Fei Zhi's prayer probably didn't hear the gods and Buddhas in the sky. At this time, I was preparing for war in the kitchen, but my situation was really not very good.

Taking the sign assigned to him, Nian Fu asked the eunuch named Guo, the manager, to argue, "I came early, why did I give me a sign so far? Isn't this coming first and then?"

Eunuch Guo glanced at her sideways and said coldly, "How do you know that they didn't come first? You thought you came early, but they had come to say hello many days earlier. Okay, it would be nice to have a chance to serve dishes to the empress dowager. Just wait. If you can't make it in the end, you won't miss your reward. You will be satisfied if you don't work."

Nianfu was so angry that he knew the little ghost's difficulty, and he didn't argue with him. He just smiled and took out a ingot of silver from his arms and handed it over, whispering nice words, "Please give me some convenience. Are there some people who haven't come here? I'll borrow a stove first, and when they come, I'll get out of here immediately, right? In fact, your Manager Yu in the imperial kitchen has Shou..."

But Eunuch Guo's face sank, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Do you want to bribe me openly? Take back the money quickly. You can't tell that you are so evil at such a young age! Mr. Yu from the Royal Kitchen has always been upright, so how could he recognize a villain like you? Some people in this world are shameless, and they are afraid that they will use other people's names to cheat. They are so shameless!"

His loud shout immediately attracted everyone's eyes, either looking at the scolded girl with contempt or contempt. Nianfu was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground! But he could only swallow this breath and wait aside.

After watching this good show, a maid dressed in a palace maid smiled at Eunuch Guo knowingly and walked away quickly.

Soon, she came to the inner kitchen in the palace where she cooked for the emperor and the queen mother and other noble people, and whispered a few words beside a tall woman.

"Go well done, go." The woman sneered and turned around. It was Lu Ying.

It is also impolite to come without being polite. If you dare to throw her bookmark in front of her like that, you have to bear the price of this result!

At this time, Zi Jiang came forward and said, "Girl, everything you want is ready."

"Okay, then let's start."

Lu Ying walked to another small kitchen with a solemn expression. After closing the door, he saw a large iron cage in the kitchen, with iron plates laid under the cage. There were dozens of big white gooses that were flying around and washed white. Under the cage, charcoal fires had been set up.

He took a chopstick and tried the taste. Lu Ying asked someone to carry a few buckets of prepared sauce to every corner of the cage, and then said with a calm face. "Let's light!"

As the charcoal fire burned, the white geese in the cage could no longer stand. They were flapping around, but no matter how they walked, they were hot everywhere, so they had to stretch their necks to drink the sauce.

But the more I drank the sauce, the more thirsty they became, and the hotter they were under their feet. The white geese screamed in pain and rammed hard to hit the cage. They wanted to escape from this desperate situation. But the iron cage was strong, so how could they escape?

Even Zi Jiang couldn't stand it anymore. But Lu Ying was still staring at these painful white geese, observing their scalded flippers, and told him, "It's not enough! Pay attention to controlling the heat, don't burn them to death at once, try to stretch it for as long as possible."

Yes. Zi Jiang and the people who were helpers agreed in fear, but they couldn't help but feel a little compassionate.

Isn't this a bit too cruel to die?

Today is a rare sunny day in winter. Seeing the bright sunshine rising little by little, Queen Mother Mu was in a very good mood.

The concubines and the officials who came to the palace to pay their birthday talked together, saying auspicious words, "After all, the Empress Dowager, the blessings are different. Even God is particularly eye-catching, and I want to add luster to your future."

Although he knew it was flattering, the Empress Dowager was still very happy to hear it. Even when she saw Mrs. Tan, who had not seen for a long time, she did not have her eyebrows raised as before. She smiled at her gently and said a few words.

Mrs. Tan was very happy and hurriedly gave her a few small needles and threads. The empress dowager wanted to give her face, so she praised her a few words and gave her a pretty good reward.

None of the wives present could not wink. They knew that although the Queen Mother was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Tan because of the matter of County Lord Ruian, after all, Mrs. Tan married Duke Ping with her permission. After all, she was angry, and the Queen Mother still wanted to give her three-point face. So everyone was very conscious and helped the scene, and then led the topic to Duke Ping who went to Xishan to recuperate and Princess Changguo who was about to return to Beijing.

When talking about Princess Changguo, the empress dowager sighed slightly, "Our princess has always been the most capable one, but unfortunately the prince-consort's health is not very good. This time, I have to let the Imperial Hospital take a good look. If I don't have it, I will send it to Xishan to recuperate with his uncle. Otherwise, they will not even have a child in the years they got married, which really makes the Ai family feel at ease."

He hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, "The Empress Dowager doesn't have to worry too much. The princess and the princess are still young, so there will be children sooner or later. By the way, I heard that the princess has already returned to the court, so she should be able to catch up before the New Year, right?"

"Yes. I've sent someone to send a letter to the palace. The girl said she wanted to give the Ai family a surprise. Really, I'll just come back properly, what else can I have to surprise?"

Although the Empress Dowager was angry, who could not tell the joy inside and outside? So the crowd hurriedly spoke auspicious words again, which made the Empress Dowager smile again, and then the topic gradually touched the children of each family who were sensible and naughty.

But when it comes to understanding things, the best model for "returning to justice" in the capital is Master Guan from Zhenyuan Hou Mansion.

A wife said to Mrs. Guan, "The young master of the Guan Hou family is really sensible. Last time our master went to visit, he said that the fish balls he had eaten were filial to your son. I praised him for a long time when I went home."

Another lady said, "Our old man retired and returned home, so he could draw a few strokes, but the ordinary mounters were not satisfied with the costumes. After all, your grandson helped him and asked Mr. Su's disciple to frame it. The effect of the frame was much better than before, even I, an amateur, felt that the effect was much better than before."

Mrs. Guan and Mrs. Guan were trying hard to hold back their smiles and not show their teeth, but the faces of the young and old were almost blooming.

After hearing their talk lively, the Queen Mother suddenly remembered something, "I said before that I wanted to see the picture of Magu's birthday present in your family, but did you bring it here?"

"Bring it!" Mrs. Guan hurriedly held the painting on her own and opened it to see that everyone was very proud of it.

The sweeter Mrs. Guan smiled, the older Mrs. Guan was very dissatisfied. She thought to look back on her birthday and she must paint a better painting and frame it better!

But no one noticed that when the Empress Dowager's eyes fell on the face of the Magu in the painting, a hint of surprise and complexity flashed over her almost unpredictable. Aunt Shanyin, who was beside her, was even more shocked and shocked.

Why...how is it so similar?

"Hey, look, does this Magu look a bit like Concubine Zheng?" Suddenly, a concubine saw some clues and asked with a smile on her.

Mrs. Zheng hurriedly stood up to apologize, "I dare not take this as a painting by a folk girl, so I dare not offend the Imperial Concubine."

The Queen Mother inside is painting her. If you want to say that Ma Gu is like Concubine Zheng, isn’t that looking for a blow?

Concubine Zheng smiled and relieved her, "People are similar, things are similar, and there are more people in the world who look like each other. But speaking of this, this girl's eyebrows and eyes really look like me."

Even if he was dissatisfied with his wife's popularity, when outsiders came, Mrs. Zheng still put the overall situation first and helped her make things smoother, "Where can a folk girl have the blessing of the concubine? I'm afraid that the top scholar would deliberately paint it beautifully, but unexpectedly hit the concubine."

A wife next to her who is close to the Zheng family said, "Yes, the concubine is so elegant and luxurious, how can she be compared to ordinary women?"

Empress Dowager Mu looked at Concubine Zheng, who was giggling with bright eyes, but the corners of her lips were a little unhappy, and she said lightly, "If you say it is elegant and luxurious, the harem should recommend the Empress as the first priority."

As soon as this said, all the concubines and ladies were shocked. The lady who spoke even regretted her words and hurriedly knelt down and admitted her mistake. Concubine Zheng felt shameless, but the queen was secretly happy, thinking that the queen mother would still protect herself.

She was not a partner of Gao Xian, but was the one who reunited after Gao Xian ascended the throne. She considered more political factors. She was incomparable to Concubine Zheng in terms of favor, and she was also good at being a human being, so the empress dowager has always been good to her.

But after suppressing it, the Empress Dowager slowed down her expression and said with a gentle heart, "Occasionally, it's not harmful to joke, as long as you remember the superiority and inferiority in your heart. Everyone doesn't have to be polite, they will continue to talk and laugh before they are lively."

Having said that, who dares to be presumptuous with such a beating? Everyone is careful, and the atmosphere of joking is not as good as before, and it is a little stiff.

Fortunately, at this time, I heard from the palace servants, "The emperor is here!"

So the female family hurriedly stood up and stood according to their rank, knelt down and bowed, and the Empress Dowager sat there without moving. She was slightly arrogant and waited for the most noble and powerful man in the world to come in and celebrate her birthday. This is the greatest pride a woman can have in her life.

Gao Xian smiled and said, "My mother, don't just talk to others. The time is almost here. I'm here to pick you up and receive the gifts. There are also the girls from Shouning and others. I have prepared a show to make you laugh. Let's go quickly."

Well. Empress Dowager Mu held her son's hand with satisfaction and went to accept the worship of the ministers.

In the kitchen at the other end of the palace, Nianfu looked at the rising sun, but his heart was filled with tiles.

In this situation, she died before she could get off the tuition. She saw dishes with all kinds of colors, fragrance and flavor from the kitchen, but she didn't even touch the edge of the stove.

Thinking about the encouragement from the merchants in Taipei City and the earnest hopes of Fei Zhi before coming, Nianfu really felt sorry for them.

Why did that annoying eunuch do to deal with her like this?
