Chapter 104: Breakfast
Ah Zi has no father and mother since she was a child, although she was taken care of by her uncle when she was a child, but that kind of care is like giving birth to an invisible diaphragm, living in her uncle's home, everyone always looks at her with jealousy, and even disgust, in just a few years of living there, her young heart has never felt a little warmth, and now what remains in her memory is only the cowardice of her uncle and the strength of her aunt.
It wasn't until Ah Brown appeared that she had something to rely on for the first time.
And the life in Yaoxian Valley made her understand what it was like to have a home in the true sense of the word.
But at this moment, the old man in front of him gave him the same grandmother-like care that he had never had.
She didn't know if the most noble woman in the West Country usually treated other people with such kindness and kindness, but in Ah Zi's heart, she felt like she was at home at first sight for the Empress Dowager.
It seems that the two have known each other since the previous life.
Just thinking of this, Ah Zi's stomach made a gurgling sound.
She lowered her head and blushed to the base of her ears.
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager glared at Zuo Qiyang, who was sitting on the side, and then took Ah Zi's hand and said with concern: "Is it in a hurry in the morning and there is no breakfast?" ”
After asking, without waiting for Ah Zi to answer, he smiled to himself and said, "Come on, come on, go and sit inside, what kind of food do you usually like to eat?" Let the deep girl order the imperial dining room to make it for you, hurry up and send it over. ”
Looking at the posture, it is the posture of staying here for a long time.
Although he had expected that the Empress Dowager would be like this to Ah Zi, Zuo Qiyang did not expect this care to come so quickly. The momentum is so strong again.
It seems that her old man is really old, like many old people, she puts all her thoughts about loving her grandson on Ah Zi, but at this time, she suffers herself.
Thinking of this, Zuo Qiyang hurriedly stood up, coughed twice, and then stepped forward and reminded in a whisper: "The Empress Dowager, how should my subordinates explain this matter to the emperor?" Forgive my subordinates for their incompetence, and I hope you can make it clear. ”
The Empress Dowager seemed to remember that Zuo Qiyang was still in this palace at this moment. "You're still here?" The look. Looking back at Zuo Qiyang, he pondered for a while before he said, "You just have to hide it from him as you said when you set off before, and he wants to ask." Let's just say that people are with me. Let him come to me. Naturally, I could have gagged him. ”
This is exactly the result that Zuo Qiyang wants: the fault of his failure to complete the task will be taken down by the Empress Dowager for the time being, so as not to have a disagreement between the emperor and himself before.
It seems that Ah Zi is this card. It's right in the arms of the Empress Dowager and her old man.
After getting the order, Zuo Qiyang didn't say a word more, and left Ah Zi in the Sacred Heart Palace with interest, and he went happily.
A few palace maids here got the order, hurried over to set up the tables and chairs for Ah Zi, set up the dishes and chopsticks, and a team of mermaids rushed in, each holding a tray in their hands, and after a while, a table of food was already full.
There are steamed lamb, roasted duck, sauced chicken, canned quail, fried shrimp, pot roasted carp, pine flower tripe; The vegetarian ones include stewed three fresh, boiled winter bamboo shoots, fried tofu, roasted lily, hibiscus swallow vegetables; There are also desserts such as shredded yam, sweet lotus seeds, and almond cheese......
The plate is full of color and beautifully presented, not like eating, but like a work of art.
Ah Zi was dumbfounded, sitting there, speechless for a long time.
When she grew so big, it was the first time she had seen such a table of food, and it was actually prepared for her alone?
She was just a prisoner of war captured by Dongyuan, and such hospitality really made her feel a little ashamed.
"Temporarily let the imperial dining room prepare, all prepared in advance, no way to order, I don't know your taste, you try to see if it fits, if you don't like it, just say, let them do it again." Seeing Ah Zi sitting there motionless, the queen mother thought that the food in this palace was not to her liking, so she explained with a smile.
Ah Zi was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again, and hurriedly said: "No, no, this, this table is too rich, I can't eat it alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it for three days and three nights." ”
The Empress Dowager and Empress Shen looked at each other and smiled when they heard this, amused by Ah Zi's honesty and frankness.
"It's rare for you to enter the palace once, you're a guest, this kind of hospitality is nothing, try it, see if you like it or not." As the queen spoke, she ordered the palace maid to come up and serve Ah Zi with vegetables.
Ah Zi respectfully stood up to thank the palace maid who was serving the vegetables, but was stopped by the queen mother.
The Empress Dowager, who was sitting on the sidelines watching all this, unconsciously darkened her eyes, restrained her smile, and sighed secretly.
The child was as unfortunate as her mother. Looking at it like this, I don't know how much I have suffered before, what a sin......
When Empress Shen saw the Empress Dowager wiping tears alone in the back, she naturally knew what her old man was thinking, and she sighed in her heart, then looked at Ah Zi with a smile and asked, "Ah Zi, how are you massage?" Will these be beaten, pinched, and shouldered? ”
Ah Zi put down his chopsticks and replied cautiously, "I've learned some before." ”
Earlier, I had learned some methods of meridian activation from my master, not only ordinary old people's massages, but also those with disabilities, and Ah Zi had also helped them treat.
It's just that she doesn't dare to say these at will, after all, this is the palace, and I don't know how many imperial doctors are among the best doctors in the country.
The queen smiled and looked at the empress dowager.
Why did she want to test Ah Zi's medical skills here, but she just wanted to find a fat head, keep her by the Empress Dowager's side, please her old man, and find peace of mind for herself.
"Since that's the case, why don't you come over when you have time in the future and help the Queen Mother and her old man massage to loosen your muscles and bones?"
The queen said, as if a woman in an ordinary house invited her friends to visit the door casually, but Ah Zi was in a cold sweat when she heard it.
This forbidden place in the palace, how can a poor person like her enter and leave at will?
"That's ...... Is it appropriate? Ah Zi tilted her head and asked.
"What's out of place? The entire Dongyang Palace belongs to the Empress Dowager and her old man, if she agrees, who else dares to say a word? ”
As she spoke, Empress Shen came to the Empress Dowager with a smile and said, "Imperial Grandmother, you just felt sorry for my weak body, and I couldn't bear to serve you every day, and now I have found a helper for myself, if you really love my grandson and daughter-in-law, but you have to help me keep her?" ”
The Empress Dowager didn't know that Empress Shen was leaving Ah Zi for herself, so she naturally smiled and nodded. (To be continued.) )
