Chapter 258

Princess Ming hurriedly said, "You have only been here for so little time, and you are leaving? I am bored in bed all day long. I can't do anything, and my bones are almost lying down. Finally, you are here, at least chat with me for a while, why are you leaving without saying a few words? I don't agree. You have to have lunch here before leaving."

Mu Yun comforted helplessly: "You are not in confinement, you can't be too troublesome. Am I afraid of disturbing your rest?"

Princess Ming waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. I just lie down in the house during the day and don't dare to sleep too much, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night. I have something to worry about here."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun hurriedly said, "If you have something to do, just say it. Anything I can do will definitely not shirk it."

Princess Ming said, "You also know that when I was in my parents' home, I had a bad relationship with my stepmother. My father and grandfather never cared about girls. Even if I knew that I had suffered a lot of grievances, they never asked me about it. They even pulled me back on this matter. When I was in my parents' home, I was fortunate that my third aunt was a kind-hearted person. She often spoke good things for me in front of my grandmother and took good care of me in private. Therefore, I had the opportunity to go to school and show with other girls in my family. My third aunt only has a legitimate son, who is eighteen years old this year, and is about to get married. I just didn't expect that my third aunt has been ill since last year. Now she is holding her breath and just wants to find a sweet wife for my cousin. Otherwise, as soon as my third aunt left, with the viciousness of my mother's people, I don't know what kind of dilapidated house would be for my cousin!"

Mu Yun was a little puzzled: "Your cousin is the legitimate grandson of the third-rank censor. As long as you don't have a big name, are you afraid that you won't be able to say a good marriage?"

Princess Ming slapped her head: "I've been stupid for three years after pregnancy. Look at me, I didn't explain it to you. My third uncle is a illegitimate child, but his mother is my grandmother's maid, and my third aunt is the grandmother's niece of my grandmother's family. Therefore, my third aunt can speak in front of my grandmother. But her relationship with my third uncle is not very harmonious. My third aunt is now old and can't control anything. My third aunt was afraid that her son's future would be destroyed after she left, so she begged me. Originally, I planned to look for it carefully after the confinement period, but my third aunt's personal nanny came over to tell me that my third aunt's illness would not last for two months, and it was really too late."

Mu Yun frowned and said, "But even if there are suitable girls here, you can't get married immediately. This is still in Guoxiao."

Princess Ming said, "I asked the ritual officials in the mansion. My third uncle has no official position and title. As long as he only keeps filial piety for a hundred days like the common people, he doesn't have to hold a marriage at this moment. As long as he has made the big decision, even if the marriage is finalized, my third aunt will be relieved."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun thought of someone, and she said nervously: "I happen to have a girl of the right age here, but I don't know the specific situation of your cousin."

Afraid of causing misunderstandings from Princess Ming, Mu Yun hurriedly said: "The woman's family background is average. Your cousin is the grandchild of a third-rank official. I'm afraid that you will dislike the girl's origin."

Princess Ming sneered and said, "I'll just tell you. As long as the girl has a good character and is independent, my third aunt is willing to do it no matter how inferior her family background is. If the other party is really a noble girl, marriage will definitely be difficult. The lower the family background, the fewer people I block at my mother's house, the easier it will be."

After hearing this, Mu Yun knew how chaotic Princess Ming’s family should be. He sighed: “When I read those time travel novels before, I always felt that the author deliberately exaggerated some things. They were all family members. How could the fight be so fierce? After so many years, I have seen it many times before I knew that the facts are always a hundred times more cruel than those in the novel.”

Princess Ming nodded and responded: "That was the case with fewer similar incidents at that time? No matter when, the word "profit" would harm people a lot!"

As he said that, Princess Ming cheered up and asked, "By the way, whose girl you just mentioned is from? What is her personality?"

Mu Yun smiled and said, "It is the eldest daughter of the second wife of the Princess Yongchang's husband's family. This year, she is also eighteen. That girl has a good look and a personality. If someone asks me, I will naturally say gentleness and generous. But you are not an outsider, and I won't hide it from you. Let's say that the girl looks soft and weak, but she has an idea in her bones and is good at scheming. Otherwise, she can't grow up so steadily under such a mean stepmother, and she is quite knowledgeable and has a moderate approach to advance and retreat. I think of the second wife of the Gao family, and she is the most outstanding, and even the legitimate daughter is not as good as her."

She took a sip of tea and continued, "You know that Princess Yongchang is a personal genius, but she looks very close to her. Otherwise, with Princess Yongchang's temperament, she would not bother to arrange a marriage for her. I looked coldly. She was quite clever and thoughtful, but fortunately, she was not bad in nature, and what she did was just to improve her situation, and there was no harm to the law. I thought it was quite difficult for her to lose her mother at a young age. I took the opportunity to give her some pieces of material and two jewelry a few years ago. She made a pair of purses to thank me. It was embroidered by her own hands, but I asked me to say that her female red is just like that, but the difficulty is that she knew her gratitude. Or even if Princess Yongchang said too much, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to these little things."

Upon hearing this, Princess Ming smiled and said, "It's so great. I'm not afraid that she is scheming. It's just that she is weak on the surface and powerful on the inside. I'm still afraid to tell my cousin a powerful paper tiger, how can I fight against that bunch of ruthless 'relatives'? This girl sounds good, and she's from the Gao family. Hehe, if the Gao family can fight with the group of people in my parents' family, that would be wonderful..." Princess Ming laughed just by thinking this way.

"Uh..." Mu Yun saw her smiling and said helplessly: "It seems that you are very satisfied. Well, wait until I go back and ask Princess Yongchang."

Princess Ming nodded, rubbing her stomach with aching pain, "Then it's a blessing. But there's no need to force it too much. Marriage is for the sake of two surnames. You don't have to hide the broken things in my mother's family. Just tell the truth. If Princess Yongchang doesn't want to, just let it go. I'll make plans. Otherwise, it will be a disaster. Although I want to see a joke from my mother's family, I didn't want to find a mess for my cousin."

Mu Yun smiled and nodded, and the two of them said some gossips. After a while, the maid brought the chicken soup. Princess Ming forced a few sips and waved her hand to refuse to drink. The maid advised, "My lady didn't eat much in the morning, so drink a few more sips." Princess Ming shook her head and said, "Pret Liu in the kitchen is good, but the other ones are just so they can't drink it."

Mu Yun, who was beside him, saw the clear and clear appearance of the chicken soup and smiled and said, "I know that I have to worry about the color of the soup. There is no trace of oil and fishyness. The person who made the soup still has no thoughts. I think you must be disgusting the taste of this chicken soup is too light, right?"

Princess Ming nodded and said, "Isn't it? They all said that they shouldn't eat too much salt during the confinement period. Whether it's chicken soup or fish soup, they made no taste at all, and I was almost fading out. But the cook who used to make soup in the kitchen in my yard was unfortunately seriously ill and couldn't get up. It was difficult to find a new cook at this time, so I asked the one who made snacks to deal with it first, but it was not the time to ignite the fire."

Mu Yun advised: "No matter how superb the cooking skills are, you won't dare to add too many seasonings to stew soup. It's normal to have a lighter taste. Just be patient for the sake of others, just for you, and you still have to feed the prince. Are you picky here, and the children are also lacking nutrition?"

After all, this was about Princess Ming's heart. It was nothing to eat less herself, but she couldn't bear to let the child suffer, so she stopped Mu Yun's persuasion and drank half a bowl of chicken soup and ate a few bites of chicken.

Seeing that the princess finally ate more food, the maids were very happy. Luo Xi smiled and said, "It's still Mrs. Wen's words are effective. The servants can't persuade the empress even if they get tired of their mouths. Mrs. Wen can come here often in the future."

Although it was not stated clearly, Mu Yun saw that the Princess Ming would rather eat a few bites than find another cook from outside. And even if the cook in the kitchen was not good, wouldn’t there be a big kitchen? A royal palace, can’t even find a cook who can make confinement meals? Moreover, the original cook was really sick. He didn’t get sick early or late, but he just got sick when the Princess Ming was in confinement? Someone must have taken advantage of the Princess Ming to make a fuss when he was in confinement.

Mu Yun thought about it secretly in his heart, and after thinking it through, she smiled and said, "If your empress really doesn't like drinking soup, then let the kitchen make some nearby ones, such as millet porridge, fish fillet porridge, sugar water and eggs, etc."

Mu Yun thought that Princess Ming had said before that she was from Yantai, and the Shandong cuisine in her memory was made of thick oil and red sauce. So Mu Yun said again: "I will write a few recipes for you later, all of which are suitable for people who are in confinement. You can take turns to make it for your concubine to eat."

In fact, sometimes Mu Yun also feels that his fellow countryman is very pitiful. His mother is not close to him. The birth mother of Ming Wang died early, so he has no elder to take care of during his confinement. Even if there are a few old nannies, they are servants and it is difficult to be caring.

Luo Xi went to get the paper and pen in person. Mu Yun picked up the pen and wrote three pieces of paper to finish it. In the end, Mu Yun's arms were sore that they were tired.

Luo Xi picked up the paper, gently blew the ink on his head, and held it in front of the Princess Ming. When the Princess Ming saw that there were recipes on it, such as peanut pig's trotter soup, corn stewed pork ribs, tofu crucian carp soup, ginger candy stewed hens, etc., there were more than twenty dishes, and the recipes were clearly written. Just looking at the recipe, the Princess Ming felt that his saliva was about to flow down.

She handed the prescription to Luo Xi and ordered: "Find a literate maid and teach Liu Pozi exactly the same dishes so that she can learn a little. They are all made chicken soup. Look, there are five or six ways to make chicken soup. If she rotates this way, I won't be fucked."

Luo Xi covered her mouth and smiled, and agreed to go and give instructions to Mrs. Liu.

The Liu Mazi was also a thoughtful person. At noon, she made a dish of lotus root, oatmeal porridge, crucian carp and tofu soup according to the recipe, as well as steamed eggs and braised pork hands according to the recipe.

When these dishes were served, Princess Ming was so excited that she was filled with her face. She finally had a meaty meal! No matter how delicious the chicken soup was, she couldn't hold on to the same chicken soup that she drank every day for more than half a month. Today, she finally changed her style. It was so southern!!!
