Chapter 52: Each Bears a Ghost
The consul eunuch hurriedly came down from upstairs, his eyes swept over coldly, and silently made a gesture to Mu Lan to hurry up.
Mu Lan lowered her head, lowered her eyes, bowed down and followed the footsteps of the eunuch, and walked up to the second floor step by step, standing in front of everyone.
"Queen Mother, someone has been brought, this is the palace maid who made the golden duck palm." Liang Jiugong said in a low voice from the side.
Mu Lan always hung her head deeply, and bowed down respectfully: "The slave respectfully invites the Empress Dowager Sheng'an, respectfully invites the Emperor and Empress Sheng'an." ”
The Queen Mother didn't expect that the person who came turned out to be a thin little palace maid, and the petite figure seemed very familiar when you looked closely.
In the slightest hesitation, two cautious eyes froze on the pair of beautiful shoulders, and said leisurely: "Raise your head." ”
Mu Lan straightened up, raised her chin slightly, and looked at the people in front of her with a delicate face.
Seeing this beautiful face, the Queen Mother's originally cold face couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
And Princess Wen Xian, who has been watching from the wall and does not plan to swim in this muddy water, was really taken aback at this time, and almost blurted out: How could it be you?
Emperor Kangxi was also quiet, he just made a bet with Wen Xian, and the little palace maid who was exchanged by Wen Xian for a bird was not Mu Lan, who was kneeling on the ground at this time, and did not know the blessings and misfortunes?
It's really incredible, what the hell is going on?
Emperor Kangxi finally couldn't help but turn his head sideways and took a deep look at Wen Xian, who was standing beside the Queen Mother.
Wen Xian's fawn-like round apricot eyes happened to be at this time, flashing with sorrow.
It was inconvenient for Emperor Kangxi to ask in front of everyone, and a faint and slightly cold look had already made Wen Xian understand everything.
Wen Xian, what the hell are you doing again? Fang just said that he wanted to exchange the macaw with me for this little palace maid? Could it be that you want to go back with a dead person? Don't you know if you should talk to your imperial grandmother beforehand?
I'm telling you, I've already approved the release, but you know your grandmother's temper. Look at you this time, how can you ask for someone from the imperial grandmother who is angry, and how can you let your imperial grandmother come down to this stage......
The queen's face has not changed, and she carefully eats the cup of delicious Buddha jumping over the wall in front of her.
Of course, she still remembered that this beautiful little palace maid kneeling in front of her had her name, what she had said, and what she had done.
In the past few years, so many people have come and gone in the palace, and there has never been a living person who dares to deliberately show a blooming jasmine flower in front of her.
However, isn't this little palace maid just entering the palace for more than two months?
Now, within the jurisdiction of the Shanggong Bureau, is it like this, and there is no successor? At such a grand banquet, such a stinking little girl was assigned to take charge of the first dish on the banquet.
Or is it because I underestimated the little girl in front of me......
If this little palace maid is really scheming, it is not impossible that she can get an important position in the catering department in just two months.
It's just that if you want to seek success and gain favor in the harem, why bother to ask the emperor to transfer you to the catering department to do things in front of everyone on the day of the draft?
In fact, this little palace maid can not say anything, just wait quietly for the emperor, and casually seal a noble person to agree.
Well, with her appearance, figure, and age, it is not impossible to favor the harem in the future.
In the path of advancement in the harem, this is undoubtedly the best shortcut.
Now, why bother to risk your life in public, you have to take the risk of violating the royal rules on this special day, and want to provoke the queen mother's scales, or want to make a splash in this abnormal way? Or is everything he does follow the guidance of the master behind him?
What is the plot in the heart of this fan-like little palace maid?
Thinking about this, the queen couldn't help but raise her eyes, and quietly looked at Concubine De on the opposite side and took a few more looks.
Where his eyes swept slightly, he saw that Concubine De was still proud of her charms, as if she was nothing, and she was indifferent to the thousands of people who admired the crimson on her ten fingers.
Hehe, I'm already an old man, and I'm still making old melons roasted in the shape of green clay, who do you want to charm me?
I know that you are not honest one by one, and you have held back your strength to eat milk in advance, and you want to take advantage of the Queen Mother's chrysanthemum banquet to find a good reason to hit the palace.
It's nothing more than today's feast, from beginning to end, it is operated by the palace, if you don't make a fuss, how can you give up?
It's just that in this way, this palace is afraid of you, can't you? Do you think this palace is scared?
The queen gently stroked the sideburns beside her ears, and a robe sleeve was secretly covered, and she sneered secretly.
When the sleeves of the robe fell gently, the smile on his face became more and more graceful and elegant.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Queen Mother's eyes and movements are obviously a little hesitant.
Concubine De, who was smiling calmly on the side, couldn't really see the difference between the millimeters.
In this way, in the end, he underestimated the little palace maid in front of him, who still had a little appearance.
When did she get on the boat of the Queen Mother?
Sure enough, the heart has seven tricks and eight sides are exquisite.
Only God knows, how did this little palace maid get into his cold eyes, so as to indirectly try to pull herself into a tiger skin?
It was because of this inconspicuous little palace maid that she had messed up a chess piece that had been planted in the catering department for a long time.
It was because of this little palace maid who made her look down on her that she had ruined a situation that she had been planning for many years and was nearing the end.
If it weren't for the little palace maid in front of her, who begged the emperor for permission to go to the catering department on the day of the draft, she would not have disrupted her overall plan, and would not have let Xia Qing, who had always been tame and obedient, get carried away and act recklessly for a while when she was choosing a candidate for today's chrysanthemum banquet in the catering department, and had an argument with the little palace maid, and finally caught fire and was sent to the Food and Drug Administration Department, changed her course and started from scratch.......
Who is this little palace maid?
Or is it someone who has been supporting her behind the scenes?
If you break the good things of this palace, this palace should naturally take good care of her.
It is even more important to enjoy today's drama......
At this moment, even if the Queen Mother wants to take back her life, she is already ready to ride a tiger.
This little palace maid in charge of the meal has already been carried all the way from the catering department to the front of everyone, and now even if she doesn't want to punish her, in front of everyone's eyes, how can she change the order day and night, as if nothing happened, this chapter will be revealed.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother's eyes swept away, and her face was cold: "It turned out to be you." The mourning family only asks you, are you really the person in charge of the golden duck paw? ”
Mu Lan leaned over and kowtowed respectfully three times before she straightened up and replied, "If you go back to the Queen Mother, it is the slave maid." ”
The Queen Mother pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "In this way, I'm afraid that some people want to know you...... You should report to your own house first. ”
Mu Lan responded: "Yes." The slave maid is the palace maid of the Catering Department of the Shang Palace Bureau, named Mu Lan. ”
The Queen Mother nodded slightly, and said with a hint of fierceness in her tone: "Just now someone mentioned to the mourning family that this golden duck palm was not put into the magnolia flower slices during cooking. Since this dish was made by you, then Mu Lan, you have to tell the mourning family honestly, did you put in the magnolia flower slices when making this duck paw? ”
In the silence, everyone listened attentively, as if the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be tacitly understood.
Mu Lan took a deep breath and said word by word: "Back to the Queen Mother, the slave maid did not put the magnolia flower piece in the golden duck's palm. ”
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused an uproar among everyone.
When Princess Wen Xian heard Mu Lan say this, she almost wanted to hit the wall.
Even Emperor Kangxi, who had been silent all along, couldn't help frowning at this time and looked straight over.
When the Queen Mother heard this undisguised answer, her face immediately became a thin layer of autumn frost, and she said coldly: "Bold minion!" Who instructed you to do this? ”
