Text Chapter 8: Brush up on good feelings in front of the old lady
As she instructed, Hanyun stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, someone inside pushed the door out, it was an elderly grandmother, and when she saw that she was coming, there was some surprise in her eyes: "Aren't you the maid who waits in the fourth lady's room?" Why did you suddenly come here today? ”
"That's right, the slave maid came to bring lunch to the old lady." Hanyun didn't dare to look at her, for fear that her acting skills would be clumsy and she would be seen as flawed.
Mama Fang hesitantly glanced at the food box in her hand, stepped forward to open the lid, and was attracted by the aroma that came to her nose.
I looked down and looked carefully at the few small dishes placed inside, all of which the old lady loved to eat, but the practice was completely different from the usual ones, and she saw it for the first time, and felt that it was fresh, so she closed the food box again.
"Thanks to the fourth lady's intention to prepare these, the old lady will definitely be happy." Mama Fang led her inside.
Han Yun glanced back and found that Miss Six was no longer there, so he lowered his head and quickly followed.
This loft is built on the lake, and each floor is covered so that you can enjoy the view while dining on the pavilion.
As soon as she walked to the third floor, she heard the laughter of the old lady from a distance, and wondered in her heart, the old lady who is usually in the mansion is always serious, how can she be in such a good mood today.
Mama Fang urged her to go faster, Han Yun nodded hurriedly, and only when she walked to the bead curtain did she see clearly that there were other distinguished guests here today.
At the moment, I couldn't help but worry about whether it would disrupt Miss Six's plan.
"Old lady, the fourth lady brought you a meal, the slave maid took a look, it's very special, why don't the old lady and the two sons eat here first?" Mama Fang said.
"Oh? When did Yuyun learn to cook, didn't she hate the smell of oil smoke the most? "Although the old lady is old, she is like a mirror to everyone and everything in the house.
As soon as he asked, Han Yun immediately replied in a prepared manner: "Old lady, let's try Miss's craftsmanship first." ”
"Okay, then pass it on."
Mama Fang gave her a look and asked her to step forward and set up the dishes.
Hanyun's nervous hands trembled, barely properly placed.
She stepped aside and watched the old lady take a sip, her expression not as happy as expected, and her whole heart rose to her throat.
"What does Gongzi Qi think of these dishes?" When I was old, I couldn't eat much, so I just tasted a few bites of each and put down my chopsticks.
"Fabulous." The man in white sitting at the same table, his two thin lips hooked up a plausible smile, and a pair of dark and cold eyes swept over the servant girl who had been very careful and nervous since she came in.
As if casually asked: "I remember that the Nine Emperors are also slightly involved in cooking, and they are still worried about the dishes to be prepared for the emperor's birthday banquet recently, why don't you invite this fourth lady here to discuss together, I don't know what the old lady thinks?" ”
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot about this business, if the fourth miss is willing to exchange experiences and can help the king hold the birthday banquet, my father will definitely be very happy, and he will definitely reward the fourth miss." The man sitting beside him was also handsome, with an air of evil all over his body.
In the past few years, Yuhong has monopolized power in the imperial court, and many people have written excerpts and said a lot of bad things about the Prime Minister's Mansion, so that the emperor began to be jealous of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which made her very worried about the future of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Although she also advised her son not to be reckless for the sake of power, she was too old to control it at all.
Now is a good opportunity, the Nine Emperors are deeply loved in front of the emperor, let Yu Wan and the Nine Emperors cooperate, and the birthday banquet will definitely please the emperor.
At that time, as long as the Nine Emperor Princes are saying a few more good words, they may be able to relieve the emperor's concerns.
"Go, bring the fourth lady here."
"Slave and maid, please go and please." Hanyun was afraid that they would ask one more question, so he hurried downstairs.
Walking out of the gate, he saw Yu Zixuan walking towards him from the pavilion in the distance, and hurriedly greeted him: "Miss, ...... today Don't go today, let's go home, shall we? ”
"Something's wrong?" Yu Zixuan knew that she was timid, but her face was pale like this, and she was obviously frightened.
"Today, the old lady invited a distinguished guest here, one is the Nine Emperor Princes, and the other old lady calls him Qi Gongzi, I'm afraid he is from the General's Mansion, but ......" Hanyun frowned: "There is only one son in the General's Mansion, Qi Yuan is rumored to be ugly, it is really difficult to see, but that son is very handsome." ”
"Don't guess, just go and see." Yu Zixuan walked up to the attic.
Han Yun couldn't stop it if he wanted to, so he had to follow her closely.
Hearing the footsteps, the old lady also raised her head and looked out of the beaded curtain.
But when she saw that the person who came was not the fourth lady Yuyun, but Yu Zixuan, whom she had only seen once at the birthday banquet, her old face sank suddenly.
There are outsiders present today, she has always valued the reputation and face of the Prime Minister's Mansion the most, no matter how much she dislikes this Sixth Lady, she can't show it now, otherwise she will just show others the jokes of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"My granddaughter has seen her grandmother, so please say hello to her grandmother." Yu Zixuan behaved decently and spoke moderately, not at all like she had just been picked up from the countryside and did not understand the rules.
The old lady's face softened slightly, and she said 'um' and asked Mama Fang to bring her a chair to watch.
Yu Zixuan owed a debt and did not step forward: "My granddaughter has not been able to serve by her grandmother's side since she was a child, and she feels indebted in her heart, so she just wants to be by her grandmother's side and serve her grandmother today." ”
Seeing that she was so good at talking, the old lady's worries about her being a disaster star also decreased.
In the end, she is also the daughter of the Yu family, if it weren't for the fact that when she was born, she rushed to the long room and got seriously ill, she would have liked this outstanding-looking Sixth Lady.
"Grandmother, granddaughter's cooking, is it still appetizing?"
"Oh? Are you making these dishes? The old lady looked at Han Yun: "Aren't you the maid next to Yuyun, when did you serve Miss Six?" ”
"The slave maid just followed Miss Six today, and she was bent on delivering the food to the old lady while it was hot, so she forgot to explain it to the old lady." Hanyun fell to his knees with a thud.
The old lady doesn't like to be fooled, and today's play is obviously deliberately arranged.
This sixth lady has a lot of thoughts, in order to see that she can still come up with such a method, if such a person stays in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I am afraid that the backyard will not be peaceful.
"This table of dishes is just for the grandmother to eat comfortably, not to ask for credit, if the grandmother doesn't like it, the granddaughter will never make it again."
"This is not good, such a good craft, if it is abandoned, it will be a pity." The Nine Emperor Princes left Xuan at night and called Yu Zixuan, who was about to leave, and looked her up and down with a sharp and deep gaze.
He has seen a lot of beauties in Kyoto, but it is rare to see someone like her who does not use powder and whose color is like the morning glow reflecting the snow.
No wonder Qi Yuan would come here again after meeting her in the Xiangfu Bamboo Forest that night.
said that he had no interest in this unfavored sixth lady, but Ye Lixuan felt that these two people were talented and beautiful, but they were a good match, but it was a pity that this woman was from the Prime Minister's house, otherwise he would have agreed with this family business.
"Old lady, just now you promised me to discuss cooking skills with the young lady who made this table, and now that this young lady is leaving, the king is very disappointed." He shook his head with a look of regret.
"The old man is afraid that Miss Six has just been accepted into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she doesn't understand many rules, but she collides with the Nine Emperor Princes."
Yu Zixuan could see at a glance that the Nine Emperors' original intention was not to discuss cooking, and from the beginning, the sharp eyes seemed to see her through.
I'm just a concubine who is not favored by the prime minister, and I have no use value.
Unless, the Nine Emperor Princes are for another person.
Qi Gongzi from the General's Mansion.
Her cold eyes fell on the man in white, and her pupils couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
It's him?!
The man who had saved himself in the burning bamboo forest that night.
If he was Qi Yuan, why did he visit the General's Mansion at night? You can come openly as the future husband of the eldest lady.
As Hanyun said, the appearance is seriously inconsistent with the rumors.
If Yufu knew that the eldest son of the General's Mansion looked so fairy, she would definitely not come back to marry her.
When she was stunned, she heard the old lady call her name again, so she came back to her senses and asked, "What does grandmother command?" ”
"It's rare to have such an opportunity, so you can go to the courtyard with the Nine Emperor Princes to discuss and discuss cooking."
"Yes." Yu Zixuan bowed and retreated, she expected that the old lady would not be able to brush off the meaning of the Nine Emperor Princes, after all, the royal people could not be offended.
As soon as they went downstairs, the man in white also got up to take his leave.
Mama Fang looked at the backs of the three of them leaving, and couldn't help worrying: "Could these six young ladies know that the Nine Emperor Princes are coming today, so they came here specially?" She was originally sent out by Miss Shu, and when she came back, she just married the eldest lady, but she was afraid that she was active, and she didn't want to follow the will of the house and find another way out for herself. ”
"No, the Nine Emperors came on an impromptu basis, and I don't even know about it, so how can she calculate it." The old lady touched the bead chain in her hand, and her eyes were profound.
It can only be said that this is luck, but it made Yu Zixuan bump into the Nine Emperor Princes, and looking at the reaction of the Nine Emperor Princes just now, he was a little interested in Yu Zixuan.
But when she thought of the previous birthday banquet, the eldest prince was also attracted by Yu Zixuan's appearance, which made Yufu jealous and made the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion restless, which was really sinful.
Whether this Yu Zixuan is the disaster or luck of the Prime Minister's Mansion is now giving her a headache.
"Don't move yet, let's see if this girl's proposal to the Nine Emperors can be rewarded at the emperor's birthday banquet, if she has the ability to make the emperor happy and satisfied, it is naturally the lucky star of my Prime Minister's Mansion, if not, it will be sent to the General's Mansion as soon as possible." The old lady sighed, got up and walked back into the house.
Mama Fang didn't understand, in the past, the old lady decided to be decisive, but this time she gave Miss Six a chance, which is really incomprehensible.
