Shangshi female official

Mother Chen didn't hear a voice behind her, and continued: "Don't worry, they are in a hurry to take out the salt and fill it up first, and they don't have time to care about you, wait until they can take it out and fill it with something."

"In the salt storehouse, where is the original salt?"

"I ordered all the people to be transported to the inner teaching workshop and locked up. They can't do anything they want to do, and the warehouse has been cleaned up. I just wait for them to send salt."

"The one who knows me is Nanny Chen."

Wang Yifu heard that Nanny Chen had already cooperated with her in making arrangements, so she worked harder, and Nanny Chen praised her for her craftsmanship.

Nanny Zhou came in at this time, and said: "My lord, Guanglu Temple said that the salt will be delivered in the afternoon."

Nanny Chen opened her eyes and sat up straight, leaving Wang Yifu's massage, and asked doubtfully, "So fast?"

"Guanglu Temple Zheng Zongyan brought a message, saying that the tribute and salt are enough, so you can rest assured... I don't know where he heard that the salt in the palace was poured with wine, so you must investigate and punish it severely."

Chen Nanny's face darkened in an instant. If the tribute and salt were enough, they must have kept a hand. It was not half a day since the salt storehouse of the Shangshi Bureau was poured, and the master of Guanglu Temple knew about it. too fast.

She put her elbows horizontally on the table, her eyes fixed on nothing, she thought about it for a while, then she made up her mind and said, "Let's go to Kunning Palace."

When the three of them arrived at Kunning Palace, Mother Chen reported to introduce Nu Shi, it was already noon, and it was time for the empress to eat, and Nu Shi entered the room to ask the empress to let them enter the hall to talk.

Before entering the palace, Nanny Chen specifically told Wang Yifu: "Just listen, don't look up and look around, don't offend the empress."

Wang Yifu replied in a low voice: "Yifu understands."

Wang Yifu kept the instruction in mind, didn't raise her head, didn't look around, entered the Kunning Palace, then followed to the east, and arrived at the penultimate room on the east, which was the place where the empress set meals.

This room is very open, with the aisle next to the south window, and two giant doors on the left and right that are two people tall.As soon as I came in, I could smell the aroma of all kinds of food. When I smelled it carefully, there was a scent of flowers when I ate.

The empress is sitting in the north, similar to the emperor's way of setting meals. There is also a large group of people in the room, but there is only one large table in the center, with 24 complete dishes.

She followed Nanny Chen into the door, and after bowing to the queen, she stood behind Nanny Chen and Nanny Zhou.

The empress was eating, and when she saw Nanny Chen coming, she asked, "What's the hurry? Why is it time for dinner?"

Nanny Chen said with a smile: "It's not an urgent matter, but Guanglu Temple moved quickly, and the old minister had to rush here."

The Empress took her chopsticks and asked, "Why are you still involved with Guanglu Temple? What's the matter?"

Nanny Chen said with an embarrassed smile: "It turns out that the empress doesn't know..."

When the Empress heard what Nanny Chen said, she turned to look at the two female officials of the Shang Palace Bureau, both of them bowed their heads in silence, they could only look at the top of their heads.

The empress was suddenly upset, she put down her chopsticks, her left and right eyes were full, she put down the waiter in her hand, and retreated.

The empress asked: "What's the matter, let's talk and listen."

"Last night, someone poured wine into the salt warehouse of Shangshi Bureau. In the morning, the veteran sent someone to Guanglu Temple to ask for salt. Guanglu Temple acted quickly and said it would be delivered in the afternoon.

But the old minister thought, luckily there is nothing serious in the imperial dining room today, and there is enough salt in each dining room, if there is a palace banquet, or a state banquet someday, and the situation like today happens, it will definitely delay things.

Delaying the emperor's diet is a major matter, and losing the royal face is an even bigger matter. "

Empress Yuan Shan frowned slightly, nodded and said: "Chen Shangshi is right."

"The old minister thought that the salt storehouse must be filled, why not take another forty bags of tribute salt today and store it in the idle room in the middle of the imperial dining room.

In this way, the Shangshi Bureau has two places to store salt. Sometimes the salt warehouse is closed at night, and local materials can also be obtained from the imperial dining room. These condiments in the dining room will not be borrowed from each other in a messy manner. There is no fixed number. . "

The empress turned her face to think for a while, exhaled lightly, and then called out: "Call Wang Ji here."

The atmosphere in the room was gloomy for a while, and the empress looked at the table full of dishes and was not in the mood to enjoy them any more, so she said: "Let's take the meal away."

"Your Majesty." Seeing this, Mother Chen stopped her and said, "Even if you are worried, you have to eat well. How about you try the Hundred Flowers Chicken and decide whether to eat or not?"

"Chen Shangshi is an old veteran, since he said so, let's try it."

The Hundred Flowers Chicken had a strange shape, as if all the bones had been pulled out, leaving only two wings and a neck. The whole chicken was grilled horizontally on a plate, surrounded by yellow and white chrysanthemums.

The serving maid took a piece of chicken and served it. The empress took a small bite and raised her eyebrows. Her worries disappeared, and she smelled the piece of chicken carefully, and sighed: "This doesn't look like chicken, it's still sweet and delicious." How come the broken pieces still smell like flowers?"

"Niangniang Minghui, this Baihua chicken is made by removing the skin of the chicken completely, and stuffing it with chopped shrimp, water chestnuts and chrysanthemums. It has the freshness of shrimp and chicken, and the sweetness of water chestnuts, as well as the fragrance of flowers. It tastes refreshing. , my daughter’s family will especially like it.”

"If it wasn't for Chen Shangshi, I would have missed a good dish today."

"What else is pleasing to the eye, you have to taste it, the empress, don't lose your appetite because of some trivial things, you are the merit of waiting for me."

"It is also my blessing to have female officials like Chen Shangshi by my side."

While laughing and talking, Wang Ji, who was also the prince, came into the room with his bow. He kowtowed to the Empress Qiansui, and the empress ordered: "I heard that the salt storehouse of the Shangshi Bureau was hit by a disaster today. Does the internal affairs supervisor know about it?"

"Go back to your empress, Qiu Shangshi has sent someone to tell you this morning, and the internal affairs supervisor has notified Guanglu Temple, and the tribute salt will be replenished in the afternoon."

The empress put down her chopsticks, and carefully taught: "The tribute salt in the palace belongs to one place, it's okay if there is nothing wrong, if there is a big banquet, and then there is something to destroy the salt, delaying the state banquet will damage the royal face.

You ask Guanglu Temple to prepare another [-] bags of salt to the imperial dining room, so that there are two spare places in the palace. "

The prince bowed his body, but his eyes were flickering. The empress observed the abnormality carefully and asked, "What's the matter? What's the problem?"

"No." Eunuch Wang hurriedly replied, and continued: "I just have to go to Guanglu Temple again, I'm afraid I can't arrange it all at once."

"Fill up the salt storehouse first, and then take care of the imperial dining room."

"Little understands."

"Then hurry up and make arrangements."

"Retire, little one."

When Wang Gonggong stepped back, he glanced across the people standing in the corner, and took note of the appearance of a few people.

In the afternoon, Nanny Chen went to the salt storage in person, and there were already Qiu Shangshi and the delivery officials from Guanglu Temple standing at the door. The eunuchs were just about to carry the salt into the house, and Nanny Chen said more than a word: "Wait a minute."
