Yu Qiaoben cheered up, not wanting them to see the traces of his crying, but he didn't think that Zhou Zhenwei seemed to be rough and unruly, but he was a rough and fine character, which was a bit of a storm, how could he hide it.

Listening to him say warm words, let him clumsily wipe his tears, although his cheeks also rubbed painfully, but he was also in love. Yuqiao's eyebrows and eyes were full of lingering meaning, and he looked at him slightly, and after a while, he finally asked with a smile: "It's noon, what do you want to eat?" ”

Zhou Zhenwei heard the hollowness in his stomach at this time, and he must have been heard by the girl. In the past few days, he has not returned home in order to investigate the case, and has only made do with Yanjing Mansion or the Criminal Department, and he is naturally hungry and full of food.

He retracted his hand, but he was still calm, and thought about it: "I still have to go to the palace later, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, it is better to be simple!" ”

Yu Qiao looked at Zhou Zhenwei, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was still tired, he had the intention to get him some good food, but he was in a hurry to leave, he was really in a hurry, he hesitated for a while, and happened to find Cai Fu, looked at Yu Qiao, ran over and asked with a smile: "Only a merchant from Shangxi Town came to the city to buy, and found it outside the house, saying that Aunt Liu was holding a bamboo basket of red cherries to Miss, just picked, and it was very fresh, and Aunt Zhao asked the slave to ask how to deal with it!" ”

Yu Qiao already had an idea at this time, and instructed Cai Fu: "Take half of the cherries in that basket, and then take a bamboo basket to pack, and bring it over, this is to be sent to Lord Zhou's house, be careful with your hands and feet, don't break it." You tell Aunt Zhao again, remember that she boiled a pot of wild duck soup in the morning, this should be the time when the soup is the thickest, scoop some out and then put two duck legs, choose a few pieces of duck breast, and make a bowl of duck scallion and pepper noodles! ”

Cai Fu responded and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Yuqiao, she thought for a while and added: "I sent some high-quality bird's nest from the front palace, you let Aunt Zhao weigh fifty grams, don't ask for more, just put it in the soup noodles and boil it together!" ”

Zeff nodded, and then went out the door. Yuqiao turned around, but saw that both of them were looking at her, Bixiu pursed her lips, and Zhou Zhenwei, the corners of her lips were slightly curved, and her eyes were burning. It's piping hot! Where does that face look like a cold-faced Yama? A little warmth is.

Yuqiao was stared at by Zhou Zhenwei's big eyes, and was ashamed, and wanted to find an excuse to cover it up, but after thinking about it, it was better to forget it, only the jade cheeks were slightly drunk, and asked with a shallow smile: "Lord Zhou wants to ask Bixiu, but can you finish asking?" ”

Bixiu hurriedly said: "When Lord Zhou asked, the slave remembered something!" Queen Wang added illness, all because she once led the prince back from the Warm Heart Pavilion, and I heard that the emperor praised the six princes for their knowledge. She came back anxious and annoyed, secretly cried for a few days, and occasionally heard Qingfeng mention that she was worried that the concubine was now in the prime of the emperor's favor, and the six princes would be able to do learning, and they were quite loved by the emperor, but I was afraid that in a few days, not to mention the position of the prince, it would be more difficult to protect the position of the prince! ”

Yu Qiao was puzzled and said: "Now it seems that the emperor has a deep affection for the queen and the queen, how could she have these thoughts!" ”

Bixiu sighed: "The slave was still young at that time, but I felt that the queen was too suspicious, but now I think about it, but I can't complain about her." There are so many ladies in the palace, all of them are as beautiful as fairies, and the emperor's heart can no longer accommodate only one person! ”

Zhou Zhenwei said: "After the emperor is crowned with imperial power, everyone starts from the overall situation and focuses on national affairs. Queen Wang is a smart person, she must have seen the clues, and she naturally lived hard if she was powerless. ”

As he was talking, a little maid came with half a basket of cherries, and washed a plate and brought it, red and bright, Bixiu hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, Zhou Zhenwei took advantage of this moment, and whispered to Yuqiao: "A few days ago, I went to see the concubine in the cold palace, the shape is miserable, no matter how much grace there is, it is all the emperor's thoughts." ”

He suddenly remembered the yellow sachet on the prince's waist, and said with a sour eyebrow: "No matter what Yuqiao thought about the prince before, it is good to abandon it now!" "Think about the concubine's withered face and being snubbed in every way, and then look at the little Qiao'er in front of him like that, he is afraid that he will not live, and he will be angry to death.

Yuqiao was inexplicable by what he said, how could she ever think about the prince? was about to open his mouth to ask for an understanding, but when he saw Bixiu handing the cherry in front of him, he took one and took it in his mouth, and it was really sweet and delicious.

Bixiu said with a smile: "In the past, Queen Wang loved to eat cherries, and there was a cherry tree in the imperial garden. Thinking about the year of Queen Wang's funeral, she also deliberately washed and dried the leftover cherry pits, saying which empty garden she wanted to plant in, and everyone would have cherries to eat in the future! ”

"Queen Funeral, what about those cherry pits?" Zhou Zhenwei asked, looking at Yuqiao, seeing that she might have eaten a sour, he bit his lips tightly, his willow eyebrows frowned, his eyes were half-open and half-squinted, and he shook lightly, which made his mouth taste sour, and he couldn't help laughing.

Bixiu didn't know what he was thinking, tried to recall the meeting, shook his head and said, "I don't know where I went!" Later, there was civil strife in the palace, and who cared about this insignificant thing. ”

At this time, there was a small servant outside, and came in with a food box, Bixiu stepped forward to open it, and there was a bowl of fragrant, steaming bird's nest duck scallion and pepper noodles inside, and three small plates of accompaniments, she put it on the table in front of Zhou Zhenwei, and took the bowl and spoon to him.

Zhou Zhenwei picked a chopstick noodle and ate it, and he only felt that the taste was delicious, better than all the times he had eaten in the past. Yu Qiao saw that he was eating sweetly, and couldn't help but sit across from him, holding his cheeks, and only pursing his lips and smiling.

After he ate almost well and drank tea and rinsed his mouth, Yuqiao asked, "Are you leaving?" Looking at the nod, he hurriedly said, "I'll ask Bixiu to take you to my father's study, he has something to ask you!" ”

When Zhou Zhenwei heard this, how dare he slack off, he hurriedly stood up to leave, walked a few steps but turned around, approached Yuqiao and said roughly: "Yuqiao doesn't need to worry, I have already investigated this case, you just stay at home, don't go anywhere, just wait for my news." ”

Looking at Xiao Qiao'er's apricot face and peach cheeks, smiling and nodding, very gentle and obedient, her heart was sour, and she couldn't help but reach out and want to touch her face, but she was afraid of rubbing the red and tender, so she had to grit her teeth, turn around and stride away

Zhou Zhenwei took advantage of the opportunity to go to Yanjing Mansion, went back to his home by the way, handed over the cherries sent by Yuqiao to the little maid, and went to his own room, took a shower, changed his clothes, and was about to leave refreshed, but when he passed by the garden, he met the eldest aunt who had not seen him for many days.

Although there was a gap in his heart, he still stepped forward to pay respect, and his face was calm, neither cold nor light.

The eldest lady didn't care, she stepped forward and pulled his sleeve without letting go, blushing and shouting: "Zhenwei hasn't returned these days, the old lady doesn't think about tea and dinner for your family, and her body is not as good as before, you will come back today, just hurry up and take a look!" ”

Zhou Zhenwei's heart sank, his eyes widened, he didn't speak, he brushed off the eldest lady's hand without a trace, and hurriedly walked in the direction of his grandmother's room. (To be continued.) )
