The Queen Mother stopped Wanying into her arms and said faintly: "Good boy, it's hard for you." Yan'er has been assertive since she was a child, and she can't pull back ten cows for what she recognizes, and the mourning family only discusses this matter with you, and you hide it from him for the mourning family. When the sedan chair was carried into the palace, he just didn't want to. ”

It turned out that the Queen Mother planned to do so, and Wanying had to admire the Queen Mother's cleverness: If Prince Rong does not marry for the rest of his life, then the two young ladies of Feng Zhou will not be able to marry into the Rongwang Mansion for the rest of their lives, but as long as there is a sedan chair into the Rongwang Mansion, the Queen Mother can stuff the sedan chair of the two young ladies of Feng and Zhou into the Rongwang Mansion. I'm afraid the Queen Mother has already made up her mind, even if she doesn't agree, the Queen Mother will definitely do so. Now that the Queen Mother has opened the golden mouth, her arms can't twist her thighs. The Queen Mother has been talking to herself from beginning to end, and if she doesn't even help the Queen Mother at all, it is really unreasonable. Thinking of this, she nodded and said, "Wanying obeys the orders of the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother was overjoyed, and a smile was full of smiles on her face, as if she had a big deal of relief, she smiled and said, "Let's eat here at the mourning family today, the mourning family let them make their best dishes." ”

It is better to be respectful than to obey, Wanying nodded obediently.

The Queen Mother dragged Wanying to the room between the warm pavilion and the main hall, and there were already palace maids who densely packed a table full of dishes. A grandmother said: "Yesterday, the Queen Mother asked the cook to make a table, and it was delayed a lot, but it made us mothers-in-law make a tooth sacrifice, and it was also a blessing for the girl." ”

Wan Yingying bowed, smiled but did not speak. I thought: I came to Cining Palace for a long time, and everyone was silent, why was this grandmother so loud.

Seeing that Wanying was well-behaved, Mama leaned in front of the Queen Mother and said, "Master, you are still the most blessed, the sixth master begged such a fairy concubine to be the princess, it is really your blessing." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "This is Mama Zhu, the dowry grandmother of the mourning family, she was not even ten years old when she followed the mourning family, and she couldn't speak, just like a stuffy gourd." In the past few decades in the palace, it is like changing his personality, and he can't say enough. ”

I see! No wonder she is so noisy, without forty or fifty years of friendship, Mama Zhu does not dare to speak loudly in front of the Queen Mother. Wanying looked at Mama Zhu in front of her curiously: she was dressed in a brown coarse cotton tire palace dress, which seemed to have faded a little, and the piping at the skirt looked like a new material, which was a little out of place with the washed and faded palace clothes. There is a large string of large and small keys hanging from his waist. If you just look at the appearance and dress, Mama Zhu is also the appearance of a middle-class palace maid, if she doesn't stretch out her white hands, it is possible for people to mistakenly think that she is an inferior palace maid just by virtue of this dress. But when you look at the key hanging from your waist, you know that your status is not simple. In the palace, the key is a symbol of seniority, and only the eunuch and the palace maid in charge will carry one or several keys around their waists. And Mama Zhu has at least a dozen hanging on her waist. There are probably not many people who can hang a dozen keys in the Ziwei Divine Palace.

"Master, you're joking at the minions again." Mama Zhu took a bowl of five-color rice, put it in front of the Queen Mother and said.

The Queen Mother sat at the dinner table and said with a faint smile: "Where is the mourning family making fun of you, the mourning family is praising you!" After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she also smiled.

The Queen Mother's smile is comfortable, which is different from Wanying's comfort. The comfort just now was like pushing away the boulder that was pressing on his chest. It is the comfort that finally stretches the heart. And the comfort at the moment is simply happiness.

While speaking, Prince Rong heard the voice, and Mama Zhu went over to help Prince Rong untie the big slug on his body, and quickly pulled Prince Rong 'My son, my son' and rubbed it for a long time.

The Queen Mother suddenly said, "Huh...... is more concerned than the mother of the mourning family, and the old master's food is not served, but only cares about the little master's cold and hot and cold and asks for warmth. ”

Wanying heard the Queen Mother coquettish for the first time, and she also felt very respectable and cute, covering her mouth and smiling shallowly.

Mama Zhu was not in a hurry when she heard the Queen Mother's arrangement, and still hung Prince Rong's big coat neatly on the hanger, and then came over to make vegetables for the Queen Mother.

Prince Rong faded away, half-squatted and half-knelt on the queen mother's knees, and said in a childlike tone: "The child asks for his mother." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "My son is the most filial, and he sat down with his daughter-in-law to eat with his mother." ”

When Wanying heard this, she was very shy, and Prince Rong quickly took Wanying's hand and asked her to sit beside him. During the banquet, after Prince Rong served vegetables to the Queen Mother, he would inevitably also give Wanying a pick. The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Okay, okay, just serve vegetables directly to your daughter-in-law, and you don't need to clip it to the old woman of the mourning family." ”

Prince Rong saw that his little tricks were missing, and quibbled: "Mother, the child is filial to you in his heart." ”

"Nonsense, these dishes are sour and hard, my son is filial, but the mourning family's teeth can't be bitten."

Wan Ying smiled in her heart and poked Prince Rong with her finger under the table.

Prince Rong grabbed Wanying's hand and didn't let go. With a coquettish look on his face, he said: "Mother, doesn't the child remember that you love to eat this silk gold nugget?" ”

The Queen Mother picked up the browned sweet potato on the plate with chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Son, when you were young, your mother liked it, but now that you are older and your mother is old, your mother likes it, but she can't chew it." ”

After hearing this, Prince Rong quickly sandwiched a water-boiled vegetarian ball, put it in the queen mother's spoon, and said: "Mother, this ball is soft and rotten, and there is vegetable puree in it, which is easy to chew and swallow." ”

Mama Zhu also played a drum on the side and said, "It's still the sixth master's filial piety." ”

The Queen Mother's face was about to bloom, so she picked up the spoon and put it in her mouth with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Wan Ying scratched Prince Rong's palm with the hand that was clenched by Prince Rong. Prince Rong stretched out his hand and clasped his fingers under the table.

One meal, a family of three had a good meal. After the meal, a row of palace maids and fish penetrated inside, a palace maid held a cup of tea and handed it to Wanying, Wanying took a mouthful in her mouth, and another palace maid holding a bowl came over, and Wanying spit the tea she had gargled into the bowl. After rinsing her mouth, another palace maid stood in front of Wanying with a small copper basin. Wanying understood that this was Huanshou, so she immediately took off the ruby ring on her finger and was about to put it on the table, when a palace maid stretched out her hand to catch it. Wanying had no choice but to hand her the ring. After finishing his hand, a palace maid handed over a soft dry towel. Wanying wiped her hands. There was also a palace maid in the back who handed a hot towel. Wanying hesitated for a moment. Looking up, the Queen Mother and Prince Rong took the towel, gently wiped it on their foreheads, and followed suit. I put a hot towel on my forehead, and it was very comfortable and relieved.

After everything was done, the palace maid who received the ruby ring held the ring and handed it to Wanying.

"Okay, the mourning family has been talking all afternoon, and my heart is really comfortable, I think I can sleep peacefully tonight. Go back and settle down as soon as possible. ”

Wanying and Prince Rong both bid farewell to the Queen Mother. As soon as he walked to the door of the main hall, a little eunuch in front of the palace ran over and said, "Mama Zhu, you ...... You...... Let the Queen Mother go over and take a look, the emperor...... The queen is making trouble in the cold palace...... There was a commotion. ”

"Don't worry, talk slowly......"

"Mama Zhu, the queen is making trouble at the gate of the cold palace, you always let the queen mother go over and take a look."

"Is this the case?" Mama Zhu couldn't believe it.

"Yes, Mama, the father-in-law in charge of the affairs can't persuade him, so let the little one come over and report it."

"The Queen Mother can't go to this matter, you can go back."

"Mama, Gonggong Li asked the little one to invite the Queen Mother, and the little one asked the Queen Mother not to move, how can I pay the errand when I go back?"

"Presumptuous! Li Dewang lard was blinded, did he want to be the eunuch of this cold palace steward! It's worth letting the Queen Mother run for any things. If he can't manage this matter, the Queen Mother will change to someone who can manage it. You tell Li Dewang to let him take care of it himself. ”

The little eunuch was scolded and woke up, and was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "The slave is confused, the slave is confused, and Mama Zhu reprimanded it." The minion will go back. ”

The little eunuch was so frightened that he hurriedly ran back to the cold palace in the depths of Yongxiang. Prince Rong and Wanying bid farewell to Mama Zhu and disappeared into the night.

In the East Warm Pavilion of the main hall of Weiyang Palace, the fire is red but cannot melt the ice in the air. The newly promoted Mrs. Lu visited the unique Concubine De in the harem overnight.

The two were separated by a round table, with angry eyes, and they were in a stalemate for a while.

"Sister, my sister is the queen mother's concubine, my sister won't even ignore the queen mother's decree!"

"You are less hypocritical! You know that Dongpo meat is cooked by the palace himself, why did you stop the emperor just now and not let the emperor eat it? ”

"Sister, the emperor told his sister in private that the emperor has long been tired of eating this dish."

"Don't lie to me, when the emperor visited the palace a few years ago, he still talked about the dish made by the palace."

"Hi...... Sister, you're really crazy. The emperor has nothing to say to you, can't you even see this? ”

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, this palace will never spare you."

"Sister, my sister is kind enough to persuade you, how can you be angry? This dish, you have been doing it for so many years, you should also change your skills, the emperor does not say it, it is to understand your hard work, my sister is not allowed to eat, but also to understand the emperor's disgust, and it is not easy to say it, so I risked being disgusted by my sister and said it. ”

"The emperor clearly wanted to eat just now, but you stopped it, do you think the palace can't see it?"

"Sister, finally let's sit down together for a meal, that Dongpo meat you persuade my sister to listen to it, if the emperor doesn't clip it together, my sister can't get over it."

"It's you, it's you who instigated the emperor to say that Dongpo's meat is greasy, and the emperor won't let you eat it."

"During the Chinese New Year, the emperor is tired of it, and today at noon, the imperial doctor just prescribed a pill to strengthen the stomach and eliminate appetite, why don't you understand the emperor, sister?"

"You instigated it."

"Sister, my sister doesn't understand what you said, let's just make it clear, my sister is for her own grace, regardless of the emperor's dragon body, what's wrong with my sister stopping her?"

"Clever words, the emperor's dragon body can be greasy with two pieces of fat. You don't seduce the emperor a few times, and you have everything. ”

"Sister, you are the lady of the official family, how can you put such words on your lips like a concubine from a small family like Pan Zhaorong?"

"How much better can you be than Pan Zhaorong? You are not as good as him, she is above board, unlike you, who wants to be both * and chaste. ”

"My sister is really confused, you are arguing with your sister like this, but it is my sister's reputation for being virtuous, and it is not worth it. For the sake of our sisters, my sister will not investigate the fault of my sister's inappropriate words. ”

"Don't be too complacent, don't forget who promoted you to be Jieyu back then."

"My sister is really old, why do I always like to move out of these old things, what if my sister promoted her? If my sister wasn't afraid of Tong Zhaoyi, no, it was Xue Guifei who suppressed you, would you be willing to dedicate your sister to the emperor? Who said that the queen is not to be afraid, only Concubine Tong is our fierce enemy. My sister cooperated with my sister and brought down Concubine Tong, my sister didn't thank my sister, how could I complain about my sister like this? ”
