Chapter 394: Color Change
Mama Li immediately stopped leaving, stepped forward with a smile to greet Wei Qingqing, and took advantage of the opportunity to bow her head to salute, and quickly glanced at Wei Qingqing's little arm out of the corner of her eye...... With just one glance, her expression suddenly changed!
It's just that Mama Li is the old man in the palace, although she was shocked in her heart, but when she raised her head after the salute, her face was full of smiles, and she couldn't see the slightest difference.
She respectfully relayed Concubine Rui's words, and instructed Wei Qingqing to drink the tonic soup while it was hot, and finally gave a salute to retire.
As soon as Mama Li came out of Izumo's house, she immediately became in a hurry, and almost trotted all the way back to the courtyard where Concubine Rui lived!
She hurriedly found Concubine Rui, and couldn't wait to lean over and whisper in her ear, "Concubine, the old slave has something to ......."
Concubine Rui was originally carelessly pruning the pot of begonia flowers on the windowsill, and her face also changed greatly after listening to Mama Li's words, "Really? You're not mistaken, are you? ”
Mama Li said with a solemn face and a solemn tone: "The old slave didn't tell the concubine because he was afraid of making a mistake earlier, but the old slave had already checked it in person before, and the princess ......."
Concubine Rui looked very excited after listening to Mama Li's words, "You can send someone to check carefully!" You can't be mistaken! ”
Mama Li quickly took the order and left, and Concubine Rui looked at Xiangfeizhu outside the window in a daze, her face was painful for a while, and her face was full of excitement for a while, and her expression gradually returned to calm after several changes.
"Could it be true?" Concubine Rui whispered softly.
In the next few days, as soon as Mama Li came to Concubine Rui on an errand, Concubine Rui's eyes became both expectant and scared when she looked at her!
Concubine Rui was looking forward to Mama Li finding out the truth of the matter as soon as possible, but she was afraid that the truth would make her miserable, and she was very conflicted for a few days!
On this day, the people sent out by Mama Li finally had a message.
She came to report to Concubine Rui as soon as possible, "Returning to Concubine Rui, the matter has been clarified......
Concubine Rui carefully listened to every word that Mama Li said, and the whole person was extremely excited for a while, and her face was painful for a while, and all kinds of emotions finally turned into a mutter, "I didn't expect this to happen...... How good is that! ”
Mama Li's face was also very heavy, "The old slave didn't expect things to be like this...... Alas! ”
Concubine Rui closed her eyes slightly and leaned on the big pillow, and was silent for a long time before speaking again, "I want to go to the ancestral hall to offer incense to the old prince." ”
"The old slave will go with you." As she spoke, Mama Li waited for Concubine Rui to get up and change her clothes, and the master and servant quickly went to the ancestral hall where the ancestors of the Ming family were enshrined.
Concubine Rui knelt in the ancestral hall all night, and only got up to leave at dawn.
Standing on the bluestone steps in front of the ancestral hall, he looked up slightly at the rising star in the sky, and his expression gradually became firm......
Mama Li looked at Concubine Rui with a worried face, "Have you figured out how to do it?" ”
Concubine Rui slowly withdrew her gaze, her voice low and powerful, "Well, I've thought about it." ”
She paused as she spoke, then turned to look into the depths of the ancestral hall, "May the old prince bless me with the knowledge of the underground, and I can make my wish come true!" ”
Concubine Rui already had a plan in her heart, and quickly put away her depressed mood, and instructed Mama Li with a calm face: "In a few days it will be the death day of the old prince, you have to prepare well!" ”
"Every year a few days before and after the old prince's death day, Ye'er is afraid that I will be sad and will come to accompany me more, you let the kitchen prepare some of his favorite wine and food these days, don't let him leave his daughter-in-law to accompany me, a widowed person who has not been able to eat well!" Concubine Rui instructed again.
"And the Chi family, you also send someone to take a trip, the last time it made things too stiff, I'm afraid that Ning'er will still find a short-term ......"
Mama Li responded one by one, and after sending Concubine Rui back to the house to rest, she went to prepare.
Two days later, Ming Ye, who had only invited An Shi to come to order since he got married, really left Wei Qingqing to accompany Concubine Rui for lunch.
While asking the small kitchen to add a few more dishes, Concubine Rui smiled and joked to Ming Ye, "What?" Are you willing to leave your daughter-in-law to see your aunt? I'm afraid I asked your daughter-in-law for leave early, right? ”
Ming Ye pretended not to understand the ridicule in Concubine Rui's words, and his face did not change and he sandwiched a piece of smoked duck breast for Concubine Rui, "Auntie, have you forgotten that you have taught me since I was a child that 'food is silent and sleep is silent'?" ”
The implication is that Concubine Rui doesn't eat well and talks too much!
Concubine Rui picked up the piece of smoked duck breast in the bowl, and her expression suddenly fell a little silent, "Your father also loved to eat smoked duck when he was alive, and he often brought back the smoked duck from Zhiwei Zhai, saying that he bought it for me to eat, but he had to grab the duck leg with me every time, and now I hope he can still compete with me......"
When Ming Ye heard this, he knew that his mother was thinking of his deceased father, and while giving the smoked duck leg on the plate to Concubine Rui, he said in a rare warm voice: "Although Daddy is gone, but you still have me, I will also buy you the smoked duck of Zhiwei Zhai, and I will not grab the duck leg with you." ”
Rui Taifei: "......"
I'm not going to grab a duck leg with you......
She felt that her son's way of comforting people was really different!
At this time, Mama Li brought up the two pots of warm wine, "This is the princess's favorite sake and the princess's favorite Huadiao, you can accompany the princess to drink two glasses!" ”
Ming Ye knew that every year a few days before and after his father's death, his mother was drunk and could sleep better at night, otherwise he would probably lose sleep until dawn.
He quickly poured wine for himself and Concubine Rui, and raised his glass to invite Concubine Rui to drink together, "Mother, I'll do it first as a respect." ”
Concubine Rui saw that Ming Ye drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and also picked up the celadon cup and drank her cup of sake.
As soon as the wine glass was empty, Mama Li stepped forward to fill it for the two of them.
Ming Ye's usual way of accompanying and comforting his mother was to drink with her cup after cup, and this year was no exception, and this year he drank too much without paying attention, and in the end, he faintly felt a little dizzy and drowsy.
Concubine Rui saw that he was a little drunk, so she persuaded him to stop first, "Okay, okay, you don't have to drink with me, go to the warm pavilion to rest for a while, and then go back when the wine wakes up, so as not to smoke Qingqing!" ”
Ming Ye remembered that Wei Qingqing really didn't like him to get drunk, and she wouldn't let him get close to him as soon as the smell of wine on his body was strong, so he listened to Concubine Rui's words and was helped by Mama Li to go to the warm pavilion to rest, and fell asleep after a while.
Ming Ye had just fallen asleep when someone lightly pushed open the door of the Warm Pavilion and entered the Warm Pavilion in a flash.
The visitor wore a moon-white jacket and a light pink pleated skirt, and the flower butterflies embroidered with gold thread on the skirt seemed to shine in the sun, making the small warm pavilion seem to be full of spring for a while.
The man walked lightly to the carved floor cover, and looked at Ming Ye lying on the soft couch with his face in a daze, with a faint hint of expectation and excitement in his expression!
