The more Chen thought about it, the more it made sense. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In front of Wu Zhengxiang, she really couldn't pretend to be a mother. He really looks like Wen Yunqing, especially the pair of eyes, the same stubbornness and refusal to admit defeat. Seeing him, Chen couldn't help but think of his biological mother.

What's more, even if she can barely hide it, Wu Zhengxiang will not believe it easily. After all, he and he have a mother-killing enmity, how can they easily shake hands and make peace?

And Xu Wanzhen is very different. She is a mere merchant woman, even if she has the blue eyes of the Queen Mother, what if everyone praises her? This can't hide her humble background. If she hadn't begged for herself, how could she marry into the Guogong Mansion with her identity?

Even if she can reluctantly marry, with her identity, she is just a concubine. Just like before, the prince protected the media for the prince of Anguo and begged to marry Xu Wanzhen as a concubine.

Therefore, from a certain point of view, he is Xu Wanzhen's benefactor rather than an enemy. As long as she makes a gesture of repentance and shows favor everywhere, she will surely gradually lower her guard. In this way, it must be what everyone wants to see.

As for what to do then, Chen has not yet figured it out. In short, wait for the opportunity to move at that time. This first step is to make a gesture to confuse the other party.

Chen's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, what about the betrayal of relatives? Even if he has to be alone, he will let Wu Zhengxiang cut off his children and grandchildren, and he will not die well!

……

The next day, Xu Wanzhen got up early in the morning, waited by Sang Zi to finish grooming, changed into clothes to go out, took Mama Zheng and Sang Zi, and the group set off from the side gate of the Zhongguo Mansion.

Mama Ding sent the little palace maid to wait at the palace gate, and when she saw that Xu Wanzhen's soft sedan chair had arrived, she hurriedly welcomed her in, and Liuli also came out from inside.

"Early in the morning, Niangniang was chattering, no, Xu Yiren is here." Ruri smiled genuinely.

Xu Wanzhen lowered her head and smiled: "Sister Lao Liuli greeted her, and Wanzhen didn't want to go." ”

Liuli stepped forward and took her arm affectionately, and said with a smile: "Xu Yiren said this, it's really a." You are the person on the tip of the Queen Mother's heart, what is a servant? ”

While speaking, he had already arrived at the pavilion where Empress Dowager Xiao was.

Autumn is high and cool, and it is the favorite season of Empress Dowager Xiao. She is afraid of cold, and she has a hard time in summer and winter.

And the autumn is cool, everywhere harvest, from the Empress Dowager Xiao where the gazebo looks, the eyes are all layers of gold, begonias, golden osmanthus, hibiscus, chrysanthemums, hibiscus and so on compete to bloom, beautiful. The breeze will blow in gusts, which is refreshing.

"Courtesy Xu Wanzhen, I have seen the Queen Mother." Xu Wanzhen gave a respectful salute.

Empress Dowager Xiao turned around, looked at her and laughed, "Zhen'er, come and sit down and taste the newly made sour plum tea of the Mourning family?" ”

Mr. Ning now teaches several princesses in the palace and often goes in and out of the court. After seeing her once or twice, Empress Dowager Xiao was quite interested in what she said about her health preservation. Mr. Ning gave her a lot of healthy tea recipes, and Empress Dowager Xiao had fun, and she would make some homemade tea when she had nothing to do.

Xu Wanzhen sat on half of the spring bench under the Empress Dowager Xiao, and the little palace maid presented tea, she tasted it carefully, and after a while, she frowned sourly, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and said: "Niangniang, how many sour plums have you used, so sour!" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao laughed and said to Mama Ding beside her: "Look, what did the mourning family say?" Sure enough, it's sour! I just want you to say it well, or dare to tell the truth. Mama Ding, Liuli and the palace maids covered their mouths and smiled.

After that, he muttered to himself: "The mourning family thinks that since the sugar-pickled sour plum can quench thirst, soaking in water must taste good, and it saves the trouble of chewing." However, if you put too much, it will be sour, and if you put too little, it will be bland and tasteless. The mourning family has added rock sugar, but unfortunately it doesn't help much. What's the problem? ”

Hearing Xu Wan's true amusement, the world thought that the Queen Mother was high and majestic. But I forgot that the Queen Mother is also a human being, and there are things that she likes to study, and there are times when she is troubled.

Sour plum tea, she has drunk it a few times in modern times, it is a special tea drink made by a private club. It tastes sweet and sour, appetizing and tastes excellent. It is especially suitable for summer, and it is very greasy to drink with cream crab in autumn. It's just a recipe, she can't really remember it, she only vaguely remembers the main ingredient.

After thinking about it, Xu Wanzhen said: "Queen Mother, Zhen'er has an idea. Since it is sour plum tea, I am afraid that it will not work if you want to enhance the flavor with rock sugar. Sweet and sour are homologous, and the taste can't come out. I just don't know, will the method I think will work? ”

"Tell me, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work. There is nothing else to mourn the family, but there is a lot of time, and you can try it slowly. Empress Dowager Xiao smiled.

For some reason, every time Empress Dowager Xiao said that she had too much time to run out, Xu Wanzhen grieved for her. The Queen Mother is already the most noble woman in the world, but who knows the loneliness of the deep palace behind her?

"If you're really thinking nonsense, why don't you add a little black plum wine and cook the pickled sour plum and rock sugar together, maybe it will taste better?"

"That's right!" Empress Dowager Xiao patted her thigh, "Wine can enhance the taste, this is a common method when cooking." Why didn't the mourning family think of it. Come on, go get a bottle of black plum wine, and try it at the mourning family! ”

The glass is crisp and crisp, and I went to get the plum wine in person. Mama Ding commanded the little palace maids and brought up a white porcelain stove and teapot used to make tea in winter.

When everything was ready to stop, Empress Dowager Xiao was full of interest, personally guarded the fire, and added the same main ingredients to the teapot. After the tea boils, the air wafts with the aroma of black plum.

"Will you put too much wine in it?" Empress Dowager Xiao was a little worried.

"No, I don't. After boiling, the wine steam quickly, so the aroma is stronger. Smelling this fragrance, Xu Wan really knows it, and it shouldn't be bad.

After taking the flannel cloth that Liuli handed over, Xu Wanzhen personally held the teapot and poured a cup for the Empress Dowager Xiao, "Wait for it to be a little cooler, the Empress Dowager might as well try it." ”

The thin white porcelain tea cup is faintly transparent, containing vermilion sour plum tea, the tea soup is bright and fragrant, and the Empress Dowager Xiao smiled: "The mourning family really can't wait for a moment." Zhen'er also poured a glass herself, whether it tasted good or not, you and I can be regarded as sharing weal and woe. ”

Xu Wanzhen pursed her lips and smiled, "Being able to share weal and woe with the Queen Mother is really a blessing that others can't ask for!" ”

"Look at this little mouth. When I woke up after sleeping for two years, my mouth was like honey. It's a shame that the mourning family still thinks that your temperament is too dull! Empress Dowager Xiao quipped.

"Niangniang has wronged her courtiers! When I first saw the Queen Mother, Zhen'er was intimidated by the majesty of the Queen Mother, and she dared to talk nonsense. Now Niangniang treats Zhen'er like a granddaughter, so naturally she can't control her mouth, as long as Niangniang doesn't dislike it. ”
