Chapter 127: Shen Champion (Thanks to Kasimgfu for the tip)
"Back to the Queen Mother, the sons over there in Zhuyuan all said that these three pastries are the most delicious." Mama Liu took out a small note, on which were written three numbers, three, eight, and eleven.
The utensils prepared by the Queen Mother just now were specially numbered, and the plates were all numbered in the same way as the table in front of them.
No. 3 is Wang Xiyao's craft, while No. 8 is Miss Yun's, and as for No. 11, Ah Xiu never expected that it would be Gu Jinrong.
She didn't expect that she still had such a craft, it was really hidden!
"In that case, let's give each person a gadget, and when it's over, follow Mama Lu to get it." Compared with her attitude towards Ah Xiu, the Queen Mother is a little cold to others.
"Niangniang, the sons over there said that they can't eat the ladies in vain after eating the ladies' pastries, and they want to invite the ladies to watch them compete." Mama Liu continued.
"Race?" The Queen Mother asked, "What game?" ”
Because she is in a good mood today, she has also aroused some curiosity.
"I said I was going to the school competition to ride a horse and shoot arrows!" Mama Liu said with a smile, at her age, seeing these young ladies and sons are just like her juniors, she is also happy to see them live happily.
"It's a nice day, so why don't you go and take a look." The Queen Mother glanced at Ah Xiu, and when she saw that she seemed to be thinking something, she automatically understood that she was curious about who she was.
This Ah Xiu is thirteen years old this year, and it's time to think about family affairs.
The Queen Mother said this, and a group of Huaichun girls followed her and walked towards the school field.
No need to approach. Ah Xiu found that the most eye-catching thing in it was Gu Jingling, who was riding a white horse, his head tilted slightly to the side, and he didn't talk to others.
He was in the barracks all year round, and here he didn't have many close friends.
People don't think they have a topic with him, he thinks they're too sissy.
Just like today, this arrow is aimed at a moving target, and it is only about ten meters away. What is this like.
Such a game in his opinion. It's like a child's house.
But since he came, he couldn't leave halfway, he still knew how to behave in the world.
"Look, it's the Queen Mother here." I don't know who shouted. The sons who were originally riding on horses and showing off their talents hurriedly got off their horses.
It's just that pose. are far inferior to Gu Jingling's chic and neat.
Gu Nineteen watched from the side as a servant. silently gave Gu Jingling a thumbs up in his heart.
His own generals are not comparable to these gentlemen and weak scholars.
After a simple salute, those sons and brothers all looked eager to try, in front of the woman. Naturally, they want to show their most heroic side.
Maybe you can get a marriage, and if you can appear here, it's all the right thing!
"It's a good day today, just let the mourning family sit in the village, and the ladies can bet as much as you like." The Queen Mother smiled with her eyes, her behavior was actually to know who Ah Xiu would detain.
"Mama Lu, go get a stick, you can just warm up, and the winner will be rewarded with a finely cast gem dagger."
The Queen Mother's words drew a burst of cheers from below.
"Mother, it's cold, do you want to put on your cloak?" Mama Liu said with concern on the side. After all, it's winter, and although the sun is good, it has just snowed, and when it melts, it's a little colder than when it snows.
And the queen mother's body has always been delicate, and she must not catch a cold because of the wind.
"Give the cloak to the mourners."
When Mama Liu heard this, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out her cloak and planned to put it on her.
Who knew that the Queen Mother just hid, holding the cloak in her hand, but she didn't see any other movements.
"Send this cloak to Ah Xiu and let her put it on." The Queen Mother paused, and then returned the cloak to Mama Liu.
She originally wanted to dress her herself, but she was afraid that what she did would be too obvious and scare people.
"But ......" Mama Liu glanced at the Queen Mother, she is wearing such a little now......
"Don't send it yet!" The Queen Mother's eyes were straight, and she said coldly.
"Yes, yes, slave and maid will go." Although Mama Liu sent the cloak to Ah Xiu, she did not forget to ask the palace maid to go back and get an extra cloak.
After all, the body of the Queen Mother is the most important.
Ah Xiu was originally talking to Gu Jinrong, but when his shoulders were heavy, he saw that he had an extra crescent white cloak on his body.
She looked at Mama Liu with some confusion, what was going on.
"The Queen Mother asked the slave maid to send it to the young lady, and the Queen Mother is benevolent and doesn't want to see the young lady cold." Mama Liu said softly.
She can see clearly, this new favorite is much more valued than Rong An back then.
At least Rong An back then, the Queen Mother didn't send her clothes to wear.
Ah Xiu glanced back at the Queen Mother, and it happened that the Queen Mother also turned sideways and smiled softly at her.
"Then I will bother Mama to send the handguards to the mother." Ah Xiu took off his handguard, and because the hand stove was not very warm, it was naturally not good to return it like this.
"Miss has a heart." Mama Liu smiled and took the handguard back.
"This is what Miss Axiu specially asked the slave maid to bring to you, for fear that you will be frozen." Although Ah Xiu didn't give her any benefits, Mama Liu had her own measure in her heart.
A hint of joy flashed on the Queen Mother's face, and she took the gauntlet and put it on a little eagerly, because it had just been taken off Ah Xiu's hand, and it still had a lot of residual warmth in it.
She felt her eyes ache.
She thought she would never feel like this in her life.
Thank God for sending her to his side again.
Just when those ladies were secretly discussing who should be bought to win, those noble sons were also secretly talking.
"You say, why didn't Miss Rong show up today?"
This plum blossom banquet was specially organized by the Queen Mother for Rong'an, which everyone knows.
But now, Rong An, as the main master, did not appear, which is too unreasonable.
"Could it be that you are in trouble and annoyed the Queen Mother." A man dressed in blue and purple said with a smile, he couldn't get used to Rong An's swaggering appearance with his nostrils facing the sky.
If you look better, it doesn't matter, but she has a passerby face, and she thinks she is a fairy every day!
"Don't say that, if someone hears it, maybe you'll be beaten, and you don't remember it." The man next to him winked at him.
The man in blue and purple clothes was immediately silenced.
Someone had said that Rong An had a bad temper, so she didn't know what method Lu Dao used to kick into the lotus pond.
Fortunately, someone happened to be passing by, otherwise the little life would have been explained there.
Although many people are dissatisfied with Rong An's behavior, there is nothing to say that the Queen Mother is wrong to favor people.
On the one hand, because the Queen Mother is in a high position, ordinary people dare to question her. But more importantly, the Queen Mother is so beautiful, even if she does something wrong, as long as it is not too harmful, who is willing to say about her.
Therefore, this is a world that looks at faces.
"Look, that shouldn't be another daughter of the Rong family?" Although Ah Xiu's behavior is very low-key, it is a pity that he is still seen by sharp-eyed people.
"Look, it's like it!" Someone chimed in.
They couldn't help but tremble, a young lady of the Rong family was already terrifying, and now another one came......
"The Queen Mother." Xue Xingyi came from the side, and he usually does not participate in this kind of competition.
At this plum blossom banquet, Xue Xingyi was also invited, so he was able to arrive at the Longevity Palace earlier than Ah Xiu.
"Xingyi, sit next to me, you see, whoever has a better chance of winning." In fact, there is no need to ask at all, only Gu Jingling is a military general, and the victory or defeat is obvious.
However, on this occasion, everyone just wants to be happy and show their faces in front of women, and they don't have to compete for the first place.
"Gu Jingling." Xue Xingyi said.
"Since you're so sure it's him, why don't you bet too?" The Queen Mother had an obvious smile in her eyes, she knew that he was most disgusted with this kind of thing, so she would say this on purpose.
"I didn't bring any money." Xue Xingyi's face was frank.
As a son-in-law, if he can go out so calmly without money or a small servant, Xue Xingyi is probably alone.
"I'll bet Gu Jingling ten taels." Just when the Queen Mother wanted to tease again, she saw Ah Xiu appear next to her with a small denomination silver ticket.
Those young ladies all asked the maids around them to come, and she came over herself.
However, because of Ah Xiu's choice, the Queen Mother deliberately glanced at Gu Jingling a few more times.
In fact, in addition to being a little harder, he is really a good husband candidate!
And the Gu family doesn't have so much deceit, if Ah Xiu marries, it will be a good choice.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but think about it like this.
If it weren't for the fact that Xue Xingyi was too unemotional, he would actually be a good candidate, they were all doctors, and they also had common words.
"I heard that this year's champion is also here this time?" The Queen Mother suddenly thought of this again, and heard that the new champion was a first-class beautiful man.
"Hui Niangniang, isn't Shen Zhuangyuan over there!" Mama Liu pointed to a place far away and said.
Because it was too far away, the Queen Mother squinted her eyes slightly, and such an action was made by her, with a hint of natural charm.
"From a distance, that countenance is indeed top-notch." Just as men like to discuss women's looks and figures, women actually like to discuss men.
"I heard that he is the son of Lord Shen who was wronged before." Mama Liu lowered her voice and said.
The previous case of Lord Shen was a tragedy caused by the deliberate framing of the Eighth Prince.
"A poor man, too." The Queen Mother sighed softly, then withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at him. (To be continued......)
