Chapter 52: Gone Away (Chicken)
Qiu Tian was stunned for a moment, turned her head and watched the third prince and the eldest prince leave quickly, while the second princess and the eighth prince breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Qiu Tian, "Xiao Jiu, let's go back quickly!" ”
"Good!" Qiu Tian nodded, taking advantage of the moment when the two of them walked forward, he looked back at the mysterious purple, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he muttered to himself, "Are you familiar with you?" ”
"Xiao Jiu! Hurry up and keep up! The second princess found that Qiu Tian didn't immediately follow and shouted, Qiu Tian hurriedly followed with a small step with the food box, Angelica looked at Qiu Tian and the third prince suspiciously, frowned, and said in her heart: The master is really difficult, and a strong opponent will appear so soon.
Luxury Fragrance Palace:
The three of them had just returned to the Luxury Fragrance Palace, and they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, but they didn't want to meet the smiling queen head-on, and the queen looked at the three of them with a smile, "Oh! Look, Yulu, why are you with Xiao Jiu? ”
Squatting, the second princess and the eighth prince looked at each other, and the queen frowned lightly when she saw this, "What's wrong?" I saw this palace with a weak face. ”
"Didn't you get into trouble?" The queen looked solemnly at the three of them with a numb heart, Qiu Tian stared at the numbness of the scalp, and sneered: "Queen Mother, why did you misunderstand us so much?" We just wandered around the palace and found something good on the edge of the river, do you want to see it? ”
She picked up the food box and leaned in front of the queen, who glanced at her angrily, "Really, didn't cause trouble?" ”
"Nope!" Qiu Tian covered her conscience and said, "How can I get into trouble!" ”
"Queen Mother, look at it, I have left and right protectors by my side, and they tell me all the time." Qiu Tian pretended to be aggrieved and frowned, the queen looked at the second princess and the eighth prince, her suspicious eyes suddenly became kind, and she gently poked Qiu Tian's head, "Now you find a little naughty, there are Zhan He and Yu Lu looking at you, reminding you that this palace is much more relieved." ”
"Queen Mother, why are you talking about me so naughty?" Qiu Tian frowned dissatisfiedly, while the queen smiled and patted her hand, "It's still early, you three can talk to the palace!" ”
"This ...... Not good! The second princess frowned stiffly with a smile, her eyes kept sweeping over the food box, and the eighth prince nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes...... The chickens inside can't wait. ”
Suddenly, the words of the eighth prince aroused the suspicion of the queen, "Chicken? ”
"That's right!" The eighth prince suddenly, covered his mouth, and hurriedly looked at Qiu Tian for help, and the second princess beside him unceremoniously punched him in the head, "Old eight, be rude in front of the queen mother." ”
The queen frowned and glanced at the stiff smile on Qiu Tian's face, "Xiao Jiu, didn't you say to go to the imperial dining room?" How can there be a chicken? ”
"Are you ......" Before the word trouble came out of the queen's mouth, the second princess replied with a smile: "Queen mother, dare to ask, am I a good child?" ”
The queen frowned displeased, but nodded, "You must be, knowledgeable, demure and elegant, if Xiao Jiu can learn from you, this palace will definitely cry with joy." ”
"Thanks to the teachings of the queen's mother, I will naturally be touched by my ears, and I will learn more and more by taking the queen's mother as an example." The second princess took a deep breath, "Now Xiao Jiu, naturally she wants to follow the example of the queen mother with me, and with the advice of the princess by her side, she will definitely not be as willful as before." ”
"Yes!" The eighth prince nodded in agreement, but was glared at by the second princess, and he silently closed his mouth.
"You said so much, but you haven't made it clear how this chicken came from?" The queen looked at the second princess and deliberately took her to "go to the garden", her brows furrowed, "That's how you got this chicken?" ”
"Forehead......" The second princess looked at Qiu Tian with a sad face, but Qiu Tian yawned very calmly at the moment, "Back to the queen's mother, this chicken is the ingredient for your majesty's delicacies tonight, and now it has been broken by these two big mouths, but there is no sense of mystery." ”
"Ingredients!" The queen suddenly realized, "Are you going to make chicken tonight?" ”
"Yes!" Qiu Tian handed the food box to Angelica, "Angelica, you send the chicken to the small kitchen first, and let Xiaoshizi return the chicken feathers." ”
"Yes!" Angelica immediately took the food box, the queen bowed her head, and said earnestly: "Xiao Jiu, don't blame the palace for not believing you, it's just ......"
"The courtiers understand that the queen mother has a hard conscience, and the courtiers in the past did misbehave, which broke the queen's heart." She paused, and helped the queen into the Luxury Fragrance Palace: "But now the courtiers have changed their hearts and faces, and they are no longer the Qiu Tian of the past, and please rest assured that the queen will give the courtiers some time to prove themselves." ”
"That's right! The queen mother gave Xiao Jiu some time to prove herself. The second princess watched the food box being carried by Angelica and left the courtyard of the Luxury Fragrance Palace, and hurriedly raised her mouth to comfort the queen, and the queen looked at the two of them with firm expressions and nodded, "Okay!" ”
"Yulu, why don't you go to the emperor's place to listen to the lecture today?" The queen sat on a high seat and looked at the eighth prince, and the eighth prince knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Back to the queen's mother, Erchen had a nightmare today, and he dreamed that Xiao Jiu had an accident, and he didn't feel at ease, so he came to the Luxury Fragrance Hall to find her to ensure her safety, and he happened to meet her who came back." ”
"Tsk!" The queen couldn't help but exclaim at the words of the eighth prince, "Why is the friendship between Yulu and you so deep?" ”
"Maybe it's because I see everyone loves me, and the flowers bloom, it's your little sun!" Qiu Tian cheekily boasted to herself, knowing that the matter of this brocade chicken food box was finally over, she glanced at the second princess, and then at the eighth prince who had successfully led the rhythm.
"Come on!" The queen glanced at Qiu Tian with a smile, "Mama Qiu gave the pastries that His Majesty gave to the children to eat!" ”
"How about you dine at the Hall of Luxury Incense tonight?" The queen smiled and Yan Yan sent out an invitation, the eyes of the second princess and the eighth prince lit up and hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking rice, Qiu Tian looked at the queen and recruited two more diners for herself, not only sighed that the queen had a delicate heart, but could detect that the two were coming for dinner, whether it was for the protagonist of dinner or the delicacies of dinner, she stayed in a grand manner, this open-mindedness really made her admire, and some sympathy for the queen who was too clear.
The three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't know that their food boxes had been stolen in the small kitchen.
Half an hour later, Qiu Tian withdrew from the Luxury Fragrance Hall on the pretext of preparing dinner materials, leaving the second princess and the eighth prince to accompany the queen, turned around and trotted back to the small kitchen.
Kitchenette:
She gasped lightly, looking at the sad-faced Angelica and the pebbles in her hands who didn't know how to place them, and a bad premonition suddenly flashed in her heart, "What's wrong?" ”
"Miss!" Angelica gritted his teeth, "Blame the slave for this!" Regardless of the pebble thing. ”
"Miss, I can't blame Sister Angelica for this, it's that I didn't check it out immediately, except for the fork." Xiaoshizi knelt on the ground with a "poof", "Xiaoshizi is to blame for this matter, and I beg Miss to punish me!" ”
"That's not it!" Angelica is like a pebble kneeling on the ground, "If it weren't for the slave maid who was in a hurry to go to the thatched house and didn't see the pebble check with his own eyes, this incident would not have happened." ”
"What the hell is going on?"
Qiu Tian watched the two of them stop each other, and knelt on the ground to ask for punishment, which made her confused, "Angelica, you make this matter clear!" ”
"Yes! Slaves obey! Angelica blamed herself and said: "The slave maid carried the food box to the small kitchen, and it happened that people were in three urgies, so they put the food box on the table and asked Xiaoshizi to check it." ”
"At that time, when Sister Angelica was called a slave, the slave made a fire at the stove." Xiaoshizi pointed to the stove, "I wanted to finish the stove and check it out." Who wants to ......"
"Who would have thought that in such a time of tea, the chicken in the food box is gone." Angelica took a deep breath and said, "Miss, it's really just a cup of tea, and the chicken is gone." ”
"The slave and Sister Angelica have searched the small kitchen several times inside and out, but they have not found any trace of the chicken."
"Ask Miss to punish!"
"Miss Qiu scolds ......"
Qiu Tian was stunned and gasped, as she expected, something bad happened.
In his own place, the chicken disappeared.
She walked to the table and looked at the food box as if it were unharmed, and there were no scratches on the inside, not like the brocade chicken that had come back from the dead, broke free from the food box and fled.
But the origin of this chicken, if it weren't for the three of them, no one would know that this was Concubine Zhao's chicken.
If you don't have a little eyesight, you won't know the chicken of this tribute, at most you will think that it is a better chicken with beautiful coats.
The only thing that can be explained now is that the queen stole the chickens except for the inner ghost.
She frowned and glanced at the small kitchen, "Little Pebble, do you think back to what the scene was like?" ”
Xiao Shizi's brows furrowed into the word "well", and he fell into deep thought, "At that time, the slave was blowing fire, and Sister Angelica hurriedly came to put down the food box, and then left in a hurry, nothing unusual." But ......"
"But?" Qiu Tian's voice mentioned, "But what? ”
Xiao Shizi frowned and tried to remember, Angelica knocked his head impatiently, "What kind of appetite to hang?" Hurry up! ”
"At that time, it seemed that a strange wind was blowing through the neck of the minion......" Xiao Shizi grinned in pain, glared at Angelica and said, but the next second suddenly realized, "Is it possible...... Could it be the ...... who died tragically in the palace?"
"Shut up!" Qiu Tian scolded sharply, "The palace holy land is the most majestic place in the world, don't continue to talk nonsense." ”
Xiaoshizi twitched his mouth slightly, "Yes!" ”
Qiu Tian looked around the small kitchen again, and found that there were very few places to hide chickens, not to mention that the place had been swept countless times, but only the beam above her head had not been found.
So, she turned her heart across the beam and went up to find out.
"Pebble, bring me a ladder!"
"Yes!" Xiaoshizi was puzzled, but carried a ladder from the corner to Qiu Tian, who leaned the ladder against the beam of the small kitchen and carefully climbed the ladder.
This move frightened Angelica gasped and pinched his heart, "Miss, be careful!" ”
"Miss, if you don't come down, let the slave go up."
"Miss, Angelica is right, you come down first, it's dangerous up there!" Xiaoshizi raised his head and held the ladder solidly, for fear that the ladder would move inch by inch, "Miss......"
