==Chapter 41==
At noon, the small kitchen is the busiest time.
Because I have errands to do, I always change meals. Especially since the last time King Jin came to Xiaoquan Courtyard, there were no servants in the courtyard, and Yuyan and Yucui were even more strict with their servants.
Yao Niang came to the small kitchen to get her lunch.
The meals for the wet nurses are all cooked individually, because they have to feed the little princess, so the food is first-class. Not only are there delicacies from the mountains and seas, but also chicken, duck, fish and meat. There is nothing different every day, and snacks and fruits are indispensable in addition to three meals.
In addition to the three meat dishes and one vegetable dish, I also made a soup today, which is pig trotters stewed with soybeans and some green grass. This kind of soup is the most delicious, and every now and then a pot of it will be stewed in the small kitchen to feed the wet nurses.
There are some oil splashes floating on the milky white soup, among which are pieces of crispy stewed pig's trotters, and occasionally light yellow beans, which rise and fall with the fire. The soup was stewed before dawn in the morning, and was simmered slowly over low heat. When the lid was opened, a burst of aroma burst out, making people salivate.
"It's so delicious. Whatever delicious momma Mo made today, please give me some to try." The speaker was a little girl named Xiaoman. This girl had just grown her hair and was craving for food. I just want to take a bite of something delicious.
When I first entered Xiaoquayuan, I was still a slim figure, but now I am well-fed. According to the words of the women in the yard, they can be taken out and slaughtered during the Chinese New Year. Of course, these words were not a sign of silence, but a kind of helplessness that could not help laughing.
She is sweet-tongued and hard-working, so everyone loves her very much.
Seeing that Xiao Man was greedy again, Mrs. Mo laughed and slapped away the fat paw she extended: "Come over, this is for the nannies, you can't eat it."
Xiao Man swallowed his saliva and said with envy: "Nanny Su and the others have really good food. It would be great if one day I could eat their food every day."
On the side, Mrs. Wang was loading cooked vegetables into a big wooden basin. When she heard this, she smiled and joked: "It's not easy to eat, so hurry up and find a man to marry, and then I'll have a baby for you." , you can also be a nanny, this is a very profitable job."
Mr. Zhao scolded her: "You are really a loser. Xiaoman is still young. If you tell her this, you don't have to teach her a bad lesson." As she said this, she stuffed a handful of fennel beans to Xiaoman: "Here you go. Fill your mouth."
Xiaoman thanked him, smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes and ran away. Those of them who work as roughnecks usually get their turn at the end of the meal.
When Mrs. Mo saw Yao Niang walking in, she smiled and said to her, "Nanny Su, it's very early today."
Yao Niang nodded: "The little princess is asleep, so I will come first, and Miss Yuyan will come later."
The meals for the nannies had been prepared and plated long ago and were being set aside, leaving only the soup to serve. Mother Mo looked at Yao Niang hesitantly and asked, "Today we have stewed pig's trotters soup, will Nurse Su have a bowl?"
Yao Niang doesn’t like meat, especially this kind of meat soup. In order to take care of the little princess, she usually eats as much meat and vegetables as possible, but never drinks broth. However, Yao Niang's milk is good, so it doesn't matter whether she drinks it or not. Mrs. Mo also knows her nature, so she asks this question.
Unexpectedly, the sun came out in the west today, and Yao Niang nodded.
Mr. Mo was surprised, but it was never easy to talk about eating, because people's tastes change all the time. If I wasn't happy yesterday, I might be happy today, so there's nothing to be curious about.
Yao Niang returned to her room with the food box she carried.
Open the food box and take out the meals one by one. Although the dishes are not all delicious and delicious, they are quite large in quantity. Each dish has a small plate.
Yao ate the rice in small mouthfuls, using wooden chopsticks to put the meat on it.
If other people see this, they will probably be shocked again. Yao Niang has said before that she likes vegetarian food but not meat.
It could be seen that Yao Niang was a little reluctant to eat, but she still stuffed it into her mouth. Not only did she finish the bowl of rice, but she also ate half of the food.
This amount of food was really shocking, but Yao Niang was obviously in a state of holding her intestines and belly, but in the end she still endured the greasiness and drank the bowl of pig's trotter soup.
After eating, she even felt like the food was in her throat.
There is a reason why Yao Niang is like this. In recent days, she has found that her milk supply is getting less and less.
She didn't feel it at first, but as the little princess's appetite increased day by day, she began to feel tired.
Logically speaking, this situation should not happen to Yao Niang. She has been a mother in her two lifetimes and has had several breastfed babies, so she naturally knows how to keep her milk flowing. She would squeeze some out at a fixed time every day, no matter whether the little princess had eaten or not. In this case, as long as the nutrition is sufficient, the milk volume will be maintained.
But now, even though she expresses every day, her milk is getting less and less, and in the past few days, she doesn't even feel like her milk is filling up.
Yao Niang was very panicked. She was a wet nurse. How could she be a wet nurse without milk? Don't you even have to do errands? At first, she was a little angry at King Jin, thinking that it was all because of him that this situation happened.
However, she was timid and did not dare to speak out in front of King Jin. She could only push when she could, block when she could, and did not forget to observe secretly. Later, she found out that it seemed to have nothing to do with King Jin, and she was angry.
Why is my milk supply decreasing?
After thinking about it, Yao Niang realized that this must be related to the fact that she usually eats less meat, which is why she is in this situation today.
She was so full that Yao Niang did not dare to walk around. Instead, she rested in the room before taking the dishes to the kitchen. After that, I went to the small building and went to eat in Yuyan's place.
One day passed in a blink of an eye. When Nanny Qian and Nanny Wang came to take charge, Yao Niang went back to the house.
As she fetched water to prepare for a bath, she heard a commotion outside.
Yao Niang opened the door and looked outside. There was a lot of noise in the small building, mixed with the cry of the little princess. It seemed that something had happened.
She didn't have time to think too much, she hurriedly closed the door and went to the small building. When they entered the room, they saw Nanny Mu in shock and anger, Nanny Qian and Nanny Wang were mourning, Yu Cui was holding the crying little princess with an ugly face, but Yu Yan was gone.
The room was in a mess, and Lu'e and the others were running around anxiously.
"What's wrong with this?"
As soon as she saw Yao Niang coming, Nurse Qian pointed at her and said: "Mommy, Sister Wang and I have just arrived on duty and haven't had time to feed the little princess yet. Nurse Su must have been greedy and ate something secretly. It will hurt the little princess like this."
After hearing this, Yao Niang was simply stunned. She had no time to explain, so she hurried to Yu Cui's side.
In her arms, the little princess was covered with scary red rashes all over her head and face. The little princess had cried hoarsely, her face was red, and the rashes became more and more terrifying and swollen.
Hearing this, Mother Mu looked over with sharp eyes.
Yao Niang explained: "I didn't eat anything. I just ate the food in the small kitchen today."
Nanny Qian was very unreasonable and said very emphatically: "The little princess is in such a condition that she has a rash at first sight. This month's milk baby, except for the fact that the wet nurse has eaten something unclean and passed it to her, it is impossible There are other reasons. If you, Nurse Su, really stole the news, just tell the truth and don’t delay the little princess’s condition. No one will be able to save you by then.”
"Mommy, this slave really didn't steal anything."
In fact, Mother Mu was willing to believe Yao Niang subconsciously. This had nothing to do with anything else. She was probably aware of the relationship between King Jin and Yao Niang, which was a special kind of partiality. But it was precisely because of Yaoniang's private relationship with Prince Jin that Mother Mu became suspicious of her.
Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Hu was favored by King Jin. The jealousy of women was terrible. No one who came out of the palace knew more clearly than Aunt Mu.
A meek and virtuous woman can do all kinds of incredible things out of jealousy. The palace has always been indispensable for concubines who have had miscarriages, heirs who have died in infancy, and infant milk babies. It is a fact that it is easy to die in infancy, but there are too many premature deaths, and everyone knows that there is something not simple about it.
And this is not simple, it should happen to those women in the palace who are as beautiful as flowers but all have snake-like hearts.
Will Yao Niang be jealous of Concubine Hu and anger the little princess? Even if this matter was not caused by jealousy, don’t forget that Princess Jin brought her here. The princess and Concubine Hu are fighting fiercely these days. Did the princess order Yaoniang to destroy Concubine Hu’s greatest honor? ?
With just a spark of calcium carbide, all kinds of thoughts flashed through Nanny Mu's mind. Therefore, facing Yaoniang's explanation, she chose to remain silent.
Nanny Mu's attitude obviously also affected Yucui and even Lu'e and others. Their eyes flickered when they looked at Yaoniang, and the light in them seemed to be suspicion.
Yao Niang suddenly felt a little sad. Since arriving at Xiao Kua Yard, she has been sincere and hard-working, and the people in Xiao Kua Yard are also kind to her. Perhaps others may have some purpose in being friendly to her, but it is Yuyan and Lu'e who are the ones who treat her kindly. The intimacy is not mixed with any personal purpose.
They are all people who serve the little princess. Naturally, they all have one wish, which is to serve the little princess well. Because we have the same wish, we all feel a special sense of intimacy.
But now this intimacy has been destroyed because of an unfounded crime.
Why is it so fragile? Why don't you believe her?
At this moment, Yucui suddenly spoke, "Nanny Qian, if there is no shadow, don't talk nonsense. We all know the character of Nanny Su, she is not a liar."
Hearing this, Yao Niang suddenly seemed to gain strength.
She glanced at Yucui gratefully and said to Nanny Mu: "Mommy, Madam Yao has indeed not eaten anything except the food in the small kitchen today. I hope Nanny will learn from this."
"Who knows whether you have eaten or not?" Nurse Qian retorted.
Nanny Mu pondered for a moment and said: "I don't care about what is right or wrong for now. Whether it was Nanny Su that caused the young princess to become sick, your Highness will be able to decide later."
While talking, Yu Yan had already led Dr. Liu Liang in hastily.
Dr. Liu Liang is already in his sixties. He is thin and has a few strands of goatee. He was originally the imperial physician in the palace. When King Jin came to feudal lordship, he came to Jinzhou with King Jin. He served as a good doctor in the good doctor's office of the Prince of Jin's Palace. He was highly respected and had outstanding medical skills.
He followed Yu Yan inside and came to the little princess. First, he directed his servants to put the little princess on the bed, then took a silver needle from the medicine boy behind him, and slowly inserted it into a position on the little princess's neck. The little princess suddenly calmed down and fell into a drowsy sleep.
"This way of crying is not good. Let the little princess rest for a while." After saying that, he reached out to feel his pulse.
During this period, not only Concubine Hu arrived, but also King Jin and Princess Jin.
The three of them were all in a hurry, obviously they came in a hurry after receiving the news.
After Concubine Hu entered the house and saw the condition of the little princess, she started to cry. One mouthful of my poor daughter, and then scolded Yuyan and others for how they served.
Princess Jin frowned and said solemnly, "Concubine Hu, please pay attention to your manners. Dr. Liu Liang is treating the little princess. Can you shut your mouth first?"
In fact, if possible, Princess Jin would not come. She wished that Concubine Hu would be unlucky. The little princess was really dead, so she was happier than anyone else. It's a pity that as the mistress of the house, she can't help but show up in this situation.
After King Jin came in, he sat down on a chair nearby, with Fucheng standing behind her.
His handsome face was solemn, and his left hand occasionally turned the sapphire ring on the ring finger of his right hand. If you are familiar with his character, you will know how restless his mood is at this time.
Seeing what Princess Jin had said, Concubine Hu not only refused to listen, but even retorted. He immediately snorted, and the air in the room suddenly became cold, making people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
Suddenly no one dared to speak, wishing they could even hold back their breathing. The room was silent, as if there was no one around.
For a long time, Dr. Liu Liang breathed out slowly, breaking the silence.
"From the current point of view, the little princess developed a rash because she ate something inappropriate for her body constitution."
The author has something to say: This is the launch from the manuscript box. I have something to do. The red envelope I wanted to give out yesterday will be given out after I get home.
Hey, today is still fifty, and the front row is randomly divided into half and half.
