A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!

The day of the banquet has finally arrived, and many people are ready to take advantage of it.

Early in the morning, Concubine Qing came to the imperial kitchen to inspect the work. "How is it? Have you arranged everything? Today is the official day. Please don't make any mistakes."

When the palace servants in the imperial kitchen saw Concubine Qing coming, they all put down their work, looked up and said, "Don't worry, Concubine Qing, we will be fully alert! If you work hard, there will be no mistakes!"

Concubine Qing smiled and said, "Okay, I trust you very much. I hope you will not let me down!"

The palace maids said in unison, "Yes! Don't worry, Your Majesty!"

Everyone was united and determined. Concubine Qing was very pleased and said, "Okay, let's go and do our own things!"

After Concubine Qing said this, people began to work in an orderly manner. Some picked vegetables, some cut vegetables, some kneaded dough...

At this time, the head of the imperial kitchen came over from a distance and said, "Oh, the queen is here! I was in the kitchen just now and didn't know that the queen was coming. I am really sorry for not welcoming you from afar, I am really sorry for not welcoming you from afar!"

Concubine Qing chuckled and said, "It's okay. I understand that the general manager is busy."

The manager said, "Since the queen is here, I will take her around to see how everything is prepared."

Concubine Qing said, "Okay, let the steward lead the way!"

Then they walked and turned, leaving people's sight.

In a deserted place, the chief steward reported to Concubine Qing in a low voice, "Your Majesty is very good at predicting things. Yesterday, Bicui from Fenghua Palace came here for a look around. According to the guards, someone really sneaked into the imperial kitchen at night."

Concubine Qing asked, "Well, have you let the person in?"

The chief said, "Don't worry, Madam. The guard pretended to be asleep and let the man sneak in successfully. This morning, when I woke up and took a look, I found that the soup had indeed been tampered with."

"But don't worry, madam. The soup was put there as bait. The real soup has already been kept in secret."

Concubine Qing nodded and said, "Well, I am very confident in your ability to handle the matter. However, if the Queen sees that the Queen Mother drank the soup without any problems, she will definitely look for trouble with the Imperial Kitchen."

The butler frowned slightly. "Ah, this..."

Concubine Qing thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Before serving the soup, have someone add something slightly bitter or sweet on the surface, whether it's medicinal herbs or food ingredients. Just a little bit will do."

The steward didn't know what Concubine Qing was up to and was worried that this might go wrong. "Your Majesty, is this possible?"

Concubine Qing explained, "I specifically asked you to put it in before serving it, just to ensure that the bitterness on the surface does not seep in. Once the soup is served, I will immediately beg the Queen Mother to taste it. In this way, the Queen Mother will taste bitter at first, and she will definitely be in a bad mood."

"And the lower it goes, the sweeter it tastes, with an endless aftertaste. This way, the Queen Mother will not be harmed, and the Queen's deception will not be concealed, and the Imperial Kitchen will not be implicated."

After hearing Concubine Qing's thoughts, the chief steward was instantly impressed and said with admiration, "Your Majesty is extremely intelligent and knows the greater good. I admire you!"

"The Queen was dissatisfied with the Empress's secret murder and wanted to frame the Empress, but the Empress did not point it out, thus maintaining the Queen's reputation and protecting the Queen Mother."

Concubine Qing said calmly, "Even if the Queen has her own private thoughts and is dissatisfied with me, I would have turned a blind eye to other matters. However, the Queen actually poisoned the Queen Mother in order to frame me. I cannot ignore the Queen Mother's safety."

The butler said, "Yes, I understand. I have seen how your Majesty has behaved these days. If it weren't for your help, I would have been pushed down by someone else and would have lived out my old age."

Concubine Qing smiled and said, "The chief steward is smart and capable. Only the chief steward can be qualified for this position. Well, there is nothing else to do. I will go and see how the rehearsal of the song and dance banquet is going."

The butler leaned forward and said, "Yes, Madam, please take care. If there is any disturbance, I will send someone to report to you immediately."

Concubine Qing said, "Okay."

Yufangzhai

Haitang was combing Song Qingwan's hair and makeup, and said, "After the Fifth Prince's Hundred Days Banquet, the young lady's family can come to the palace to visit."

Song Qingwan said, "Yes, I have waited for this moment for too long. I don't know how my aunt is doing now."

Haitang comforted her, "Don't worry, young lady. Ever since the news of your pregnancy spread back to the mansion, the master has been extremely happy and is counting on you. He will definitely not treat you badly."

Song Qingwan snorted coldly, "You are right. The old man is used to following the wind."

"Okay, my lady, don't think about it. Just look at the makeup and hair I did for you today. Does it look good?" Haitang looked at the indifference on Song Qingwan's face after she mentioned Song Zhicheng, and quickly diverted Song Qingwan's attention.

Song Qingwan looked at herself in the bronze mirror. She had a pair of willow-shaped eyebrows, innocent almond eyes, a delicate and small nose, and cherry-like red lips.

She looked 70% similar to the aunt, both were beautiful women, so Song Zhicheng fell in love with the aunt at first sight and took her as his concubine!

"Young Master, Young Master?" Haitang looked at Song Qingwan staring at the bronze mirror and called out twice in a hurry.

"Oh, it's okay, it looks very beautiful. Haitang, you have such a dexterous hands!" Song Qingwan said after she came back to her senses.

After Haitang received Song Qingwan's praise, she said embarrassedly, "Hehe, I am a clumsy servant, I hope you don't mind me, young lady!"

"Look at what you said. If you are clumsy, there are few people who are dexterous. The makeup and hair you do are exquisite and beautiful, and the pastries you make are delicious!" Song Qingwan said with a smile.

"Oh, my lady, please stop praising me!" Haitang said, scratching her head.

Song Qingwan had just finished dressing up when Doctor Chen arrived early to check Song Qingwan's pulse.

Passing by the courtyard of Yufangzhai, Doctor Chen saw Yingcan squatting on the ground, not knowing what he was busy with, and asked casually, "What are you doing?"

Yingcan thought someone was calling him, but turned around and found it was Doctor Chen. "I'm watching the young lady planting winter plums! I didn't realize you've grown so tall. Why did you come so early today?"

Doctor Chen replied, "It's because today is the Fifth Prince's 100th day banquet. I checked Noble Lady Yu's pulse early so that she wouldn't be late for the banquet."

Yingcan stood up, patted Doctor Chen on the shoulder and said, "Boy, you are thoughtful today. Come in quickly. The young lady is inside!"

"Hey, who are you calling kid..." Before Doctor Chen could finish his words, Haitang had already opened the door and came out to greet him.

"Doctor Chen is here, please come in!" Haitang said

"Oh, okay, okay!" Doctor Chen didn't bother to argue with Yingcan and hurriedly followed Haitang in.

When Song Qingwan saw Doctor Chen coming, she also stood up. For some reason, she felt flustered today. She accidentally knocked the bracelet on her hand against the table and broke it on the ground...
