The little palace maid from Shuangxue Palace ran back crying with her lunch box in her hand, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, they, they bully people too much!"

"What's wrong?" Cai Qingqing asked, she was starving to death.

"The servant girl went to the imperial dining room to pass the meal to the empress, but the imperial dining room actually said that there was no food and only these were left! The empress is a daughter of gold, why only eat cold food! They are too bullying!" The little palace maid snotted and burst into tears. Knelt down and said.

When the food was taken out, it was not only some radishes and vegetables, but also a little bit of heat.Lian Bing was also a little angry, "It's too much for them, ma'am, I'll find someone to let them do it for you again!"

"Forget it, don't worry, the tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs. Those who have no power in this palace and are not loved by the emperor, they will not be very dedicated." Cai Qingqing said lightly, picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of paper. Chopsticks and green vegetables are eaten in the mouth, the taste of the imperial dining room is really good, but the dishes are cold, and there is not much meat.

"Your Majesty is really too much, Your Majesty is so conscientious, the Emperor directly surrendered to your Majesty, without thinking about the good old days at all!" Lian Bing was indignant.

That's right, if this white-eyed wolf emperor still remembers her, can he still be called a white-eyed wolf? "Lian Bing, there are some things that can be said in Shuangxue Palace with the door closed, but you can't talk like that outside, misfortune comes from your mouth, I just pretend that I didn't hear anything just now! So, you go write a post and send it to Qingning Palace , just say that the chrysanthemums in Shuangxue Palace are in bloom, and tomorrow noon will invite the imperial concubine to come to Shuangxue Palace to enjoy the chrysanthemums. As for the imperial dining room, there is no need to inform, and you can bring whatever dishes you want tomorrow." Cai Qingqing picked up another chopstick Eating the greens, she can take the opportunity tomorrow to try whether the imperial concubine is a troubled person or a magnanimous person.

"Yes, empress." Lian Bing took the order.

Cai Qingqing took a nap in the afternoon, then asked Lian Bing to find a pen and paper, and prepared to make a list to consider how to complete the task.

People in the harem get rid of the eunuchs, and the maids, concubines, and female officials cost tens of thousands. Even if Princess Yueyi is hiding in the harem, she must have a high status, otherwise she won't be able to find out any news, but her status must not be very high, otherwise she will easily attract people's attention. So palace ladies can be excluded. As for the harem concubines, in the current harem, there is one imperial concubine, four concubines, two Xiuyi, three Jieyu, five concubines, ten nobles, 27 beauties, a total of 52 people, the emperor This year there are 52 and [-], and after two years of enthronement, there will be [-] women!Cai Qingqing gritted her teeth angrily, it's okay to tease so many women, and she's not afraid of kidney failure!How would she find that Princess Yueyi!

If you want to investigate one by one, you must find the roster of the concubines in the harem. If she is still a queen, it is easy to have the roster in your own hands, but now the roster is with the imperial concubine, how can the imperial concubine give her the roster?Cai Qingqing was a little depressed, this is really a problem!

The next day, Cai Qingqing stayed behind as usual to help the imperial concubine take care of the harem account books. Another morning passed. The imperial concubine put down the account book and said to Cai Qingqing with a smile, "Let's go."

These ledgers are huge!As soon as Cai Qingqing pulled away from the account book, she heard the imperial concubine say "Let's go", and couldn't help saying "Ah", where are you going?

Zhao Ning looked at Cai Qingqing's squinted eyes when he was looking at the account book, and suddenly stared at him in surprise. He was really cute and couldn't help laughing, "Didn't Concubine Chu ask for a post yesterday, and invited me to Concubine Chu Shuangxue?" Enjoy the chrysanthemum in the palace."

Only then did Cai Qingqing remember this, and she forgot about it for a while, smiled awkwardly, and stood up quickly.

The imperial concubine asked Cai Qingqing to wait a while, went back to the palace and changed into lighter clothes, and after thinking about it, she proposed to walk there with Cai Qingqing.

Shuangxue Temple is not close to Qingning Palace, and it takes half an hour to walk there!Cai Qingqing rolled her eyes inwardly, "That's fine, you should move around after sitting for a long time, it's still your empress who is considerate."

It is autumn now, the leaves are fluttering and falling, only the chrysanthemums are blooming vigorously.The neither cold nor hot weather was very comfortable. Cai Qingqing and Zhao Ning walked slowly together. If they weren't hungry, Cai Qingqing would have thought they were here for an outing.

Pretending to comment on chrysanthemums with Zhao Ning for a long time, Cai Qingqing hurriedly asked Lianbing to prepare lunch.Zhao Ning also sat drinking tea and waiting for food.After a while, the maid and eunuch brought back the lunch.

Sitting at the table, Zhao Ning frowned as he looked at the meal in front of him, which consisted only of radishes and vegetables without a trace of heat. "Concubine Chu doesn't like meat?" Could it be that this person is so cold that he is always eating vegetarian food?And don't like to eat hot food?Her eyes were on Cai Qingqing's body, and she was indeed very thin.

"What's going on?" Cai Qingqing pretended to be very angry and asked the maid who was preparing the meal.

The palace maid immediately knelt down, "Go back to the empress, the slaves go to the imperial dining room, and the people in the imperial dining room give these to the servants, saying that these are the meals of Shuangxue Palace. The other servants don't know."

Zhao Ning looked at the court lady kneeling on the ground, and then at Cai Qingqing who was pretending to be angry sitting next to her, and felt a little funny in her heart. Why did this person invite her here?

"Come here, ask the steward of the imperial dining room to come to see me!" Zhao Ning told his eldest maid Yinyue, Yinyue nodded and said yes and went out. Within a quarter of an hour, the steward of the imperial dining room knelt down in front of her.

"Steward, has the Imperial Dining Room paid a lot of money every year to buy radish, vegetables and tofu?" Zhao Ning asked coldly.

The steward of the imperial dining room was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, sweating profusely, "Go back to your mother, not at all."

"No? That's why the emperor asked you to skip meals in Shuangxue Palace?" Zhao Ning's voice became cold again.

"No... no."

"Then what do you see on the table? Why didn't I know that the Shuangxue Temple was going to have a group meal?"

The steward knelt on the ground and trembled even more, "Going back to the imperial concubine, it's... those subordinates who are slaves probably took the wrong ones, and the slaves will give them a thorough lesson when they go back!"

"Okay, there will be no next time. If I see that the imperial dining room skipped the meals in Shuangxue Hall next time, you can raise your head and see me!" Zhao Ning looked at the steward lying on the ground trembling, "Hurry up and give it to me. Remove it and replace it!"

"Yes!" The court lady and eunuch quickly removed the cold food from the table.Cai Qingqing and Zhao Ning waited for about half an hour before the meal was ready to be served.

Chicken, duck, fish, everything, Cai Qingqing's eyes lit up looking at these dishes.

Zhao Ning looked at Cai Qingqing's eyes shining when he saw the dishes, and shook his head helplessly, as if he had never eaten these dishes.

When dining in front of a concubine with a higher grade than yourself, the concubine with a higher grade can move the chopsticks first. When the concubine with a higher grade puts down the chopsticks, everyone on the table has to put down the chopsticks.Cai Qingqing knew this rule, so she looked at the food on the table, then at the imperial concubine, then at the food, and then at the imperial concubine.

Zhao Ning looked at himself with Cai Qingqing's bright and expectant eyes, and couldn't laugh or cry, and instantly felt that the cold and clear Concubine Chu in front of her was still a child.Shaking his head slightly, Zhao Ning picked up the chopsticks and took a sip of the dish.Immediately afterwards, Cai Qingqing quickly picked up the chopsticks and began to "crazily" stuff food.

Mmm~ delicious!Well, this one is delicious too!That is delicious too!All so delicious!

This is, how long have you been hungry?Zhao Ning looked at Cai Qingqing's cheeks bulging and full of food, and when he ate delicious food, his eyes narrowed in satisfaction, looking like a hamster, and he felt very cute. "Eat slowly, don't worry, don't choke." Zhao Ning couldn't help but said.Suddenly seeing Cai Qingqing's shiny little mouth, the lips are rosy and gleaming, and it feels full and very seductive.

The emperor doesn't like such a cute person, are you blind?Zhao Ning suddenly thought so.
