Ding Zhen stared at the meal in front of him and said nothing.

The little chamberlain who was waiting beside him saw that his face was a little solemn, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

Yuan Lu walked in slowly, glanced around, and waved his hand at the attendants of the time.

The chamberlains secretly breathed a sigh of relief and retreated as if they were about to be amnestied.

Yuan Lu walked up to Ding Zhen's side, picked up the silver chopsticks on the table with his fingers, and put a piece of crucian carp meat into Ding Zhen's bowl.

"Godfather, this is made by the newly recruited Yangzhou Imperial Chef, can you taste the taste of Yangzhou."

Ding Zhen glanced up at him and asked casually, "Shouldn't you be waiting by everyone's side now?" ”

Yuan Lu smiled slightly, "Everyone is eating at Hui Xiuyuan's place, and my son asked Qi Shou to wait there." ”

Ding Zhen nodded clearly, and the silver chopsticks in his hand kept stirring up the crucian carp meat in the bowl. "Well, Qi Shou is a clever man."

Yuan Lu smiled kindly, he saw that the crucian carp meat in the bowl was broken, and asked cautiously, "What's the trouble with Godfather?" ”

Ding Zhenhu glanced at him suspiciously, was silent for a while, and then spoke: "It's just Concubine Zhang Xian's business." ”

He was only halfway through his words, when he suddenly waved his hand and said, "That's it, don't mention it again." ”

Yuan Lu was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled and used chopsticks to pick up another piece of meat and put it in Ding Zhen's bowl. "Concubine Zhang Xian is just the end of the crossbow, and now the people in the palace are avoiding her everywhere! Godfather, it's okay to do this. ”

He suddenly sighed again, and said as if sympathetic: "It's just that I pity that Baoqin girl, who is so young, is going to suffer with Concubine Zhang Xian!" ”

When Ding Zhen heard Baoqin's name, the chopsticks in his hand trembled slightly. "Miss Baoqin?"

Yuan Lu saw that his expression was somewhat relaxed, and hurriedly responded: "Concubine Zhang Xian is down, and these palace people waiting around her will naturally not have a good end. If someone is a hero at this time to save the beauty, I am afraid that it will be a beautiful thing. ”

Ding Zhen hung his head and was silent at this time, so that Yuan Lu couldn't see his expression at the moment.

After a pause, Yuan Lu cautiously approached Ding Zhen and said, "Godfather's heart for Miss Baoqin, my son is not unclear. Godfather, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity..."

He didn't say much about the rest of the words, but he believed that Ding Zhen's mind would flash out immediately.

Ding Zhen slowly raised his head, his expression was serious, and he stared at Yuan Lu with half-squinted eyes: "Do you know what kind of sin it is to play tricks under everyone's noses!" ”

The sharp and terrifying gaze in his eyes made Yuan Lu's heart stagnate, and Yuan Lu knelt on the ground in a panic and repented: "Godfather, it's my son who is wrong, my son just wants to be a godfather, but he forgot everyone's rules, and ask his godfather to punish him." ”

Ding Zhen stared at him for a while, then chuckled, and then raised his head and laughed.

Yuan Lu looked at Ding Zhen's movements for some reason, and called hesitantly: "Godfather, godfather." ”

Ding Zhen stretched out his hand to help Yuan Lu up, and a gentle smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, "You think about your godfather like this, how can your godfather be willing to punish you." ”

He paused slightly, and then said: "Not only will the godfather not punish you, but if this matter is done, the godfather will reward you well!" ”

Yuan Lu breathed a long sigh of relief, his face was immediately full of smiles, he lowered his head and said: "It is my son's honor to be able to do things for my godfather, and my son wishes my godfather great things will be successful!" ”

"Good! Good! Ding Zhen squinted and smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

In the Linhua Palace, as soon as Zhao Xuan's holy car left, the palace maid helped Hui Xiuyuan, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Niangniang, everyone finally came here, why didn't Niangniang leave everyone to sleep here?" The palace maid asked with a questioning face.

Hui Xiuyuan stroked the hem of her skirt with her hand, turned around and sat back in her seat elegantly, looked at the dishes and chopsticks that Zhao Xuan had just used, and replied a little indifferently: "Everyone is busy, don't let this little thing disturb the country's major affairs." ”

"!" The palace maid seemed to be unwilling to call.

Before the words could be spoken, he was blocked by Hui Xiuyuan's cold voice, "Okay, the human base has been sent away, and this matter is no longer solvable." ”

The palace maid lowered her head and sighed lightly, she didn't fail to see the indifference and resistance revealed in the mother's actions at dinner. This mother's heart disease has not been solved, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will be disappointed again this time.

Just as she was thinking about it, a palace person suddenly walked in outside, and she saluted respectfully towards Hui Xiuyuan and said, "Slave and maid see Niangniang." ”

Hui Xiuyuan glanced at her, recognized her as the person next to the Queen Mother, waved her hand casually, and asked, "What's the matter with the Queen Mother?" ”

The palace people clasped their hands in front of their abdomen, lowered their heads and said respectfully: "Back to Niangniang's words, the pomegranate flowers in the Queen Mother's courtyard bloomed exceptionally early this year, and the Queen Mother sent slaves and maids to send some to the Niangniang, and it was also appropriate to look at the occasion." ”

Hui Xiuyuan naturally knew what this queen mother meant, she had planted a pomegranate tree in her courtyard before, and today she sent pomegranate flowers after knowing that everyone was eating at her place.

I'm afraid that this calculation is empty, and everyone was driven away by her first.

She glanced sideways at the palace maid beside her, and the palace maid stepped forward with a smile and said, "This sister will give me the flowers." ”

The palace people looked around the room, and saw that there were only two people, Hui Xiuyuan and the palace maid, and their faces couldn't help but show a trace of disappointment. But the disappointment disappeared in a blink of an eye, and a decent smile appeared on his face again.

She turned her head and took the pot of pomegranate flowers from the palace people behind her, and carefully handed it to the palace maid.

After the palace maid took it, she respectfully saluted again and said: "Niangniang, the queen mother still needs a slave maid to wait, and the slave maid has retired first." ”

Hui Xiuyuan glanced at the pomegranate flower and said "grace" lightly.

After the palace people left, the palace maid holding the pomegranate flower asked cautiously: "Where should I put this flower?" ”

Hui Xiuyuan casually pointed to the center of the table, "Just put it here." Remove all the dinner, and go back to rest. ”

"Yes."

The palace maid turned around and beckoned the palace people outside the door to come in and clean up, and after cleaning up, she quietly retreated.

Hui Xiuyuan sat on the chair, holding her head with her hands and caressing the petals with her bored fingers. Suddenly, a strange fragrance wafted into her nose, and she felt dizzy in her brain, and immediately stood up in a panic.

She held her head in her hand and shook her head vigorously, only to shake her senses for a while.

She frowned and stared at the pot of pomegranate flowers on the table, bright red as a burning flame. The corners of his mouth rippled with a vague smile, I am afraid that I will really live up to the kindness of the Queen Mother tonight.

A familiar and mellow singing voice sounded outside the window as promised, and the expression on her face softened a little.
