The book begins with the waste of all the members

They moved the small table to the gate of Chengming Palace, and the sight of people from both sides eating through the door was really funny.

"Why don't you just come in and eat." Wei Yu said, "You're under house arrest and can't go out, but it doesn't say others can't come in."

"Miss, this isn't a good idea." Yin Lan whispered, "Although they are guards, they are also outsiders. They can't enter the concubines' palace unless it's urgent."

"How can eating not be an important matter? Food is the most important thing for people. Besides, what kind of concubine's palace is this? Haven't I been deposed?" Wei Yu said without any concern.

"Well, that seems to be the case."

Yinlan was easily persuaded by Wei Yu, and even asked Yinsheng to move stools for Loulan and Bai Shuyang.

"Hahaha, how can this be so embarrassing," Bai Shuyang said as he could no longer wait to squeeze in through the crack in the door. He even invited Loulan to sit down like a host, "Loulan, come and sit down. I'm starving. I can finally eat."

Yinlan glanced at Bai Shuyang with disdain and said, "Drink it. The lady said it's very nourishing."

Bai Shuyang stirred the soup a few times. There were a few slices of meat in it. It smelled very fragrant, but he could still vaguely smell a little bit of mutton.

I don’t really want to drink, what should I do?

But as a child of a famous family, it was very impolite to waste other people's kindness. Bai Shuyang made up his mind and drank the whole bowl of mutton soup in one gulp.

Seeing his almost ferocious expression, Wei Yu persuaded him, "It's okay. If you don't like it, don't eat it. I've made other dishes..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard Bai Shuyang's exclamation.

"This...this mutton soup is so delicious! The slight hint of mutton flavor is just right, and it's delicious in the mouth."

After saying that, Bai Shuyang even refilled his bowl. "It's a little spicy and a little numb, and it warms my body. This mutton soup is perfect for winter."

"Indeed, we used to drink mutton soup in winter. It is very nutritious." Wei Yu sighed.

"Can I learn? My mother is very afraid of the cold in winter, so I'd make this for her."

"Of course, no problem. I'll write down the ingredients and cooking steps for you after dinner."

"a thankful heart."

Wei Yu was stunned for a moment. It had been a long time since she heard such a modern joke. She really missed it a little and wondered when she could go back.

Wei Yu couldn't help but sigh.

Lou Lan used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of beef for Wei Yu and asked, "Are you missing your family?"

"Well, I miss my family and friends."

Yin Lan followed up Wei Yu's words and said, "Ever since the young lady entered the palace, the lady hasn't come to see you. Don't you miss her?"

Wei Yu’s gossip radar started beeping, and he smelled the scent of melon.

It had been at least three years since Empress Wei entered the palace and was banished to the cold palace and died. It was strange that Madam Wei had never entered the palace.

Given the current status of the Wei family, if Madam Wei wants to enter the palace, it would just be a matter of a word, unless she doesn't want to.

"Why do you think mother doesn't want to enter the palace?" Wei Yu asked Yin

Yinlan refused to answer Wei Yu's question and gave Wei Yu a cake.

"Miss, how do you eat this cake?"

Bai Shuyang looked at Wei Yu with great curiosity.

Wei Yu: “…”

Wei Yu had no choice but to demonstrate to them how to eat crescent cakes.

They never knew that you could eat sesame seed buns with meat in them, and it tastes very good.

"A bite of pancake and a bite of soup are a perfect match. Wei Yu, you are so talented. I admire you so much." After saying this, Bai Shuyang started to brag again.

Also break the crescent cake into small pieces and put them into the soup to eat.

Foodies have an amazing talent for eating. Even if it’s something they have never eaten before, they can always find a very delicious way to eat it.

Compared to Bai Shuyang, Loulan's eating manners were much better. He drank his soup and ate his pancakes slowly, but he ate a lot.

It can be seen that they all like today's food very much.

Wei Yu was full after eating two bowls of soup and half a pancake. As a chef, he felt a great sense of accomplishment when he saw them eating so happily.

I originally thought that Yinlan would be the second person to put down her chopsticks, but unexpectedly, Yinlan was eating so happily.

Wei Yu felt that the remaining half of the pancake in his hand suddenly tasted fragrant.

"I haven't had such a delicious meal in a long time."

Wei Yu clearly heard Loulan's voice trembling slightly. Was it so delicious that it made her want to cry?

"I noticed you really like spicy food."

"Yeah, I used to love eating it, but now I can hardly eat it."

"That's it."

You look so pitiful. Sister will do it for you often in the future, Wei Yu thought.

Their meal took more than an hour, and it was already dark when they finished.

Yinsheng slumped down in his chair, rubbing his round belly. He ate the most during the meal, and Wei Yu even gave him two pounds of noodles.

As expected, this little brat is really good at eating me to death. He is not lying to me.

Wei Yu also moved a rocking chair to the yard to enjoy the cool air.

"The autumn breeze brings a refreshing coolness."

Wei Yu looked at the stars in the sky and felt like he was already retired.

Isn’t the reason why office workers work hard just to retire early?

very nice.

At about nine o'clock, there was a knock on the door and Bai Shuyang's voice came from outside the door.

"Wei Yu, we're off duty now. The two guards who will be taking over are Concubine Jia's men. Be careful and don't let them get caught with anything."

Concubine Jia?

She was so comfortable that she almost forgot that the original owner had a mortal enemy in the palace. During the days of house arrest, the spoiled meals sent from the imperial kitchen were ordered by Concubine Jia.

Don't ask her why she knew that. It was because every time the eunuch came to deliver food, he would share with her through the door what rewards and honors Concubine Jia had received recently, and also do some dirty talk about their Chengming Palace.

Wei Yu didn't care at all. What did the Yin-Yang Queen Wei have to do with her?

However, Yinlan and Yinsheng couldn't bear to see Wei Yu being wronged like this, so they would argue with the eunuch who delivered food every time, and every word they said was a mad mockery of Concubine Jia for not being able to have children.

He looked like he would curse any dog that passed by.

Every time, Wei Yu watched them fighting with great interest. She also thoughtfully prepared honey water for Yinlan and Yinsheng to moisten their throats.

But I didn’t expect that Concubine Jia had replaced all the guards with her own people.

She is worthy of being Queen Wei. Even after being deposed, Concubine Jia still keeps biting her.

It was the emperor who instigated the conflict between Concubine Jia and Empress Wei.

This starts with the emperor's white moonlight, Concubine Chen.

The Concubine Chen and the current emperor are childhood sweethearts. The Concubine Chen is of humble origin and could only enter the palace as a concubine.

The two were very loving after their marriage, but the Concubine Chen had no children. The Empress Dowager was very anxious, so she asked the late emperor to arrange a marriage for the current emperor and marry Ye Zhonglin, who was of noble birth, as his principal wife.

Ye Zhonglin has a gentle and generous personality. After entering the palace, she quickly gained the emperor's favor. At the same time, she also had a very good relationship with the Concubine Chen.

The concubine was often asked to learn how to manage the affairs of the palace.

Later, the emperor was forced by the situation to marry a concubine and two concubines in succession.

Therefore, the emperor felt very guilty towards Concubine Chen.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he gave Concubine Chen the title of concubine. At that time, Concubine Chen's title was not "Chen" but Defei, and she was given the power to assist in managing the six palaces.

Soon, Concubine Chen and the Queen became pregnant at the same time. This was originally a great joyous event, but Queen Ye suddenly fell ill and died, leaving two lives. Concubine Chen was so sad to hear the bad news that she lost the child and was bedridden herself.

The emperor lost Queen Ye and two children in succession, and began to go crazy.

People in the Imperial Medical Bureau were either executed or dismissed from their posts, and the losses were heavy.

In addition, the emperor was also nitpicking at the queen's funeral and executed more than 60 officials and palace maids.

The reasons include but are not limited to errors in the translation of posthumous titles, incomprehensible use of sacrificial tables, crude writing of titles, and negligence in ritual procedures.

Even local officials who did not immediately submit petitions to go to Beijing to attend the funeral were dismissed or demoted.

Any official who had any flaws in the funeral of the late queen was punished by the emperor, and the attack was indiscriminate.

Even Prince Ning, who helped preside over the funeral and was the emperor's younger brother, was not spared by the emperor.

When Prince Ning was reading the eulogy, his tone was not sad enough, so he was deposed and demoted to a prince.

Not only that, the emperor ordered everyone in the world to observe a three-year national mourning for Queen Ye.

It can't be criticized anymore.

After the national mourning was over, the empress dowager suggested that the emperor appoint a new empress. The emperor wanted to make Concubine De the empress and told the empress dowager so, but the empress dowager objected.

The Empress Dowager's reason was that the Emperor had been overly doting on Concubine De in recent years, and Concubine De's mother's family had also risen in status, so their whole family became arrogant.

The Empress Dowager had also heard a little about what Defei's mother's family did in the court. If Defei became the Queen again, wouldn't Defei's mother's family be able to dominate the Emperor? The Empress Dowager said she would not agree no matter what.

The emperor had no choice but to propose not to reinstate the queen.

But the Queen Mother refused, and the Emperor had no choice but to compromise.

The Queen Mother personally chose the daughter of the Wei family as the new queen.

The emperor was very unwilling to see that his beloved could not become the queen, so the day before the queen's enthronement ceremony, he changed the title of Concubine De and gave her the name "Chen".

Chen, where the North Star is located, is also a nickname for the emperor.

This is purely a slap in the face of the new queen.

What's even more outrageous is that the emperor also named the always nosy Feng Zhaoyi as Jiafei, and granted Jiafei the power to assist in managing the six palaces. His purpose was to have Jiafei and the newly-crowned queen fight each other, and then his beloved Chenfei would reap the benefits.

Even people outside the palace knew about the plan, except Empress Wei and Concubine Jia. The two of them were fighting each other to the death and had no time to focus on dealing with Concubine Chen.

In the end, it was Queen Wei who brought her own death upon herself, and she really died.

Wei Yu was glad that she was under house arrest, and Concubine Jia didn't dare to do anything to her openly. In the end, she just used some little tricks to disgust her.

whatever.

Wei Yu rocked himself to sleep in the rocking chair.

Waking up to another beautiful day.

perhaps.
