concubine Jin.
Su Cairen was concentrating on her health and really didn't pay attention to this matter, so she was curious: "Why is Peacock talking about crabs? Zhang Baolin wants to eat it? It's not the right time yet."
"That's exactly what I meant. It's not the right time. How dare I trouble the kitchen? I can't make a bowl of soup with these twenty or so crabs or ask people to fish them out from the river." Zhang Baolin was waiting for someone to take over.
Su Cairen regretted it so much that he wanted to bite his tongue.
Shen Chuliu looked at Su Cairen and then laughed.
Su Cairen blushed. She was not a troublemaker, but she was so...
"Zhang Baolin, why do you say that? Although the crabs are not fat at this time, your words make me want to try them. Alas, it's a pity that the peacock cannot be eaten." Lady Zhen smiled.
"That's what Lady Zhen said. If you want to eat, you can eat as much as you want." Zhang Baolin said with a flattering smile.
This face is so ugly...
Lady Zhen is so disgusting. Is she too old to be a peacemaker?
The Queen is not dead yet...
Shen Chuliu was just drinking tea and watching when she saw Qi Yixiu put the tea bowl on the table. It was too heavy and it made a clatter.
The queen also smiled and said nothing.
Shen Chuliu thought, now besides the emperor and empress, I am the most powerful, it seems inappropriate not to speak? So she thought about it and smiled: "Hey, looking at peacocks and thinking about crabs, you really have time to spare."
Shen Chuliu smiled and pushed Qi Yixiu's tea slightly, and asked, "Please give me a favor?"
Qi Yixiu looked at her: "Hmm?"
"The Queen doesn't like to meddle in these little things. As a concubine, I am nothing in the palace. I can't flatter you here. Isn't it just that Lady Zhen wants to eat peacocks and Zhang Baolin wants to eat crabs? Is this a big deal?"
"But this peacock is so beautiful, it would be a pity to eat it. The peacock's ancestor is the pheasant, I know, there are pheasants in this palace. Why not make it for Lady Zhen. It's delicious. As for Zhang Baolin, since he likes that stalk, let him go and get it again as it is."
After Shen Chuliu finished speaking, she looked at the emperor with a smile and said, "My labor is not in vain. I only ask that when the eunuchs fish for crabs, they can fish for me some shrimps."
Qi Yixiu also smiled and said, "Jing Xiuyi is really good at making arrangements."
Everyone was worried, hoping that the emperor would punish Shen Chuliu for talking too much, but also afraid that they would be implicated.
Especially Zhang Baolin, she also felt that what she said was inappropriate at this time.
But Fang Xiaoyi was also worried.
"Then how about adding the Queen's squirrel fish and the Emperor's lotus leaf eel?" Shen Chuliu smiled ingratiatingly.
She did not lengthen the ends of her eyes today, and even made her almond-shaped eyes even rounder.
The old lady has told me that I am numb, but forget it, I still have a express delivery to pick up.
