Chapter 748 Dim Sum
Shang Ruyi was also shocked when he heard the news.
But she reacted quickly and stood up immediately. She asked Tu Sheer to serve her and wash herself briefly. After getting dressed, she walked to the outer hall. Chang Wan had already led the people in. It was Pan Qing, the eldest maid next to Chu Ruoyan.
Shang Ruyi sat in front of her, watching Panqing slowly walk in with a box in her hand, and then looked behind her.
There is no one else but her.
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but frown slightly, but he didn't say much. He saw Pan Qing walking forward and bowing to her respectfully: "My slave, I pay my respects to the princess."
Shang Ruyi said: " No courtesy.”
Pan Qing slowly stood up. , said: "My father-in-law, my wife, was very happy when I heard that the princess was happy. She specially asked her slave to bring some delicious snacks to the princess. I hope that the princess will take good care of her health and give birth to Lin'er as soon as possible."
Finished. , handed the food box in his hand to Chang Wan standing aside.
Chang Wan came over holding the box and put it on the table in front of Shang Ruyi. Shang Ruyi lowered his head and saw that it was an exquisite red lacquered and carved food box. The lid was covered with a large hollow carved bamboo, a bamboo forest. There seemed to be two figures in the room. Shang Ruyi looked at the picture with something... It looked familiar, but she couldn't just stare at the box at this time, so she reached out and opened the lid again. She saw four pieces of bright red hawthorn cake stacked in the box, with a layer of finely ground sugar sprinkled on top. Powder, once the box was opened, the wind blew up the powdered sugar mist.
At first glance, it looks like bright red flowers covered with white snow, bright and moving.
However, when I looked carefully, I found that although these snacks were bright and pleasing in color, they were not as delicate and neat as the snacks sent by Shangshi Bureau before.
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but said: "This is -"
Pan Qing said: "Everything in here is made by Madam herself."
"Oh? ”
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi immediately raised his head and glanced at her, and Pan Qing nodded solemnly.
Shang Ruyi suddenly understood why Jinyuyuan had to set up a separate small kitchen. It turned out that it was Chu Ruoyan who made the pastries for himself.
She smiled and said: "Go back and tell Shang Ruyi."
As she said that, she was about to close the box, but Panqing stood still and only said to Shang Ruyi: " These are made by the lady herself, and she also asks the princess to taste them. If they are good or not, I can go back and give an explanation."
"..."
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi hesitated in his hand holding the lid.
Speaking of which, Chu Ruoyan specifically ordered Panqing to watch him take a bite before giving up. However, she didn't have much appetite for snacks now. After all, she ate a lot at noon and had just taken a nap, so she wasn't hungry.
So he smiled and said: "The snacks made by Mrs. Chu herself are naturally good."
After saying that, he wanted to close the box.
Seeing this, Panqing asked again: "Does the princess not like the snacks sent by my wife, or does she not like the snacks made by my wife herself?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi's eyebrows frowned slightly.
These days, she has received a lot of pastries and delicacies from people in the palace. Sometimes she opens them and eats them as soon as she gets them, and even invites them to join them. Even if you get up, you still have to say thank you. But whether you eat or not, it's up to the guest to do as he pleases.
However, Pan Qing's words were overt and covert, both soft and hard, forcing him to take a bite at this time. As a palace maid, Panqing would not dare to force herself like this. It was obviously Chu Ruoyan's order in advance.
But she is like this——
At this moment, Tu Sheer on the side could no longer control his temper and took a step forward to scold Pan Qing. Fortunately, Chang Wan saw it and held him back. She then stood in front of Tusheer In front of him, he smiled at Pan Qing and said: "The princess's favorite is hawthorn cake. The reason why she doesn't eat it now is because she wants to keep it and enjoy it together when His Highness King Qin comes back."
As he said this, , and laughed and said: "No. I wonder if Your Highness has tasted Mrs. Chu’s craftsmanship.”
Hearing this, Pan Qing hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shang Ruyi, and said, “It turns out that the princess wants to enjoy it with Your Highness. This - its In fact, my wife has just learned this snack and sent it to the princess. King Qin has not used it yet."
Shang Ruyi said with a smile: "Then I must taste it with your highness. ”
After saying that, he sent a wink to Tu Sheer, so Tu Sheer stepped forward and gave Pan Qing a piece of silver, and said with a smile: "I will send sister Pan Qing back."
Pan Qing had no choice but to give it to Pan Qing. Neng bowed, turned around and walked out with Tu Sheer.
Shang Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Chang Wan, and said with a smile: "Thanks to your eyes just now, if She'er had spoken, I'm afraid I would have offended someone again today."
Chang Wan said: "She'er can't bear to see the princess being wronged."
As she said this, she walked over and saw Shang Ruyi's hand. The teacup next to me was almost empty, so I went to add some hot water first, then picked up the lid of the food box and prepared to close it and put it away. At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps outside, and it was obviously not just Tusheer. When a person came back, they both looked up and saw Tu Sheer sending Pan Qing off, but then came in with another person, it was Su Qinglan, the imperial physician.
Carrying a medicine box as usual, she walked in and saluted Shang Ruyi respectfully. Shang Ruyi immediately smiled and said, "Master Su, don't be too polite."
After that, Chang Wan Prepare.
Su Qinglan came to check for her pulse as usual. As usual, Changwan took out a small hand pad prepared by Qianqiu Palace and put it under Shang Ruyi's wrist, while Su Qinglan stretched out her hand. He warmed it on the stove to make sure his hands were not cold at all, then stepped forward to plead guilty, and then held Shang Ruyi's hand. After diagnosing her pulse carefully for a while, she said with a smile: "The princess's pulse is stable and there is nothing wrong with her."
Shang Ruyi smiled and put down his sleeves and said, "Here comes Mr. Laosu."
Su Qinglan said hurriedly: "This is a matter for minor ministers."
After saying that, she looked around again and said: "Not many people came to Qianqiu Palace today."
Shang Ruyi said: "There were so many people here in the past two days that I didn't have a day to spare. Today is okay. Only someone from Jinyuyuan brought some snacks."
"Oh?"
Su Qinglan raised her eyebrows slightly.
She is not a nosy person, but because she was ordered by the emperor to take care of Shang Ruyi's pregnancy, she has to listen and see more about all the matters in Qianqiu Palace, plus the King of Qin The matter of the concubine could not be hidden from anyone, so she had always known about the not-too-close relationship between Chu Ruoyan and Shang Ruyi. She also knew that Chu Ruoyan had not made any statement about Shang Ruyi's pregnancy for so many days. .
Unexpectedly, today, he took the initiative to break the deadlock.
Just——a snack?
Su Qinglan thought for a while and said: "Wei Chen is brave, can you please ask the princess to show Wei Chen the snacks sent by Mrs. Chu."
