Chapter 493: Ballasting

Zhou Heng specially put down government affairs and accompanied Cui Keyin for an afternoon, and it was not until dinner was eaten that Huanxi moved the fold over for approval. Although he was busy with government affairs, he was still in a place where Cui Keyin could see it.

Cui Keyin leaned on the big pillow to read, raising her eyes to look at him from time to time. Under the candlelight, his white face was solemn, sometimes frowning and pondering, and sometimes lifting the red pen to write a few words on the fold.

The room was quiet, and occasionally the candle flame burst lightly, making a soft "pop" sound.

As the night deepened, Cui Keyin put down the book and walked out, and went outside to tell Hongdou to prepare supper. Hongdou replied: "It's been prepared for a long time, and tonight is chicken soup, okay?" ”

Zhou Heng likes to eat chicken legs, and among the ten suppers, Cui Keyin has two or three orders to prepare chicken soup or boil a pot of porridge and make a few dishes, among which there must be two chicken legs.

"Okay." Cui Keyin said: "Bring it up." ”

After a while, Hongdou came in with a food box, and glanced at Zhou Heng, who was sitting like a pine buried in the pile of folds, and I didn't know why, I remembered Moyu's embarrassment last night, and smiled.

Zhou Heng smelled the sweet smell, just raised his head, his eyes first stopped on Cui Keyin's face, and then he caught a glimpse of the smiling face of the red bean out of the corner of his eye. He glanced at Cui Keyin again, she lifted the lid of the pot to look at something seriously, and then looked at the red beans, smiling brightly.

After the red beans retreated, Cui Keyin scooped up the chicken soup, put a chicken leg in a bowl, put it on the kang table, and said, "Come and eat supper." ”

Zhou Heng put down the red pen in his hand and said, "What were you laughing at just now?" ”

Cui Keyin really didn't pay attention, and while scooping another bowl of chicken soup, she said, "Did she smile?" ”

"Hmm." Zhou Heng sat on the couch, scooped a spoonful of chicken soup and took a sip.

Cui Keyin thought for a while and said, "I don't know, I don't care about her." ”

"Okay." Zhou Heng responded, lowered his head and concentrated on eating.

After eating supper, Zhou Heng approved another half an hour, and the two cleaned up and rested.

The next day, Cui Keyin was still asleep, and the Queen Mother had sent someone to reprimand her. Naturally, no one could see her. was Lu Ying said: "The queen hasn't gotten up yet." Do you dare to wake up the queen? "I sent it back.

Lu Ying was afraid that the Queen Mother would come and go crazy by herself, so she asked Mama Zhao to lead someone to guard the gate of Anhua Palace, and advised: "The Queen Mother is here, only play Tai Chi with her." Don't provoke her, lest you wake her up. ”

But the Queen Mother didn't come, it was the Yang family who came, and she was accompanied by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

"The queen hasn't gotten up yet?" Yang whispered: "Anyway, it's okay to be idle, I'll wait a while." ”

Naturally, Lu Ying couldn't let her stand outside and wait. I invited her to the banquet room, served tea and snacks, and couldn't help but glance at the little girl a few times. The little girl looked delicate and graceful, and when she saw Lu Ying looking at her, she blushed and lowered her head.

Yang said: "This is Aunt Lu Ying, come and pay tribute." ”

The little girl got up and saluted and said, "The Yang family's daughter Wan'er has seen Aunt Lu Ying. ”

Lu Ying was a little surprised, stepped forward to help her up, and then looked at Yang.

Yang smiled, "This is my cousin." She was young when I entered the palace, and I hadn't seen her in years. Come into the palace to visit me today. I happened to come to see your mother, so I brought her with me. ”

Such a coincidence? Lu Ying muttered in her heart, smiled kindly, and said, "It turned out to be Miss Yang, the slave is so polite." ”

She was just about to salute, but Yang Wan'er stopped her and said, "My aunt has worked hard to serve the queen's mother, how can Wan'er be worthy of her aunt's courtesy?" ”

Very well-behaved and sensible.

Lu Ying said: "Niangniang should also get up, and the slave maid will go and take a look." ”

Yang nodded, and Yang Wan'er sat upright with a smile.

Lu Ying waited outside for about a quarter of an hour. Cui Keyin woke up and called someone to come in to serve. Lu Ying went in to wait for her to change her clothes, and said, "The slave thinks that Niangniang still has to be careful to guard against Yang Niangniang." ”

She and the Queen Mother are aunts and nephews. No matter how good Cui Keyin is, once the Queen Mother is involved, she will still stand on the Queen Mother's side. Yang Wan'er didn't appear early, she didn't appear late, but the Queen Mother jumped out to seize power and she appeared, could this be accidental?

Cui Keyin sat in front of the mirror and combed her hair by amber. He said a faint "um" and said, "You sue them, and I'll go." ”

When Yang Wan'er saw Cui Keyin, she first saluted very respectfully, then looked at her curiously, and said, "I've always heard that Niangniang is beautiful, but I didn't expect it to be so beautiful." Although I am a woman, I immediately fell in love with my mother when I saw it. ”

Yang glared at her and reprimanded: "Here it is again, so big and small, I won't take you out in the future." ”

Yang Wan'er stuck out her tongue, like a well-behaved little girl without scheming.

Cui Keyin also looked at her and said, "You are also very beautiful." Why didn't you go to the palace to play often? ”

"My father won't let me, for fear that I will cause trouble." Yang Wan'er said with a smile: "I have long wanted to meet my mother, and today I finally got my wish." ”

Cui Keyin smiled but said nothing.

The three of them sat down to drink tea, and Yang talked about the Queen Mother: "I was so angry, and I hated that the place where I lived was not warm, and said that I hadn't made new clothes in the past two years, alas, she was picky." ”

Cui Keyin said lightly: "I was negligent." Lu Ying, wearing the Catering Bureau to cut new clothes for the Queen Mother. ”

Green Ying answered.

Yang Shi seemed to be a little reluctant, and said: "The weather is about to get warmer, and the winter clothes can't be worn for a few days at this time, so they have to be put away." It will take another while for the spring clothes to be worn. It's not the same as the next month's spring dress. ”

Cui Keyin's tone was still light, and said, "Then the winter clothes and spring clothes will be cut together." Let's take a look at the people again, the earth dragon can't be warm, and the palace people who can't keep the fire are not satisfied, so pick a few diligent and rough palace people to replace these people. ”

Lu Ying responded again.

Both of them know that the Queen Mother will not succeed in seizing power, which is a change of method to find trouble.

Yang sighed: "I bothered you. ”

Cui Keyin smiled and said, "These are all things I should do, what bother?" He added: "The queen mother asked me to calm down in the morning and dusk, and I really couldn't pull away." In front of the mother, there is a sister-in-law. After thinking about it, he said: "I have an internal servant here, and he is very clever, so it is better to give it to the queen mother, if there is something missing, let him run errands." ”

Yang didn't expect that Cui Keyin was not only not angry at all, but also really thought about the Queen Mother, and was a little stunned, and said, "This ......"

Cui Keyin called Xiaofuzi in and said, "You go to the Queen Mother's palace to listen to the call, what the Queen Mother lacks, what is short, even if you come to report, I will have all the people." ”

Xiaofuzi had an expression of wanting to cry, but he didn't dare not go, and said aggrievedly: "Niangniang, the queen mother's temper is not very good, and the slave is very afraid." ”

Don't accidentally die in Xiyuan, even if you become a ghost, you will be a fool.

Even though the Yang family suspected that Cui Keyin had installed someone's hand, seeing Xiaofuzi like this, his suspicions suddenly disappeared.

"There is no shortage of manpower in the queen mother, why don't I tell her what is missing, what is short, even if someone is sent to fetch it."

Cui Keyin said: "Sister-in-law's words are bad. The queen mother has always been pampered, what is not easy to use, how can she reach out to us juniors? Someone had to keep an eye out for her at all times. ”

The Yang family was greatly moved, but he didn't expect Cui Keyin to really think about the Queen Mother wholeheartedly. (To be continued.) )
