Chapter 2417 Waste Princess 6
This is a punishment, but what else can be done? You can't abolish the queen and lower the status of the three concubines just for this matter.
In order to coax the Queen Mother, King Liang gave an order: "Since everyone is here, let's have a family dinner here. Come, prepare the seats and food."
"Here!" the valet agreed first, but immediately showed embarrassment: "This seat will be prepared immediately, that is, we will ask someone to move the table. But eating will only take a while..."
"What's wrong?" King Liang squinted his eyes wide.
"The chefs in the dining room are all being beaten. Those who have been beaten less may be able to stand up and cook a few dishes, but the chef in charge will be beaten twenty times and he probably won't be able to work for three to five days." The waiter seemed to smile. She looked like she was crying, so well-controlled that even King Liang couldn't laugh or cry.
I forgot about this, but the words have already been spoken, so you can't keep your words unanswered.
King Liang said to Empress Liang Jiang: "It's all your fault. Now my children don't have food to eat. It's up to you to make arrangements." There was a transfer of responsibility.
Liang Jianghou...
Fortunately, high-ranking concubines have their own chefs, and there are always several palace servants who know how to cook. Empress Liang Jiang asked everyone in the palace who could cook to go to the dining room to find something to eat. If there was nothing available, they would make some quickly. Then he evened out the food boxes brought by all the princes and princesses, and the family dinner was barely complete.
The family banquet was held in the courtyard, and the seats were seated according to age. As the fourteenth princess, Xining's seat was almost at the entrance of the courtyard.
I really don’t like sitting on my knees, but I have to wait a thousand years for a chair. As for the later appearance, a small stool for kneeling and sitting would have to wait 500 years. Xiaori also copied the kneeling stool, but they didn't know it was for sitting, and instead used it to hold sushi.
There was a bowl of corn porridge, a steamed bun, two slices of mutton, and half a bowl of vegetables on the table. In modern times, no one would believe that this was a palace banquet.
Well, compared to other places at the same time, it's not bad to have a stutter. Many places are still wearing animal skins and leaves, beating around with Stone Age weapons, and there is no writing.
Pick up the steamed buns, at least they are made from white flour and are softer than whole grains. The dishes are also fresh, and there are two slices of mutton. While eating these, I was thinking about burgers and fried chicken legs. Even braised pork is good. Unfortunately, there is currently only doenjang, and it will take hundreds of years to get soy sauce. Even miso is not something ordinary people can afford.
Later, they added a vegetable and a small plate of plain-cut chicken, and the King and Queen Mother of Liang added an extra bowl of fish soup. In order to show her love, the Queen Mother asked someone to serve a bowl to the Prince.
Everyone said that the prince was smart, but Xining didn't seem to be very smart. When King Liang scolded his mother Liang Jiang just now, she was kneeling there, not even daring to let out a fart.
Others enjoyed the food very well, but for people who are used to eating delicious food, dishes with bitter coarse salt tasted strange, as if bitter melon was added to everything.
Oh my God, if I just want to eat enough, can I change to another dimension, at least a dynasty with refined salt?
Finally, a plate of plums was served, and each person shared two. Looking at the plums, which are not much bigger than quail eggs, I feel almost drunk. The cheap snacks and big bowls of tea in the rest area are much better than these.
If you're not hungry now, you shouldn't die. Is the mission completed? Sister wants to leave here, 嘤嘤嘤.
Mo Ming: "You have fallen. Where has the hard-working Lord God gone?"
Xining: Dead.
Mo Ming...
There was unavoidable chatter and flattery in the front, but Xining didn't bother to pay attention to the drama of a loving mother and a filial son, and a peaceful relationship between wives and concubines. Just because I was hungry, I closed my eyes and ate these things in a hurry. He also broke off half of the steamed bun, stuffed two pieces of meat in the middle, and secretly handed it to Chun'er who was kneeling behind him from under the table.
After Chun'er received it, she looked at her gratefully and quietly stuffed half of the bun into her lapel.
He is smart, at least he knows not to eat here. Don't worry, follow me, take care of the popular food, and start on the road to a well-off life. When they were almost done eating, King Liang said he had to deal with state affairs and left early. Liang Jianghou and the three ladies also left and took their children away.
The princes and princesses also left one after another, and the younger ones were also taken away by their biological mother who had been waiting outside the door.
Chun'er originally wanted to leave, but her master didn't move, so she could only kneel down.
People left one by one, and the palace people began to clean up. The Queen Mother was sitting at the head table and immediately caught sight of the Fourteenth Princess who was still kneeling.
"Mo Yatou, why haven't you left yet?" The Queen Mother couldn't help but ask.
Xining stood up. Oops, his legs were numb from his knees. Fortunately, there wasn't much to eat. If he had four cold dishes and eight hot dishes, he would be unable to get up after finishing the meal.
He stood up and walked to the Queen Mother in a polite manner. There was no futon on the floor, so he just knelt down in front of her.
"Mo'er saw that it was useless to see her grandmother, so she thought of spending time with her again." She tried her best to show her filial piety and well-behavedness. Even though Prince Liang was not the biological son of the Queen Mother, in the palace, the Queen Mother was second only to or even equal to Prince Liang. Thick thighs. Prince Liang, a scumbag, didn't seem to be reliable, so the Queen Mother would hug her thigh no matter what.
She actually cared about how much she didn't eat. Among the people in the whole yard, this girl was the only one who cared about her... The Queen Mother couldn't help but feel a little moved, but after being in the palace for a long time, she had long been trained not to talk easily. So he said indifferently: "I am old and have no appetite. I only eat a few things all day long. Two bowls of corn porridge a day is enough. It is getting late, so you should go back and rest early."< br>
"Yes, grandma. Grandma also rested early. Mo'er will come see you tomorrow." Xining stood up with a salute, took three steps back, and then turned and left.
Now everyone in the courtyard except the Queen Mother's people had left.
The Queen Mother glanced at the empty courtyard, and her mood was just like the sky at this time, which was getting darker and darker. After sighing, he lifted it up and was supported by Zi Ling beside him, and followed the Queen Mother into the house.
On the way back, Chun'er took out the steamed bun hidden in her arms and ate it. Happy while eating: "Princess, my servant has eaten meat for two meals today. I hope I can eat meat for every meal every day in the future."
After returning to the small house where she lived, looking at the house with almost nothing, Chun'er remembered: "All the things have been carried to the Queen Mother, I will get them right away."
"Hey, what are you doing?" Xining called her and knelt down. I really hate sitting on my knees, so I have to put that small stool on my schedule no matter what.
"The quilts are all in the cabinet. If I don't bring them back, what will I cover them with tonight?" Chun'er remembered something again. When they moved out, the eunuchs carried them away: "I can't move them alone, so why don't I put the quilts first?" Bring back the pillow.”
"Don't be anxious, come here, sit next to me and wait." Xining calmly tidied his clothes and sat upright.
What are you waiting for? Chun'er was confused, but still sat beside her honestly.
Then I heard a voice coming from outside the door: "Your Majesty has rewarded the Fourteenth Princess, please come out to welcome her."
Xining raised his eyebrows at Chun'er, stood up and went out.
When the King of Liang was with the Queen Mother, and was criticized by the Queen Mother, he always had to show his respect to his concubines. Therefore, each person was rewarded with one piece of silk, two pieces of cloth, and fifty taels of silver.
Just after collecting them, Empress Liang Jiang sent someone to deliver things, including a piece of cloth and two pieces of jewelry.
After this wave left, her concubine Mrs. Jiang Shu, who was taking care of her on her behalf, also sent people to deliver things, including four sets of summer clothes and two sets of winter clothes. Although the clothes were obviously leftovers from her daughter's clothes at first glance, they were still 80% to 90% new, which temporarily solved her problem of not having clothes that fit her.
Just as he was getting dressed and looking around happily, Ziling also came.
