After a busy morning, Master Mu finally had breakfast. After steaming the tofu and radish, it became even more delicious.
In fact, carving is just a kind of ritual. Take a piece of tofu, pour it with soup, and mix it with shredded radish. The taste is almost the same.
Mulo did so and distributed the things to the palace maids and eunuchs who were watching eagerly.
She seemed to be relatively approachable to everyone.
To be honest, Ying'er was still thinking at first whether this princess from the imperial city would be difficult to serve, but now it seems that she may even have no need for a cook.
"Master, you can cook so many things..." Ying'er stood and ate while saying: "Master, after finishing eating, just pack up and go to see the queen. I heard that she has been neglecting food and tea recently. He doesn’t look good either.”
"You don't look good? Are you going to talk about it?" Mu Luo became interested and looked at Ying'er.
Ying'er recalled for a moment and said: "I don't know anything about the queen. I only vaguely heard from the maid next to the queen that her face has turned pale recently, as if... irregular menstruation..."
"This is simple." Mulo clapped his hands, put the last piece of hair into his mouth, and said: "The queen is not getting well, probably because of poor blood. She needs to boil a bowl of red dates and longan soup and drink it while it is hot... ...By the way, I remember He Chaosheng said last night that he wanted to see the Queen Mother, right?"
Ying'er nodded: "Yes, it's getting late now. You can cook the porridge now and send it over later."
"How can that be done? You can rest assured if you cook it with your own hands." Mu Luo smiled and asked again: "If there is anything uncomfortable about the Queen Mother, please tell me."
Seeing that she couldn't stop it, Ying'er said truthfully: "The Queen Mother has been suffering from chest tightness and internal heat recently and can't eat..."
"Although it's best to boil some dandelions when you get angry, it's very bitter. I'm afraid the Queen Mother won't drink it, so just boil a jar of rock sugar and snow pears. Let it cool and drink it." Mulo returned to the kitchen again. , holding the spoon, thinking: "Add some honeysuckle chips into it, the effect will be better."
Ying'er helplessly stood aside and said, "My master looked like a cook before, but now he looks like a doctor... I wonder if my master has any other special skills that we have never heard of."
"Meals are things that are taken into the human body. If eaten well, they can complement each other with medicines. The principle is the same~"
Mulo continued to cook these two pots of food for another two hours, so that when she arrived at the Queen's Palace, it was already afternoon.
She happily walked in holding red dates and longan soup, and after passing two high thresholds, she saw the legendary queen.
The queen was lying on her side on the imperial concubine's chair, looking graceful and luxurious. He Chaosheng was the new king, and he was not very old. The queen was a little younger than He Chaosheng. The maid next to her was fanning herself, wondering how hot it would get in this late autumn season.
Ying'er followed into the palace, knelt down and tugged at the hem of Mulo's clothes: "Master, kneel down..."
"Oh...oh!" Mulo knelt down in a hurry, not knowing what to say.
After all, she went from princess to concubine overnight, and no one told her there were any rules.
The queen frowned and said: "After all, she is a princess in the imperial city. She looks down on us people from the Western Regions. She kneels down on her knees and is not even willing to say a nice word. What's the matter? Is it wrong for you to be the king's woman?"
"Ah? No... I'm not wronged." Mulo said awkwardly, pushing the food box in front of him: "Um... Her Royal Highness the Queen... or the empress? I brought you something delicious, red dates and longan soup. Delicious and nourishing..."
"Bold!" The maid next to the queen was fanning herself and yelled loudly: "Things dedicated to the queen must be held with both hands, how can they be placed on the ground! You are obviously arrogant and arrogant in vain!"
"I...I don't have it. I just think it's convenient to put it like this. This thing is very heavy. If I lift it, I can't lift it..." Mulo muttered.
Ying'er broke into a cold sweat as she listened. She hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the food box, and said, "Queen, please forgive me. Concubine Chen entered the palace on her first day and did not understand the rules. I will present this to her." Go... I hope the Queen will be magnanimous."
The queen took a deep breath, raised her eyes slightly, and said, "There are no rules, and a servant dares to do things on behalf of the master."
"Ah?" Mu Luo was even more confused: "But queen, didn't your servant speak for you just now? I think Ying'er did a good job. I really don't understand the rules. If the queen has no intention of being embarrassed, it is naturally Ying'er. It’s better to do it.”
The queen opened her eyes, stood up as if suppressing her anger, and walked step by step in the direction of Mulo.
While walking, he said: "You like to quibble a lot, don't you? I made you Concubine Chen after you were brought back from the imperial city. It must have made you feel superior to others, so you don't take me seriously."
Mulo frowned, becoming more and more confused about the rules of the Western Region. She looked up at the queen and said, "Why does the queen have to speculate like this? Isn't it strange to speculate on other people's thoughts based on her own character?"
This is the same principle as "You are not a fish, you know the joy of fish." Why is this queen so unreasonable even though she seems to have read a lot of poems and books.
"Oh, are you saying that I judge a gentleman with a villain's heart?" The queen picked up the food box and sneered: "I never eat red dates, so what are your intentions in sending these things!"
After saying that, she threw the food box at Mulo's body, and the hot red dates and longan soup fell on Mulo's thin clothes. Mulo suddenly screamed from the heat and stepped back to take off his own clothes.
This porridge is the hardest to cool down. When I peeled it off, a large area of my body was already reddened. It was probably about to get blisters...
"Master..." Ying'er took off her clothes and wiped the porridge on Mu Luo's chest.
Mulo didn't know what he had done wrong. The dense red dates and longan soup still had a sweet aroma...
Mulo stared at the porridge scattered on the floor blankly for a while, then sighed with pity and said: "Queen, if you don't like it, just tell me directly, why bother overturning a bowl of porridge? My little eunuch in the palace I was greedy for a long time, but I didn’t even give him a bite.”
Ying'er looked at Mu Luo with some surprise. If it had been any other concubine, she would have been lying on the ground and rolling around. It would be better to go to the king. How come Mu Luo...
Mulo stood up with an indifferent expression and patted the dust on his body: "The queen doesn't like my porridge, and she probably doesn't like me either, so I'll... take my leave first."
Mulo was about to exit, but was stopped by the eunuch at the door.
"How can I let my sister walk out like this? If you leave like this, there will be a lot of gossip in the palace." The queen smiled lightly.
Ying'er always had an ominous premonition and hurriedly protected Mulo behind her: "Queen, if our master does something wrong, just punish the slave. If the master has any shortcomings, it is not easy for the slave to explain to the king. Ah! Please, queen, please spare the master!"
The queen returned to the imperial concubine chair and sat down: "Hu Meizi, don't think that being born in the imperial city is a big deal! If I don't teach you a lesson today, you will be riding on me in the future!"
