Chapter 196: Currying favor with the Queen Mother
There was such a big thing in the palace, Concubine Wan didn't want to interfere, and after all, this was a fatal thing, and if she didn't do it, she would become a substitute for the dead ghost. So that night, after watching the excitement, she went back to the palace early, out of sight.
But the next day, when she heard that the emperor had a big temper and ran to Fengqi Palace to reprimand the queen, she immediately felt refreshed.
"I didn't expect that the queen mother, who is careful everywhere, will also be rejected one day," her happy eyes lit up, "If you can't bring down Chu Baolin, it's good to let the queen fall!" ”
Concubine Wan Guifei's happy breakfast was more than usual, and after eating, she was just about to take advantage of the interest to go outside for a few turns, when she suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Then the emperor was so angry yesterday, who did he go to in the end?" ”
Now the people around her didn't dare to squeak, and one by one they were lower than anyone's head.
Wan Guifei glared at them for a while, and soon understood, and angrily ripped off the hairpin ring that had just been made on her head, and she didn't care if the whole head shape was messed up, gritting her teeth as if she was going to swallow people alive.
"Chu Yue! You vixen! See how I clean you up! ”
She looked at her beautiful face in the mirror, but her face became distorted because of anger, and she was even more aggrieved in her heart.
After smashing it in her room again, Wan Guifei finally raised her head, and her eyes revealed bursts of hatred.
"Good...... Since you are all going to rob me one by one, then I will let you know the consequences! ”
Chu Yue from Lihuatai here didn't know that she had been scolded by someone, she slept very soundly this night, and she didn't get up until almost midnight.
Rouge walked in with a smile on her face to freshen up, and then asked her with a smile how she slept last night, grinning while talking, the corners of her mouth were about to reach the sky.
Chu Yue glared: "Are you so happy to pick up the money?" Why didn't you care so much about me sleeping well before? ”
Rouge was not wronged: "Isn't this the emperor suddenly coming yesterday?" I'm worried that you've been woken up and haven't slept well, master. ”
"What did you say?!" Chu Yue was taken aback, "The emperor came yesterday?" Didn't he leave early? ”
"Don't you know...... Rouge was also shocked, and then sighed, "It seems that the emperor is really good to you, and he doesn't even want to wake you up when you fall asleep." ”
Chu Yue's face flushed, thinking of the warm thing he was holding last night, it was probably Feng Jixuan......
He ...... I thought he wasn't coming......" Chu Yue's heart couldn't help but feel warm, it seems that this Ji Xuan doesn't completely ignore himself.
"The slave also thought that the emperor would not come back, but I didn't expect someone to knock on the door in the middle of the night, and I saw that it was the emperor who frightened me! But he went all the way
Shangdu is quiet, I just don't want to wake you up," Rouge said happily on his face, "This honor is unique in the harem." ”
"Don't talk about it!" Chu Yue lowered her voice a little, "If these words are heard by others, I will be the one who suffers." ”
Rouge quickly lowered his head and continued to concentrate on helping Chu Yue comb her hair in a bun.
"By the way," Chu Yue suddenly raised his head, "Did Ye Changyi have any results from the incident last night?" ”
Rouge shook his head: "I also inquired this morning to find out, that Ye Yiyi died very miserably, and a clear-eyed person knew that he was framed at a glance, but the emperor couldn't do it, I heard that he also went to the queen to lose his temper......"
"Queen?" Chu Yue raised her eyebrows, "Could it be that this matter is related to the queen?" ”
"It's not, it's just that the emperor saw the recent turmoil in the harem, so he reprimanded a few words."
Chu Yue nodded clearly, and then frowned slightly.
"I still don't want to meddle in this matter, otherwise I'll only get into trouble."
Chu Yue said quietly, and seeing that today's sun was just right, it was very suitable for going out for a walk, so she couldn't sit still anymore, and decided that it would be better to go to the Queen Mother after hesitation.
The Queen Mother has always liked to be quiet, and the gossip in this palace is estimated to not flow there.
Chu Yue said that he would go, but he still prepared a gift carefully before going over, after all, if he ran to the Sanqing Hall empty-handed, his tendency to take refuge was too obvious.
When Chu Yue arrived, the Queen Mother was sitting in the pavilion to enjoy the shade, and several palace women around her kept fanning her with a big fan, which helped her get rid of the dryness a little, but there was still a thin layer of fine sweat on her forehead.
She was listless when she saw Chu Yue coming, but waved her hand lazily: "Get up." ”
Chu Yue knew that the Queen Mother was hot at this time, and because she was too old to eat ice at all, she could only hold on like this, so she specially prepared a white fungus lotus seed soup for her.
"The Queen Mother, the concubine looks at this day is too big, I think you must be hot and unbearable at this time, so I specially prepared a white fungus lotus seed soup, which not only cools off the heat and quenches thirst, but also not easy to hurt the body, especially suitable for you."
Chu Yue said as she asked Rouge to bring up the white fungus lotus seed soup, and personally dug a small spoonful and sent it to the Queen Mother's mouth.
This white fungus lotus seed soup looks crystal clear, the Queen Mother felt very cool when she saw it, but she didn't expect it to be cool when she ate it into her mouth, it was very refreshing, and she hurriedly ate a bite without saying a word, and it tasted deliciously.
Chu Yue knew that she would like it, this thing is a must-have in the summer of the 21st century, and the Queen Mother will be able to eat it during her lifetime, no, it is the credit of her painstaking study of cooking skills in her previous life
Yes......
The Queen Mother ate most of the bowl in the blink of an eye, and then breathed a sigh of relief, surprised to find that the heat on her body had really faded a lot, and the whole person was refreshed.
"Chu Baolin has worked hard, and the mourning family is very moved," she nodded with satisfaction, and asked again, "What is this white fungus lotus seed soup made of, how can it be so magical?" ”
Chu Yue stuck out her tongue mischievously: "This is the concubine's unique secret recipe, and it will never be passed on!" But if the queen mother wants to eat, just tell the concubines, even if it is the third watch, the concubines will get up in the middle of the night to make it for you! ”
The words made the Queen Mother laugh, and she never complained about the weather again, but only talked to Chu Yue comfortably.
Chu Yue thought to herself that she had come here today to be considered the right one, if she stayed in the Pear Flower Terrace, she might have to be brought over for questioning at any point, and she didn't want to see either Wan Guifei or the queen.
It's better to please the Queen Mother here, better than anything else.
This simple and easy-to-understand truth, like Wan Guifei's arrogant and domineering temperament, can't be understood.
