famous concubine

Chapter 844 Breaking into Her Door (2)
"The people heard that the eldest son and the eldest concubine of Prince An's Mansion were eating with the people at the gate; more and more people came here for a while; when there were more people, there was naturally more food to eat; the kitchen prepared in the morning The breakfast was quickly eaten up; the people who heard the news later felt sorry for losing the opportunity to eat with the prince; some people clamored outside to get more food..."

"The concubine Shizi said that in order to reflect the frugal ethos of our Prince An's Mansion, and to let the people understand the compassionate heart of our Prince An's Mansion, she decided to ask the kitchen staff to re-cook the food and distribute it to the people outside. She and the crown prince have been staying there with the people."

"The common people are now praising the two of them outside, but some people secretly criticize you, Concubine Hu, for wasting food..."

Hu Qiurong snorted coldly, smiled viciously, and squeezed out the hateful words from between her teeth, "How did these words come from?"

"Slave... I heard that, I don't know who made a slip of the tongue; you said that you asked the kitchen to prepare these foods, but in fact they were only for the prince and the concubine, and he was full of fish and meat, which was extremely rich..."

Nanny Zhang's voice gradually lowered again.

Hu Qiurong's complexion is not much better than Tan's now.

"Well, they are good people who are frugal and close to the people; I am the villain who is extravagant and wasteful and only cares about his own enjoyment!"

"Hmph, they like to lose face, so let them throw it outside." Hu Qiurong laughed angrily, "Also, prepare the same meal for them even for lunch, and also, after the meal is ready, send it to the gate out; I'd like to see how far they can be ashamed."

Isn't it to show that Prince An's Mansion is thrifty?
Then Lao Shizi and his wife will perform well outside!

Seeing that Concubine Hu was angry, Mammy Zhang didn't dare to persuade her, so she had to obey Concubine Hu's angry orders.

Of course Hu Qiurong didn't know, her move played right into Dongfang Yu's arms.

Next, lunch was also an extremely simple and bland meal, so Dongfangyu and Mobai really stayed outside to have fun with the people.

The rest felt ashamed and refused to even take a step closer to the door.

After lunch, Dongfang Yu and Mo Bai returned to Liuguang Pavilion to rest.

However, after a long time of publicity by the common people, this matter has spread throughout the entire imperial capital.

That day, Hu Qiurong was so angry that she couldn't even eat, and at night, she didn't have the heart to take a few bites and fell asleep.

The next day, the kitchen didn't get Hu Qiurong's order to improve the food in Liuguang Pavilion; it still prepared breakfast for Dongfang Yu and others according to the standard of the past few days.

The white porridge, which was so thin that it was almost visible, Dongfangyu didn't let someone deliver it to her table; since Hu Qiurong is still going on, she should go on with it; anyway, this matter hasn't achieved the sensational effect she wanted.

Early in the morning, Dongfangyu asked people to open the door, and moved the table outside the palace; as usual, she used the name of Hu Qiurong to invite the other masters to eat outside with her; however, everyone said that they were not feeling well. , resolutely refused to go outside and lose face with her.

In the early morning of this day, there was no need for her to call out, some people spontaneously came to ask for a share of the food.

Dongfangyu was not stingy, anyway, she specially asked Qing He to prepare some additional food; in order to attract more people to eat in front of Prince An's Mansion.

In order to expand the influence, it is best to shock someone in the palace.

Then Hu Qiurong will definitely regret using such a clumsy method against her in the future.

After two days of enthusiastic publicity by the common people, it has been widely circulated in the imperial capital that the side concubine of Prince An's mansion withheld the meals of the prince and his wife.

This quietly circulated news quickly spread to the deep palace.

Dongfangyu knew that the queen would never pay attention to this matter; because the queen has always had no holy plate with Prince An's mansion; the interests are at stake, and the queen wished that a few more embarrassing things would happen to Prince An's mansion.

Furthermore, at this moment, the empress's face must have been festered to the point where she suffered day and night; it was too late for her to ask God for a cure; how could she have the time to take care of such things.

Dongfangyu was waiting for another person in the deep palace.

While Hu Qiurong was still hiding in the dark and laughing at Dongfangyu; the sensational story of Dongfangyu sharing frugal food with the common people in the past two days has quietly spread to the palace.

On the third day, Luoxia Palace.

"Aunt Shen, you go out of the palace to the Prince An's Mansion, and ask that girl what she wants to do? Let the people understand the frugal life in the Prince An's Mansion?" The Queen Mother lowered her eyes, but the sharpness in her eyes did not diminish, and she was not old. Without compromising her shrewdness.

The Queen Mother let out a cold snort, and murmured: "Although Aijia is old, he is still so old that he is blind."

Just hearing about this incident, she suspected Dongfangyu's intentions; it was not the self-righteous Concubine Hu of Prince An's Mansion.

Aunt Shen has also dealt with oriental languages ​​on weekdays; she was not sure how to guess the tricky and weird aspects of oriental languages, so this time, when the queen mother ordered her to leave the palace, she respectfully responded and led the order to go out to Prince An's mansion.

When Aunt Shen went to Prince An's Mansion, she didn't disturb other people. According to the Queen Mother's order, she just quietly asked Dongfang Yu.

Dongfangyu heard her visit; at that time, her brows and eyes were crooked, her smile was slightly hidden, and there was an intriguing and expected expression.

Two hours later, Aunt Shen was retained by Dongfang Yu, and enjoyed the "lunch" arranged by Hu Qiurong at Liuguang Pavilion, then said goodbye to Dongfang Yu, and went back to the deep palace to tell the truth to the Queen Mother.

When Aunt Shen returned to the palace, the Empress Dowager was still taking a nap; the Empress Dowager woke up and saw her standing beside her, and immediately asked, "What did she say?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the concubine Shizi thinks that Concubine Hu thinks that the royal residence is too expensive, so she intends to subsidize part of her dowry; therefore, the meals given to Liuguang Pavilion by the servants every day are very...very plain; the servant girl today The imperial concubine stayed behind and returned to the palace after lunch, and the servants looked at the food as compared to the vegetarian food in Lingfo Temple, which is three points higher than the elements."

As the Queen Mother's confidant, Aunt Shen naturally knew where to start to impress the Queen Mother.

"The prince didn't show disgust when he ate it, but he ate very slowly and didn't eat much; even the servants and servants felt that the food was a bit plain, so it's no wonder the concubine Shizi couldn't get used to it."

"So, is it true that Hu Qiurong was mean to Mo Bai on purpose?" The Empress Dowager lowered her face, with anger flickering in her eyes.

Aunt Shen said: "Before I went to see the concubine, I asked some people quietly, and the information I got was almost the same; it is said that since the son got married, their food has always been like this."

"That girl wants to seize the master's power?"

"Queen Dowager, this servant speculates that the concubine Shizi does not want to take control of Prince An's mansion; this servant sees that she just wants to take care of herself."
