Qiu Yebai's craftsmanship and ingenuity made Shuangbai envious: "Tsk, Lord Qiu is really good-hearted, if she is dismissed in the future, this craft alone can be eaten all over the world." ”

What's more, he believes that Akiba Bai is more than just this trick!

Baili Chu was in good spirits, and his eyes naturally fell on the other four attractive plum blossom glutinous rice dumplings.

He took the silver fork, thought about it and put it down, changed his chopsticks, and directly grabbed a glutinous rice dumpling inlaid with rose-purple plum petals, put it in his mouth, and took a bite.

The fragrant and soft teeth, all of them are plum blossoms, but as the tender ice glutinous rice skin suddenly breaks between his lips, the rose-colored filling inside flows into the mouth, and the filling made of bean paste mixed with ground plum petals is fragrant but not greasy.

Bai Li Chu nodded with satisfaction, and then took a white plum blossom glutinous rice dumpling and put it in his mouth: "The yellow filling of the white plum blossom is a milky filling." ”

Shuangbai nodded: "The milky filling fills the stomach." ”

Subsequently, Baili Chu continued to try again: "The yellow plum glutinous rice dumplings are ...... Ginger lotus seed puree, salted egg yolk filling, spicy and salty. ”

Shuangbai groaned: "Ginger juice warms the body and invigorates the blood, lotus seeds are cleared and replenished, and the salted egg yolk is fragrant and greasy." ”

At the beginning of the hundred miles, I continued to raise chopsticks to try the last one: "Pink plum glutinous rice dumplings are jujube paste hawthorn filling, sweet and sour,." ”

Shuangbai couldn't help but praise again: "Jujube paste replenishes blood, hawthorn consumes food, Lord Qiu's meticulous mind is simply breathtaking, if anyone has to marry an adult as a wife, it's really lucky!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shuangbai saw the corners of his Royal Highness's lips rise, and his expression unconsciously revealed a proud demeanor, a look of inner craftsmanship, smiling, smiling.

"Xiaobai's craftsmanship is not something that everyone can eat, and some people don't have a chance in their lifetime." Bai Li Chu wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief and said lightly.

He remembered that the shopkeeper used to occasionally discuss one or two dishes with Xiaobai once a month before he had the opportunity to eat them.

Shuangbai looked at his master's unfinished appearance, and bowed his head silently, Your Highness, do you remember to eat or not, not to mention who is in this situation now, it is not known who is in the family, it is the price of your own highness to eat this small snack, but you were beaten and burned for three days.

Shuangbai looked at the empty plate, and secretly shook his head in his heart, although Qiu Yebai's craftsmanship is excellent, but the price to pay for eating is too great, he would rather eat the dishes of the Mingguang Palace's big kitchen!

Baili Chu quickly used up the remaining small half bowl of porridge, handed the bowl to Shuangbai, and ordered with some unfinished thoughts: "Go and serve another bowl." ”

Shuangbai took it, but hesitated for a moment, but still stubbornly said: "Your Highness, the lord said that the afternoon meal is just to fill the stomach and wake up, and it is to nourish the body, and she can't eat more, so she only prepares one snack and porridge." ”

Bai Li Chu leaned on the cushion behind him, crossed his long legs, and chuckled lazily: "She cherishes herself, but she still has to use such a high-sounding name, so let her be, anyway, she still owes the palace a lot of meals." ”

Hearing this, Shuangbai swallowed his saliva, secretly envious in his heart, and made up his mind that this matter should not be told by Yibai, and when the time comes, it will be beneficial for him to follow His Highness.

……

Qiu Yebai listened to Ning Chun's report in her room, the dishes sent out by Shuangbai were clean and clean as if they had never been used, she couldn't help but smile, it seemed that a certain magic beauty was not as picky as she thought, and it was good to raise.

Although he knew that his craftsmanship was excellent, the support of the beginning of the hundred miles still made Akiba Bai feel very good, and the original chaotic thoughts were temporarily left behind.

……*……*……*……*……

Although the old residence of Autumn Leaf White is relaxed and calm, the entire Qiu family is already full of rumors.

After the assassination of His Royal Highness the Regent, the entire autumn day was surrounded by three hundred heavily armed crane guards around the perimeter of the house, and all the guests of the day were questioned separately, regardless of any official position or knighthood, they must be cleared of suspicion before leaving.

After that, the Qiu Mansion also received the decree of His Royal Highness the Regent, and all the people were not allowed to go out without anything to do, and they were not allowed to walk around the mansion at will.

And when the matter reached the palace, it is said that both the emperor and the empress dowager were furious and ordered a thorough investigation.

The final result was what everyone saw later, the crane guards arrested several suspects who were said to be involved in this matter, and even Qiu Fengwu, the eldest son of the Qiu family, who returned home to the province, was imprisoned alone, but most of these suspects were killed on the spot by the crane guards because of their 'stubborn resistance', among which the most deeply involved was Du Zhenlan, the princess of Xiangguo, who was directly put into prison.

This matter caused an uproar in the government and the opposition, and naturally there were people from the Du family's lineage who tried to prove that Du Zhenlan had nothing to do with the 'assassination' incident, but these twists and turns were directly suppressed by Lao Zhen, and Bai Lichu didn't bother to take a look at it at all.

The news of Du Zhenlan's being taken away quickly spread throughout the Qiu family, but no one dared to come to the door to question His Royal Highness Regent.

It wasn't until the news of Bailichu's decision to return to the palace spread that someone finally couldn't hold it back.

……

"Fourth brother."

A woman's quiet voice suddenly sounded behind Akiba Bai.

Qiu Yebai paused for a moment, then raised his head and glanced at the girl at the door lightly: "Here, sit down." ”

The girl stepped into the room, blessed Akiba, and then sat down at the bottom of her.

Sit in a chair for three minutes with your back straight and your hands folded on your knees.

Extremely elegant and dignified typical lady sitting posture.

Qiu Yebai looked at her and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Seventh sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are becoming more and more dignified and bright." ”

Qiu Shanyuan wears a delicate emerald feather Nanzhu Huasheng between the double knife buns on her head, although a delicate and beautiful face is a little pale, but the delicate and translucent skin is glowing with a soft luster, a brocade ground wrapped in a thick brocade grunt hibiscus pink brocade jacket, the collar and sleeves are inlaid with warm snow fox fur, which sets off her complexion more beautifully, and there is no lack of generosity between the eyebrows.

This sister of hers is not so much like her unscrupulous mother who relies on her appearance and the world, since Qiu Shanyuan can endure it until now, she has come to her, and she doesn't cry or shout, her appearance is dignified, she feels that this girl is not simple.

"Fourth brother, my sister is here today, and I just want to ask one thing." Qiu Shanyuan looked up at Qiu Yebai, and her little face was calm and inappropriate for her age.

Autumn leaves nodded and said lightly, "You ask." ”

These days, it is not that no one from the Qiu family has handed her a note and a message, wanting to find out some news from her.

But she didn't reply to anyone, and it wasn't until yesterday when Baili Chu decided to drive back to the palace that she received a message from Qiu Shanyuan, hoping to see her, and this time, she didn't refuse.

Qiu Shanyuan looked at Qiu Yebai, her eyes were cold and calm: "Fourth brother, can you save my mother from His Royal Highness Regent?" ”

Autumn leaves shook his head and said lightly, "No." ”

Qiu Shanyuan paused, and then suddenly asked, "Fourth brother has my mother in his heart?" ”

Qiu Yebai looked at Qiu Shanyuan in surprise this time, but saw that there was no resentment, disdain, or hatred in her eyes, and just looked at her quietly, as if she was just asking an ordinary answer.

She remembered that she deliberately let Ning Chun and them attract Qiu Shanyuan to break Du Zhenlan's mind about herself, and Qiu Shanyuan's reaction was much more fierce than now.

Qiu Yebai just shook his head again: "The eldest lady is the eldest lady, and she will always be the eldest lady of the Qiu family." ”

When Qiu Shanyuan heard this, her expression was a little helpless and seemed to be a little ridiculous, but she finally returned to calm, she nodded: "Okay, I know, my sister will leave." ”

After that, she got up and blessed Autumn Leaves Baifu: "My sister will take the first step, don't disturb the fourth brother." ”

Qiu Ye Bai was stunned, but she didn't think that this sister would be so simple, she raised her eyebrows: "Fourth sister, just leave?" ”

Qiu Shanyuan stopped, looked at Qiu Yebai and said indifferently: "My sister is here to ask for help, but the fourth brother has already said that you can't save my mother, and my sister also went to His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince before she came, and got the same answer, my sister has no reason to stay anymore, so naturally she wants to find another way to save my mother." ”

After that, she was blessed again, and this time she simply left.

Qiu Yebai looked at her straight back, and then there was a strange luster in her eyes: "My sister has a stubborn personality, and she is a bit of a housewife." ”

Ning Chun, who was cleaning up his pen and ink, nodded: "These days, the eldest young master has been confined, the second young master is afraid of things, the seventh young master is not in Beijing for a long time, and the eldest lady is taking care of the affairs of the mansion. ”

Hearing this, Autumn Leaves raised his eyebrows: "Oh, yes, which family affair has been decided?" ”

Ning Chun pondered for a while before he said, "It's the little son of the Ningguo Mansion." ”

"Ningguo Gong?" Qiu Yebai groaned: "It is a well-known Qing Guixun Mansion, and it has never participated in the struggle of the dynasty, and it has declined, but the Duke of Ningguo is in charge of the scientific examination, so it is very respected by scholars, and it is still a little decent, Du Zhenlan really plans for her own daughter." ”

Now that the situation between the DPRK and China is unknown, the outsiders seem to be the two big Du families and the Mingguang Palace, but in fact they are suffering, who knows?

She used to be in the court for a short time, and she didn't know why, but now she has been in the palace and the court for a while, but she has seen some doorways.

Not to mention that the decisions of major affairs in the DPRK and China are controlled by Bailichu and other things, just think about Bailichu's disrespect for the Queen Mother, Lafayette can't do anything with him, even if the whole palace is accustomed to it, you can know that the Du family is a relying on the Queen Mother Lafayette who is struggling to support and suffer there.

What's more, there is a hundred miles of early clamping inside, and there are eight princes who are looking at the wind for a hundred miles, and several princes of the Du family are also at odds with each other!

"The Du family is now a dung ball pushed by the shell, it is a light surface, and I am afraid that it will be dirty." Akiba Bai snorted lightly.

She suddenly remembered that Lao Zhen had told her that the tragic demise of the mother clan at the beginning of the hundred miles was simply a sacrifice for the struggle for imperial power.

At that moment, a strange thought suddenly flashed through her mind, if it was according to the current form, if Baili Chu really wanted to move the Du family, maybe, it was really not impossible.

And the Du family's immortal and non-living form is not something that has only appeared now, and it has been a few years, but why didn't they do it at the beginning of a hundred miles?

Is he waiting for his moment, or is it ...... Plans for something else?

Qiu Yebai didn't quite understand, she didn't know why, she vaguely felt that the current shape of the imperial court was very strange, inexplicably giving her the feeling that someone was deliberately maintaining this kind of appearance that the Mingguang Palace and the Yongning Palace were both big, and there was another state of turbulent undercurrent.

So who is this person?

Qiu Yebai's heart was suddenly shocked, she stared slightly, if there is really such a person, then the other party's purpose to maintain this situation is only afraid that there are more terrifying calculations!

……

Baili Chu held the pen in his hand for a moment, and a little ink fell into the crystal jar in front of him, and then the ink slowly faded, spinning and writhing in the water bewitchingly, as if the bewitching dancing girl was dancing a strange and demagogic dance.

"Your Highness, are you sure that our next deployment will be suspended?" Shuangbai is in the right color behind the beginning of the hundred miles.

Bai Lichu looked intently at the crystal jar, the little ink writhing with his teeth and claws, and said faintly and coolly: "The destiny of heaven has arrived, why do you and I need to do it, and watch the sky act, this palace is looking forward to it." ”

Shuangbai nodded respectfully: "Yes." ”

Baili Chu looked at it, the ink in the water tank gradually blurred, so that a small tank of pen washing water was all blurred, smiled slightly, the corners of the eyes were lightly curled, and it was charming to the point of gloom.

……*……*……*……*……

Let's say that His Royal Highness the regent returned to the palace, and the eighth prince was also released on the second day and returned to the palace.

Naturally, Akiba Bai, the celebrant and the admiral, will not stay in the mansion for a long time, but on the third day, he will also return home.

And the fact that Qiu Yebai lives in the same place with His Royal Highness the Regent in the Qiu Mansion, although Qiu Shanyuan has deliberately issued a gag order, but after all, the Qiu Mansion also belongs to the territory of the Du family, and it is impossible not to disclose the news.

On the second day after returning to the celebrant supervisor, Akiba Bai received an order from the Queen Mother Lafayette and ordered her to enter the palace.

"Hmph, the autumn vice seat is really capable, and he can cause so much turmoil when he goes back to his house, even Lafayette is alarmed." It was Chen He who came to see the Empress Dowager of the Wind Department, and after he finished announcing the decree, he looked at Autumn Leaf White and sneered meaningfully.

"You can tease the left and right in front of the princess of the regent and the queen mother, deputy seat, you are really capable."

Hearing this, Qiu Yebai looked at Chen He's gloating look, and she smiled: "That's right, this is also a skill, a skill that you don't have in your life." ”

As soon as these words came out, it seemed ordinary, but when they looked at the wind, some people couldn't help but laugh lowly.

That's right, a eunuch can't be left and right between women, the adult's words are really poisonous, but there are no dirty words!

Chen He is not stupid, the eunuch was originally the most taboo for others to mention this, and his face instantly turned red and blue, and he stretched out the orchid that was trembling with anger and pointed at Qiu Yebai: "You...... You...... Akiba Bai, don't go too far, you're a big rebel...... Great rebellion...... Dare to insult the Queen Mother......! ”

Qiu Yebai raised his eyebrows: "Gonggong Chen, which sentence and which word of this deputy seat insulted the Queen Mother?" ”

Chen He was instantly dumbfounded, yes, although Qiu Yebai's words were arrogant, he couldn't find any problems on the letter, if he bluntly said the vague meaning in these words, he was afraid that this little rabbit cub surnamed Qiu would bite him Chen He back!

Chen He's face turned pale with anger, his chest rose and fell a few times, and he looked at Qiu Yebai resentfully: "Our family remembers the teachings of the deputy seat!" ”

With that, he led the two little eunuchs away angrily.

Zhou Yu looked at Chen He's distant back, and said with some concern: "Deputy seat, this Chen He is notoriously cautious, loves to hold grudges, you offend him so ruthlessly, I'm afraid that I won't give you a stumbling block in the future." ”

Qiu Yebai raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that if I don't offend him, he will let me go?" ”

Zhou Yu was dumbfounded, indeed.

Autumn Leaf Bai dusted off his sleeves indifferently, and then said: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, let's go, and prepare to enter the palace." ”

……

When Qiu Yebai was led to Yongning Palace by Mama Dong, the Queen Mother was asking Doctor Luo to take the pulse.

"See the Queen Mother." Akiba Bai bowed his hand respectfully.

She swept her gaze over the heavily armed guards outside the door, and if she was not mistaken, she also saw Zheng Jun's figure.

"Autumn leaves, you come to the mourning house." The Queen Mother Lafayette said suddenly.

Qiu Ye Bai was stunned for a moment, then got up, walked to the Queen Mother's side, and knelt down on one knee again: "Lafayette." ”

The Queen Mother Lafayette turned her face and looked down at her: "Raise your head." ”

She hesitated for a moment, but still raised her head and looked at Lafayette, Lafayette's pair of Danfeng eyes were cold and sharp, and he was looking at her coldly and condescendingly, and said after a while: "

Well, he was born very handsome, but a man has to be so good-skinned. ”

"The Queen Mother ......." She had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Autumn leaves, you don't want this face, it's really good for your career." The Queen Mother Lafayette half turned her face sideways, smiled gloomily, and suddenly raised her voice slightly.

"Zheng Jun, this palace remembers that your skinning skills are the best."
