Chapter 2 The Old Days, Master's Recollections
Luo Xi was frightened by this realization, calmed down, and walked in with tea.
When the queen heard footsteps, she stopped talking, and looked at the person who walked in, it was Luo Xi, "Xi'er, why did you bring tea in." ”
Luo Xi bowed slightly and saluted and served tea to the two mothers, "Back to the mother, Luo Xi met the palace maid outside and said to serve tea to the two mothers, Luo Xi thought about coming over to serve the mother, so he helped her bring it in." ”
"Xi'er came just in time, Bengong is trying to eat the pastries you made, go make some for Bengong."
Luo Xi nodded, "Okay, Niangniang, wait a minute, Luo Xi will go and cook something for you." ”
"It turns out that Luo Xi can also make food." Rufei smiled and spoke.
Luo Xi didn't have a good impression of this concubine, and smiled faintly, "Luo Xi just knows how to make a little simple food, and when the mother tastes it, don't be surprised if it's not good, Luo Xi retired." ”
Concubine Ru watched Luo Xi walk out, and said with a smile, "This is the woman Ming'er likes, she looks very smart." ”
The queen nodded, "Xi'er is a good child, well-behaved and intelligent. ”
"Then my sister will call the shots for them." Rufei said with a smile.
"Let the children's affairs be decided by themselves." The queen sighed lightly, she had also probed Luo Xi's tone from the side, knowing that Luo Xi didn't mean that to Ming'er, and it was inconvenient for her to interfere. She also asked Ming'er what she meant, and Ming'er didn't let her care.
Luo Xi walked to the imperial dining room and saw the familiar Master Wang, who was old and tired from standing, sitting there resting and panting.
Luo Xi walked over and patted her on the back, "Master Wang, are you okay?" ”
Master Wang raised his head and glanced at her, "Miss Luoxi, why are you here?" ”
Luo Xi frowned, why did Master Wang's tone reveal some indescribable feeling, "Master Wang, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It's fine." Master Wang sighed lightly, "I'm old." ”
"How can Master Wang be old, he looks like he is only thirty years old, he is in the prime of life, how can he be old." Luo Xi felt that it didn't seem to be so simple, so he changed the topic, "Master Wang, I'm here to cook something delicious for the two mothers, you can help me." ”
"Well, okay, Miss Luo Xi wants to do something for the two mothers."
Luo Xi helped Master Wang up, "Master Wang, you can call me Luo Xi, it's always Miss Luo Xi, Miss Luo Xi's, it's quite outward, the two mothers must be in a bad mood recently, make something sweet but not greasy, it can make them feel good." ”
"Well, Luo Xi, Niangniang, they're in a bad mood, what do you need me to do?" Master Wang said and took Luo Xi inside and began to clean up.
"Master Wang, haven't you heard about what happened in the past two days?" Luo Xi looks at Master Wang's age, maybe he will know what happened.
"I don't know, what's going on?"
"It's nothing special, Master Wang, how many years have you been working in the palace?" Luo Xi also came over to help and started working.
"It's been forty years, and I'm old."
Luo Xi didn't expect Master Wang to be here for so many years, "Master Wang, did you enter the palace when you were a teenager?" You've been a chef for more than 40 years, that's amazing. ”
Chef Wang smiled, "Where would you start being an imperial chef when you were a teenager?" ”
"So what did you do in the first place?"
Master Wang suddenly stopped talking, and quickly did the work at hand.
"Master Wang, what's wrong with you? You okay. Luo Xi noticed that something was wrong with Master Wang. Suddenly, there was a feeling as if I could know something from his mouth. Luo Xi quietly closed the door, "What did you do before?" ”
Master Wang seemed to have wanted to say what was buried in his heart for a long time, sighed and sat down, falling into memory.
"More than 20 years ago, when the first emperor had not yet ascended the throne, it was still when Emperor Chengqian was in power. He has two children, the crown prince and the prince. Master Wang paused here as he spoke.
Luo Xi looked at him, waiting for him to continue. Seeing that he didn't speak, he said, "Master Wang, I won't tell anyone, you just treat me as a trash can and pour out your troubles." ”
Master Wang glanced at her, although he didn't have much contact with this woman, but he knew that she was different, and she was the one who was brought back by the prince, and then said, "At that time, I was working in the internal affairs office, and I hadn't yet arrived at the imperial dining room, and I accidentally made a cup of tea, and Emperor Chengqian liked it very much, so the chief manager asked me to go to the Chengqian Palace to serve, and Emperor Chengqian had two sons, the prince and a prince at that time. ”
"Is the crown prince the future emperor?" Luo Xi interjected.
Master Wang sighed, "The prince is the later emperor, the father of the current emperor." ”
Luo Xi was taken aback, the prince was the emperor, that is, the prince did not become the emperor back then, that is, the prince took the throne, or the emperor Chengqian abolished the crown prince that year.
Master Wang continued, "The prince of the year was a benevolent and righteous person, he would be a Ming monarch, and the prince was also a rare talent, and the people in the court were divided into two factions, and the prince and the prince were both very good people, and Emperor Chengqian was also very troubled at that time, and often said that the prince and the prince were very good, if one of them ascended the throne and the other assisted, they would definitely be prosperous, but it was ....."
Luo Xi continued, "It's just that the sky is not as good as people want, they did not assist each other, but killed each other." "The story between them, Luo Xi has almost guessed, the drama of the Qing Dynasty, the nine sons seize the heir, I have seen too much, the court is like this, the temptation of the throne is too great, but she still doesn't know the relationship between Guo Feiyu and this matter.
Master Wang nodded, this woman is really not ordinary, very smart, he only said a little, she can guess, "Later, I entered the imperial dining room, specializing in handling the prince's son's meal, that child is also very smart, and then not long after Emperor Chengqian died, in fact, Emperor Chengqian made an edict before he died, only blamed the prince for being too benevolent, reluctant to get rid of the prince, caring for the feelings of brotherhood, who would have thought that the prince did not care about the feelings of brothers and sisters, harmed the prince, changed the edict, and became the emperor." When Master Wang said this, he held his heart and looked like his heart was aching.
Luo Xi helped Master Wang, afraid that he would fall, "Master Wang, are you okay?" "It turns out that there was such a thing back then, and for the sake of the high throne, that symbol of power, how much temptation there was, to kill each other, to kill each other, to kill brothers ruthlessly, just for the high throne, this is called the cycle of cause and effect, many years later, another person came back to his son to take back the throne.
Master Wang sighed, "It's okay." ”
"Actually, the person who came here to set things right was the child of the prince back then, right?" Luo Xi boldly assumed that he felt that the only one who was qualified to come back was the prince's child, Guo Feiyu must be the prince's child, as for how this child escaped, it is unknown.
"I don't know, I didn't see him, I can't be sure, I just suspect that he may be the child who escaped back then." Master Wang sighed, "The pastry is cooked, you can quickly take it to the queen and give it to the queen to eat." Chef Wang got up and began to set up the pastries.
Luo Xi also stood up, Master Wang should have told everything he knew, and the next thing needs to be traced by himself, maybe it's time to meet that person.
