Chapter 16: Cutting off the beard (1)

Su Moxue looked at Bai Ningshuang and responded lightly: "I didn't prepare anything, forgive me." ”

When Murong You heard Su Moxue's words, his face suddenly turned cold. Bai Ningshuang looked at them innocently, secretly happy in his heart.

It's just that Bai Ningshuang was happy for only a second, and then heard Qi Ren say to Su Moxue: "Queen Mother, I remember, you obviously have prepared a gift to present to the emperor." ”

"I ......" Su Moxue looked at her again as she looked at everyone's eyes, and had to nod: "Indeed, I have a gift for the emperor." ”

Murong You said coldly: "Didn't the queen say that she didn't prepare anything?" ”

Su Moxue didn't know what to say for a while, but Qi Ren helped Su Moxue explain: "Your Majesty, the queen has been looking for something all this time, so she didn't prepare a show for the banquet." ”

When Bai Ningshuang heard Qi Ren's words, although she had a bad premonition in her heart, she still kept a smile on her face and asked, "What did my sister prepare for the emperor?" ”

Ruyi stepped forward at this time with a red wooden carved box and said to Murong You: "Your Majesty, this is the gift that Niangniang prepared for you." ”

As he spoke, Ruyi opened the box. Jian Xiaozhu saw that the box contained several things like moon cakes.

"It turned out to be a cake." Bai Ningshuang smiled, with a puzzled expression on her face, looked at a plate of Hu cakes on the table and asked, "Is there any difference between this Hu cake and the Hu cake in the imperial dining room?" ”

Without waiting for Su Moxue to answer, Qi Ren took the first step and said to Murong You: "Your Majesty, you will know if you taste it." ”

So Murong You took a piece of Hu cake from the box and put it in his mouth, but as soon as he took a bite, he looked at Su Moxue with a surprised expression on his face: "This tastes ......"

Su Moxue said: "Your Majesty, during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, you once told me that you miss the Hu cakes made by your mother very much. So I sent someone to your hometown to find the ingredients that might be used for those flavors, and hired a chef to help make this cake. ”

didn't expect Su Moxue to be so caring, Jian Xiaozhu couldn't help but be impressed by her. Because in the novel, Su Moxue at this time was still grounded because she was framed for giving Gu to Bai Ningshuang, so there is no such plot in the novel.

Moreover, Murong You told Su Moxue about Hu Cake, which was not mentioned in the novel.

In the setting of the novel, Murong You's mother Concubine Zheng was born in a relatively remote southern city, although she is not a big family, but because she looks like a fairy, she was deeply favored by the emperor after entering the palace. But in the palace, there will never be a shortage of powerful beauties. So with the entry of the next batch of show girls into the palace, Murong You's mother gradually fell out of favor.

It's just that after falling out of favor, the Zheng family doesn't fight or grab, and just wants to live peacefully in the palace with Murong You. But such a wish is obviously difficult to achieve in the deep palace. Murong You has been talented since he was a child, and in order to survive better in the palace, he hugged the prince's thigh, and therefore as the prince's companion, he met Bai Ningshuang, the daughter of the prince, and the two secretly fell in love.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, and in the battle for succession, the prince was falsely accused of rebellion. The first emperor ignored any father-son affection and directly put the prince in prison. Murong You was affected and exiled to a wild land, and he also met Su Moxue on the road to exile.

As for Bai Ningshuang's father, as a close confidant of the crown prince, the whole family was raided. Bai Ningshuang was sold to the Qinglou as a singer. Although she could have had a chance to escape, in order to help Murong You obtain information, Bai Ningshuang stayed in that place of right and wrong.

On the other side, Murong You, who was in adversity, learned that Su Moxue was the princess of the Ming Kingdom, which made him decide to use the power of Su Moxue's mother's family to complete his revenge. Although falling in love is just a scene, Murong You is acting, and he should have fallen into it a little. It is not difficult to understand why Murong You told Su Moxue about his mother.

However, at this time, after Murong You tasted the Hu cakes made by Su Moxue, he finally showed a moving look in his eyes when he looked at Su Moxue. And Jian Xiaozhu, who was standing behind Bai Ningshuang, also clearly saw that Bai Ningshuang's hand under the table was tightly clutching the hem of his skirt.

"I didn't expect to be able to eat this taste today, the queen has a heart."

Hearing Murong You's gentle expression say this to Su Moxue, the joints of Bai Ningshuang's hand holding the corner of her skirt turned white from the exertion. However, on the surface, Bai Ningshuang still maintained a smile and said to Su Moxue: "Sister really has a heart, but I am ashamed of myself." ”

But Murong You obviously didn't see that Bai Ningshuang was jealous, but followed her words and said, "Yes, thanks to the queen." I didn't think I'll ever be able to taste it again. ”

Bai Ningshuang was stunned, although she was annoyed, she still said to Murong You in a coquettish tone: "Whatever the emperor wants to eat, I can also do it." ”

But Qi Ren said to Bai Ningshuang: "Guifei Niangniang, this is not something you can do if you want to. The queen has been asking someone to look for it for a long time before she makes this taste. ”

Although Bai Ningshuang secretly scolded Qi Ren in her heart for being too talkative and not giving her face, she could only bite her silver teeth and swallow all her hatred into her stomach after all.

So, after the dinner, as soon as Bai Ningshuang returned to the Condensation Palace, he no longer threw all the tea cups on the table to the ground regardless of the image, and said angrily: "It's me who is too naΓ―ve!" I didn't expect the queen to have been preparing for so long! I used to think that this person was indisputable, but until today, I don't know that everything is just a disguise. ”

After saying that, Bai Ningshuang seemed to suddenly remember something, turned her head to look at Jian Xiaozhu, and her eyes showed a look of resentment: "It's all you!" ”

Jian Xiaozhu was so frightened that her head was stunned, thinking that Bai Ningshuang should not be settling accounts for the hemp Gu incident. After all, if he hadn't been born out to cure Bai Ningshuang, then according to the development of the plot, Su Moxue should have been grounded at this time, and the incident at the dinner party that made Bai Ningshuang feel unhappy would not have happened.

So Jian Xiaozhu hurriedly pretended to be stupid and knelt on the ground while being frightened: "Guifei Niangniang, did the slave do something to make you unhappy?" ”

"If it weren't for you......" However, before Bai Ningshuang's words were finished, Biyu hurriedly stepped forward at this time to report: "Niangniang, the emperor went to Sujin Palace tonight." ”

"What did you say?"

Bai Ningshuang looked at Jasper in disbelief, almost crushing her silver teeth in anger. And Biyu continued to explain: "Just now a guard came to report that the emperor went to Sujin Palace at night. ”

"How could it be ......" Bai Ningshuang took a few steps back, sat down on the chair, then supported his forehead, and said to Jian Xiaozhu: "You go to Sujin Palace and tell the emperor that I am not feeling well." ”

Jian Xiaozhu knew that she had escaped a catastrophe, so she promised again and again: "Yes, Niangniang." ”

However, after not walking a few steps, Jian Xiaozhu found that it was not good to walk like this. So she turned around and asked Bai Ningshuang with concern: "Guifei Niangniang, are you okay?" ”

Bai Ningshuang was angry: "Not good! Don't go yet! ”

"Yes!"

Jian Xiaozhu lifted the lamp and ran towards Sujin Palace. The palace was darkened at night, and before the dinner, he almost lost his life because he bumped into Zhu Yan and Concubine Xiao cheating. Along the way, Jian Xiaozhu complained in her heart, Bai Ningshuang's trick of pretending to be sick and cutting off his beard is too old-fashioned, and he has played it 800 times in the TV series.

Jian Xiaozhu recalled with relish the palace fighting dramas that made her stay up late to chase over the years, and did not notice that someone suddenly walked behind her.

Until a hand suddenly patted her on the shoulder......

"Ahh

Jian Xiaozhu exclaimed, but heard a familiar voice say, "It's me!" ”

Jian Xiaozhu turned around and saw Murong Yi who appeared behind her at some point.

And, in the light of the lantern, Murong Yi's face looks very much like a male ghost in a horror movie......
