Chapter 523: The Arrival of the Outer Country
Concubine Ruan said to Mama Lin, this is the fifth time since she came back, Mama Lin has been there four times, and the little emperor still has no intention of coming out. Outside the Qiankun Palace, there were already a bunch of minions from various palaces who inquired about the news, persuaded them, and waited to serve, but no one dared to enter.
"Why don't I go and take a look~ Anyway, it's just because of me, even if the emperor blames him, I can let the master get out of the way."
"No! You can't go anywhere now! Nowadays, there are many eyes and ears outside, and the wind is loud, if you are seen by someone who cares, you will be in big trouble! Leave all these things to me, and you can wait here with peace of mind! ”
Concubine Ruan shouted loudly, but the concern in her words did not decrease at all, Ruoshui was stunned, and did not insist on anything. She could see that Concubine Ruan was really protecting her, although the real reason was still unclear to her, but at least staying in this Chengxiang Palace, as long as Concubine Ruan was still there, she would be safe.
"Forget it, I'll go there myself~"
Mama Lin was just about to go out, but Concubine Ruan suddenly stood up and walked straight out. Mama Lin was about to go out with her, but Concubine Ruan said something to her.
"You accompany Ruoshui here~ Be sure to let her not be impulsive, don't go anywhere!"
"Yes."
So, Concubine Ruan went out, and Ruoshui could only stay here, facing Mama Lin, an expressionless old woman.
"Mama Lin, do you know where Lu Li is?"
Regarding the little emperor's affairs, although she doesn't need to care anymore. But she can't continue to be ignorant about her godmother. Count it out, since you can't go out. Then you can only wait for someone else to send the news in. Now it seems that the people around Concubine Ruan have the deepest contact with her is Lu Li, maybe for the sake of her letting Lu Li go to Concubine Ruan, maybe she can tell her something.
"No, he was ordered by the concubine to run errands."
"And when will he be back?"
"This old slave doesn't know. Miss Xiao should care about herself first~ After all, the person who is difficult to protect herself is you, not Lu Li. ”
Mama Lin still looked cold and dead, as if the kindness she had just given in the dining tower was a flash in the pan. However, Ruoshui didn't expect her to be very enthusiastic, but she didn't think she would lie, maybe Lu Li really went out to do errands, after all, since she came to the palace. Except after the first day of meeting. I never saw him again.
Unable to find Lu Li, Ruoshui could only stay here and wait for Concubine Ruan to come back. However, Concubine Ruan never came back for a day and a night, and it was not until the evening of the third day that she dragged her tired body into the door.
"Mother, why are you only coming back now?"
In fact, from the night of Concubine Ruan's departure, Mama Lin had already begun to send people to inquire about the news of the little emperor. However, not only did the little emperor not come out. Even the mother didn't move. Except for confirming that Niangniang had entered the Qiankun Palace, no other news came out.
"Your Majesty...... I can't persuade you~"
Concubine Ruan sat down. took a sip of the tea offered by Mama Lin, and then put the tea down with a frown.
"Otherwise, I'll go~"
Ruoshui hurriedly stood up.
She didn't realize how serious it was at first, but when Concubine Ruan hadn't come back for so long, she felt that something wasn't quite right. Finally, Concubine Ruan came back safely, and she didn't seem to be injured, so Ruoshui was relieved. However, this kind of situation where you can only be afraid of others because of your own affairs, Ruoshui doesn't want to experience it anymore. Therefore, even though Concubine Ruan had emphasized that she could not go again, she still asked without hesitation, and she was ready to insist on going.
"Nope."
Sure enough, Concubine Ruan refused, and just when Ruoshui was still thinking about fighting for it, she spoke again.
"The queen mother brought a group of people, saying that you are a demon girl, bringing disaster to the country and the people, and seducing the young master, and she is already discussing how to execute you. If you go out now, you will be caught by them, and if you go out again, it will be difficult for the mourning family to do it. ”
"But I ......"
"However, the mourning family heard a news, it is your chance to turn over, it depends on whether you are willing to do it."
When Ruoshui was about to say more, Concubine Ruan suddenly interrupted her words again and looked at her seriously.
Ruoshui looked at Concubine Ruan's expression for a long time, and then asked softly.
"You're not trying to get me married, are you?"
Concubine Ruan was also stunned by her question, and then turned her blank in anger.
"This kind of thing, even if you want to marry, no one will dare to marry you."
"That's good, that's good...... What's that? ”
Sure that he didn't have to be someone else's concubine anymore, Ruoshui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Cooking, cooking is your chance, are you still willing to participate?"
"What? Of course! ”
Ruoshui stood up excitedly, and the surprise was beyond words.
She originally wanted to participate in the cooking ceremony, but from the time she received the invitation to the present, she has gone around so many times and never got this opportunity. But she didn't expect that when she didn't dare to think about it anymore, the opportunity fell to her again.
"However, it is not ...... as a participant in the kitchen lift"
However, Concubine Ruan's voice changed again, choking Ruoshui.
"What's that?"
"Didn't you say that you want to represent the Daling Dynasty against the small countries outside the Fanwai? Why, it's only been a few days, and the bragged bull has already forgotten? ”
"Of course I didn't forget! Those people from the small dependent countries have already come? ”
Ruoshui breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it didn't fool her.
"Well, the Wa Kingdom has arrived, and there are two small countries, and now they have also arrived outside the capital, and tomorrow, it will be time to meet the envoys. This is why the Queen Mother has gathered so many people, but she has never done anything to deal with you. It is because there is something more important at the moment, as long as the envoys of the small dependent countries are sent away safely, it will be time to pronounce your sentence. So, what you have to do is do something that they can't do before they sentence you. ”
"Yes!"
When it comes to cooking, Ruoshui has always been full of confidence.
"Well, are your fingers almost good? Can you play? After the envoys arrive, there is a period of rest, when they are invited to visit the entire cooking competition before the cooking duel between countries takes place. At that time, the head of the kitchen will naturally be on the field, but just in case, one more person will be prepared. Fortunately, the emperor has prepared an edict on this matter before, and as long as you are pushed forward at that time, with the edict as evidence, even the emperor himself cannot regret it in front of everyone, and when the time comes, it will depend on your performance to determine life and death.
