Zheng Shu looked a little annoyed, "If you are so stubborn, then we can't talk about the next words." ”

Bai Ling just smiled, she sighed softly, "Granny Shu", and then whispered, "I think I'm already a good communicator." No matter what others want to say to me or what they want me to do, I will listen to it before making a decision. But if the old lady only controls me under the guise of communication, that's a different story. ”

"What do we control you?" Zheng Shu sneered, "The most uncontrolled person in this palace is you!" In the middle of the night, I went outside alone to practice horses, do you want the reputation of your daughter's family!? ”

Bai Ling frowned slightly, if Zheng Shu knew that she not only went to train horses tonight, but also went to Baihuaya in men's clothes, it is estimated that she would have been angry by now.

Bai Ling couldn't help laughing, the overly rigid lady in front of her really lacked some sophistry skills. Her logic is always linear, and everything that is outside her rules, she can neither understand nor listen to it, and to some extent, this adds to her rigidity and uninterest.

"It's because I'm not obedient enough that the old lady always wants me to submit a name, otherwise how can I be taboo." Bai Ling said softly, "I guess this is a common method for the old lady, but I'm really not an easy person.

"Since we all hope that Niangniang will get better as soon as possible, I really want to give advice, whether it is the old lady or you, we don't want to kill ourselves in the nest. The old lady should not even think that the whole world will move according to her will, at this age, I am afraid that she will hit a wall in the future, and her dreams will be shattered, and she will not be able to stand it at that time. ”

Zheng Shu couldn't listen to it anymore, she stood up suddenly, "I can't understand a word of what you said!" ”

"Granny Shu doesn't really need to understand," Bai Ling replied immediately, "we don't need to understand each other, just respect each other. ”

Zheng Shu glanced at Bai Ling deeply, "Respect? What exactly is your position in the position? Do you want the old lady to show you respect? ”

Bai Ling pursed her lips, her eyes showed a little regret, looking at the back of Zheng Shu leaving, she suddenly shouted, "Mother-in-law." ”

Zheng Shu stopped, turned around and said, "What?" ”

Bai Ling bowed slightly, "As the saying goes, there are no more than three things, and this is the second time I have discussed this topic with Granny Shu. If there is a next time, I may really have to do something to show the old lady that I am determined. ”

Zheng Shu choked there in one breath, snorted coldly and walked away.

After Zheng Shu left, the entire east side hall was quiet again.

Thinking that Qinglian and the others had been transferred to the main hall to serve since yesterday, Bai Ling felt a little stunned in his heart.

For the two girls, Qinglian and Chulan, this may be the closest they have ever been to power, right? The two sisters were probably still feeling happy, but how could they have known that this was just a trap to hide their eyes.

After the last letter delivery turmoil, she almost confirmed that Rouge had a close relationship with Chu Xiugong, but what if she wanted to take Qinglian and Chulan, the two children who were inexplicably involved?

Early the next morning, Bai Ling got up as usual and went in the direction of Cining Palace.

The monthly trip to Cining Palace, Bai Ling has never been disgusted, because this trip is not tiring at all.

In the past, every time Bai Yi or others said that she was curing the queen mother's heart disease, she had to correct it, and she was not "healing".

In fact, she really didn't.

When she walked into the huge palace courtyard escorted by Fourteen, no one looked up. Today in Cining Palace is still frighteningly quiet, and the eunuchs who have had their tongues cut off are tending to flowers and plants and cleaning fallen leaves in the front yard.

Bai Ling went straight through the courtyard in the middle and quietly stepped into the gate of Cining Palace.

She brought a small packet of new tea from Concubine Qu Guifei today, which was sent by Concubine Ning before, and Bai Ling stayed by her side, waiting to drink it with the Queen Mother today.

The palace maid who had been guarding the door saw Bai Ling's figure, and gently pulled the bell beside her, and the clear bell sounded in the corridor, and Bai Ling heard a very light footstep in the house, which was the palace maids making final preparations to meet her.

No one in the room spoke, Bai Ling couldn't see each of their faces clearly, and the palace maids waiting here were the same as the eunuchs outside, everyone wore silver masks, everyone was about the same shape, everyone was wearing exactly the same clothes, and they couldn't tell who was who.

All the eunuchs are called "Wang Rang", and all the palace maids are called "Xuanji".

The door of the inner room opened, Bai Ling could already smell a wisp of tea, and the old queen mother, wearing a pear-white gown and combing a girl's bun, sat there quietly because she had waited too long, and her old man had already begun to doze off.

Without waiting for Bai Ling's command, the palace maids in the house had consciously lined up in two teams on the left and right, rushing out from both sides of Bai Ling. Bai Ling walked forward slowly and knelt down at the low tea table in front of the Queen Mother.

The water in the stove was already boiling slightly.

Bai Ling heard the sound of water as if it was time, and reached out to lift the lid.

Seeing that the Queen Mother had not woken up yet, she stared at the steps of boiling water on the side, and she had already seen the Queen Mother do it many times. As soon as the water is added to the chacho, it is boiled over high heat, and when there is a slight sound, the lid is removed to observe the age of the water. When the bubbles in the water are as large as crab eyes, and the surface of the water is raised in the microwave, it is the most appropriate time to make tea.

Bai Ling didn't believe this before, because she couldn't taste the difference between the so-called old water and the young water, and only felt that it was probably just a human sense of ritual at work.

At the insistence of the Queen Mother, she designed a double-blind experiment, preparing four bowls of tea brewed with old water and tender water, so that the Queen Mother could taste it later, and the Queen Mother answered which bowl was boiled with what water, and none of them guessed wrong.

This made Bai inspired by the accident at the same time, but also brought a little awe to the knowledge of making tea.

The edge of the water in the tea cho was already like a spring, and Bai Ling removed the water from the stove, and the sound of this action finally made the Queen Mother open her eyes slightly.

"You're here." The Queen Mother's face was a little smiling, and she looked at Bai Ling's movements, "Don't worry about this pot of water, it's already old." ”

"I'm staring at it." Bai Ling said softly, "The sound of the water here is two boiling, it should be"

"But I haven't had time to sift the tea yet."

Although her voice is old, her tone is completely playful that only girls have.

The movement of Bai Ling's hand froze slightly, "Ah, does this difference also affect the taste of tea?" ”

"Of course." The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows slightly, "You help me mourn my family, go and pour this pot of water." ”

"Okay."

Bai Ling carefully picked up two pieces of wet cotton cloth, put them on the edge of Chacho, and walked out with them.

Bai Ling doesn't know how old the Queen Mother is this year, but judging from the age of Emperor Jianxi at sixty-five, she is at least past her old age.

But from the night Bai Ling first saw the Queen Mother, she didn't feel even the slightest breath of belonging to the old man in this old man's body.

Although her movements were slow, her steps were staggering, and her body had inevitably become sluggish due to aging, her expression, her voice, seemed to have stuffed a soul in her twenties into her eighty-year-old body, so that Bai Ling once thought that this queen mother had also crossed over from somewhere.

But after spending more time together, she gave up on this idea.

"This tea is very good," the Queen Mother looked at her curiously after sniffing the tea leaves brought by Bai Ling, "Where did you get it from?" ”

"A few ladies in the palace are new, so I'll take some by the way."

"In half a month it will be my birthday." The Queen Mother smiled and looked at Bai Ling, "The mourning family should take this as a congratulatory gift from you." ”。
