Chapter 108: Temptation

After a while, Grandpa Xia opened the door from the house, his eyes rolled around, and then approached her and whispered. "The slave still reminds the princess to be careful, and to say less things that shouldn't be said, Your Majesty's temper today is not very good, you know."

"Yes, thank you Father-in-law Xia for reminding me."

"Hey, okay, then please let the mother in. Your Majesty and the Lord are inside. ”

He opened the door, and after Xiao Liangyun entered, he immediately closed the door again.

The nave of the Heart Cultivation Hall is wider than the other halls, the bright lights are shining, and Helian Qian is sitting in front of him, and Helian is standing under Helian Qian, and the two of them have serious expressions. "Son-in-law, see father." Helian raised his head and found that it was Xiao Liangyun, and then waved his hand and said, "Well, you're here." Why didn't you stay in the palace today and come to the palace? ”

"Erchen goes to the palace of the Queen Mother every day to say goodbye to the Queen Mother, isn't Erchen unwell in the morning, and then delayed. Erchen thought about coming over to say hello to the Queen Mother in the afternoon, and then did some massage for the Queen Mother to soothe and soothe, just Qiluo and Erchen said that Kunning Palace was more lively, and it seemed that the Queen Mother's mother's house was chatting in Kunning Palace, so Erchen did not bother, and went to Changchun Palace to chat with the concubine Niangniang. ”

"Concubine? Do you know her well? ”

"It's not very familiar, but the concubine is kind-hearted, didn't the son save the child in her womb some time ago, when she passed by the Changchun Palace, the concubine invited the son to have a cup of tea."

"Well, that's good. You and your concubine are both good people, and she regards you as a lifesaver, so it's normal to take more care of you. Helian Qian felt that there was nothing wrong with this, and nodded. It's also a lot of anger. Seeing that Xiao Liangyu glanced at He Lianye a little anxiously, and then laughed angrily. "I'm not a tiger or beast, it's just that I've been chatting with Ye'er for a long time about the court, so it's clear that you're here to find Ye'er, not me."

"Hehe, this was discovered by my father, and my son was a little worried about the prince, so I was in a hurry outside just now, so I rushed in. Looking at the father Emperor Haihan. ”

"Okay, I know that the two of you are deeply affectionate, and you raise your eyebrows. I have also said a lot of things in the court today, and I have said a lot just now, and now I am tired, so I will let you two go, and when you go out, let Xiao Xiazi prepare some cool dinner and bring it to me. ”

A cooler dinner? Xiao Liangyun suddenly had a plan, "Speaking of a cooler dinner, I don't know if my father knows, there is a Zhang Imperial Chef in the imperial dining room, and the Queen Mother recommended it to Yu'er a few days ago, and made two extremely delicious dishes, one is called Fish Doll Crossing the River, and the other is called Cold Lotus Root Noodles." One is salty and the other is sweet, although the appetite of these two dishes is different, but after eating it, it obviously feels extremely refreshing. My father is busy in the morning today, and my son is very anxious when he sees that his father is so tired, why don't you let my son try it this dinner? ”

"Oh? Would you do it too? ”

"That day, when Imperial Chef Zhang made it for the prince to eat, the prince praised the delicious cooking made by Imperial Chef Zhang, and Yu'er remembered it, and then followed the imperial chef to learn a trick or two."

Helian Qian saw that this young couple did not bother him like the crown prince, but was very affectionate, and the internal and external operations were extremely reasonable, and his heart suddenly felt much more comfortable. "Okay, since you said so, then I'll wait, but you don't have to go so far to the imperial dining room, just go to my little kitchen, and tell the people what ingredients you want, and let them help you get them."

"The retainers obey."

Then Xiao Liangyu immediately dragged He Lianye to the small kitchen inside, Helian Qian kept staring at the small movements of Xiao Liangyu and He Lianye, with a smile of relief on the corner of his mouth, and then he also fell into memory.

"The concubine can't guarantee that every chef's cooking can satisfy His Majesty's appetite, so the concubine silently wrote down His Majesty's preference for eating for so long, and then went to the imperial dining room to steal the school, and after the adults who learned the imperial dining room felt that the concubine had done a good job, the concubine dared to give it to His Majesty to taste." More than twenty years ago, it was a very gentle woman, with a delicate and bright face, a gentle smile like water, and eyes full of starlight and love, as if no one else in this world had anything to do with her, she could only see him.

"Then you have to tell me, didn't I tell you, you don't need to cook, you don't need to do needlework, I want you to be the most favored queen, I want you to be the most honorable person, you look at your hands are burned with oil, don't you think I will feel distressed?"

"Your Majesty worked hard for the concubines in the previous dynasty, and the concubines wanted to be Your Majesty's ordinary wife in the harem, and as a wife, she wanted to take care of Your Majesty. The concubine knows that His Majesty likes sweet and sour food, so only the concubine can make food that His Majesty likes for His Majesty, and this is the glory of the concubine. "It's still those gentle eyes, a glance for ten thousand years.

Another memory flashed through his mind, when he had just gotten up and was ready to go to the morning court. Young and handsome, he looked at his wife obsessively, dressed in a plain dress, without powder, his eyebrows were black without painting, and his lips were red without painting, delicate like a porcelain doll. The palace maid serving below was just about to put on makeup for her, only to see him say, "Otherwise, I won't go to the morning court today, and let me paint the queen's makeup today." ”

"Your Majesty, don't make trouble, it's important to go to the early court, if you let the civil and military officials know that Your Majesty is not going to the early dynasty because of the matter of the concubine's boudoir, the civil and military officials will say that the concubine."

"What? How about my own queen, my wife's makeup, isn't it an important thing to draw eyebrows in the boudoir? ”

"Okay, okay, Your Majesty......"

Later, she still drew a pair of slender eyebrows for her according to him, lightly touched her red lips, and outlined a pair of extremely delicate flowers between her eyebrows, which seemed to be the pattern of phoenix flowers. Then, Fu Min at that time still smiled and urged him to go out to the morning court.

The past is really beautiful, isn't it, Fu Min at that time was simple and sweet, only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was the same age as Xiao Liangyun.

Then, his brow furrowed, and suddenly he thought of that day again. It was a thunderous and lightning night, and she was found out by the Praetorian Guards that there was evidence that the Qixiang Palace had collaborated with the enemy to murder the emperor's heir and intended to rebel, and then she was sent to the cold palace. Then, Taichen Palace gave birth to a son, the Liu family, and the Marquis of Fu Guo were beheaded by the whole family.

That day in the cold palace, he remembered it all his life, no longer delicate makeup, no longer bright eyes, only panic and disbelief in his eyes. and indifference until the end, "This palace has not harmed the emperor's heir, this palace has no intention of rebellion, what do you want this palace to explain?" ”

The unwilling eyes, the disbelieving eyes, the eyes that finally dimmed, and the bitter laughter. "Concubine, send your majesty."

After giving birth to a child in the cold palace, after Fu Min became the abolished queen, the people in the cold palace did not embarrass her too much, after all, she was a virtuous queen praised by everyone, and the people did not believe that she would rebel at all. So, He Lian was well taken care of overnight, and she, when it was snowing one day, lay on her side in front of the window of the cold palace, slowly closed her eyes, and died of depression.

"Fu Min, Fu Min, how many times do you want me to say it!"

"Father? Father? ”

A call dragged Helian Qian's thoughts back, he was stunned for a moment, and then calmed down. "Huh?"

It's still the Heart Nourishing Hall just now, it's still the dragon chair, and he is no longer the self he was back then, and the infant He Lianye who was standing in front of him has also become a seven-foot man, and Xiao Liangyun asked with a puzzled look with a look on his face with two delicate side dishes. "Father, are you okay? Not feeling well? ”

"Huh? It's not that no, I'm probably a little tired. What's wrong, you're done? ”

"Yes, it's done, please try it." Serving the side dishes, it was a fish doll and the lotus root flour just now, Helian Qian took the silver chopsticks handed by Xiao Liangyu, gently sandwiched a piece of lotus root powder, and his face changed again in an instant. Then he took another piece of fish doll's fish jelly meat, shook his head and couldn't believe it.

It's delicious, it's really delicious, but this craftsmanship is really similar to Fu Min, like, how did Xiao Liangyu know her?

"What's the matter, Father, isn't it delicious?"

"No, it's delicious, Imperial Chef Zhang is doing well, you are also learning very well, let Imperial Chef Zhang be promoted to head chef later, and I will also reward you with two jade hangings."

"Thank you father Huang Longen, then Yu'er and the prince will retire first."

"Okay, you two go back, be careful on the road, and let Xiao Xiazi hang the jade to the palace tomorrow."

"Yes, my son obeys."

When they closed the door and walked for a while, the two of them still had smiling expressions, until they left the Suzaku Gate, and their expressions instantly became serious.

"Did you see his expression just now?"

"See."

"We should have worked on this move."

"It's not enough, he just thinks about her, and it doesn't prove anything." He Lianye's expression was not very good, "I know, but the pressure on him today is almost enough, I have psychedelic powder in that dish just now, he should dream of the queen mother at night." Let him be suspicious for a few days, plus the factory was burned, with his suspicious nature, it should be suspicious of his head. ”

"You went to Changchun Palace today?"

"Yes, in fact, I wouldn't have suspected Yan Lingyu's head, but when I went to Changchun Palace today, I got two pieces of information that verified my thoughts, and it is very likely that Ruan Yu is not the mastermind of several things, but makes a wedding dress for another person. A crystal coral is placed in the Changchun Palace, and the image and color are all of the top quality. The focus is not on the coral, but on the furnishings next to the coral. ”

"What did you find?"

"Next to the coral was a string of red agate-like ornaments, but I seemed to smell a hint of musk, and the carnelian was hollow, and I suspected that there was musk in it. But fortunately, she took it out, and there was no big problem. Coupled with the information that Concubine He told me, that cold flower, I fully suspect that it was not Ruan Yu who wanted her child to die that day, but her Concubine Yan. ”
