Chapter 7: Unexpected Joy
Lu Qingjin had just finished washing, and when he heard the palace maid's reply, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment:
"The four concubines came together to greet me? This is really new, so hurry up and invite a few mothers in! ”
She raised her eyebrows, and her face showed a hint of interest, after entering the palace for so many days, is she finally going to open the palace bucket copy?
Although the daily farming is fulfilling, it is indeed a bit boring, so it is also good to spice up with some fun activities!
The palace maid passed the word out, and the four concubines came in turn, Lu Qingjin glanced at them, and saw that all of them were particularly brilliant and bright, obviously all of them were carefully dressed, and couldn't help but smile slightly:
"I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, why did you blow my sisters to this palace?"
Concubine Yun rolled her eyes unabashedly, but Concubine Xian didn't raise her eyelids, and said nonchalantly:
"It's not because the queen's sister has a good husband, and the emperor is only thinking about her sister, didn't we come to ask my sister for peace, maybe we can still see the emperor?"
As soon as she heard this, she added a gun and a stick, Concubine Xian was obviously worried about yesterday's events, and she didn't take Lu Qingjin, the queen, in her eyes.
If it was the former concubine Lu Qingjin, she would indeed endure it, but now Lu Qingjin has a different soul, so she refuses to accept this inexplicable idleness.
It's not me who asked you to pile up dung, you have the ability to get angry with His Majesty the Emperor, what's the matter with finding soft persimmons to vent?
She sneered: "Concubine Xian, what do you mean, is the fox of this palace bewitching the lord, and bewitching the emperor?" ”
Concubine Xian sneered: "Yes or no, the queen knows it, anyway, the emperor sticks with you every day, and the whole palace can see it!" ”
Lu Qingjin slapped the table: "Bold!" It's okay for you to slander the palace, but do you think the emperor is a dumb monarch like Xia Wei Shangxuan? Can you be at the mercy of a woman? ”
Concubine Xian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly argued: "I didn't mean that! ”
Concubine Li's eyes narrowed, she had never fought with the queen, but at present, Lu Qingjin was not the useless straw bag as rumored!
She rolled her eyes, and laughed softly: "Sister Xian Concubine has always been straightforward, and she doesn't mean to be disrespectful, don't care about it." ”
She said and gave Concubine Shu another look.
Concubine Shu understood, and hurriedly changed the topic with a smile: "By the way, today is the first time we have come to greet the queen mother, I heard that the mother likes to serve flowers and plants, I specially prepared a small gift, and I hope the queen will not dislike it." ”
She said and waved her hand gently, and two palace maids behind her slowly walked forward carrying a rosewood frame covered with a large red silk and put it in front of Lu Qingjin.
One of the palace maids lifted the red silk to reveal a potted plant, about two feet high, with red lantern-like fruits between the green branches and leaves, delicate and clear, round and lovely.
"Ahh Lu Qingjin couldn't help but exclaim, obviously surprised.
Concubine Yun couldn't help but sneer, and said disdainfully in a faint voice: "A potted plant is surprised to look like this, it is really a soil bun that has never seen anything in the world!" ”
Concubine Shu only felt that Lu Qingjin was timid, and her face couldn't help showing a little smugness, and said with a smile:
"The name of this thing is Wolf Peach, which was accidentally seen by my father's caravan when he went to the Western Regions, and it is said to be a rare flower that only the nobles of the Western Regions can have. My father ordered people to find such a plant with great difficulty, and I heard that the queen loves flowers and plants, and today I just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha. ”
Concubine Xian was born in a noble family, and naturally she also knew it, and it was precisely because of her understanding that she knew the value of this potted plant, and she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and said coolly:
"Sister Shufei is so generous, this wolf peach is a rare thing, even if it costs a thousand gold, you may not be able to buy such a plant, you actually said that you will give it away!"
"As long as the queen likes it, don't say it's a thousand gold, it's worth it." Concubine Shu said and turned her head to look at Lu Qingjin, and asked with a smile, "Does the queen like it?" ”
Lu Qingjin couldn't help but get up from the phoenix seat, walked quickly to the potted plant, looked at the green leaves and red fruits, his eyes lit up, as if he wanted to hold it in his arms, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile: "I like it, I like it so much!" ”
Where is this wolf peach, this is clearly her favorite in her last life, sweet and salty, vegetable and vegetable cutie - tomatoes!
She was so excited that she couldn't stop circling around the pot of tomatoes, and she couldn't care about anything.
Concubine Shu's palace maid looked a little worried, and quietly asked in Concubine Shu's ear:
"Niangniang, this wolf peach is said to be highly poisonous, let's give it to the queen mother like this, if the queen mother sees that the fruit is bright, she eats it for a while, what can I do if I eat it?"
Concubine Shu took a sip of tea, slowly picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her lips, covering her smile that couldn't be flattened, and said in a low voice:
"So what? This wolf peach is indeed a treasure that is hard to find, why is it wrong for me to give such treasures to the queen? As for the queen's lack of knowledge, she has to stuff everything into her mouth, can you blame me? ”
She made eye contact with the other concubines while drinking tea, and there were gloating smiles in each other's eyes.
That's right, today's scene was actually designed by four people together.
In the past few days, they have heard that the queen likes to work eating, so they specially sent this poison to Lu Qingjin, so that she could suffer a bad loss, if the poison of the wolf peach is strong enough, let her go directly to the west, then it will be celebrated by the whole world!
Lu Qingjin didn't know the vicious thoughts of these people, with this tomato, she now felt that these four concubines were simply the cutest little angels in the world!
In a happy mood, she decided to be nicer to these women, so she waved her hand and said generously:
"I see that these fruits are growing well, so I'll send them to the imperial dining room to cook them, and your sisters will stay and eat with me today!"
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stewed beef brisket with tomatoes, and cold tomatoes, you will have to salivate 3,000 feet just thinking about it!
The four concubines were shocked, they wanted Lu Qingjin to be poisoned, but they never wanted to stay and sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman!
Concubine Shu was the first to react, and hurriedly refused: "No, no, no, thank you for the kindness of the queen, but there is still something in my palace, so I have to go back first!" ”
The other three came back to their senses and hurriedly got up:
"Ah, yes, I haven't practiced my words today!"
"I've just half-finished painting a painting, and now the ink in the inkstone is almost dry, I have to go back and take a look!"
"I may have a stomachache later, so I won't stay with you for long, the queen!"
