Chapter 136: Eating Ice
Li Qingmu wants to be a protΓ©gΓ© for two purposes, one is to prepare medicine to remove the scar on her forehead, and the other is that she doesn't want to get pregnant. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]
Although she and Emperor Jianning are not married yet, it will be sooner or later. It's not that she doesn't want to give birth to a son and a half daughter to Emperor Jianning, it's just that she has to wait for the two years of this frightening experience.
Without answering Wen Chongyuan's question, Li Qingmu smiled and said, "This palace thought it would take some time, but I didn't expect you to find it so quickly." β
Wen Chongyuan stroked his lower abdomen, and said with a smile in his eyes, "Since the wizard came to see the concubine and said that the concubine must be a princess in her belly, the emperor will no longer take care of the concubine as before." What follows is someone else's next resort...... Now don't say that Madame Zhaoyue wants a little musk, it is something more vicious, and the concubines can also find out from the palace. β
Li Qingmu snorted in surprise when he heard this, with a slight apology in his tone, "Wen Chongyuan, in the past, the palace let you be promoted to the position of Chongyuan as soon as possible because I didn't want to see you angry again, but I didn't expect that now this high position has become a reason for them to attack you." If you were still a beauty, they wouldn't be so jealous......"
"Lady Zhaoyue doesn't have to mind." Wen Chongyuan smiled at Li Qingmu, "If it weren't for Mrs. Zhaoyue mentioning a few words to the concubine that day, the concubine would have died of depression because of the child in her belly." Now that the concubine knows that she is a princess in her womb, there is no reason to be afraid. The concubine will protect her and give birth safely, and then trample under the feet of the people who bully our mother and daughter......"
In the end, Wen Chongyuan's eyes were already showing murderous intent.
Li Qingmu looked at Wen Chongyuan, sighed lightly, and said, "Right now, your month is already deep, and it is a dangerous time." You must be careful......"
"The concubine knows it." Wen Chongyuan smiled at Li Qingmu, as if she was saying to Li Qingmu, and seemed to have made a decision for herself, "Mrs. Zhaoyue, the concubine will definitely protect her child's ......"
While talking, Mama Ji was already walking from outside with a little palace maid with tea and pastries.
Li Qingmu glanced at it, and said to Wen Chongyuan, "You should go back to the palace quickly......
Wen Chongyuan stood up, looked at Mama Ji and sighed, and said, "The concubine has a body, and there are dozens of palace maids on her side, but they can't withstand a Mama Ji on Mrs. Zhaoyue's side......"
Li Qingmu smiled bitterly when he heard this, and pinned his head to the side.
No matter how many palace maids and grandmothers Wen Chongyuan has, at least a few of them are loyal servants who have been waiting for her for many years. Unlike herself, except for picking incense, the rest of the palace maids brought over were useless, and they were all held to death by Mama Ji.
Cai Xiang folded a few peonies from the flower garden on the side of the road and put them on the flower pavilion, put them on Li Qingmu's side, and asked without words, "Princess, what flowers do you like?" β
"Like?" Li Qingmu picked up a peony, looked at the dew traces left on the gorgeous petals, and said with a smile, "I don't know what flowers I like......
There are as many as 100 kinds of flowers in the imperial garden of the Dashun harem, and I look at it every day, and I am tired of seeing it every day. What's there to say about liking or disliking?
Mama Ji commanded the little palace maid to put the tea and pastries on the table, and said with a smile, "A fragrant peony, Mrs. Zhaoyue's national color and natural fragrance, the most worthy of this peony......"
Li Qingmu compared the peony in his hand to his ear, and said to Mama Ji with wide eyes, "So? β
Mama Ji was amused by Li Qingmu's occasionally naughty appearance, and praised, "In such a comparison, that peony is not worthy of Mrs. Zhaoyue." β
Cai Xiang said in a humble voice on the side, "I haven't seen Mama Ji talk much on weekdays, why is it better to say this today than the drama?" β
Mama Ji was not annoyed, and smiled at Cai Xiang, "I'm just telling the truth......
Li Qingmu put down the peony and picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it lightly. After the warm tea slid into his throat, Li Qingmu frowned and said, "On such a hot day, drinking such tea is really going to get a heat stroke......
Mama Ji hurriedly took a fan painted with maple leaves from the little palace maid's hand, stepped forward and fanned the tea, and said, "It's the slave's negligence, the slave only thought that Mrs. Zhaoyue was thirsty, and didn't think that the tea was still hot." β
Mama Ji was not negligent, but she just wanted to come back earlier to spy on Li Qingmu and Wen Chongyuan.
"I don't blame you." Li Qingmu himself also fanned the wind with a group fan, and said with a smile, "It's the palace that is anxious." Mama Ji, this palace remembers that there is ice in the palace, is there anything else? β
"Something else." Mama Ji replied, "Mrs. Zhaoyue's share of today's case was sent early in the morning. β
Due to the hot climate and short winters of Otsuki, ice has become a rare item. In the entire palace, only the concubines above the third rank have ice.
The daily ice is delivered in the morning and packed in a special ice box, saving enough water for a day's ice.
If it's gone, it's gone.
"Mama Ji......" Li Qingmu raised her eyes and asked, "Do you know where this ice came from?" β
"This ......" Mama Ji frowned and thought for a moment, then shook her head and smiled, "This slave doesn't know." β
Li Qingmu licked his lips, and after struggling in his heart for a long time, he said, "Let's go, go back to the palace, this palace will think of eating the same." β
Li Qingmu remembered the fruit ice she ate when she was a child, and when it was summer, her mother would use clean ice to make fruit ice for a few of their sisters and brothers.
Sweet and sour, both to quench the heat and quench thirst.
After returning to Fengyang Palace, Li Qingmu took a few palace maids to attack the ice cubes sent by the rough slaves.
Li Qingmu didn't dare to eat the layer of ice outside, so he knocked something down. After smashing the bowl-sized ice cube inside, Li Qing ordered Cai Xiang to sprinkle the fruit cube chopped in advance.
In the stunned eyes of Mama Ji and several palace maids, Li Qingmu picked up the silver spoon and took a bite.
Crushed ice mixed with fruit in the mouth, and the icy and sweet taste immediately made Li Qingmu squint his eyes comfortably.
Cai Xiang has followed the four princesses since she was a child, so naturally she has never seen this kind of thing that Li Qingmu eats. She pulled Li Qingmu's sleeve and said, "Princess, the slave maid heard that after eating ice, there ......will be ice in the stomach."
"Nonsense." Li Qingmu took another bite and said with a smile, "I don't know how much I've eaten since I was a child. β
As he spoke, he handed it to the mouth of the incense picker with a silver spoon.
Cai Xiang looked at the spoonful of ice stretched out in front of her, and avoided it like a beast avoiding a flood.
Seeing Caixiang's frightened look, Li Qingmu hugged the white jade bowl and laughed loudly.
After taking two more bites, Li Qingmu watched the less and less ice stop. Licking her lips, she asked Mama Ji, who was standing beside her, "In the palace, only once a day, do you send ice?" β
Mama Ji stood on the side and watched Li Qingmu eat ice, whether she was persuaded or not. Hearing Li Qingmu ask her like this, she hurriedly replied, "Back to Mrs. Zhaoyue's words, this ice is not easy to come by, except for the emperor and the queen's palace to provide ice twice a day, other palaces only provide ice once a day. If it's gone, it's gone......"
Looking at the ice slag in the enamel basin that had turned into water, Mama Ji showed a little distress on her face, "The ice in Fengyang Hall is out of use today, if you want to use it, you can only wait for tomorrow." Mrs. Zhaoyue, you can just eat this ice once, but you can't ...... it."
Li Qingmu could not listen to Mama Ji's everything, as soon as she waved her hand, she had already asked Cai Xiang to get the food box.
So, in the panic of a group of palace maids, Li Qingmu took the incense picking to Jianzhang Palace.
The good name said: I haven't seen the emperor in this palace for a long time, and I have to be free today, so I went to ask the emperor for peace.
Mama Ji couldn't persuade her, and ran to Guan Ju Palace like a smoke after Li Qingmu left.
Mrs. Zhaoyue doesn't want to die herself, and now she still wants to give the emperor what has not been tested by the imperial doctor, is that not the same as poisoning?
Li Qingmu walked to the door of Jianzhang Palace, and happened to meet Liu Zhaorong coming out of it.
After Liu Zhaorong saw Li Qingmu, he immediately blessed himself.
Li Qingmu swept her eyes and saw that the little palace maid behind Liu Zhaorong was carrying a food box with eight immortals painted across the sea.
Liu Zhaorong also saw the food box in Cai Xiang's hand, smiled at Li Qingmu, and said, "The concubine thought that the emperor was working hard to review the chapter, so she ordered the small kitchen to cook eight-treasure soup and send it to the emperor. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhaoyue was thinking about the emperor in her heart like her concubines......"
"I'm thinking about it." Li Qingmu didn't talk nonsense with Liu Zhaorong, the weather was hot, and she was afraid that the fruit ice in the food box would melt. She smiled at Liu Zhaorong and said, "Since Liu Zhaorong is busy, then go and be busy." β
Liu Zhaorong looked stunned after hearing this, but he still blessed Li Qingmu and left with the palace maid.
When Li Qingmu walked to the door of the Qingxin Palace, Lu Shi had already greeted him with a smile on his face, and after he said hello to Li Qingmu, "Mrs. Zhaoyue, the emperor is waiting for you inside." β
"Hmm." Li Qingmu chuckled, raised his feet and walked towards the Qingxin Palace.
But the incense picking is not moving.
She stood outside the door of the Qingxin Hall and said with a stubborn expression, "Princess, you can go in by yourself, the slave and maid are waiting for you outside." β
Li Qingmu glanced at Cai Xiang and knew what Cai Xiang was thinking, reached out and grabbed the food box in Cai Xiang's hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "If you are timid, what is the use of this palace asking you." β
Cai Xiang raised her eyes and glanced at Li Qingmu, and just wanted to talk back, but when she saw Lu Zhi on one side, she closed her mouth.
Lu Zhi looked stunned on one side, he had never seen such a master-servant relationship model. When Lu Shi came back to his senses, Li Qingmu had already walked into the Qingxin Hall with the food box.
Lu Zhi raised his hand and patted his forehead, and hurriedly followed. -#~Miaobi β₯ β£ Pavilion @ no pop-ups?@++
When Emperor Jianning heard that the palace people were coming to report that Mrs. Zhaoyue was coming, he had already put down the matters in his hand and sat on the bamboo couch in the inner hall and waited.
Seeing Li Qingmu coming in with a food box, Emperor Jianning frowned and asked, "Why did you bring it in by yourself?" What about the minions? β
"Caixiang's temper is getting bigger and bigger," Li Qingmu put the small food box on the carved table in front of Emperor Jianning, and sighed, "I ordered her not to move!" β
"What about Lu Zhi......" Seeing Lu Zhi coming in from outside the door, Emperor Jianning raised his head and asked, "Lu Zhi, your courage is getting bigger and bigger, how can you let Mrs. Zhaoyue ...... herself?"
"Go down...... Li Qingmu turned his head, waved his hand to Lu Shi who was terrified, and said, "It's none of your business here, the emperor doesn't tell you to come in......
Lu Zhi thought that he would be reprimanded by Emperor Jianning, but when he saw Li Qingmu rushing out of him, he already knew that Li Qingmu was protecting him, so he hurriedly bent down and withdrew.
"Mu'er ......" Emperor Jianning reached out and pulled Li Qingmu's left hand, and after taking her into his arms, he said with a smile, "I won't go to see you for a few days, do you miss me?" "Second watch~
