Chapter 177 Small Kitchen Trouble

Fearing that the kitchen was unsafe, Nanny Li took Xia Miaoyuan to the yard outside the kitchen to play.

"Let's play here for a while, and soon the dumplings will be cooked, and your dough cat will be cooked too." Nanny Li said as she took a doll for Xia Miaoyuan to hold and play with.

[Oh, so boring! It's better to play in the small kitchen. ]

Xia Miaoyuan arranged the doll's braids into various shapes, suppressing the annoyance in her heart.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from the small kitchen. The voice was not loud, and it was impossible to tell who it was.

"What's wrong? Is any noble hurt?" The little maid guarding the door ran in immediately.

"Lipin, why are you like this!" The angry voice of Concubine Shu.

Xia Miaoyuan and Li Ma also ran to the door and looked inside.

They saw Lipin holding a tray with a plate of dumplings on it. Zhoupin

stood aside, blowing her hand to her mouth, her brows tightly wrinkled, as if she was enduring pain.

Shufei was watching Zhoupin with concern.

Looking down at the ground, a dozen dumplings were rolling on the ground, and a magnetic plate was smashed to pieces.

It turned out that some of the dumplings had just been cooked, and Shufei came forward and took out the cooked dumplings one by one. She

had just taken out two plates and put them on the stove, and the eunuch in charge of serving food had not had time to take them away.

At this time, Lipin and Anpin hurriedly took a tray each and rushed to put the dumplings on their own trays.

Lipin was quick-witted and took the lead. She grabbed a plate and put it on her own tray, and wanted to grab the other plate as well. Anpin

refused to comply. She grabbed the plate with both hands and pushed it towards her.

While the two were fighting, the plate of dumplings fell.

As a result, Zhoupin was sitting in front of the stove and a plate of dumplings just out of the pot hit Zhoupin's hand.

The hot dumplings immediately burned Zhoupin's hand red.

"I...I...I'm sorry, Sister Zhou." Lipin apologized perfunctorily, picked up the tray and turned to leave.

As she walked, she said, "The emperor is still waiting to eat dumplings, so this first plate must be brought to the emperor first."

Shufei glared at Lipin's back.

The other concubines also glared at Lipin's figure angrily.

While everyone was stunned, Anpin actually condescended to pick up the colander and personally scooped up another plate of dumplings, holding it in her hand and walked out.

"I have to hurry up, too! Otherwise the dumplings will get cold."

Rongpin threw her apron to the ground and scolded, "These two are used to being lazy and slacking off. They obviously haven't done any work at all, but they still want to take away the fruits of everyone's labor and bring them to the emperor to seek credit!"

Lady Lu echoed, "That's right, it's always like this. Wasn't it the same when the concubines went to learn silk reeling that year?"

Xia Miaoyuan shook her head. [I still have some impression of it. In the book, they are lazy and slacking off. But this behavior of not working and taking credit is really ugly. ]

[When I was working 996, I hated people like this the most. 】

The queen was also very angry with these two sneaky guys. When she was suppressed by Concubine Jiang and had no real power, they did this.

Now that Jiang was gone and she was in charge of the harem, they dared to do this. They really didn't take her seriously.

"Sister Zhou, come with me to apply some medicine." Concubine Shu pulled Concubine Zhou and was about to go out.

"Wait!" The queen grabbed Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu was puzzled.

Several small blisters had appeared on the back of Concubine Zhou's hand.

"Don't apply medicine yet, wait and talk about it."

Concubine Shu seemed to understand the queen's meaning and smiled slightly.

...

Just when the little episode happened in the small kitchen, two dark shadows slipped into the inner room of the Qianqing Palace.

"Reporting to your majesty, the matter failed." One of the dark shadows whispered in a difficult tone.

Xia Zhengqi stood in the darkness and shouted in a suppressed voice: "What? With your skills, you two actually failed?"

"In fact, it was quite smooth at the beginning. Just when my subordinate aimed at him and wanted to shoot the sleeve arrow, I didn't expect that the arrow would get stuck."

Xia Zhengqi...

No way! Is it so coincidental?

Could Liang Chaozong really be the chosen son of heaven? !

Xia Zhengqi was confused for a moment.

He sighed silently and said, "You guys go down. We'll discuss this later."

After Cheng Feng and Ying Chen left, Xia Zhengqi also walked out and walked to the small hall for dinner.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the gorgeously dressed Lipin and Anpin, placing dumplings on the table.

"Your Majesty, you are here! Come and taste my craftsmanship!" Lipin spoke first and coquettishly.

"Your Majesty, these dumplings are just out of the pot, they are delicious, please try them, I made them myself!" Concubine An was not to be outdone.

"Oh, your nails are so long, and they are inlaid with gems, can you make dumplings?" Concubine Rong's voice came.

The empress and concubines rushed in, just in time to see Concubine Li and Concubine An competing for the credit.

Xia Zhengqi had just suffered a huge blow and was in a very low mood. He walked into the small hall and didn't even look at Concubine Li and Concubine An.

When he heard the two concubines flattering him, he wanted to say a compliment and just perfunctorily deal with them.

But when he heard the words long nails and inlaid with gems, he got angry all of a sudden.

Xia Zhengqi immediately focused his eyes and looked at the hands of Lipin and Anpin. He saw that the four hands really had long nails, and there were colorful gems on the nails that were shining.

[Hahahahaha! Lipin, Anpin, are you two stupid?] Xia Miaoyuan had already covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

[Just now, other concubines had their long nails cut short in order to make dumplings. You two were lazy and cunning. You didn't do anything the whole time because you didn't want to cut your nails.]

Xia Zhengqi glared at Lipin and Anpin with his big eyes.

What? You didn't do anything! And you dare to talk nonsense!

Xia Miaoyuan's face was red from trying to hold back her laughter.

[Oh, no, you didn't do nothing. You grabbed the dumplings, hahahaha. After Aunt Shufei brought the dumplings out, you two rushed over to grab them.]

[As a result, you broke the plate and burned Aunt Zhoupin's hand.]

Thinking of this, Xia Miaoyuan was furious. Xia

Zhengqi became even more angry, and he looked for Zhoupin among the group of concubines.

The queen was quick to pull Zhoupin to the front of the crowd.

She said softly, "Sister Zhou, bear with it for a moment. I'll ask someone to find some burn medicine. I guess burn medicine is commonly used and should be available in the Qianqing Palace."

[Hehe! Mom is awesome! Look, I'm here to help!]

Xia Miaoyuan came to Concubine Zhou and said in a baby voice, "Auntie Zhou, I'll blow on your hand!"

She pouted her lips and blew on Concubine Zhou's injured hand.

"It won't hurt if I blow on it!" Xia Miaoyuan smiled sweetly.

"It's okay, it's just a minor injury." Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at her injured hand, Concubine Zhou retracted her hand.

The queen scolded: "What do you mean it's no problem? Look, blisters have appeared. If you don't take care of it, you will leave scars!"
