Concubine Shu believed that her patience was not bottomless, and she must have principles. Seeing that Zhou Xiaoyuan did not repent and brought the food box to her, Concubine Shu was naturally a little unhappy.

Zhou Xiaoyuan was still a little confused, but Concubine Shu was already busy lecturing herself, and said with a cold face: "Xiaoyuan, you are the royal wife after all."

"Even if you were used to supporting yourself in the past, when you get here, no one will think that you are approachable if you do it yourself - the palace does not need to be approachable, your manners and rules must be upheld, otherwise wouldn't it be spread out? Ridiculous?"

Concubine Shu tried her best not to speak too harshly, but Zhou Xiaoyuan heard clearly that she was accusing her of bringing the bad habits of ordinary people into the palace and asking her to change them.

But as a result, Zhou Xiaoyuan felt even more aggrieved. She thought she would be punished before, but she was mentally prepared, but she didn't.

Now that she was fine, she was prepared to be praised, but instead she was scolded.

The gap in her heart was so great that Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't bear it.

She curled her lips, hesitating what she wanted to say, but she was afraid of irritating Concubine Shu and dared not say it. Seeing this, Concubine Shu could only sigh, shook her head and said, "Concubine, I'm not blaming you, it's just that Things are fine in my palace, no one can spread the word and no one dares to talk about it."

"But if you go to the palace, there are many eyes around Prince Rong, and the servants in the palace may not be loyal. Most of them are succumbed to Yechen's power. Have you ever thought about what you will do if you go to the palace like this?"

Having said this, Zhou Xiaoyuan could only purse her lips and whispered: "But... I just want to make some food for my mother and concubine to show my kindness...

... "

As she spoke, she showed her grievance and struggled to speak.

"It seems that the mother-in-law doesn't like these foods anymore. I know it and I won't do it again in the future..."

Hearing this, Concubine Shu was stunned and blurted out a question: "Didn't you make it for yourself because of greed? Why did you suddenly think of making food for me? Is someone in the palace treating you lightly?"

After asking three questions in a row, Concubine Shu felt a little embarrassed and coughed before saying, "...I mean, you don't need to do this."

Even though Concubine Shu tried to redeem herself later, Zhou Xiaoyuan also understood the source of the misunderstanding. Her eyes lit up and she quickly defended herself.

"No, I live a good life here. Yesterday I received a reward from my mother-in-law. My aunt also gave me a special mention. Only then did I realize how valuable the reward my mother-in-law gave me was. Although my mother-in-law may I don’t care about returning gifts, but I think there should always be some kind of return in a gift..."

Zhou Xiaoyuan looked solemn, pointed to the food box next to her, and said softly, "But I don't have much to offer. The only thing that has been praised is my cooking skills, so I thought about giving it to my mother and concubine to try."

After saying that, she lowered her head pretending to be uneasy and said tangledly, "But I never expected that my mother and concubine would have such a misunderstanding. It was me who was offended."

Having said this, Concubine Shu also understood.

She coughed twice and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. She could only pick up what she had said before and say: "...Ah, no one in the palace is neglecting you, so of course it's the best. It's just that eating-"

Obviously, Concubine Shu was also in trouble. Due to emotions and reasons, what Zhou Xiaoyuan did was perfectly normal.

On the contrary, I have preconceived ideas and looked at things narrowly.

Stayed.

It would be too much to ask Concubine Shu to take back what she said before, but if you don't take it back, your daughter-in-law's good intentions will be misunderstood by her. Concubine Shu will always feel a little chilled when she thinks about it.

It was a little difficult for her to get down the steps. Zhou Xiaoyuan naturally understood and waited for a while before speaking: "Concubine, are you hungry?"

"After all, I worked so hard to make it for my mother-in-law. How about you try it? If you don't like it, I won't make it next time."

Zhou Xiaoyuan's words were very clever. They not only solved the misunderstanding that Concubine Shu had just had, but also gave Concubine Shu a chance to push the boat forward. The expression on Concubine Shu's face softened a lot, and she nodded approvingly, and said softly: "It's hard for you to have this Now that you have thought about it, sit down and talk about it."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that after standing for such a while, she could finally sit down and have a rest. She originally thought that this confrontation would go as far as it would go.

Fortunately, Concubine Shu is not unreasonable, and is much better than Mrs. Su of the Su Mansion. Zhou Xiaoyuan now has a headache just thinking about her.

Naturally, Concubine Shu was completely unaware of Zhou Xiaoyuan's slander.

She just watched curiously as Zhou Xiaoyuan opened the food box, took out the dishes one by one, and briefly explained a few words. When Concubine Shu asked in surprise what the names of the dishes were, Zhou Xiaoyuan raised her eyebrows a little proudly. .

He said: "Back to my concubine, these dishes are made by women of the people themselves. You'd better try them first. If they taste good, I'll tell you their names. If they don't taste good..."

She stuck out her tongue and said with a rather playful expression, "Then just pretend there is no such dish."

Concubine Shu burst out laughing and actually agreed with her

Bullshit.

After trying each sample, the surprise and appreciation in Concubine Shu's eyes became more and more obvious. After eating them all, she was still a little unfinished. She pointed to the first few dishes and asked Zhou Xiaoyuan: "Can I try it again? "

As soon as these words came out, the nun next to me said with some disapproval, "My queen, I can't eat more than three meals a day."

As soon as she said this, the smile on Concubine Shu's face faded. She glanced at Grandma, but she didn't deny anything. She just looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan again and asked patiently: "Concubine, I think everything you do is good." Delicious, now can you tell me the names you gave them?”

Zhou Xiaoyuan smiled happily, nodded and spoke patiently, but her words clearly emphasized the first few dishes, which were the ones Shu Fei pointed out she liked very much.

In addition to the name, the techniques and ingredients were all explained, as if he was going to be a disciple on the spot.

Concubine Shu listened carefully, how could she not understand what Zhou Xiaoyuan meant? The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and her eyes became more and more happy when she looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan. She nodded and said in appreciation: "It's really a unique craftsmanship that no one else can do." When the dishes are here, Ye Chen has found a treasure."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyuan shook her head in embarrassment and said softly: "It's nothing."

After she finished speaking, she realized that she probably shouldn't stay here, so she said she was going to leave, but at the same time she kept the food box together.

Concubine Shu looked at her smart appearance and narrowed her eyes with a smile. After a while, she suddenly called her, thoughtfully.

"Since you have won my favor, I will reward you again - do you have any wishes that you want to achieve? You might as well tell me in detail."

Hear this

Zhou Xiaoyuan's eyes lit up.

"Is it really possible? Then I won't be polite - I want to leave the palace for a day."
