Chapter 20: The White Lotus's Fear

Jian Xiaozhu subconsciously touched the back of his head and muttered, "It's very soft, it looks like it's made of iron." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up, but found that Zhu Yan's cold eyes were close at hand. Jian Xiaozhu was startled, took a step back to widen the distance between him and Zhu Yan, and said in a trembling voice: "I...... I didn't know you were behind ......."

But Zhu Yan took a step forward, allowing Jian Xiaozhu to continue to retreat and said, "I didn't mean to bump into you, you have a lot of ......."

But further on, there is the furnace. Jian Xiaozhu stopped, but saw Zhu Yan leaning forward with his stunning face. This made Jian Xiaozhu lower his head, not daring to look at him. But Zhu Yan's breath was gradually approaching, and Jian Xiaozhu smelled it, and there was a smell of flowers coming from his body.

"What's inside the stove, it's fragrant."

While Zhu Yan was speaking, Jian Xiaozhu could feel the breath coming out of his mouth falling to his ears. This made her suddenly feel dizzy, and then said, "I, I baked egg yolk crisp for you and the concubine." ”

After that, Jian Xiaozhu hurriedly bypassed Zhu Yan, went to get cotton gloves, and took out the golden egg yolk crisp from the stove. The overflowing aroma filled this small kitchen, Zhu Yan walked to the table, and directly reached out to pick up an egg yolk cake, but was stopped by Jian Xiaozhu.

"That...... It's still hot. ”

While Jian Xiaozhu spoke, she found that Zhu Yan was looking at her wrist that was grabbed by her. This made Jian Xiaozhu's old face red, and he wanted to quickly take his hand away. Just the next second when she took it away, Zhu Yan grabbed her wrist with her backhand.

Jian Xiaozhu was nervous: "I didn't see it that day, I didn't see anything." ”

Zhu Yan's eyes exuded a chill: "Which day?" ”

Jian Xiaozhu hurriedly replied: "There is no day when I see you for the first time at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. ”

Zhu Yan nodded with satisfaction, but the chill in his eyes remained unabated. And Jian Xiaozhu could feel that Zhu Yan's strength in grabbing her wrist had increased a few points.

"I have traveled all year round, and I have seen many incurable diseases, but I have never heard of the kind of insect disease that my sister suffers from."

Jian Xiaozhu knew that Zhu Yan was doubting herself, and only felt a few drops of cold sweat running down her back. But she still stubbornly explained to Zhu Yan: "Anyway, I suffered from insect disease when I was a child, and this is how my little mother cured me." Besides, didn't the concubine also heal me? This shows that the prescription is effective. And the world is so big, there are so many things you don't know to go......"

Speaking of the back, Jian Xiaozhu found that Zhu Yan's eyes were getting colder and colder, which made her point to the egg yolk crisp on the plate: "The dim sum shouldn't be hot, eat it quickly, otherwise it will be cold." ”

Zhu Yan glanced at Jian Xiaozhu deeply, then let go of his hand, picked up the egg yolk crisp and took a bite, the chill in his eyes disappeared instantly, but turned to look at Jian Xiaozhu in surprise: "I have traveled abroad for many years, and I have never tasted such a taste." ”

Jian Xiaozhu sneered: "So, I'll just say, there are more things you don't know." ”

Seeing that Zhu Yan's eyes were a little colder, Jian Xiaozhu hurriedly said, "As long as you like it, I can often cook it for you." ”

Zhu Yan was stunned for a moment, stuffed the remaining half of the egg yolk crisp in his hand into his mouth and swallowed it, then took a step back and said, "I'm not interested in you." ”

"What?" Jian Xiaozhu reacted to Zhu Yan's meaning, and his face was full of black lines: "You may have misunderstood......"

But Zhu Yan dropped a sentence of "I'll go back to Sister A's first" and left the kitchen.

When Jian Xiaozhu walked into the house with egg yolk crisp and pear soup, he saw Bai Ningshuang saying something to Zhu Yan with a smile in her eyes. And Zhu Yan held his cheeks and listened carefully to her words.

When facing the white condensation frost, the chill in Zhu Yan's eyes had completely disappeared. His eyes were lighter in color and looked like clean, clear amber.

The sunlight seeping into the house from outside the door fell on the flawless faces of the two siblings, and Jian Xiaozhu sighed in her heart, sure enough, the power of genes is powerful.

Jian Xiaozhu put the plate on the table and prepared to leave. But Bai Ningshuang stopped her: "Yunzhu, I heard that you have a cousin, her name is Zhang Ruohe." It is said that she is a beautiful woman with both ability and political integrity, and her reputation is far away. When do you have a chance, call her into the palace and let me see her. ”

However, as soon as Bai Ningshuang's words were finished, Zhu Yan said reluctantly: "Sister, forget it." And I think, in Dongyuan, there must be no more beautiful person than you. ”

Although Bai Ningshuang was happy, she still glanced at him: "It's useless to say good things to make me happy, anyway, I have to find you a family business." ”

On the side, hearing Bai Ningshuang's words, Jian Xiaozhu complained in her heart, this marriage is estimated to be difficult to succeed, after all, Zhang Ruohe has to serve you with a husband in the future!

Just thinking of the devastating fate that Zhang Ruohe brought to the family after entering the palace as a concubine, Jian Xiaozhu suddenly felt that it would be best if Zhang Ruohe and Zhu Yan could be matched. So Jian Xiaozhu said to Bai Ningshuang: "Guifei Niangniang, leave this matter to me!" Zhu Gongzi is a talent, and my cousin is really a match made in heaven. ”

After speaking, Jian Xiaozhu saw Bai Ningshuang with a satisfied expression and smiled at her. At the same time, a cold look also looked at her, but Jian Xiaozhu chose to ignore it.

At this time, Biyu pushed the door in, and reported to Bai Ningshuang with a panicked expression: "Guifei Niangniang, I, I heard ......"

Bai Ningshuang looked at Jasper suspiciously: "Speak slowly, what's wrong?" ”

"It's the Queen Mother...... The slave maid heard that the Empress Dowager had returned to the palace. ”

With a "bang", the spoon in Bai Ningshuang's hand fell to the ground. Jian Xiaozhu hurriedly went to clean up the debris on the ground, and when he looked up, he also saw Bai Ningshuang's gritted teeth of resentment, as well as the fear in his eyes.

Jian Xiaozhu knew that Bai Ningshuang's reaction came from her fear of the Empress Dowager.

In the novel, when Murong You proposed to marry Bai Ningshuang, the Empress Dowager stated that Murong You must not marry a singer from Qinglou, so she had a strong opposition to the marriage between the two. At that time, Murong You knelt outside the Empress Dowager's palace with Bai Ningshuang all night, and the old man really felt sorry for his grandson, so he relented. But in his heart, he also decided that Bai Ningshuang was a fox who charmed the monarch.

And after getting married, the Queen Mother was not less embarrassed. During that time, Bai Ningshuang's life in the palace was very difficult. Not long after, the Empress Dowager suddenly had a serious illness, so she went to the garden in the south to recuperate.

After the Empress Dowager left, Bai Ningshuang was finally free to start her path of demonization. Originally, according to the plot in the book, Su Moxue was framed for poisoning Bai Ningshuang with a hemp worm Gu, so she was grounded. When the Empress Dowager heard the news, she hurried back to the palace and helped Su Moxue at the same time cure Bai Ningshuang.

It's just that now, Su Moxue has not been grounded, but the Empress Dowager has returned to the palace.

After Bai Ningshuang heard the news, he began to sit at the table in a daze. She wanted to go to the Empress Dowager's Yongxi Palace to visit the old man's house, but she heard a message from the palace maid: The Empress Dowager was too tired to travel, and she didn't want to see anyone except the emperor and the queen.

Bai Ningshuang knew in her heart that the reason why the Empress Dowager came back was mostly because no one in the harem gave birth to an heir for Murong You. This made Bai Ningshuang grit her teeth, stroked her stomach, and sighed to herself: "Why, you are so unlucky." ”

And behind her, Jian Xiaozhu took in all of this. In my heart, I suddenly had the idea that I should try it even if I took a risk.

So, Jian Xiaozhu finally mustered up the courage and stepped forward and said, "Guifei Niangniang, if you can, the slave wants to go home." The slave maid remembered that there was a medical book in the library at home that recorded the recipe for asking for a child, and perhaps the slave and maid could go back to study and study. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Xiaozhu suddenly became nervous, wondering if Bai Ningshuang would see her intention to take this opportunity to go home.

When she raised her eyes, Jian Xiaozhu saw Bai Ningshuang looking at her coldly and said, "If others know that I used the secret recipe for asking for a child, won't I be laughed at." ”

Jian Xiaozhu knelt down: "The concubine's body is too weak, so the slave just wants to find some prescriptions for the mother to condition her body." And the slave maid just went home to visit relatives, and had nothing to do with the mother. ”

After speaking, Jian Xiaozhu looked up and saw that Bai Ningshuang finally nodded to her.
