Chapter 226: Yunyan is targeted
Sun Qi is also a smart person, so she had already guessed from the beginning that her brother wanted to save Sun Chao, and since this was the case, she was also willing to talk to Sun Yu.
After asking the maid to remove the wine and food on the table, Sun Qi followed Sun Yu outside.
"You want to kill the seventh brother?"
"Since you have already seen it, why do you need to ask me, but you, third brother, you want to keep the seventh brother, so what do you exchange with me?" Sun Qi revealed her true colors, she has never been a good person, she is a princess, the daughter of the queen, but in this palace she is not as valued as those princes, all because she is a girl, once, when she needed the care of her father and mother, the emperor let her go to the Huguo Temple, in the Huguo Temple for so many years, the emperor and the empress almost never cared for her, which made Sun Qi feel disheartened.
She longs for power, she wants to stand at the top of power, why can those men be born with the attention of their parents, why can't they get rid of the fate of being at the mercy of others just because she is a girl? She is unwilling, she is really unwilling!
The more she thought about it, the more Sun Quan wanted to get power, as long as she could get power, she could do anything.
Watching Sun Qi negotiate conditions with himself, Sun Yu only felt a little sad, how did the well-behaved sister in his impression become like this? How could that gentle little girl be blinded by power now? It's just that he doesn't have so much time to be sad: "Isn't what you want is power?" It's just that if you want to get to that position, it depends on whether you have that strength! ”
In the end, Sun Yu still exchanged Sun Chao's life with Sun Qi with the promise of fair competition for the throne, but when they negotiated and returned to the flower hall, Sun Chao suddenly knelt in front of Sun Yu, only begging Sun Yu to save his mother.
Sun Yu and Sun Qi glanced at each other, and seeing Sun Qi's gloating look, he was really irritable, he raised his hand and pulled Sun Chao up from the ground: "Your mother is guilty of a capital crime, even if I want to help, I can't help at all." ”
Sun Chao actually knew from the beginning that no one could help him in this matter, but he didn't hear Sun Yu say it himself, Sun Chao still didn't give up, and with the strength of wine, he sat on the ground and cried, as if he was sad about his powerlessness.
After leaving the Seven Princes' Mansion, Sun Yu and Sun Qi each returned to their own mansions, after all, now Sun Yu has to think carefully about how to tell the emperor that he is not dead and has come back alive.
On the other hand, in the Qiang Kingdom, the queen began to show favor to Yunyan, and even had some flattery, because of the queen's preference, Yunyan became famous in the Qiang country, but such a preference, coupled with the rumors that the queen hoped that Yunyan would become the prince's side concubine, made Yunyan suddenly become an enemy in the hearts of those nobles in the capital.
Even if Yunyan was invited to a palace banquet, he was always excluded and ridiculed by those noble ladies and targeted everywhere.
It's just that Yunyan didn't take it to heart, and every time she was verbally mocked, she looked up at the queen, only to see that the queen was panicked.
This palace banquet was set up to show the talents of the nobles in the capital under the guise of the queen's birthday.
But Yunyan only knows a little bit about qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, so watching those nobles go on stage to fight their own qin, chess, calligraphy and painting skills, she obediently sat in the audience and applauded, she didn't go to participate in anything, just watched them show off.
It's just that the queen is willing to let go of Yunyan so easily, seeing that Yunyan is very comfortable offstage, the queen smiled and said: "Princess Yunyan, why don't you go on stage to perform your talents?" ”
Yunyan got up and saluted: "Back to Niangniang's words, Yunyan is dull, none of this qin, chess, calligraphy and painting can be taken out, so don't be ugly." ”
"But the palace knows that Princess Yunyan's craftsmanship is not ordinary, and the snacks and snacks she makes are unique in this Qiang country," where is the queen willing to let Yunyan go like this: "Why don't the princess go and make two snacks for the palace, you can also give the ladies sitting here an insight." ”
Yunyan raised her eyes to see the queen with a kind look, but she understood in her heart that the queen was more amiable on the surface, the more she hated her in her heart, but now that she was at the palace banquet, Yunyan was really hard to refuse, so she saluted and ordered her to go out to prepare.
She had only left on her front foot, and the palace maid beside the queen followed her after the queen made a look.
The few snacks made by Yunyan are all snacks of the Qiang country, but she doesn't know that in the Qiang country, this kind of snack has been lost.
She knew in her heart that the queen would definitely not let her make any snacks, and she would definitely send someone to do it, so she prepared two points of materials and just waited for the people around the queen to do it.
Yunyan first made two identical snacks, and then put a semi-finished product in a hidden corner, and then went out of the kitchen under the pretext that she needed to get something, and then she hid in a corner, and just watched the palace maid next to the queen enter the kitchen, and after a while, the palace maid came out, looked around very vigilantly, and left with confidence when she found that there was no one.
After seeing the maid leave, Yunyan appeared from the shadows, she walked to the table where the prepared snacks were placed, tasted it, and sure enough, there was something in the snacks, and now the taste of this snack is really very strange, it is simply difficult to eat.
Yunyan quickly changed the originally prepared snacks, and then processed and embellished some things on it, and then put it in the tray to be presented to the emperor and empress, and at this moment, the palace maid beside the queen turned back: "Her Royal Highness Princess Yunyan, the mother sent a slave maid to ask, is this pastry ready?" ”
Yunyan nodded: "You came really fast, I'm ready, just where you are." She pointed to the position of the tray, and even the position of the plate on it was exactly the same as that of the square, so even the palace maid looked closely and did not see any difference.
"I just went to get some decorations, I just came back to decorate them, and you came before I had time to taste the taste, too, I can't let the saint and Niangniang wait for a long time, you can take it first."
The palace maid was relieved when she heard Yun Yan say this, and followed Yun Yan forward with this tray of snacks.
When Feng Jinsong and the queen saw this tray of snacks, both of them were stunned.
Feng Jinsong felt that the food in this tray was full of color, flavor and flavor, and it was simply the best in the world, and how could the queen glance at the maidservant girl, and when she saw the maid nodding at her, she understood that the matter had been done, so now the snacks on this tray are not something that Yunyan invites merit at all, but something that makes Yunyan ugly.
Thinking that Yunyan would make a fool of herself in front of the public, the queen's heart was very happy, and she couldn't wait to put the snacks in a tray in front of Feng Jinsong: "You taste it, this Yunyan Princess's craftsmanship is known, see if this time, the concubine has no recommendation." ”
Feng Jinsong has always been very confident in Yunyan's craftsmanship, after all, Yunyan has also made a lot of amazing snacks that make Feng Jinsong arrive.
He didn't say anything, he picked up the chopsticks directly, and then put a pair of chopsticks in his mouth, the fresh and soft taste with this just right seasoning suddenly grabbed the taste buds of Feng Jinsong: "Good!" He exclaimed: "Princess Yunyan's craftsmanship is really extraordinary, after watching so many talent shows, only Princess Yunyan's craftsmanship is the most satisfying to me, Queen, you really didn't recommend it wrong!" ”
The queen's face changed, how could it be, she looked at the palace maid who went to do something, the palace maid frowned, and her eyes signaled to the queen, it is indeed something that has been done, but how has it become like this now?
The medicine powder given by the queen was indeed sprinkled on the food, and the time she went back after she left the kitchen was not enough to make another snack, how could this be, this medicine powder has no antidote at all, as long as it is put on, this dish will be directly destroyed.
Feng Jinsong kept praising Yunyan beside the queen, which made the queen not know how to respond, and it took a long time for her to calm down her shocked mood, and turned her head to Feng Jinsong and said: "Shengshang Mingjian, Princess Yunyan's craftsmanship is really the best, so this talent competition, Princess Yunyan won the first place, right?" ”
Feng Jin Songdian nodded, and the next thing was naturally for the queen to arrange, Yunyan came out on top, this reward is naturally very rich, it contains a lot of silk and satin, the most valuable is a set of ruby head, not only precious, but most importantly, this is the dowry brought by the queen when she married the emperor, this ruby is also the best in the country, I can't find a pigeon blood comparable to it.
Yunyan calmly put everything under his hands, thanked him generously and decently, and then sat back in his place, and then knew that the palace banquet was over, and Yunyan didn't show any more limelight.
On the contrary, Mu Cong saw all Yunyan's performance in his eyes.
On the second day, Mu Cong personally went to the courtyard where Yunyan lived, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yunyan coming to greet him.
"I don't know what the Lord Hou is here for?" Yunyan now knows very well that if they want to continue their plans in the Qiang Kingdom, they must pull Mu Cong into their camp when necessary, but it is still unclear what Mu Cong wants to do, so Yunyan's attitude towards Mu Cong can be said to be respectful but not close.
Seeing Yunyan's attitude, Mu Cong was not angry, he knew that he had used Yunyan as a gun to test Feng Jinsong to test the queen Yun Yan knew about it, so he was not surprised by Yunyan's attitude now.
However, he didn't come today to see how Yunyan treated him, he came to Yunyan for something: "Do you know that your father has already set a marriage for you back then?" ”
