Chapter 138: Woe to Water
Xiaofuzi came back and said, "The prince invited the princess to eat first." ”
In other words, the matter has not been worked out yet. I'm afraid this matter is much more serious than she thought.
"Tell the kitchen, make a few good dishes and send them to Biyunju, and ask the prince and the gentlemen to finish their meals and then discuss them," Cui Keyin said.
Jade agreed, and went to pass the word.
Cui Keyin passed the meal here, sat alone at the table, looking at the table full of dishes, and felt very unaccustomed. It's only been a long time since they got married, and they're used to having him by their side, and the two eat together, talk together, and they are paired everywhere. Now there is one less person around, and my heart is empty.
Seeing her holding chopsticks and carrying rice grains, looking disgusted, Lu Ying couldn't help but persuade: "Don't worry too much about the princess, the Queen Mother has always believed in Buddhism, and Master Shi Jia has promised to eliminate the disaster, but it is just a false alarm." ”
Thought she was too worried to eat? Cui Keyin shook her head and said, "There's nothing to worry about, it's just that the soldiers are coming to block it, and the water is flooding." ”
Looking at Li Xiuxiu's expression, she did it respectively. But the diorama is placed in the queen mother's bedroom, and Li Xiuxiu is in Fengyi Garden, will she not be able to do it? If you want to say that it is Wang Zhe, firstly, Zhou Heng did not offend him clearly, and secondly, he couldn't enter the queen mother's bedroom.
Cui Keyin didn't expect Ma Liang, because Ma Liang was quite principled compared to Wang Zhe. It is true that he is a eunuch who loves money, but he has not extinguished his conscience. On the day of the Queen Mother's birthday feast, how serious is the consequences of breaking the Queen Mother's beloved diorama, will you not understand? Besides, he had no motive to do so.
"The princess is right." Lu Ying gave Cui Keyin a dish and said, "This boiling cabbage is what the cook tried to make." Princess, please try it. "Sandwich a chopstick's verdant cabbage sum into the plate in front of Cui Keyin.
Cui Keyin understood that she was coaxing herself to eat more, thinking about Zhou Heng in Biyunju, and said, "Can you send food over?" ”
Lu Ying said: "The pearl was sent over." ”
Soon, Pearl came and said, "The gentlemen have praised the princess for her compassion." ”
Cui Ke barely ate a little, then put down his chopsticks, looked at the dark sky outside, and said, "Let's go outside for a walk." ”
"It's too cold outside, so it's better to take a walk and wait for the sun to come out tomorrow and get warmer." Lu Ying persuaded.
Cui Keyin shook her head and put on a large red sable fur cloak. Only bring a few maids with Lu Ying. Then there was a small palace man with a lantern carrying a palace lantern to illuminate the way and go out of the Purple Smoke Pavilion.
The hosta stood under the corridor of the ear room, watching Cui Keyin and his party go out of the courtyard gate, with mockery on her face. I heard that the Queen Mother brushed her sleeves away at the banquet. I guess I blamed her. The two had been dining together before. The prince didn't come back tonight. It seems that there is a rift. You have to make the most of this opportunity.
Cui Keyin didn't know that there was a cold gaze behind her, and she watched her go away.
Walked for half a day. As soon as I looked up, the front courtyard gate was full of light. She unconsciously walked to Biyunju.
Biyunju has always been guarded like an iron bucket, full of bright guards and dark guards. But when I looked at the door, there was a quietness.
Cui Keyin walked up the steps, Lu Ying hesitated, the corners of her mouth buzzed, and finally she didn't say anything, and lifted her skirt to follow.
Walking through the peach groves and on the cobblestone paths, there were still no guards to appear. She looked around, only the cold wind blew across her cheeks, cold and biting, and there was no one.
When he came to the bottom of the study steps, Huanxi, who was waiting under the porch, trotted over and saluted, "Princess." ”
Cui Keyin's eyes stopped on the window lattice that showed bright candlelight, and said, "Is the prince still deliberating?" ”
Before the words fell, the door of the study opened, and Zhou Heng walked out and said, "The princess is here, please come in." ”
Behind him, a group of staff members rushed out, and at the front was an old man in his fifties. The old man stared at Cui Keyin, looking very unhappy, and reluctantly bowed: "I've seen the princess." Before Cui Keyin could shout, he had already straightened up and said with a straight face: "The study is heavy, the princess should not set foot in it, and please ask the princess to respect herself." ”
Yo, it's a lesson. Lu Ying raised her eyebrows, wanting to sneer at each other.
Cui Keyin understood Lu Ying's temperament, waved her hand, and was about to speak, Zhou Heng had already said: "This king and the princess are not separated from each other, Mr. Meng is too worried." ”
Mr. Meng didn't dare to show Zhou Heng's face, so he didn't say much, bowed, and retreated with his staff.
Cui Keyin obviously felt Mr. Meng's hostility towards him, and when he entered the study with Zhou Heng, he immediately asked, "But I disturbed you?" "Otherwise, why is Mr. Meng so angry?
"Nope. We're just done talking. Zhou Heng helped Cui Keyin sit down and said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to him." He often said that he was in trouble and was hostile to all women. Seeing Cui Keyin's puzzled face, he explained: "He was married twice when he was young, but he was divorced by the woman, and he was sad and never married. ”
I see. Cui Keyin smiled and said, "Did he eat the food sent by Pearl?" ”
"Eat." Zhou Hengguan said: "Eat more than anyone else." ”
After eating what she sent, and still disgusting her for being red-faced? Cui Keyin smiled: "He is not young, and there should be someone to wait." It is better to reward her with a kabuki who is willing to leave the palace and serve him in food and daily life, so that he can concentrate more on running errands for the prince. ”
Zhou Heng clapped his hands and said, "This is a good idea. ”
Cui Keyin instructed to go down, and Liu Yongzhi immediately went to ask for the consent of the older Kabuki who wanted to find a home, and sent it to Mr. Meng.
There is a group of kabuki in the palace of the king of Jin, and Zhou Heng rarely listens to music once a year, and these kabuki are idle. There is such a good thing, how can you not want to?
Cui Keyin was avenged by Mr. Meng for giving her a look, and another good thing was accomplished, so she asked Zhou Heng: "Can you eat dinner?" Still hungry? I asked the stove not to turn off the fire, and let the red beans make whatever you want. ”
Zhou Heng didn't want to eat, but he heard Lu Ying say that Cui Keyin didn't eat a few bites for dinner, so he said: "Let the red beans make a few dishes you like to eat, and we will go back to Ziyan Pavilion." ”
He clasped her hand and found that his little hands were cold, and couldn't help but say, "It's cold outside, why don't you wear a little more?" ”
This is a cloak and comes out.
"I just wanted to walk around the Purple Smoke Pavilion, but I didn't expect to come here all at once." Cui Keyin stood up and said, "Let's go back." ”
The two returned to the Purple Smoke Pavilion, Zhou Heng held Cui Keyin in his arms, warmed her hands, and said: "I found out, the diorama was broken by Ma Liang who asked his godgrandson to call away the palace person in charge of the cat and let the cat into the queen mother's bedroom." ”
"Ma Liang?" Cui Keyin's eyes widened and said, "Why did he do this?" ”
Every time she saw Ma Liang, she was polite and never neglected him. Since last year's Ming Road, after obtaining the consent of Emperor Zhi'an, every New Year's Festival, the festival of the Jin Palace's festival is not missing his share.
"Someone caught a glimpse of Li Xiuxiu and Ma Liang whispering under the corridor, which is estimated to be related to Li Xiuxiu." Zhou Heng said lightly.
Cui Keyin was very surprised: "How can Li Xiuxiu send Ma Liang?" ”
"I don't know yet, it's being investigated." Zhou Heng exuded cold air all over his body, and he wanted to be so yin, he didn't want to live.
At this time, Master Shi Jia came to the palace gate and handed a letter to the forbidden army guarding the palace gate, and the forbidden army stuffed it through the crack in the door. (To be continued......)
