Chapter 466: Empress
Yan Xi came back overnight and saw Xiao Jiu looking at the account book, and said casually: "Why do you remember to read the account book again?" ”
"The eldest brother's family affairs are decided, and I have to prepare a congratulatory gift, I am my sister-in-law, and I have to prepare a single gift for my future sister-in-law, but I don't remember what is in the warehouse, this will be doubled, and it is better to prepare things earlier, so as not to be in a hurry."
"Go directly to the warehouse to pick it up, how troublesome is it to read the booklet?" Yan Xi went to change clothes behind the screen, and the voice came not very really.
Xiao Jiu closed the booklet and said: "Some things are stored in the box, I will flip through the booklet first, I have just decided on the family matter, there is still a lot of time, don't worry." ”
Yan Xi came out of his regular clothes, and said with a helpless smile: "You don't say it's in a hurry, don't light a candle and look at the account book." ”
Xiao Jiu grimaced and snorted softly at Yan Xi.
"Why are you back so late today?" Xiao Jiu put the account book away and asked.
"The prince came to me and drank two glasses of wine."
"Yes."
Xiao Jiu wrinkled his nose and sniffed, but he didn't smell much wine, so he believed that the two glasses of wine Yan Xi said were really just two glasses.
"Would you like to eat something more?" Xiao Jiu touched his stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry and want to eat egg fried rice." ”
Hungry, Xiao Jiu always felt flustered and couldn't sleep.
"Just do it, I ate some, but I wasn't full."
"Then I'll do it."
Xiao Jiu hadn't cooked for a long time, and now that he was about to go to the kitchen on a whim, Yan Xi smiled, got up and followed, and said, "I'll light the fire for you." ”
Xiao Jiu held Yanxi's hand and smiled like a flower, "Okay." ”
The two masters arrived in the kitchen in the middle of the night, but the cook was frightened, the hour was not early, and the cook squinted and was about to fall asleep.
"I don't need you all, let's all go down."
The cook didn't dare to say anything, so she led the two fire girls out, and after a while, she heard the sound of chopping vegetables from inside, and her face changed.
Xiao Jiu wanted to eat egg fried rice, but after turning around, he didn't see any steamed rice, but there were noodles rolled out in the afternoon, so he had to change his mind and eat fried noodles with shredded pork.
Yan Xi was lighting the fire while waiting for the water in the pot to boil before cooking the noodles.
Xiao Jiu cut the green onions, ginger and garlic, cut a lot of shredded meat, washed the vegetables, prepared all the dishes, Yan Xi's water was also boiling, grabbed a handful of noodles and threw them in, stirred them with chopsticks and covered the pot.
"I'll take Brother An into the palace tomorrow to see my grandmother."
The Queen Mother hasn't seen her great-grandson for more than a month, and Xiao Jiu is also very patient with the elderly, not to mention that she is still one of the few relatives of Yanxi.
"Hmm." After a pause, Yan Xi said again: "Be careful of the queen." ”
"Queen?" Xiao Jiu was shocked, "What's wrong with her?" ”
In Xiao Jiu's impression, although the queen has a concubine in the middle palace, she has always been very low-key, except for things in the palace, she rarely interferes in other things, even some important palace banquets, which are usually low-key and ignored.
Although the previous meeting made Xiao Jiu have some bad feelings for the queen, he never felt that the queen was in any danger.
"The matter of the four princes seems to have the work of the queen, but there is no evidence, everything is speculation." Yan Xi's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he was also incredulous about this conclusion.
"She is the queen and gave birth to a sister-in-law, it is right to have that kind of thought, but it is just ......" Xiao Jiu felt that things were going a little strangely.
"She helped the four princes, did she want to borrow a knife to kill people?"
"Perhaps."
Xiao Jiu frowned and thought for a long time, sighed, and said, "I know, I'll be careful." ”
The water was boiling, Xiao Jiu hurriedly opened the lid of the pot, took the chopsticks from Yan Xi's hand and stirred them twice.
"If the queen is really ambitious, then the position of the prince is not stable." Xiao Jiu thought of the crown princess Zhong Ling, who was about to enter the door, shook his head, and said, "I hope Zhong Ling can handle the queen, after all, she is the mother-in-law." ”
In the future, she will still be the queen mother, of course, on the premise that she has not made a mistake and has been degraded.
"The past dynasties have been the emperor's destiny for a short ......time," Xiao Jiu said, and lowered his voice again, "The queen is not a grandmother. ”
The Queen Mother raised Emperor Qian since she was a child, and she had no son of her own, so she was naturally devoted to Emperor Qian.
But the queen not only has a son-in-law, but also the youngest, and when Emperor Qiandi is old, the seventh prince is about the age of the prince.
"The queen shouldn't be going for the crown prince."
Xiao Jiu muttered for a while, but Yan Xi suddenly said such a sentence again, which made her even more confused.
"It's not for the prince, it's still for me?"
Yanxi has often entered the palace since she was a child, but she didn't notice anything wrong with the queen, and when she entered the palace, the queen's attitude was not very friendly......
Yan Xi looked at Xiao Jiu silently, and if he didn't speak, he acquiesced.
Xiao Jiu was surprised, "...... Why? ”
"I don't know."
It was precisely because he didn't know that Yan Xi was even more worried.
Xiao Jiu: "......"
**
Yan Xi said to be careful of the queen, Xiao Jiu really met the queen in Cining Palace, and when she entered, she hated her crow's mouth, she was afraid of something.
"Say hello to my grandmother, say hello to the queen."
"It's all my own family, so I don't have to be polite." The queen mother smiled, and the queen also nodded with a light smile.
With the queen here, Xiao Jiu's etiquette is naturally very thorough, and there is nothing wrong with it.
If the queen really wants to trouble Xiao Jiu, she will naturally not be picky about the number of etiquette, after all, everyone knows that although Xiao Jiu is a real daughter, she grew up in the countryside, and the number of etiquette is definitely not as good as the daughter of the boudoir in the capital.
After Xiao Jiu got up, he was held by the Queen Mother and sat beside him, and when he went out, An Ge'er had already slept for a while, and he was still awake, quietly spitting bubbles and playing.
Brother An had a problem gnawing his fists before, and Xiao Jiu was also worried that he had been eating his fists to allow bacteria to eat in his stomach, but he didn't expect this little guy to change his bad habits, and now he has changed to spitting bubbles and spitting to play.
"It looks a little bigger." Although the Queen Mother can often see Brother An, she doesn't see her every day, she only feels that every time is different, and the changes are too fast.
Xiao Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, and said softly: "Yes, I may have eaten it, but now I eat less breast milk." ”
The queen was not far away, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she could see Brother An, and when she heard Xiao Jiu's words, she only smiled and did not speak.
Xiao Jiu was always vigilant against the queen, she was not afraid of what the queen would do to her, she was afraid that the queen would attack An Ge'er, so she never dared to put the child down and held it in her arms all the time.
After all, if she didn't want to, no one would be able to snatch An Ge'er out of her hands.
Speaking of which, on the day when the four princes forced the palace, the queen fell ill before the dinner and did not participate, now that I think about it, this is too much of a coincidence.
"Let the mourners hug."
As the queen mother, no one will bring the noisy child to her, but Brother An is her maternal great-grandson, so she is naturally different, no matter how you look at it, she is more well-behaved and cute than other children.
