Cen Xijin has been very depressed recently.
Of course she had a way to climb up by stepping on people, but no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't think of a way to get people out of the East Palace.
According to common sense, there are only two ways to transfer out of the East Palace.
Either he was asked to leave by another master, or he made a mistake and was kicked out.
The former is too unlikely. After all, it was the queen who asked her to be transferred to the East Palace. Who in the harem could go beyond the queen? Even if someone has this weight, there is no need to offend someone just because of a kitchen girl.
The latter is easier. However, the palace rules are strict, and you must be punished if you make a mistake. The punishment in the palace is not light. Maybe she will be beaten to death before she leaves the East Palace. The life of a palace maid is not worth much. The price of doing this is really high.
Then...then she can only put it aside for now. Cen Xijin sighed, and when the opportunity comes, she will go out immediately. Who wants to stay in the East Palace as a burial gift for others!
She wasn't familiar with that person.
time flies.
When Xiao Luzi came out of the palace again and brought back several boxes of moon cakes to Cen Xijin, she suddenly realized that it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It turns out that it has been so long since she came here.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also celebrated in the palace, but only the masters in the palace can celebrate the festival.
Most palace maids like Cen Xijin and eunuchs like Xiao Luzi only serve people during festivals. If the service is good, the master will reward you with endless moon cakes, which is considered a holiday.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and Cen Xijin originally thought that the East Palace would be very busy, but His Majesty gave an instruction to "hold a Mid-Autumn Palace banquet outside the Ziji Hall of Weiyang Palace", and the burden on the shoulders of everyone in the East Palace was lightened.
Even if this is the case, the eldest palace maid Yun Xiang cannot tolerate these little palace maids being lazy and slippery.
There are not many maids who can accompany His Royal Highness to the banquet. The two eldest maids are Yunxiang and Pingnu, and Feng'er and Wang Xiang.
Originally Wang Xiang was not qualified to go, but someone told me that Die'er should have gone.
Cen Xijin also wondered if she had done something secretly, so he asked twice in private. Unfortunately, Wang Xiang didn't know it herself, and she never thought that she would have the opportunity to go to the banquet.
Later, Cen Xijin found out that it was not Wang Xiang who was using tricks, but the queen specifically asked Wang Xiang to go out and show her face in order to make Concubine De look good.
However, even if she used tricks at that time, it would not be a big deal. Cen Xijin would not alienate her because of this. Being able to use tricks can only prove that someone is smart and can play. Moreover, in her view, everyone is born free and equal, everyone has his own way of life, and everyone has his own path to pursue.
Cen Xijin can't be assigned as dignified errands as Wang Xiang, but because of her dignified status as deputy kitchen purchaser, they don't dare to assign her jobs that are too dirty and heavy, so she is only allowed to patrol around and look everywhere. Look, he has become a small field controller.
This time Cen Xijin was really happy and relaxed.
However, she originally wanted to take the opportunity to go out to the East Palace to visit some friends, but she had nothing to offer.
Cen Xijin suddenly felt that she was so poor. She had very little money in total, and the only thing she could get away with in the house was the mooncakes given to her by Xiao Luzi. It would not look good if they were given away.
Anyway, she had nothing to do, so she started thinking about making some snow-skin mooncakes to give away, which was both fresh and timely.
Snowskin mooncakes are not difficult to make.
The ingredients for the mooncake fillings are all ready-made, and the small kitchen of Donggong has always done a good job in stocking them.
She just needs to go to the warehouse to get some more glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour.
As for powdered sugar and powdered sugar, they are readily available in the small kitchen, and the dosage is not large, so Cen Xijin is too lazy to make another trip.
However, she had no way to get milk and molds, especially milk, which was really a rarity at the moment, so she had an idea and simply told Babao the idea.
Babao was very interested in how to make snowskin mooncakes, so he agreed to help her get these two things.
I got these two things, but they also attracted the butterfly.
Die'er looked at them coldly. They seemed to be making mooncakes, but upon closer inspection, they didn't look the same. So she asked directly and carelessly: "Hey, what are you two tinkering with? It's weird."
"A snack made for His Highness. Why, Sister Die'er doesn't allow it?" Babao kept stirring the rice noodles and rice noodles in his hands without even raising his head.
Cen Xijin smiled flatteringly while mixing the glutinous rice noodles: "Sister, don't just stand outside, it's so cold, come in and sit down." She guessed that Die'er wouldn't come in either, the kitchen was a dirty place, and the second-class maids But few were willing to enter, and even Wang Xiang just waited for her outside the door.
However, the reality was not what she expected. Die'er held up the hem of her skirt and stepped into the threshold of the small kitchen. She sneered and said, "You all are so good at pretending to be clever!"
"Okay, okay, aren't you just afraid that we will steal your reward? You can go and give it to His Highness later." Babao has always been a cool and down-to-earth person who works hard. I just find it boring--of course, the premise is that I and my sister can't be harmed.
Die'er coughed a few times and felt relieved. She could still trust Babao as a person, but——
Her eyes moved to Cen Xijin.
This girl has always been lazy, greedy, scheming, and full of tricks. Moreover, she seems to be very close to Xiang Yu.
As a result, it becomes untrustworthy. If the ghost girl has any evil intentions, she may put something into the snacks. I can't say arsenic/frost/poison/medicine, but if it's mud on the soles of shoes, snot balls, etc., it will be enough for her to be unlucky.
Die'er put her hands on her hips in an imposing manner, pointed her slender fingertips squarely at Cen Xijin, and then gave orders like this: "You, when it's ready, come with me and send it up later!" Don’t say I took the credit from you.”
"Ah, this..." Cen Xijin really didn't know how to answer, so he looked at Babao for help.
Unexpectedly, she shook her head slightly and turned her face to the other side.
What a precious girl who has nothing to do with herself! Well, she has no obligation to help her, let alone offend a second-class palace maid for her, right?
In this way, Cen Xijin had no choice but to agree, but his heart was still filled with resentment, and his lungs almost became round and bulging balloons.
Wait a minute - Die'er said, send it up? Could it be... that it was sent to the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet?
In other words, she is about to meet the most legendary people in the Dali Dynasty? !
Emperor Dali, the four heroes of the Gu family, Sun Guifei who was from a humble background but favored the Sixth Palace, Concubine Xia De who took the eldest princess there, Concubine Wanqi Xian from the foreign land of Xizhen... and the legendary Three Palaces and Sixth Palace hospital! !
Cen Xijin couldn't sit still for a moment.
