Chapter 35: A Narrow Victory
readx;? Hua Yueman stood up while smoking: "The queen mother misunderstood, I started to eat those pigeons in my small kitchen last night, and after pausing all night, I added some fresh and tender tofu to it after the meat was melted." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
As she spoke, she deliberately spooned the bottom of the tofu, the only pigeon skeleton left from yesterday.
The queen frowned: "So the crown princess means that the health pigeon, which is only paid tribute once a year, will be boiled into a full pot of tofu in the end?"
Hua Yueman nodded sincerely: "The queen mother doesn't know, I specially asked the health master in the imperial dining room yesterday, and he said that the best way to maintain health is to be able to make meat into soup, because the soup can be better absorbed by the body." β
Qiqiao touched her heart that was about to jump out of her throat, her mother's ability to talk nonsense, do you want to be caught like this?
She did say yesterday that there was a health master in the imperial dining room, but when did her mother ask?
Hua Yueman dared to say that it was expected that the current chaos would be like this, and the Queen Mother had no time to find a health master to confront her.
The Queen Mother clicked her mouth suspiciously: "This bone is indeed a healthy pigeon, but why didn't I drink the taste of a healthy pigeon?"
When a pigeon has a pot of soup that is about to be filled, where can it taste like it?
Although Hua Yueman knew it, he looked at Liu Xi: "After I entered the palace, I have always heard others say that the five princes have the most unique ability to appreciate food, I don't know if the five princes have drunk it?"
When the Queen Mother heard this, she also looked at Liu Xi, as if the Queen Mother believed this bowl of soup or not, it depended on Liu Xi's answer.
Liu Xi didn't expect Hua Yueman to ask him, and he was a little stunned for a while.
Hua Yueman was not in a hurry, and waited patiently, she was not begging him for help now, but ordering him to help.
Now this Qinyang Palace is full of palace maids and eunuchs, as well as the queen and the queen mother, if he said that he didn't drink it, and he was executed because of this, if this matter reached Liu Mo's ears, he would not have a better time in the future.
Even if Liu Mo hates her, in the eyes of everyone, she is Liu Mo's woman, and Liu Mo wants to turn his face with Liu Xi even for the sake of face.
She bet, bet that Liu Xi was unwilling and did not dare to have a head-on conflict with Liu Mo.
Liu Xi looked at her pair of eyes that were still full of tears, but there was no trace of fear and panic, pleading for helplessness, but with eyes full of revenge and hesitation.
It turned out that she was taking revenge for what she said last night.
He told her to ask her for help, and instead of asking, she now explicitly ordered him to help, otherwise she would be dying.
Slowly, he smiled, for he had to admit that it was indeed a brilliant calculation.
"This soup does have the taste of a healthy pigeon. He slowly opened his mouth, and his sharp gaze swept over the full moon, "The queen mother drinks lightly, because she hasn't drunk the soup that is used to boiling meat, and her grandson does drink it in the house from time to time, because this soup is the most nourishing." β
The Queen Mother nodded: "No wonder, it's still the tongue of the five kings." She said, and looked at the queen again, "The queen has tasted it?"
The queen thought about it and smiled unwillingly: "The taste is indeed lighter, if the concubine doesn't taste it carefully, she really can't taste it." β
The five princes have already said to drink it, and the queen mother's expression should have been believed, if she insists that she can't drink it at this time, I'm afraid that it will make people think that she has bad intentions for Hua Yueman.
The Queen Mother smiled and took Hua Yueman's hand: "It's really hard for your intentions, but next time if you want to make soup for the mourning family, just say it directly, otherwise there will be a misunderstanding like today, wouldn't it frighten the mourning family?"
Hua Yueman smiled sweetly: "What the imperial grandmother taught me is that my granddaughter-in-law remembered." β
Fortunately, the head on her neck was finally saved.
At this time, Qiqiao was considered to be a soul, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, almost crying with excitement.
Mother, I really scared her to death......
The queen mother didn't know if she felt sorry for the pigeons, or if she really thought the tofu soup was delicious, until she drank all the soup that could be called a pot, and then she said that she was tired.
Seeing the queen mother enter the back room, the queen said condescendingly: "The princess's wedding has already passed three days, and the palace has not been in good health for you, so I never let you go to the Yonggu Palace to ask for peace, but in the long run, it is inevitable that people will be left behind. β
Hua Yueman never thought that there would be such a statement, wouldn't it be just dawn before the hour? But Rao had already inserted more than 180 knives into the queen in her heart, and she still bent her knees.
"Don't worry, the queen mother, the concubine will go to greet you from tomorrow. "By the way, pray that you are struck by lightning!
The queen saw that she responded properly and her attitude was also modest, and now that the fifth prince was still there, it was not good to find fault too much, so she said "En", and with the support of the palace maid, she staggered out of Qinyang Palace.
Seeing the queen wandering out of the gate, Hua Yueman straightened up with a sigh of relief, and turned around to see Liu Xi looking at him uncertainly, afraid that Qiqiao would see something Ni Duan, so he had to send Qiqiao back to Weiyang Palace first.
It wasn't until everyone was gone that she and Liu Xi walked out of the gate of Qinyang Palace one after another.
There was no one near and far, Liu Xi opened his mouth with a smile: "I didn't expect the fourth sister-in-law to be so smart." β
Hua Yueman knew that he cared about what he threatened him, but she didn't care about it: "It's not smart to talk about, it's just that the rabbit is in a hurry and wants to bite people, let alone people?"
Although her life was in his hands, she was not waiting for him to ask for food as he threatened.
Even if she is one of his puppets, she should not look up at him, she should look at him at the same level, she must let this stinky snake spirit know, even if he wants to kill her, she must consider the consequences.
"Don't send it to the fifth prince, otherwise it will inevitably be gossip. Hua Yueman deliberately bit the word "gossip", and turned sideways to speed up his pace.
Liu Xi looked at her figure in a hurry, and hooked her slender lips meaninglessly: "Smart is smart, but not well-behaved." β
"What is the fifth brother looking at?"
Suddenly remembering a voice behind him, Liu Xi was stunned, and when he turned around, he had already sorted out his thoughts, and when he faced Liu Mo, he had become easy-going in the past.
"But I saw one of the more interesting things. β
Liu Mo glanced at the empty distance: "I don't know what is interesting or something, the fifth brother is willing to talk about it?"
Liu Xi pursed his lips and smiled: "It's okay to say it, but the fifth brother is only afraid that he has delayed the fourth brother's time, and the queen mother has been waiting for the fourth brother in the palace for more than a long time." β
