Chapter 585: One Thousand and One Nights
No problem, I promise it's sweet. Lin Xianyu opened his mouth to coax the Queen Mother, of course, it can't be all coaxed.
ββAlthough the Queen Mother's illness is not suitable for eating sugar, it is not particularly difficult to make sweet without sugar, such as red jujube mille-feuille cake and red jujube hair cake and so on.
ββRed dates are especially good for the Queen Mother's current condition, just replace the rock sugar or white sugar in the pastry with honey, the red dates themselves are sweet, I believe the Queen Mother will like it.
ββ"By the way, Queen Mother, I still have a gift for you, and I forgot about it before."
ββLin Xianyu was also so busy that he almost forgot about Qin Daru's painting, and only now remembered it.
ββ"Oh? What are the gifts? The Queen Mother smiled and asked: "There is no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry. β
ββ"It's a painting by Qin Daru." Lin Xianyu hurriedly ordered someone to present it, and after the Queen Mother saw it, she smiled happily.
ββ"Good boy, it's rare that Qin Shouren's old stubbornness is willing to paint for others." The Queen Mother carefully examined the painting before letting people put it away.
ββ"Suddenly I have an appetite." The Queen Mother smiled and used all the porridge and medicine, and after using it, she made a fuss about listening to the story.
ββLin Xianyu thought about it, and simply talked about "One Thousand and One Nights", which happened to be overseas.
ββAnd overseas tyrants and overseas customs are not just made up by themselves, and they can satisfy the queen mother's curiosity.
ββ"Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a kingdom of Sasan, and the king's name was Sanua. King Sanua would marry a woman every day and spend the night in the palace, but every next day when the rooster was singing, he would brutally kill her. β
ββ"Year after year, it lasted for three years, and more than a thousand women were killed."
ββLin Xianyu slowly began to talk about "One Thousand and One Nights".
ββ"Damn this tyrannical king!" The Queen Mother spoke.
ββ"Grandmother Huang, this is just a story, let's keep listening." Zhao Yuyu hurriedly diverted her grandmother's attention.
ββ"Yes, it's just a story, let me tell you the rest of the story." Lin Xianyu also smiled and said.
ββ"Good, good, good." The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Xianyu, you continue, I won't interrupt you." β
ββ"The people were terrified by this threat, and fled with their daughters, but the king still cared about coercing the prime minister, and every day he sought out women for his amusement and torture."
ββ"The women of the whole country, some of whom died at the king's torture, and some of whom fled, were so empty that the prime minister searched the whole city, but could not find a single woman. He returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with fear and sorrow. β
ββLin Xianyu spoke slowly, and both of them were immediately attracted by this story.
ββWith the ups and downs that Lin Xianyu talked about, the thoughts of the Queen Mother and Zhao Yuyu were all affected by the daughter of the smart prime minister, for fear that this smart and clever daughter would also be killed by the cruel king.
ββIt wasn't until Lin Xianyu said, "The king said: "Swear in the name of Allah, the God Almighty, this story is really fascinating." I'm not going to kill her for now, I'll wait until she's done telling her story. β
ββThe two of them put their hearts at ease, and when Lin Xianyu finished telling the first story, the Queen Mother was still a little unsatisfied.
ββBecause these stories are about overseas countries, many customs are different from those of the Great Chu Dynasty, which naturally opened the eyes of the Queen Mother and Zhao Yuyu.
ββ"The Queen Mother, Dongfang Bai, Lin Yunfeng and Lin Hongtao ask to see you."
ββLin Xianyu was pondering whether to tell another story or let the Queen Mother rest, when Dongfang Bai, his father and brother actually came.
