Qin Niang's eyes widened, she didn't make a sound for a while, and she forgot to pick up rice in her mouth, or Gu Chen sandwiched a piece of braised pork into her mouth, and she chewed it mechanically.

After she swallowed it, she finally figured out the relationship and asked anxiously: "No, why did Song Xi give all his financial and human resources to a child she didn't know?" Unless the child can help him get revenge. ”

However, Song Xi is only in his early twenties now, and he is not married, it is impossible to have such a big child, and there are only a few people who are related to him, everyone knows it, so what conditions did this child use to persuade him to easily hand over the things in his hands?

Moreover, when he was assigned before, he seemed to have been assassinated, right?

is such an unreliable relationship, no matter how you look at it, this child doesn't look like a person who is related to him.

So, what is Song Xi for?

"I will apply to Your Majesty tomorrow to re-interrogate Song Xi." As he spoke, he patted her lightly on the head and urged, "Eat quickly, it's going to be cold." ”

Qin Niang thought, anyway, let Gu Chen worry about it, she just needs to take care of herself at home.

Thinking about it like this, she didn't ask much, and began to eat today's new recipe attentively, and said while eating: "This is the new recipe that Ah Yuan brought over today, the chef made a rough handmade for the first time, but it should still be eaten, and you can also pay for it." ”

Seeing that her attention was diverted so quickly, Gu Chen immediately sighed helplessly, picked up a piece of meat, and put it in his mouth.

Everything was in full swing, and in the blink of an eye, half a moon passed again.

Gu Chen finally took half a day to accompany Qin Niang out to take a breath, Qin Niang said that she was going to Chen's class to listen to the play, Gu Chen naturally didn't dare to refute, but just sent someone to Chen's class to say hello, and asked them to leave him a separate private room in advance, so as not to be too many people and be bumped into.

Just like those prisoners who had been locked up for a long time and were suddenly released from the cage, they were particularly refreshed, Qin Niang woke up as soon as the morning dawned, shouting for Qiu Tao to help her change clothes, Gu Chen looked at her speechlessly.

"Madam, you got up so early, and the Chen family class didn't open the door so early." Gu Chen stretched out his hand and tugged at her, and said.

Qin Niang glanced at him, and said angrily: "Naturally, I want to eat breakfast first, and the dishes on the recipe have not been paid all over again, according to the cook, I have learned new tricks for breakfast recently, and I have done a lot of taste, how can I go out to eat?" ”

Since Fang Yuanyuan's recipe was brought over, she has asked people to make it almost every day, and the cook is also a smart person, and after doing it a few times, she found that although the names of less than twenty dishes are written on it, it can be varied and make hundreds of dishes.

She has one trick a day, which is enough to be fresh.

Now, as far as she is concerned, she is the imperial chef in the palace, and she is not as good as her own.

Gu Chen reluctantly got up, and after the two had breakfast, they took the carriage and drove all the way out of the gate of Gu's house.

Chen Jiaban is at the end of the antique street, it is a good place to calm down, the rent is not expensive, but it is very convenient for those rich people to come to listen to the play.

Along the way, Qin Niang lifted the curtain from time to time to look out, feeling that everything outside was fresh, just like those outsiders who entered the city for the first time.

"It's still a little early, there's no one on the street, what can you see now?" Gu Chen stroked her hair speechlessly, and said in a somewhat joking voice, "Others don't know which countryside this is from." ”

Qin Niang opened his hand angrily and muttered: "It's not that you are busy with official business all day long, and you don't accompany me out, making me like a bird in a cage. ”

As soon as her voice fell, she saw a familiar voice sneakily entering a pharmacy, and she immediately asked Gu Bai to stop.

Gu Chen was about to speak, but was stopped by him.

Gu Chen's face was suspicious, and she looked towards the pharmacy in an instant.

However, the man had already entered the pharmacy, and he saw nothing.

"What are you looking at?" Gu Chen asked.

Qin Niang glanced at him and whispered, "Just now, I seemed to have seen the peony medicine of the palace maid beside Concubine Mi. ”

Gu Chen twisted his eyebrows and looked at her puzzled, she was just a palace maid, what was so strange.

Qin Niang saw that he hadn't reacted yet, and she couldn't take much care of it, she opened the curtain in front of her and said to Gu Bai: "Gu Bai, go to the pharmacy and take a look, what she wants to buy from the girl who went in just now." ”

Gu Bai is also a smart person, Qin Niang let him in, he immediately knew her intentions, and immediately without asking, he jumped out of the carriage and shook into the pharmacy.

At this time, Qin Niang saw Gu Bai enter the pharmacy, so she spoke: "That peony is like a thief, and she came out to visit the pharmacy early in the morning, who knows what she wants to do?" It stands to reason that there is no medicine in the imperial pharmacy in the palace? Do you still need a big palace maid to come out and buy it in person? ”

Qin Niang once lived in the palace for a period of time, so she naturally knew one or two of the big palace maids around these concubines, not to mention, this peony looked pretty good, and people couldn't help but look at the good-looking ones twice.

Therefore, she was so impressed with this peony that even though she had changed into casual clothes, she recognized it at a glance.

"When you say that, I really remember, I recently heard that Concubine Mi frequently went in and out of the imperial study, and said that she had a good recipe, and specially made food for His Majesty, and every day I have to go to the imperial study to deliver snacks, and Your Majesty is very pleased." Gu Chen touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

It hasn't been a day or two since Concubine Mi entered the palace, and before that, the emperor couldn't even remember to go to her palace a few times a year, but in recent days, I heard that the emperor frequently stayed in Concubine Mi's palace, and it seems that the emperor didn't seem to be angry with Concubine Mi because he was forced to set up an eleventh prince.

That's a little weird.

Could it be that the emperor really plans to set up such a little prince?

Not to mention anything else, the queen also gave birth to a son-in-law, and if there is a concubine, it is a taboo in the royal family, even if the queen doesn't say anything, but how can those upright courtiers be willing?

However, the queen's side seemed surprisingly quiet.

She was like a woman who didn't exist, and no matter what the emperor decided, she was indifferent.

Gu Chen thought, this may be their royal internal affairs, he is an outsider who can't control it, and he doesn't want to take care of it, at present, he just does his duty.

Soon, Gu Bai came back.

He lifted the curtain and reported: "Young lady, my subordinates went in just now to see, the girl didn't buy anything, but asked the doctor a few strange questions, she said that her master has been a little nervous recently, his body is empty, and the doctor can't see anything wrong, I don't know if she has eaten something." ”

Qin Niang raised her eyebrows, looked at him with interest, and waited for him to continue.

Gu Bai understood, and he didn't sell his official position, and quickly continued: "The doctor told her a few things that the food could not be eaten together, and he also made a list for her, and told her to bring her master over when she was free to let him take a look so that he could make a judgment." ”

The doctor has a benevolent heart, thinking that there is a patient who naturally hopes that the other party can be cured as soon as possible, so the doctor can't help but say a few more words, and let her tell her master to pay attention to her diet after she goes back, and if it is not good, she will come to check the pulse and let the doctor see it.

Qin Niang narrowed her eyes, a bold guess flashed through her mind in an instant, she looked out of the curtain, and saw that the peony once again probed out of the drugstore, and then quickly left the street.

She didn't pay attention to a carriage parked across the street, and she didn't notice that Gu Bai, who had just entered the pharmacy and looked around, was sitting in the carriage.

As soon as she left the curio street, she disappeared quickly, with the same hurried steps as when she came.

Gu Bai saw that the people were leaving, so he asked, "Young lady, are you still going to Chen's class?" ”

Qin Niang nodded: "Go, why don't you go, I finally came out." ”

As she spoke, she put the doubts just now behind her, she believed that with Gu Chen's cleverness, he should have guessed that he would naturally deal with the rest of the things, and she didn't need to bother with it anymore.

As she thought, Gu Chen was indeed concerned.

Thinking of Concubine Mi's frequent appearances in front of the emperor recently, as well as the emperor's closeness to her, he naturally guessed the key.

"Okay, you can accompany me to listen to a play, and then go to Yuehua Mansion to have a snack and go to your side, let Gu Bai send me back." Qin Niang naturally also knows that as long as some things are not over for a day, it is impossible for them to truly live with peace of mind.

Gu Chen looked at her apologetically: "I'm sorry, I finally came out to accompany you and encountered these troubles." ”

Qin Niang shook her head and said very knowingly: "You are busy now, it is also for our future good, I don't want a black hand to always hide behind us, ready to attack us, you go busy, find them out as soon as possible, and then we will take the children out to travel." ”

When Gu Chen thought of the blueprint she had sketched, some yearning suddenly arose in his heart.

He nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, that day is not far away, and, I'm sure that by the end of this month, they should make a big move, now in order to confirm my guess, I have to go to the palace first, you listen to the play here first, and I will come back in a while." ”

After Gu Chen sent Qin Niang to the private room of the Chen family's class, he told Gu Bai to protect him, and left quickly.

Qin Niang stroked her lower abdomen, a light smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and as soon as she looked up, she saw a familiar figure.

She lifted the corner of the curtain, looked at the slender shadow in surprise and said, "Fourth princess, why are you here?" ”

Song Ru didn't seem to expect to meet her here, she was overjoyed, walked over to her, sat next to her and said, "Sister Qin, I heard that you are coming here today, so I came here to find you." ”
