Chapter 103: The Star and the Son
Seeing that the cook was busy, the dishes used and the dishes fried were not like those made for the concubines on weekdays, he asked curiously.
"Hey, this is not a senior monk from Baohua Palace, the Queen Mother ordered us to arrange a few dishes that can be handled." Speaking of this, Xiao Mingzi has a headache.
The imperial dining room has always made mountain treasures and delicacies, where to cook fasting, but a group of skilled and experienced chefs are difficult.
"What's so hard about this, I'll see." Yu Qing hasn't been back to the imperial dining room to cook for a long time, and her palms are itchy and ready to move.
"How does this work?" Xiao Mingzi stopped Yu Qing, and on the whim of the master, they had to be vigilant as slaves.
"Manager Ming, it's okay, let the little master show them a hand." Xiyue knew that Yu Qing liked to cook very much, so she finally came to such a trip, so she didn't follow Xiao Mingzi to stop her.
Yu Qing walked to the stove, looked at the ingredients, and his heart was full, and he thought of the very stylish master of the dust in the Baohua Palace, and he had a plan in his heart.
A meal is so handy, the chefs in the room are amazed, it turns out that the food can be made so delicate and distinctive, and there is really no end to learning.
The plate was obviously filled with a fish, but they saw with their own eyes that Yu Qing used a series of soy products such as tofu, dried tofu, and tofu skin.
The other plates are also, the appearance is meat, and the inside is vegan, which is really confusing and confusing.
Yu Qing also got her wish, and stopped with satisfaction, just look at the old monk, seeing a table of chicken, duck and fish, I can't get off the chopsticks, haha, I am happy to think about it.
Master Lichen stayed in the palace for seven days, chanting sutras and praying for blessings every day.
On the seventh day, the Queen Mother knew that Master Chen was leaving, so she went to Baohua Hall to see him off.
"I've worked hard for the past few days." The Queen Mother sat in the side hall and said goodbye to the dust, "But before the Zen master left, the mourning family had a reluctant invitation." ”
"Amitabha, the Queen Mother said it was okay." Master Lichen clasped his hands together, and a string of Buddhist beads wrapped around the palm of his hand.
"The mourning family wants to ask the master to help calculate how many emperors and grandsons the mourning family can have." Now the emperor is not young, and the first emperor has a lot of sons and princesses at his age.
But now the harem only has one eldest son of the emperor, and the nobles are not necessarily male or female, and the other concubines have not moved, which is related to the inheritance of the throne and the future of the country, and the queen mother has to pay attention to it.
"The poor monk knew that the Queen Mother would have this question, and he had watched the stars yesterday night and calculated that there was only one star representing the prince in the palace." Lichen stroked his beard and sighed.
What the!
The Queen Mother looked at the dust in disbelief, which means that the emperor will only have one son, and the mourning family will only have one grandson! It's worth it!
"Zen Master Chen, this, is there a way to save this?" The Queen Mother frowned and asked.
There is only one star, and the existing prince is the son of Concubine Zhen, it seems that the princess in the belly of the noble man is a princess, and the most anxious thing for the queen mother is that the other concubines can't give birth to a prince!
Master Lichen stroked his beard again and said, "There is indeed a way to save it, and it is necessary to let the most noble woman in the palace go to the temple to pray for blessings for three months." ”
"The most honorable woman? Is it a mourner, or a queen? I also hope that the Zen master will guide the maze. The Queen Mother asked suspiciously.
She is the queen mother, and she is the most honorable, but if she is praying for the heirs of the harem, should she be the queen, after all, she is the master of the East Palace.
Lichen shook his head and said, "This person must have a son in his life." ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, her brows were not stretched, but tightened.
Hit a child? Feng Jingyuan, the only eldest son of the emperor in the palace, was born to Concubine Zhen, but Concubine Zhen is dead, and now she is raised by Yu Qing, wouldn't it be Yu Qing to have a son in her life!
But it is clear that she is just a noble person, and she can become the most noble woman, where will she put the queen?
Could it be that the emperor will one day abolish the queen and replace it with Yu Qing? !
The Queen Mother was frightened by the speculation in her head, but this is what Master Chen said, there will be no mistake, "The mourning family knows, thank you Master for solving the doubts." ”
The Queen Mother nodded, sent Master Chen away, and returned to Shou'an Palace, still unable to return to her senses.
"Mama Li, you say, is it really this noble person who is the most noble woman in the harem?" The Queen Mother asked Mama Li, who stood aside for many years after that.
Thinking about it, I felt that I had a headache again, and when Mama Li saw this, she stepped forward and gently pressed the queen mother's temple with her middle finger.
"Queen Mother, don't be too sad, but tired yourself." Mama Li comforted.
She also can't understand this matter, it is not good to be a slave and maid, talking about the master's affairs, especially involving the queen's position, and the slightest carelessness is the crime of killing the head and stealing the family.
A little palace maid hurriedly ran in from the Kunning Palace, and this person was Tinglan, the queen's henchman.
Ran into the side hall and saw that the queen was worshipping Guanyin, so she didn't dare to disturb and stood quietly aside.
After the queen saluted the Buddha, she took the handkerchief in the hands of the palace maid who was guarding on the side and handed it to the queen to clean her hands, and helped the queen to sit on the side couch and offer the new tribute Biluochun, only to hear the queen mother speak.
"What's the matter, tell me." The queen asked as she looked at Tinglan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped.
Ting Lan's mouth closed again, and she glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs around her.
When the queen saw Tinglan's appearance, she knew that what she wanted to say must be related to herself, and she couldn't easily communicate with outsiders, so she waved her hand and dismissed a room of people who were waiting.
"Queen Mother, the slave maid just went to the Baohua Hall to deliver your hand-copied "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra", the guard guarding the door is a fellow slave and maid, and he is familiar with the slave maid, he told the slave maid ......"
The guard Wang Er who guarded the door and Tinglan were indeed fellow villagers, but what she didn't tell the truth was that the two were also childhood sweethearts, and they entered the palace together and received each other privately for a long time.
The palace maid guards fornicated, it was a capital crime in the palace, Tinglan relied on herself as the queen's personal maid, it was convenient to enter and exit, and she often had private meetings with Wang Er, and the queen was kept in the dark.
Today, the queen ordered Tinglan to Baohua Hall to send her hand-copied scriptures to Master Chen, which meant to see him off.
Tinglan is also loyal, talking about the blessing of the Baohua Palace, mentioning that the Queen Mother asked the master to help with divination before Master Chen's departure, at that time, Wang Er was standing in the side hall, and heard the conversation between the Queen Mother and Master Chen, Tinglan immediately pushed Wang Er away, dressed neatly, and hurried back to Kunning Palace to inform the queen.
"Ridiculous!" The queen could no longer maintain the dignified atmosphere on the surface, and raised her hand to overturn the low table on the side couch, the fruit plate, the tea cup was torn apart, and the lychees and melons were scattered all over the ground.
The eunuchs and palace maids in the courtyard didn't dare to come in to clean up when they heard the sound, and they also frightened Tinglan, who was standing next to the queen.
She had never seen the queen so angry, and she had lost her former grace and nobility.
"The queen mother was angry and hurt her body carefully." Wanhe reassured, went out and called the eunuchs and palace maids to come in and clean up the mess, and when they cleaned up, they would drive people out.
During this period, the queen sat on the side couch without saying a word, with undisguised anger on her face.
At this time, where does the queen know what it means to be angry, this fire is burning, and it is strange that it can be extinguished.
Yu Qing, the most noble woman?! She deserves it too!
Master Lichen is a high-ranking monk, what he said should not be false, does Yuqing really want to take his place and become the queen?
No, she doesn't allow it!
"Humph! This palace wants to see if she has the life to live until that time! ”
If there really is such a day, it is better to strike first, act as soon as possible, and never suffer in the future.
At this time, Yu Qing didn't know that Master Chen secretly poked and poked to help her pull a wave of hatred, waiting for her to upgrade to fight monsters and kill bosses.
She is in the courtyard of Wenhua Palace, watering and fertilizing the famous peony, the smell of the sky is so smoked that the people who are waiting for it are gone, Yu Qing has always been generous to the palace maids and eunuchs, and she does not call them, and there are only three people left in the whole courtyard.
In the evening, Xiyue pinched her nose and hid far away, eager to kill herself on the spot.
"Little lord, why do you pour manure into the soil?" Because of pinching his nose, Evening Lotus Ben has a low and hoarse voice that is even more strange and toned.
"You don't understand, the nutrients in the manure are sufficient, so that the rise of the flower will be better, and the bloom will be more delicate, haven't you heard the sentence that a flower is inserted in cow dung?"
Yu Qing wrapped her nose with a damp cloth and tied it behind her head, she was very surprised that she didn't know how to fertilize, Xiyue didn't know how to fertilize, who was born as a maid, and they were all so squeamish, but she was a maid.
As soon as she heard that she was going to use manure as fertilizer, Xiyue actually retched when she heard it, although Wanhe was young, she kept admonishing herself to be steady and old-fashioned, but her eyebrows were also locked, and she didn't untie it all morning.
They were reluctant to do it, and in the end, the person who put forward the idea ended up in person, and it was really singable and crying to be the master to do her job.
It's no wonder that the smell of this fertilizer is really good, and the three of them locked their eyes on the famous peony in the center, and they didn't pay attention to the two people coming in at the gate of the palace.
"What is this?"
The emperor came in at the door, saw Yu Qing with a smile on his face, looked at the scene of the three of them, and was about to walk over curiously, but he was swept away by the smell of the nose, and he didn't stop enough at the moment and took two steps back.
Xue Gui was originally following behind the emperor, his body bowed slightly, but who knew that the emperor suddenly stopped and retreated, and he almost crashed over, so frightened that he took a cold breath, wanting to remind the emperor to be careful.
It doesn't matter if this bite is this, Xue Gui felt that he almost didn't get angry, so he swallowed back the words that he was about to say, and he also went down with a little stink, thinking about it, he felt disgusted in his heart, and muttered in his heart, "This noble person, what kind of moth is it?" ”
When Yu Qing saw the emperor coming, she put down the melon scoop in her hand and bowed her head and saluted: "The emperor is auspicious." ”
The emperor felt that he was not lucky at all, "I ask you, what is this for?" ”
Yu Qing got up, walked to the emperor's side without a trace, and said: "This is not the white jade peony given by the emperor, the concubine takes good care of it, why is the emperor here now?"
Smelling this smell, looking at this situation, the emperor already understood what Yu Qing was doing, but he felt that the closer Yu Qing came to, the worse the bad smell became.
"I passed by, came in to see you, and remembered that there were still some excerpts in the imperial study that had not been approved, so I went back first, Xue Gui!" The emperor took a wrong step back, wanted to stay away from Yu Qing, called Xue Gui, and prepared to set up the imperial study.
