Chapter 170: A false alarm
Several ministers, Xiaoyi, Yan Qinghan and Lu went to the imperial dining room together, and at this time, the imperial dining room was also lively, Du Ruosheng and the big and small attendants in the imperial dining room were also talking and laughing, not at all as compelling as the royal family and nobles, but it made people feel very friendly.
While talking and laughing while making dim sum, Xu Ling also ate the dim sum made by Du Ruosheng as he wished, and the mood was also very happy, just when everyone was immersed in joy, a waitress looked a little flustered and entered the imperial dining room.
"Lord in charge, when the slave maid left the Chengyuan Palace, I heard the Queen Mother say that she would take the ministers to the imperial dining room to see the snacks prepared by the Queen Mother!"
The waitress's words made everyone present look dazed, and so did Du Ruosheng, how could they know that they were in the imperial dining room and when they had said they were going to make dim sum.
"Do you know what the Queen Mother said?" Du Ruosheng asked.
"The slave doesn't know too much, but I heard the Queen Mother say that you are here to celebrate the festival, and you specially prepared snacks for everyone." As soon as she said this, Du Ruosheng instantly understood, it seemed that the matter of bringing Xu Ling here had been exposed, and he was clearly looking for trouble and embarrassing herself.
"In charge, this palace has something to explain to you." Du Ruosheng looked at the head of the imperial diet, and said in a solemn tone.
"That's what the mother commands."
"Take this child to a hidden place and hide it, and no one will find him." Du Ruosheng is not familiar with the imperial dining room, maybe there are some ways to do this.
"Don't worry, mother." The head took Xu Ling and nodded.
"Xu Ling, no matter what happens for a while, you can't show up, and when the banquet is over, Senior Sister will send someone to take you to see Master and Uncle, remember?" Du Ruosheng explained to Xu Ling, Xu Ling understood that Du Ruosheng would say this, something must have happened, "Senior sister, don't worry, I will be obedient and will not cause you trouble." ”
Du Ruosheng stroked Xu Ling's head, took two freshly made snacks from the table, and put them in Xu Ling's hands, and then Xu Ling left with the head of the imperial diet.
Not long after Xu Ling and the head of the imperial diet left, Du Ruosheng heard the noise outside, and it was the voice of the Queen Mother Lu Lan that started with it.
"Participate in the emperor and the queen mother." There was a greeting from outside.
"How is the queen preparing here?" The Queen Mother said in a loud voice, as if she was deliberately letting Du Ruosheng notice her arrival.
Du Ruosheng straightened his clothes and walked out.
When Yan Qinghan saw Du Ruosheng, his brows tightened, Du Ruosheng's eyes swept towards him, and gave him a gesture to reassure him, Yan Qinghan's expression eased slightly. 33
"The concubine has seen the queen mother, why did the queen mother bring the ministers to the imperial dining room when the queen mother is no longer in the front hall?" Du Ruosheng treated it indifferently, and didn't seem surprised by the sudden arrival with Lu Lan.
"It's not that the queen prepared Dongchuan's unique snacks for the ministers, everyone has been waiting for a long time, and they can't wait, so let's see how the queen is prepared?"
Lu Lan said and looked at the ministers who followed behind her, including Xiaoyi and Chen Yi, Du Ruosheng had noticed the two of them since just now, she didn't expect that they would follow this kind of excitement.
"The concubine has been preparing for a long time, but I forgot the time, although I haven't prepared properly, but I have already done a part, the queen mother and the ministers are not coincidental, the concubine has already ordered someone to send it to the Chengyuan Palace, and it should be delivered soon." Lu Lan didn't believe what Du Ruosheng said at all, it was just an excuse she made up randomly, how could she prepare it in such a short time.
Lu Lan didn't intend to listen to her, she walked straight to the imperial dining room, pushed the door and entered, in the imperial dining room, everyone's hands were busy, seeing Lu Lan, they stopped and said respectfully: "See the Queen Mother, see the emperor." Yan Qinghan also walked in with him, and Du Ruosheng also followed behind.
"Mother, are you so anxious? The concubines all said that the concubines were not ready, so why should the queen mother be in a hurry. Du Ruosheng saw Lu Lan's disappointed expression, and said without hesitation on the side, hearing Du Ruosheng's words, Lu Lan's face was even more ugly.
"Queen Mother, didn't the Queen Mother say that she had ordered someone to send some to Chengyuan Palace, why don't we go back to the palace first and wait for the Queen Mother." Xiaoyi's voice came from behind Lu Lan, Lu Lan turned around and looked at him, his face was cold, "General Xiao and the queen are singing and harmonizing." When Lu Lan said this, everyone couldn't help but fall into an embarrassing situation.
"Queen Mother, what Xiaoyi said is not inappropriate, we are here, and we can't do anything, it is better to let the queen prepare here with peace of mind." Seeing Yan Qinghan helping Xiaoyi speak, Du Ruosheng was a little surprised, but fortunately, he and he knew the reason in advance, otherwise I am afraid it would really be another indescribable misunderstanding.
Lu Lan walked slowly towards Xiaoyi, she looked at Xiaoyi and then at Chen Yi beside him, and said coldly: "Xiao Aiqing, the mourning family kindly reminds you, there are some things that the mourning family doesn't know, it's just that the mourning family doesn't want to pursue it now, if the mourning family loses patience, I'm afraid it won't be today's result." ”
Xiaoyi smiled slightly, and said softly: "Thank you for reminding me." The minister will remember. ”
However, their conversation, others naturally didn't understand, they just thought that Lu Lan was a little unhappy because Du Ruosheng was prepared, Lu Lan didn't succeed, she was unwilling, but she was helpless, and in the end she could only leave with anger, because she believed Fang Lanzhi's nonsense, and as a result, Du Ruosheng saw her joke.
After Lu Lan left, Yan Qinghan did not leave.
"What the hell is going on? Didn't you tell me to go to the Imperial Garden? Yan Qinghan's tone was worried, if it weren't for Du Ruosheng's timely response, I am afraid that she would not be able to explain it even if she had ten mouths.
"I just want to make some food for Xu Ling, who knew that someone was secretly following me and didn't notice it, fortunately, a waitress knew the news in advance, otherwise it would be really troublesome." Du Ruosheng also had a false alarm.
"It seems that Xu Ling is really with you, hurry up and order someone to send him back, don't have another accident." Yan Qinghan admonished.
"Don't worry, I've already asked Luo Yu and the head of the imperial diet to send him back."
After dealing with it properly, Yan Qinghan also left and returned to Chengyuan Palace.
