"Is that a compliment?" Tong Xue frowned, why did she sound so awkward, and glared at Xu Wenda, "I thought you would say that you are as smart as me, well-behaved, gentle and virtuous, no one will dislike it." ”

Xu Wenda looked at Tong Xue's pouting and frowning, feeling extremely rare, and reached out and pinched Tong Xue's cheek, "I think, I have found a new advantage of yours." ”

Tong Xue winked at Xu Wenda, and raised her eyebrows at the end, "What?" ”

"His skin is as thick as a city wall."

Tong Xue stretched out her hand on Xu Wenda's chest and poked it twice, "You can sleep on the floor tonight." Hum. ”

Tong Yu's matter has just passed, just after ten days of An's birthday, the Xu family ushered in two uninvited guests, Tong Xue saw the person, the whole person was stunned, this person is not Yan Gongzi who came back last time, Xu Wenda said that he is the emperor.

Is the current emperor so idle, he doesn't need to deal with government affairs in the palace all day, and he has so much leisure and time to go to the minister's house as a guest???

Tong Xue looked at Xu Wenda with a sad face, "Why is the emperor here again." ”

Xu Wenda shook his head, "I don't know." ”

This time the emperor came up not alone, behind the emperor, there is also a beautiful woman, even if she has seen a lot of dazzling stars in modern times, when she saw this person, Tong Xue was still amazing.

Even if he is just wearing light makeup, although the clothes on his body are all fine filament materials, they are relatively plain colors, but this does not hide his elegance at all, but has a touch of dusty temperament.

Xiu Wenhao was obviously more happy today, and when he saw Xu Wenda and Tong Xue walking out, he pulled the people around him and said with a smile, "Let me introduce you, this is my ......."

What came out of Xiu Wenhao's mouth was "wife." ”

And the beautiful woman next to him said "concubine." ”

Xiu Wenhao, who was originally full of happiness, suddenly seemed to choke when he heard the woman's words, and the bitterness at the corner of his mouth slowly diffused on his face. Tong Xue really wanted to shrink to the ground at the moment. As if he didn't have zài, he saw the emperor being lowered on the spot, and he always felt cold on his neck.

This work with the king is really not so easy to do. Look at this embarrassing situation, danger is everywhere.

Xiu Wenhao slowed down for a long time before saying, "Last time I told Wan Niang that the food you cooked was exceptionally delicious, and today she asked me to take her out to learn." ”

After finishing speaking, Xiu Wenhao smiled bitterly again. How could his concubine beg him to take her out alone. Such an unruly thing, but the last time he saw him talk about Xu Wenda and his wife, her mood seemed to be better, so he thought of a way to bring her out today, so that she would not be depressed in the palace all day.

Seeing Xu Wenda walk into the room with the emperor, Tong Xue looked at the remaining women, "What do you call them." ”

The woman smiled at Tong Xue, "My surname is Yan, you can call me Mrs. Yan." ”

Surname Yan? The last time the emperor came to be a guest, he also said that his surname was Yanlai, did he follow the surname of this lady?

looked at Mrs. Yan's green jade fingers. At first glance, I knew that it was a ten-finger person who did not touch the spring water, besides, since I knew that this was a mother, where in the palace did I need to do it myself, Tong Xue asked hesitantly, "Do you really want to learn to cook?" ”

But Mrs. Yan seemed very calm, "That's right." ”

Tong Xue was a little apprehensive in her heart, but she still nodded, "Okay." ”

It's actually still a little early before lunch, and besides, cooking is a lot of smoke. She was also worried that the lady next to her would not be able to stand it, so she said, "It's still early, why don't we make some refreshments." ”

The materials in Tong Xue's house are actually relatively limited. Fortunately, Jianye is the capital after all, everything is sold, and the variety is more than a little bit richer than Qingyang Mansion, Tong Xue wanted to eat some sweets a few days ago, so she bought some to make some snacks, which came in handy today. Turning out a bag of cashew nuts from the kitchen, Tong Xue said, "Let's make a cashew nut crisp." ”

With something to do, the two began to move, and it could be seen from Mrs. Yan's jerky movements that she was really a person who didn't cook, just beating an egg, and splashed the egg liquid out of the bowl.

When Mrs. Yan saw Tong Xue looking at her, she immediately looked at Tong Xue with a somewhat shy smile, "I'm sorry, I don't do this on weekdays, and I'm causing you trouble today." ”

Tong Xue shook her hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's like this when I first made it, the first time I made it, I didn't even stir the eggs, I wanted to eat steamed hibiscus eggs at that time, and I put it in without stirring well, and it turned out to be steamed like that, so I don't want to say it." ”

When Mrs. Yan heard Tong Xue say this, she smiled.

Originally, Tong Xue thought that the mother who came out of this palace must not be very easy to get along with, after all, everything on TV is like this, most of them are gentle and freehand in front of the emperor, and arrogant and domineering in front of ordinary people, but I didn't expect this person to be so gentle.

At the beginning, Tong Xue thought that this might be a disguise, but later, Tong Xue had already begun to think, can such a soft temperament really live well in the palace?

Tong Xue added butter to the dim sum she made, which was bought in a shop in Jianye that sold things outside the customs, and when she bought it, Tong Xue was happy to fly, Tong Xue used to make some Western-style dim sum, because Tong Xue preferred something with a milky taste.

But for Mrs. Yan, this practice is relatively new, she has seen a lot in the palace, although many things are not done in person, but she will also know a thing or two, looking at Tong Xue is a bit of a curious practice for her, and she is also interested, "Sister, this practice is fresh, after adding this thing, what will it taste like?" I've never seen a cook make such a snack before. ”

Tong Xue talked about the topic of making dim sum, and her mouth was also gushing, while explaining to Mrs. Yan why she did this, she also talked about a bunch of other similar dim sum practices, and finally told Mrs. Yan which shop in the capital could buy these things.

Kneaded the dough into the desired shape, and Tong Xue baked this batch of cashew butter crisps according to the previous practice of baking mung bean crisp at home.

Tong Xue didn't give it to Xu Wenda and the emperor, in fact, in her heart, she felt that those two might not like such a snack, and the emperor brought this lady out today, it seems that he obviously hopes to make this lady happy, so naturally this Mrs. Yan is satisfied.

Wait until something is baked. Tong Xue was the first to give it to Mrs. Yan, and when she saw that Mrs. Yan was about to eat it, Tong Xue hurriedly stopped it, "Be careful of scalding." ”

Mrs. Yan has a quick hand. Before Tong Xue could shout, she got a snack, and when she heard Tong Xue's words, her hand retracted, and she playfully stuck out her tongue. Looking at the slightly red hand, he blew on it, and then said with a smile, "This is the first time I've been involved in making dim sum from the beginning, but I'm a little anxious." ”

When it cooled, Mrs. Yan picked up a piece and took a bite gently, which made Tong Xue suddenly begin to reflect on whether she was too bold in eating on weekdays, and look at others. This food can be eaten beautifully.

Mrs. Yan looked at Tong Xue with a smile, "Mrs. Xu is really wonderful, this taste is really excellent." I'll take it and give it to them to taste. ”

Tong Xue watched Mrs. Yan take the snacks and go to the room where the emperor was talking, and breathed a sigh of relief, even if this lady is very easy to get along with, it is also a mother, as long as she thinks of the identity of this person, Tong Xue's nerves have been tense. But fortunately, we got along fairly well.

Tong Xue followed behind Mrs. Yan, carrying a pot of hot water in her hand, and the two had been drinking tea and chatting in the room for a while. You have to bring a jug of water in.

As soon as she entered the door, Tong Xue saw Mrs. Yan say in a swaggering manner, "Cousin, come and try it, I made it myself." ”

Then Tong Xue saw the eunuch she saw last time who had inserted a silver needle into the dish and stepped forward again, probably wanting to taste a piece. Try the poison first, but this time, the emperor waved the man away, pinched a piece directly, put it in his mouth, and then said with a smile to Mrs. Yan, "The dim sum you made is really delicious in this world." ”

But no matter what, Tong Xue, who had been busy for a long time, finally sent these two nobles away, and before leaving, Mrs. Yan also took Tong Xue's hand and said, "My sister is really a wonderful person, not only is she easy to get along with, but the snacks she makes are also extremely chic and delicious, I hope to see you again in the future." ”

If Tong Xue didn't know the identities of these two people, she felt that it didn't matter, she would come, but after knowing the identities of these two people, Tong Xue really didn't want her family to shine and usher in the most precious person in the world.

And she always felt that there was a strange feeling between the emperor and this lady, and it seemed to be a little alienated.

Xu Wenda said to Tong Xue at night, "The emperor said that I should go to Lingnan, and the paperwork will come down in a few days." ”

Tong Xue thought about going to Lingnan, and felt relieved, it was much better than going to the other two places, and sure enough, after there was a comparison, it was gratifying, Tong Xue thought of her younger brothers and sisters at home, "If we go to Lingnan, what will we do at home?" ”

Tong Xue said, "It's better to write a letter and ask Wen Yuan to bring his family over after arriving at the place, after all, you have to go out for three years, which is not a short time." ”

Compared with Tong Xue's emotional thoughts, Xu Wenda was much more sober, "My idea is actually not to take them there first, or to wait until we arrive in Lingnan to see the situation over there, we will stand on our heels first, and then it's not too late to let them come over." ”

Lingnan is a little richer than the other two, but the danger is still in place, and it is not a wise move to rush over with the whole family without finding out what is going on there. However, looking at Tong Xue's face with reluctance, Xu Wenda still said, "Before I take office, I still have a few months to go home, and I still have time to think about this problem, but I am not in a hurry." ”

When Tong Xue heard Xu Wenda's words, she also knew that she was perfunctory, so she had already made a decision in her heart, even if she thought about it for him again, he was afraid that it would still be this idea, so he didn't ask anymore.

Instead, she remembered today's lady, Tong Xue asked curiously, "Today's ...... What the hell is going on with the mother? ”

Xu Wenda said, "She is the emperor's original match and the emperor's cousin." ”

Tong Xue's surprised mouth opened slightly, since it was the original match, why did that lady say that she was a concubine?

Xu Wenda seemed to see Tong Xue's doubts and explained, "Now it's a concubine." ”

Sure enough, the royal affairs are very understandable, Tong Xue asked in surprise, "Huh?" And who is the Queen? ”

In fact, this matter is not a secret in Jianye, people in the officialdom probably know it, but it is about the emperor, no one dares to say it on the surface, Xu Wenda explained to Tong Xue, "The emperor's mother Yan family is weak, and it is not able to support the emperor to win the heir, there are so many brothers in front, although many years have passed since the battle for the heir, but now I hear people talk about it, it is also quite dangerous, and the emperor probably does not have that mind." ”

The emperor back then was also a non-contestant character, although he was in the royal family, he knew that he had no reliance since he was a child, and in the face of such a strong brother, he naturally couldn't have any strange thoughts.

But the truth is so impermanent, those princes who thought they were strong enemies all fell one by one in the battle for succession, and there is no obstacle in front of them, when the opportunity is in front of you, is it up or not.

The emperor didn't have the heart to win the heir before, that was because he knew that it was impossible, when the impossible became possible, being in the royal family, as a prince, he was blessed, how could he not have the slightest covetousness for the supreme position?

So the emperor, when he was still a prince, was moved.

Xu Wenda continued, "But the princes in front of me have all had accidents one after another, and the emperor will have a chance." ”

"But it's not enough to have a chance, and the emperor back then was not the only one left." If you want to overpower the other remaining princes, you must have someone to support you, "At this time, the Wei family behind the queen proposed to help the emperor win the heir, but asked to make the daughter of the Wei family the queen. ”

"The emperor agreed." Tong Xue's tone was an affirmative sentence, and she suddenly felt a little sorry for that Mrs. Yan, no wonder she was sad even when she smiled. If the emperor is not the emperor, he who did not participate in the heir may already be an idle king at this moment, and Mrs. Yan, who is still the princess, is his wife, but now......

Xu Wenda nodded, "Hmm." The emperor agreed. At the beginning, it was said that the Wei family asked the emperor to divorce his wife and remarry, but the emperor did not agree, he should still like Yan Guifei, and finally only married the queen as a flat wife. After ascending the throne, the daughter of the Wei family was the queen, and the Yan family was the concubine, which is the one you saw today. ”

In the final analysis, among the rivers and mountains and beauties, the emperor chose the former, so he led the estrangement between the two people.

Tong Xue sighed, if she hadn't entered the palace, Mrs. Yan might be a bright woman now, "I'll just say, Mrs. Yan's temperament doesn't look like she is suitable for the palace, it turns out that there is such a twist and turn in the story." ”
