Chapter 403: Pleasing the Queen Mother

Yuehua's visit to the Han Mansion this time was touched, and she wanted to get closer to the Queen Mother. On the way, I passed by the time-honored pastry shop, got out of the car and entered the shop, and picked out a few signature snacks for the Queen Mother.

Although there is an imperial kitchen in the palace, and the craftsmanship is also excellent, the pastries in this shop have their own characteristics, and they are light and not greasy, and the Queen Mother should like it.

After she returned to the palace, the dim sum was still a little warm, so she didn't delay, and she didn't change her clothes, so she went directly to the Ruian Palace.

In addition to setting the province every morning and dusk, Yuehua rarely takes the initiative to come to Ruian Palace, so the Queen Mother was also a little surprised when she heard the report from the palace people, and she didn't know what Yuehua meant by coming here.

Yuehua asked for an ceremony, sat down, did not hide it, and said truthfully to the queen mother: "Two days ago, my cousin was happy to add a noble son, and today thanks to the emperor's grace, I went out of the palace to visit. When I came back, I went to Qingfeng Zhai to buy a few Yangzhou dim sum and brought them back for the queen mother to taste. ”

As soon as the Queen Mother heard that Yuehua was out of the palace, she was a little displeased, and her face sank: "You are so bulky now, why are you still so willful and run out of the palace in person?" What if there is an accident on the way? ”

"The queen mother's lesson is that Yuehua is not thoughtful enough. Just thinking that the palace is not far from the Han Mansion, but the kung fu of the tea is a little careless. ”

Yuehua was so deferential, the anger in the queen mother's heart disappeared a little, and she snorted softly: "What you have in your belly is the eldest son of the emperor, and the mourning family has been looking forward to it for so many years, and it is not easy to look forward to it, you can't take it lightly." ”

Yuehua lowered her head and stuck out her tongue secretly, only taking the Queen Mother's words as caring about herself, nodded again and again, and ordered someone to put the dim sum out: "This dim sum is still hot, the most soft, can the queen mother taste it?" ”

The Queen Mother had an awkward temperament, and she was unwilling to give Yuehua a good face easily, so she glanced at it disdainfully: "Where are these rough foods half as fine as those in the palace?" ”

Yuehua's hand stiffened, and she was still a little embarrassed. But she also understands that the relationship between the two has been stiff for so long, and it is not something that can be eased overnight.

She still smiled very sweetly, and put the plate in front of her again: "You can barely taste it, and you will treat it as experiencing the suffering of the people." ”

In fact, where is this dim sum as unbearable as the Queen Mother said? The wisps of sweet fragrance went directly into the nose, and there was a faint smell of frankincense, and the Queen Mother was still a little moved.

She forced her face, Nunu mouthed: "Put it aside, it's not that the mourning family hasn't seen the world, what kind of food haven't you tasted?" Wait for the mourning family to eat later. ”

Yuehua didn't follow, personally picked the most delicate piece, and handed it directly to the Queen Mother's mouth: "Can you just taste it?" Seeing the child begging you like this, he doesn't even give you a little affection. ”

There is a bit of coquettishness in these words, just like the intimacy of mother and daughter when they get along. The Queen Mother couldn't help but be stunned, turned her face to look at Yuehua, and saw her squinting eyes, smiling all over her face, and couldn't help but open her mouth.

Yuehua handed the snack in her hand to her mouth, she took a small bite, and it melted in her mouth, extremely soft, and even closed. But he snorted softly: "That's it." ”

"Really?" Yuehua was suspicious, so she threw the remaining half of the queen mother's bite directly into her mouth, still smiling brightly: "If the queen mother doesn't like it, next time Yuehua will change it to another taste." ”

Her behavior was a little abnormal, too affectionate, and the Queen Mother was a little stunned for a moment: "You ......"

Yuehua smiled "hehe": "I'm greedy again, and I said that I would eat less in the future." ”

"Nonsense," the Queen Mother reprimanded: "This person with a body has to eat more, eat better, how can he eat less?" ”

Yuehua didn't care at all in the face of the Queen Mother's reprimand, and grinned: "Queen Mother, you haven't seen the little son of Han Zhuangyuan's family, you are so white and fat, Ling Xi suffered when he gave birth to him." ”

At the mention of the child, the Queen Mother suddenly became interested: "How much does the child weigh?" How many pounds and taels? ”

Yuehua also danced with her eyebrows, and talked about what she saw and heard in the Han Mansion today in the same way as the Queen Mother, especially when she mentioned the old lady's name for the child, which made the Queen Mother lean forward.

"When my heart was small, my family was also pampered, and I wanted to name it a bolt pillar, just because he belonged to a horse, so he could bolt it and not run."

Yuehua couldn't help laughing when she remembered Shen Xincai's arrogant appearance today, with such a rustic name.

It was the time when she was harmonious and eager, Concubine Ling rushed in in a panic from outside the hall, sweating slightly on her forehead, and glanced at Yuehua in panic.

"Why are you so flustered?" The Queen Mother scolded unhappily: "Forget that you are a person with a body, right?" ”

Then she immediately stood up and ordered the palace people to help her sit down.

Concubine Ling glanced at Yuehua very strangely, and sat down silently, still a little out of breath.

"Why isn't there anyone holding you all the way?" The Queen Mother continued to be angry.

Concubine Ling shook her head: "Aren't you in a hurry to come over to see the imperial aunt?" ”

The Queen Mother shook her head helplessly: "The heart is gone?" ”

Concubine Ling glanced at Yuehua again, and then nodded: "Let's go, let Ling'er talk to the imperial aunt, and I won't bother you." ”

"This kid is the rule." The Queen Mother smiled and praised.

Yuehua was suspicious in her heart. According to the Queen Mother, Shen Xincai entered the palace before he returned to the palace.

These days, I heard that Concubine Ling has been on Zhang Luo Shen Xincai's errand, and he often walks in the palace. I just don't know if his eagerness to enter the palace today has anything to do with Shicai's own rescue of Shi Yunhai's wife and children?

Could it be that the wicked are suing first? He was afraid that he would expose his crimes in front of the Queen Mother or Mo Guhan, so he came over to say hello to Concubine Ling first?

Or are you anxious to get back to the woman?

If it is inferred in this way, is it possible that Shi Yunhai's wife and children are to be driven out of Beijing?

Concubine Ling is in the deep palace, can she embarrass a woman? The Shen family has a big business, and it can't be said for a house.

Yuehua lowered her head and thought, Concubine Ling also looked at Yuehua frequently today, her eyes were strange, and she was absent-minded when she heard the Queen Mother speak.

"What are the royal aunts and the queen talking about? Talking about such speculation? Concubine Ling asked tentatively, "How did I hear that my brother was coming?" ”

"I just came back from Lord Han's mansion, and I was talking to the queen mother." Yuehua puns on the truth.

Concubine Ling smiled: "Brother Shicai also talked about this, he said that he had some misunderstandings with the queen before, and he was offended, and asked the queen's mother Haihan, don't worry about him." ”

The Queen Mother was slightly surprised: "What?" The heart has just seen the queen? ”

Yuehua nodded, and before she could speak, Concubine Ling had already preemptively explained: "There was just a little misunderstanding, and now it has passed." ”

"It's good to know that it's a misunderstanding, it's all a family. The child has always been upright and easy to offend people. ”

Yuehua just snorted coldly in her heart, Concubine Ling was a preemptive strike, even if she mentioned it in front of the Queen Mother in the future, the Queen Mother was afraid that she would only say that she had a small belly.

She smiled softly: "It's because they are all family, so I favor him a little bit today, and I lightly brushed things over." Otherwise, if this matter is investigated, Shen Gongzi will really be at a loss. ”

The Queen Mother was suddenly aroused: "What's the matter?" ”

"It's a Diao people who occupy our house and refuse to move out, and the popularity of my brother's hands is just in the past, and it happened to be seen by the queen. How? Queen Mother, did that wicked person sue first and said something bad about my brother? ”

Yuehua had no intention of arguing right and wrong in front of the Queen Mother, because even if Shen Xincai was said to be heinous, the Queen Mother was also protected. She smiled indifferently at Concubine Ling: "No, it's just a little bit of a conversation about her deceased father-in-law." ”

"What's the matter?" Concubine Ling couldn't wait to ask.

Yuehua smiled meaningfully: "Concubine Ling cares about her very much? ”

Concubine Ling coughed lightly: "It's just a moment of curiosity." ”

"It turned out to be a widow," the Queen Mother interjected: "Then you should be more generous, our Shen family does not lack a house, and it is not easy for her to be a woman, so she should accumulate virtue and do good." ”

"Yes," Concubine Ling hurriedly answered: "That's what I said, my brother should go down, and he said that he would take care of him more in the future." ”

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction.

"What is the heart doing when you enter the palace? Is there something wrong? ”

Concubine Ling shook her head and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just to ask the imperial aunt for her birthday a few days ago, what is he going to do." ”

"It's rare for this child to be so hearty, and he thinks about it every year. You didn't ask him what errand he wanted to do. It's not okay to be idle at home all the time, and your mind must be in the right place. ”

Concubine Ling smiled wryly: "He also wants to share his worries for the emperor, but the emperor always can't believe it, and always gives him some thankless errands." ”

"The emperor is thinking about honing and honing him, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, you can't do it overnight, and you can directly crown the king and pay homage to the prime minister, right?" The Queen Mother said unhappily.

"It's not that he picks fat and thin, it doesn't matter if he works hard, he just feels that this is uncomfortable, and there are always people talking behind his back."

"Nonsense? Say what? The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and asked.

Concubine Ling wanted to speak and stopped.

"Say, what are you doing?"

Concubine Ling glanced at Yuehua at this time, and said meaningfully: "Even if you can't level up with a bowl of water, you can climb to the sky in one step like General Chu and be a general, you can't be too shabby, and you lose the face of the royal family, right?" ”

Yuehua knew that Concubine Ling was deliberately tugging on herself, and smiled slightly: "My brother-in-law Chu Mubai grew up on my father's horseback since he was a child, and he was born and died. It's just that my father was afraid that he was young and vigorous, and his ambition in his early years was too frivolous, so he deliberately tempered him, and never awarded him an official and a half-position. However, his prestige in the army is obvious to all.

After my father went, my brother also started as an ordinary soldier, under the oppression of the Chang family, Taoguang was obscure, indomitable, and succumbed to the Huotou army for several years.

In this way, my brother-in-law has been honed in the military camp for more than ten years, whether it is qualifications or ability, may I ask Concubine Ling, which one is not qualified? ”

After a lot of arguments, Concubine Ling was speechless.
