Chapter 611: Selling Good Things in a Roundabout Way
"I saw some newly-tributed seafood in the small kitchen, so I specially cooked a pot of seafood porridge for you. This thing is rare and you don't see it often. Can you give it to me, Miss?" Yunlu said with a smile.
Lu Xiang stared in astonishment: "Aunt, you used such precious things to make porridge for me. It would be bad if the queen knew about it."
In the previous life, the Xiao family was wealthy, and although seafood was rare, Xiao Muheng could still afford it given his status and position at the time.
But this is in the palace.
She also couldn't take herself too seriously and use the Queen's things at will.
Yun Lu didn't care. She winked at Lu Xiang and said with a smile, "No matter how precious and rare the seafood is, it is not as important as you, young lady. As long as young lady likes or wants something, the queen will send it to you."
This is the love that the Queen has for the Third Miss.
Although they are not mother and daughter, they are more like biological children.
She has been with the Empress for so many years, and even though she is now serving the Third Miss and is not in the palace, she is still one of the people who knows the Empress best.
It’s just some seafood, nothing serious.
"Miss, don't just stand there. Come into the hall and sit down." Yun Lu said, urging again.
"What seafood?"
At this time, Song Zhenzhen's puzzled voice came from the hall, and then she appeared at the door. When she saw the gurgling aroma coming out of the pot in Yunlu's hand, her eyes suddenly tightened.
So it was really the seafood flavor that she understood.
For so many years, she had never eaten seafood in Jingren Palace. Every time, the Queen Mother sent it to the Anguo Mansion. But today, Yunlu actually made a pot of seafood by herself to please Lu Xiang...
Song Zhenzhen felt like her heart was about to break.
"Cousin." Yun Lu called respectfully but did not answer Song Zhenzhen's words.
Seeing this, Song Zhenzhen suppressed her displeasure and said, "Aunt Yunlu, from what I heard from you, the queen didn't seem to have given any instructions. If the queen blames me, Sister Xiang'er will be in trouble."
Beneath her caring words was an unconcealable jealousy.
Yunlu pursed her lips, wanting to say that the Queen Mother had always asked the Third Miss to treat Jingren Palace as her own home and would not blame her for such a thing. But then she thought of Song Zhenzhen's identity, and knew that if she said so, it would probably make her cousin feel resentful and bring resentment from the Third Miss.
However, Yunlu's silence made Song Zhenzhen think that she was guilty.
Just a breath of foul air was exhaled, and an even more unwilling emotion swept through the body like a strong wind.
She seemed to have heard a nap just now, so Lu Xiang entered the palace earlier than her, and even accompanied the Queen for lunch, so she was sleeping in the side hall before she came.
Lu Xiang...
How could she deserve such favor from the Queen...
Song Zhenzhen clenched her fists, and soon smiled sweetly and said, "The queen is still taking a nap, and Aunt Yunlu will say that this was made for the queen. We will keep our mouths shut."
She was trying to be nice in a roundabout way so that Yunlu would remember this favor.
Yunlu's mouth twitched slightly. She was speechless about Song Zhenzhen's self-satisfaction. Just as she was about to explain it clearly, she heard Queen Song's faint voice.
"Why are you standing at the door and not going in?"
Upon seeing this, everyone bowed and greeted him.
Song Zhenzhen gave Yunlu a meaningful look, then walked to Queen Song's side gracefully and said in a friendly manner, "Aunt, Zhenzhen came out because she smelled the fragrance. Now she saw the seafood porridge that Aunt Yunlu made especially for you."
