Chapter 19: Woe (1)
After the inner eunuchs took the Shao family back to the harem and placed it properly, they came back to make a mess of the Wei Mansion and showed Wei Qingguan, who was sitting in front of the rhombic mirror to make up.
Fingertips slid over the soft fine hair, Wei Qingguan only tugged at his mouth slightly when he heard this, and he wanted to know what the Wei Mansion would be like at the moment, but now Wei Qingguan couldn't raise the energy to take care of the affairs in the Wei Mansion anymore.
What Wei Qingcheng said hit her hard, and she didn't regret it when her anger stirred up the Wei Mansion, but Wei Qingguan was always resentful about the mastermind who couldn't figure out the one who wanted to kill the original body in the first place.
Those damn people who can talk are dead, and Wei Chengcheng is just an outsider with selfish intentions after all.
What exactly is the question of how to get the murderer to show the fox's tail is the biggest problem!
There are only these few people in this palace, Concubine Min has a son, Concubine Xian wants power, as for Concubine Ying? Wei Qingguan put a question mark in his heart, and he had the impression that this Concubine Ying was also an indisputable, whether it was for the original body or the current self, she had never been mean to herself, and she had always been respectful.
Concubine Ying has a daughter but never comes out, she has always lived in a simple place, her father and brother are both in the hands of Dongfang Chen, and she can be said to be the daughter of a heavy minister, and the real power in the hands of her father and brother is much more weighty than the vacant position of Concubine Xian's father. But she is very low-key, and Dongfang Chen also respects her very much, and she can't stand out and wait and see for a while.
As for the other two Xian Concubine and Concubine Min, they have become her key suspects at the moment, but there is no evidence Wei Qingguan doesn't want to startle the snake, so now he can only stand still, and when he doesn't come up with a perfect plan, the matter of finding the murderer can only be put aside first.
Fortunately, Wei Qingguan is not a person who likes to drill the horns of the bull, and he is not entangled in these things between weighing and thinking.
The affairs of the draft and the harem are still handled by the three concubines, while Wei Qingguan lives his own small life in the Yongning Palace, cultivating a relationship with Dongfang Chen from time to time, and playing a little temper and living happily.
Time flies very quickly, and before I know it, it has reached the end of March and the beginning of April. The gardeners in the Imperial Garden take good care of the inside and you can smell all kinds of aromas in the air, which is very pleasant.
At that time, the little prince Dongfang Yan had been more than three months, and the nurses and mothers took care of him very well, and he was already a little fart who could be amused to giggle and drool.
Wei Qingguan saw that the weather was fine during this time, and thought that he was fortunate enough to have nothing to do in the palace, so he would find something to do. Jiang Hai of the Internal Affairs Office was summoned to give him an order, and the internal affairs drew a few people to knock and beat in ten days, and he really made the bubble water that Wei Qingguan wanted, and Wei Qingguan was in a good mood.
Taking advantage of the warm breeze blowing in the sun today, Wei Qingguan was in a good mood, and suddenly excitedly took bubble water like a half-grown child and teased Dongfang Yan, who was giggling there after eating.
Under the sun, Wei Qingguan was dressed in an apricot-colored Suzhou embroidered full-breasted skirt, the skirt was embroidered with blossoms and plums, delicate and elegant, and her long hair was simply pulled up from her temples and a few strands of hair fell between her eyebrows, like a little girl Yunying who was not married.
She played with all her heart, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her delicate cheeks were dyed with a layer of pink, like a freshly ripe peach. The bubbles blown out by Wei Qingguan under the sun shone with colorful light, and Dongfang Yan saw that he was happily waving his little fat hand and giggling.
Wei Qingguan, who was playing on the head, didn't notice the two tall figures at the palace gate, one was in the wind and the other was heroic.
Dongfang Chen, who was dressed in moon-white homely brocade clothes and tied with a jade crown and hair, looked at the woman who was laughing not far away with doting eyes, and the corners of his lips rose. And Su Hao, who was dressed in an ink-colored power suit, frowned slightly, looking at the unadorned and presumptuous woman, with an indescribable look on her face.
It seems that every time I see this woman, she is not the kind of motherly world she knows, or the state of everyone's beauty.
"The slave and maid greet the emperor."
Banxia's respectful invitation to An Sheng broke the original joyful atmosphere, and everyone looked at Wei Qingguan with a sound of surprise, and then they were busy bowing down to say goodbye, but when Wei Qingguan came back to his senses, he smiled on his hot cheeks, "Didn't the emperor say that he didn't come today, why did he stand at the door silently and frighten such a group of people." ”
I didn't see her say goodbye, just put down the bubble water in her hand, and naturally stepped forward and directly took Dongfang Chen's hand, her eyes were full of joy, but her mouth was disgusted, like an ordinary couple.
The people of Yongning Hall were not surprised by this, and after getting up to take care of themselves, they started their own business. But Su Hao saw it for the first time, compared to Wei Qingguan, who was the image of a shrew last time, he was even more shocked at this moment, and he couldn't hold his jaw.
"General Su just came back from the border pass, I originally wanted to go to Concubine Ying with him and let them talk about brother and sisterhood, but I didn't think that Concubine Ying was not feeling good today, so I will bring the general here for a meal."
When Su Hao was still surprised, Dongfang Chen, who was already accustomed to finding a square handkerchief from his sleeve, carefully wiped the thin sweat on his forehead for the smiling bright woman, and his skillful movements once again surprised the cold-faced Su Hao.
Hearing this, Wei Qingguan smiled and looked at Su Hao, who was pretending to be deep on the side, and said lightly, "Congratulations to the general on his triumphant return, now the border is peaceful, and the people are not living in fear, this palace thank you for those people." ”
On the same day, Su Hao rushed to the border soon after entering the palace, found a reliable person and started a plan to separate. After a while, the two tribes of Half Moon Shentu and Xiya fell into the trap, and the two tribes killed each other's men and horses to watch.
When they reacted, Su Hao sent troops to suppress it, and then Su Hao did it without spending a single soldier, and Dongfang Chen gave this year's grain.
Speaking of which, Su Hao is indeed a general, brave and resourceful, and also a straight temper, compared to those ministers who are twisted in the stomach above the court, no wonder Dongfang Chen is so friendly with him.
"Speaking of which, I still have to thank Niangniang for that story, otherwise everything wouldn't have gone so well." It is rare to see Wei Qingguan speaking seriously, Su Hao bowed in return, there was heartfelt thanks in this sentence, and there was also a little admiration for her.
After a while of greetings between the two, Banxia and Bang Chun had already put lunch on the table. Originally, Dongfang Chen said that he would not come for lunch, but Wei Qingguan thought it would be simpler, so he only asked the small kitchen to make some noodles and prepare a few side dishes, and did not prepare other dishes.
"I'm sorry, the general came back in the dust, today is considered a snub to the general, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely set a table for the general." Wei Qingguan smiled lightly, sat down with clean hands, and said.
"It's okay, it's much better than the food at the border, these can be regarded as delicious foods." Su Hao was not polite, and said very boldly.
After taking a seat, Dongfang Chen smiled lightly, "I don't know, I don't come to you to eat, you eat so lightly?" Not enough money for a month? ”
"Yes, the emperor eats and lives here every day, and I only receive the monthly rules of myself and Yan'er here, but I can't get in and out, tell me how the silver is enough, so when the emperor doesn't come, don't you just eat some porridge and side dishes!" Wei Qingguan nodded his head in a hurry, and as soon as the words fell, the people in the Yongning Hall couldn't hide their laughter more and more.
"Narrow ghost, you are becoming more and more lawless!" Dongfang Chen raised his lips, stretched out his slender fingertips and flicked them on Wei Qingguan's forehead, Wei Qingguan glanced at him painfully, and then ate the noodles in his hand, and the small movements of the two of them all showed their sincerity.
The noodles are just the noodles rolled by the master of the small kitchen himself, but the soup used to make the toppings is not an ordinary noodle soup, the thick white bone broth is boiled with spring bamboo shoots and skin belly soaked in the soup, and then garnished with a few tender green vegetables, the soup is rich, the color is bright, crisp and delicious. Dongfang Chen rarely had a great appetite, and he didn't eat half a bowl in a short time. And Su Hao, who has always been straightforward on the side, was also unceremoniously, and after a while, the noodles in the bowls of the two of them bottomed out.
"Your chef in this small kitchen is getting better and better, you should be rewarded!" After rinsing his mouth after eating enough, he insisted on a cup of Longjing before the rain and said to Wei Qingguan, who was still eating noodles slowly.
Wei Qingguan heard the sound, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and looked at Dongfang Chen with both hands on his cheeks full of anticipation, "I don't know how the emperor plans to reward his concubines?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the two men were surprised at the same time, and Banxia covered his lips and smiled slightly and said, "The emperor is on the side again, this is the master who went to the small kitchen in the morning and opened it to the cook according to the list, and the cook made it." "The chefs in the palace are used to cooking flashy dishes, if they want to make such a farmhouse noodle soup, they really can't make that kind of original taste, Wei Qingguan originally let them make it a few times, but every time they didn't have the right appetite, fortunately the dishes were composed, and under some guidance, there was a taste of today, and Banxia's words made the look on Wei Qingguan's face on the side more and more proud.
"I didn't know that Niangniang still had this ability, Weichen admired!" Without waiting for Dongfang Chen to speak, Su Hao spoke first, and his words were full of appreciation.
"It's easy to say, this bowl of noodles should be regarded as an apology to the general, and a helpless Wei Yiming was forced to give the general, and the general also had a lot of worries."
Wei Qingguan smiled lightly, Wei Yiming was sent to the border and let her block all the news, Wei Jiang's family couldn't inquire about any situation in the Wei Mansion A serious illness, and Wei Yiming was told by himself, and he also suffered a lot at the border pass, but unfortunately he was used to doing it since he was a child, and he didn't grow up at all, and now he is only a firefighter in the Huotou Army, and he doesn't want to make progress all day long and wants to use his identity to suppress people, but after being rewarded with a few military sticks, he has learned a lot, and now he can only live a life of resignation.
Knowing what Wei Qingguan was referring to, Su Hao was not polite, but just paid tribute to Wei Qingguan with tea instead of wine, and Wei Qingguan said to Dongfang Chen again, "Your Majesty, what is the reward, can you think about it?" ”
"Did you think about what you wanted, just waiting for me to fall for you?" Dongfang Chen didn't say it directly, with a shallow smile on his lips, he said lightly.
"The emperor didn't say that the concubine was so accidental, obviously you said that you wanted to reward the cook, and now the cook is sitting in front of you, but you still say that the concubine calculates you, and if you regret it, you will regret it, anyway, no one will say that you are stingy." Wei Qingguan's unpretentious voice provoked Dongfang Chen to chuckle again and again.
"You, I'm getting more and more out of control of you now." The man stretched out his hand and touched the woman's forehead again and again, and he couldn't stop talking.
"What do you want?"
"Three wishes! In the future, if the concubine asks for something, the emperor must agree. Wei Qingguan pondered for a moment, and then said to Dongfang Chen seriously.
