Nian Shilan lay quietly on the bed and slept, while Guyu and Xiaoman, who were on duty at night, took a nap on the floor of the Babu bed.
Nian Shilan came to the kitchen of the palace in her dream.
She stood in the kitchen and looked around. The servants were all busy, but no one could see her. She walked around the kitchen casually.
It was strange that the steward in the kitchen was not the Li Dafu she had met a few days ago. He was a thin eunuch who looked to be around thirty.
The steward was arranging work for other people. A third-class servant accidentally knocked over the salt shaker, and the steward scolded her in a sharp voice.
Nian Shilan felt that there was nothing interesting in the kitchen, and was about to go out and look elsewhere when a head poked out of the kitchen door. It turned out to be Jiang Fuhai, a close eunuch of the Ulanara clan.
I just don't understand why he is wearing the clothes of a young eunuch, not the clothes of the steward eunuch that Nian Shilan usually sees in front of Fujin.
Jiang Fuhai poked his head and took a look, and the eunuch in charge of the kitchen happened to see him.
The eunuch in charge squinted his eyes and said, "What are you doing here? It's not dinner time yet, does Fujin have any orders?"
Jiang Fuhai put on a flattering smile and said, "Eunuch Zhou, let's send a servant over to Fujin to see if the steamed cheese and bananas for Master Fujin are ready. Fujin likes to eat this lately."
When the eunuch in charge, Eunuch Zhou, heard this, he immediately changed his smile.
"You told me earlier. Just prepare it and I'll send it over right away."
"No, no, no more working in the kitchen. You still have to instruct the big guys to prepare dinner for the masters. I can just do this little thing myself."
Jiang Fuhai waved his hands hurriedly.
"That's okay, the stuff isn't heavy. Then you can send it to Fujin, and let Fujin put some food in his stomach first. We'll send it to him later when dinner is ready." Eunuch Zhou was happy to have some leisure after hearing what Jiang Fuhai said.
Jiang Fuhai took the food box handed over by the little eunuch in the kitchen and walked out.
Nian Shilan was curious and followed him.
But he saw Jiang Fuhai carrying a food box and swerving around to reach the courtyard that Nian Shilan had seen in his dream last time - Shaoyao Pavilion.
Nian Shilan followed all the way to Shaoyao Pavilion and watched Jiang Fuhai enter the small kitchen.
Nian Shilan also followed in.
Jiang Fuhai looked around and saw no one in the kitchen. He opened the food box, took out the bowl of cheese and plantains, and then opened the steaming pot in the kitchen. There was actually a bowl of identical cheese and plantains in the pot.
The same bowl, the same flower-shaped food, and even the same color.
Jiang Fuhai replaced the original bowl of food in the food box with the bowl in the kitchen, picked up the replaced bowl of cheese and bananas, divided it into two and swallowed it, then wiped his mouth and packed the food box. , walked out of the small kitchen.
Nian Shilan couldn't understand why Jiang Fuhai did this.
But she continued to follow Jiang Fuhai's footsteps, and she arrived at a yard she had never been to before. This yard was actually next to Yinzhen's front yard.
Nian Shilan didn't have time to read the name of the plaque on the yard. Jiang Fuhai walked so fast that she almost had to trot to keep up with him.
Entering the courtyard, Nian Shilan saw the two sisters of the Uranala family, Yunxi and Yixiu. Next to them was a woman Nian Shilan didn't recognize. Judging from her dress, her status was equal to that of Yixiu.
Jiang Fuhai first handed the food box to Yunxi's personal maid, then bowed to Yunxi respectfully, knelt on the ground and said.
"Forgive me, Fujin. I went to the kitchen a little late to get the cheese and bananas. The kitchen was afraid that the food would taste bad if it was cooked in advance and left to cool. So I went to wait for a while and took the freshly cooked food. I'm here in a hurry to eat. Please give Fujin a taste."
Yunxi sat under a pomegranate tree, Yixiu stood beside her, and the unknown woman stood on the other side of her.
Yunxi stroked her round belly, which looked like she was about to give birth.
"It doesn't matter, the kitchen has thought carefully and just wants me to eat something fresh. Get up, stop kneeling, be careful because your knees hurt." Yunxi had a smile on her face, and she seemed to have a bit of motherly kindness.
"Thank you, Master Fujin." Jiang Fuhai kowtowed and stood up.
Yi Xiu stepped forward and opened the food box, and saw that the small bowl in the food box was still radiating heat.
The other woman reached out and took out the bowl, held it in front of Yunxi with both hands, and then took out a small spoon and offered it to her.
Yunxi nodded with a smile, picked up the spoon and slowly ate the bowl of sweets.
But she had just taken a few bites when she saw the woman Nian Shilan didn't recognize suddenly covered her mouth and retched.
Yunxi lost her appetite instantly and put down her spoon with a frown.
"Ms. Xu, what's wrong with you?"
The woman who was called Mrs. Xu quickly knelt down and kowtowed while replying to Yun Xi: "Master Fujin, please forgive me. I am just suffering from pregnancy discomfort. I did not mean to cause any trouble to the master."
After saying that, he kowtows like pounding garlic.
"That's all, get up. It's not easy for a woman to get pregnant. It's your first offense, so get up. Take good care of yourself. You won't have to wait for me these days."
Yunxi sighed and picked up the spoon again.
She also suffered from early pregnancy discomfort, so why bother a woman who suffered the same thing as herself.
Mrs. Xu kowtowed and thanked her. As soon as she was helped by her maid to stand up, she couldn't help it anymore, so she covered her mouth and ran outside the hospital to vomit.
Nian Shilan could tell that Xu was trying his best to suppress the indecent sound of vomiting, but it was still clearly audible through the courtyard door.
Yunxi's expression changed and she slammed the spoon in her hand on the table.
The servants and maids serving in the courtyard knelt down all over the courtyard in an instant. Yi Xiu was also stunned for a moment and knelt at Yunxi's feet.
Yunxi stretched out her hand and slowly pressed her temples that were throbbing. This scene was really off-putting. Even if she had a good temper, she couldn't make her feel nauseous over and over again.
Yunxi ordered that Xu Fujin behaved in a stateless manner and was made to kneel for an hour to let him reflect.
Xu's maid took a few steps on her knees.
"Please be kind to Fujin. Xu Fujin is four months pregnant and the fetus has just settled down. It is not appropriate to kneel for a long time. I am willing to take the punishment on Xu Fujin's behalf!"
The maid kowtowed.
"Ms. Xu can't restrain her servant properly, so she will be punished by kneeling for two hours. Please think about it carefully."
Yunxi's voice was gentle, but the words she spoke were tiring and cruel to Xu.
Nian Shilan suddenly remembered that in her last life, she relied on favor and punished the Zhen family for being arrogant. Did she have the same abominable face at that time?
