Chapter 422: The Irony of the Imperial Dining Room
It turned out that Hua Shang had been hiding on the eaves just now, and he heard everything Bei Xiaoqi said, but he just didn't want to come down.
He knew very well what the lady wanted to ask, and he couldn't answer if he didn't want to.
Since the death of the prince, Hua Shang knew that sooner or later he would ask himself about it, Mrs. was alone with a big belly, and it was a critical moment when she was about to give birth, and she was not a person who was good at lying.
"See Madame."
"Hua Shang doesn't have to be polite, hurry up, I have something to ask you." Bei Xiaoqi was very anxious, she was afraid that Cuiyun would come back with the pastries in a while, this Hua was not in a hurry, she was very anxious.
"Madame, if you have anything to say, as long as Hua Shang knows, he will tell the truth."
Hua Shang didn't dare to raise his head, because his heart had already started to beat the drum with trepidation. At noon that day, Bei Xiaoqi had already asked herself once, indicating that she had noticed some things about the prince.
Now in order to keep this lady's belly, the Queen Mother has taken great pains to block the mouths of the people in the palace, if she leaks her mouth at this time, then even if she will not be placed in the capital crime, she will be ashamed of the dead prince.
"I, I still want to ask you about the prince."
Sure enoughβ
"Chen Mo has been gone for more than ten days, and there has been no news during this period. But for some reason, no one around me mentioned his whereabouts, as if I was the only one who found out that he hadn't come back for a long time. β
Bei Xiaoqi began to shed tears as she spoke, and as soon as she shed tears, Hua Shang's heart couldn't hold back.
"Madam, don't cry first, to be honest, it's not that I don't want to reveal the whereabouts of this prince, I really don't know."
Hua Shang said this, and his heart was beating. At this time, if you don't know where the prince is, then who else can know?
"You tell me, Hua Shang, you tell the truth, you say, is he the prince..." Speaking of this, Bei Xiaoqi suddenly paused, and then asked word by word.
"He, yes, is there something wrong?"
Bei Xiaoqi stopped crying and stared at Hua Shang's eyes, trying to catch a trace of movement from it.
"Don't talk nonsense, ma'am. How could he say such a thing, Lord Wang, it's okay! β
Hua Shang began to panic a little, of course, he was not panicked because Bei Xiaoqi said disrespectful words. And it was precisely because Bei Xiaoqi was right that he couldn't talk to Bei Xiaoqi anymore.
"Madame, don't think about it anymore, protect yourself and the child in your belly with peace of mind. Huashang will visit you another day! β
Without waiting for Bei Xiaoqi to speak, Hua Shang jumped on the eaves and left.
Bei Xiaoqi was a little stunned, how could this Hua Shang be like this, as long as Jun Chenmo was mentioned, he kept silent, and even prevaricated himself by looking for other words.
It seems that all my guesses should be eight or nine and ten.
In other words, why hasn't Cuiyun come back from the imperial dining room?
Inside the Imperial Dining Room.
Cuiyun came to the imperial dining room alone with a small lantern.
Because considering that Bei Xiaoqi needed someone to take care of her rest at night, she didn't bring a palace maid out, so she thought about going back as soon as possible by herself, so as not to delay anything.
After arriving at the Imperial Dining Room, Cuiyun asked the master in charge of the Imperial Dining Room for some pastries and carefully loaded them into the box.
"Hey, master, my master wants some of your green pastries, I don't know what she is talking about?"
Cuiyun actually didn't understand what kind of green pastry Bei Xiaoqi wanted to eat just now, she only knew that she was very hungry, so she hurried to the imperial dining room.
"Green pastry?" The master on the other side was a little confused.
There are so many kinds of pastries in this imperial dining room, so many greens, which one do you want?
"I guess, your master. I want to eat lotus leaf cake. β
Well? Where do lotus leaves come from this season? Cuiyun felt that what the master said should not be what he said.
"Ouch, don't you know, this lotus leaf cake is not made of lotus leaves, but the lotus leaves are dried and ground into powder, and kneaded into them when making pastries. Don't worry, this must be what your master said. β
As he spoke, the master filled a full box for Cuiyun and asked her to take it back quickly.
After Cuiyun thanked him, he hurriedly hurried back with the lantern. Before Cuiyun could walk out of the gate of the imperial dining room, he bumped into a body head-on.
"Yo, isn't this the little follower of the widow princess in the Queen Mother's bedroom."
The person who came spoke harshly, Cuiyun looked up, and sure enough, it was the jade concubine.
"Slave maid, see Jade Concubine Niangniang."
"Yo, you can't afford this ceremony. Hongu, I don't want to become a widow so early. Hum! β
Yu Concubine was hungry in the middle of the night, so she took advantage of the moonlight alone to come to the imperial dining room to see if there was anything delicious. If this is seen, it must be a matter of laughing off the big teeth.
"Was the Jade Concubine Niangniang cursing the emperor just now?"
Cuiyun responded unhurriedly.
For the jade concubine, you just can't show your weakness, if you are weak, she will be strong.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about a little maidservant, how can this palace curse the emperor!"
The jade concubine is an explosive that ignites at a moment, and when she was scolded by Cuiyun like this, she suddenly felt very unhappy.
"Bold slave, kneel down for this palace!"
The jade concubine began to be a blessing.
Cuiyun didn't dare to disobey, for fear of causing some trouble, so she had to kneel down first and talk about the rest of the matter.
"Aren't you the attendant next to the widow, what qualifications do you have to hum in front of this palace haha. This palace tells you that in this palace, this palace speaks, and few people dare to talk back! β
Cuiyun clenched her fists fiercely, her nails stuffed into the flesh, but she was still unflustered on the surface.
"Please let Concubine Jade Niangniang calm her anger, it was Cuiyun who was wrong just now, Cuiyun's master is still in a hurry to eat pastries, can Niangniang let Cuiyun go back quickly after the lesson, don't delay.
Cuiyun endured the humiliation and burden, and really didn't want this jade concubine to say more about herself.
As long as she keeps such a humble appearance, she can probably let herself go.
"Jade Concubine Niangniang, the small osmanthus cake you want is ready."
In the imperial dining room, the master couldn't see the jade concubine insulting this girl so much, so he hurriedly greeted and made osmanthus cake, hoping that the jade concubine would leave soon.
"This palace tells you that everything here today, if you go back and chew the root of your tongue, then this palace will abolish your tongue and let you get out of this palace forever."
Scold.
Cuiyun sneered in her heart, although she is helpless now, but this jade concubine is too arrogant and arrogant.
"The slave and the maid know, and the slave and the maid will not say anything when they go back."
"Hmph, just the few goods around the Queen Mother, this palace is not afraid of any of them, wait for two years for the Queen Mother to go west, see how this palace can take such a good breath!"
This jade concubine seems to be drunk tonight, and the words she says are all drunk.
After Cuiyun knelt there and listened, he left as fast as he could.
