Chapter 317: Doing Hands and Feet Under Your Eyes
"I'm going to take revenge?" Empress Zhao was suddenly furious, jumped up and pointed at Concubine De's nose and scolded: "I just fulfilled your hypocrisy." His Majesty guards that gentleman's will every day, in fact, he has long wanted to press her under him, and you, you are friendly with her on the face, but in fact, you just want to use her to compete for favor. If she really follows Your Majesty, with your relationship, Your Majesty will also look at you more! ”
"Smack-"
With a loud bang, Empress Zhao covered her cheeks and glared at the girl Qing'er behind Concubine De in disbelief: "You, you dare to beat me?" ”
Not to be outdone, Qing'er glared back, and said hatefully, "What about beating you?" You are now only a commoner, and you are still a sinner, not even as good as the lowest slave in the palace. ”
Empress Zhao was greatly humiliated, and she suddenly hated this sharp-toothed girl, looked at her face carefully, and suddenly felt a trace of familiarity, and then looked carefully, and immediately felt that the five thunders hit the top, and the sky above her head was darkened. She was so shocked that she sat on the bench, but she didn't sit still, and fell to the ground.
She raised her hand and pointed at Qing'er, and said in shock and fear, "You...... You are the little girl next to Bai Jiu's slut! ”
"Don't bite a slut." Qing'er looked at her with disdain, "Although Miss Bai was born in the rivers and lakes and has an upright personality, she is much stronger than you self-proclaimed and dignified daughters. Speaking of being cheap, what qualifications do you, a dang woman who hooked up with others behind His Majesty's back, have to talk about her? ”
Empress Zhao gritted her teeth and said, "Why didn't you die, I was obviously ...... at the beginning"
"Yes, you obviously sent me to the Shen Penal Division, and your cronies came to supervise the punishment in person, so I had no way to live." Qing'er's tone was cold: "But you probably didn't expect that on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, although Miss Bai was tricked, she didn't follow Your Majesty as you wished." On the contrary, the young lady made a big fuss in the palace, alarming the queen mother, and there was chaos in the harem, and all the people in the Shen Criminal Division were transferred to stop Miss Bai, and there was no one to supervise her. ”
"So, Concubine De took advantage of the chaos to rescue you. Over the years, she has been with you, and I never found out. Empress Zhao closed her eyes and secretly called herself negligent, otherwise with this scourge, she would have gotten rid of Concubine De Guifei a long time ago, where would she come from today's Wei Shi?
Qing'er snorted coldly and didn't answer, Concubine Degui answered lightly: "In the early years, Qing'er was young, raised in the dark room of my palace, and you never entered my palace, so naturally you can't find her." Later, Qing'er grew up, her appearance changed greatly, and when she went out once in a while, no one recognized her, so I knew that I could take her with me. ”
When she said this, she coughed again and gasped for a moment, and then gestured to Qing'er with her eyes: "Father-in-law Qi Chun is waiting outside, if you miss the hour, it will not be good." Go and ask your father-in-law to come in. ”
"Yes." Qing'er was blessed and went out to invite someone.
There were only Concubine De and Empress Zhao left in the room, Concubine De looked up at the sky, and suddenly whispered: "When I first entered the palace, you were also good to me. What are your unfulfilled wishes? ”
"Don't let him die an easy death!" Empress Zhao gritted her teeth and said hatefully.
Concubine De straightened her waist and said lightly: "My life is short, and I may not be able to realize this wish." ”
"Then while you're alive, let him taste the pain of the cone!" Empress Zhao stared at her eyes and said word by word: "I know what you want, but now Bai Jiu has long since lived in this world, and she doesn't need the jade card." ”
"It's her wish after all." Concubine De sighed lightly: "Once you get acquainted, I always want to do this last thing for her." I have agreed to what you said, and if I live for a day, I will definitely try my best to let him try the pain of this world. You can always tell me where that thing is by now, right? ”
Empress Zhao glanced at her deeply, turned her ear over, and muttered a few words.
A trace of astonishment flashed in Concubine De's eyes, and she quickly nodded in surprise: "Put it there, no wonder no one has found it so far." ”
The palace door opened again, Qi Chun entered the inner hall with white silk and wine, and the old face had a smile that saw through the world, respectful and without a little human touch: "Queen Mother, white silk and wine, you choose it yourself, right?" ”
Empress Zhao glanced at him, and without hesitation, she reached out and picked up the wine and drank it all.
Concubine De held Qing'er's hand and commanded in a low voice: "Go back to the palace." ”
Qing'er answered, and the master and servant came out of the inner hall. Wei Shi and Mu Yunge had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw her come out, their faces were more than three points whiter than just now, so Wei Shi asked: "What else does the concubine have to say to her, she has been talking for so long!" ”
"It's just some old things, nothing special." Concubine De pinched her eyebrows tiredly, unwilling to say more.
Wei Shi wanted to ask again, but Mu Yunge squeezed his hand, and he had no choice but to silence. Mu Yunge glanced at Qing'er, and Wei Shi suddenly understood, but still shook his head. This Qing'er has always had the same heart as Concubine De, and Concubine De didn't plan to say it, and she couldn't ask anything from Qing'er's mouth.
Several people returned to the palace together, and Concubine De was tired, so she took off her makeup and went to bed to rest.
The maidservant brought her medicine to drink, she closed her eyes and was about to rest, suddenly opened her eyelids again, looked at Wei Shi and whispered: "Shi'er, I want to eat Yipinzhai's snow hibiscus, you take Qing'er to buy some together." ”
"The mother concubine wants to eat, the child will buy it for you, Qing'er is a palace maid, and it is troublesome to go in and out." Wei Shi said busily.
Concubine De shook her head: "You are the king of the county, although Your Majesty loves you, and it is more convenient to enter and exit than the other brothers, but there are always restrictions." And it takes time to go back and forth, so let's let Qing'er go. ”
Wei Shi was helpless and had to agree.
Mu Yunge lowered his head, very puzzled in his heart. Concubine De has never been a gluttonous person, how could she suddenly want to eat snow hibiscus?
Qing'er brought silver taels, and before going out, she glanced at Concubine De, who nodded, and looked at the east with ethereal eyes. Qing'er understood, lowered her head and gestured with her hand, and followed Wei Shi and Mu Yunge out of the door.
Wei Shi and Mu Yunge naturally saw that little action, and the two tacitly took Qing'er out.
Wei Shi glanced at Mu Yunge, and Mu Yunge approached Qing'er and said with a smile: "Niangniang has been taking a lot of medicine recently, and it is inevitable that her mouth will be bitter, and Xue Hibiscus is afraid that it is not sweet enough, why don't you change to a candied fruit?" ”
"Niangniang usually eats candied fruit, but today I suddenly want to eat snow hibiscus, and the taste is good." Qing'er lowered her head and replied calmly: "Snow hibiscus is not sweet enough, but with pear blossom cake, it tastes very good." If you add some plum soup, it will naturally not be greasy, and the mother will feel better in her mouth after eating it. ”
Mu Yunge got the answer he wanted, so he didn't say more, and together with Wei Shi, he sent Qing'er to Yipinzhai to buy pastries, and both of them looked at Qing'er without blinking, wanting to see what tricks she came up with.
The guy asked Qing'er, "What does the girl want?" ”
"Buy some snow hibiscus." Qing'er whispered.
The guy was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Snow Hibiscus has been sold out, and the fresh ones are being made, can the girl wait for a while?" ”
Qing'er nodded, and apologized to Wei Shi and Mu Yunge: "Your Highness, Zhenshu, I'm afraid I have to wait a little longer." Niangniang really wants to eat, so she can only bother His Highness to send slaves and maids into the palace later. ”
Wei Shi was full of doubts, so he naturally refused to leave, and immediately said, "It's okay, just wait for a while." ”
After a puff of incense, the freshly made snow hibiscus was brought from the back kitchen. Fresh and hot, the guy hurriedly helped to fill a box, and Qing'er said, "Pack two more boxes." ”
The guy pretended as he said, and Qing'er handed over two of the boxes to Wei Shi and Mu Yunge, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness and Zhenshu." Recently, Niangniang has been sick, and she has not prepared snacks for His Royal Highness as before, these two boxes of snow hibiscus should be regarded as gifts from Niangniang to His Royal Highness and Zhenshu, please bring His Highness and Zhenshu back to the house to taste it. ”
"Thank you." After waiting for a long time, but they didn't find anything wrong, Wei Shi and Mu Yunge couldn't help but be disappointed and took it.
It wasn't until Qing'er entered the palace gate that the two of them felt stunned and felt that something was wrong. Glancing at the snow hibiscus that Qing'er was carrying, the two suddenly said in unison: "There is a problem with the pastry!" ”
The two glanced at each other and quickly wanted to enter the palace, but the palace door closed at this time.
Mu Yunge said with annoyance: "It's all my fault for being careless, I didn't find anything wrong." ”
"I don't blame you, I didn't find out." Wei Shi squinted his eyes and looked at the thick palace door that was closed, and his voice was a little lost: "I underestimated Qing'er." When did the mother concubine have such a powerful girl by her side, who could hide it from the two of us. You say, how the hell did she get it? ”
"Is it a pinsai?" Mu Yunge recalled the situation at that time, and the most likely thing was that Qing'er took advantage of their unpreparedness to communicate with others.
Wei Shi shook his head, he had been staring at the guy in Yipinzhai at that time, whether it was asking questions or decorating snacks, he had no contact with Qing'er. If it is said that he has done his hands and feet in the dim sum, but the dim sum is also casually pretended, and when he gives it to them, how can Qing'er guarantee that he will not take it by mistake?
The two couldn't figure it out, and they studied all the way to the Mu family, but they still had no clue.
Mu Jinran waited for most of the day, and when she saw Mu Yunge coming back with pastries, she cheered, ran up and took Mu Yunge and Wei Shi's hands, and asked with a smile: "Sister, where did you go to play with Brother Wei, the county lord came to look for you just now." ”
"Where's she?" Mu Yunge heard that Nangong Jin had come, so he hurriedly asked.
Mu Jinran pointed to West Street: "I just sent it away!" ”
Mu Yunge pondered for a moment, secretly guessing in his heart that it must be for the marriage of Nangong Jin and Lin Juzheng, and this matter was not in a hurry, so he could only postpone it.
Mu Jinran took her hand, but dragged Wei Shi with one hand, wanting to fight Wei Shi.
Wei Shi's martial arts were the best among the children of the nobles in Kyoto, and Mu Jinran often heard other generals praise when he was in the barracks, and he was always very itchy. Since the Chinese New Year's Eve competition, Mu Jinran's love for martial arts has risen to a higher level, and finally when Wei Shi is idle, how can he be willing to give up this opportunity, and he will not let go.
Wei Shi also liked this smart brother-in-law, and the three of them returned to Ning Bi Pavilion, because they were too lazy to take weapons, and they were discussing, Wei Shi picked a firewood at random and fed Mu Jinran.
Mu Jinran has been full of confidence these days, but he didn't think that in front of Wei Shi, he couldn't even pass twenty moves, and his mouth was getting higher and higher.
Wei Shi knew that he was ruthless, so he was relieved: "Don't blame Jinran, it's the weapons that don't take advantage of it, and Jinran is not used to it." If you pick a random weapon in the barracks, Brother Wei will not be your opponent. ”
"That's right, it's a matter of location!" Before Mu Jinran could speak, Mu Yunge suddenly cried out in surprise.
