Chapter 871: Temptation
"What's wrong, Xiaoqi?"
"Is there anything distressing about the mother? When Xiao Qi spoke, the mother was in a daze. She pouted and was a little dissatisfied, and when the queen saw this, she picked her up and put her on her lap, and hugged her waist with both hands, "Yes, it may be that Bengong has been a little tired recently, so I didn't hear Xiao Qi's words, Xiao Qi is so generous, he will definitely not be angry with Bengong, right?" As he spoke, he reached out to tickle it.
Princess Xiaoqi smiled tremblingly, "Of course Xiao Qi won't be angry with Niangniang, Niangniang is the best Niangniang, Xiao Qi likes Niangniang." β
"Really?"
Princess Xiaoqi nodded affirmatively, Yun Jinglan looked at the conversation between the two of them but did not make a sound, this queen may really be a good person as Xiao Qi said?
She doesn't believe what this queen is doing now, she just believes in Xiao Qi even more, she is a child with an upright temperament, if it weren't for this favor over the years, how could she be so reckless. If she came abruptly to please Xiao Qi like this, the latter would definitely not adapt, how could Xiao Qi be a person who was willing to accompany others to perform.
So what exactly does this queen mean?
She is good to Xiao Qi, but it doesn't mean that she won't hurt Jia Lian, with her status and status, it is of course very reasonable to want to persecute a Lou Xiao's lover.
Yun Jinglan's heart was a little up and down, and the two people in front of her were still staging a mother-daughter relationship, and she was a little embarrassed and a little bored standing aside.
Fortunately, Xiao Qi was more conscientious and knew that it was too much to forgive her, so he quickly jumped off the queen's legs, reached out and grabbed Yun Jinglan's hand and asked, "Niangniang, do you still have anything to eat here?" β
The queen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled: "What?" Are you hungry, little gluttonous cat? β
Xiao Qi smirked twice, she did not eat breakfast in the morning because of her anger, and Yun Jinglan had already eaten when she went to the side hall, and she didn't feel hungry at that time, so she didn't let Ziyuan prepare some more, and now that she had spoken to the queen for such a while, she was so hungry that her stomach was rumbling.
And there is a special mother who can make snacks by the queen's side, and she has been thinking about it for a long time.
"Alright, here's coming."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone stepped forward and bowed her head respectfully, "Go and ask Mama Zhang to prepare some snacks, just say that the seventh princess is hungry." β
"Yes." The palace maid took a step back and left the palace, and the queen got up and moved to the round table on the side, on the table was a golden tablecloth embroidered with a big red phoenix.
The little seventh princess consciously climbed on a stool, but Yun Jinglan stood aside in a regular manner and did not dare to sit down, even if she was a princess, she could not easily sit down without the queen's approval.
Why is this Xiao Qi so rude, but she doesn't pay attention to the rules alone, Princess Xiao Qi still wanted to pull Yun Jinglan to sit down, and Yun Jinglan hurriedly pulled her hand down.
"Sister Lan, are you going to eat standing up?" She blinked her big eyes and asked quite innocently, Yun Jinglan was a little helpless, "This is not in accordance with the rules, princess, you just sit." β
"It's the rules again, it's okay if the mother concubine says so, I can't imagine that Sister Lan is such a layman." She pouted and looked very angry.
Yun Jinglan only smiled bitterly, eldest sister, you are a genuine princess, of course it is different.
The queen also felt amused when she looked at Xiao Qi's puffing appearance, sat beside her, stretched out her hand and poked her face and said, "It's okay, you can sit down too, there are no outsiders here." β
Yun Jinglan was a little unsure that this was said to her, but looking around, it seemed that no one else was staying in this dormitory, she reached out and pointed to her nose and looked at her in disbelief, "Did Niangniang say this to the little girl?" β
The queen burst out laughing, and then turned her gaze to her and said, "Why is there anyone else here?" β
"Nope." After that, she hurriedly pulled out a stool and sat down, she hadn't been able to do it since just now, and her legs were really a little numb.
The two replied this time, but the queen's eyes fell on the teacup on the table, Yun Jinglan's eyes were not bad, since there was no palace maid in this inner hall, it was most appropriate for her to handle the task of serving tea and water.
She didn't sit on the stool yet, so she hurriedly stood up again, poured three cups of tea and put a cup in front of her, and the little seventh princess blinked her big eyes and looked at her curiously: "Sister Lan's sister Ziyuan is also super delicious to cook, if you have time, you can let her try it with Mama Zhang." β
"You want to eat more food, right?" The queen reached out and rubbed her little head, this little princess was too naΓ―ve, everything in her heart was written on her face, unlike the person opposite, although her attitude was gentle, but her smile also hid this faint alienation and guardedness.
Why did she guess so quickly that she was trying to drive her away?
It seems that she is not stupid yet.
"Her Royal Highness the princess praised it falsely, Ziyuan's craftsmanship is very ordinary, but the princess is used to eating the taste of Zhongzhou, and she occasionally eats and changes it, so she has a good feeling of craftsmanship."
The little seventh princess blinked, is this so? Although it was the first time she had eaten something made of asters, it wasn't unacceptable.
"So Miss Yun isn't from Zhongzhou?" When the queen heard her words, it was easy to grasp a key point, Yun was stunned, it was no secret that she was an outsider, but if she was from Tianyue, I was afraid that it would be bad for her, Lou Xiao had also complained to her that she didn't know what was going on overseas, and the spearhead was all pointed at Zhongzhou.
So Yun Jinglan didn't really want to reveal her identity, but she accidentally said it just now, which stumped her, and she sat back in her chair, she smiled awkwardly, "In the countryside, Niangniang has never heard of it." β
"Tell me, maybe I've been here too?"
How could she run away as a queen, Yun Jinglan rolled her eyes silently in her heart, she didn't suspect that she sent someone to hunt down Jia Lian back then, but she first suspected her intentions.
"Ning Haicheng, have you heard of it?" Empress Li shook her head.
She said in her heart that you haven't heard it, but you still don't believe it, and at this time, the grandmother came up with a plate, and the clouds in the distance smelled a sweet smell, and the little seventh princess smacked her tongue, and she couldn't wait to jump off the stool to pick it up, but fortunately she was pulled back by the queen.
The little seventh princess had no choice but to sit on the stool and watch Mama Zhang approach little by little.
