Chapter 37: The Queen Mother's Investigation (II)
"The queen mother doesn't seem to agree with what her son said yesterday?" Zhao Fu asked lightly, he had long expected such a question.
"No, this He Lan is different from what the mourning family knows." Shan Yu Caitian hurriedly explained, perhaps because he felt ashamed of Zhao Fuqing, so his voice was extremely soft.
"Queen Mother, you said that you and He Lan's father used to be playmates?" Zhao Fuqing thought for a while and asked.
"Yes."
"Has the queen mother ever seen He Lan before?" Zhao Fuqing asked again.
"I've seen it, that was when He Lan's little girl was just born, and it can also be said that it has been more than ten years." Shan Yu Caitian replied.
"The eighteenth year of the female college has changed, and there are many things to do after the mother, how can you remember what she was like before?" Zhao Fu Qing's heart also relaxed, if he had only seen He Lan who was about ten years old in Caitian, he would not be safe, but what about a newborn child.
"That's too." Shan Yu Caitian chuckled, and then asked, "Qing'er, can you call the queen mother?" You once called the queen mother together with your royal brother. ”
"Queen Mother, that's a thing of the past, the royal brother is already the emperor, and the sons can no longer call him the eldest brother, so the sons and daughters respect you." Zhao Fu said lightly, "If it is spread by outsiders, it will be said that the sons and daughters do not respect the queen mother, and then the imperial brother will find the sons and daughters for this." ”
"That's too." Shan Yu Caitian can say that he can't speak at this time except for drinking tea, after all, the identity is different, the status is different, and the natural requirements can no longer be the same as before.
Zhao Fuqing saw that Shan Yu Caitian was drinking tea, and he was also drinking, at this moment, Lin Qingquan came over lightly and asked at the door, "Queen Mother, Qing Wangye, Deputy Chief He heard that the two of them were tasting tea, and specially asked Weichen to bring you desserts, saying that drinking tea and eating desserts is the best life." ”
"Would you like to taste it?" Zhao Fu smiled and then asked.
"Okay, bring it up." Shan Yu Caitian had never heard of it, so he asked people to bring it over, and when it was brought in, he saw six small things in each of the two small plates.
"What's that name?" Shan Yu Caitian asked.
"Back to Niangniang, Deputy Chief He said that it was called a cake, which was made of eggs, and said......" Lin Qingquan seemed to be about to say, but was stopped by Zhao Fuqing, "Okay, the queen mother only asked what your name was, and didn't ask how to do it." Besides, the queen mother is the queen of the first emperor, and she doesn't have to think about doing this, so what do you do in such detail? ”
"Yes, it's Weichen's fault." Lin Qingquan realized that he was talking too much, and hurriedly admitted his mistake.
"It doesn't matter." As soon as Yu Caitian waved her hand, she asked Lin Qingquan to withdraw, and she picked up a piece of cake with her hand and took a bite gently, "It's really fragrant, and it goes well with this green tea." ”
"Queen Mother, what do you think of He Lan?" After Zhao Fuqing took a bite, he also nodded with great satisfaction, and then asked.
"It's good to make meals, it's just too ...... Courageous. If it hadn't been for the emperor's presence yesterday, maybe she would have been ...... a long time ago."
"The queen mother, Erchen thinks that it is because she took the medicine that she lost her original character, but has the queen mother found that since He Lan appeared, is it that the queen mother's meals are much earlier, and there will be no waste of ingredients?" Zhao Fuqing reminded kindly.
"That's right." Shan Yu Caitian nodded, it was true that he had eaten dozens of dishes by himself in the past, but the rest of the dishes could not be eaten, and they were either thrown away as garbage or dumped for other animals to eat, which was very wasteful.
"That'...... What else is there for the queen mother to worry about? Zhao Fuqing asked again.
"None." After eating the cake and drinking the tea, Shan Yu Caitian said goodbye and left.
"The son sends off the queen mother." Zhao Fuqing bent down to see off the Queen Mother.
"Lord Qing, don't you want He Lan?" Lin Qingquan asked softly after the Queen Mother walked away.
"Not for the time being, let's talk about it later. The Queen Mother is suspicious, otherwise how can she come to this king? Zhao Fuqing looked at the figure of the Queen Mother and said in a low voice.
"Yes!"
"Mother, are you back?" Mama Zhu also happened to come back.
"How's the inquiry?" As soon as Yu Caitian entered the room, he sat on a chair, and Yahuan first massaged himself, and then asked.
"Stand down." Mama Zhu called.
"Yes." All the maids answered one by one, and then saluted and left.
"The old slave has already found out, He Lian is only this girl, Nian Fang is indeed sixteen, but more than three months ago, when he went to participate in the butterfly party, the butterfly mask fell off, but was seen by Zhao Fu, Zhao Fu is an old man who is nearly sixty years old, so he sent a matchmaker to say that he wanted to accept He Lan as the twelfth aunt. As a result, He Lian's family disagreed, after all, at the age of a good age, how could they tolerate her becoming an aunt, so He Lian's family arranged for Yahuan to let He Lan escape. Unexpectedly......" At this point, Mama Zhu stopped.
"What's wrong?" When Shan Yu Caitian heard this, he couldn't help but tighten up, and hurriedly asked.
He Lian never expected that Yahuan would receive money from Zhao Fu's person, and said that as long as she could make He Lan become the twelfth aunt, she could become a concubine, so Xiao Yahuan betrayed her master and notified Zhao Fu, and as a result, He Lian's family died tragically in the hands of Zhao Fu. When He Lan learned of this, she came back, holding a dagger in her hand, and was about to have the idea of dying together, but she was injured by Zhao Fu's men and fed her a poison, and this poison is said to make He Lan forget the past and only let her remember herself. ”
"After tying her up in the house for a few days and nights, He Lan woke up, and the two people who took care of and monitored He Lan told the old slave brother that He Lan became extremely witty when he woke up, and he didn't cry or make trouble, and he couldn't say it, but they could guarantee that He Lan was still He Lan, and no one had changed it, and as for why they could cook, they didn't understand, so they could only regard the effect as medicine."
After listening to Mama Zhu's narration, I recalled Zhao Fuqing's previous story, it was he who accidentally smelled the smell of rice at Zhao Fu's side, so he asked Xiao Linzi to check it, and later out of sympathy, he rescued He Lan back, it seems that this is no different from what Zhao Fuqing said.
"It seems that it is indeed the effect of the medicine. Mama Zhu, can you see the relationship between He Lan and the Qing prince? After making a summary, Shan Yu Caitian asked again.
The old slave didn't dare to guarantee it, but looking at He Lan's innocent appearance, he didn't feel that she would have anything to do with the Qing prince...... However, judging from the slave maid, the emperor seems to have a little intention of He Lan. Because when the old slave was going out just now, he saw the maid ring next to the queen whispering that the queen was innocently eating crimson vinegar, and even beat the maid ring one by one, and even her nurse was rewarded with a slap. ”
"Hey, Qi Lingzhi is a vinegar vat, a little bit bad, just think about it. If it weren't for her mother being the benefactor of the Mourning family, the Mourning family would not have let a girl become a queen, after all, she was not as good as another concubine, and she was truly virtuous and generous. Shan Yu Caitian couldn't help but shake his head.
"Then do you want to let the old slave go to ...... in the name of the mother?"
"No need, you can step back and let the mourning family think about it for themselves, after all, this matter is too sudden, and for a while, I don't dare to take it easy."
"Yes." Seeing that the Queen Mother's face was a little unpleasant, Mama Zhu didn't say anything more, so she left obediently, and when she left, she closed the door smoothly.
He Lan, if you really want her to marry, then she can only marry her own son, which can ensure her safety, is it Zhao Sheng Rong or Zhao Changde? Shan Yu Caitian fell into thinking again.
And He Lan didn't know that he had been talked about a few times, but he was very happy to play with people and fight the landlord in the imperial dining room.
"Sister, you won again, don't you know what to let me?" Kiping's dissatisfied voice came.
"Hey, I said Mu Ping, playing chess without saying a word is a true gentleman, playing cards without regrets is a real man, how to get the card back, do you want to be a man? If you don't want to do it, take it back. Besides, although this is not a battlefield, but the brand is also a battlefield, just like if you go to war, you shoot a shot, will you still shrink back? Naturally I won't ......" He Lan's words are really continuous, and he actually treats playing cards as a war, which is really eye-opening for everyone.
"You see, my sister, as a woman, will not get it back even if she makes a mistake, because my sister knows that once this card comes out, it can't be taken back. If you think you're not a man but a woman, you can take it back, then don't play it. ”
Mu Ping was told by He Lan that he naturally didn't dare to take it back, so he had to continue playing.
"He Lan, how did you make that cake?" Liu Feiping asked suddenly.
"It's as simple as that. Beat the eggs, then sift the flour, then mix with the egg liquid, then add the sweet juice, stir well again, and then put it in a small bowl and steam it on the fire. If there was an electric whisk, it would be better, but unfortunately, there is no one here. He Lan blurted out, and as soon as she finished speaking, she realized her mistake again, stuck out her tongue, and said with a smile, "I'm talking in a dream, there is such a thing in a dream." ”
"I said I've never heard of any whisks, so where would there be any electric whisks." "He Lan, are you too happy to have a mansion and fall into a dream for a while?" "He Lan, what does your so-called 'Oneiroiroi' look like? I've heard that Miss Feng'er is very good at drawing, so it's better to let her draw it. ”
The crowd first argued, and then when someone brought up the Oneiroi, they immediately said that they wanted to meet the Oneiroi.
"This ......" He Lan thought for a while and smiled, "Oneiroi said that he is just an illusory figure, only I see it in my dreams, and it is relatively vague, it can be said that he is more invisible, or he doesn't want to see you at all, so I don't want everyone to know, therefore, even if I want Feng'er to paint, I can't describe what he looks like, I can't describe it, and I can't draw it." ”
"Oh, if I were you, I would have asked Oneiroi to appear in reality." "It's a bit of a pity."
Mu Ping put down the playing cards, tugged at He Lan's clothes, and asked, "Sister, the next time you dream of Oneiroi again, introduce me to me, okay?" ”
He Lan was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "Okay, at that time, my sister will let you know." She naturally knew that this would not happen, after all, it was just a person she was talking about, how could such a person appear.
"Sister, what a good sister." Kihei smiled, a satisfied expression.
"Mu Ping, if you see Oneiroi, don't forget to tell Sister Feng'er, Sister Feng'er will draw it for you." Feng'er also smiled, she could see that He Lan was talking nonsense, but she didn't say much, after all, He Lan's personality is too different from herself, a real lady will not do these things at all, and He Lan has no such thoughts, but thinks about others everywhere, so this is also the reason why He Lan is popular with everyone, so she will not reveal it, after all, it was He Lan who saved herself.
Huo Sihui was on the side, extremely unconvinced, but because he was demoted, no one respected him, or he was affected by He Lan, and they ignored him a little.
