Seeing her erxifu’s mood had become somewhat downcast, Jing guifei remembered that her erxi’s birth mother was deceased. For some reason, she felt that the other was quite pitiful and patted the back of her hand: “Just recently, ben gong’s kitchen created a new type of pastry. Ben gong has found it quite delicious. You should have a taste too.” She ordered a servant to get some pastries from the kitchen..
Qu Qing Ju looked up at Jing guifei. She smiled and said: “Thanks mufei.”
Jing guifei looked at her sparkling eyes and smiled. She said: “For such a minor thing, there’s no need for thanks. You’ve brought so many things into the palace today. It’s fine if mufei gives you a plate of pastries in exchange.”
“The food at mufei’s palace is so delicious. If it weren’t for gossipmongers, erxi would be coming here to eat everyday.” Qu Qing Ju wrinkled her brow, “The stuff made in the fu’s kitchen doesn’t compare to what mufei has here.”
The corners of Jing guifei’s mouth trembled. You are scorning the wang fu in front of your popo. Did you even think of how ben gong would feel? Even if you were trying to purposefully flatter me. But seeing that honest gaze made Jing guifei believe that this erxifu of hers really disliked the wang fu’s kitchen.
“That’s fine, ben gong will let someone copy the dishes and pastries you like and deliver it to the fu.” Jing guifei smiled as she reassured her. She didn’t want the others to assume that the chefs in Duan Wang Fu were useless.
Such a stupid erxifu, she definitely was not feeling sorry for her!
