Chapter 160: Jade Furnace Incense (2)
After entering, the queen had not come out yet, but she saw that the Liu family and the Xu family were there, and several little masters were also there. Ouyang Zhen was puzzled, and looked at the sky again, they did come early today.
As soon as the Liu family saw her coming, he stepped forward affectionately and took her hand and said, "Sister Ouyang's face is ruddy today, and I can't take my sister's eyes off it. ”
As soon as she said this, Ouyang Zhen only felt that the eyes on both sides swept towards his face. Ouyang Zhen broke away from her hand without a trace and smiled: "The dress that Mrs. Liu Guo wore today is what opened my sister's eyes." This fabric is not available in the palace. ”
Mrs. Liu Guo is wearing a smoky green tulle and silk material today, which is very peculiar. Lining her more and more radiantly.
Mrs. Liu Guo smiled slightly: "Yes, this cloth was bought by my father when he went to Qin State for business, and there is really no such thing." As he spoke, he sat affectionately with her.
Ouyang Zhen also laughed and greeted several concubines. At this time, I heard someone snort disdainfully: "Isn't it that the trade has not entered the palace, I think it is also flawed." ”
Mrs. Liuguo's face froze, and Ouyang Zhen heard the prestige, only to see Concubine Xu pursing her lips. This is a very unkind remark. Ouyang Zhen smiled when he heard this, and said softly: "Concubine Xu's words are bad, like the 'Liuyun Veil' we are wearing, didn't the previous dynasty also enter the palace." After a few years, the fabric on this Lady of Liu Guo will be able to prevail in our Great Chu Palace. ”
Concubine Xu snorted again and said no more. Mrs. Liu Guo eased her complexion at this time.
At this time the queen came out. Everyone knelt down and said goodbye.
The queen glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Get up." There are only a few sisters in this inner palace, and there is no need to be formal. When everyone got up, she suddenly looked at Ouyang Zhen and said: "Concubine Rou worked hard to serve the emperor last night, and the palace saw that your position was low, so I asked the emperor to allow you to mention your position another day." ”
As soon as Ouyang Zhen heard her words, the sharp eyes on all sides stabbed again.
On pins and needles! Ouyang Zhen only felt that the cold hairs on her body stood up, she quickly raised her eyes to look at the queen's expression, her face was kind, not shocked, but she couldn't see a trace of abnormality. A crimson phoenix dress is also very appropriate.
Ouyang Ji hurriedly left his seat and bowed: "The concubine is afraid. It is the duty to serve the emperor, where do you dare to raise the position again. Please ask the queen to take back her will. Her voice was slightly alarmed, with a cowardice, and couldn't help but arouse sympathy.
The queen nodded and said, "It's okay, you should learn from Concubine Rou." The crowd at the bottom responded.
Mrs. Liu Guo also smiled: "Yes, Concubine Rou is gentle and kind, no wonder the emperor likes it." In time, it will be easier to say that the dragon is conceived. ”
Ouyang Zhen blushed and said shyly: "Mrs. Liu Guo likes to make fun of concubines. Where is the blessing of the concubine as deep as the blessing of Mrs. Liuguo. ”
At this time, the eyes staring at Ouyang Zhen's back were a little less.
At this time, the queen said again: "Speaking of heirs, Wan Zhaoyi has more than seven months to count, so she should prepare well." However, this palace has been unwell recently, and it is not easy to take care of it. Or ask Mrs. Liu Guo to share the burden for the palace and take good care of Wan Zhaoyi's production matters. This is the emperor's first dragon fetus, but you should pay attention to it. ”
Mrs. Liu Guo hurriedly left her seat to receive the intention, and Wan Zhaoyi Lin also thanked her.
At this time, Wang Meiren suddenly sighed: "I see that my sisters are all favored by the emperor, and my sister is also happy for my sisters." I don't know when I'll have this blessing. ”
Mrs. Liu Guo smiled: "Sister Wang is young and beautiful, and she will be able to see it in the future." Wang Meiren smiled at this time.
Everyone gossiped for a while, and when they saw that the queen's face was tired, they hurriedly said goodbye and retired.
Ouyang Zhen walked slowly, and Wan Hui helped him to walk back.
The snow under my feet was gurgling, and the sun was shining on the top, and the snow had not yet melted, and it was very slippery. Wan Hui helped her walk cautiously.
"Niangniang, let's sit on your shoulders, this ground is very slippery." Wan Hui saw that she was walking hard, and hurriedly persuaded. Ouyang Zhen looked back and saw that the four little attendants who were carrying their shoulders were also walking very hard, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, get up early and eat enough, and you have to disperse." It's not cost-effective to ask them to lift in case they fall together. ”
Wan Hui had no choice but to let her go.
Ouyang Zhen suddenly said: "Wan Zhaoyi went back but used her shoulder?" Wan Hui was stunned for a moment before she said: "Because of the snow in the past few days, I heard that Mrs. Liu Guo specially found a sedan chair and asked the little waiter to carry Wan Zhaoyi out." However, the slave maid saw that Wan Zhaoyi also lived in a simple house, and did not go out often. ”
Ouyang Zhen said strangely: "Mrs. Liu Guo is careful. No wonder the queen asked her to take care of Wan Zhaoyi. "Although the sedan chair is also carried by people, even if it falls, it will not fall to the ground with a bone, but it is much safer than shoulder-to-shoulder.
Wan Hui muttered: "I don't know what she has in mind." ”
Ouyang Zhen smiled faintly and did not speak. Thinking? Of course, I did it with thought. If she doesn't want to please the emperor, she wants to set an example for the harem, so that everyone can know that she is Mrs. Liu Guo is broad-minded and amiable.
However, the queen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she will push Wan Zhaoyi to take care of her in a word, taking good care of it is her duty, and taking good care of it is a sin......
It was difficult to walk all the way, but it also came to the "Huayan Palace". Ouyang Zhen instructed Wan Hui to add spices, salt and sugar to the plucked pigeon in the morning, fry it in ginger oil first, and then add soy sauce and a little water to simmer it together. Simmer slowly, take it out after an hour, and then take it out, and when the soup is boiled, the whole pigeon is golden and buttery, and the aroma is overflowing, which is very attractive.
Ouyang Zhen used the secret method to get the pigeon eggs again, look at the sky, the day is almost in the middle of the sky, and Chu Huotian should also eat. She asked Wan Hui to get the food box and rushed all the way to the "Qianyuan Palace".
With a long shoulder, Wan Hui walked behind and sweated on her forehead, and after half a pillar of incense, she arrived at Chu Huotian's bedroom. Li Jingcai had already ordered her subordinates to come over. Naturally, an attendant hurriedly led her into the side hall.
"Manager Li explained, Concubine Rou came over to rest here first, and the emperor and several ministers were still discussing important matters. Please wait. "His voice was high-pitched, feminine and feminine.
Ouyang Zhen nodded and waited patiently.
After a while, another chamberlain led her in. Chu Huotian had already cleaned his hands and sat at the table, a table full of ninety-nine eighty-one dishes.
Ouyang Zhen stepped forward and gave a big salute. Chu Huotian helped her up with a smile, looked at her carefully, and then smiled: "It's good to come, you've been waiting for a long time, right?" ”
Ouyang Zhen sat down under him: "No, the concubine got something for the emperor to taste." Chu Huotian became interested, and said with a smile: "Okay, take it out quickly." ”
