Chapter 391, Mother's Taste
A palace maid echoed, "Yes, the county lord didn't ask us what our names were, only yours, only you are special." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info In this harem, special doesn't necessarily have good fruits to eat! ”
Everyone, you say a word, and Luo Ying took a broom and went to work elsewhere.
Qi Qing'er's master and servant left the palace road and went to the imperial garden.
After passing through a super-handed verandah, I arrived at the palace of Concubine Hui.
In the palace, Concubine Hui was carefully preparing the ingredients for the dim sum on the warm couch, and there was a bunch of cereals, new fruits, and various powders on the desk.
Qi Qing'er and Zhu Wan entered the main hall under the guidance of Concubine Hui's personal maid Lan Yin.
When Concubine Hui saw Qi Qing'er coming, she hurriedly greeted her.
Asked why I suddenly thought of coming to see her, how was I doing outside the palace, had I had breakfast, why did I look thin again, etc.
Qi Qing'er answered them one by one, and then asked Concubine Hui, "Is Niangniang making dim sum?" ”
Concubine Hui turned her head and glanced at the desk, sighed, and said, "Yes!" Jingwen was locked up in the ancestral hall, which was dark and damp, and I sent several sets of quilts into it, but they were useless. You also know that you can't use charcoal fire in the ancestral hall, and now that it's winter, the ancestral hall is really cold and damp. Jingwen's body and bones can stand it, she fell ill after staying for less than two days, and she vomited whatever she ate. Bengong thought about making some snacks to send to her, she loved it, she ate it at first, but then she didn't eat it, saying that it tasted bad in her mouth, and everything she ate was bitter. This can make Hongu anxious, thinking of making some new snacks, something that has not been made before, send it to her, eat something different, maybe it will be better......"
As he spoke, he sighed sadly.
Qi Qing'er was busy sitting down again.
looked at her eyes, only to feel that Concubine Hui was much older.
What a pity for the parents in the world!
No wonder I can't spare extra energy to take care of trivial matters in the palace.
Qi Qing'er was silent for a while, then raised her head and said, "It's better to beg Your Majesty and let Jingwen come out!" ”
Concubine Hui shook her head and said, "You don't know, what rebellious words did she say at the gate of the Heart Cultivation Hall that day, and His Majesty's punishment of her kneeling in the ancestral hall is already light." What's more, His Majesty is suffering from rumors, and Jingwen may run back to make a fuss when she comes out, which will add fuel to the fire and not be good. ”
Qi Qing'er frowned slightly.
Concubine Hui is also not easy, one side is a high-ranking husband, and the other side is a daughter who depends on each other.
She couldn't bear to be hurt by either side.
The partial daughter was imprisoned in the ancestral hall by her husband, one was sick, the other was suffering from rumors, and she was in a dilemma.
Qi Qing'er didn't want to see Concubine Hui sad, so she diverted the topic first.
As soon as she raised her face, Zhu Wan stepped forward and handed the palace card she had collected from the palace maid to Concubine Hui.
Concubine Hui is different, looking at Qing'er with puzzled eyes.
Qi Qing'er heard it when she entered the palace, and said: "These people are idle and love to chew the root of their tongues, and the rumors outside the palace are all told by these people to come in, and they add fuel and vinegar." I just happened to be bumped into today, so I took all their palace cards, and the mother was easy to deal with. ”
Concubine Hui's eyes lit up.
said: "I have long wanted to rectify the palace maid, but there are many people in the palace, even if the palace knows that someone is spreading rumors behind his back, he has no choice but to deal with affairs, and he has no leisure to take care of it, let alone who is making trouble." ”
After a pause, he said: "You also know that she did a lot of things to kill chickens and monkeys with the tyranny that the queen used at the beginning, but this palace always felt that doing so hurt innocent people and damaged her reputation." You searched for these palace cards, I just have the focus, and it is easy to manage. Thank you for your kindness. ”
Qi Qing'er nodded and sat with Concubine Hui in her arms.
Inexplicably, she could feel the breath of her mother in Concubine Hui.
Mother Xu Peiqin also has a compassionate heart, in love is also unswerving, a person in her life, whether poor or rich, she will never give up, even if she pays the price of her life, go to Huangquan, she has to accompany you, never give up.
Qi Qing'er felt that there was a great similarity between Concubine Hui and her biological mother.
Therefore, he rubbed on Concubine Hui's shoulder and said, "I found it by chance, and it is also appropriate to tell Concubine Hui." By the way, there is another palace maid, I didn't search for her palace card, her name is Luo Ying, she looks sincere, so many palace maids are in her own peace, no one takes care of her, and she still cleans carefully. If Concubine Hui's subordinates can't find anyone trustworthy to manage for the time being, they can use her. Only those who are consistent on the outside are trustworthy. ”
Concubine Hui clapped her hand in agreement.
I was also relieved a lot, and said, "Okay, this palace knows." Then he said to Lan Yin: "You go and find the palace maid named Luo Ying." ”
Lan Yin answered and stepped back.
Qi Qing'er asked some more questions about the production techniques of dim sum.
Concubine Hui loves to make dim sum, and when asked, she gushed endlessly, not realizing that Qi Qing'er was just a layman, and explained the ingredients and other production techniques to Qi Qing'er in detail.
Even though Qi Qing'er didn't know Concubine Hui's expression very well, she listened attentively and nodded from time to time.
But as she spoke, Concubine Hui became sad again.
The more he spoke, the shorter he became, and finally he simply threw aside the ingredients he was holding for Qi Qing'er in his hand, and said, "I studied these, and I don't know if Jingwen can eat it." His Majesty promised that I could go to see her from time to time, but it was the limit, and I didn't want to knowingly ask the imperial doctor to go to Jingwen to take a look, the ancestral hall was forbidden, and the ministers were not allowed to enter. So I can only work dim sum, and I hope she can eat it......"
She said so.
Qi Qing'er couldn't force a smile, and wanted to comfort Concubine Hui in a pleasant way, but she couldn't.
She thought silently for a while, and put her arm around Concubine Hui.
said: "Actually, you and I both know that the words that are rumored outside are rumors, including Your Majesty. Why don't you try to tell Your Majesty the twists and turns behind this rumor, in this harem, among so many concubines, Your Majesty will be able to listen to you. ”
Concubine Hui took a piece of fine gauze and covered the ingredients and other things on the table.
Turning his head to look at Qi Qing'er, he said: "The rumor is related to the old case of the Qi Mansion back then, you have been in Beijing for a year, you must have heard it a long time ago." In Qi Mansion because of this case, the male was killed and the female family was exiled, and no one still exists. It can be seen that His Majesty was determined and hated this case back then. Now that there is no descendant of the Qi Mansion suddenly appearing, and he is still in the Qi Palace, can His Majesty not be surprised and feel angry for it?! Plus the rumors that are spreading outside. The dragon's face must not be stained. The reason why His Majesty did not order to hunt down Jian Feng was because doing so would only tell the people of the world that one of his holy decrees back then had not been fully implemented, and there were loopholes in it. In the face of heart-thirsty rumors, you can only turn a blind eye, regardless of whether it is or not. How can this palace go to His Majesty to block him, not to mention that this palace itself is not aware of the truth. ”
Qi Qing'er saw her say this.
Thinking about it, it is the husband who is the most important, this is the character of Concubine Hui.
But in the end, it is not difficult to hear that she actually wants to work hard for Gao Jingwen.
Qi Qing'er thought for a moment and said, "I know a little bit about the truth, I don't know if Concubine Hui is willing to listen to it?" ”
