Chapter 1458 It’s All because I’m Careless
The maid thought for a while and said: "I heard that the Queen used to be a cook when she was in the East Palace and she was very good at cooking. Since then, His Highness the Crown Prince has never forgotten the Queen."
Jin Shan's heart moved slightly: "Could it be said that the emperor likes women who are good at cooking?"
"That's hard to say. Otherwise, what could be the reason?" the maid said, "In terms of appearance, the Queen is naturally beautiful, but Master, you are not bad either. In terms of talent, you are a famous talented girl in Kyoto. The Queen can compose poems. You can also write articles. Who can play the piano and dance better than you in the palace? If you are inferior to the Queen in what way..."
"where?"
"It's just cooking skills." The maid affirmed, "The Queen is a superb cook, and she prepared and taught those sweet beans. Master, you don't have any cooking skills at all."
Jin Shan looked down at her well-maintained snow-white and smooth fingers and hesitated.
"When I was at my parents' house, my aunt wouldn't let me get involved in the kitchen. She said that my hands are used for writing and playing the piano, so I have to take good care of them. She also said that no man likes a woman whose whole body is smelly of oil smoke and whose hands are rough. .”
The maid couldn't help but say: "What my aunt said may have some truth to it. But it's not entirely true."
"How to say?"
"If this is true, why did the madam teach the eldest lady how to make soup? The eldest lady was born weak, so the madam asked her to learn some cooking skills."
"But my aunt said..."
"My master, we are no longer in the Jin family. If what my aunt said is right, why is it that she is just an aunt and my wife is the mistress of the house?" the maid advised, "You can't listen to my aunt in everything. "
Jin Shan was shocked after hearing this.
For so long, she has been listening to her aunt, thinking that whatever her beautiful and romantic aunt says and does is right.
But after hearing the words of the maid, she suddenly woke up.
The chess, calligraphy and painting she had done since elementary school were just a way to please men.
After all, Israel is serving people.
After all, the aunt can only be an aunt.
Jin Shan didn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, she gritted her teeth: "From now on, I won't read, play the piano or dance. Anyway... the emperor doesn't like it either."
"Little Master, do you have any ideas?"
"I want to learn cooking."
"This... the young master has a good heart, but after all, it is not convenient for us to cook by ourselves here." The maid was a little embarrassed.
These low-level concubines usually have three meals a day delivered from the imperial kitchen.
In this palace, only the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace and the Queen's Fengyi Palace have small kitchens.
The Queen Mother worshiped Buddha because she was a vegetarian. As for the empress, she has a different status and is raised by three young royal highnesses. She is also a skilled cook, and the emperor often goes there to have meals.
It is reasonable and necessary to have a small kitchen.
And here they are...
No one dares to set up a small kitchen privately.
Jin Shan thought for a while and said, "Whenever you have a problem, just find a solution. Change my clothes for me, I'm going to see the Queen."
She dressed up and went to Fengyi Palace.
Yun Dai was watching the two little princesses playing. When she heard that she was coming, she came to the front yard.
Jin Shan had returned to her usual elegance and lost her aggrieved look, and greeted Yun Dai with a smile.
"You were beaten just now. Why are you here again if you don't have a good rest?" Yun Dai waved her hand, "Sit down and talk."
Jin Shan raised her hand to comb her hair and said with a smile: "I have already reflected on my situation. It is all because of my carelessness, which upset the Queen and made the Emperor unhappy."
