Chapter Twenty-Nine: An Old Man Outside the House Is Leaning on the Wall and Eavesdropping
"Just to wait for the white moonlight with you, after swimming through the four seasons, the lotus flowers are still fragrant, waiting for you to be in the middle of the water...... Moonlight, moonlight, you listen slowly, fish, fish, you swim slowly......"
Qiu Tian watched the queen eat the first spoonful of golden silk and jade fish soup with a smile, then stopped singing and hurriedly asked, "How does it taste?" ”
If the taste is not good, she has a reason to go out of the palace and go back to the house to avoid the limelight, but the queen's smiling face showed a trace of consternation, and then hurriedly ate the second spoonful, Qiu Tian looked at the queen intently and looked at Mama Qiu beside her, her eyes full of curiosity. Mama Qiu wiped the corners of her eyes with emotion, "Queen Mother, your appetite is open." Queen Mother, the appetite is open......"
Mama Qiu was so excited that she kept rereading the sentence "Queen Mother, the appetite is open", which made Qiu Tianzhang Er scratch her head, and the queen ate a small half bowl in one breath before stopping, "This golden silk and silver wisp fish rice soup tastes excellent, and the cotton and smooth soup is full of umami." ”
The queen scooped up the fish and rice soup in the bowl, looked at the floating and heavy little fish and rice swimming happily like Qiu Tian's singing little fish, and suddenly her eyes were full of tenderness, "This little fish and rice are very floating and playful, the fish is not only tender but also a little crispy, the taste is very playful, as playful and cute as a small fish." ”
"This flavor is only made by my brother, and now Xiao Jiu, you have also made it." The queen stirred the fish and rice soup in the bowl with emotion, "My brother taught you?" ”
Qiu Tian hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Auntie!" Why don't you have a good dinner? ”
"I don't regret the gradual widening of the belt. For the sake of Iraq, the people are haggard. The queen looked up at the self-portrait opposite in disappointment and smiled bitterly, "It's okay!" Isn't there a little nine in this palace, are you? ”
"Yes!" Qiu Tian hurriedly replied, but with sharp eyes, she still found that the queen's self-portrait was not covered with the painter's seal, but the seal of the jade seal and a long string of dragons and phoenixes, and she couldn't see the inscription of a word.
These details are enough for her to understand that the queen's infatuation is wrongly paid to the amorous emperor, so she is willing to suffer from the deceitful palace fights in the deep palace and the favor of new people from generation to generation.
"As long as I am in the palace for one day, I will be responsible for my aunt's food." Qiu Tian patted her chest and volunteered to take on the queen's three meals, and the queen smiled and told her to hurry up and eat the food while it was hot.
Suddenly, a wail came from outside the hospital, "Ouch-"
Everyone in the camera hall was stunned, Qiu Tian hurriedly walked out of the hall to the gate to check, but when Qiu Tian came to the door, he found that only messy footprints were left on the snow pile at the door, and there were two black shadows fleeing in the distance, "Which bastard who doesn't know what to do, even peeped into the queen's mother's bedroom, I'm afraid it's a long life......"
Qiu Tian already hated the deceitful atmosphere in the deep palace, but now even the queen's bedroom has someone peeping, she was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves angrily and wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by the queen, "Xiao Jiu, don't chase it!" ”
"Auntie, do you know who it is?" Qiu Tian looked at the queen suspiciously, and the queen shook her head, but as Mama Li picked up a jade plate and sent it to the queen, she looked at her with a solemn expression, "Niangniang! You see......"
Qiu Tian then looked at the green, transparent and round jade plate in Mama Li's hand in the dim light, with a dragon with teeth and claws carved on it.
"Mama Li, put it away!" The queen looked up at the direction where the black shadow disappeared, and Qiu Tian was even more puzzled, "Auntie, do you know this person?" ”
"You know each other, too!" The queen replied to the question as she returned to the palace.
"Auntie, who is that?"
"You'll find out later!"
"Auntie, why do people you know want to peep on the wall?"
The queen was stunned for a moment, and chuckled, "This palace also wants to know!" ”
"Could it be that I offended Concubine Zhao here today, and Concubine Zhao sent someone to spy on me?" Qiu Tian couldn't help but be afraid for a moment when she thought of her somewhat audacious behavior today, but when she saw the queen's expression, she asked in disbelief, "Isn't it?" ”
"Concubine Zhao is arrogant and domineering, and it is only a matter of time before she hits the south wall and suffers a big loss, but today she paid attention to you, that is, she didn't know her position clearly, and she deserves to suffer this loss!" The queen said indifferently, and then she took Qiu Tian's hand, "Tonight, Xiao Jiu will sleep with this palace!" ”
"Huh?" Qiu Tian frowned, "Niangniang, I'm snoring......"
"It's okay!"
"The purring sound is as loud as thunder!"
"This palace is afraid of ......" The queen couldn't help but hold her head weakly, and looked at Qiu Tian pitifully, Qiu Tian closed her eyes helplessly, "The courtiers obey!" ”
"Xiao Jiu, what do you want to eat tomorrow?"
Qiu Tian frowned and asked, "I didn't expect that my aunt would rest early, and she would know tomorrow ......"
"Hmmm! Hongu waits......" The queen nodded like a good doll.
On the other hand, on the side of the old emperor who fled in embarrassment, the old eunuch hurriedly patted the snow off his body and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, is there a fall injury on the dragon's body?" ”
He looked at the old emperor and said silently, "Why don't you ...... Our family heirloom imperial doctor will give you ...... Check the dragon body? ”
"Bastard!" The old emperor shouted angrily, but the next moment he grinned and covered his waist, "If you let the world know that I can't enter the Luxury Fragrance Palace, but instead lie on the wall and peek at the queen, wouldn't it be a joke?" ”
"Yes, yes...... It's our stupidity that doesn't take this into account! The old eunuch hurriedly helped the old emperor, and the old emperor glanced back at the direction of the Luxury Fragrance Palace, sighed lightly and said, "Fuquan!" You said that let the queen admit her mistake and say a soft word, what's wrong? ”
The old eunuch named Fuquan looked at the old emperor without saying anything: "Your Majesty ......"
"I haven't been to the Luxury Fragrance Hall for a month, and the queen doesn't know how to be sympathetic to me......" The more the old emperor thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, but he muttered again: "Fortunately, I called Xiao Qiu Tian, the little demon king of the mixed world, back, and it was lively......"
"Your Majesty!" Fuquan called out to the old emperor in a low voice, and the old emperor flicked his sleeves impatiently, "What are you doing?" ”
"Your Majesty, this is the way to the imperial study, not to Concubine Zhao's Puxi Palace." Fuquan whispered to the old emperor that he had taken the wrong path, but the old emperor frowned impatiently, "I'm annoyed!" ”
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... If you don't go, I'm afraid you'll ......."
The old emperor glared at Fuquan, "You old stubborn donkey, you force me to go to these places every day, why don't you help me find a reason to go to the Luxury Fragrance Hall to take a turn?" ”
Fuquan pulled it and said with a smile: "Our family doesn't dare!" At that time, His Majesty said angrily, if our family finds a reason to let you go, it will be against the holy decree, and you will lose your head......"
"At that time, I was angry, and you didn't know how to stop it?" The old emperor was angry and kicked Fuquan, who staggered and fell to the ground, "Your Majesty, you kick the slave to death!" It's a minion who didn't stop ......"
The old emperor looked at Fuquan, gritted his teeth, flicked his sleeves, turned around and turned onto the nearby path leading to Puxi Palace, and shouted as he walked: "Fuquan, hurry up and follow!" ”
Fuquan got up, shook the snow off his body, and looked at His Majesty's back, "Yes!" We're catching up with ...... now."
If it weren't for Concubine Zhao's younger brother to lead the troops to recover the mountain bandits in the near future, he would not have gone to Concubine Zhao's Puxi Palace for a month to eat a dish with a taste, and Concubine Zhao either invited the stage to sing at dinner, or sang a one-man show there, and the most peaceful thing was to let Zhao Er accompany him.
Now the old emperor misses the peaceful time when the queen is with him for dinner, but in the end, it turns into a helpless sigh and dissipates in the cold winter night.
In the Puxi Palace, it has changed from the bustle of the past, but it has become a little more deserted.
In the small room where Mama Ji lived, Concubine Zhao looked at Mama Ji lying on the bed distressedly, "Mama Ji, does it still hurt?" ”
"No...... No...... It hurts ......" Mama Ji replied with difficulty, and Concubine Zhao hurriedly asked her not to answer, but turned her head and scolded the little palace maid: "If you don't take care of Mama Ji, then raise your head and take the palace." ”
The little palace maid was frightened and hurriedly nodded in agreement, and carefully gave Mama Ji the medicine.
"Mother...... Mother ......" Mama Ji looked up at Concubine Zhao with gratefulness and shouted with difficulty, but she had already broken the corpses of Qiu Tian and the queen thousands of times in her heart, Concubine Zhao held Mama Ji's hand tightly, "Don't worry, rest well during this time, this palace will get justice for you." ”
"Thank you...... Thank...... Xie Niangniang...... Kindness...... Grace...... ...... "Mama Ji got up from the bed weakly and bowed down to Concubine Zhao, and the little palace maids who were serving her also hurriedly knelt on the ground when they saw this.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, and Mama Zhao, who had been silent, saw it and shouted at the top of her voice: "What kind of body is frizzy in front of the mother!" ”
"Ask for forgiveness! Ask for forgiveness! The palace maid who rushed to deliver the news knelt directly on the ground, and Concubine Zhao straightened her clothes, "In the Puxi Palace, what made you panic and lose your sense of proportion in front of the palace?" ”
The palace maid lowered her head and hurriedly announced, "Niangniang, Your Majesty has arrived at Puxi Palace, and is now waiting for you in Qingluan Palace." ”
"Hongu knows!" Concubine Zhao nodded expectedly, and then asked Mama Zhao as if she was talking to herself, "Mama Zhao, what do you think you will arrange for Your Majesty tonight?" ”
"Niangniang is beautiful and beautiful, as graceful and luxurious as the king of flowers, peony, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all complete, why don't you play a pipa song for the emperor tonight?" Mama Zhao helped Concubine Zhao carefully out of Mama Ji's small and narrow room.
But just as Concubine Zhao changed into clothes and went to Qingluan Palace, she only saw Fuquan alone.
"Father-in-law Fu, why are you the only one? Where has Your Majesty gone? Concubine Zhao looked left and right, wanting to find the figure of the old emperor in the unobstructed Qingluan Palace, but how could Fuquan, who was a human spirit, not know his intentions, but when he thought that His Majesty saw the imperial meal tonight a quarter of an hour ago, he felt tasteless, and even heard the bold and reckless discussions of the palace people outside the Qingluan Palace, and learned that the reason why the queen was angry today was actually the handiwork of Concubine Zhao, and immediately flicked his sleeves and left, leaving Fuquan here.
"If you go back to your mother, Your Majesty has returned to the imperial study." Fuquan saluted Concubine Zhao respectfully, "Please also ask Niangniang to be more considerate of Your Majesty, the state affairs are busy!" ”
Concubine Zhao forced a smile, "Your Majesty is the king of a country, and he will definitely be busy for the society, so the concubines will naturally wait quietly here." Father-in-law Lao Fu passed a message to His Majesty: No matter how late it is, the concubine will definitely wait for His Majesty to come to Puxi Palace. ”
"Yes!" Fuquan saluted Concubine Zhao, "Since Niangniang knows that Your Majesty has returned to the imperial study, our family will now rush back to the imperial study to serve Your Majesty." ”
"Niangniang, let's retire first!" Fuquan didn't wait for Concubine Zhao to say something to him, so he hurriedly left Puxi Palace, and he hurried to the place he wanted in his heart.
He expected that His Majesty would not return to the imperial study, but would go......
