[Qing Chuan] No pet little promise

Wei Rong was sick, and even worse than last time.

Concubine Xi invited the imperial physician twice, and also rewarded her with some supplements and snacks, but unfortunately, there was no improvement.

Nanny Zhou came to visit this day, and seeing Wei Rong's sallow face and lack of energy, she couldn't help sighing secretly.With such an appearance, how could it be possible to serve the emperor?

Nanny Zhou was not suspicious either.Wei Rong's physical condition was originally poor, and she recovered after being ill for a few months.It's normal to be sick for a few months now.

After exhorting a few words to take good care of his illness, he turned and left.

Wei Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and stayed up late at night before letting Yufu fetch water and remove the makeup on his face.

Her illness has almost recovered a long time ago, and she has even started to exercise in the past few days. Of course, she is pretending to be sick.

These days, she wakes up early in the morning and quietly puts on makeup, even Yufu hides it.Anyway, I remove makeup at night, and the candlelight is dim, so I can't see anything.

She didn't go out, but news from outside kept coming in.

Noble Li Jia won the favor again, not only the only one in the Changchun Palace, but also the unparalleled limelight in the entire harem.Secondly, Shi promised on Concubine Hui's side that the two of them could be regarded as equally sharing the vacancy left by Wang Guiren's pregnancy and inability to be favored.

The most rare thing is that these two newly promoted concubines get along very well and have an excellent friendship.

"I heard that Concubine Hui appreciates Li Jia very much. Last time, she was invited to a banquet at the Palace of Yanxi Palace. She was rewarded with a necklace of South Sea pearls, which is very valuable." Yufu waited on Wei Rong to eat Medicine, and also talk about the news outside.

Concubine Hui's side has already promised this capable person, but she is still trying to win over Li Jiagui.Wei Rong guessed that it should be because of the recent changes in the palace.

Concubine Wen Xi is dying of illness, and it seems that she will not recover. Now the four concubines are in charge of palace affairs, but it is impossible to be like this for a long time.There was a secret discussion in the palace that after the death of Concubine Wen Xi, the emperor would choose one of the four concubines to be in charge of palace affairs.

Concubine Hui has the oldest qualifications, and has a big brother, plus Nala's background, she must be moved.

However, these harem battles are still too far away from Wei Rong, and now she is just a small promise to rest assured and recuperate.

The days of pretending to be sick are quite leisurely, except for one thing, eating!

Having said that, Wei Rong couldn't help but complain about the evil Qing court rules,

He actually likes to use hunger to cure diseases!If you are sick or angry, just eat a hungry meal to clear your stomach.

There is nothing that can't be solved by starving, or starving twice.

Since she fell ill, the three meals a day in the small kitchen have been replaced by rice porridge and noodle soup, and none of the hard-to-digest dishes that are rich in sugar, oil and meat have disappeared.

After eating for two days, Wei Rong felt nauseous when she saw the clear soup and white noodles, which further proved her serious condition.

In private, Wei Rong was full of complaints.

A quack doctor suggested this method, and she immediately came to the door and beat him to death.

Originally, when a person is sick, the immune system is low, and sufficient nutrition is not provided. Does this make people live?

Her illness was not caused by eating enough.Fortunately, this trip was a feigned illness rather than a real illness, and there was a secret granary to support it.Otherwise, Wei Rong suspects that sooner or later her minor illness will be dragged into a serious illness.

But in this era, even princes and concubines use this kind of therapy.She protested and couldn't find a place to go.

Nested in the room, the snacks are naturally consumed faster than before.

In the middle of the night, Wei Rong embarked on the road of "crime" again.

Coming out of the east side hall, he walked into the small kitchen with ease.

As a frequent offender, Wei Rong has already figured out the law of dim sum in the small kitchen.

On the northernmost table, there are three rows of more than forty dishes belonged to Xi Concubine.

To the east is Mrs. Li Jiagui's. The usual [-] plates have become [-] plates, and the quality of dim sum has improved by more than one grade.

Sure enough, it is different when people are favored.

On the big table to the west is what the four of them promised, each with four plates, all of which are clichés such as white jade cake and rose cake.But Dou Changzai's is worse than them, it is said to be six plates, which are full of red bean cakes and mung bean cakes, which are no different from those given to Yufu and the others.

Wei Rong has no doubt that in another year or so, they will not be favored, and the pastry will become such a fool.

She opened the small package and started to work.

She felt no moral guilt in stealing the food.

In addition to the fixed quota for ladies, the small kitchens in each palace also have an additional subsidy.Logic is available to all masters.But in fact, all the subsidies went into the mouths of the empress dowager and the favored concubines.The fact that Wei Rong stole it can only be regarded as getting back his subsidy.

He spread out the oiled paper cloth he had brought on the table, and was picking and filling it, when he suddenly heard a sound behind him.

Wei Rong was taken aback, quickly picked up the tarpaulin and stuffed it into her arms, then hid in a corner.

The door creaked open.

There were two young eunuchs who came in, one of them looked familiar, he seemed to be in charge of running errands for the maids to deliver food and charcoal fire, his name was Xiao Wuzi.

He was looking bitter, "Good brother, how can I inquire about this? Don't annoy the masters."

"It's just a few small promises, what a serious master. Besides, I'm not asking you to steal something, but just asking if it's there." Standing opposite him was a tall eunuch.He closed the door and spoke in a low voice.

"You usually deliver meals and vegetables, and you get along well with Chuntao and Yufu, and they are sweet and flattering, but you still can't figure it out? If you figure it out, your benefits will naturally be indispensable."

"But I'm a slave asking about the master's jewelry, what's the matter?"

"You're stupid, didn't you recognize Nanny Li who was sweeping behind you as your godmother last year? You said you saved up some money and wanted to wear a silver ring to honor your godmother..."

The word "ring" fell into his ears, and Wei Rong shivered.

There was a gap in the oiled paper bag in his arms, and a few golden scallops fell out and fell to the ground.

The two young ladies listened to the subtle movement, froze, and turned their heads to look. The room was empty, except for the snacks on the table.

With sharp eyes, Xiao Wuzi stared at the scallops on the ground, "Hey, Mrs. Li Jia's dim sum is so full that it all fell out."

He stepped forward and bent down to pick it up, but his waist straightened halfway, and he suddenly froze.

The plate of golden scallops was placed at the end of the east, but the pieces on the ground were in the northwest corner. Unless the scallops had legs, how could they have traveled so far?

He suddenly felt a chill down his back, and the tall eunuch next to him also noticed something was wrong.

The room was silent, and the quieter it was, the clearer the sound.

Wei Rong kept her body stiff and still, but she had to breathe!

The two little eunuchs became more and more strange as they listened. They looked at each other and rushed towards the door.

Seeing that the two of them disappeared after fighting each other, Wei Rong didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly squeezed out through the crack of the door.

Walking on the road, her thoughts were in a mess. Today is a terrible day!

The appearance of the small kitchen has aroused the suspicion of the little eunuch.

What's worse is the news they revealed, the matter of the ring must be aimed at themselves.

She was so naive, and she thought that in two days, Xiao Lizi would take a few taels of silver to the workshop and come back quietly.Fortunately, he hasn't acted yet, otherwise it would be hitting the muzzle of a gun!

If the other party was able to find Changchun Palace, he must have checked in the workshop.

Who is that boy?The concubine of an ordinary clan family would never dare to investigate matters in the palace at will.Maybe his status is higher than what I imagined...
