Chapter 355: Ulterior motives

"Madame was also born beautiful, no wonder Princess Elilian is so outstanding, and Prince Dahui is so majestic and handsome!" Liu Mengyan also praised.

"Princess Yi is beautiful. Even my brother said that Elilian was not as good as the princess! Eliaine smiled heartily, and there was no discomfort on her face.

"DaHui never lies. Where can you compare Princess Yi's bearing? Mrs. Zixi glanced at her daughter and said.

"Mother!" Elilian looked at her little mouth and said coquettishly.

Madame was wrong. I have brought some silver needles to my wife today. Liu Mengyan looked at Qiu Yun on the side and said with a smile.

Qiu Yun immediately stepped forward and offered Liu Mengyan tea to Mrs. Zixi.

A little caution, but the heart and enthusiasm have arrived.

Mrs. Zixi went to open the lid of the box with her own hands and looked at the tea leaves carefully.

"This tea is superb! I used to drink it like a leaf...... "Lady Zixi laughed.

"Madame is right, the tea leaves are all leaves." Liu Mengyan said with a smile.

"But no, this good tea is the time to pick, and the second is not the time, or it is old, tea is knowledge." Mrs. Zixi said with a smile.

Madame said it perfectly. I don't understand either. Liu Mengyan put down the teacup and said.

"The princess is humble!" Mrs. Zixi smiled, "Elilian, are you going to see the pastries prepared by your mother?" ”

Princess Elilian rose in response and went out.

"Madame is really Lan Xinhui, and she will make pastries herself?" Liu Mengyan said, but secretly said in her heart: Mrs. Zixi is really a person who understands the mood, no wonder she was able to enter the palace of Uzi with a commoner woman, and even pressed the queen underneath, which was deeply favored by King Fran.

"Actually, I didn't know how to do anything before. But since marrying the queen, she must have something different. So I tried to do it. Mrs. Zixi smiled. I saw that she was about thirty years old, but because she was very well maintained, the skin on her face did not have any wrinkles.

"Madame knows how to heal, this is amazing. In Da Tuoba, Mengyan has never seen a woman who can be a healer. Liu Mengyan said, "Mrs. also learned to make pastries, which is what Mengyan can't do." ”

"If Princess Yi is interested, I can teach you. I believe that you will be better than the blue. Mrs. Zixi said.

"Good. If there is a chance, Mengyan will definitely ask her wife for advice. Liu Mengyan said.

The two chatted very closely, and there was no disadvantage at all because of the age gap.

When Elilyn brought a plate of steaming pastries herself.

"This is the most beautiful pastry Mengyan has ever seen!" Liu Mengyan immediately admired, "Although there are all kinds of pastries in the capital, which are also made in the shape of petals, they are not as good as Madame's pastries." ”

"This is a pattern designed by the lady herself, and the king has the craftsman make the mold. There is nothing like this on the outside. A servant girl laughed.

"Wherever my mother cares, my father is extremely supportive." Elilian also said.

No wonder Dahui can be so good. His mother was a woman with such a delicate mind, so naturally she would not give birth to mediocrity.

The three of them tasted pastries with a few maids, talking and laughing.

In that room, Dahui and Tuoba Zeyan, Naji accompanied Tuoba Yeze, and was drinking tea in King Fran's house.

The old king is in good spirits and has recovered a lot.

"Your Majesty, the Royal Highness and Princess Elilian have made a marriage contract with the consent of Prince Najib. This time, the main hall just wanted to come and ask His Majesty the King to marry the princess in person. Tuoba Yeze said suddenly.

"Father, His Royal Highness King Xian is extraordinary, and he has a deep affection for his sister. What a good match. Najib hurriedly said on the side.

"Father, Elilian's wishes are the first thing to consider. She's the jewel of your father's palm, and you don't want her to be unhappy in the future. Dahui endured the disgust in his heart and tried to calm his tone.

"Second brother, His Royal Highness King Xian is here, take a look for yourself, is Randao worthy of our Princess Elilian?" Najib Road.

"Whether you deserve it or not, you have to have the final say." Dahui does not let the tunnel.

"Najib, Dahui, don't argue. Both Highnesses are here, so don't lose the grace of the country of Uzi. The old king glanced at them both with displeasure.

"His Majesty the King is very right. I won't talk about it today. Just now, the main hall was anxious, and I ask His Majesty the King for forgiveness! Tuoba Yeze immediately said politely.

At this moment, the maid from Mrs. Zixi's side came over with a plate of beautiful and delicate pastries.

It turned out that Mrs. Zixi sent it to them to taste.

"This was invented by Dahui's mother. I love it. Two Highnesses, please taste it. King Fran himself introduced.

Najib couldn't help but turn his face away, hiding his disdain in the bottom of his eyes.

"Madame Zixi is really ingenious. I heard that Mrs. Zixi is still His Majesty's doctor? Tuoba Yeze said suddenly.

"Exactly. Zixi is still your great Tuoba person. She was an extremely intelligent woman. Her body has always been conditioning. King Fran praised without hesitation.

"No wonder Prince Dahui is so good, it turns out that Mrs. Zixi is so smart." Tuoba Yeze also praised.

Tuobazer quietly observed him, and naturally took the gauze wrapped around his left hand into his eyes.

Naji didn't understand why Tuoba Yeze helped Dahui speak, so he said a little impatiently: "Father, Naji remembered what his mother had told him to do, and he wanted to help her take care of it." ”

The queen was cooking a banquet held at the palace this afternoon, and Najib was naturally unhappy when he saw that his father was blindly praising that Zixi, but not saying anything to the queen.

After Najib left, Dahui and a few others accompanied the king to eat a few pastries, and then withdrew. After all, the king's body has not fully recovered, and he cannot sit for a long time and cannot speak for a long time.

Back in the room where she was resting, Liu Ruli had already returned, talking to the two maids.

"Your Highness is back?" When she saw his calm face, she knew that there must not be much going on with King Fran.

"The princess has this pastry here, too!" Tuoba Zeyan walked over and saw the snacks on the table at a glance.

"Yes. It was made by Mrs. Zixi herself. What a beautiful and intelligent woman, no wonder she was able to give birth to such wonderful children as Dahui and Princess Elilian! Liu Mengyan said.

"The princess is praising Dahui?" Tuoba Zeyan heard the sound outside the strings, and pretended to be displeased.

The two maids have long been accustomed to seeing him in front of Liu Mengyan, sometimes playing tricks and coercing like a naughty boy, sometimes affectionate like the sea, and sometimes passionate and impulsive.

"Your Highness has thought too much." Liu Mengyan smiled lightly, "How is King Fran's health?" ”

"Not good. Although the spirit is okay, it can be seen that it is only in the morning and evening. Tuoba Ze said truthfully.

Rao is a healer, no matter how good he is, he can't compete with the creator of nature.

"If anything happens to the king, according to the current situation, I am afraid that the country of Uzi will have civil strife." Liu Mengyan waved at Qiu Yun and Jinxiu, signaling them to go out and guard the door.

"According to Mrs. Zixi's character, you should be ready!" Liu Mengyan said, "After meeting Mrs. Zixi, the concubine felt that Prince Dahui had a better chance of winning. ”

Tuoba Zeyan was slightly surprised, turned around and curled the corners of his mouth and said, "This hall is a little curious, this Mrs. Zixi." ”

"Your Highness, it's better to take advantage of this opportunity to meet Hua Qianchang!" Liu Mengyan said with a smile.

"Since the princess admires it so much, let's see it!" Tuoba Ze said.

At that time, Tuoba Feng walked around the palace, and in the end he got nothing, so he had to ask for guilt.

"What do you say? It's gone? After listening to his report, Liu Mengyan changed color in surprise.

He said that he went out to Gong, and when he saw that he was going and did not return, he went to Gongfang's house to look for him. No one. He also walked around the palace and did not see him. Tuoba Feng frowned.

Speaking of which, this is his dereliction of duty!

When Tuoba Zeyan heard this, he said with a little displeasure: "It seems that he went by himself." It's just that this palace shouldn't just enter and leave. ”

Liu Mengyan was worried that Hua Qianbian would be discovered by Tuoba Yeze, so she immediately said, "You have been with him all the time?" But what's wrong, or what has someone said to him? ”

Tuoba Feng remembered Tuoba Quan's words, but he didn't want to tell others about his dereliction of duty at the moment, so he said, "I didn't say anything. ”

Liu Mengyan knew Hua Qianchang's personality very well, and thought for a while: "You take this concubine to the house where you are resting!" ”

"Princess!" Tuoba Ze said, "Tuoba Feng must have already checked the house, so why does the princess have to go there herself?" ”

"The concubine has seen his portrait and should be able to find him." Liu Mengyan said firmly, "Your Highness, if you don't find him immediately, the concubine is afraid that His Highness will miss him." ”

Tuoba Zeyan wanted to say something, but it could be seen that her eyes were surprisingly resolute, so she had to say: "This palace will accompany the princess together." The main hall wants to see today, what kind of strange person is this person that the princess is talking about? ”

The two followed Tuoba Feng out of the house and walked towards the place where they were resting.

The house was full of guards who followed into the palace this time, not only the people from Tuoba Zeyan, but also the people from Tuoba Yeze.

The moment Liu Mengyan and Tuoba Zeyan entered, a pair of eyes quietly parted from them.

It was a very beautiful pair of eyes. The owner of the eyes is none other than Qin Muxue. It turned out that she and her brother Qin Moxiao put on men's clothes and entered the palace with Tuoba Yeze.

Liu Mengyan's eyes slid over everyone one by one, and when she saw a slightly thin figure with her back to her, she paused for a moment.

Eventually, she found a man in a corner of the house.

Liu Mengyan then walked up, and Tuoba Zeyan naturally followed closely and walked to the corner of the room together.

"Tuoba guard, is he His Highness's guard?" Liu Mengyan looked at him and turned her face to look at Tuoba Peak.

Tuoba Feng shook his head.
