Chapter 073: Framed
Jian Ning has been studying the recipes for a few days, and as soon as she doesn't understand something, she immediately asks Yao Hua, plus every dish is checked by the Queen Mother, so in the past three days, the banquet of the envoys of various states and the ministers of Yuan Chu has been set.
Now all that is left is the chairman of Long Zeye and Princess Leling, and the three important banquets of Xiahou Yan, Hua Yuebai, and the Empress Dowager.
The general menu was presented to the Queen Mother early in the morning. At noon today, what Jian Ning wanted to present to the Empress Dowager was a few dishes on the main table.
"Xiaofuzi, go and see Ningshou Palace, but someone is coming?" Jian Ning finished the last dish, wiped her hands, and asked Xiaofuzi on the side while putting the dish into the food box.
When Xiao Fuzi heard this, he immediately replied with a smile: "Back to the girl, Sister Gu Jin has been here for a while, and the little one is afraid that she will be in a hurry, so she specially prepared tea and let her sister drink tea in the small pavilion outside!" ”
"You're smart!" When Jian Ning heard this, she glanced at Xiaofuzi and said with a smile, "The dishes are already ready, take them to her quickly, it's not good to make people wait for a long time." ”
Xiao Fuzi smiled, took the two three-layer food boxes handed over by Jian Ning, and walked out.
Since the God of Food Competition, Jian Ning has not cooked with such a high intensity for a long time. After doing so much at once in the past few days, I can't help but feel some backache.
Jian Ning gave herself a little self-deprecating and muttered: "When did you become so squeamish, in modern times, the work intensity was much higher than this, and I didn't see it so tired." ”
Jian Ning just found a place to sit down, and before she had time to drink a sip of water, Yao Hua came over with two lists and said to Jian Ning: "Miss Jane, here is the list of tea and wine used for the emperor's wedding over the years, you can refer to it." ”
Jian Ning took the list in Yao Hua's hand and looked at it. Said lightly: "I know, thank you Yao Yuchu for taking the trouble to prepare." ”
On the other side, when Xiao Fuzi was carrying two food boxes to find Gu Jin, he happened to see Gonggong Meng and Xiao Xiazi also talking to Gu Jin in the small pavilion, and the three of them had smiles on their faces.
Xiao Fuzi paused slightly, and snorted coldly in his heart: "This Gonggong Meng is used to being a master who can pat on the back, and even the Empress Dowager has climbed up at this time!" ”
I thought so in my heart. He continued to walk up. Entered the pavilion. Chao Gu Jin smiled and said, "Sister Gu Jin, I've kept you waiting. ”
When Gu Jin heard this, he immediately stood up. smiled and replied: "Xiaofuzi, don't say that, this lunch time has not yet arrived, it is not late, it is not late." ”
Xiaofuzi smiled. Didn't speak again. Miss Jane has always valued the hour, how could it be late!
"Sister Gu Jin. If there is nothing else, Xiaofuzi will go back first, and the girl is still waiting for me to reply. Xiao Fuzi glanced at Gonggong Meng and said goodbye to Gu Jin.
"Hmm. Go ahead, I'm out of the way. Gu Jin nodded and said.
After Xiaofuzi left, Gu Jin opened the food box and checked the dishes inside layer by layer. After confirming, he smiled lightly and said to Meng Gonggong: "Father-in-law." Now that the dish is ready, I'll take my leave. ”
Gonggong Meng saw that Gu Jin was leaving, but he hadn't found a chance to get drugged yet, and he was a little anxious. But he said quietly: "This food box is so big, the road from Ningshou Palace is not short, do you need a slave to find someone to help the girl?" ”
Gu Jin refused and said: "Father-in-law Xie is kind, I also brought a little palace maid, and the two of them are still okay." ”
After Gu Jin finished speaking, he pointed to a small palace maid standing outside the pavilion. When Gonggong Meng saw it, he couldn't say anything more. Busy said to Xiao Xiazi behind him: "Xiao Xiazi, don't you hurry up and help Miss Gu Jin put away the food box." ”
Gonggong Meng took this opportunity to take advantage of Xiao Xiazi's block and quickly sprinkled some medicine in a soup. But time is just a blink of an eye, and Gonggong Meng didn't have time to stir, in order to prevent Gu Jin from finding out, he had to quickly close the lid, thinking that from here all the way to Ningshou Palace, the medicinal powder should also be dissolved into the soup.
After Gu Jin left, Gonggong Meng was shocked to find himself in a cold sweat.
Not long after lunchtime, before Jian Ning and the people in the imperial dining room had finished lunch, a father-in-law came with a few guards to take Jian Ning away.
Seeing this, Xiao Fuzi hurriedly asked, "Gonggong Li, what is going on, why did you want to take Miss Jian away?" ”
This Gonggong Li is on an errand in Ningshou Palace, and he is the most important person in the Empress Dowager except for Hebi. The relationship with Fan Chengfu on weekdays is also very good, and now when he sees Xiao Fuzi asking like this, he quietly said to the bottom: "The Empress Dowager started to have stomach trouble after eating the dishes made by Miss Jane today, and happened to be bumped into by the concubine Niangniang and several other concubines, and now she is about to bring Miss Jian over to ask for guilt!" ”
Xiao Fuzi was immediately anxious when he heard this, how could there be a problem with the girl's cooking, someone must have deliberately harmed the girl.
"Father-in-law, this must not be about the girl's business, please ask the father-in-law to help the girl in the face of Father-in-law Fan, and the little one will go to the emperor." Xiao Fuzi immediately pleaded with Gonggong Li.
"Xiaofuzi, if you go to the emperor, move faster. Now that the Empress Dowager is weak, and there are concubines such as Ai Guifei there, I'm afraid"
"Father-in-law, don't worry, Xiaofuzi will find Sister Qingzhi to find the emperor together." After Xiao Fuzi finished speaking, he immediately ran out of the imperial dining room.
Jian Ning also vaguely heard some conversations between Xiaofuzi and Gonggong Li, and gradually thought about it in her mind.
I'm worried about being framed, so I do everything myself, and I never fake it to others, but now something like this is happening. I think the only thing that may have a problem is the way from the imperial dining room to Ningshou Palace.
But today it was Gu Jin, the palace maid beside the Empress Dowager, who came to pick up the food box, and Jian Ning couldn't suspect her casually.
Jian Ning kept thinking about it all the way when she was taken to Ningshou Palace, and there was only one person in the entire palace who wanted to put her to death, Ai Duoer. If someone deliberately framed her this time, then it really has nothing to do with her.
When Jian Ning entered Ningshou Palace, what she saw was not the Empress Dowager, but Ai Duoer and the concubines. Although Jian Ning didn't know these women, judging from the outfit and sitting position, there was no doubt that she was a concubine, but her position was not as good as Ai Duoer.
When Gonggong Li saw that it was Ai Duoer sitting there, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Guifei Niangniang, why don't you see the Queen Mother?" ”
The moment Ai Duoer saw Jian Ning, a triumphant smile appeared on her face.
Seeing Gonggong Li asking, he responded with a light smile: "The Empress Dowager is unwell, and she is helped into the inner room by Aunt Hebi, and she is drinking medicine, so her father-in-law doesn't need to worry." ”
"Since the Empress Dowager and her old man are unwell, then the slave will take Miss Jian down first, and ask when the Empress Dowager is better." Gonggong Li frowned and said immediately.
"Father-in-law, slow down!" Ai Duo'er's voice was suddenly much higher than just now, and she looked at Gonggong Li and said majestically, "The Empress Dowager's body is so bad, how can you not find out the culprit." ”
"Be bold and concise, and don't kneel when you see this palace!" Ai Duoer will not let Jian Ning go so easily, and the longer the time drags on, the more detrimental it will be to her, so she must do her best to convict Jian Ning.
Although Gonggong Li is a popular person next to the Empress Dowager, he is just a slave after all. Ai Duoer covers the sky with one hand in the harem, and it is not something that his father-in-law can resist.
Seeing Ai Duoer's momentum, she knew that things were not good, and hurriedly glanced at Jian Ning and asked her to kneel first.
Jian Ning knew that Gonggong Li did this all for Fan Chengfu's sake, and it was out of good intentions, so she couldn't refute his face, so she knelt on the ground.
When Ai Duoer saw Jian Ning kneeling on the ground, her heart was filled with joy again. directly and deliberately smeared Jian Ning and said: "Jian Ning, you actually intended to murder the Empress Dowager, are you guilty?" ”
"Murder? Does the concubine have to have evidence when she speaks? ”
"The imperial doctor has already diagnosed the pulse of the Empress Dowager, and said that the Empress Dowager is like this because she accidentally ate croton powder. And the Empress Dowager only ate the food you sent at noon, if it weren't for you, would it still be Miss Gu Jin or Aunt Hebi next to the Empress Dowager? ”
Every word of Ai Duoer's words pointed the finger at Jian Ning. So that she can neither admit nor deny.
"What, can't you speak?"
"I don't know when this Ningshou Palace actually became the Huaqing Palace of the mother?" Jian Ning knew that the only way to wait for Long Zeye to come now was to delay time, so she avoided Ai Duo'er's sharp questioning and said sarcastically.
Hearing this, the corners of Ai Duo'er's mouth raised slightly, and she said with extreme pride: "Although this palace is not the queen, it has always been in charge of the power of the six palaces, even if the emperor wants to marry the queen in the near future, he has never taken back the power of this palace." ”
"Nowadays, there is no reason for this palace to ignore such a serious matter. Since this matter is inconvenient for the Empress Dowager, it is reasonable and reasonable, and it should be handled by this palace! ”
"Since I didn't take it back before, I'm just taking it back now!" A magnetic male voice came into his ears, and although he didn't want to admit it, Jian Ning's originally worried heart did fall.
Compared to Jian Ning's peace of mind, Ai Duoer was not so happy, and her whole heart was cold. Hurriedly got up from the position just now and greeted him.
At the same time that Ai Duoer got up, the rest of the concubines and palace people also followed to the door, and saluted in unison: "The concubines and others will see the emperor." ”
"Slaves (slaves) see the emperor."
The emperor did not let everyone get up, but walked directly past everyone.
After sitting down, he still didn't care about anyone present, but asked Gonggong Li, "How is the imperial grandmother now?" ”
Gonggong Li immediately replied respectfully: "If you go back to the emperor, the Empress Dowager is no longer in trouble, and she is drinking medicine in the inner room." ”
Long Zeye hummed lightly before letting everyone get up.
Before Ai Duo'er could fully stand up, she heard Long Zeye's voice sound: "Ai Guifei, I heard you say that you want to deal with this matter from afar, so what is the result?" (To be continued)
