Chapter Seventy-Three: Drunken Lovesickness
Shen Yunxi was a little surprised, but she didn't expect the Queen Mother to have this heart, and then she said to the Queen Mother: "The concubine is here to thank the Queen Mother for her reward." ”
"Help the mourning family to pass." The Empress Dowager looked at Shen Yunxi and said.
"Yes, Queen Mother." After finishing speaking, Shen Yunxi stood up, stepped forward and helped the Queen Mother to walk towards the side hall.
The huge square round table was full of all kinds of delicacies, and the food in the hall was fragrant, Shen Yunxi helped the queen mother to sit down, and she sat down on the left side.
As soon as I sat down, I heard the Queen Mother say to Gonggong Chen: "Go and get the wine." ”
Shen Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and immediately stopped him: "Wait a minute! ”
The Empress Dowager looked at her suspiciously, "Yunxi, what's wrong?" Gonggong Chen also looked at Shen Yunxi puzzled.
Shen Yunxi said lightly: "Queen Mother, you can't drink this wine yet." ”
"Didn't you just say that the mourning family is recovering well? It shouldn't hurt to drink a little, right? The Queen Mother couldn't hide her frustration in her words, and asked unwillingly.
"Yes, Princess. The Queen Mother has been thinking about this wine for a few days. If you don't drink for a day, you will think about it. In the past, the Queen Mother's auscultation was a stomach problem, and she endured it because she was worried about the aggravation of her condition, but now it is not that her stomach is upset, and she is recovering well, so let the Queen Mother have a drink. Gonggong Chen said helpfully.
Shen Yunxi's eyes swept back and forth between the two, but he didn't expect the Queen Mother to be a person who likes wine, so she has the same preferences as her.
Immediately, she stood up and said calmly: "Since the queen mother's illness is responsible for the concubine, the concubine should be responsible for the end, and the queen mother can't drink this wine now." If the concubine agrees, she is not responsible for the queen mother. ”
The Queen Mother's eyes crossed a dark color, Shen Yunxi glanced up at her, and continued: "The Queen Mother's mood for wine The concubines understand, but I also ask the Queen Mother to press it for some more time, and when the Queen Mother recovers, the concubines will find a pot of 'Sauvignon Blanc' for you outside the palace, this wine, the Queen Mother will definitely like it if she tastes it." ”
"Sauvignon Blanc?!" The Queen Mother was shocked, and the loss on her face suddenly disappeared without a trace, and her shrewd eyes shone with joy.
The shock in the queen mother's words, Shen Yunxi heard it clearly, raised his eyes to look at the queen mother, and said tentatively: "Could it be that the queen mother has heard of 'Sauvignon Blanc'?" ”
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "Not only have I heard of it, but I have also drunk it, this wine can be said to be my favorite wine I have ever drunk, but I have never drunk it again after drinking it once, and I don't know where to find this wine, I didn't expect Yunxi to mention it today." ”
After a pause, he looked at Shen Yunxi in disbelief, and said, "Can you really find this 'Sauvignon Blanc'?" If the mourners promise you not to drink alcohol today, can you find more altars? ”
Speaking of wine, the queen mother seemed to have opened the conversation, and the last sentence even carried a little bit of bargaining. Come to think of it, I must have liked this 'Sauvignon Blanc' tightly.
"The emperor has arrived!" Shen Yunxi was about to open his mouth to answer, when a sharp voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
When the sound fell, the figure of Dao Minghuang walked into the hall in a heavy step, and everyone hurriedly bowed to him and said: "Knock on the emperor, the emperor is Jin'an." ”
"Let's all get up." Feng Linye said condescendingly, with a little smile on the corner of his mouth, and then bowed his head slightly to the queen mother in front of the table, bowed and said, "Erchen asks the queen mother for peace." ”
Then he raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother with a smile on her face, and he said, "The Queen Mother is in a good mood today. ”
"Your Majesty, Princess Rui said that she could find a few bottles of 'Sauvignon Blanc' for the Queen Mother." Gonggong Chen stood behind the Empress Dowager and said respectfully, which can be regarded as telling the Empress Dowager Feng Linye why she is so happy.
Feng Linye raised his eyebrows, looked at Shen Yunxi, who was slightly bowing his head on the side, and said as if he suddenly realized: "It turns out that Princess Rui is here." Seeing the table of delicacies in the hall again, "It seems that I have come by chance today." ”
"The concubine has seen the emperor." Shen Yunxi saluted again.
"No need to be polite, sit down." Saying that, Feng Linye sat down on the other side of the Queen Mother, and said to Shen Yunxi, who was seated in response: "As far as I know, this 'Sauvignon Blanc' is difficult to find, and it is really a joy that Princess Rui can find a few bottles." In this way, you can relieve the queen mother's gluttony. ”
Shen Yunxi raised her head, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and she said, "The concubine just met a person who hid wine by chance. After a pause, he looked at the Queen Mother and said, "This is also the blessing of the Queen Mother." ”
The Empress Dowager said appreciatively: "Yunxi is really good at talking. It seems that it is a good idea to let the Imperial Dining Room prepare your favorite dishes today. When she said this, the queen mother couldn't hide a smile between her eyebrows, and she really liked this 'Sauvignon Blanc'.
"Thank the Empress Dowager for her love." Shen Yunxi immediately got up and said, the Empress Dowager turned her head slightly, held her hand, and said, "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be so polite." Sit down. Shen Yunxi nodded and sat down.
Feng Linye looked at it with a smile on his lips, raised his head and glanced at Gonggong Chen, Gonggong Chen nodded slightly, turned around and commanded the palace maid waiting on the side, unveiled the vegetable cup, and started the banquet.
During the banquet, the Empress Dowager paused, turned her head to Shen Yunxi and asked, "Yunxi, how many days will it take for the mourning family's illness to be cured?" "In my eyes, I was full of anticipation.
Shen Yunxi smiled, she understood the deep meaning behind her words, she dropped her chopstick, and replied: "As long as you recuperate with peace of mind, you will see it in a few days." The Queen Mother does not need to be in a hurry. ”
The Queen Mother sighed and said to herself: "Thinking about that Sauvignon Blanc, I can't wait for a day." Then he looked up at the two of them and said with a smile, "Let's continue eating." ”
Shen Yunxi responded and picked up the chopsticks again, but he glanced at the Queen Mother one more time.
The queen mother's love of wine really surprised her, in Shen Yunxi's view, all people who like wine are inseparable from the smell of the rivers and lakes, and now I see the queen mother like this, although she still looks graceful and luxurious, but she can also vaguely see the heroic color of the children of the rivers and lakes.
In other words, it can be said that this Sauvignon Blanc can be so happy as the Queen Mother, which can also be said to be justified.
At that time, when the Tianqi Dynasty was first established, although the dynasty was not yet stable, it did not affect the grand occasion of this 'Sauvignon Blanc', at that time, if this 'Sauvignon Blanc' was not sold in this restaurant, it would have become a joke in the industry. It was the best-selling liquor at the time.
It's just that later, the princes rebelled, Tianqi was in turmoil, and those in troubled times even asked for this secret recipe in order to seek more benefits. From then on, the wine began to disappear from the crowd.
After the pacification of the three feudatories, there was no news of this restaurant, and the 'Sauvignon Blanc' was decreasing day by day, and some of the dignitaries and nobles in the city paid high prices for this altar of 'Sauvignon Blanc', but they were all difficult to buy. Now if you want to ask for an altar, it is even more difficult.
Therefore, when the Queen Mother heard that Shen Yunxi took the initiative to say that she could find this jar of Sauvignon Blanc for her, she was shocked and delighted.
……
After eating, Feng Linye had to go back to the imperial study to review the chapters, so he left without any more stops. Seeing this, Shen Yunxi also got up and retreated, walked out of the Linhua Hall quickly, and caught up with Feng Linye not far from the hall, "Your Majesty, please wait a minute." ”
Feng Linye turned his head, frowning slightly, and when Shen Yunxi walked in front of him, he asked, "Princess Rui, is there something wrong?" ”
Shen Yunxi nodded lightly, but stopped talking.
Seeing this, Feng Linye said: "Words, it's hard to say? After a pause, he said, "If the princess has anything to say, I will never shirk what I can do." ”
