Chapter 133: Bribery
"Queen Mother, Miss Ning has arrived."
"Come in."
This is Ning Qiuyue's first visit to Kunning Palace.
Although everything here is not as brilliant as Wan Guifei's Nangong, the furnishings and layout of the room show a dignified atmosphere everywhere, which has a different feeling.
"Say hello to the Queen."
Ning Qiuyue didn't know much about the rules in the palace, but she only knew that when she met someone who was more powerful than herself and had a higher status than herself, she had to curtsy. If you meet someone with a lower status than yourself, or someone of the same generation, you don't have to be so troublesome. But it seems that except for those palace maids and eunuchs, there is no one with a lower status than himself. So I knelt around all day, and my days were too sad.
"Don't salute, come and sit."
This time, the queen's attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees, she was not only amiable to Ning Qiuyue, but also made an exception to let her sit beside her.
The extremely suspicious enthusiasm of the queen opposite, Ning Qiuyue warned herself in her heart to stay calm at all times.
She doesn't like places like the palace, and she doesn't like the women fighting around in the palace, and she doesn't like the bunch of in the palace.
"Queen Mother, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
"This ......" Empress Wu Yashi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. Vegetarian heart, serve first. ”
"Yes, Queen." Su Xin skillfully clapped his hands, and a group of little palace maids came out, each holding a plate in his hand.
The aroma of the food is instantaneous.
"Little girl, don't be nervous, let's talk while eating." She said vigorously beckoning Ning Qiuyue to come and sit, looking like a warm aunt at the entrance of the village. "I heard Grandpa Wei say that you are the girl who stopped the prince from leaving the city army that day, right?"
"Yes." Ning Qiuyue replied calmly.
"It seems that I didn't find the wrong person, come on, come on, try these pastries to your liking first." Wu Yashi was still smiling, and even personally prepared vegetables for Ning Qiuyue. "I invited you here to thank you, and thanks to you that day, the sachet embroidered by the palace himself was able to be transferred to the prince."
"Queen Mother, you are serious."
Looking at the table of delicacies, Ning Qiuyue's heart moved.
She can resist all the rhetoric in the world, but she can't resist the temptation of food.
Why don't you sit down and eat something first?
Anyway, I did help the queen and the crown prince, and it shouldn't be a big deal to eat a little queen food.
"Then you're welcome?" Ning Qiuyue rubbed and rubbed to the side of the dining table.
The queen smiled and pulled her to sit down, "Eat, child, these are for you." ”
Saying that, she first sandwiched a chopsticks to the unique palace abalone cup in the palace, "Come and try this, I love to eat it on weekdays and drink millet porridge." ”
"Thanks, I'll do it myself." Ning Qiuyue was raised by her master since she was a child, and although she is usually rough, she still understands the etiquette at the table. When someone gives her food, you must first express your gratitude, and whether it suits your taste or not, it is best to finish it.
As soon as I took a bite, the unique fatty taste of abalone immediately filled my mouth. "Well, it's really delicious."
"It's delicious, you eat slowly, and after eating, I'll tell the imperial dining room to make it again."
"Uh-huh."
Foodies are really foodies, and as soon as they see food, they relax about everything.
Wu Yashi saw that she was eating hard, and when she saw the opportunity, she asked, "Little girl, are you tired of being an errand in the palace of Wan Guifei?" I think you're a lot thinner than you used to be. ”
"I'm not tired, but the amount of food in this palace is too small, and I have to eat at least three people's meals to be full."
Is it? This little girl is so edible?
Well, indeed, looking at the way she eats, it is true that she does not look like a lady.
It seems that Ning Yinde usually raises her completely as a boy.
Wu Yashi pursed her lips in disgust, she didn't like such a girl, it was too ungentle.
"I heard that you were specially invited to the palace by Concubine Wan to secure her baby, and the palace remembered that her brother-in-law had a big belly recently, and the situation was similar to Concubine Wan. No, her body is weaker than Wan Guifei, I don't know if you have any good ways to give birth to me, and I will teach her when I am empty. ”
Ning Qiuyue puffed out her cheeks and brushed the hair hanging down her forehead. "It's best to find a doctor for this kind of thing, my methods are not suitable for people of your dynasty."
Wu Yashi: "What? ”
She was confused by Ning Qiuyue's words, what is it called a person from our dynasty?
Ning Qiuyue blinked weakly, "Did I just say something that shouldn't have been said?" ”
Afraid that Ning Qiuyue would become cautious again, Wu Yashi immediately smiled and said, "No, come on, child, this is delicious, eat more." ”
"Well, it's delicious." With the food in her stomach, Ning Qiuyue really became "heartless and lungless" again.
"That, was Wan Guifei a baby boy or a baby girl last night?" Wu Yashi deliberately asked a sentence in the sky and a sentence on the ground.
"It's a man...... What is the name of this dish on the blue plate? It looks so new. Fortunately, Ning Qiuyue reacted in time and almost fell into the queen's trap.
If you directly say the gender of the child, isn't it equivalent to directly exposing that Wan Guifei had "born" a baby last night?
Damn it, I almost killed Wan Guifei.
"Blue plates?" Wu Ya's eyes focused on the plate of Ruyi cake, which was called a blue plate by Ning Qiuyue because it was served on a blue and white porcelain plate.
"It's a ruyi cake, mainly made of glutinous rice flour and shell sesame seeds."
"Well, it tastes pretty good. I saw my sister Ning Yunyao do this thing once, and at that time, I looked at this thing as unremarkable, so I didn't eat a bite. When I ate it in my mouth today, I didn't expect it to be so sweet and delicious. Ning Qiuyue said and stuffed a few more in her mouth, "Does the queen know my sister?" It's the girl who got married to Marquis Wan, and her cooking skills are also excellent, like the pastries on this table, she can basically make ......"
Wu Yashi frowned, this little girl is quite capable of going around in circles. I talked to her about Wan Guifei, but she was involved in her sister. It seems that she can only be hard.
"Suxin."
"Yes."
"Take these dishes down, I have something serious to talk to Miss Ning."
"Yes."
"Business? What's the matter? Didn't you invite me to dinner, Queen? Seeing the dishes in front of her being served away, she quickly grabbed a few wishful cakes in her hands.
Wu Yashi stood up and returned to his phoenix seat. Playing with nail covers made of gold and precious stones, he smiled coldly.
"Ning Qiuyue, I have a very important matter to hand over to you now. Can you do it? ”
Ning Qiuyue shook her head, "I can't do it well, so don't explain it to me." ”
Wu Yashi: "You! Come on, get out, and hit the forty boards first! ”
"Wait a minute. I think I should be up to the task, you just say what's going on. ”
