Chapter 154 The Dignity of a Foodie
That night, Concubine Zhao looked at the food that was brought to her and was speechless for a long time.
According to her status, every meal had at least four dishes and one soup, usually two meat dishes and two seasonal vegetables.
But what is in front of her now?
Stir-fried cabbage, boiled cabbage, stir-fried white radish slices, boiled white radish shreds, and there is also a cabbage and radish soup.
Every dish is served in a clear soup, without any oil or meat.
The imperial kitchen treats her like a rabbit!
Lady Zhao was so angry that her eyes turned red: "They are too much of a bully."
The palace maid Yunxiang stood nearby with her neck shrunk, not daring to say a word.
Concubine Zhao was timid, and so were the palace maids around her. Even though they knew they were being bullied, they dared not say anything and could only endure it silently.
Inside the Golden Wind Hall.
Concubine Li was still copying scriptures by candlelight.
After only copying for a short while, she began to feel dizzy and her wrists ached. She wished she could tear up all the scriptures in front of her.
Caiyun walked in and said, "My Lady, it's time to eat."
Concubine Li threw away her brush and asked: "Have you finished what I asked you to do?"
"According to your Majesty's wishes, I have already informed the Imperial Kitchen that Lady Zhao will only be able to eat cabbage and radishes for every meal from now on."
Concubine Li sneered: "I have to make her suffer a little so that she knows what the consequences of offending me are."
There are several imperial kitchens in the imperial palace, one of which is specifically responsible for providing meals to the Eastern Palace.
According to the rules, the food, clothing and other expenses in the Eastern Palace should be managed by the Crown Princess, but there is no Crown Princess in the Eastern Palace now, so this authority is temporarily handled by the two concubines.
Concubine Li happened to be in charge of the meals. With just a word from her, Concubine Zhao could only eat grass for every meal.
When Concubine Li thought of Concubine Zhao's aggrieved look, who dared not speak out but was angry, she felt happy, and the pain of copying books was also alleviated a lot.
Sure enough, if you want to make yourself less miserable, you have to make others more miserable than yourself.
…
Luo Qinghan is not coming to Qingge Palace for dinner tonight, so Xiao Xixi will eat more happily alone.
She held a chicken wing in her left hand and a duck leg in her right hand. Her mouth was full of oil and she was so happy!
Seeing this, Baoqin thought that the young lady must have suffered a lot outside, otherwise why would she be so eager to eat?
Baoqin couldn't help but feel heartbroken again.
She poured a bowl of soup and placed it next to Xiao Liangdi, and gently advised: "Eat slowly, these dishes are for you alone, no one will snatch them from you."
Xiao Xixi swallowed the duck meat in her mouth and shouted excitedly: "It's so happy to have Baoqin by my side!"
Baoqin felt so embarrassed by the praise that her little face turned red.
After dinner, Xiao Xixi collapsed on the chaise longue, touched her round belly, squinted her eyes and sighed.
"It would be perfect if I could have a dessert after dinner."
Baoqin placed a plate of cut fruit next to her: "It's not good to eat dessert so late at night, eat some fruit."
Xiao Xixi didn't want to move and opened her mouth.
“Ah~~”
While Baoqin was secretly complaining that her mistress was becoming increasingly lazier, she resigned herself to picking up a piece of pear flesh and putting it into her mouth.
Xiao Xixi ate the pear flesh and praised happily, "It's so sweet."
Baoqin fed her the whole plate of fruit bite by bite.
Because she ate too much, when it was time to go to bed, Xiao Xixi felt as if the food was about to hit her throat and she felt like vomiting.
No, you can't vomit.
There is no way she could spit out the food she has already eaten!
This concerns her dignity as a foodie!
