19. Chapter 19
The princess looked at the waterboat and Ku'er with a smile, and said with a smile: "Didn't the emperor say that he wanted to eat the dim sum made by Ku'er in the morning, it is better to make some of Ku'er now." ”
Ku'er's hand pouring wine for the waterboat shook slightly, and then put it down and stood behind the waterboat in a regular manner.
Shen Tianlong obviously liked this suggestion, and also put down his chopsticks: "What does the bitter child think." ”
"The emperor is serious, and the favor of the emperor is a blessing for the bitter child. It's just that I don't know what the taste of the concubine and the princess is. ”
The waterboat raised his eyebrows, this is not the right question. I asked the concubine and the princess, why didn't you ask the emperor? He put down his chopsticks and held Ku'er's hand: "Uncle Huang doesn't like sweetness, as for the concubine and princess, I'm afraid they like sweetness." ”
Shen Ruosu's face was dyed with a smile, and she said sweetly: "It's still my cousin who understands Su'er, Su'er and her mother both like sweets, and they have a hard-working sister." ”
"Yunshang, don't go and help yet."
"No need." Before Yunshang could speak, the waterboat opened his mouth first, and looked at Yunshang coldly: "Ku'er has always disliked outsiders when making desserts. "Who knows what kind of moth will come out of this cloud dress.
Concubine Jin patted her sister's hand soothingly: "What this little prince said is not unreasonable, how can Ku'er make dim sum and let others steal the teacher." ”
On the surface, these words have relieved the siege of the waterboat, but in the dark, they have expressed the narrow-mindedness and selfishness of the bitter child, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Moreover, if Yunshang went to her plan, how would it be implemented?
The waterboat was displeased, but didn't say anything more, letting go of Ku'er's hand and letting her make a snack.
Ku'er was slightly blessed: "Please wait a while, Ku'er will come when he goes." "I turned to leave the hall, and I didn't see the dark shadow that flashed through the doorway.
When Ku'er arrived at the kitchen, there were a few cooks in it, and she went to the place where the dessert was made, and said a few words to the master, and asked for some flour.
The master was not very old, his white and tender face was a simple smile, he watched Ku'er knead his dough, and he also wanted to help: "Ku'er girl, everyone in this house says that the dim sum you make is delicious, and you can teach me when you have time that day." ”
Ku'er smiled, her soft face was a little more gentle because of this kitchen, and she smiled and said: "If you want to learn to watch here, in fact, there is no trick to making pastries, the key is to be attentive." ”
Zhu Zihan listened to her with a smile, but his hand under the stove kept teasing, and he looked at the water boiling over there: "Ku'er girl, is that jujube paste good?" ”
Ku'er turned around and saw that the contents of the steamer had been opened, took out the wooden spoon and put it on the table, waiting for it to cool. Continue to stir the glutinous rice flour in your hand, add the jujube paste you just took out, and then divide it into small pieces and steam it over high heat.
Thinking of the emperor, she has a faint smile on her face, if the water boat is here, she must be able to see the happiness flowing from the corners of her mouth. She likes to make pastries, that's because the queen mother likes it, and her father likes the jade celery shrimp dumplings made by the queen mother the most, and I don't know if she can make the taste of the queen mother.
When Ku'er went back, everyone had finished eating and chatting, Ku'er went over with snacks, and there were a few maids behind her, each with a plate in their hands.
"Let the emperor wait for a long time." Ku'er smiled and put the plate of jade celery shrimp dumplings in front of the emperor's table, and retreated to the side of the water boat. Watching the maid put the snacks one by one, she slowly spoke: "The concubine and the princess are sweet, and the bitter child doesn't know if this jujube paste osmanthus cake is suitable for the taste of the lady and the princess." ”
The emperor looked at the pastry in front of him and lost his mind for a moment, and the hand that connected the chopsticks handed by the maid trembled slightly. Pick one up and put it in your mouth, the same taste, but not made by the same person: "Ku'er, can you tell me what this snack is called?" ”
"Back to the emperor, this is jade celery shrimp dumplings, I don't know if it is still in line with the emperor's taste."
Seeing the emperor's satisfied nod, the water boat put down the crystal taro cake in his hand unhappily, and whispered in her ear: "Why do you want to make that snack for the emperor, didn't you say that you are not allowed to make it for others?" "That's his exclusive right, this girl actually made it for the emperor to eat.
Eh, Ku'er is a little embarrassed, this jade celery shrimp dumpling was originally learned for his father. She didn't promise him not to make it for anyone else to eat. His hands were placed on his shoulders without a trace: "The emperor will leave in a few days, and Ku'er will not be done to others in the future." ”
Shen Ruosu was eating pastries, it can be said that the food was tasteless, her attention was always on the water boat and Ku'er, looking at the natural intimacy between them, she suddenly felt that the pastry in her mouth was a little difficult to swallow, she put down the pastry in her hand, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and covered up the jealousy, shyness of laughter: "The dim sum made by Sister Ku'er is really delicious, can he teach his sister one day." ”
"If the princess wants to learn hard, she must do her best." She opened her mouth lightly, without any emotions in it, if she really left, the young master and the princess would not be a pair of talented and beautiful women. He lowered his head to hide the sourness in his eyes, and the hand on the shoulder of the waterboat tightened unconsciously.
After using the pastries, the old lady was a little tired and asked the maid to help her go back to rest. The emperor looked at the time and dismissed everyone to go back to rest: "Zhou'er, Ku'er, accompany me to the garden to do it, you can do what you have to do, you don't need to accompany you." ”
The moonlight tonight is not good, and it is even a little shady, and the emperor took the two to the pavilion in the garden: "Don't stand still, there are no outsiders here, sit with me." ”
"Yes." Ku'er should sit next to the waterboat, she is not much of a master and servant, and she has always been on an equal footing with the young master in the waterboat.
"Ku'er's pastry is evocative, not just learned from that master?" He spoke seemingly calmly, and God knew that his palms were already starting to sweat.
"Ku'er is not a teacher, it's just that the young master likes pastries, and Ku'er does it by himself when he has nothing to do, and it is content to get the emperor to like Ku'er."
The emperor was a little disappointed, but quickly put away his leaking emotions. When I was about to ask something, I saw Bai Sheng, who was about to go out, and said a little angrily: "Tianxiao." ”
Bai Sheng stopped, it was a helplessness, how could he be found like this, and put on a smiling face and stepped into the pavilion in a few steps: "Brother Huang is so Yaxing, this place is good." ”
"Don't play tricks on me, are you going to do it again at such a late hour?" Opened his hand to get the pastry and looked at him with displeasure.
Bai Sheng's hand quickly dodged the emperor's folding fan, but he still took a piece of pastry out, and took a bite before he replied: "Brother Huang, I won't even have this bit of freedom, I'll go out and go around, and I'll be back in a while." ”
"Master." Ku'er and the waterboat spoke at the same time, and the tone was full of resentment. The water boat felt that it was no fun to ask the master directly, so he still asked the emperor to hurry up: "Uncle Huang, why does Master call you Brother Huang." ”
"Stupid." Bai Sheng threw him with a pastry and was dodged, "Didn't the teacher tell you about the King of Ease?" ”
Ku'er and the waterboat shook their heads at the same time, proving that there was really none, and Ku'er was even more puzzled, looking at the waterboat and saying: "There is still a king in this world?" ”
The emperor smiled and looked at Bai Sheng, who had a bad face: "I and your master are compatriots of the same mother, but your master has been out of the palace since he was a child, and few people know about the king of Xiaoyao. ”
Ku'er and the water boat had such expressions, no wonder the master dared to act so perversely.
A few people chatted in the garden, and the emperor let them go back, probably too late.
As soon as the waterboat and Ku'er returned to the room, before they could say a word, they saw Yunshang leading people into the waterboat house.
"Bold, who allowed you in?"
Yun Sheng hooked the corners of her mouth, becoming more and more mean: "Little prince, Concubine Jin and the princess just had unbearable abdominal pain in their own room, and the imperial doctor diagnosed that they were poisoned, and the jujube paste and osmanthus cake were broken and scattered." It was done by Ku'er himself, and the little prince still didn't want to embarrass us. Take. ”
"Who dare." The waterboat stopped Ku'er behind him, thinking about who did it, he didn't believe that Ku'er did it, and Ku'er had no reason to do it.
Broken intestines, a poison to the yin, will not kill people, but it will make people have unbearable abdominal pain.
Ku'er saw him looking back at himself and shook his head at him, it was really not himself.
"Found it." A family member came out of it, holding Ku'er's jewelry box in his hand, but there was an extra bag of things in it at some point.
Ku'er's eyes widened, and he clenched the hand of the water boat, that thing was not his own.
Yun Sheng picked up the bag of powder, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened: "Little prince, now we have obtained both stolen goods, and please don't embarrass us." ”
Such an obvious frame, if he can't understand it, he is a fool, clenched Ku'er's hand and looked at Yunsheng's annoying face: "No need, I'll take Ku'er over myself." ”
The emperor sat on the edge of Concubine Jin's bed, his face was gloomy, looking at the kneeling imperial doctor and the pillar, he didn't believe that the girl would do this.
When the waterboat came in with Ku'er, he saw a room full of people, Concubine Jin was even more pale, and he said in pain: "Ku'er, this palace is not harmful to you, why do you want to harm this palace and the princess like this." ”
"Ku'er didn't." Ku'er looked at Concubine Jin and knelt down in front of the emperor, "The emperor Mingjian, Ku'er won't be so much, and there is no reason to do this." ”
"You girl." The princess slapped Ku'er to the ground.
"Mother!" The waterboat helped up the beaten bitter child, stroked her swollen face distressedly, and looked up at the princess unhappily.
"Just because of the marriage between the princess and the boat, you have harmed the concubine and Her Royal Highness the princess like this." The princess looked at Ku'er sadly, "How can you grow up with Zhou'er, even if Zhou'er and the princess get married in the future, the old lady and I will allow you to enter the door, why are you so femme fatale." ”
"Mother, there must be evidence when you speak, is it just because this pastry is from Ku'er's hand that it is determined that Ku'er is poisoned? What's more, what did the son do to have a relationship with the princess, the son still doesn't know about it, and where does the bitter child know. He heard all the loopholes in his mother's words, not to mention that he believed in Ku'er, even if he didn't believe it, just these words of the mother also showed that this matter was not Ku'er's doing.
"Father, mother." Shen Ruosu's sickly voice came from the door.
The princess hurriedly went over to help her, changed her heartache just now, and looked at Shen Ruosu with distress: "Why did the princess get out of bed." ”
Shen Ruosu arrived at the bedside, the emperor helped her sit down, she looked at Ku'er, her face was full of puzzlement: "Sister Ku'er, what did my sister do wrong to let you treat me like this." ”
Ku'er, who had already figured it out, suddenly wanted to laugh, and sure enough, it was a mother and daughter, and even the rhetoric was the same. How could she think that this sister would get better?
