Su Danruo and Qu Cheng'an frowned at the same time when they heard this.
What did the empress want to ask Zhang Ma by summoning her back to the palace at this time?
There shouldn't be any flaws between the two of them.
However, Sudan Ruo was still a little worried, she guessed:
"Could it be that the Empress is impatient and wants Aunt Zhang to strike first?"
Qu Chengan shook his head and analyzed:
"Probably not. If the Empress really couldn't wait any longer, she would have summoned me to the palace instead of letting a maid who hasn't earned your trust do it.
Besides, if Aunt Zhang were to take action, everyone would definitely suspect the Empress, so you can rest assured for now. We'll just observe carefully after Aunt Zhang returns."
With the analysis of Qu Cheng'an, his "military advisor", Sudan Ruo suddenly felt much more at ease.
Sudanruo has an inexplicable sense of trust in Qu Cheng'an.
Perhaps it is because if the Sultan knows that he is the protagonist of this world, as long as he is around, basically nothing will go wrong.
Imperial Palace.
The empress was half lying on her dragon couch to rest, with several beautiful male concubines serving her.
Nanny Zhang knelt down and dared not say a word.
The empress closed her eyes and said nonchalantly:
"I asked you to look after them, but you made yourself unable to get out of bed for days. I don't know why I chose you in the first place.
Tell me, have you gained anything these days? "
Nanny Zhang quickly said, "Your Majesty, I've seen General Su and this hostage prince have a very close relationship in the palace these past few days."
The empress showed an expression that said, "As expected."
"Okay, there's nothing special about asking you to come this time. I just want to warn you to be careful, monitor their movements, and report to me at any time.
Don't always wait for me to find you, I don't have that much time."
Nanny Zhang nodded repeatedly in agreement, and the empress waved her hand to indicate that she could leave.
Nanny Zhang fled from the hall.
The empress raised her eyelids and asked the person beside her:
"Am I that scary?"
The male concubine quickly flattered:
"Your Majesty is a celestial being. Who would not admire your majesty's divine power upon seeing him?"
The empress was so happy that she chuckled and hugged the person in her arms.
"Let me taste and see if your little mouth is smeared with honey."
......
Only after returning to the Su Mansion did Nanny Zhang feel relieved.
It is true that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. It is still more relaxed in the Su Mansion.
At least I don't have to worry about being beheaded by General Su.
When Sang'er went out to help Sudan Ruocai buy things, Nanny Zhang just came back and the two met.
Son'er said to Aunt Zhang:
"You're finally back. I see your injuries are much better now. The general even said today that she wanted to eat your cooking! Ever since she tasted your cooking, she can't eat the chef's food anymore."
In fact, Nanny Zhang’s foot was not completely healed, but since she had already gone to the palace today, she could no longer use her foot injury as an excuse to rest.
Aunt Zhang gave a wry smile and complimented Sonny:
"Don't worry, Miss Sang'er. I will go and prepare dinner tonight. I will make sure that General Su is satisfied."
Only then did Sonny go out satisfied.
Sudan Ruoke specifically told her to assign more work to Aunt Zhang when she had nothing to do, and to make sure Aunt Zhang felt involved in the family.
Sang'er didn't understand what a sense of participation meant. She only knew that her mistress asked her to assign more work to Aunt Zhang.
After receiving the order, Nanny Zhang endured the pain in her feet and went directly to the kitchen to direct everyone to prepare dinner.
In the evening, Sudanruo met Aunt Zhang and tasted the cooking skills of Aunt Zhang that she had been longing for.
Nanny Zhang stood by and served as before.
The Sultan pretended to be nonchalant and asked:
"Madam Zhang, is there anything that brought you to the palace today?"
Aunt Zhang dodged her gaze for a moment and said cautiously:
"The young maidservant who replaced me by your Majesty didn't know the rules, so your Majesty asked me to go back and teach her some more rules."
Sultan pretended to be shocked and said:
"Will Madam Nanny have to go back frequently to teach the palace maids etiquette? How can she be a good housekeeper of the Su Mansion?"
Nanny Zhang was afraid that the Sultan would send her back to the palace, so she quickly explained:
"This kind of thing will never happen again in the future, General Su, please rest assured."
Sultan nodded and smiled:
"That's good. I've been hoping to eat meals cooked by Aunt Zhang every day! Aunt Zhang's foot hasn't fully healed yet? There's nothing to worry about here. If you're not feeling well, go back and rest!"
Nanny Zhang gave Sultanruo a look of gratitude.
After bowing to everyone, he went back to his room.
If the Sultan saw that there was indeed nothing unusual about Nanny Zhang, he would think that Qu Cheng'an had guessed it right.
This time the empress summoned her into the palace probably just to confirm whether the relationship between her and Qu Cheng'an was as she thought.
Su Danruo and Qu Cheng'an looked at each other, and Qu Cheng'an quickly put down the chicken leg he had just picked up.
Su Danruo found it funny, picked up the bowl next to him, filled a bowl of seafood porridge for Qu Chengan and handed it to him.
"Your Highness should drink more porridge!"
Qu Cheng'an took the bowl from Sudanruo's hand. The seafood porridge was much better than the white porridge in front of him.
Qu Chengan took a few sips before he felt like he was finally alive again.
No one knows that his favorite food in his life is seafood.
However, Jingyong Kingdom is not near the sea, so it is almost impossible to eat fresh seafood.
Now that we are in Fengyang Kingdom, we can eat as much as we want.
Qu Cheng'an said to Sudan Ruo:
"Your Majesty asked Madam Zhang to come to the palace today, probably because Madam Zhang hadn't given Your Majesty any useful information recently.
I'll find time in the next two days to give her a letter, otherwise she might find me next."
The Sultan expressed his understanding and asked:
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
Qu Chengan pondered for a while and said:
"If possible, General, please play some more tricks with me in front of Aunt Zhang these few days, and leave the rest to me."
Sudan nodded in agreement, "Don't worry! I promise to cooperate actively."
For Qu Cheng'an, Nanny Zhang had already laid the groundwork for him yesterday. As long as he passed the message to the empress, the empress would not be suspicious of him.
Qu Chengan just didn't want to miss this opportunity to bring the two of them closer.
Starting from the next day, Qu Cheng'an began to stick to Su Danruo all the time.
If Sudan ate, he would feed her; if Sudan ate melon seeds, he would catch them with his hands.
When Nanny Zhang saw the two of them, Qu Cheng'an was feeding Su Danruo a bunch of grapes.
Aunt Zhang lowered her head, smiled, and walked past silently.
Sudanruo felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, and when he saw Nanny Zhang leave, he quickly pushed Qu Cheng'an away.
"Your Highness, aren't you going a little too far?"
Qu Cheng'an knew that haste makes waste, so he quietly widened the distance between the two of them.
"I'm sorry, General Su, I've wronged you. I will double your compensation in the future."
