cook maid concubine

Chapter 186 Gossip
"Thank you, servant girl is not interested." Qian Hongxian gave him a hard look.

Ji Shuxuan made fun of it, and then met the warning eyes of the other party, and then closed his mouth wisely.

After leaving the palace, Ji Shuxuan was called away by the servants sent by the family, leaving her and Ji Nanjin in the same carriage.

On the way, the two of them were silent all the way, and when they were about to reach the palace, Qian Hongxian said cautiously: "Your Majesty, you don't think that the servants are deliberately approaching the little emperor and the little princess, and want to take the opportunity to take the position?"

Ji Nanjin glanced at her, and then said, "I know you're not."

Qian Hongxian didn't know why, but she was inexplicably relieved to hear him say that, but before she had time to be happy, she heard the other party say again: "The prince's side, from the princess concubine to Liangyuan, is not only a position, but also a position. The exchange conditions used to win over the forces of all parties, if the crown prince wants to ascend the throne smoothly, every position here is very important, and it is impossible to grant it to others casually." Speaking of this, he deliberately paused before continuing: " Unless the crown prince is particularly fond of it, at least it must be the daughter of an official of the fifth rank or above. You are so smart, it is impossible not to know the powerful relationship. Now the position of the crown prince is unstable, and all officials are waiting and watching. Hastily married her daughter into the East Palace. The position of Crown Princess is still vacant, and it is precisely because of this reason."

Dare to talk for a long time, saying that her status is not worthy.She has no right to be delusional.

Although what he said was true, Qian Hongxian felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Back at the palace, Qian Hongxian immediately went to find He Xiaoxiao,

He Xiaoxiao was cleaning the house for her in her room, and she was not surprised to see her at all, as if she knew she would come back today, she smiled and stepped forward to hold her hand and said: "You are back? The prince has recovered from his injury ?"

"You know all about it?" Qian Hongxian was taken aback for a moment. She was taken directly into the palace that day, and she couldn't even go back to the house to explain. These days, she has been worried that He Xiaoxiao will be worried if she doesn't see her.

He Xiaoxiao explained with a smile: "The day you entered the palace, the crown prince came to me and told me about you entering the palace to take care of the crown prince, and told me not to worry."

Qian Hongxian was in a complicated mood for a while, and the prince's injury was considered a half-secret, but he didn't expect that person to come back and tell He Xiaoxiao.Besides, this should be considered a trivial matter for him, right?He actually came here to explain in person, why?
No matter how much she thought about it, Qian Hongxian couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it at last, took He Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "I'm not here, they didn't bully you, did they?"

He Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "No, after you left, I have been following Guanshi Zhang. Guanshi took good care of me and didn't ask me to do anything."

When mentioning Guanshi Zhang, the light red thread remembered that she had entered the palace and hadn't explained anything to the other party, fearing that the other party would also be worried, so she said, "I'll go and see the adoptive father." After saying that, he was about to go out.

He Xiaoxiao hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Manager Zhang is not in the mansion right now."

"Where's the adoptive father?" Qian Hongxian stopped and asked suspiciously.

He Xiaoxiao explained: "Guan Zhang told the prince for leave, saying that he was going back to his hometown to pay homage to his family. He left the mansion early this morning."

Thinking of Zhang Guanshi's lonely figure, Qian Hongxian felt a twinge of distress in his heart.It would be great if she could come back sooner, and she could go back to the hometown with the other party to have a look.Now that everyone is gone, she can only think about it.

"By the way, where's Yuyan?" Qian Hongxian noticed that she had been in the house for so long, and there was no movement in the room next door.It stands to reason that both Lin Yuyan and He Xiaoxiao are on her side. Since Xiaoxiao is with Manager Zhang, Lin Yuyan should also be with her. Since Manager Zhang is not around, she and Xiaoxiao should have nothing to do.

"She..." Mentioning the other party, He Xiaoxiao couldn't help flashing a trace of hesitation on his face.

"What's wrong with her?" Seeing her, Qian Hongxian couldn't help feeling puzzled.

He Xiaoxiao faltered for a long time before saying: "She was slightly injured and was taken to Jinyuan by the prince."

A cook was injured, but was taken back to the main courtyard by the eldest son to recuperate. There are many stories in between.Coupled with He Xiaoxiao's hesitant and hesitant look, it made her believe that something else must have happened in the middle.

Qian Hongxian thought of Lin Yuyan's purpose in coming to Beijing, and then thought of her being taken to Jinyuan by Ji Nanjin. For some reason, she felt stuffy and inexplicably uncomfortable.

But in front of He Xiaoxiao, he didn't say anything.

After all, this is someone else's business. Whether she is on Lin Yuyan's side or Ji Nanjin's side, she has no reason or position to say anything.

He Xiaoxiao saw that her complexion was not very good, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong with you?"

Qian Hongxian immediately cleared up her emotions, smiled at her and said, "I'm fine, by the way, didn't you say that the adoptive father is gone? Who is in charge of the son's meals now?"

He Xiaoxiao shook his head and said: "I don't know, the prince didn't say anything, but didn't the prince say before you entered the palace that you would be responsible for his meals? Moreover, you now recognize Guanshi Zhang as a foster father, and Guanshi Zhang is not here. , you should also be in charge, right?"

"In this case, let's go to the kitchen to have a look." Qian Hongxian took out the things he brought out from the palace, and was about to put them away, but He Xiaoxiao noticed them sharply: "What is this? It's so beautiful box."

Qian Hongxian opened the box in front of her with a smile and said, "It's a reward from the prince." Ever since He Xiaoxiao decided to follow her to Beijing, she never regarded him as an outsider.

"Wow, have you made a fortune?" When He Xiaoxiao saw the big, round, smooth and bright pearls inside the box, He Xiaoxiao's eyes were straightened, and she was so excited that she almost jumped up on the spot when she took her hand.

Qian Hongxian immediately covered her mouth and said, "Keep your voice down, do you know that money is not in vain?"

He Xiaoxiao blinked, then nodded in response, Qian Hongxian let go of her and said, "Don't worry, when I open a restaurant, I won't forget to invite you to be my chef. Well, monthly money How about twice the size of Juxuan Tower?"

He Xiaoxiao bent the corners of her eyes, and immediately nodded with a smile.

Qian Hongxian always knew that girl didn't have any big ideas, but this girl was too easily satisfied.

Qian Hongxian smiled, and the two of them began to think where it would be more appropriate to keep such a valuable thing, but after much deliberation, they felt that it was not safe to put it anywhere, so they simply put it in the medicine box, so that they would not have to worry about being caught by others. Find.

After leaving the room, Qian Hongxian and He Xiaoxiao went to the East Kitchen.

I haven't seen her for a few days, and everyone has weird eyes when they see her.

He probably also knew that she and Ji Nanjin went out of the mansion together and Zhang Guanshi accepted her as a foster daughter. They were discussing behind her back how clever she was, but few people dared to embarrass her in front of her.

I have long been used to these money red lines.Anyway, from the first day when she entered the mansion, everyone's eyes on her have never been normal. As long as she doesn't get in the way behind her, she can just turn a blind eye and close one eye, just pretend that these people don't exist.

Seeing her coming in, Li Guanshi glanced at her, and said to the cook beside him in a strange way: "Some people are so self-respecting, the girl's family actually ran out with men to fool around, and didn't show up for days and nights, really. I really don't even want face."

This is clearly talking about Qian Hongxian.After all, many people saw that she and Ji Nanjin went out of the mansion together, and it was also true that she was not in the mansion these days.

There have been many rumors about her relationship with Ji Nanjin in the mansion.In addition, since the crown prince was involved, Ji Nanjin did not explain her departure to the outside world, and the mansion had long discussed the relationship between her and Ji Nanjin.Now that they are back together with Ji Nanjin, everyone is even more certain of what is going on between her and Ji Nanjin.Li Guanshi's words are not her own thoughts, I am afraid that many people in the mansion think so now, but only the other party dares to say it in person!

He Xiaoxiao wanted to rush forward to argue with the other party, but was held back by Qian Hongxian and said, "Forget it, it's not worth fussing with this kind of person."

He Xiaoxiao couldn't be more stingy, he stared in Li Guanshi's direction and said, "But they said that about you."

Qian Hongxian hooked her lips with a smile, turned around and said calmly: "The dog bit you, so why don't you bite it back?"

He Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, forgetting to respond.

Li Guanshi's face turned livid on the spot, and he clenched his fists fiercely. Facing her back, his expression was ferocious, but he couldn't say a word.If she went to quarrel with the other party at this time, wouldn't she admit that she is a dog in disguise?
Damn girl, I don't believe that she can be so arrogant forever, sooner or later she will find a chance to deal with her.

These days, because Qian Hongxian is not around, she took over the old lady's meals in full, and she cooked exactly the same dishes as those listed on the girl's menu every day, but the old lady frowned every time she saw it. After two mouthfuls, they were immediately evacuated.What's the difference between that and hitting her in the face?
Although the old lady didn't say anything clearly, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the old lady was dissatisfied with her cooking.I think what she did was not as good as that girl.

At any rate, she had also been in charge of the palace for several years, and she was actually compared to this by a new yellow-haired girl. It's no wonder that she disliked Qian Hongxian.

Back in the small kitchen, as soon as the door was closed, He Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Haha, you are so powerful, Hongxian, and you don't get dirty when you swear. I just saw it today. Did you see the expression on Li Guanshi's face just now?" It’s so exciting, it’s red and then green, and then blue and purple, haha, I see her head is almost smoking with anger, it’s really satisfying.”

Qian Hongxian turned around and tapped the other party's forehead and said, "Okay, don't be too happy, we have to go to the other party to get today's ingredients, what if she is really anxious and doesn't give it to us? ?”

"She didn't dare!" He Xiaoxiao raised her brows, and analyzed in a dignified way: "We are cooking for the son, and she doesn't give us the ingredients, so we can't make anything. When the time comes, the son will blame us. I don't want her to take care of it, I guess she won't be so stupid." It seems that she has learned a lot during the period of entering the mansion.

Li Guanshi was naturally not that stupid, but just because he clearly didn't dare to make things difficult for them, it didn't mean that the other party couldn't play tricks secretly.

Sure enough, when Qian Hongxian and He Xiaoxiao saw the ingredients sent by Manager Li, their expressions sank in unison.

He Xiaoxiao rolled up her sleeves, and said with righteous indignation: "It's too much, I'll go to her to argue."

Qian Hongxian stopped her calmly, frowned at the ingredients and said, "It's useless, since she dares to send someone to deliver it, she is not afraid of us going to trouble her. If things get serious, it may not be good for us."

"But what to do with these?" He Xiaoxiao stared at the ingredients, her palm-sized face wrinkled tightly.

After all, they have been with Ji Nanjin for a while, and they know a little about each other's preferences. In addition, knowing that they are going to cook for Ji Nanjin, Manager Zhang specially told them a lot in private, so when the two of them saw the ingredients at first glance, , and found that more than half of these things given by the other party were ingredients that Ji Nanjin didn't like to eat.

What the other party did was clearly digging a big hole and waiting for them to jump into it.
