Seeing that the Queen Mother seemed to have forgotten, Gao Xian asked more, "That Sister Zhu, how will the Queen Mother reward her?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled a little coldly, "It's just a plate of tofu flowers, and it's really too far behind these cooks in terms of skills." If you reward her again, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of those masters, so forget it. ”

Gao Xian was a little puzzled, but he didn't argue with her on the day of his mother's birthday banquet for this trivial matter, so he didn't say much. just rewarded Fei Zhi and praised him for his ability.

Fei Zhi was overjoyed, he didn't have a deep friendship with Nianfu, and his mind was overwhelmed by the emperor's reward, where did he want to get what to fight for Nianfu? Kowtow and thank you for withdrawing, and happily prepare to receive the reward and go back to Beishi to go back to the scenery again.

But the courtiers outside couldn't see the situation here, and even Su Cheng, who came to the banquet, didn't know about it.

When Fei Zhi and Lu Ying came out, they didn't hear that the emperor and the queen mother were going to summon Nianfu, and they didn't even have a special reward, Yu Sansheng was surprised. How so? Obviously Nianfu's dishes moved them so much, how could there be nothing?

"Did they forget?"

Hearing the master say this, Lu Ying was quite angry, obviously she won the most generous reward, and she should be considered the first place, but why didn't the master even ask, only cared about that girl?

Heng Mei glanced at Nianfu, and she said in embarrassment, "It's not easy for me to say this, so the master should inquire by himself." ”

She received her own golden hairpin and went home very satisfied. I still think about happiness in my heart, what's the use of being small? The one who can really win is someone like yourself who has real materials!

Wait for Yu Sansheng to hear the words that came out of the Queen Mother's most embarrassing situation. Nian Fu didn't know what to say.

It was already afternoon outside, and it should be the warmest time of the day, but she felt that her heart had fallen into the bottomless ice cellar, and she had been braving the cold.

Suddenly, she didn't want to say anything, she didn't want to do anything, her whole body seemed to be drained, she just wanted to go home, go home immediately!

"Don't go, I'll ask later!" Yu Sansheng was very angry. At the risk of angering the Queen Mother. I'm going to ask for an explanation.

But Nianfu grabbed him, but comforted him, "It's okay." Master Yu, the Queen Mother is right. I just made a tofu flower. It's nothing. ”

"How can you say it's nothing?" Yu Sansheng saw her as sensible and considerate. is even more distressed, and I really feel sorry for her, "We all know how to cook." The hardest part of cooking is innovation. For a plate of such tofu flowers, you know best how much effort you have spent in it. is to reward you for being the first, who dares to disagree? Then let him innovate a me! ”

But what's the use of talking about it now? What else can you do besides rubbing salt on the wound?

Nian Fuqiang endured his sadness, "It's really over." Master Yu, I'...... After all, I'm young, so it's not good to reward me...... Don't I have the same reward as everyone else? You hurry up and take me to get it, I'll be able ......to go home," she even forced herself to smile, "I haven't eaten since the morning." ”

Yu Sansheng was stunned for a moment, and then became furious, "Isn't there food in the palace, isn't there anyone to give it to you?" ”

Nianfu couldn't help it anymore, and if she stayed any longer, she felt that she was going to cry out loud, "Please, Master Yu!" Don't say it anymore, I want to go home, let me go home! ”

Seeing her soothing appearance, Yu Sansheng couldn't bear to say anything more. But when he personally took Nianfu to receive the reward, he was told-

"Without her."

"How could it not be? The Queen Mother clearly said that everyone has it? Yu Sansheng was furious.

The eunuch who could distribute the things glanced at Nianfu and took them aside, "Manager Yu, you are also an old man in the palace, and you should know some things in your heart." We are just doing things according to orders, and the higher ones say that there is something, and the higher ones say that there is none. You ask us, we can't help it! ”

But that's not fair! Yu Sansheng wanted to say something, but Nianfu had already turned around and walked quickly outside the palace gate.

She doesn't want to stay here for a moment!

The grievances came up like a rising tide, and I could only bite my lip and endure them to swallow them back. There is a faint smell of rust spreading in the mouth, salty and bitter.

Nianfu doesn't know what Lu Dao did wrong, why did Lu give her such treatment?

But she also knew that she had no power to investigate the truth, she just wanted to leave this bullying place quickly, she wanted to go home, go home!

"Oh, here!"

Outside the palace gate, Ouyang Kang was already waiting.

How long has Nianfu been here today, he has been waiting outside for as long as he wants, wanting to wait for her to come out, so that he can celebrate with her as soon as possible. Regardless of whether you do well or not, whether you can be rewarded or not, this is a major event in Nianfu's life, and it is also a major event in their family, of course, it should be taken seriously. Even for the sake of blessing, he said that there would be flowers to celebrate, and he deliberately went to the mountains outside the city to look for a long time, and finally picked two fresh plum blossoms.

He had thought that perhaps the dish of his blessing would be drowned in a multitude of delicacies and not be taken seriously, and he had even prepared words of comfort and encouragement. But he never expected Nianfu to run out with such an expression, as if he was frozen, with a pale face, and the tears of grievance when he saw him were rolling in his eyes.

When Nian Fu ran over with the food box, he really wanted to just throw himself into his arms and cry loudly. But she knew that she couldn't, this was the gate of the palace, and she couldn't cause trouble for Ouyang Kang. So I could only hold back my tears and quickly climb into the car, and threw out two words in a low voice, "Hurry up!" ”

What's going on? Ouyang Kang's eyes sank, but he didn't ask anything in the crowd, just said hello to Yu Sansheng, who was chasing him, and turned around and got into the car.

Holding her cold little hand, and then looking at Nianfu's uncomfortable look, Ouyang Kang was distressed and anxious, "Is someone bullying you?" Say, "Who is it?" ”

Asked by him, Nianfu couldn't hold back his stomach full of grievances, and cried loudly on his lap, as if he wanted to cry all the grievances and grievances in his heart.

So much hard work. Why do you want to do this to her? She doesn't even have the most basic respect, so what is she? Is it just a joke?

※

In the palace, Empress Dowager Mu, who had returned from the banquet to Renshou Palace, was not in a good mood. Although he sat there with his eyes slightly closed and said nothing, the aura that emanated from his body alone made a group of young palace maids and eunuchs tremble, lest they make the slightest sound.

Only Aunt Shanyin walked in, quietly picked up a piece of lily incense that the Queen Mother had always liked, put it into the incense burner, and then stood silently in a place where the Queen Mother could hear her call.

After a long time, the Queen Mother slowly closed her eyes. I don't look left and right either. He shouted, "Good sound." ”

"The slave is here." Shanyin stepped forward and thoughtfully handed over a cup of hot ginseng tea, and the Queen Mother took it. I took a sip and put it down. Suddenly, he commanded without a head. "Go get that picture."

Shanyin hesitated, went to open a small box, and took out a painting scroll that was more than a foot wide. But when he handed it to Empress Dowager Mu, he pondered and persuaded, "Why bother to look at something that makes you angry?" ”

Empress Dowager Mu didn't answer, but said, "Open." ”

Shanyin couldn't, sighed secretly, pulled off the tie, unfolded the scroll, and hung it on the opposite wall.

This is an old painting, to say the least twenty or thirty years old, with two bright-eyed girls depicting on it, one sitting in the pavilion playing the piano, and the other standing among the flowers playing the flute.

The girl who played the flute was born extremely beautifully, and between her eyebrows she could vaguely see the appearance of the Empress Dowager Mu when she was young, because she stood further forward, she should be the protagonist in the painting, but the girl sitting in the back pavilion playing the piano was even more eye-catching.

She seemed to be a little older, smiling sideways and looking at the girl who was playing the flute, such a pair of radiant Danfeng eyes, painted vividly, extremely expressive, and only caught people's attention in an instant.

Empress Dowager Mu only glanced at it, and turned her face away without hiding her disgust.

After a long time, she asked, "Elephant?" ”

Shanyin glanced at her a little helplessly, and said embarrassedly, "Just looking at that painting, there are five points of similarity between the eyebrows." ”

Empress Dowager Mu suddenly said, "You say, isn't the mourning family too stingy?" It's just two people who look a little similar, and it doesn't matter at all, and the mourning family actually wants to be angry with her and give her grievances. ”

Shanyin lowered her eyes and followed her heart, "The Queen Mother is the emperor's queen mother, the most noble woman in the world. If you don't like anyone, you can only blame her for her own bad life, and you don't care if she is wronged or not. ”

"Well said!" Empress Dowager Mu suddenly had sharp eyes, with a hint of pleasure after revenge, "The mourning family just hates those eyes, they just don't like her!" ”

As she said this, her eyes fell on the painting again, full of anger, "Since I was a child, what point have I been inferior to you?" Why do you want everyone to like you, and everyone's eyes revolve around you? My brother obviously promised to paint me a portrait, but why did he paint you too, and the painting was so beautiful? My son, I only saw you once when I was a child, and I actually liked you so much, and even specially accepted Zheng Guifei, just because there are two points like you between her eyebrows. And my husband, my husband gave his life to rebel for you! ”

"Meng Junyan!" She stood up and rushed to the painting, her eyes were terrifyingly bright, and she pointed at the woman who was playing the piano and scolded angrily, "Where did I, Mu Xihua, offend you, and you want to humiliate me like this?" You know that Lu Dao Gaoji only has you in his heart, why do you want him to marry me? Be! I like him, but what's your business? ”

She tilted her face and tried her best to calm down for a while, swallowing the tears that were about to fall from her eyes before she spoke again, "Meng Junyan, I have endured you for half my life, I don't want to bear it anymore." No matter how well the girl's dish is cooked, what's the use of giving a gift with care? She looks like you, and I don't like her! She's been wronged, and it's all your fault! ”

The elegant and quiet fragrance of lilies was so weak in such a raging anger that it was swept away and swallowed up in an instant.

Aunt Shanyin watched from the sidelines, looking at the gaffe and angry appearance of the eternally noble and elegant Queen Mother, but there was indescribable pity and sympathy in her eyes.

Her eyes fell on the painting on the wall again, and she sighed deeply in her heart, what if you see it? The Queen Mother won't like it, she will never like it......
