"Well, I'll ask someone to accompany you back to the Gu family to take a look." The queen said, "Then you can come back."

  Zhang Yingzi blinked, feeling mixed emotions, unable to tell whether she was surprised or sad.

  "Your Majesty, do you want me to come back?" Zhang Yingzi asked hesitantly.

  "Don't you want to come back and accompany me?" the Queen asked.

  Even Zhang Yingzi knew that she couldn't say she didn't want to at this time.

  "You have seen these days that I am very lonely here, with no one to accompany me all day long. Although I am too busy to take care of you, I know you are here with me. Even if I can't see you, knowing that my palace is lively with one more person." The queen said gently.

  When Zhang Yingzi thought about the days when she couldn't go anywhere, her scalp tingled. She said, "My queen, I will stay at Gu's house with my father for a few days and then come back."

  Well, since the queen can't do without her, it will save her face if she tells others about it.

  The Queen's smile faded. "How many days?"

  "Your Majesty?" It was the first time that Zhang Yingzi saw the Queen without smiling, and it was a little scary.

  "You are an outsider in the Gu family, how can you live comfortably? Aren't you living under someone else's roof?" The queen said, "It would be better for you to return to the palace as soon as possible. Besides, with you in the palace, the Gu family will not dare to neglect your father."

  "Well, I'll ask someone to take you to Gu's house later. You can talk to your father for a few words and then come back." said the queen.

  "Just... say a few words?" Can't even eat at Gu's house?   She missed the food outside the palace.

  She learned some rules in the palace, and heard from the palace servants that even the meals in the palace were regulated.

  A saint can eat several dishes in one meal, including a few vegetables, a few meat dishes, and a soup.

  There are rules about what kind of food you can eat in a meal with the Queen.

  The concubines ate worse according to their status.

  As a commoner with the lowest status in the palace except for the palace maids, she only had two dishes of vegetables and one dish of meat every day.

  Although it sounds good, it really doesn't taste good.

  The saint's meals are prepared by the imperial kitchen.

  But the affairs of the harem are under the charge of the Shangshi Bureau.

  Those people in the Imperial Food Bureau also prepare meals according to the portions of the concubines in the harem.

  The Queen's side is naturally the best and is delivered the earliest.

  Then came the four concubines in the palace and the other concubines under them.

  After all the meals for the concubines were delivered, it was finally her turn.

  When the meal was brought to her, it was already cold.

  There were spots of oil on the green vegetables, and they were icy cold without any warmth at all.

  The meat was even colder, so the fat on it solidified.

  It's not greasy, and it's not delicious.

  Those palace maids in the Imperial Food Bureau must have been perfunctory when preparing meals for her. It was definitely not the same when they prepared meals for other concubines.

  Zhang Yingzi felt sick after eating this, the food was not even as good as the food in the most shabby restaurant outside the palace.

  She was also looking forward to returning to the Gu family so that she could have a few good meals.

  Unexpectedly, the queen didn't even let her eat and asked her to come back.

  Is the Queen really that dependent on her?

  But Mingming, I haven't even seen her these days.

  The Queen did not allow for rejection and said, "It is decided."

  "Xu Changzhi, go and arrange for someone to send Miss Zhang to the Gu family." said the Queen.

  "Yes." Eunuch Xu turned around and said to Zhang Yingzi, "Miss Zhang, please follow me."

  Zhang Yingzi looked at the queen again. The queen had a cold and serious expression on her face, which made Zhang Yingzi tremble with fear. She didn't dare to say anything.

  Zhang Yingzi had no choice but to go out with Eunuch Xu.  

  Of course, it was impossible for Eunuch Xu to personally escort Zhang Yingzi out of the palace this time. Wouldn't this give Zhang Yingzi face?   Eunuch Xu arranged for some palace servants to escort Zhang Yingzi to Gu's house.

  It was impossible for Zhang Yingzi to pretend that she was not having a good life in the palace.

  She also wants everyone to envy her.

  So she changed into the new clothes given to her by the Queen.

  When she entered the palace, she did not bring any spare clothes except the one she was wearing.

  The queen also said she would make a new one for her.

  It's not like the palace can't even make a few new sets of clothes, so the queen wouldn't be so stingy to Zhang Yingzi.

  Besides, the fabric was not rare and precious, so he asked the Clothing Bureau to make five sets for Zhang Yingzi.

  It's not a precious fabric, but the fabrics in the palace used for the masters to wear are all extremely valuable.

  The most ordinary cloth given to the masters was better than anything Zhang Yingzi had ever seen.

  When I was in Chong'an, these fabric styles were not available in clothing shops.

  After arriving in the capital, Zhang Yingzi could not go to make new clothes because of Old Man Zhang's illness, so she never visited the clothing shops in the capital.

  But Zhang Yingzi thought that the new clothes she received in the palace must be inferior to those in the palace, both in terms of fabric and style.

  So, Zhang Yingzi put on her favorite one and took a carriage to Gu's house.

  The carriage stopped at the door. The concierge saw Zhang Yingzi and asked in surprise, "Miss Zhang, why are you back?"

  Could it be that he was driven back by the palace?   Zhang Yingzi looked proud and reserved, and said, "I missed my father, so I asked the Queen Mother to let me come back to see him."

  The gatekeeper let Zhang Yingzi in, reported to Yao Xingcai, and asked him to entertain the palace maids who followed her.

  Zhang Yingzi met the Gu family who came to pick her up halfway.

  In any case, Zhang Yingzi came back from the palace, and was followed by palace servants.

  The etiquette of the Gu family still needs to be in place.

  "Miss Zhang is back." Wang Cuizhen said with a smile, "The girl has been well-fed in the palace. I feel her skin has become more delicate and tender."

  Zhang Caiping raised her hand and used a handkerchief to cover the smile on her lips.

  Wang Cuizhen is lying with her eyes open.

  She saw that Zhang Yingzi's skin seemed to have become even drier.

  But no one would say that Zhang Yingzi had a bad life in the palace.

  How could it be bad to be rich and prosperous in the palace?   "Yes, I am lucky enough to be loved by the Queen, and my life in the palace is indeed very good." Zhang Yingzi's life in the palace was not without gain.

  Learned some facial expression management.

  It's just that he hasn't learned it well enough, and although his smile is reserved, he can't hide his pride.

  "Miss Zhang, this dress looks beautiful." Zhang Caiping has been in business for a long time, but she is very good at observing people's expressions.

  She can see clearly what changes have taken place in the regular customers of the store today, who has bought new clothes, who has an extra piece of jade on his hand, and then she can praise them as much as she wants.

  The guests were praised and smiled happily.

  What's more, Zhang Yingzi had lived in the mansion for a long time. On the day she left, Zhang Caiping saw that Zhang Yingzi was not wearing the same clothes she was wearing today.

  Moreover, he did not bring any clothes into the palace, nor did he send anyone back to get the clothes.

  What Zhang Yingzi is wearing today must be from the palace.

  Zhang Caiping didn't mind praising her and making Zhang Yingzi happy.

  In fact, they knew what kind of life Zhang Yingzi lived in the palace.

  The Crown Princess has said it all.

  In order to prevent Mr. Zhang's physical condition from being spread.
