Luozi Dai is a rare thing, and it is normal for the third concubine to get it, even if she appreciates Meng Jieyu, although her position is not enough, she is the queen's nephew, but it is reasonable. But this Qin Shujiu actually got such a favor, but it makes people can't help but think, Liqing's words may just want to show his favor for Qin Shujiu, but it is also very easy to provoke the resentment of some concubines in the palace, but fortunately, Lai Zhaoyi is not very concerned about that Luo Zidai.

That snail Dai is indeed a rare good thing, Fang used this snail Dai to Qin Shujiu to describe Xi'e eyebrows and Li Qingzheng was worried that no one came to appreciate it, and now Lai Zhaoyi happened to come, he signaled Lai Zhaoyi to step forward and then said: "This snail Dai is very good, and the Xi'e eyebrows with Shu'er are even more delicate, this Xi'e eyebrows are just described by me for Shu'er, Zhaoyi will see how." ”

After speaking, she signaled her to come forward and take a closer look, and Lai Zhaoyi naturally complied, and immediately took a closer look, and after looking at it, Lai Zhaoyi said.

"It is worthy of His Majesty's light description of Emei, with the dark green of this snail Dai, it makes the skin of the fair beauty whiter and fairer, the green snail Dai, the light cheeks and snow, I think this is the fair beauty." Smiled and sighed, Qin Shujiu was indeed coquettish at this time, Lai Zhaoyi was not stingy with his praise, but made Qin Shujiu a little ashamed, so he had to get up and owe Lai Zhaoyi the reputation, and the coquettish appearance was even more shy.

Lai Zhaoyi's reputation is winning Liqing's heart, when he said: "Zhaoyi's words are very meaningful, I just said this, it seems that Zhaoyi has grown over the years." ”

"The concubine has also served by His Majesty's side for many years, even if she can't learn one or two points from His Majesty, these two sentences can still be memorized, but there is nothing to grow or not. The concubines are already dull, but they are not as knowledgeable and cunning as the beautiful women. ”

"Shu'er is indeed smart, but she is a woman who is hard to find in the world." Lai Zhaoyi's words made Liqing make such a judgment on Qin Shujiu, and Qin Shujiu responded at the moment: "Your Majesty praises falsely, my sister praises falsely, where is the concubine faintly smart?" As soon as he said this, he saw Li Qingxiao looking at him with a smile and said, "I said that you can bear it, you can bear it, your mind is exquisite, just like Zhaoyi said, but it is very cunning." ”

Such praise made Qin Shujiu not know how to reply, so he had to smile lightly and thank Liqing for such a compliment, it was about the harem concubines, and after chatting for a while, it made Lai Zhaoyi forget about another thing that came here today. After suddenly remembering it, Lai Zhaoyi said: "I only cared about talking to Your Majesty and My Fair Beauty, but I forgot that in addition to sending the lily lotus seed soup today, the concubine also personally made some pine nut cakes, and sent them to Your Majesty to taste." ”

As soon as these words came out, the accompanying palace people immediately presented the pine nut cake, and this time it was served to the hall by Lai Zhaoyi himself. Holding the pine nut cake to Liqing's side, Lai Zhaoyi put the cake on the desk, looking at the pine nut cake white velvet like snow, square is wafting a faint pastry, Liqing took a piece and tasted it.

The texture of the pine nut cake is delicate, soft and delicious, and after the mouth melts, the lips and teeth are suddenly filled with the unique fragrance of pine nuts, and the taste is excellent and good. After tasting it, he nodded, and Liqing said: "Your pine nut cake is very good, and this craftsmanship has not been reduced by half a point, but I remember that you have not made it for a long time, why did you suddenly think of remaking it today?" ”

Pine nut cake is Lai Zhaoyi's usual, and it is also better than the food game of a few points, Lai Zhaoyi used to make pine nut cake from time to time, but ten years ago, somehow, it suddenly stopped moving. Although Liqing was also surprised before, the pine nut cake could only be tasted occasionally, and Lai Zhaoyi himself was unwilling to do it again, so he didn't dig deeper. In the past ten years, I have almost forgotten that pine nut cake is Lai Zhaoyi's director, so I can't help but ask when I taste it again.

However, there is obviously no special reason for this re-making of pine nut cake, seeing that Liqing asked Lai Zhaoyi like that, he also replied: "It's just that today I saw that the province of the inner servant sent some new pine nuts to Wang Meiren, and the concubine saw that the pine nuts were full in texture and bright in color, and then thought that she had not done it for a long time, so she tried it." I didn't expect that this craftsmanship was not unfamiliar, and it could be appreciated by His Majesty. ”

"Your pine nut cake is really hard to find, even if it hasn't been made for more than ten years, the taste is still so delicate." This praise is heartfelt, and after some praise, Liqing looked at Qin Shujiu and said, "Shu'er doesn't try it?" "That pine nut cake is sighed by Liqing, it is naturally a good thing, he should not forget Qin Shujiu for such a thing, but obviously Qin Shujiu doesn't like this pine nut cake. Seeing that Liqing rewarded her, Qin Shujiu got up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but this pine nut cake concubine can't be touched." ”

"Can't touch it? Why? She couldn't touch the pine nut cake made by Lai Zhaoyi, which made Liqing feel strange, and even Lai Zhaoyi was confused and asked, "Can't touch it?" But this pine nut cake doesn't fit the mind of my fair beauty? ”

"Zhaoyi's pine nut cake is even appreciated by His Majesty, how can it not fit the concubine's mind, the reason why the concubine can't touch this pine nut cake is not because of this cake, but because of the pine nuts." Qin Shujiu replied with a straight face, and that Liqing and Lai Zhaoyi were even more confused, and immediately Liqing asked, "Why can't you touch the pine nuts?" Qin Shujiu replied truthfully: "I don't know the specific reason for the concubine, but when I was a child, the sister-in-law who took care of the concubine in that nunnery once sent pine nuts to the concubine." After eating, I had a rash all over my body, red, swollen, itching and unbearable abnormality, and it took nearly half a month of continuous medicine to alleviate it, so this pine nut concubine was really scared, but she never dared to touch it again. ”

If it was something else that Qin Shujiu dared to eat even if she knew that it was poisonous in front of Liqing, she would not dare to touch this pine nut, and she would not eat this pine nut since she was a child, because once she touched the whole person, she would have to walk outside the palace of the king of Hades. Walking outside the Hades Palace, the redness and swelling on his body was the most unbearable thing for Qin Shujiu to serve Liqing.

In order to capture the king's heart, she will not try any danger in her appearance. It's easy to say if it's anything else, but this pine nut, which is very likely to damage its appearance, is really untouchable. After eating pine nuts, it was like that, but it was also surprising to Liqing, and at the moment it was the pine nut cake that received the favor from Qin Shujiu. However, Lai Zhaoyi didn't expect this, and after hearing this, he was surprised and said: "I didn't expect that the pine nut Yu My Fair Beauty would be such a scourge, and it was the same as the ...... back then."

Halfway through the words, he suddenly stopped because of something, obviously Lai Zhaoyi's subconscious words were what Liqing didn't want to hear, although he stopped in time, Liqing's complexion changed. As if remembering something, the gloomy face no longer had the softness of a light smile, but it was full of the ruthlessness of a king. Suddenly, the gloomy face made Lai Zhaoyi's heart frightened, and at the same time, Qin Shujiu didn't dare to make a sound, but stepped aside and lowered his head.

This anger came extremely suddenly, and no one dared to make a noise at this time to provoke Liqing, and the entire Yanying Hall was suddenly buried in the shadows. Lai Zhaoyi made Long Yan angry because he said the wrong thing and asked Liqing to remember some past things, but no one dared to provoke the saint under this Long Yan's anger, but he didn't know how to avoid Liqing's displeasure When he left here temporarily, Yu Shan on the side opened his mouth. Coming up to the edge of Liqing, Yu Shan Gong said: "Your Majesty, this hour is almost up, and in a while, Taifu Zheng and the three provinces will go to the Yanying Palace to discuss politics." ”

Yanying Hall is a place for discussing politics, but the concubine can't stay for a long time, seeing Yu Shan say this, Liqing also ordered them to retreat first. At this time, his mind was not quiet, and the two of them continued to serve in the Yanying Palace, which inevitably made him remember the past in his heart.

Now that Liqing is on the edge of that angry edge, it is more appropriate to avoid the limelight first, since Yu Shan relieved them of the siege Liqing also ordered them to leave for the time being, Lai Zhaoyi and Qin Shujiu naturally couldn't stay long, so they bowed and then retreated.

When he came out, Qin Shujiu came out with Lai Zhaoyi, and he didn't take the lead behind Lai Zhaoyi, until Lai Zhaoyi got off the palace and Qin Shujiu followed. Because the palace people were not allowed to enter without important affairs, Nanzhi had been waiting outside, and now after seeing Qin Shujiu out of the Yanying Palace, Nanzhi stepped forward and followed behind. After stepping down and standing firmly, Qin Shujiu bowed to Lai Zhaoyi, which was regarded as bowing, and Lai Zhaoyi also nodded before leaving.

has been holding that posture of bowing, until Lai Zhaoyi left Qin Shujiu did not get up, when he was in front of the person, he always had a smile on his face, and he was humble and gentle, which was Qin Shujiu in the eyes of everyone, but the smile on Qin Shujiu's face disappeared after Lai Zhaoyi just walked away. Fading the color of his eyes and the smile on his lips, Qin Shujiu at this time was obviously a little condensed.

The sudden condensation made Nanzhi realize that something was wrong, and immediately walked a few more steps, Nanzhi asked, "Sister?" ”

Just a glance signaled that she didn't want to speak in front of Yanying Palace, and after Nanzhi under the gesture closed down, Qin Shujiu took Liqing's reward and then returned to Zhong Sha Palace.

His Majesty rewarded the newly paid tribute Luo Zidai, which was a good thing, but Qin Shujiu's face didn't look like he was even half happy. The curtain that was very happy to look at the snail Dai also knew something bad after seeing Qin Shujiu and Nanzhi's faces, and then took the snail Dai handed over by Nanzhi, and then led the palace people in the palace to go down with him, and the curtain left the bed with Qin Shujiu and Nanzhi.

There was no one else in the palace, so Nanzhi opened his mouth to ask, and Lai Zhaoyi in Yanying Hall went out of the palace at the same time as her, which always made Nanzhi feel uneasy, and if he didn't ask, he wouldn't have to think about it. Nanzhi is his confidant, and if there is something to tell her, Qin Shujiu told everything that happened in the palace.

When he heard that Lai Zhaoyi actually offered pine nut cake, and Na Liqing also rewarded Qin Shujiu, Nan Zhi was shocked and said: "It's pine nuts, but my sister has eaten it?" ”

"If I had eaten, I wouldn't have been able to talk to you here." That pine nut may be nothing to others, but to her, it is fatal. How could she touch such a terrible food, knowing that it was harmful? Qin Shujiu didn't touch the pine nut cake, but Nanzhi was relieved, but Nanzhi was confused when he finished that breath, looking at Qin Shujiu's eyes with a trace of doubt, Nanzhi asked.

"Songzi, if Nanzhi is not mistaken, the eldest lady seems to be unable to touch Songzi, sister, you say, then Lai Zhaoyi chose to serve the pine nut cake when her sister served in Yanying Palace, what is the purpose?" Because Qin Shujiu is taboo, and the eldest lady is also taboo, so she chose to serve pine nut cake when Qin Shujiu served in Yanying Palace, Lai Zhaoyi's trip inevitably made Nanzhi wonder if she had any calculations in her heart. And Qin Shujiu is also thinking about this, after all, Liqing has mentioned it, and Lai Zhaoyi has not touched the pine nut cake for more than ten years, so how can the good pastry that has not been touched for so long be interested?

The sudden interest inevitably made people think more, not in a hurry but thinking, Qin Shujiu said: "Yes, what does she want to do when she chooses to serve pine nut cake at this time?" This pine nut is the evil remembered by the eldest sister, Your Majesty is not ignorant, Lai Zhaoyi should know. Could it be that people have been in this palace for a long time, and their brains are becoming more and more useless, or is there really something to hide? ”

Whispering softly, Lai Zhaoyi's sudden incident made Qin Shujiu unable to guess, even Nanzhi was puzzled, and asked, "What did Lai Zhaoyi say about pine nuts?" ”

"Although I didn't say it explicitly, but I was halfway through the story, and His Majesty didn't remember that incident at the beginning, but it turned out that Lai Zhaoyi's unintentional mention was remembered." More than ten years is enough for a person to forget many things about another person, and if no one deliberately mentions it, it may not be so easy to remember. But if someone deliberately, even if it is buried deep in the depths of memory, it can be dug up.

Regardless of whether Lai Zhaoyi intended it or not, her pine nut cake today reminded His Majesty of a lot of the past, not only made Liqing angry, but also trapped herself in a difficult place.

I am also taboo about pine nuts, and I am also taboo like the person back then, I am afraid that what Li Qing saw in his eyes at that moment was not Qin Shujiu, but the person back then.

The last glance that Liqing swept down to his body, now that he remembered that Qin Shujiu's body was still trembling slightly, cold, cold, and so cold that he couldn't see any thoughts. Because of Lai Zhaoyi's reasons, Qin Shujiu revealed his shortcomings, and to be honest, Nanzhi was still a little worried, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Sister, you said that the matter of pine nuts will make Your Majesty suspicious of sister?"

If it is because of the pine nuts that people are suspicious, it is really wronged, Nanzhi's worries are not as good as Qin Shujiu's worries, after all, it is not uncommon for people to touch pine nuts in this world, even if they are similar, it is difficult for people to think of that place. Rolling his eyes slightly, he shook his head, Qin Shujiu said: "I'm not worried about this, there are many people who are not sages and have taboos, even if they are the same, it doesn't mean anything." Besides, our Majesty may not want to get that place, after all, Your Majesty is an extremely conceited person. ”

Liqing is conceited, it is because of his conceit that it is impossible to think of that place, after all, the holy decree back then was given by him, and it is impossible to leave any living mouth.

Even like this, Nanzhi's heart still couldn't settle down, and he was quietly thinking about the things in his heart, but the curtain went into the bed and said: "Beauty, there is a word from Lifang Palace, saying that Zhaoyi has summoned you over." ”

"Lai Zhaoyi?" Hearing this, he was even more confused, and Qin Shujiu said, "What is the matter with her summoning me?" Nanzhi was also busy and said, "Sister, is there a deception?" Qin Shujiu said with a smile: "Since everyone has come to invite, even if there is really fraud, I have to go, and then I ...... to talk about it" At this point, he paused and continued: "Besides, what kind of deception can she play with her little mind, even if she really can, she won't grow much if she thinks about it." ”
