The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

Yun Zhining was amused by her and her expression became better.

"My little Grape is still the best. With you by my side, I feel better and have a better appetite."

"Go to the imperial kitchen and see if there's anything sour and spicy to appetize. Make some for me and see if that can help alleviate the problem."

"Okay, mother, wait a moment, I'll go to the imperial kitchen."

Little Grape walked briskly to the imperial kitchen. Just as she arrived at the door, she heard a quarrel.

She rushed in immediately and saw the fourth princess and the fifth princess fighting.

The fourth princess's face was covered in blood.

The fifth princess's clothes and hair were messy, and there were several slap marks on her face.

Both of their eyes were bloodshot, and they looked at each other as if they were mortal enemies, wishing to kill each other immediately.

Little Grape's face darkened instantly.

"What are you two doing?"

A voice came from behind, and the fourth and fifth princesses turned around quickly.

The moment they saw Little Grape, their hands and feet froze, not knowing where to put them.

"Big sister, why are you here?"

"If I hadn't come, you would have turned the tables."

"Let go now!"

The two of them immediately let go and stood facing each other.

Little Grape glared at the two of them and snorted coldly.

"Tell me the truth. Why did you fight for no reason?"

"It's the fifth sister..."

"It's my fourth sister..."

"stop!"

Little Grape raised her hand to interrupt them.

"Don't say it all at once, one at a time."

"Xiaowu, you speak first."

The fifth princess finally seized the opportunity and immediately blurted out everything that was in her heart, like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

"Big sister, this is what happened..."

Half an hour ago, it was almost time for lunch, but Concubine Feng was still busy, so she asked her personal maid Amber to go to the imperial kitchen to get the food.

The fifth princess was bored, so she followed Amber here.

The three meals a day are the busiest times for the imperial kitchen. Everyone is on tiptoe, their faces are covered in sweat, and their clothes are soaked.

Amber called out several times before a steward from the imperial kitchen came running over.

"What do you want to do in the imperial kitchen, young lady?"

"I am Amber, the chief maidservant of Concubine Feng of Yuhua Palace. I am here to get lunch on the orders of Concubine Feng. Please prepare lunch for Concubine Feng as soon as possible. Concubine Feng is still waiting in Yuhua Palace. If I delay, she will punish me severely."

"Miss Amber, please wait a moment. I will go and see if Concubine Feng's lunch is ready."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Amber handed over a piece of silver, but the steward did not take it. Instead, he took a few steps back, smiled at Amber, and immediately turned around and left.

Not long after, the steward came back and smiled apologetically.

"The Imperial Kitchen is short-staffed. We are preparing lunch for the ladies above the rank of Consort. Miss Amber will have to wait a while."

"How long is a while?"

The steward silently raised a finger.

"An hour."

"What did you say?"

Amber's eyes widened instantly.

"Wait another hour, lunch time will be over. If I go back, Concubine Jie will beat me to death!"

"Father-in-law, can you be faster?"

After saying that, she took out another piece of silver and stuffed it together with the previous piece into the butler's hand.

But the steward still refused to accept it.

Amber is not stupid either.

If he refused to accept it the first time, it might be because he was shy, but if he refused to accept it the second time and looked a little resistant, it proved that someone was playing tricks behind his back.

She quickly grabbed the steward, who struggled desperately and accidentally fell onto the stove beside him.

A palace maid had just cooked a bowl of ginseng chicken soup, but when he hit her, the bowl flew out and broke into pieces.

The maid screamed, immediately rushed over to grab him, and cried.

"It's over, it's over, Manager Xu, the chicken soup was supposed to be sent to Changyuan Palace for Concubine An. If Concubine An blames us, neither you nor I can escape."

"What should we do now?"

"Wait a moment!"

Amber suddenly remembered something.

"If I remember correctly, this bowl of chicken soup should belong to our Yuhua Palace. How come it became Changyuan Palace's?"

Manager Xu's expression flickered and he spoke vaguely.

"Miss Amber, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word you say?"

"That's you!"

"Early this morning, I came to the imperial kitchen to ask for ginseng chicken soup for our concubine. You said that ginseng chicken soup needs to be stewed for several hours to taste delicious, so you asked me to come and get it at lunch."

"I specifically asked if anyone else in front of me had ordered ginseng chicken soup. Would it take up your time?"

"You told me with all your heart that no one ordered ginseng chicken soup before me, so I will definitely get ginseng chicken soup at lunch."

"But you gave the ginseng chicken soup that should have been given to our Yuhua Palace to Changyuan Palace. What's the matter? Do you think that our Concubine Feng's position is not as high as Concubine An's, so you want to curry favor with Concubine An as soon as possible to avoid trouble with you after Concubine An becomes the queen?"

The steward cursed her silently in his heart with a smirk on his face.

"Miss Amber, you misunderstood. This bowl of ginseng chicken soup is really from Changyuan Palace, not from your Yuhua Palace."

The amber eyes narrowed slightly.

"So according to what you said, after I left, people from Changyuan Palace also came to the imperial kitchen and asked for a bowl of ginseng chicken soup?"

Manager Xu's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.

"Yes, this ginseng chicken soup was ordered by the people of Changyuan Palace after you, Miss Amber, left."

"So this bowl of ginseng chicken soup belongs to Changyuan Palace, not Yuhua Palace. Miss Amber should not cause trouble for us here."

"I promise you that I will make sure that Concubine Feng drinks ginseng chicken soup before tonight. Isn't that enough?"

"Bullshit your grandpa!"

Amber yelled angrily and slapped him with her hand.

Manager Xu's face swelled up instantly, and one of his teeth was about to fall out. It was only a matter of time before it fell out.

Manager Xu became a manager at a young age, not because of his cooking skills or his popularity, but because he had a...

Godfather!

His godfather is Manager Zhang from the laundry department.

Manager Zhang from the laundry department has a good relationship with the chief steward of the imperial kitchen, so he can't say he is arrogant in the imperial kitchen, but at least he is showing off his power. The concubines in the harem didn't dare to slap him in the face. But today, he was slapped in the face by a little palace maid in public, and even lost a tooth. How could he bear it?

They started taking action immediately.

"How dare you, Manager Xu, hit my sister Amber. Do you really want to die?"

A voice floated from the low sky. Manager Xu quickly lowered his head and met the Fifth Princess' angry eyes. His heart almost stopped beating and his voice stuttered.

"Fifth, Fifth Princess, when did you come?"

"As for me, of course I came with Sister Amber."

Manager Xu felt as if he was struck by lightning and froze in place for an instant.

So, the fifth princess saw the entire argument between him and Amber just now?

No, he had to remedy that quickly.

"Fifth, Fifth Princess, please, please listen to my explanation!"

"Okay, stop explaining!"

The fifth princess raised her hand to interrupt him and said in a cold voice.

"Do you really think that I am so young that I can be easily deceived?"

"You said that the people from Changyuan Palace came to the imperial kitchen after Sister Amber left and asked for a bowl of ginseng chicken soup. Then why did the people who came later already get the ginseng chicken soup, while the people who came earlier had to wait until the evening to get it?"

"Where does this make sense?"

"Why, seeing that Concubine An has taken control of the harem and is about to become the Empress, you look down on my mother and want to step on her to please Concubine An and have her promote you more?"

The children in the harem have lived in an atmosphere of fighting and deception since childhood, and the word "palace fighting" has been engraved in their bones. Although the fifth princess seems a little silly compared to Xiao Pu Tao, Wan'er and the seventh princess, but when she is singled out, she is very smart. Not only is she not fooled by Manager Xu's sweet words, she also keenly grasps the handle in his words, leaving Manager Xu speechless.

"Slave, slave, ..."

Just as Manager Xu was racking his brains to find a way to make the matter go away, a voice came from outside the door.

"Manager Xu, is my mother's ginseng chicken soup ready? Is the squirrel mandarin fish I ordered ready?"

The light sound was like a huge hammer weighing thousands of pounds hitting Manager Xu, and Manager Xu's face turned pale instantly.

Ruined!

The fourth princess is here!

There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind him, he is bound to die this time!

Woo woo woo, who come save him!
