Chapter 252: Plum Wine

"Cousin, these things should be yours!" Xue Ruolan looked at Xie Qing who was sitting above and said indignantly.

Liu Qingluo lowered her eyes and was silent, but her tightly clenched fingers had already revealed her heart at the moment.

"Why did Xie Qing rob her cousin's things, it's obviously your cousin, you like Yun Shizi first......" Xue Ruolan chattered, her face was angry, in her eyes, Xie Qing was a thief, a robber, everything she had now was robbed of Liu Qingluo.

"Enough!" Liu Qingluo finally couldn't help it and whispered.

Xue Ruolan pursed her mouth, for fear that Liu Qingluo would be annoyed with her like before, and said with a pout: "Okay, this is the palace, you can't talk nonsense, Lan'er just don't say it." ”

Thinking in my heart, it's useless to say it, I still have to act on it.

Liu Qingluo slowed down her voice and said: "Sister Lan, my cousin didn't mean to talk about you, it's just that there are many eyes and ears in the palace, and there are people all around at this time, if you say something and are listened to by someone with a heart, I'm afraid it will bring you disaster." ”

"Lan'er understands, cousin, don't worry, Lan'er will pay attention." Xue Ruolan replied obediently.

Liu Qingluo didn't miss the sinister smile on the corner of Xue Ruolan's mouth......

Above, Xie Qing and Yun Jin sat in the Queen Mother's hands, and they were very close to several of the emperor's concubines, one of whom was Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu is five months pregnant, her belly has been pregnant, and the harem has not been added for many years, Emperor Yongqing is very happy about Concubine Liu's baby, and from time to time he cares for Concubine Liu, "But this meal is not the same as the taste of Concubine Ai?" I don't see you moving. ”

Facing Emperor Shangyongqing's caring gaze, Concubine Liu touched her already somewhat round belly, and chuckled: "The meal is very good, but the child in the concubine's belly is stubborn and wants to drink some plum wine." ”

One sentence made Emperor Yongqing laugh: "Is it the emperor's mouth, or the concubine's greed?" ”

Concubine Liu smiled coquettishly: "It's all concubines, Your Majesty, don't laugh at your concubines." ”

I have to say that a woman's proper coquettishness will only make a man feel extraordinarily cute.

Emperor Yongqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Gao Xi, hurry up and prepare plum wine, my emperor wants to drink it." ”

At the palace banquet, Concubine Liu's little coquettishness made Emperor Yongqing Longyan happy, and this scene fell in the eyes of all the concubines, but it was a bit of an eyesore, especially Concubine Ye De.

"Your Majesty, although plum wine is made from plums, and the taste of the wine is not strong, but Concubine Liu is pregnant in the end, which is inevitably a little inappropriate." Concubine Ye Defei jumped out for the first time and said.

Ye Defei's eyes drooped slightly, and her words were faint, how could she be a sour word.

Concubine Liu's face stiffened, and she instantly raised her lips and smiled: "Thank you Sister De for your kindness, it's just that the concubine is greedy, just take a sip." Moreover, this plum wine tastes very good, and has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin, so that the Queen Mother and the sisters in the palace can taste it. ”

and coquettishly to Emperor Yongqing: "Your Majesty, you can promise the concubine, the concubine is really just a small sip." ”

When he spoke, he was still drawing with his hand, and there was really only a small mouthful.

Emperor Yongqing smiled: "Okay, I agreed, but I said okay, I can't drink more." ”

Concubine Liu nodded again and again: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the concubine is also nervous about the child, so I want to taste it." ”

Not long after, a eunuch and palace maid presented plum wine, and Concubine Liu first brought a glass to Concubine Ye De: "Niangniang, this plum wine tastes very good, can you taste it?" ”

The expression on his face was very cautious, as if he was afraid of annoying Concubine Ye De.

Concubine Ye Defei took it with a straight face, she didn't want to take it, but now that the Queen Mother was next to her, she was just reprimanded by the Queen Mother, but she couldn't be reprimanded anymore, she just said lightly: "There is Concubine Lao Liu." ”

"Concubine Liu, sit down, it's not convenient for you to have a big belly, beware of the dragon fetus." Concubine Xie smiled softly.

If Concubine Liu presented it to Concubine Ye De first, and then to Concubine Xie Shu, then Concubine Xie Shu's face would not be able to hang up, wouldn't it mean that she was one level lower than Concubine Ye De.

"Yes, concubine, thank you for your kindness." Concubine Liu said with a smile.

Concubine Liu said to the Queen Mother again: "Queen Mother, this plum wine is the most beautiful, you might as well try it." ”

The Queen Mother shook her head and said with a smile: "The mourning family is old, what kind of face do you have, but Qing'er, you come and taste it." ”

As he spoke, the people of the palace served the wine to Xie Qing.

Xie Qing smiled softly at the Queen Mother: "Qing'er, thank you Queen Mother." ”

This wine was rewarded by her queen mother, Xie Qing must drink it, she picked up the wine glass, first sniffed it carefully, and said with a smile: "The sweet and sour taste of plums is very strong, no wonder Concubine Liu wants to drink it." ”

Concubine Liu smiled: "Lord Jiamin understands this palace. ”

The things in the palace, Xie Qing didn't dare to touch them, she was extremely familiar with poison, and when she sniffed it, she was actually looking to see if it was poisonous, but it was probably because she was overly concerned, and there was nothing wrong with this wine.

Xie Qing took a sip, and then drank all the wine in the cup.

"County Lord, how does this wine taste?" Concubine Liu asked with a smile on her lips.

"I'm really ashamed, Xie Qing doesn't know much about wine, so he can't taste the difference." Xie Qing smiled and said, "But it tastes sweet and sour, but it's delicious." ”

If you are not a person who loves wine, otherwise you can rarely taste the subtle differences, in Xie Qing's opinion, this wine is not much different from other wines.

Concubine Liu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "This palace is the same as the county lord, and there is no difference, but I like the taste of this plum very much." ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "Sour and spicy girl, Concubine Liu likes the sour taste of plums, could it be that she is a prince?" ”

Concubine Liu touched her stomach and said with a smile: "This month is still young, how do you know if it is a prince or a princess, and it is a blessing for a concubine to give birth to a dragon fetus for Your Majesty." ”

Xie Qing shook her head secretly, although Concubine Liu was just a concubine, she was the daughter of the Protector Mansion. I'm afraid it's still a question whether her child can be born, and whether the child in the palace can be raised is also a question. Judging from the current situation, if Concubine Liu gave birth to a princess, it would be a blessing for herself.

But after thinking about it, if Concubine Liu had the intention of climbing up, I am afraid that she herself would like to give birth to a prince.

Suddenly, Xie Qing only felt a chill on her shoulder, and when she looked down, she saw the palace maid next to her pouring wine for her, but accidentally spilled the wine on her clothes.

"The lord of the county forgives the sin, the slave and maid did not mean it." The palace maid hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Xie Qing touched his wet clothes, he had a lot of wine, and he was already soaked, if it was ordinary, it would be fine, but now it is a palace banquet, and it is inevitable that his clothes will be out of order if he gets wet.

The Queen Mother's face sank: "How did you serve!" ”

The palace maid kowtowed again and again: "Ask the queen mother for forgiveness, the slave and maid know the sin, the slave and maid did not mean it, ask for forgiveness after the set." ”

Yun Jin hurriedly brought the cloak and draped it on Xie Qing's body, it was already cool in autumn now, and he was weak, so he always wore the cloak.

Xie Qing pulled the strap of the cloak, and then said softly to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother, I didn't mean to come to this palace maid, and I asked the Queen Mother not to blame her, Qing'er went to change her clothes." ”

It is wrong for the palace maid to wet Xie Qing's clothes, but it is just a trivial matter, if Xie Qing wants to care, it will inevitably fall into the reputation of being a harsh critic.

The Queen Mother's face was slightly gloomy: "If it weren't for the county lord to intercede for you today, the mourning family would definitely punish you!" Don't retreat yet. ”

The palace maid kowtowed again and again to thank her: "Thank you, slave, thank you to the queen mother, thank you to the county lord." ”

"Qing'er, if you bring clothes, go to the side hall to change them." The Queen Mother said.

Xie Qing nodded: "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

When a noble lady in Beijing participates in a palace banquet, she will inevitably prepare a set of clothes in case of emergency, and Xie Qing is no exception, but the clothes are placed on the carriage, Xie Qing told Lingzhi to get it, and she went to the side hall to wait.

The side hall is not far from the main hall, but it is just to pass through the small garden in the middle, and the queen mother instructed a palace maid to lead Xie Qing forward.

The palace maid has a round face, loves to laugh, and looks very cute.

Xie Qing asked, "Are you from the Queen Mother's Palace?" It looks a little familiar, what's your name? ”

The palace maid replied with a smile: "The slave maid is called Xiao Cicada, it is the palace maid of Shoukang Palace, and it is the blessing of Xiao Cicada to make the county lord familiar." ”

Xie Qingwan smiled: "Oh, is it? ”

Xiao Cicada nodded, and said with a smile: "There are many palace maids in Shoukang Palace, and the county lord rarely comes to Shoukang Palace, so that the county lord can have a little impression of the slave's face, but it's not the blessing of the slave." ”

Xie Qing's heart slowed down a little, and she was spilled wine at the palace banquet, then she must have to change her clothes, she wasn't sure if this was deliberately designed by someone, so she was very careful, but at the moment, this little cicada didn't look like she was trying to calculate her.

"As long as you do what you have to do in peace, your blessings will last a long time in the future." Xie Qing said with a smile.

Xiao Cicada nodded: "Yes, yes, the county lord is right." ”

After a short time, Xiao Cicada took Xie Qing to a room in the side hall.

"County Lord, you sit in it for a while, and your maid will be back in a while."

Xie Qing looked around without a trace, and didn't notice anything unusual, but the moment he raised his head and lowered his head, he only felt a little dizzy.

"County Lord, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Cicada looked at Xie Qing, who was shaking his head, and couldn't help asking.

Xie Qing shook her head, she was sure that she was a little dizzy, "Little Cicada, I'm a little dizzy, you help me to lie down on the soft collapse." ”

"Oh, okay." Xiao Cicada hurriedly stepped forward to support Xie Qing and helped her to lie on the soft collapse.

Xiao Cicada looked at Xie Qing's face, and frowned slightly: "County Lord, your face is so red, are you sick?" Or the slave and maid will go and ask the doctor to come? ”

"Don't go!" Xie Qing quickly grabbed the little cicada and said, "I'm not sick, I'm just a little dizzy, you go and pour me a cup of tea." ”

Xiao Cicada nodded again and again: "County Lord, wait a minute, the slave will go." ”

Xie Qing was lying on the soft couch, spinning directly, and his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, as if they were about to close.

"Ahh

A slight muffled sound came, Xie Qing was suddenly startled, and hurriedly shouted: "Little cicada! ”

However, there was no response......
