Shangguan Yufei pushed the cake in front of the Queen Mother and said, "Okay, Imperial Grandmother, you have to make a wish on this cake, and then blow out the candle yourself after making a wish." ”

The Queen Mother asked, "Can making a wish on it work?" ”

Yu Fei snorted: "Imperial grandmother, this is a birthday cake, whether it works or not, you have to make a wish, this is what Qing Huan told me." However, this cake was made by the granddaughter herself, and after the imperial grandmother made a wish, she could cut it and share it with everyone. ”

The Queen Mother came back to her senses and said, "Birthday cake? Did you make it yourself? This pastry looks so chic that you can't bear to eat it. ”

Yu Fei didn't spare her, she had to hurry up and make a wish to blow out the candles, and after the Queen Mother did so, she picked up the prepared knife and cut it for the first time, and immediately a palace maid came over to divide the cake on the plate and sent it to the ministers' families.

Everyone here thinks that the delicacies of the mountains and seas have long been commonplace, and all kinds of pastries have never stopped, but who has ever eaten such a cake? The cream melts in the mouth, the soft taste is wrapped around the tongue, stimulating everyone's taste buds to want to have a little more, the fruit is mixed with the cream, fragrant and sweet, neutralizing the greasy taste of the cream, but unfortunately although the cake looks big, there are really many people present, everyone has a little bit of superfluous, everyone is constantly aftertaste after tasting, and they are whispering in private.

The Queen Mother doesn't like hard food when she is old, the cream is soft and glutinous, the cake is soft, the taste is wrapped around the tongue, and it has not dissipated for a long time, but I feel that this taste is unprecedentedly sweet, not better than candy, not better than honey, and not better than any pastry in the imperial dining room, it is a unique taste that can be melted into the heart.

"Fei'er, this cake is very sad for the family, you said that you made it yourself? I've never seen you so diligent. The Queen Mother said with a smile.

"Imperial grandmother, you laugh at me again, my granddaughter is filial to her grandmother, how dare you be lazy. It's just that my grandmother doesn't usually care about me, so she doesn't find out. ”

The Queen Mother laughed again: "You are the first granddaughter of the mourning family, the mourning family always wants you to stay in the palace, but you are unwilling, and now you actually say that the mourning family doesn't love you?" Is it because you are afraid that the mourners have forgotten the reward for you this time? Tell me, what do our big princesses want? ”

Shangguan Yufei immediately said: "Imperial grandmother, granddaughter does not dare to take credit, although this is done by my own hands, but it was taught by Qinghuan, if I win the favor of the imperial grandmother, then the imperial grandmother will reward Qinghuan, the granddaughter will not eat it." ”

"Oh? But the young lady of the Shen Xiang family? helped the queen feed the orchid, and taught you to make this cake, and the mourning family just said that they wanted to reward her. ”

Qing Huan hurriedly came out and knelt down and said: "The courtier just gave the county lord an opinion, this cake was made by the county lord himself, and the courtier didn't dare to ask for a reward." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand to stop: "The mourning family said that they would reward you, and that is what you deserve." I don't know if Miss Three is in her teens this year? When is your birthday? ”

Qing Huan heard Zijin say that she was the birthday in the first month of the new year, and now that the queen mother asked, she only felt bad, and it was very likely that she would be like the queen, and she would be involved in marriage at every turn. But I had to answer truthfully: "Back to the Queen Mother, the fourteenth of the courtiers, it is the birthday of the first month." ”

"Oh, it's time for the New Year." The Queen Mother said thoughtfully: "It's rare that you are good friends with Fei'er, and you will get along better in the future, so the mourning family will do a personal favor, and the mourning family will point you to You'er, and if you marry after the marriage, you will be the princess of Xuanwangfu." Princess Xuan, what do you think? ”

Shangguan Yuyou was overjoyed, and just wanted to stand up and thank him, but Princess Xuan had already knelt down first, and said: "After returning to the mother, the person who the queen mother likes is naturally not wrong, but the concubine has already made people combine the eight characters for You'er, and the concubine's maiden niece, the eldest lady of the Marquis of Jintian, Chu Lin, and the concubine has only made an appointment with Mrs. Marquis of Jintian. ”

The Queen Mother's words were dismissed and she was a little displeased, but Chu Lin had seen it when she was a child, plus the Marquis of Jintian had been in the border pass for many years, and her ancestors had made great contributions to the country, and she was Shangguan Yuyou's cousin, so she also felt that this person was more suitable to be the princess than Qing Huan, but the words were not good to return, so she changed her words and said: "Haven't you been looking forward to choosing a concubine?" Settled so quickly? ”

Princess Xuan replied: "It has just been determined, although the candidate for the princess has been decided, but there are still two side concubines who have not been decided, and the concubines originally planned to be decided together, but the big gift will be later, and it will be discussed after the princess enters the door." ”

The Queen Mother nodded: "That's how it should be, You'er has reached the age of saying kiss, it's better to set it together, and take in his temperament!" The young lady of the Chu family is very suitable, the mourning family is in charge, Xu Qinghuan is the side concubine, so Princess Xuan should have no objection, right? ”

Princess Xuan immediately thanked her and said: "Thank you to the queen mother, the concubines dare not have objections, and the position of the side concubine is only afraid that the third lady has been wronged." ”

Qing Huan knelt there and his legs were numb, listening to the two of them deciding on his marriage in a few words, he looked at Shangguan Yuyou in a hurry, and wanted him to refuse, but he looked at himself with burning eyes, Qing Huan didn't have time to speculate about his thoughts, not to mention being a side concubine, that is, a concubine, as long as there is still a side concubine, she will never agree, no matter what, she must quickly find a way to push it off, and was about to speak, the Queen Mother spoke again.

"Shen Xiang, what do you think of the mourning family marrying the third lady and being the side concubine of King Xuan's son?"

Shen Yue first heard that he was referring to Qing Huan as the princess, and he was naturally very happy, but he immediately turned into a side concubine again, and he felt a little wronged. But the Queen Mother personally pointed out the marriage, if she refused, it would make people feel that they didn't know how to lift, Shen Yue only felt that her scalp was numb, and slowly said: "Back to the Queen Mother, Qinghuan is still young, and there are two sisters above who are not married......"

The Queen Mother said: "It's just settled, and it's not right away, if you can't bear your daughter, it's okay to stay for two more years." ”

Shen Yue was helpless, and was about to thank him, when Mrs. Zhongyi Hou stood up and knelt down beside Qing Huan: "Queen Mother, Qing Huan can't marry into Xuanwangfu." ”

The Queen Mother and Princess Xuan looked at each other and hurriedly asked, "Why is this?" ”

"Qing Huan has been married to the concubine's youngest son Jingyang since he was a child, and both the Xiangye and the Hou Ye of my family know about it, but the whereabouts of Mrs. Yun are unknown over the years, and Qing Huan is still not old enough, so he has never mentioned this matter, and now he has mentioned the marriage of the young lady, and I hope that the Queen Mother will be fulfilled."

"Shen Yue, is there such a thing? Why didn't you mention that Qinghuan has a marriage contract just now? The Queen Mother asked with a very bad face.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Mrs. Hou and Qing Huan's mother-in-law have a very good personal relationship, and the child did talk about the marriage contract when he was young, but since Mrs. Yun disappeared, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Hou Mansion have broken off contact, and the Hou Mansion has never mentioned the marriage contract again, and Mrs. Hou Ye didn't say it, and the ministers almost forgot it."

The Queen Mother's face softened slightly, and she turned her head to ask Qinghuan: "Your biological mother made a marriage contract for you, if your mother is present today, the mourning family can still be changed, but now she doesn't know her life and death, and the mourning family can't ignore her wishes back then." Having said that, although the mourning family wants you to marry into the royal family as a granddaughter-in-law, but you are the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the position of the side concubine of King Xuan's prince is really wronged, and the son of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is more suitable for you. ”

The Queen Mother was a vigorous and resolute harem woman in the early years, since the emperor ascended the throne, she has changed her normal, and her mentality has become more and more peaceful.

But Qing Huan couldn't stand it anymore, she rolled her eyes several times, did this decide her marriage? A few words of kung fu also turned her hand a few times? Do you want her to marry that flower willow disease? She just wanted to say something, Shangguan Yuyou jumped over and knelt down: "Imperial grandmother, you are unfair to your grandson like this, so you said what Qing Huan pointed out to your grandson, what Su Jingyang, how can the joke when he was a child be taken seriously, Qing Huan is definitely unwilling to marry him." ”

Every time Qing Huan wanted to speak, someone always rushed in front of her, and she felt like she was being choked by the neck, which was very uncomfortable. At this time, Shangguan Yuyou intervened like this, and said it to the Queen Mother, and she suddenly didn't know what to say.

Besides, the Queen Mother, Qinghuan couldn't marry Shangguan Yuyou, she was still a little pity, but when she saw Shangguan Yuyou like this, she was amused: "What are you talking about, since her mother has set her family, disobedience is unfilial piety." Thinking that You'er should really get married, this is all anxious, or the emperor's grandmother will make a decree to let the Jintian Hou family return to Beijing early? In this way, your mother and concubine are also on their minds, and the mourning family is still waiting to hold their grandson. ”

Shangguan Yuyou then retorted: "When did the grandson say that he was going to marry his cousin, the mother concubine knew that she was worrying. ”

The Queen Mother didn't want to mention it again: "Okay, I originally wanted to marry Qing Huan, but I didn't expect to pull out so many things." Don't mention this matter, the mourning family no longer cares about the affairs of your children's family, and the marriage is all up to their respective parents. ”

Qing Huan saw that the Queen Mother really didn't want to continue, so she could only thank her first and return to her seat, anyway, she didn't have to marry now, who could say for sure what would happen in the future?

Although it is the birthday of the Queen Mother, but after all, she is old, and she is a little tired after a while, so she will go to the back hall to rest first.

The banquet will not end for a while, Qing Huan was upset, so she left the banquet to blow the wind, she always thought that she was not a person who liked to escape, but now this occasion, it made her feel bored, the palace, the prime minister's mansion, no matter where she stands, there is no place for her to stand, and someone else's words can determine her fate and even life and death. Qing Huan has never worried about marrying Su Jingyang, she has too many ways to get herself out, but what about Shangguan Yuyou? The queen mother may like her sincerely, but Xuanwangfu is the biggest help of the second prince, and Shangguan Yuyou's princess must choose a powerful noble family. Qing Huan thought about himself aimlessly, but he didn't notice the people who followed him.

"Hello Third Miss!" Qing Huan was startled when he heard this, and then he saw the person in front of him, white and pure like a scholar, and he looked like Sven. Qing Huan didn't know him, and he didn't understand what his purpose was secretly following him, so he didn't like it in his heart.

"What does this boy mean by staring at me?"

Qing Huan didn't know who it was, so he was already a little unhappy, but it was just because it was not good to have a seizure in the palace.
