The subordinates of the Shizi Mansion had already set up a table of wine and food, and when Zhong Ziyuan was done, the three of them were also hungry, so they naturally had a delicious meal. Facing a table full of exquisite dishes, Zhong Ziyuan sandwiched a sauce-red chicken comb in the first hand, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, only to feel crispy and tender. After swallowing it, she couldn't help but shake her head at Zhu Fei and sighed: "It's too extravagant, how do I think it's a sin every time I eat with you!" ”

"It's noisy." Zhu Feibai glanced at her, he picked up a glass of warm mead in front of him, drank it in one gulp, and then praised: "Yes, the real pearl is pulp and jade, and Tianfu is sweating in June." It is better to grow incense in the spring urn, and the bees make grass for the cultivation of flowers. One day the small boiling fish spits, two days of dizziness and light live, three days of opening the urn full of incense, fast diarrhea silver bottle does not need to be pulled. The maid Jin Xun is a spring wine, and the spring wine is full of amber light. It captures the essence of it. ”

Although Zhong Ziyuan said that, she would not pull down anything that should be eaten or drunk. She picked up the warm amber mead in front of her and took a sip. I only feel that the entrance is sweet and soft, with a faint taste of wine, and it is very good to eat. Zhong Ziyuan smiled, and drank it all in one gulp, following Zhu Fei's example.

Her action immediately aroused Guo Chenghe's dissatisfaction, he coughed lightly, and said: "This mead is sweet in the mouth, but it has great stamina. You can't drink like this, be careful of getting drunk and yelling for a headache tomorrow morning. ”

"Got it." Zhong Ziyuan quietly stuck out her tongue and reluctantly put down the wine glass, but her eyes were still lingering on the wine urn. Guo Chengsi pretended not to see it and served her a bowl of hot pearl fish ball soup. said: "First drink a bowl of fish soup to warm your stomach." ”

"How about a bowl of fish soup and a glass of mead? I haven't drunk it, but I think it's delicious! Zhong Ziyuan bargained unwillingly.

Guo Chengsi glanced at her with a smile and said, "Half a cup." Couldn't be more. ”

"Great." Zhong Ziyuan was afraid that he would regret it, so he hurriedly picked up the wine glass and stretched it out in front of Yu Ji, and said with a smile: "Yu Ji, help me pour it." Yu Ji pursed her lips and smiled, and poured her another half glass of sweet honey wine.

Seeing Zhong Ziyuan happily holding the wine glass and sniffing deeply, Zhu Fei was jealous and shouted dissatisfiedly: "I know that you are in love." Do you need to show your eyes in front of me, a lonely person? If you do it again, you won't be able to eat this meal. ”

Yuji held the flask to cover her face and snickered secretly. Guo Chengsi turned a deaf ear. He sandwiched a few pieces of raw venison for Zhong Ziyuan, and said, "Last time, I saw you like to eat venison." Come, eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold. ”

"Hmm." Zhong Ziyuan put down the wine glass with a red face. Obediently bow your head and eat venison. Immediately, a large piece of fried pigeon leg fell into her bowl. Zhong Ziyuan looked up in astonishment. I saw Zhu Fei say triumphantly: "Didn't you eat enough of such a big deer last time?" Come, try this fried pigeon, this pigeon meat is much more tender than the venison. After speaking, he also glanced at Guo Chengsi defiantly.

Guo Chengsi remained silent, he sandwiched a large piece of winter bamboo shoots and put them in Zhong Ziyuan's bowl, and advised: "Eat less of those fried ones, they will get hot, eat a piece of winter bamboo shoots!" I just tasted it, and it's very crispy. ”

The voice did not fall. Zhu Fei had already brought a snow-white almond tofu over there, and he smiled and said, "It's sweet and delicious." The smooth and tender almond tofu is here."

Zhong Ziyuan and Yu Ji only felt dazzled, and after a while, the food in front of Zhong Ziyuan had already formed a small mountain. Seeing that the two of them still didn't stop, they had a posture of getting more and more fierce. Zhong Ziyuan picked up the mead in his hand with a headache and took a big sip. Before I could swallow it, I heard a maid report outside the door: "Prince Shizi, Prince Rui is here"

The mead that Zhong Ziyuan held in his mouth "poofed" and squirted out. She panicked and said, "Why did Prince Rui come?" ”

Guo Chengsi wiped the wine on his sleeve that she sprayed, and said lightly: "I asked him to come and see Uncle Fu, but I didn't expect him to come so early." He squinted his eyes again, looked at Zhong Ziyuan, who was choking, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you so excited?" Are you still afraid to see him? ”

Zhong Ziyuan wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, smirked twice, and said, "It's true that I don't dare to see him, is there a back door here, let me hide, and I'll talk to you later." ”

Zhu Fei and Yu Ji all raised their arms and pointed behind the screen, and said, "There is no back door, if you want to hide, you can only hide in the back room." Zhu Yi's heavy footsteps were already heard outside the door, Zhong Ziyuan stomped his feet helplessly, and had to quickly flash behind the screen and hide in the ear room.

The transept was quite small, and there was a small vermilion lattice, and a lantern was held high above it. By candlelight, you can see that there are buckets and washing shelves, and in the corner there is a small sunflower-shaped gilt incense burner, and the white smoke inside is faint and the fragrance of sandalwood is faint.

Zhong Ziyuan hid in embarrassment before he came to his senses. Why should you hide if you are open? Could it really be that Mrs. Liu's suspicions have left a shadow on her?

She felt the wall and hesitated to walk out again, but there was a "squeak" outside, apparently the door was pushed open. Immediately after that, Zhu Yi's hearty laughter came: "Okay! You are hiding here to eat fragrant and spicy food, and you don't know how to wait for me! ”

Zhong Ziyuan immediately paused, she thought left and right, and finally stomped her foot secretly and sat down next to the corner of the wall honestly. Regardless of whether she has a clear conscience or not, she always thinks that Liu Yuqing can be happy. Since Mrs. Liu is so taboo about meeting Zhu Yi, then she can't see it, anyway, Zhu Yi is no different from a stranger to her. However, the sound outside was not loud or small, and it still reached her ears.

I heard Zhu Yi say in surprise: "Huh! How can there still be a pair of used dishes and chopsticks here? You have other guests here. ”

As soon as the surroundings were quiet, I heard Zhu Fei smile slyly and said, "Old man Fu is still asleep now, so it's boring for the two of us to drink, so let Yu Ji accompany you here." Now that you're here, you don't need her. Yuji, don't take your dishes and chopsticks down and replace them with new ones. Then let the kitchen make a casserole to simmer deer tendons, and stir-fry rabbit meat, all of which Prince Rui loves to eat. That's right. There is also the fresh deer blood, which warms up the body most when I drink it in winter, and it is also served with wine. ”

"Yes." Yu Ji respectfully agreed. This was followed by the sound of walking, as well as the sound of clashing when moving dishes and chopsticks and stools.

Zhong Ziyuan rolled her eyes widely, this Zhu Fei came as soon as he opened his mouth to lie, and he didn't know how many people were sold by him and had to help count the silver. Fortunately, he treats himself well, although sometimes he is a scoundrel like a child, but he obeys his word. Never say anything.

Soon after Zhu Yi sat down, he heard Guo Chengsi say: "You came so early today, but the Queen Mother is okay there?" ”

Zhu Yi sighed. replied: "Although the queen mother is no longer so sleepy every day under the golden needle crossing acupoint of Liu Yuan, the symptoms of headache and dizziness have not improved. The emperor has posted an imperial list to announce to the world that as long as someone can cure the queen mother's head disease. and a thousand pounds will be rewarded. and can work in the Pacific Hospital. ”

Zhu Fei asked curiously, "Can someone unveil the list?" ”

Zhu Yi replied helplessly: "Yes, there are many people who unveil the list, but they are all helpless. For this reason, yesterday the emperor was furious, and angrily reprimanded Liu Yuan and the entire Tai Hospital. ”

Zhu Fei sneered: "The best doctors are gathered in the palace, but the emperor still expects to find a miracle doctor from the outside to cure the queen mother's illness, isn't it putting the cart before the horse." ”

Zhong Ziyuan also nodded secretly when she heard this, she had heard Zhong Jinchuan say it before about the Queen Mother's head disease. In her opinion, it is nothing more than a migraine caused by a small amount of capillary congestion and spasm in the queen mother's brain.

She once taught Zhong Jinchuan a set of acupressure massage and acupuncture methods. It is quite effective on the Queen Mother, and for this reason, Zhong Jinchuan has won the favor of the Queen Mother and the Queen. It's just that the Queen Mother is old, and this kind of problem can only be alleviated, not cured. Unexpectedly, after Zhong Jinchuan was imprisoned, the Queen Mother's head illness would be so serious.

Zhu Yi heard that there was something in his words, and said strangely: "What you say seems to mean something." ”

Before Zhu Fei could speak, Guo Chenghe's warning voice came: "How much do you know about the things in the palace?" Hugh has to come up with random ideas. ”

Who knew that Zhu Fei did not pay attention to his warning, but continued: "I heard that there was an envoy of the Zhong Yuan in the Tai Hospital in the past, who had a lot of experience in treating the Queen Mother's head disease, why didn't you ask him to help the Queen Mother relieve her worries?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan was originally just leaning against the wall idly, but after listening to Zhu Fei's words, she was shocked, she immediately straightened up and pressed her ears tightly against the wall, listening carefully.

I heard Zhu Yi say: "The Zhongyuan you said also made me know, if you want to say that the medical skills and character are extraordinary, but unfortunately because of the mistreatment of Concubine Li earlier, she slipped the fetus, and was sent to the prison of the Criminal Department by the emperor." A few days ago, Liu Yuanju also mentioned him, and the emperor was moved to let him out for a try. As a result, Concubine Li was so upset that she had to dispel this idea. ”

Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but hate in her heart when she heard this, this concubine was too domineering and ruthless. Her miscarriage was obviously assassinated, and it had nothing to do with Zhong Jinchuan at all, but she had to kill Zhong Jinchuan when she looked at this posture.

Zhong Ziyuan didn't know that Concubine Li was damaged because of that miscarriage, and now she is extremely difficult to have children. You must know that there are no heirs in the palace, those favors are a mirage after all, it seems to be beautiful but it will be broken as soon as you poke it, she doesn't hate Zhong Jinchuan in her heart, where would she be willing to let him go easily.

I heard Zhu Fei sneer: "If you want to say that our emperor is still wise and martial in other things, but he has lost his dignity in this woman." I have never heard of any concubine in the past dynasties who can surpass the queen mother. Don't you, as a dignified prince, persuade you? ”

I heard Guo Chengsi interject: "In the past, the queen mother's head disease was not so serious, I am afraid that even if the former Zhongyuan envoy made a move, he may not be completely sure that it can be cured, and then I am afraid that it will cause the emperor to be even more angry." ”

Zhong Ziyuan nodded secretly when she heard this, and the concerns in Guo Chengsi's heart were also her concerns. Although she hoped that Zhong Jinchuan and his wife would be released from prison immediately, it had to be under the premise of absolute safety. If she still has to bear the risk of angering the emperor, then she would rather the husband and wife still stay in the prison of the Criminal Department. After all, under Guo Chenghe's guidance, except for the fact that their husband and wife have no freedom for the time being, the rest are quite smooth.

After Zhu Yi was silent for a moment, he said, "Who said I don't want to persuade." Heir, do you still remember the concubine of Jiang's mansion who was framed when the eldest princess held a plum appreciation conference in the courtyard of the eldest princess after the year? She has now also entered the palace and has been named a beauty, and she has also been favored by Concubine Li. Speaking of which, we were kind to her that time, and she promised me to find an opportunity to persuade the emperor to release the Zhongyuan to treat the queen mother. ”

Guo Chengsi asked tightly: "What if even the envoy of the Zhong Yuan has no way?" ”

Zhu Yi sighed: "How can it be? At most, he was beheaded under the wrath of the emperor, and he did his last part for the queen mother. ”

"Nope." Guo Chengsi said categorically: "You can't harm the envoy of the Zhong Yuan like this. ”

Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but be furious when she heard this, and slammed her fist against the wall. She was resentful of Zhu Yi's disregard for human life as a mustard, and she only wished that she could rush out and point at his nose and scold.

There was a sudden muffled noise in the ear room, which immediately attracted the attention of the people in the room. Zhu Fei laughed twice and said: "The big dog who guards the door in the house has raised a litter of puppies, and now it is running around the house. It must be that while the subordinates are not paying attention, a puppy has run into the ear room to spread wild. Tamakihime, go and take a look. ”

"Yes," Yu Ji agreed, and immediately stepped quickly into the ear room behind the screen. Yu Ji saw Zhong Ziyuan's angry face, and wanted to get up and rush out to theorize. Yu Ji hurriedly pressed her shoulder, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother's illness is actually caused by the prince." Since it can make her sick, it can naturally make her better, in short, let the Zhongyuan envoy take the opportunity to get out of danger, and he will never have any problems. ”

Hearing this, Zhong Ziyuan's heart turned a monstrous wave, she stared at Yu Ji tightly, her amber eyes were full of question marks. Yuji smiled at her and patted her on the shoulder comfortingly. Then he sipped his mouth and learned to bark twice, and knocked on the window a few more times, and then went out to recover his life.

I heard Zhu Fei say to Guo Chengsi again: "Chenghei, why do you only think about the worst." Maybe the Zhongyuan will make the medical skills superb, and the disease can be cured! Yi, you're right! I don't know what hint he gave Guo Chengsi, Guo Chengsi also fell silent and no longer resolutely opposed.

Zhong Ziyuan's heart turned a thousand times, ignoring the conversation of the three outside. When she finally came back to her senses, the topic of the Queen Mother had already skipped over. I heard Zhu Fei ridicule: "Yuji, I heard that the future Prince Rui and Princess Rui have patronized your golden and jade hall, you have to give a good price." ”

I heard Yu Ji smile sweetly: "This is still the son of the world, you said, those gems and pearls that Liu Fu fancy today, I have half sold and half given away, and I haven't made a penny or silver." ”

"It doesn't matter." Guo Chengsi said with a smile: "When Prince Rui comes to you to buy a dowry, you can make a good profit for him." ”

Zhu Yi smiled very happily: "That's right, Prince Rui's Mansion is not short of silver. But Yuji, you must take out the best treasures in your golden hall, and do not hide them. ”

Yu Ji smiled: "Yes, it's not a treasure, and it will definitely not be brought to Prince Rui." But today I had the honor to say a few words with Miss Liu, who is dignified, knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous. Prince Rui is really a blessing. Zhong Ziyuan nodded secretly when he heard this, and he was honored.

I heard Prince Rui smile lowly, his voice fluttered with unconcealed joy and pleasure, and said: "My Prince Rui doesn't need to be dignified and magnificent, knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous. Because it is a silk flower, most of them cannot survive without the big tree.

My princess must be clever, cunning and changeable, able to resolve crises on her own, and not easily defeated. It's like the weeds that can't be trampled on and burned, and are full of toughness. Instead of only secretly intriguing in the inner courtyard, and when he comes out of the inner courtyard to face the crisis, he will become a lamb to the slaughter. ”

Zhong Ziyuan listened to his evaluation, the corners of her mouth twitched, and in her mind, she couldn't associate an authentic and famous lady like Liu Yuqing with weeds. Yuji outside also seemed to feel a little short of words, so she just smirked, not knowing how to talk.

Fortunately, Zhu Yi didn't need Yu Ji to talk, he continued to say with great interest: "Today, I specially rushed to Jinyu Mantang to meet her, and I happened to run into Ye Meisu's trouble to find her. Who knew that Ye Meisu had a false name but was vulnerable, and she didn't need me to come forward at all, and she was sent away in a few words."

Hearing this, Zhong Ziyuan's mind "buzzed", and the whole circle became bigger. She was almost frightened, and the person who Zhu Yi said in his mouth was clearly herself! (To be continued......)
