Could it be that you are too careful?

Even if he couldn't dispel that ridiculous thought, Ci'an tried to defend Cixi in his heart, to see if there could be a more reasonable explanation for this matter?

The sour plum was entered by Guan Zhuofan, and when it came to "seasonal fruits", he also entered Zhong Cui Palace. However, no matter what kind of "seasonal fruits" were imported before, it must be in duplicate, one for Changchun Palace, one for Zhong Cui Palace, and no one for Xuanxuan, unlike this time, only Changchun Palace's share, not Zhong Cui Palace's share, which is really suspicious......

Ci'an was suddenly stunned: No! Do you know that "this time" will "not have the share of Zhong Cui Palace"? Just because he hasn't "entered" doesn't mean he hasn't "entered" - the small kitchen of Zhong Cui Palace, he has never been down!

called Xi'er over and instructed: "You go to the small kitchen to take a look, is there any 'fresh fruit'?" ”

After a pause, I couldn't help but add: "Especially...... Cranberry. ”

Xi'er went, but after a cup of tea, she turned around.

"Back to the master, there are sour plums, and there are more than those in Changchun Palace - half a basket!"

Yes?!

"I said to Qin Liu in the small kitchen," Xi'er said, "You should pour them out and spread them out in the dustpan, otherwise, even if it is freezing now, it will be rotten after a long time!" He said, this kind of sour, the master doesn't like to enter, pour it out and spread it evenly, that's not taking up space for nothing - the master listens, he is reasonable! ”

Qin Liu didn't care, Ci'an didn't care, she stayed for a moment and said, "This batch of sour plums is also ...... Prince Xuan entered? ”

"Yes," Xi'er said. "It's with the Changchun Palace, it's together! Qin Liu said that sour plum is actually a good thing, in addition to being appetizing and refreshing, it can also brighten the eyes and reduce liver fire or something, but the master doesn't like to enter. He didn't use them. Now, since the master asked, I would like to ask the master for instructions, should I try to go a little further? ”

Ci'an thought about it for a while, then smiled slightly bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, when I think of that pile of green fruits, my teeth fall a little down!" ”

There was a pause. He groaned and said: "Sour plum is good, it's good, it's not apples or pears, it's not really used as fruit to eat, how can it ...... So much at once? ”

Xi'er thought for a moment and said, "This...... The slave and the maid do not know. However, the little insight of the slave maid is not much! Prince Xuan gave the two queen mothers 'fresh fruits'. No matter which kind of fruit, which time. Not about baskets? Or how many big baskets, how many big baskets? It's too little, it's not good-looking! ”

This...... Quite right.

If you only go into a small basket, it is not normal.

Could it really be that I'm too careful?

However, something still seems to be wrong......

"Well, I just can't finish it. Some...... Wasted. ”

Xi'er thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, the master will give this batch of plums to each palace, which can be regarded as the master's grace?" ”

"It's good ......"

Ci'an just agreed. A thought came to me, my heart trembled, and I changed my words and said, "Uh...... Forget it, this, uh, 'Westside' isn't there, let's just use it for favors, this, it seems, uh, not very good. ”

This reason is not very sufficient, but Ci'an lacks urgency, and in a hurry, it is not easy to make up such a reason.

Her real thoughts were: still something is wrong!

No matter if you enter a big basket or a small basket, whether it is in duplicate or not, these plums are authentic sour in the end, and I haven't eaten a single one, but there is no ......

What did Fang Caixier say? By the way, "and there are more than those in Changchun Palace" - since it is "in duplicate, without any distinction", how can Changchun Palace be less than Zhongcui Palace? The less part has already been eaten!

It's only been a few days, and I've used so much?

The words of the cook in the small kitchen of Changchun Palace echoed in my ears again: "The master has not a very good appetite these days, and he does not eat much for lunch and dinner, and he often has to add a supper, and the dishes of the supper are either sour plum pork feet or sour plum pork ribs." ”

There's no doubt about her penchant for acids.

Could it be that in the past few years, her hobbies have changed from sweet to sour, and she knows nothing?

Is this possible?

Ci'an remembered Guilian's words again: "The master said, it's just that I have seen too many excerpts, and I have a little stomach stagnation, it's not a problem, there is no need to pass on the imperial doctor......"

The body feels uncomfortable, but she doesn't pass on the imperial doctor, this is not her style!

Unless......

No, no! Impossible, impossible!

For a moment, my heart was in turmoil.

Ci'an's lunch today has no appetite; After eating, I usually want to take a nap, but my mind turns over, I toss and turn, and I can't sleep. When I arrived, I had to get up, cheer up, and freshen up my makeup, because I had already made an appointment: this afternoon, Prince Rui Fujin entered the palace to say hello.

Prince Rui Renshou is almost twice as old as Ci'an's aunt, but Prince Rui Fujin's age is several years younger than Ci'an-she is a continuation.

Prince Rui Fujin bowed, Ci'an immediately ordered someone to sit, and when Prince Rui Fujin sat down happily, Ci'an sighed softly and said: "You are a pregnant person, you don't have to come to me every once in a while to make rules, I said this to Renshou, why didn't he listen?" ”

"Don't blame him, Queen Mother," Prince Rui Fujin said with a smile, "It's the concubine who is worried about the Queen Mother, and she must come over." Also, I just got pregnant, and my belly hasn't gotten bigger yet, so I have a lot of action, and the Queen Mother doesn't have to worry. ”

After a pause, he said: "Besides, the concubines are happy, aren't they all thanks to the blessing of the queen mother?" I run around the palace more, and I get more of the Queen Mother's blessings and joys, and the child in my belly, isn't it just earning? ”

Ci'an couldn't help but smile and said, "I love to hear what you say. Okay, I'm old, and you're really thanking me for it. ”

Prince Rui Fujin is said to be "TOEFL", which is meaningful.

Not long ago, Princess Rong'an and Princess Dunrou "surrendered", and Prince Rui Fujin was sent to "send a family woman" messenger, originally, she was young and a continuation of the string, and she was not suitable to be a "family wife", but with the close relationship between Renshou and Guan Zhuofan, this decent messenger who was in the limelight still fell on her head.

Prince Rui Fujin is a continuation of the string, and in the family of the clan, he is considered an "outlier", and he has been a "wife who sends relatives", which is of great help to improve her status. For Guan Zhuofan's identity of not minding the continuation of the "wife who sent his relatives", Renshou and his wife are very grateful, and in addition, the husband and wife are also grateful for the mercy and grace.

What's even better is that not long ago, Prince Rui Fujin was actually pregnant! Regardless of this child, whether it is a man or a woman, Renshou is an old man, he is extraordinarily proud, inexplicably happy, counting the days, it just happens to be the second day of Prince Rui Fujin doing the "Sending Relatives to the Wife", the couple thought that it was the joy of the "princess surrender", in front of the Queen Mother, I felt that I was gracious, and it was naturally "the blessing of the Queen Mother".

Naturally, the words of the two women revolved around the pregnancy of Prince Rui Fujin.

Ci'an asked, is there anything very uncomfortable?

"Empress Dowager Lao is worried," Prince Rui Fujin said with a smile, "there is nothing uncomfortable about it—it's just that this appetite is terrible!" I don't want to eat anything but acid! ”

Ci'an's face changed slightly.

"One day," continued Prince Rui Fujin, "I don't know where Renshou got a big basket of fresh sour plums, but I was so happy!" I said to Renshou, this winter, can you still find fresh sour plums? What a skill! He rubbed his beard triumphantly, and I asked him where he got it. He just laughed and didn't speak, but—"

Speaking of this, Prince Rui Fujin's face showed the characteristic sly smile of a young woman: "Hmph, if he doesn't say it, I can guess it." ”

Prince Rui Fujin didn't notice that the face of the Queen Mother had become more and more strange.

"So—" Ci'an's voice was astringent, "where did it come from?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, naturally Prince Xuan found it for him! These fresh plums are all things from the south, with Renshou by themselves, where do they have this ability? ”
