Chapter 986: Delicacies of the Mountains and Seas
In Zhang Zijuan's dormitory, a maid came to report early in the morning, saying that the emperor went to Liu Wanxi's side last night and spent the night at her side, and it was almost noon when the emperor left.
This made Zhang Zijuan very curious, didn't the emperor never go to his cousin's place? Why was it the first day of the Lunar New Year yesterday, and the emperor didn't come to her, but went to Liu Wanxi, which is a bit unreasonable.
It must be that Liu Wanxi, a cheap woman, pretended to be pitiful and won the emperor's sympathy.
After Liu Mei came to her daughter's side, Zhang Zijuan told her about it, and she also felt that it was a bit unusual for the emperor to go to Liu Wanxi's side in a dignified manner. She suggested that Zhang Zijuan take the time to go to Liu Wanxi's side, besides, this is the time of the Chinese New Year, and it is also appropriate for her cousins to walk around to pay New Year's greetings.
After her mother said this, Liu Wanxi planned to visit her cousin in the evening, and took her mother with her by the way, after all, everyone is a family.
In the afternoon, after a little dinner, Zhang Zijuan and Liu Mei went to Liu Wanxi's side.
As soon as the two arrived outside Liu Wanxi's bedroom, they heard the maid in the house say that Liu Wanxi's mother was eating snacks.
Under the leadership of the maid, the two followed into Liu Wanxi's room.
Liu Wanxi's courtyard is dressed very simply, Zhang Zijuan didn't expect that after coming to the palace for more than a year, Liu Wanxi's life would be so low-key.
After entering Liu Wanxi's room, there were several delicacies from the mountains and seas on her table, all of which were extremely expensive.
Zhang Zijuan secretly thought, Liu Wanxi, you really know how to pretend, the courtyard where you live is so simple, and you eat such good things, she has been in the palace for so long, and she hasn't eaten them.
"Cousin, are you eating snacks alone?"
"Wanxi, my aunt has come to see you, for the Chinese New Year, you are here alone, and you don't come to our Zijuan side to talk."
Zhang Zijuan and Liu Mei both greeted Liu Wanxi with smiles.
"Auntie, cousin, why are you here? Come and sit down and eat together. It's rare to be able to eat something so good once. ”
Liu Wanxi suspected in her heart that the news that the emperor spent the night with her yesterday must have spread, otherwise the two mothers and daughters had never come to her bedroom since they entered the palace, and today the sun really came out of the west.
Liu Mei saw such good things, all of them were some nourishing seafood, two bowls of sea cucumbers, shiitake mushrooms, black chicken, deep-sea abalone, a total of seven or eight kinds of cuisine, each of which is usually not seen.
Liu Mei immediately walked over, looking at the food on the table, her saliva was about to stay.
"Xiao Cui, go get two pairs of chopsticks." After Xiaocui went down, Liu Wanxi asked Zhang Zijuan to come over and sit down and eat together.
Zhang Zijuan had never eaten such a good dish, so she came over, the maid brought chopsticks, and the three of them ate it.
When it was almost time to eat, Zhang Zijuan asked, "Cousin, why do you have so many delicacies from the mountains and seas?" These dishes are usually difficult to see. ”
"Cousin, these were specially sent by the father-in-law in the morning, and they were sent by the emperor."
Liu Wanxi said lightly, and Zhang Zijuan's heart suddenly became jealous.
The emperor was too partial, and he actually sent so many delicious foods to Liu Wanxi, a cheap woman, and he didn't come to her for the New Year.
However, she was unhappy in her heart, and her face was still full of smiles.
"The emperor really has a heart, and he came to my sister for the New Year."
"Sister, has the emperor ever been to your side?"
"No, the emperor hasn't been here since the queen came back. It seems that the emperor will only come over after the queen goes on the expedition. ”
"Sister, the emperor is very kind to you, and he will come to your side to pay New Year's greetings, maybe he will go to your side tonight." Liu Wanxi seemed to be comforting Zhang Zijuan, but she actually wanted to be angry with her.
"I hope so!"
Several people were chatting, and suddenly the eunuch's father-in-law came to announce, and when he saw that the three of them were there, the eunuch said directly: "Wanxi Niangniang, the emperor will come back tonight, and the slave will come to announce it first, Niangniang, you should prepare early." ”
The emperor is here again? This was unexpected by Yoo Wanxi.
However, the most surprising thing was Zhang Zijuan and Liu Mei's mother and daughter, the emperor was still addicted, and he came to this slut's side again.
As soon as she remembered that Liu Wanxi said just now that the emperor would definitely go to her tonight, she was angry.
This slut, who usually comes to her, always urges her to let go of their Liu family with the emperor, and now that the emperor has come to her, she can mention it herself.
After the eunuch gave the order, he left.
"Wanxi, since the emperor is coming, then Zijuan and I will leave first, it will not be good to meet the emperor in a while." Liu Mei is still quite afraid of the emperor in her heart, and the emperor will definitely not want others to be present when he comes to Liu Wanxi's side. If she is with Zhang Zijuan, how embarrassing would it be? The emperor will definitely be angry in his heart, and when the time comes, it will be terrible to arrest her again when he gets angry.
Zhang Zijuan also smiled and said, "That cousin serves the emperor well, and I will leave my mother first." ”
"Thank you sister and aunt for coming to see me, I'll send you out."
Yoo Wan-hee is now smiling proudly.
"Cousin, about my uncle and their affairs, since the emperor is here, you can tell the emperor in person. The emperor is in a good mood during the New Year, and maybe he will be exempted from their sins. Before leaving, Zhang Zijuan did not forget to remind.
"Thank you sister for reminding me, I will mention this matter to the emperor."
After Zhang Zijuan's mother and daughter left, Liu Wanxi scolded in her heart, I don't know what you two mothers and daughters think, finally the emperor came to me, how could I be so stupid?
Besides, if they have a chance for their father, as long as the emperor often comes to her in the future, even if she doesn't say it, the emperor will think of her relatives.
She wouldn't be so stupid to mention such an unhappy thing at this time.
Zhang Zijuan, who returned to her bedroom, asked Liu Mei: "Mother, do you think Liu Wanxi will talk to the emperor about his father and brother?" ”
"Wanxi has been smart and smart since she was a child, and at this time, it is impossible for her to mention this matter after a few years. Besides, I don't know what method she used to make the emperor, who had never been to her, stay with her for two days in a row. She will definitely seize this opportunity. If she wants to save my eldest brother and them, she will definitely think of a better way. ”
"Mother, so to speak, Liu Wanxi promised to mention it to the emperor on the surface, and when the emperor comes, she won't talk about it?"
"Aren't you like that? Your cousin is not stupid, don't take people for fools. Why do you think she often comes to you and asks you to intercede for my eldest brother's family in front of the emperor? Liu Mei was a little jealous of Liu Wanxi, originally Liu Wanxi couldn't get the emperor's favor, she really felt that this niece was a little pitiful, but now she felt that her daughter was pitiful.
"That's right! My cousin is too scheming, but fortunately I didn't fall for her. ”
In fact, Zhang Zijuan herself is the same, she has always promised Liu Wanxi that she would intercede with the emperor about Liu Gongquan, but in fact, every time the emperor came, she didn't mention half of it at all.
