Chapter 224: Self-Knowledge
Seeing Mingxiu's blank face, Xie Zhan couldn't help but be a little funny, thinking that Mingxiu was so cute.
"I made a holy decree early, but I was afraid that you would have a burden, so I never told you."
If I don't tell her now, my daughter-in-law will run away.
If she got the news when she just promised Xie Zhan, Mingxiu would naturally be happy, but now let alone happy, she was full of grievances.
It is obviously unrealistic to resist the decree, but to marry him like this......
Mingxiu felt unwilling again.
After all, this kind of thing is still very sacred in her heart, and she has just experienced what Xie Zhan said, for the sake of the so-called overall situation, there is no way to retaliate even if she is calculated.
This is something that is intolerable for Mingxiu.
pursed her lips slightly, struggling in her heart for a long time, and finally Mingxiu still thought that it was inappropriate to resist the decree.
So she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, she was ruthless and said, "Okay, I agree." ”
Xie Zhan had to compromise for the sake of the overall situation, she was for her family and so many years of hard work.
That's it, how many couples in this world are really united because of love?
She and Xie Zhan are not blind and dumb marriages, which is already very good.
originally thought that as long as Mingxiu agreed to marry him, he would be complete, but at this time, seeing Mingxiu's face full of unwillingness and having to bow his head, Xie Zhan felt uncomfortable in his heart.
But if you want to give up on her because of this, it is impossible.
Xie Zhan has grown up so far, and he doesn't know how many things he has experienced, but it is foreseeable that there is only one person who wants to spend his life together, Mingxiu.
He also had a hunch that if he gave up Mingxiu at this time, he would definitely regret it in the future, there was no one in the world who made him more happy than Mingxiu.
Lowering his eyes, Xie Zhan secretly decided in his heart that after the incident at this time passed, he would never let Mingxiu be wronged again.
Even if she is angry now, she will always be happy with him for a long time in the future.
After taking a deep look at Mingxiu, Xie Zhan said: "Your family may not know anything about the three books and six rites of the palace, so I will send someone to help when I go back." ”
has already agreed, Mingxiu doesn't have much opinion on this, "The prince has decided." ”
Even if he decided to compromise, Mingxiu was still angry at this time, and naturally he would not be as kind and familiar with him as before.
Xie Zhan sighed, and his resentment towards the Shu family deepened.
But at this time, it's not the time to pay attention to the Shu family, the important thing is to marry Mingxiu home quickly.
Even though the holy decree had been issued, but Mingxiu had not officially become his wife, Xie Zhan still had a feeling of unreality.
On the day he returned, he sent a competent steward, and at the same time a grandmother.
Although it is said to be a parenting grandmother, it is actually here to explain the etiquette of the palace and the palace for Mingxiu, and it is not as strict as the parenting grandmother of others.
In fact, even if he was an old man in the palace at this time, he could only be polite to Mingxiu.
Who made this county lord the sharp-eyed of the regent?
After settling the housekeeper and grandmother, and letting Ming's mother follow them, Mingxiu went to the palace.
It stands to reason that she should go to see Concubine Zhen at this time, but Xie Zhan didn't mention it to her, and Mingxiu was happy to pretend that she didn't know.
When the emperor saw Mingxiu, he stepped forward in three or two steps and said, "The dim sum made by Lan Shuang is not as delicious as the one you make!" "I still look a little aggrieved.
The wet eyes looked at Mingxiu, and there were three big words in his eyes.
You lied to me!
Didn't you say it at the beginning? Lan Shuang's craftsmanship is better than Mingxiu's.
But after tasting it, the emperor realized that it was not the case at all!
If it weren't for Lan Shuang's skill in making serious dishes, he would have asked for a return a long time ago.
Mingxiu looked at the emperor suspiciously, "Lan Shuang's craftsmanship is not as good as mine?" It doesn't make sense. ”
Obviously, the emperor would not deliberately embarrass her in this matter, Mingxiu thought for a while and said, "Can you let the courtiers meet Lan Shuang?" ”
There is no external reason for this.
At least when she was remembering, whether Lan Shuang was making snacks or cooking, her craftsmanship was better than that of Mingxiu.
Mingxiu's surprise didn't seem to be fake, and the emperor also believed that she wouldn't fool herself about this kind of thing, so he didn't feel embarrassed, and directly asked people to call Lan Shuang.
While waiting, the emperor chatted with Mingxiu.
"Don't the ingredients of the palace are not as good as you remember, right? I've heard that the taste of food has a lot to do with the ingredients. ”
Hearing this, Mingxiu was not only stunned, "No...... shouldn't the ingredients in the palace be the best?"
Not to mention the top in the desert, at least it has to be the top in the capital.
Besides, didn't she cook for the emperor when she used ingredients from the palace?
At that time, he was so satisfied, why did he start to find fault with all kinds of things now?
The situation in the palace is complicated, and Myeongsu has to start conspiracy theories.
Don't someone deliberately stumble on Lan Shuang.
Why?
Is it for her?
Although Mingxiu is not inferior, she also has self-knowledge, and the royal family, she really has nothing to target, if she wants to target her, then she can only go to Xie Zhan.
Starting from Lan Shuang to Xie Zhan?
It's a bit too big.
Mingxiu felt that this should not be the case.
The emperor wrinkled his nose and looked very aggrieved, "That's what she did on purpose!" ”
It is a big crime to deliberately deceive the king, Lan Shuang entered the palace because of her, and Mingxiu couldn't let her bear the charge without asking clearly.
"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, and ask Lan Shuang in a while, maybe there is some misunderstanding in it."
Even if it wasn't her intention to enter the palace, Mingxiu thought, Lan Shuang shouldn't deliberately fool the emperor, right?
In case the emperor was angry, her head would not be saved, and Lan Shuang should not have such courage.
In the blink of an eye, Lan Shuang arrived.
Seeing Mingxiu, her eyes were slightly red subconsciously.
No matter how she wanted to pounce on Mingxiu to complain, the emperor was still there, and she could only kneel down to ask for peace first.
"You masters and servants say it yourself, I still have official business."
Before leaving, the emperor glanced at Mingxiu, and the meaning was self-evident.
There was some helplessness in his head, and Mingxiu only felt funny.
Although since beating Xie Zhan and gradually letting go and letting the emperor monopolize power, he has looked a lot more mature, and his cold face has also become a deterrent.
But it's still a child's heart, and those who love to eat and play don't really have bad intentions.
Otherwise, Lan Shuang had already made him angry, why didn't he just dispose of people?
Seeing the emperor leaving, Lan Shuang was obviously relieved.
This attitude changed too obviously, Mingxiu frowned and looked at her, "You tell me the truth, the saint said that your craftsmanship has deteriorated, what the hell is going on?" ”
Originally, Mingxiu believed that Lan Shuang would not do things to fool people.
But she also saw the reaction between Lan Shuang and the emperor, and she couldn't help but have doubts.
Lan Shuang looked very embarrassed, looked at Mingxiu in embarrassment, and whispered: "The father-in-law next to the saint said that I am a good craftman, and if I like the holy mountain, I will also leave the palace in the future, and if I want to enjoy the glory of the holy grace for a long time, I have to stay in the palace for a long time." ”
How do you stay in the palace?
Naturally, she became the emperor's woman.
Now the emperor is also thirteen years old, and it stands to reason that he has reached the age of general affairs.
But his identity is here, and his first woman requirements are somewhat complicated.
It is necessary to be honest and pleasing him, and at the same time clean.
It's not just the body that's clean, it's the background that's clean.
After all, the first woman must be different from a man, and if it is the daughter of a minister, it is rare to have turmoil in the harem.
Now it is not time for the emperor to take a wife.
In this case, his eyes were set on the palace maid.
Lan Shuang was sent in by Mingxiu, and the background was clean.
At the same time, her craftsmanship is pleasing to the emperor, and those fathers-in-law who are worried about the emperor's private affairs naturally think of this.
As long as her craftsmanship continues to improve, is it still worried that she will not be able to prosper for a lifetime in the future?
If you are lucky enough to give birth to a prince, you don't have to worry about it for the rest of your life, isn't this better than matching someone outside?
Listening to Lan Shuang's words, Mingxiu's face was full of words.
Thirteen years old, still a child, about to arrange a woman?
Even the way she looked at Lan Shuang became strange.
"And what do you think?"
If Lan Shuang really had the idea of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, she wouldn't feel anything, this is human nature, but ...... The old cow eats tender grass or something, it's a shame.
looked at Shang Mingxiu's eyes, although Lan Shuang didn't understand why her face was so strange.
But she didn't ask much, but said, "The slave and maid are self-aware, where can they enjoy the rain and dew of the Holy Grace?" ”
In fact, when the father-in-law came to tell her about it, and even said that the emperor also had this intention, she was not unmoved.
After all...... That's the Emperor.
But on second thought, how many of the women of the former emperor died silently in this cannibalistic harem?
She just has a cooking skill, and she knows herself.
In the future, when the queen and the ladies of the family enter the palace, will she still be able to live a good life?
Instead of thinking about climbing to the sky in one step, it is better to keep your feet on the ground.
Mingxiu's actions told her that a woman's marriage is not just a matter of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, the most important thing is to suit herself.
If she can get out of the palace and marry outside the palace, with her friendship with Mingxiu and the experience of serving in the palace, she can stand up and hold up a piece of the sky.
But if everything she relies on is in the palace, it is worthless.
Instead of coming out, it is better to hide yourself, and when you leave the palace, you can live your own life comfortably, and you know that this is much smoother than being in the palace.
For a girl with a clear mind, Mingxiu likes it very much.
She bowed, "I will help you make peace with the Holy One, but if you want to make your wishes come true...... Train a little apprentice in the palace and pass on your cooking skills to him. ”
