The reborn prince's little palace maid in the apocalypse

An'er was kneeling in the corridor of the side hall of the dining room. Although kneeling here did not seem as cold as kneeling directly in the courtyard in the cold winter wind and snow, in fact, the wind in the corridor was like that little knife. The scraping caused a piercing pain all over my body.

What's more, An'er, who was lying on the bed just now, was brought here directly. She was now only wearing a single piece of clothing. In just a moment, her whole body was numb with cold.

In addition to being cold, she was also confused. When I was in a daze, I was caught out. First, I was accused of being lazy, and then I was accused of stealing.

An'er didn't know what she had stolen? The group of people who were escorting her just now were in a mess, and they were talking all over the place, as if they had lost something to eat, because she heard those people say that they were greedy and dared to eat anything.

All the clerks and stewards were sitting in the side hall, and no one spoke. A piece of greasy and wrinkled straw paper was placed on the table.

As the saying goes: "If the cook does not steal, the grain will not be harvested." Normally, people working in the kitchen, especially those who cook and cook, take a bite or take back the leftover bits and pieces, or It is normal to just use these leftovers to make food or something.

But this is in the palace, in the dining room of the Prince's East Palace. There are rules for what can be taken, what cannot be taken, and what can be touched at any level.

The beef we just got yesterday took a whole night to prepare. Only one portion was served to His Highness during the morning meal, and the rest was sealed in a jar. It could also be stolen by someone, and it would be too courageous. .

As the head of the meat and fish bureau, Eunuch Qiang is a bit overwhelmed now.

The beef in sauce made last night was supposed to be soaked for a day today to make it taste better. The best time to eat it is during the evening meal.

But for the morning meal this morning, His Highness ordered this beef with soy sauce, and when it was served, he was worried because he was afraid that the taste would be bad and His Highness would blame it.

If other masters eat it, it doesn't matter to the strong father-in-law, he is still confident in his craftsmanship. Even if it doesn't shine, nothing can go wrong.

But when it comes to their man, he is not sure. When cooking for this man, he would like to put in every grain of salt, fearing that he will eat too much or too little. Not coming. Because their Crown Prince has the most sensitive tongue.

I don’t know if His Highness is born like this, or because he has been fed delicacies since he was born. His tongue is very picky and sensitive to eating, and even those famous gourmets cannot compare with it.

I think back then, His Highness was only about five years old. During the Laba Festival of that year, everyone had dinner in the Queen Mother's Palace. His Highness, who was still the eleventh prince at the time, was fed a mouthful of Laba porridge by the then prince. Not only did the little man count all the beans and dried fruits in the bowl, but he even tasted a few stalks of rice mixed in the fragrant rice. out. The Queen Mother was amused at that time, and she said, "The Imperial Grandmother's little Eleven has the most precious tongue in the world."

If there is anything wrong with the sauced meat today, I can't go to His Highness and say: "Your Highness, the meat is not tasty enough. It's not that the slave didn't cook it well, it's because you were too eager to eat it..."

Isn't this courting death?

Fortunately, there was no word from His Highness that he was dissatisfied with the food in the morning. I was still glad that the word was heard today when His Highness was in a good mood.

His Highness confessed two things. The first one was for Eunuch Ping. He asked Eunuch Ping to keep all the sauced beef without dividing it. It will be useful to His Highness.

As for the rest, it won't be divided. Just send the remaining fresh meat to Zhan Shifu's public kitchen.

The second item was passed to him. His Highness said that he liked the stewed beef brisket that won the Queen Mother's reward last night. Today, His Highness went to Ci'en Palace and asked him to follow him and learn how to make the stewed beef brisket.

So as soon as he received the news, Eunuch Qiang followed Eunuch Ping to wait at the gate of the East Palace, preparing to go to Ci'en Palace with His Highness.

In the Ci En Palace.

The Queen Mother was chatting with the nanny next to her when she heard someone coming from outside the door to report that it was the manager of the East Palace Kitchen who wanted to see her.

The Queen Mother was stunned, glanced at Nanny Su who was standing aside, and asked: "What does the cook of the East Palace want from me?"

Aunt Su saluted the Queen Mother, "Shall I go out and have a look?"

The Queen Mother waved her hand, "No, let him come in."

Following the message from the little palace man outside the door, Eunuch Ping bowed and walked in, knelt down in front of the Queen Mother and said: "Slave, Ping Qi, the manager of the East Palace Kitchen, would like to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. She is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

"Get up and say something." The Queen Mother looked at him and thought about it again, making sure that she didn't know this person.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." After Eunuch Ping stood up, he bowed slightly and did not dare to stand up straight.

"The Empress Dowager, this servant is here to thank you for my Highness." Eunuch Ping said, kneeling down again, kowtowing several times, and then continued: "Yesterday, you gave His Highness a bowl of stewed beef brisket. My family Your Highness likes it very much, and I was originally going to come to express my gratitude to you today, but before I even reached the palace gate, I was summoned by His Majesty, and my servant happened to be nearby and asked His Highness for this good job."

"Little Eleven will like it. It seems that yesterday's beef brisket was really well stewed." The Queen Mother said to Aunt Su, "Remember to reward the one who stewed the meat."

"Yes." Nanny Su responded

After listening to the conversation between the Queen Mother and Aunt Su, Eunuch Ping kowtowed upward and continued: "His Royal Highness said that he liked that dish very much and asked his slave to bring someone to learn how to make it. His Highness also said ..." Eunuch Ping paused deliberately.

"Oh, what else did he say?" the Queen Mother responded with a smile.

"His Highness said that if you don't let his people learn from him, he will take away your cook and make meat for him." Eunuch Ping replied with a smile on his face, as if he was imitating the prince's coquettish tone.

In fact, if the younger generation wants to please their elders, they don’t necessarily have to give them something. Sometimes, asking for something from the elders in turn can make the elders feel needed and please them more.

Obviously the Queen Mother liked this very much. As the most noble woman in the world, she was the overall champion of the harem trials during the reign of the late Emperor. Power and wealth no longer interest her. Instead, like an ordinary old man, her children and grandchildren are filial, and what she wants most is to have Cheng Huan at her knees.

When the prince was originally the eleventh prince, he often came to Ci'en Palace and acted coquettishly with the Queen Mother. He is good-looking, has a sweet mouth, and is the youngest son of the royal palace. At that time, Yan Sinian was the Queen Mother's favorite grandson. Later, when Yan Sinian became the crown prince, he probably didn't adapt well in the first few years. He felt like a little old man every day, and he didn't come to the Queen Mother often.

In the past two years, I started to come to Ci'en Palace frequently again. A little grandson who became a prince and still clings to her, just like he was when he was a child, became even more fond of the Queen Mother.
