Lan Xin boiled the purple ginseng and black chicken soup with her own hands, prepared a few exquisite side dishes, and led Jinlan and Suo Lan to serve the Queen Mother before eating in Cining Palace. How did she expect that her heart was not unique. And Concubine Hui and Concubine Chun had already gathered by their side early in the morning.

When Yafu saw the queen coming, his smiling eyes narrowed into a thin slit, and Hanchun said: "The queen mother, you are also here, and Cining Palace is really lively today." The slave maid went to inform the slave who passed the meal that there was no need to send meals to the queen mother in the imperial dining room today. ”

Glancing at the exquisite food prepared on the dining table of Jin Feng Lingyun, Lan Xin couldn't help but smile: "Concubine Hui and Concubine Chun really have a heart. It's just that with these prepared by the palace, there are only a dozen dishes, where is the imperial dining room prepared for the queen mother? My aunt doesn't have to send food over, isn't it because she has wronged the queen mother. ”

The Queen Mother walked in with the hand of Concubine Chun and walked in steadily. "How can it be a grievance, there is a queen who personally cooks soup for the mourning family, even if you just look at it, you feel more comfortable."

"The concubine greets the Queen Mother." Lan Xin saw that the Queen Mother was wearing a dark jujube red flag dress, and the continuous piping of the neckline and cuffs were rich peonies, and she couldn't help but be dyed with a hint of spring, and her smile became more and more cute: "The concubine saw that the Queen Mother was full of energy, and her heart was happy, so please take a seat for the Queen Mother and try the craftsmanship of the concubines." ”

Gao Lingxi walked in slowly behind the Queen Mother because of her inconvenience. is not as close as the pure concubine and the queen mother, the smile on her face is respectful and calm, like a beauty on a picture scroll, just right to keep a distance.

After Concubine Chun helped the Queen Mother sit down steadily, Gao Lingxi blessed the queen with her.

Lan Xin smiled gently, and said casually: "Since it is in the Queen Mother's Cining Palace, there is no need to be polite." This palace has the same wish as you, and I always hope to do my filial piety. ”

It is also strange to say that the soup prepared by Su Wanrong is green and red radish meatball soup, while Gao Lingxi prepared the first tribute to enter the palace, and the sweetest green grapes were given to the Queen Mother to taste. Coupled with Lan Xin's ginseng soup, it is very problematic to match these things together.

Ginseng soup can not be eaten with radish, and it is best not to eat with grapes, such a simple truth is that the queen mother understands, even the inner eunuch who serves the queen mother's meal must also understand.

So when the Queen Mother saw the food in front of her, she was a little surprised

Lan Xin hurriedly said: "The concubine is negligent, at this time, spring has passed, and it looks like summer is coming, the ginseng soup may be too hot and dry, I don't know if it fits the queen mother's spleen and stomach." ”

Yafu also made a mistake when he looked at the queen mother, after all, if he drank the queen's soup, he couldn't touch the pure concubine, if he didn't drink the ginseng soup, he could eat a bunch of light green and translucent crystal grapes. But the queen's position is there, how can she eat the concubine's, but she just ignores the queen. After thinking about it, Yafu said with a smile: "The Queen Mother has a light diet on weekdays, and her appetite is low these days, so why don't the slaves and maids make people boil some white porridge to suppress the Queen Mother." ”

The meal is already in front of you, and if you boil porridge at this time, you will inevitably have to put some effort into it. The Queen Mother glanced at Yafu, shook her head slightly, and then said: "The mourning family wants to taste the queen's purple ginseng soup, the emperor once praised the queen's craftsmanship, and the mourning family also wants to see if it is exaggerated or deserved." ”

This was said as if it was extremely funny, and the tone was so relaxed, the Queen Mother seemed to be deliberately joking with the Queen, which eased the atmosphere at that time a lot.

Su Wanrong is also extremely smart, and when she saw the soup sent by the queen, her heart immediately became half cold. She knew that the Queen Mother would inevitably show mercy to the queen, and her situation would be a little more embarrassing. I didn't want the Queen Mother to take care of her face, in front of the queen's soup, the Queen Mother picked up a small piece of Ruyi cake and ate it with relish.

"Aunt Yafu, please take down this green carrot meatball soup." Su Wanrong said with a smile: "The concubine thinks about it, this soup seems to be thicker, and the craftsmanship has not been improved, so please ask the Queen Mother to taste it again next time." ”

Everyone knew what the problem was, but Su Wanrong preferred to blame herself.

Yafu got the permission of the Queen Mother, and respectfully ordered the maid to withdraw, and then said: "The emperor is the most filial, what has the Queen Mother used, every day people come to Cining Palace to inquire, inquire, and personally serve the Queen Mother to eat together every three or five days." The slave and maid looked at it, the queen mother seemed to be plump these days, and her spirit was extraordinarily full. ”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but smile even more: "The emperor finally has a heart for the mourning family, and if this mourning family is satisfied." It is said that the heart is wide and the body is fat, and the blessing of mourning has just begun. ”

Lan Xin saw that the Queen Mother drank a bowl of black chicken soup, and hurriedly and elegantly handed over a bowl: "There is nothing more important than the Queen Mother's phoenix health and well-being." The emperor can always accompany the queen mother, which is also right, but the concubines and other concubines have not always fulfilled their filial piety, and they feel guilty. ”

With a slight wave of her hand, the Queen Mother did not take the jade bowl in the queen's hand. Instead, he glanced at Concubine Hui, who was silent and smiling: "At the age of the mourning family, I have long been accustomed to the bloody wind in the palace. What reassures the mourning family the most is the continuation of the emperor's heirs. When he entered the palace, the noble man had an heir, and the mourning family was looking forward to holding their grandson again, but it was a pity that ......"

Hearing this, Su Wanrong's face sank suddenly: "Xiu Guiren was originally a person in the palace of the concubine, and the concubine failed to take care of it wholeheartedly, which made the queen mother sad, and the concubine was guilty." ”

When Gao Lingxi heard this, he glanced at Concubine Chun with a strong smile. I thought, the queen hasn't blamed herself yet, where would you dare to stop the queen mother with just a concubine. But what worries her even more is what the Queen Mother will say next. Is it because you have high hopes for this "cloth bag" in your belly?

Lan Xin's face was also quite bad, and he was worried: "It is really a sin for the concubine to fail to take care of the palace concubine and the imperial heir carefully. I also hope that the Queen Mother will punish her. ”

"Look at you, how can mourning mean to be punished." Seeing that both of them were blessed and confessed, the Queen Mother couldn't help but signal Yafoo to help the queen up. "The mourning family is just thinking, sometimes the matter of fate really can't be forced. Let's take the mourning family and the emperor as an example, haven't they also experienced a lot of misunderstandings, and finally they can share the warmth.

Whether the palace concubine can give birth to an heir, and whether she can raise it safely, is not something that you can decide. The mourning family just regretted the coldness of the harem and did not want to see the palace concubines suffer. I also hope that Ling Xi can give birth to the emperor's heir safely, in order to fulfill the wish of the mourning family to ask for a grandson. ”

Her heart was a little cold, and Gao Lingxi smiled gently and coquettishly: "The concubine doesn't know whether it is an elder brother or a little princess in her belly, and she is afraid that she will be disappointed by her disappointment." ”

"Huh!" The Queen Mother smiled lightly, and her phoenix eyes were slightly weak: "The mourning family is from the past, and looking at your strong and firm abdomen, you know that it must be a little brother." Even if a little princess is born, there is nothing wrong with it. Isn't it extremely cute for you to see Rubin, and it is also intimate with the queen. ”

Although Lan Xin raised Rubin in Changchun Palace, she was still taken care of by the nurse every day, and led her to Cining Palace from time to time to ask for peace. She rarely thinks about it, after all, the things in the harem have already made her anxious, and she really doesn't have time to pay attention to her daughter who is close by.

So hearing what the Queen Mother said, Lan Xin's cheeks were slightly hot.

Gao Lingxi nodded approvingly: "Rubin is well-behaved and clever, and the most obedient and sensible, the queen's mother is blessed, but it is not something that the concubines can envy." ”

"Everyone has their own blessings, and Concubine Hui really doesn't need to be presumptuous." Su Wanrong's gentle appearance makes people unable to see her thoughts, but just based on her words, anyone can guess her resentment.

Yes, Su Wanrong just doesn't like the flattering Concubine Hui, and she has clearly found out one thing, that is, Mo Sang's true identity. is good, why did the emperor accept such a woman into the palace? With her understanding of the emperor, Su Wanrong has clearly figured out what to do.

So when she learned that Concubine Hui was going to come to Cining Palace to greet the Queen Mother and bring meals, she followed without hesitation. No matter how well it is covered, there are always flaws.

The Queen Mother ate another piece of Ruyi cake, and suddenly remembered something: "A few days ago, the emperor came up to ask the mourning family to say goodbye, and the mourning family saw a piece of Hetian jade hanging on his body. There is nothing special about jade, but the silk thread hanging with jade is very special. It's not like the craftsmanship of the embroiderers of the Zhen Zo Division. I wonder if it's your skill? ”

These words made Lan Xin's heart tighten, and she went up to Wanduanhui: "The queen mother smiled, the concubines are rough, it would be good to rub a deer tail line and make a simple tassel, but I am afraid that it will not be able to enter the eyes of the emperor and the queen mother." ”

Gao Lingxi smiled brightly with her palm, and her white teeth lined her more and more rosy cherry lips: "The concubine has never been a concubine for the emperor, and what the queen mother saw was not the concubine's craftsmanship." ”

"That's Wanrong, you?" The Queen Mother smacked her lips and praised: "The mourning family only knew that you were the daughter of the Jiangnan family in the past, but now I know that you can't help but be beautiful and light, and you are so ingenious." ”

Su Wanrong's face was a little unbearable, she did make a lot of tassels, shoes and socks, and even water clothes for the emperor. But where is the emperor willing to wear it, he can't help but put it down. Thinking about it like this, her nose became sour, but she pretended to be meaningless and said: "Where is the emperor willing to use the things of the concubines, one is too difficult to be too simple and crude, and the other is that the concubines are from small families, and the craftsmanship does not need to be embroidered in the palace." ”

"Oh?" The Queen Mother was a little surprised: "It wasn't the queen who did it, it wasn't Concubine Hui or Wanrong you, who else around the emperor would be so ingenious." Isn't it a concubine? ”

Yafu shook his head lightly, and said worriedly: "How did the Queen Mother forget, Concubine Xian collided with the emperor one after another, and this son has not eased up." How could the emperor be willing to take Concubine Xian's things with him and face them all day long. The slave maid heard that there was a new female official who had entered the palace next to the emperor, and her name was Mo San. Maybe it's her! ”
