Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 379 The Queen Mother Eats Three Bowls of Dumplings

Cining Palace.

Imperial Physician Song looked at this talented scholar with approval.

This historian is a good person. Not only does he speak in an easy-to-understand manner, but he is also reasonable.

The Queen Mother really listens to Shi Yaoyao.

After hearing what Shi Yaoyao said, she stopped being savage and obediently let Doctor Song treat her wound.

Only after Doctor Song left did the room finally feel peaceful.

"Today's situation was so good, but that bitch Ye Jieyu escaped again."

Xu Rou couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily.

"What do you think?"

The Queen Mother didn't look at Xu Rou, but at Shi Yaoyao.

"I think..."

Shi Yaoyao hesitated.

"If you have something to say, just say it nicely. Why are you being so mysterious?"

Xu Rou rolled her eyes at Shi Yaoyao rudely.

This Shi Yaoyao is always good at keeping people in suspense.

"I feel that Concubine Ye is protected by so many people..."

Shi Yaoyao was still hesitant, as if her next words would scare them.

"explain."

The Queen Mother was also annoyed and scolded her

"I think that Concubine Ye will take that position one day."

Shi Yaoyao raised her hand and pointed in the direction of Kunning Palace.

"She can't even think about it..."

Xu Rou screamed again.

This time the Queen Mother did not refute, but thought about the possibility of this matter.

"We can't...we can't let Concubine Ye become more powerful..."

At this time, the Queen Mother wished that Concubine Ye would die a thousand times, so that she could get rid of the hatred in her heart.

"But... there are so many people protecting her now."

Even if Xu Rou didn't want to admit it, she knew that the yellow leaves were no longer something she could step on whenever she wanted.

"Your Majesty, the food has been brought back..."

A palace maid came in timidly to report.

Only then did the Queen Mother realize that she was extremely hungry.

"Bring the food here and eat it."

The farce in the afternoon had drained all her strength away.

She felt that she had to eat several large bowls of rice to make up for the blood she had lost.

The palace servants brought in food one after another.

Since Xu Rou and Shi Yaoyao did not eat in the Qianqing Palace, their portions were also delivered here.

When they saw the dumplings served at the end, the three of them looked a little unfamiliar.

"This is a bit like the new style of dumpling soup we had at noon..."

Xu Rou said hesitantly.

As she spoke, she did not forget to look at the Queen Mother.

She was afraid that her aunt would not let her eat it.

This is another fresh food. Needless to say, this food will definitely make that bitch Du Fei proud again.

The Queen Mother and Shi Yaoyao also thought of this.

Shi Yaoyao also tasted the dumpling soup at noon.

Although the Queen Mother looked unhappy, she did not dare to eat the second bowl.

But she never forgot that feeling.

"Queen Mother, I have to be angry with people, but it would be a shame if I were to be angry with food."

Shi Yaoyao persuaded the Queen Mother.

Seeing that the Queen Mother didn't pick up the chopsticks, Shi Yaoyao continued to persuade her.

"Think about it, even if you didn't eat it, Concubine Du must think you did."

The Queen Mother also knew this, but she had a hunch.

This food called dumplings and the dumpling soup at noon were both invented by Concubine Ye.

Concubine Du is not that capable yet.

"Aunt, the maid just said that these dumplings won't taste good if they get cold."

Xu Rou also advised the Queen Mother.

The key is the dumplings, they look delicious.

She was a little greedy.

"Eat. Only when you are full will you have the strength to deal with Concubine Ye."

The Queen Mother put a dumpling into her mouth angrily.

that smell...

She quickly ate the second one.

"Why are there only so few? How does Concubine Du do things? She doesn't even let people have enough food?"

The Queen Mother felt that she hadn't even eaten much yet and the dumplings were gone.

"Aunt, the palace maid who brought the food just now said that if the dumplings are not enough, we can get more from the imperial kitchen."

Xu Rou felt that the more she ate the dumplings, the hungrier she became.

She has to eat two more bowls.

"Why don't you go and get it back instead of standing there like a stump?"

The Queen Mother lost her temper at the palace maid waiting by her side.

"Excuse me, Queen Mother, how many bowls can I get back?"

Seeing the Queen Mother lose her temper, the maid became even more frightened.

She asked tremblingly.

"I want two more bowls."

Xu Rou said quickly.

“I have two bowls too.”

Shi Yaoyao continued.

"Six bowls then, go ahead."

The Queen Mother didn't know what was wrong with her at this moment.

She was clearly thinking that she couldn't eat any more, and if she ate one more bite, she would be giving face to that bitch Du Fei.

but…

What she said was completely different from what she thought.

It just... feels quite weird.

While waiting for the palace maid to come back, the three women in the room were silent, all of them were preoccupied with their own thoughts.

As for the tables filled with food, they didn't even look at them.

When the palace maid brought the dumplings back, they insisted on eating three bowls each.

"Aunt, my stomach is so full. I need to go out for a walk to help digest the food. You should also go to bed early."

Xu Rou held her stomach and stood up.

"let's go…"

The Queen Mother waved her hands, she didn't want to move now.

Besides, she wasn't injured and really needed someone to take care of her.

It’s good that Rou’er left.

She finally realized that her niece was a simple-minded person.

She couldn't count on her anymore.

After Xu Rou walked away, Shi Yaoyao helped the empress dowager up, and the two of them walked in the courtyard of the Cining Palace to digest their food.

"Empress Dowager, it's not that we can't deal with that Concubine Ye..."

Shi Yaoyao said in a low voice.

The Queen Mother paused and motioned for her to continue.

"The eldest prince is now living in her Ningyu Pavilion. As long as he is the eldest prince..."

"Don't think about it. Gao'er is the emperor's only prince now..."

Although the Queen Mother was vicious, she also knew that if the Emperor did not have a prince in the future...

Nothing can happen to this eldest prince.

"Your Highness, you misunderstood what I meant..."

Shi Yaoyao hurried to explain.

"What this concubine means is to make the eldest prince feel a little uncomfortable."

Seeing that the Queen Mother said nothing else, she continued.

"As long as the eldest prince makes the slightest mistake, I believe the emperor will send him back to Linhua Palace."

"Then Concubine Ye will no longer use the excuse of taking care of the eldest prince to continue climbing up the social ladder."

"The child is too weak to bear anything else. Let's talk about this later."

The Queen Mother said hesitantly.

"This is just what I thought of now...I will obey the Queen Mother."

Shi Yaoyao was very smart in covering up this matter.

She knew that the Queen Mother was already moved.

The Queen Mother has no regard for the eldest prince as a grandparent or a grandchild.

She was afraid that if something happened to the eldest prince, she would be embarrassed if the emperor found out that she was the one responsible.

There’s no rush… There’s not much else in the harem, but there’s plenty of time.

She has plenty of patience to wait.

"With Rou'er's temper, I can't count on her anymore."

The Queen Mother sighed and talked about something else.

"Xupin...is very pretty."

Shi Yaoyao had to admit that Concubine Xu's appearance was truly impeccable.

"What's the point of being pretty? The emperor still won't go to her place..."

The Queen Mother looked at Shi Yaoyao.

"I have high hopes for you. You must serve the emperor as soon as possible and strive to get ahead of Concubine Ye."
