old queen

Chapter 12

"Yes." A group of kowtowing court ladies dared not disobey, hurriedly got up, several of them huddled together, lowered their eyebrows, and did not dare to look at her.

Is she that scary?Mu Mingchun curled her lips and saw the small boxes in their hands.Well, looking at the workmanship and appearance, they are all very delicate.It looks like it should be a food box. "What are you holding in your hands?" After observing, she asked aloud.

"Hui, Hui empress, these are the breakfast meals for the emperor, the queen mother, the prince and the princess in the imperial dining room, and the servants are about to deliver them." Several people pushed each other, and finally pushed one person out, and answered cautiously her problem.

It seems that she guessed right, Mu Mingchun felt a little proud, and asked again: "In these boxes, which ones are for the prince and princess?"

"Qi, Qi report to the empress, this, this one." The two palace maids who were hiding at the back of the crowd stepped forward with small steps and said tremblingly.

"let me see."

"Yes."

The food box was opened, and the tempting fragrance came to the nostrils, causing the body fluid in the mouth to secrete involuntarily and quickly, and the stomach began to growl.

"Preserved egg and lean meat porridge, rose cake." Mu Mingchun nodded with a glance at the dishes in the food box.Yes, the combination of sweet and salty is perfect, it is a good breakfast.But... "Why no eggs?" The two children are in the vigorous period of growth and development, and they need to be supplemented with rich protein and calcium.Among all foods, only eggs are the most nutritious, which can be described as a must-have for breakfast.However, the imperial dining room was not equipped for them!

"Queen, the crown prince doesn't like egg whites." The maid kneeling on the left whispered.

"So, in order to make him happy, you deliberately didn't give him eggs?" Mu Mingchun chuckled, and shot at them unreservedly with strong force in the cold words. exacerbated.

"This, this is authorized by the emperor, slaves, slaves don't dare to make their own decisions." The maid on the right took a few deep breaths before mustering up the courage to whisper.

Think too.Mu Mingchun nodded, with a cold sneer at the corner of his mouth.Only under the protection and connivance of that guy, the two children can be so blatantly picky eaters, which is really good. "If that's the case, go down!" He waved his hand, and generously let these irrelevant people leave.

"Yes." Hearing these words, the maids hurriedly got up as if they were being pardoned, picked up the food box and ran away as fast as they could.

The person walked away, Qian'er hurried forward and said respectfully: "Madam, it's almost time, let's go back, pack up and have breakfast!" Stop running, being tempted by the food in the food box, her Very hungry!
"No hurry, let's go to the imperial dining room first." Mu Mingchun shook his head, turned and walked to another bluestone path.

Imperial Room?Qian'er hurriedly chased after her: "Ma'am, what are you doing there?"

"Look for the imperial chef." Mu Mingchun said.

"What do you want the royal chef to do?"

"Of course I only look for them when I have something to do!" Mu Mingchun smiled, turned around and patted her on the shoulder, and said in a calm tone, "Don't worry, I'm just going to the imperial dining room to explain some things to the imperial chef."

really?Qian'er looked at her suspiciously.Although she really wanted to believe her words, for some reason, there was a resistance in her heart.

Seeing her swollen eyes, like a cute little frog, Mu Mingchun chuckled and pinched her cheek. "Of course it's true. Otherwise, don't you think I'm in a bad mood and want to burn it to vent my anger?"

Uh... "My Lady..."

If she didn't say that, she hasn't thought about it yet.Now hearing what she said, she really started to worry!Qian'er whispered on her lips, crying secretly in her heart.

Facing the hula-la-kneeling imperial chefs, Mu Mingchun complained about some evil old rules of this evil old society for the nth time in three days.

Taking a long breath, she sat on the clean and non-greasy chair that Qian'er had found through rummaging through untold hardships, her eyes slowly scanned the group of people, and she said in a deep voice, "Which of you is responsible for the crown prince and the prince?" For the princess’ meal, stand up for me.”

Soon, a fat man who was kneeling in the middle of the front row came out and said in a low voice, "Go back to your mother, the servant is."

"I ask you, do you not add eggs to the breakfast of the prince and princess every morning?" Mu Mingchun asked.

"Yes. Because the crown prince doesn't like the fishy smell of egg whites, he refuses to eat it. Since the crown prince refuses to eat it, the princess also refuses to eat it. Therefore, as time goes by, the slave will not add it." The man replied.

"And what about lunch and dinner?"

"For lunch and dinner, people in the prince's and princess' chambers send word to tell the prince and princess what they want to eat, and the servants will do what they want."

"So, it is absolutely impossible to have green peppers and carrots there." Mu Mingchun said coolly.

The man nodded. "yes."

"From now on, you add all these things." Mu Mingchun ordered coldly.

Ga?The man raised his head, looked at her in surprise, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Your Majesty..."

"Don't tell me that you don't know how to do it. You are the imperial chef, how to process these things so that they can't see their original appearance and taste, these methods don't need to be taught by me." Mu Ming Chun was unmoved, and said indifferently.

Of course he can't!It's just..." Your Majesty, this is not the meaning of the servant. The meaning of the servant is that the emperor ordered someone to send a message to the servants to teach the servants not to add those things that make people unappetizing in their meals. Otherwise, once discovered, Severe punishment!" So, to put it bluntly, they are afraid of death.

"Oh?" Mu Mingchun raised his eyebrows, feeling a little displeased, and it was a good thing for that dead face to do it again! "In this way, the emperor's oral order is much more useful than this palace coming to the door in person, isn't it?"

The man was startled, and quickly shook his head like a wave drum, and said loudly in horror: "Nothing! That's not what the slave meant!"

"Since that's the case, then you should do as I tell you." Mu Mingchun took advantage of the trend to bring up the old matter again.

The man shook his head helplessly. "Niang Niang..." Aren't you pushing me into the fire pit?
cut!
In the silence, Mu Mingchun suddenly heard a disdainful low chirping in his ear.If the man's voice hadn't just come to an end, such a small voice would have been directly ignored by her.

Following the sound, Mu Mingchun found that the sound came from the person kneeling at the front of the group.If she remembers correctly, this person should be the head of the imperial dining room.Twitching the corner of his mouth, he kicked that person's knee, and said coldly, "What? Look down on Ben Gong? Do you think what Ben Gong said is nonsense?"

Unexpectedly... She actually heard all the words she said in such a low voice? "I dare not!" The manager took two steps back and whispered nervously.

"Don't dare?" Mu Mingchun sneered, it's no wonder that he didn't dare!She stood up, walked to him and knelt down, picked up a chopstick and raised his chin, forcing him to look into her eyes, she really saw a trace of contempt in his eyes.Although she hid it well, she couldn't hide it from her, an old fritter who had been in the colorful entertainment industry for almost ten years.

Mu Mingchun chuckled, threw the chopsticks aside, stood up and said: "I know that you are very dissatisfied with what I have done. You think that I am just a queen who has fallen out of favor, and I have no right to dictate to you. Now Gong should honestly stay in the cold palace and think about the past, and should not appear in this place, right?"

How did she know?It was as if he knew what was going on in his heart!The steward was terrified, and hurriedly said: "Empress, you have misunderstood, this servant feels that I have never thought about it like this!"

"Really?" Mu Mingchun stared straight into his eyes and asked word by word in a deep voice.

"True...really..." These three words are obviously very simple, as long as he gritted his teeth, he could say them very briskly.But for some reason, once he met her eyes, he felt terrified in his heart, and trembling densely covered his whole body, making him unable to say a single word against his will.

Can't tell?She just knew it!With a sneer in his heart, Mu Mingchun lifted his foot and kicked it: "I hate you guys who only flatter you and don't know how to put people first!"

"Ah!" Needless to say, after being kicked so hard by her, the manager fell straight backwards.Fortunately, there was a thick human wall behind him, which buffered most of the momentum for him.But those who bear his gravity are not so lucky.In short, the end result is a group of people rolling together, screaming again and again.

"My Lady!" I didn't expect her to make such a move out of thin air. Qian'er, who had just relaxed a little, was taken aback, and hurried over to pull her back, feeling like crying, "My Lady, didn't you say that you just came to explain something?" Is something wrong? Why are you talking and talking, and started to move again?"

"I want to have a good talk with them, but as you can see, they don't listen to me at all!" Mu Mingchun said, throwing her off and walked to the group of people who had finally got up, and asked sharply, "How? Listen Don't you listen to what I say?"

"Your Majesty, this slave really can't be the master. If you really want to do this, then you should go to the emperor! As long as the emperor orders, no matter what slaves are added to the meals of the prince and princess!" The dull pain, the manager covered the wound and screamed in pain.

"Then you still don't take Ben Gong seriously?" Mu Mingchun sneered, exhausted her patience, and refused to reason with this group of people. She rolled up her sleeves and exercised her wrists and ankles, "In this case, Ben Gong only Violent measures can be taken!"

"Mother, empress, you... what do you want to do?" Seeing her like this, a bad premonition came to mind, and the boss was terrified, and asked in a trembling voice while stepping back with his eyes wide open.
