Chapter Twenty-Seven: Meals

Haoyue Xuan

"Master, Du Chang is asking to see you outside," Ruan Xiaoyi's palace maid walked in, bowed her head and said.

Ruan Youning put down the embroidery work in her hand when she heard this, "Do you know where she came from?" ”

"Back to the master, the little eunuch who followed her said that he came directly to Haoyue Xuan after coming out of Zuiyunwu, it seems that he ...... That didn't happen. ”

"Didn't work out? Hmph, she won't come to see me if she becomes her, let her go back, what does this little thing can't do with me, tell her that I have never had anything to do with her, and what to do or not to do is her own decision. ”

The palace maid answered and walked out, and relayed the original words to the people waiting outside.

Du Changzai's face was really pale now, and the little palace maid next to her who was frightened hurriedly supported her, "Did your master really say that?" ”

Obviously, it was Ruan Xiaoyi who came to Yanqing Pavilion to find her, hinting that she could gain something with this child, she thought that this child would not be a healthy person, so it might as well be used to help her.

But she didn't think that the matter failed, and the person who instigated her didn't even come to see her, even if she knew that she deliberately wanted to clear up the involvement, but how could she let her get her wish.

"In that case, I'll go back first."

Within an hour of returning to Yanqing Pavilion, it was reported that Du Chang had fetal gas after going to Haoyue Xuan, and three imperial doctors came to the hospital to save the only fetus in the palace.

Kunning Palace

"Bengong didn't expect her to die like this, if it weren't for the emperor, Bengong wouldn't bother to care about her life or death," the queen angrily brushed the teacups on the table to the ground, and said angrily.

Jin Mo hurriedly beckoned the little palace maid to come in and clean up, the little palace maid trembled, picked up the pieces and accidentally fell to the ground, the queen was even more angry when she heard the sound, and threw a stack of snacks and plates on her head, and immediately the blood flowed, and the little palace maid did not dare to cry, only kowtowed again and again.

"What's the use of this palace asking you useless minions?"

Jin Mo didn't see this scene, so he made a look, and Huizhu came in and served a new cup of tea.

"Niangniang, why bother to break her body for such popularity, she is just a permanent presence, Niangniang wants to be how she is not caught by hand, just a grasshopper in Niangniang's hand."

The queen took a sip of the teacup, frowned, and threw it on the ground, "Is such hot tea trying to burn the palace?" ”

Huizhu hurriedly knelt down, "The slave knows her mistake and asks the mother for forgiveness." Kim also knelt down.

After a long time, the queen calmed down her mood a little, knowing that she was angry, "Okay, get up, you have all followed Bengong since childhood, and Bengong knows it in your heart." ”

Jin Mo sighed in his heart, "Niangniang, the slave understands, I only ask Niangniang to take care of the phoenix body." ”

"What's the use of taking care of the phoenix body in this palace? The emperor didn't care about the palace at all, even the good father of the palace only thought about what benefits the palace could bring to the Yu family. ”

The queen is also bitter in her heart, such as the Yu family, the children are used to compete for favor and seek benefits, because she is a descendant, so she is qualified to marry the emperor, but even so, her father thought that she had not given birth to a male heir for many years, and thought about sending her sister into the palace.

"Niangniang, and the little princess, Niangniang should always think about the little princess, "Although the little princess is a girl, but in the end, she is the queen's flesh and blood, and she should always miss one or two."

The queen scoffed, "Princess? What's the use of a princess, if you know that she is a princess, this palace shouldn't have given birth to her. ”

She finally got pregnant for the second time, and was looking forward to giving birth to a concubine for the emperor, she not only tried her best to protect the fetus, and avoided the dark arrow several times, but also in order to raise the fetus wholeheartedly, she was willing to share the emperor's favor and support other women, but she didn't expect that the baby she gave birth to was a girl.

After that, he lost the emperor's heart, and there was no news from his stomach.

Jin Mo was shocked, he never expected the queen to say such a thing, "Niang Niang said carefully." ”

This was heard by someone with a heart, it can be described as a capital crime, and it is not an exaggeration to behead the whole house, where can the royal heirs be criticized by others, and if the little princess hears it, it will also be separated from the mother and son, hurting the relationship between the mother and the son.

The queen snorted coldly, and knew that what she had just said was over, and she didn't mention that topic anymore at the moment, "Serve the palace to dress, the palace is going to the Zichen Palace." ”

Zichen Palace

"Your Majesty, the queen asks to see you."

Hearing this, Zong Zhengjin raised his head, crossed Su Shunxian, and glanced at the Qinglong Porcelain Nine Rotation Ding Furnace that was slowly smoking not far away, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

"Returning to the emperor is for the sake of Du Chang's presence."

Zong Zhengjin's face was calm, he had already heard about it when Du Chang was going to Zuiyunwu just now, and he didn't want to say much at the moment.

"Tell her that I don't have time, let her deal with it herself, and if she feels overwhelmed, I really don't mind helping her find a few helpers."

Su Shun responded and walked out, "Queen Mother, the emperor is busy with government affairs, and he has no time to deal with these trivial matters, so let the mother make her own decisions." “

Seeing that the person opposite was first white, and then happy, Su Shunxian shook his head secretly, "The emperor also said that if the mother feels that there are many palace affairs, if she is unable to deal with it, she can find a few people to share one or two for the queen." ”

This is now alive and going back more and more, and such a trivial matter has come to ask the emperor, on the one hand, it is of course to show that the emperor is important, and he is afraid that the emperor will be angry, but on the other hand, he is also showing his incompetence.

The queen, as the lord of the six palaces, if she can't handle the affairs of the inner court for the emperor and let the emperor have no worries, it will be unbearable, let alone the mother's world.

The queen's face really couldn't be said to be good, "The palace knows, so I will go back first, there is Father-in-law Laosu." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the queen mother walks slowly," Su Shunxian said politely.

"Jin, find a reason, deal with the palace maid who Du Chang is around, and arrange for our people to go in," I thought it was just a constant presence, and it couldn't make many waves, even if the emperor explained it to her, she didn't really take it to heart.

But in the end, she still underestimated the determination of this group of women in the palace to compete for favor.

"Ruan Xiaoyi doesn't abide by the palace rules, so she will be grounded for three months," the queen said casually.

This is actually a very light punishment, Ruan Xiaoyi has not been favored since she gave birth, and it makes little difference to her, if she is smart enough, she should be able to accept the queen's love.

In the final analysis, the queen hates Du Chang the most.

"Niangniang, will the punishment be too light?" After all, what Ruan Xiaoyi committed was, to put it seriously, a murder of the emperor's heir.

The queen sat on the phoenix, and when she heard this, she lowered her head and glanced at Jin, disdainfully, "This palace is the lord of the six palaces, how can you allow others to beak when you act?" ”

What the mother said was that the slave knew that she was wrong, "Jin Mo knew that she couldn't be persuaded anymore, and besides, she was afraid that she would attract anger to herself, and the queen mother had become more and more unable to listen to persuasion recently."

However, I'm afraid that this behavior will make the emperor dissatisfied, hey, there will be trouble in the future.

Drunken Cloud Dock

"Master, try this hibiscus cake," Tingyao said with a small plate of delicately made pastries and placed them on the table next to him.

Su Jingxi nodded, picked up a piece from the multicolored plate, but two thumbs in size, but carved a blooming hibiscus on it, this dynasty, there is no so-called mold in later generations, but it is all carved by the chef's hand.

Therefore, only the wealthy families of the eunuchs and merchants can afford to hire a pastry master, so complicated to make such pastries, ordinary people, even if they are lucky enough to eat pastries, are just that boxy shape.

Of course, the palace is a different story.

Su Jingxi took a bite gently, it was oily but not greasy, it melted in her mouth, and the taste was slightly sweet, which was very in line with her usual taste, "It's not bad." ”

"Master, do you say that Ruan Xiaoyi is really the mastermind behind Du Changzai? Otherwise, how could she have gone to find her after leaving the Drunken Cloud Dock? ”

Su Jingxi shook her head, "I don't know, maybe, after all, Ruan Xiaoyi also lost a child before, but ...... But maybe it's her trick, we don't know. ”

Su Jingxi could probably guess that Du Wanru would only hear who said something to her, and she would come to Zuiyunwu to find her, trying to set up a blame and seek benefits for herself.

And that person, judging from today, is also extremely likely to be Ruan Xiaoyi.

However, she didn't expect her to be so cautious, and she had no interest in her children at all.

"Forget it, leave her alone, tell her to go down, in the future, the people in Zuiyunwu will stay away from her, can't you hide if you can't provoke her?"

"Yes," Ting Yao chuckled, "the master is getting lazier and lazier now." ”

Su Jingxi was not angry, and hooked the corners of her mouth, "How do you say this?" ”

"The slave and maid look at the master, they stay in Zuiyunwu every day, only eating, drinking and sleeping, but the others want to hide far away."

"You don't have to say the same thing," Su Jingxi was amused by her, "You forgot to say that the emperor is the emperor, your master doesn't want to hide from the emperor." ”

"Yes, yes, my master said."

"Okay, in order to cooperate with what you said about your master becoming lazy, I will definitely use an extra bowl of rice tonight, so that the others in Zuiyunwu can know how you listen to Yao and how he is like a god," Su Jingxi said extremely cooperatively.

Hearing Yao's helplessness, he was about to speak when he heard Su Shunxian's voice outside, "The emperor has arrived." ”

"The concubine asks the emperor for peace," Su Jingxi saluted.

After he helped him up, he smiled, "Why did the emperor come here at this hour?" ”

"I'll see how you can use an extra bowl of rice," Zong Zhengjin raised his eyebrows and said playfully.

Su Jingxi was embarrassed, walked over to him and sat down, she had long known that when the two got along, he actually didn't want her to pay too much attention to the rules, and even indulged her intentionally or unintentionally, and she was happy to do so.

As for the future if she is disgusted by him, if she is held accountable for her unruliness, it will be one more crime at most.
