The King's Concubine_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(35)

He squinted his eyes this way and saw Yao Niang standing in the corner and about to leave.

In fact, King Jin's eyes were also looking at this, but it was not so obvious.

"Since Nurse Su is fine, let's help serve the meal."

Yao Niang looked up at Fucheng with a stunned expression.

Then he looked at King Jin who was sitting at the table. King Jin looked indifferent and showed no objection. Since she didn't say anything, she agreed, but with so many girls in the house, why was it her turn to be served by a wet nurse?

"Nanny Su is the first among these people," Fucheng said with a smile.

Therefore, the master's speech to the shameless slave in front of him was different. Fucheng seemed not to mention anything about what happened in the morning, but he was all saying that Yao Niang had received the reward from the King of Jin, so she should work hard. This dedication is to serve the King of Jin with all his heart, and the first thing is to serve the food.

Yu Yan and the other girls did not dare to say anything, and Yao Niang stood there quite at a loss. But in this situation, she certainly couldn't refuse, so she could only come to the table.

Lu'e brought a basin and asked Yao Niang to clean her hands. She looked at her with slightly worried eyes.

This job of serving food seems simple, but in fact not everyone can do it. You need to know the master's preferences and know how to wink. The master originally wanted to eat this dish, but you brought that dish instead, which is not an obvious way to cause trouble. Moreover, the master will not give you any instructions on what to do. He will ask others to guide you in everything. What else do you want a slave like you to do?

Moreover, the King of Jin was notoriously difficult to serve.

What makes King Jin difficult to serve is his cold face. Once he doesn't get what he wants, his icy air can freeze people to death. Of course, Lu'e and others heard all this, and with their status, they couldn't serve in front of King Jin.

Several green girls looked at Yao Niang with worried eyes, thinking that His Highness's reward was not something that could be accepted casually. Appreciation also contained infinite dangers, and a bad outcome would be to be rejected.

On the other hand, Yuyan and Yuyan were as calm as ever, with no emotion or anger on their faces.

Yao Niang wiped her hands with a handkerchief, first rolled up her sleeves, and then took the long-handled silver chopsticks held by her green waist.

In fact, Yao Niang was familiar with serving the King of Jin. She had served him many times in her previous life, and she knew how difficult it was to serve this master. The key point is that this person has a bad temper, and will be cold-faced whenever he doesn't agree with her. In her previous life, Yao Niang was often disliked by the King of Jin because of this.

Although he didn't say anything in his mouth, it was written in his eyes: You can't even serve a meal, what else can you do?

At that time, in order to avenge her shame and to please King Jin, Yao Niang had learned it carefully. Although she didn't know much about other aspects of King Jin, she was very clear about some of his little habits in life.

The dishes on the table are very rich, with eight dishes and one soup, each dish is delicious and delicious.

Just by smelling the smell, Lady Yao knew it was a dish from the small kitchen of Chaohui Hall.

She was not a greedy person, but after eating King Jin's leftovers several times, she realized what delicacy was in the world. It was something that could even be swallowed by one's own tongue. In her previous life, Yao Niang was just a small concubine. She said she was a doting concubine, but in fact she still lived in a big kitchen. Although the food in the big kitchen was not bad, she always felt that something was missing.

As for what it was, Yao Niang couldn't tell. Anyway, she knew that King Jin's meal was delicious.

The dish is a soup with five meat and three vegetarian dishes. The meat dishes include stir-fried tripe, fried mushroom slices, fish balls in clear soup, Kung Pao hare, and simmered deer tendon in a casserole. The vegetarian dishes include braised whip bamboo shoots, fresh mushrooms and cabbage, and stir-fried wild rice. , and a three-fresh soup.

Maybe she was really hungry, Yao Niang was salivating and her heart was burning.

However, she had not forgotten the errand she had to do. Seeing King Jin holding up the silver chopsticks, she pressed her sleeves with one hand, picked up a few pieces of stir-fried wild rice for King Jin with the other hand, and placed them on the porcelain plate in front of him.

Maybe he was too familiar with this scene, or maybe he was really hungry. Yao Niang forgot for a moment that she was just from a small family, and she had never served anyone since she entered the palace. Logically speaking, she should not know how to serve others.

Her movements are methodical, flowing and very graceful. The slender jade fingers were slightly raised, and every move contained a kind of demure calmness, as beautiful as a painting. It's even easy to ignore her dress at this time, but subconsciously feel that this girl is beautiful.

The most important thing is that her hands were steady and she didn't hesitate. She seemed to be sure that Prince Jin would like to eat the food she picked up.

King Jin really likes to eat.

Unlike other people who were born in the military, the King of Jin liked vegetarian food but not meat. He also eats non-vegetarian food, but vegetarian food is more popular with him. Of course, some people will definitely ask why they serve so many meat dishes even though they obviously like vegetarian food. This question is a bit profound. Anyway, Yao Niang has served King Jin for a long time, and she knows that there are many strange rules around him.

Just like these dishes, Prince Jin didn't eat much, maybe only a few chopsticks of each dish. His preferences were very varied, but just remember one thing and follow his eyes.

Here one holds it and the other eats it, they work very well together.

The people over there, headed by Fu Cheng, were all kinds of surprised and surprised, so I won’t list them one by one.

The room was very quiet, like a deserted place.

Anyway, Yao Niang has served the King of Jin more than once or twice, and she admires him very much for how he never makes any sound when using the bowls and chopsticks, not even the sound of chewing.

The dishes Yao Niang picked up were gone in the blink of an eye, and then disappeared again in the blink of an eye. People didn’t know why they were gone.

Suddenly, there was a sudden abdominal rumble, which seemed very loud because the room was quiet.

Yao Niang's face turned red and she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. She thought that King Jin was probably going to reprimand her for being disrespectful, but he didn't say anything at all, as if he didn't hear her.

King Jin took a few more bites and put down the silver chopsticks.

"I'll reward you with the rest of the dishes."

King Jin didn't mention her by name, but everyone's eyes turned over in an instant. Yaoniang didn't think about anyone else except herself.

She looked at the barely touched dishes on the table and wondered, does Prince Jin have a bad appetite today?

King Jin did not stay long and left after lunch.

It seemed that he came just for lunch.

Yao Niang got a table of dishes. Because of the unusual dishes, she was able to go back to her room to eat. Someone respectfully helped her carry the leftovers back to her room and put them on the table.

Sometimes Yao Niang doesn't understand this kind of rules, but it's just the leftover food eaten by King Jin, so why is it so special? It's obviously a dish.

Yao Niang didn't understand this truth in her previous life, and she was probably incompetent in this life. Anyway, she didn't eat King Jin's leftovers once or twice, so Yao Niang adapted well. Even because these dishes were so delicious that she wanted to swallow her tongue, she ate an extra bowl of rice than before until her belly was full.

But the food was still not finished, there was a lot left.

How about reheating it and eating it at night?

Yaoniang thought this silently, and her idea was seconded by a little girl named Axia.

Axia is fourteen this year. She is cute and smart. Not long after she joined the house as an errand, she worked as a handyman in the small kitchen.

She likes to come and talk to Yao Niang very much. Although Yao Niang is not much older than her, but maybe because of her different experiences, she feels like she has changed a lot. And A-Xia's innocence is undoubtedly a bright sight in the back house of the prince's palace. People can't help but smile when they see it, so Yao Niang also likes to talk to her.

This time, it was Axia who volunteered to help Yao Niang clear away the dishes. While she was clearing the table, she chirped: "I'll help Nanny Su keep these dishes in the ice. They won't go bad at night. I'll heat them up and put some vegetarian food in them, and I can still have a meal."

Yao Niang nodded: "I'll trouble you then."

"What's the trouble? This is what I should do."

A-Xia is very talented at cooking on the stove. Not long after she came to the kitchen, she got the favor of Mrs. Mo, who would give her some pointers from time to time. Now the little girl can make simple meals in a decent manner. Judging from the current situation, it is just around the corner for Mrs. Mo to accept her as her apprentice.

"Nanny Su, you don't know that everyone is envious of you. They say you are very capable and your highness rewards you one after another."

Yao Niang smiled horribly: "It's not that exaggerated. It just happened to serve His Highness, so His Highness just rewarded me."

"Anyway, Nurse Su is a lucky person at first glance. Tell me, are you afraid of His Highness? Why every time I see him from a distance, I feel that His Highness is too scared to look directly at people."

Yao Niang hesitated: "Actually, His Highness is a very good person, with clear rewards and punishments, and caring for his servants." She didn't know how to describe it, so she could only choose two words that were relatively easy to understand.

"I really envy Nanny Su. You don't know how much they talk about it today. But there are two women in the kitchen who are really annoying. They always say sour things and say they want to work with others to make Nanny Su... Hemorrhaging." Axia wrinkled her nose with disgust on her face.

Yao Niang is not surprised by this. In fact, these people are not bad people. They just get jealous when they see others, and they try to gain a psychological balance by making people lose money. Yao Niang planned to treat everyone to a drink this time, but she didn't think it was a big deal.

Just thinking about what King Jin had rewarded her with, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

After A-Xia left, Yao Niang went to the cabinet and took out a small cloth bag.

In the small cloth bag were her month's wages, the jewelry and silver that Concubine Hu had given her last time, and the things that King Jin had given her today.

If it were exchanged for equivalent silver, it would be a few hundred taels. But the problem is that the things in Prince Jin's Mansion have emblems printed on them, so you can only bring them yourself, and there is no thought of selling them.

Yao Niang suddenly felt resentful in her heart.

This kind of resentment is not only this time, but also the resentment from the previous life.

It was the same in her previous life. The King of Jin rewarded her with all kinds of flashy things. They are all beautiful and valuable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that some are worth a fortune. Unfortunately, these must be registered, and one piece is missing.
