Empress Dowager De just came from Baihuayuan, she likes to listen to the opera the most, but Xiaoguo changed the stage of the opera performance into a dressing room, she felt that she was greatly provoked, and she was so angry that she didn't even care about lunch, and went straight to Cining Palace.

She was furious and "killed" into the main hall, but she pounced into the air, and learned that Xiaoguo was eating in the side hall, and her anger rose a few squares, and rushed towards the side hall.

Xiaoguo and Xiaobai, who got the news here, hurriedly greeted them.

Looking at the murderous group from afar, walking towards this side, Xiaoguo guessed that the comer was not good, and decided to strike first, and bent his knees and shouted: "Greetings to the Queen Mother!" ”

Xiaobai had one thing to learn on the side, and shouted: "The imperial grandmother is well!" ”

Empress Dowager De didn't expect the emperor and grandson to be here, she couldn't help but pause, she suppressed her anger, and said with a smile: "The emperor is also here, get up quickly, let the imperial grandmother see if she has grown taller again!" ”

Xiaobai ran to her side, raised his little hand to the top of his head, and said in a milky voice: "Grow taller, my grandson eats well every day, and he will grow as tall as the eleventh emperor uncle in the future!" The imperial grandmother also has to eat well and grow taller! ”

Empress Dowager De smiled from ear to ear and said, "Okay, the imperial grandmother and the emperor will grow taller together!" ”

Xiaobai saw the queen mother who was still bent on her knees and maintained a saluting posture, her eyes rolled, and she smiled at the Empress Dowager De: "Grandmother Huang, let the queen mother also grow taller with us, okay?" ”

Empress Dowager De had to turn her gaze to Xiaoguo: "Your Majesty, there is no imperial grandmother in your mother's eyes, imperial grandmother, you can't be the master of her!" ”

Xiaoguo, whose legs were already numb, scolded the evil feudal system countless times in her heart, and she listened to the Empress Dowager's insinuations, and understood where she had offended this ancestor.

Coax the old man to be happy, Xiaoguo is the best.

I saw that her posture did not change, and she said extremely respectfully: "Empress Taihuang Mingjian!" After the concubine fell seriously ill, she forgot all about the past, but when she thought of you, a most virtuous appearance would appear in her mind, and her heart was full of admiration! You are the idol in my heart, and the concubines admire you so much, how can I not take you seriously?! ”

The Empress Dowager De listened to this obvious flattering words, her heart was like drinking sweet and sweet, and she ran away half of her anger unconsciously, she suddenly felt that this daughter-in-law didn't seem to be so annoying, she coughed lightly: "The Empress Dowager gets up!" ”

Xiaoguo knew that the sycophant was right, so she got up beautifully, and when she saw the appearance of the person in front of her, she couldn't help but exclaim: "You are the Queen Mother?" ”

Empress Dowager De's heart had just calmed down a little, and she was lifted up again by this call, and she said with a calm face: "What? Did the appearance of Hongu scare you? ”

Xiaoguo circled around the Empress Dowager De, her face full of surprise: "You are clearly a sister in her twenties, how can you be a respected Empress Dowager?" ”

Xiaoguo is not deliberately currying favor this time, this Empress Dowager is only thirty-five or sixteen years old, although her face is slightly cold and tired, but because she is usually well-maintained, she does not have the image of an old woman at all, but looks like a young woman.

There is no woman who does not like others to praise her youth, especially a woman of a certain age.

Empress Dowager De is no exception, her anger when she came has completely disappeared.

Xiaoguo's naked adoring gaze made her feel satisfied at the same time, but also had a heart of protection and pity, she began to think about Xiaoguo's face as the queen mother, thinking that the content of the conversation for a while might damage the image of the queen mother, she said to the palace behind her: "You all stand down, you don't have to come over without orders." ”

Xiao Bai was worried about the food he would have time to eat in the future, and as soon as the palace people retreated, he saw that the atmosphere between the imperial grandmother and the queen mother had also eased, so he took them one by one hand and walked towards the palace, muttering in his mouth: "Home and everything is prosperous, and the people take food as the sky..."

As soon as she stepped into the threshold, a peculiar aroma of food rushed into the mouth and nose of the Empress Dowager De, and her stomach "grunt, grunt" sounded loudly a few times, she cursed twice in her heart, and two suspicious blushes floated on her cheeks.

Xiaoguo said with a smile: "If the Queen Mother doesn't dislike it, let's eat together!" ”

Empress Dowager De excused herself twice, and sat down half-pushed.

Xiaoguo served her a bowl of rice, and the three of them sat around the table.

Xiao Bai's eyes lit up when he looked at the alternative version of the sauerkraut fish in the soup Gu, and said, "I'm going to start!" ”

Picking up a piece of fish steadily, his eyes purred, the direction of the chopsticks turned halfway, and the fish was placed on the plate in front of the Empress Dowager: "Grandmother Huang eats first!" ”

The Empress Dowager De's heart was warm, and she kept praising him for her filial piety.

Sandwiched another piece of fish meat and put it on Xiaoguo's plate, Xiaobai went all out to devote himself to the food.

Empress Dowager De picked up the fish meat and put it in her mouth, only to feel that the meat was smooth and tender and melted in the mouth, the perfect combination of sour and sour hemp stimulated the taste buds, and the aftertaste was still there, and the aftertaste was endless, making people can't help but want to eat it non-stop.

Xiaoguo used chopsticks to pick up a few pieces of fish meat and put them on the plate of the Empress Dowager De: "You try this, stir-fry the mandarin fish fillet!" And this, stir-fry the black fish! ”

Empress Dowager De tasted it one after another, the fish meat was fatty or fragrant with sauce or sweet, the taste was very different, but each had its own merits, and even the celery fried tofu seemed to be more fragrant and delicious than the previous one.

What royal rules, what food is silent, in front of the food has become a void!

Xiaobai had already eaten several pieces in a row in a blink of an eye, muttering in his mouth: "It's so sour, it's so numb, it's delicious!" ”

Xiaoguo kept reminding: "Eat slowly, be careful of stinging!" ”

The Empress Dowager took advantage of the gap between the dishes, her mouth was temporarily free, and she praised sincerely: "Where did the Empress Dowager find the cook?" The craftsmanship is really good! ”

Xiaobai swallowed the food in his mouth and hurriedly replied: "Grandmother Huang, these are all made by the queen mother herself!" ”

The Empress Dowager De was drinking soup, and she almost choked when she heard the words, she raised her eyes from the top of the bowl in surprise: "Did the Empress Dowager do it?" ”

Xiaoguo smiled disapprerovingly

She is not particularly satisfied with the taste of these dishes, without chili peppers, sauerkraut is only made of ready-made cabbage rice vinegar, the taste is inevitably much worse, fortunately, the rice vinegar brewed in the imperial dining room is powerful enough, adding a lot of points to the overall dish.

Xiaoguo secretly made up her mind to make some sauerkraut for later use, and at the same time added vegetables to the Empress Dowager De and Xiaobai's bowl from time to time.

Empress Dowager De's mouth was not idle, her brain was not idle, she had the idea of getting along with this daughter-in-law for the first time.

The food on the table was swept away, and the three of them leaned on the Taishi chair to drink tea contentedly with round stomachs.

Xiaobai touched his belly and said comfortably: "I'm so full of food!" ”

Empress Dowager De and Xiaoguo nodded together.

Xiaobai said: "It's great that the imperial grandmother can dine with us, the food is more fragrant when there are more people!" ”

Empress Dowager De and Xiaoguo nodded together.

Xiao Bai continued: "Without the eleventh emperor uncle, it would be nice if he could also come over and eat together!" ”

Empress Dowager De nodded, and Xiaoguo shook her head.

Xiaobai said again: "Let's call Uncle Shang next time!" ”

Without waiting for the Empress Dowager to nod, Xiaoguo hurriedly said: "These dishes are only suitable for women and children, not for men!" ”

Empress Dowager De looked at Xiaoguo in surprise.

Xiaoguo smiled awkwardly, his face was not red, and his heart was not beating and he lied: "It is harmful to yang energy." ”

Xiaobai looked at Xiaoguo suspiciously: "Queen Mother, if a man can't eat it, it's harmful to yang energy, so why can Angelica be eaten?" ”

Xiaoguo said 10,000 words of "I'm sorry" to Angelica in his heart, and said vaguely: "Angelica doesn't need yang energy. ”

Empress Dowager De resolutely stood on Xiaoguo's side this time, and once it came to the issue of the royal family regarding the heirs, she immediately became shrewd: "Your Majesty, what your queen mother said is right, the eleventh imperial uncle is not suitable for eating these dishes. ”

Xiao Bai saw that the emperor's grandmother also said this, although he still had doubts in his heart, he could only choose to give up, he had some sympathy for the eleventh emperor uncle who was a man.

Seeing that he was no longer entangled in this issue, Xiaoguo hurriedly changed the topic: "Empress Dowager, what are you looking for me this time?" ”

The Empress Dowager De was too full, and the sleepiness had already sprung up, she fought hard and said, "Why did the Empress Dowager tear down the stage where I watched the play?" ”

Xiaoguo smiled: "So that's the case, you can misunderstand me." The stage just got a better location! You see that there is no wooden stake in front of the East Pavilion, and the stage is rebuilt there, where there is a large space for activities, martial arts can also be ordered, and the fight is open! You can watch the play in the attic or go to the rattan chair set up in the courtyard according to your mood, and you can lie on the second floor to watch it when you are tired! Compared to before, you can only squeeze in the corner of the attic, isn't it a hundred times worse?! ”

Empress Dowager De nodded: "You have a heart." ”

The two of them were talking together, and there was a snoring sound next to them, and Xiaoguo saw speechlessly that Xiaobai had fallen asleep in the Taishi chair.
