Chapter 105: Punishment

After Li Jin saluted, he slowly got up in the soft voice of the Queen Mother, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a warm smile like a spring day in front of him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Come on, kid, let me take a good look at you, this is the first time we've met so closely. The Queen Mother smiled and beckoned and asked Li Jin to go to her side.

As he said, Li Jin came to the phoenix chair of the Queen Mother and stood still. The left hand hanging by his side was held by the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother caressed Li Jin, looked at Li Jin quietly for a moment, and said with a smile: "What a quiet beauty, it is rare to get your heart." As he spoke, he beckoned the chamberlain to sit beside Li Jin.

After that, I seemed to remember that the two people from the Huaiyang Palace, who were standing at the bottom, ordered to give a seat together. Because Li Jin turned his back to the two of them at this time, he couldn't see their reactions, and only felt that he had a pair of hot eyes behind him, which made people feel uncomfortable. Don't think it must be Jing Yu's sight.

After a few people sat down, the waiter quickly placed the refreshments that had been prepared on the small table beside a few people.

At this time, because Li Jin's seat was on the left hand side next to the Queen Mother, he was finally able to see the whole picture of the hall. I saw that Jing Yu didn't know whether she had been warned by the old princess, or because Li Jin was sitting at this time, the queen mother had no natural barrier, and her face was already calm and she didn't seem to be able to make a dazzling look at her, and she sat calmly under the old princess.

The old princess had an enthusiastic expression, looking at the busy waiter beside her and the pastries beside her. Li Jin secretly turned his gaze and tried not to trace the Queen Mother beside him. At this time, he was leisurely sipping tea, and the royal momentum exuded by his hands and feet was really not to be underestimated.

After the hall was quiet again, the old princess of Huaiyang said with a smile: "The potpourri cake I brought and the fragrant dough made by the chef of Yujingzhai today are specially ordered today, and the Queen Mother should try them while they are hot." Maybe there are some of the flavors of the year that are unknown. ”

The Queen Mother's brows seemed to be slightly wrinkled, and the corners of her mouth kept a hint of smile, nodded and waved her hand to let the chamberlain bring the pastries brought by Princess Huaiyang. In just a moment, there was another plate of delicate dim sum next to several people, and as soon as the dim sum next to the Queen Mother was put down, the attendant on the side of the Queen Mother began to test the poison with a silver needle, and another small attendant on the side randomly selected one of them to taste.

Although this is done for the sake of the safety of the queen mother and other nobles in the palace, in the end it makes Li Jin feel uncomfortable, and there is a moment in his heart that he is reminded that no matter what the relationship between people is, there is an insurmountable gap after the status is decided. Although Li Jin thinks of himself as the most marginal participant in this secret competition, Li Jin is even more of a bystander to today's unknown banquet. But even if he was a bystander, such a naked display of Li Jin's irrepressible disgust.

But the rest of the hall seemed to be accustomed to all this, and even the calmness in his eyebrows seemed to tell Li Jin that it was natural to do so.

After some inspection, the Queen Mother picked up a piece of Rui Xiang Dough, and showed a look of surprise and joy in just one bite, and after eating all the small pastries, the Queen Mother smiled at Princess Huaiyang: "Lanzhi still remembers that when we were in the small kitchen together, we made that Rui Xiang Dough." ”

Li Jin noticed that although Princess Huaiyang's behavior on the surface was nothing abnormal, after the Queen Mother picked up the incense ball, although she didn't make any special moves, the vague gaze always made Li Jin feel that it seemed that the princess paid special attention to the Queen Mother's reaction.

And when Li Jin noticed the Queen Mother's completely undisguised expression of surprise and joy, the reaction of Princess Huaiyang on the other side Li Jin also quietly included in her eyes, it was a sense of relaxation that seemed to be relieved, although there was no slightest move, Li Jin didn't know why she felt like this.

It wasn't until she heard the Queen Mother's evaluation that Princess Huaiyang made a happy expression and said: "That's natural, we didn't know about the practice of this fragrant group at that time, so we boldly tried our own just by the taste we tasted." That's really ......."

The Queen Mother also seemed to recall the time when she was young, revealing a gentle look between her eyebrows that was unforgettable, and said: "Yes, no matter what it was at that time, as long as we wanted to, we would do it, and the feeling of being untied was very good......

Princess Huaiyang seemed to be touched by this sentence, and the look in her eyes became confused for a while.

Jing Yu on the side seemed to be impatient, and just after Li Jin sat down, she noticed her bored and impatient expression. At this time, because she had tasted all the refreshments, there was nothing else for her to do, so she moved around in the chair as if she could not live in peace.

After Li Jin saw it, he felt that if such an action happened between the Queen Mother and the Princess Huaiyang, who were surging in the undercurrent and testing each other, it might not cause any big reaction, but at this time, both of them were immersed in their own good memories, and Jing Yu's hyperactivity was particularly eye-catching, and I was afraid that it would be easy to get a reprimand.

Sure enough, within a moment, Jing Yu seemed to be sideways and didn't pay attention, sweeping the teacup on the small table to the ground, and the crisp sound accompanied by the broken porcelain seemed to have a different kind of beauty in an instant. This was such a sudden crisp sound, which made everyone in the hall feel refreshed.

Princess Huaiyang finally stopped conniving at Jing Yu, and scolded: "Jing Yu, are you usually like this, living in the palace?"

This kind of reprimand made Jing Yu completely blinded, as if he didn't understand what was going on, and looked at his angry mother's face in disbelief, and was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to reply. I usually don't say that I broke a teacup, but I deliberately broke my brother's antiques or collections, and no one said a word. But what is going on today, it's just an ordinary thing, and the mother concubine actually yelled at herself like this.

Princess Huaiyang seemed to be even more angry because of Jing Yu's stupid expression, and said with her eyebrows almost upside down: "Why, don't you even know how to reply to my question?!"

At this time, even Li Jin was a little surprised, he really couldn't imagine that the old princess who loved Jingyu so much would teach this county lord such a lesson. If it is said that he is willing to teach this county lord a lesson and has been restrained in the morning, where can he return to the current state, and at this time, just because of Jing Yu's temporary misbehavior, how can he be so angry, does Princess Huaiyang feel that Jing Yu's behavior at this time will damage the face of the Huaiyang Palace.

It's just that everyone knows this Jing Yu's virtue, Li Jin feels that the old princess will not have heard of it even if she is far away in the fiefdom, and she has not sent anyone to strictly control it for so many years, why is it at this time? Or is it because Princess Huaiyang feels that Jing Yu is like this, and she is black for her face in front of the queen mother? I don't know what the reason is, but such a sudden attack made the atmosphere in the hall drop to freezing point in an instant, and a pin drop could be heard for a while.

And the eyes of the person concerned, Jing Yu, were already filled with fog, and a pair of apricot eyes were almost red at this time, but he gritted his teeth and didn't let the tears fall. Li Jin couldn't bear to see it, but when she turned her eyes to look at the old princess's expression, she didn't expect that it had not changed at all, and there was no turnaround.

The old princess got up in an instant, and after saluting the queen mother respectfully, she said: "Jing Yu was too pampered by me, and the imperial concubine was out of order, and the concubine asked for the guilt on her behalf, and asked the queen mother to punish her." ”

The Queen Mother looked light-hearted, and said with a smile: "Where, Jing Yu is still young, and it is natural to be lively and active, your mother and daughter are usually in a fiefdom and the other in Beijing, and they rarely get together, and I can't bear to be harsh on Jing Yu, just don't take it as an example." ”

The old princess immediately said in a grateful tone: "Thank you for the grace of the mother." After that, he didn't ask Jing Yu to come to the Queen Mother to thank him, and directly instructed his attendant maid: "Take the county lord down, go back to the house and think about it behind closed doors, and you can't go out without permission." ”

After sternly saying to Jing Yu, the old princess turned around and saluted the Queen Mother again to show her gratitude. And Jing Yu left Cining Palace under the leadership of Zirui, Li Jin looked at the face that clearly wrote grievances, confusion, and unwillingness even when he left, but he seemed to feel as if there was something he had missed outside the surface, but he couldn't grasp anything for a while.
