Chapter 385: Bird's Nest Soup (2)
Mingzhu had no reason at all to refuse Princess Huayang's request.
In the eyes of others, this is the bird's nest soup specially prepared for her by the Queen Mother, who has always pampered her, which is the safest and most delicious, even if she can't eat it with morning sickness, it is okay to give it to others. And Princess Huayang is also a person with a head and a face, and it is not easy to open this mouth and ask her for something to eat. Refusal means not giving face to Princess Huayang, and refusal means that there is a big problem between her and the Empress Dowager.
If Mingzhu is a hard-hearted person, she can watch Princess Huayang eat this bird's nest porridge with a cold eye, and by the way, test whether the Empress Dowager is really so ruthless. But she wasn't, even if the silver spoon was as white as new, she wouldn't dare, because some poisons could not be detected by silver alone.
Mingzhu is so irritable, she is about to hook up with Princess Huayang, and problems follow. There will be a way, there will be a perfect excuse to reasonably refuse Princess Huayang, Mingzhu smirked for a moment, and really came up with a reasonable excuse for her: "I got dirty, how embarrassed to give it to you." I'll ask you for another bowl. As he spoke, he handed the tangled bowl of bird's nest soup to the palace people on the side, and instructed: "You go to Aunt Xian and ask for another bowl." ”
It is she who attracts people's eyes and hatred, not Princess Huayang, even if there is really a problem with this bowl of bird's nest soup, it will be no problem to change another bowl and serve it to Princess Huayang.
The palace people retreated, and Princess Huayang looked at Mingzhu with a grateful smile and said, "They all say that you are a rough person, but you are actually careful and thoughtful." After accepting your affection, I will invite you to the house as a guest another day. ”
Mingzhu laughed twice, forcibly endured the hunger that made her almost crazy, and set her eyes on Aunt Mu beside the Empress Dowager. Aunt Mu received her signal, nodded at her quietly, and pointed to the north.
Mingzhu sat for a while, pretending to go to the toilet, leaving Mama Zheng to watch her things next to her seat, and took Su Lan and Dong Hui to the north. To the north is Jianzhang Palace, no one lives for the time being, only a few old eunuchs and palace people guard, such a cold weather is hiding in the house to roast the fire, no one comes out.
Mingzhu didn't go in, so he stopped in the mezzanine outside Jianzhang Palace, stuffed two pieces of pastries he brought to his mouth to satisfy his hunger, and waited for Aunt Mu to arrive.
It didn't take long for Aunt Mu to rush over and say with a smile: "There are too many things, I can't get away, I can't stay for a long time, I'm afraid that my mother will find someone." ”
Mingzhu got straight to the point: "I found out at home, and the matter of the gluttonous building last time seems to be related to the side of King Zhongshan." Soon it will be Niangniang's birthday, can my aunt try to get Niangniang to make an order to let the vassal kings from all over the country enter Beijing to congratulate? ”
Aunt Mu was taken aback, and she couldn't make up her mind: "This will is not good." ”
"Originally, I was supposed to tell my mother in person, but now in this situation, I'm afraid that my mother won't want to see me in private later. I have to ask my aunt for help. Mingzhu knew that she couldn't say such a simple few words, and Aunt Mu, who was always cautious, could only explain stubbornly: "Niangniang has lived in the palace for a long time, and some things may not be known. Isn't it the King of Zhongshan that the eldest princess of Longsheng relies on? Otherwise, where did she get the confidence? Taking a step back, the entry of the vassal king into Beijing is not without harm to the king of Si'en County. No matter what the mother thinks, it's better to pull out the nails on the outside first. ”
Aunt Mu was very clear about their aunt's and nephew's heart, but she couldn't influence the Empress Dowager's thoughts, so she had to say: "I managed to pass on the princess's words to Niangniang, and the princess should not be in a hurry to leave later, maybe Niangniang will summon you." ”
Mingzhu thanked her, and waited for Aunt Mu to leave before slowly returning to the banquet, Princess Huayang had already got another bird's nest soup and was eating happily: "You, you really don't have a mouthful, such a delicious thing, carefully stewed for you, you can't eat it, but it's cheaper for me." ”
Mingzhu smiled and joked with her: "Is there no shortage of your bowl of bird's nest soup in Huayang Palace?" Seeing that you are so greedy, you can't help it, don't you have it? ”
"How is that possible?" This bowl of bird's nest soup shortened the distance between Princess Huayang and Mingzhu, she approached Mingzhu and said to Mingzhu very embarrassedly: "We only had one last month. He scolded indignantly: "Those slutty vixens, stinky and shameless, really angered me one day, I will also learn from you, slap their big ears and shave, throw them into the water to soak, and then tie them up and give them away." ”
Mingzhu never knew that Princess Huayang was such a wonderful person, she was amused by her, and before she laughed enough, Princess Huayang cried again, ate a big mouthful of bird's nest soup, shook her head and said dejectedly: "Forget it, the same person has the same fate, if we can carry it as well as your family, I will not fall to this point." ”
Mingzhu has also seen the two side concubines of the king of Huayang, and in her opinion, she is far less talented than the princess of Huayang, but the things between husband and wife are not that whoever looks good and attracts people will definitely be liked by the other party. She could only give Princess Huayang an idea: "Let's try it first, having a son is the key." ”
"You're right, my son can be trusted." Princess Huayang ate the bird's nest soup in one go, and she still looked unsatisfied.
Mingzhu really suspected that Princess Huayang had it, and was about to remind her to be careful again, when she suddenly saw Yu Wenxue coming over and saluting her: "Princess Ying." ”
Mingzhu smiled and bowed her head lightly: "Princess Changqing." ”
"Can you take a step to speak?" Yu Wenxue looked directly at Mingzhu, sounding like she was asking for her opinion, but in fact, she looked like she couldn't refuse.
Mingzhu smiled indifferently: "I'm sorry, I just got a body, and my reaction is a bit big, and I don't really want to go out to blow a cool breeze." She wanted to persuade Yu Wenxue not to go to Wusun, but Yu Wenxue had to go desperately, what are you coming to her for now? If you want to borrow a step to talk to her, she will agree? How can it be so cheap?
Yuwen Xue's eyes turned red, and she tilted her head to the side and endured it for a while before turning her head again and whispering, "Please." ”
Mingzhu didn't want to ignore her, but thinking of the change she might bring to the Fu family, she still got up and walked aside: "Say it." ”
Yu Wenxue said in a low voice: "I know that you pity me and don't want me to go to Wusun." But I can't help it, I just stay and wait to die, I don't want to. I work hard, at least it's better than being married to someone indiscriminately and pinching it in the hands of others all my life, and I can earn a way for my brother to live. ”
Mingzhu said that she didn't pity Yu Wenxue, but she didn't want Yu Wenxue to harm people, and Yu Wenxue didn't listen to her obstruction, and always ran desperately towards the road of death, but the words always picked up and said: "Then congratulations, you earned it." ”
