Chapter 44: The Queen
Emperor Zhaofeng also discovered Zhen Miao's distraction, and his body couldn't help leaning forward, wanting to see what was going on.
Zhen Miao frowned at the half of the insect that was still writhing, it has been carved until now, is it impossible to change it to a peach?
Looking at the small insect eyes on the peach flesh, Zhen Miao carefully pulled it with the tip of the knife, and the flesh inside was not eaten by the insects, and the range was not large.
Seeing this situation, my eyes lit up, and there were!
"Please clean the knife for me." Zhen Miao casually beckoned the palace maid who was standing not far away and had just handed her a handkerchief.
The palace maid glanced at Emperor Zhaofeng.
"Go, do as Miss Zhen said." Emperor Zhaofeng said lightly.
The palace maid came to Zhen Miao in a proper manner and took the carving knife.
Then, I saw half a worm writhing happily.
As soon as his hand trembled, the carving knife fell to the ground.
The crisp sound of metal hitting the blue brick ground sounded, and the palace maid immediately turned white, knelt down with a plop, and said in horror: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life!" ”
At the age of Emperor Zhaofeng, he already had the calmness of not moving like a mountain, but the curiosity in his heart became more and more intense, and he asked in a deep voice: "What the hell is going on?" ”
"Yes, it's half a worm on the knife...... "The palace maid lowered her head deeply, and her body trembled like chaff.
I secretly scolded myself in my heart for damning, why did I lose my temper when I saw half a worm at first glance!
Zhen Miao looked at the palace maid who instantly changed from steady and generous to discolored, and was a little stunned.
It's just a small bug, or half, and it doesn't bite, how can it be scared like this?
Seeing the doubts on Zhen Miao's face, the corners of Jiang Guifei's mouth stiffened, and she said in her heart, where did this come from, a normal girl suddenly saw a bug, shouldn't she be so frightened that she threw the things in her hand out?
It's like...... Just like this damn palace maid!
Jiang Guifei glanced at the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground sharply.
The palace maid was so frightened that her face turned even paler, and she kept kowtowing.
Emperor Zhaofeng was also unhappy.
was in a good mood, but was disturbed by this palace maid.
Where did this strange palace maid come from, because of a small insect, she dared to lose her honor in front of her!
Has the prestige of the Eye been diminished?
I have to say that no matter which world you are, the thinking of men and women is very different.
"Ah Yun, since this palace maid is so afraid of insects, it doesn't seem suitable to wait by your side, so let's go to the Huanyi Bureau." Emperor Zhaofeng made the final decision and sent the palace maid with a dead face.
"Well, but it's up to the emperor to decide." Concubine Jiang Guifei didn't even glance at the palace maid on the ground.
"Go, get a new carving knife." Emperor Zhaofeng glanced at the other palace maid, and then looked at Zhen Miao, "Do you want to change a peach?" ”
Zhen Miao hurriedly shook her head: "You don't need to change it, the folk girl picks out the remaining half of the worm, and she can continue carving." ”
Pick it out, pick out half of the bug......
Concubine Jiang was completely speechless.
Zhen Miao looked pity: "I just can't eat it." ”
In her opinion, no matter how exquisite the food is, it is also to make people eat more pleasantly, otherwise it will lose its meaning.
Jiang Guifei......
Emperor Zhaofeng quietly twitched the corners of his mouth and asked, "Zhen Si, that little palace maid was afraid of being like that when she saw the insect just now, why aren't you afraid?" ”
Zhen Miao said honestly: "The folk girl is not afraid of insects, unless-"
"Unless what?" Emperor Zhaofeng asked.
"Unless you find out that it's half a peach when you eat it." Zhen Miao said very seriously.
Emperor Zhaofeng heard this answer, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed.
Looking at Zhen Miao, who had an inexplicable expression, I felt that although this little girl was not clever, she was really a rare wonderful person.
Listening to Emperor Zhaofeng's laughter, Jiang Guifei's eyes flashed with displeasure, and she peeled the grapes elegantly and said: "Miss Zhen is bold, how can ordinary women not be afraid of insects and snakes." Speaking of which, the little palace maid was unlucky, and she washed the knife for Miss Zhen Si on the wheel. ”
These words allude to Zhen Miao's indifference.
The little palace maid was punished for washing her carving knife, but she didn't ask for a word.
Zhen Miao actually sympathized with the little palace maid, but she didn't think that she was qualified to intercede with the king of a country at will.
To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the emperor, what is the difference between her and the little palace maid?
Moreover, the little palace maid is serving Concubine Jiang Guifei, why doesn't she, as the master, intercede?
After a closer look, the production of flower melons was ordered by the emperor.
Although Zhen Miao doesn't have much scheming, her logic is clear, and she doesn't have the mind of a white lotus, she really just sympathizes with the little palace maid, and she doesn't feel guilty.
"To be able to serve the concubine, the luck is the best." Zhen Miao said and took the carving knife handed over by the palace maid, carefully picked out the remaining half of the worm, and began to carve it again.
Jiang Guifei clenched her fists angrily, but her face remained silent.
But in a moment, a rose had already taken shape, Zhen Miao put it in the tray, and the little palace maid took it to Emperor Zhaofeng to see.
Emperor Zhaofeng looked at the flower melon that was presented.
Pink and white, the petals are stacked, but on the two petals at the center of the flower, there are traces of being eaten by insects.
If there are no traces, it is just a lifelike rose carved from a peach, and with these traces, the rose comes to life.
Emperor Zhaofeng glanced at Zhen Miao deeply.
can turn the original disadvantages into the finishing touch, this little girl is not simple!
"Good, good, very well carved."
"What treasure has the emperor seen, can you let the concubines open their eyes?" A woman's voice came.
Zhen Miao quietly raised her eyes and glanced at it.
The person who came was wearing a bright yellow palace dress, which was ingeniously embroidered with a large green peony, and the national color was full of beauty.
The woman who can wear this color is none other than the queen.
"My sister is here." Jiang Guifei stood up lazily, bowed and sat down next to the emperor.
Empress Zhao smiled: "My sister is really polite. ”
Zhen Miao sighed and knelt down again to salute.
"Whose girl is this? Hurry up. ”
Jiang Guifei covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister doesn't know what to do, this is the fourth girl from Jian'an Bo Mansion, the one who shines in the Qixi Daughter's competition of making Qiaoguo Huagua." ”
As he spoke, a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Queen Zhao.
Hearing this, Empress Zhao's gaze turned cold when she saw Zhen Miao, and she secretly hated Jiang Guifei's words.
Now who doesn't know that the Qiaoguo Huagua made by the four girls of the Jian'an Mansion in Ludao has been rated as a superb, and the stepping stone is the seven girls of Mu'en Houfu, her niece!
"From the queen's point of view, Zhen Si really lives up to his reputation." Emperor Zhaofeng didn't bother to pay attention to the ** woman's words, and motioned to the queen to enjoy it together.
Empress Zhao glanced at it, although she was amazed, her depression did not disappear, her eyes flashed and she smiled: "The emperor likes Zhen Si's flowers and melons so much, why don't you let her teach this craft to the palace chef." ”
"Sister, Miss Zhen is everyone's best girl, go to be a master for the cook, I'm afraid it's not okay?" Jiang Guifei seemed to be relieved.
