Chapter 423: Fried Rice Balls (6)
But fortunately, neither Lin Fei nor Bai Zhu made a big fuss about this matter and invalidated the testimony of the girl surnamed Wen.
Zhang Rang calmed down a little, his expression softened a little, and said: "In short, Zhang has reason to suspect that Grandpa Guo may be related to these two cases. Of course, everything pays attention to evidence, without evidence, Zhang will not take the grandfather of the country. After that, he turned to Wen Mingtang again, "Miss Wen's testimony has been recorded, but what are the omissions?" ”
Wen Mingtang shook his head and said, "None." ”
She was only sent to bring a tea and refreshment, and she saw that scene outside the hall, and as for the side, she didn't know anything.
After Zhang Rang finished asking her, he turned his head and asked Lin Fei and Bai Zhu: "What else do you two have to ask her?" ”
The two shook their heads.
Seeing this, Zhang Rang turned to Wen Mingtang again and said, "In this case, you can go back to the queen's mother, a place like the murder scene is boring for you!" ”
Zhang Rang said that it was like a roundworm in her stomach and knew what she thought, and she was afraid that it was false for her sake, lest she had more contact with Bai Zhu and Lin Fei, and it would be true to change her testimony.
Wen Mingtang felt that some of Zhang Rang's methods were really excessive, but as long as he was reasonable, he couldn't find anything wrong, so he lowered his head and said, "Yes!" ”
……
After leaving the Qianyuan Palace, he returned to the queen's palace to visit the queen's mother.
Although most of the news here in the Qianyuan Hall has already reached the queen's ears, Wen Mingtang still told the story of the incident, after all, ...... The tea that was ordered was not delivered.
After she finished talking about the affairs of the Qianyuan Palace, she looked up at the queen, but saw that the queen was frowning, and the expression on her face was full of confusion and puzzlement: "Could it be that the things in the Qianyuan Palace were done by Concubine Jing's people?" This palace originally thought that she wanted you to send refreshments to you, but she didn't think that it was actually aimed at the Yasukuni Gong! ”
When Wen Mingtang heard this, his eyes flashed, and he followed her words: "Concubine Jing's arrangement is really powerful, so it is difficult for Grandpa Guo to argue." ”
Before the truth was revealed, even if she had a good impression of the queen, she didn't dare to believe it all. This is an instinct that has been practiced in the palace for many years.
The queen nodded, picked up the teacup in her hand and took a sip, and then said: "Since the tea has not been delivered today, then let's go again in two days, left and right, Grandpa Guo is afraid that he will have to stay in the palace for some time." ”
When Wen Mingtang heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he originally thought that he would be able to leave the palace on the Shangyuan Festival, but now, I am afraid that the day of leaving the palace will be postponed.
But fortunately, Xinyue did not break her promise, and soon after she returned to the queen's palace, Zhao Sishan was released, and when the twilight was approaching, Wen Mingtang watched her go out of the palace with his own eyes, and this heart fell to the ground.
After Zhao Sishan left the palace, Wen Mingtang had no scruples, and only waited for two days to send tea to Grandpa Guo before leaving the palace.
When Wen Mingtang returned to the small kitchen after sending Zhao Sishan back, the two palace maids were already holding a plate of rice balls that had been fried into a golden brown appearance, looking forward to her: "Master Wen, you can taste it!" ”
The palace maid who was specially selected by the queen to work in the small kitchen is obviously smart, and her cooking skills are good, so it is not difficult to make this fried rice ball after making steamed buns.
Wen Mingtang glanced at the sesame fillings that had not yet been wiped clean from the corners of the mouths of the two palace maids, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "How many times have you done it?" ”
The two palace maids' faces turned red when they heard this, but they still flattened the shape of the plate that they blocked behind them, and a few of them also burst open and took out the fried rice balls, and said, "Although it is simple." Master Wen also reminded me not to wait for a big fire, to fish it out in time, but to really do it in the end I have to try a few times, this plate is not very good, it will go into my stomach, and the better ones will be sent to the queen mother! ”
……
The twilight meal is a small plate or two as usual, full of food tables, but there is no Jade Rabbit rice cake before. Wen Mingtang subconsciously looked at his hand when he raised his chopsticks: The news that Concubine Jing might be pregnant was that Zhao Sishan took her hand and wrote it in her palm under Xinyue's nose through the cover of her sleeve, and Wen Mingtang also took the opportunity to stuff the jade rabbit rice cake made by Zhao Sishan to her at that time.
Although being locked up in Concubine Jing did not make Zhao Sishan hungry, the treatment was really not good, after all, Zhao Sishan was imprisoned to take care of Wen Mingtang, but he was not invited by Concubine Jing to be a guest. As soon as Wen Mingtang entered Zhao Sishan, he smelled a somewhat sour smell.
Thinking of this, Wen Mingtang couldn't help but sigh: This Concubine Jing really doesn't even want to do it, just showing her meanness so unscrupulously.
It's not that Wen Mingtang has never seen such a master in the palace, it's just that ordinary masters of this kind don't live long, but Concubine Jing survived the death of the first emperor, which shows that even if her brain is not smart, she can't bear it in a low-key manner.
It was the new emperor who ascended the throne, once he gained power, and was suppressed for a long time to fight back, is this Concubine Jing's actions too arrogant? It's kind of a feeling of ignoring it completely. What's more, she is very likely to be pregnant right now.
Wen Mingtang was really puzzled, what was this Concubine Jing's so proud reliance? Is it just the new emperor's adoptive mother?
Wen Mingtang in this room was eating the twilight food on the plate while thinking about Concubine Jing, she was in the palace and had nothing to do, so she couldn't help but think about the abnormalities of Concubine Jing, although she was resting in her own palace, she was dressed quite exquisitely, and she also painted a flower on her eyebrows. Concubine Jing has more decoration on her face than even the queen......
Compared with Wen Mingtang's nowhere to do, the new emperor was busy until he had to go back to the harem to see the queen when he had dinner at dusk.
Because they wanted to talk about things, they retreated, and the emperor and queen sat in front of the desk and ate twilight like ordinary couples.
The delicacies on the table tasted good, but for the two of them, they were not fresh, but a plate of food in the corner with a golden appearance and a round appearance aroused the interest of Xindi.
"What is this?" Compared with the delicate appearance of the snacks on the plate on the side, this round "golden ball" is much more down-to-earth.
When he was the prince, he also suffered a lot, but the new emperor did not have the preference of not touching the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but was quite interested in such novel and interesting food, otherwise, he would not bring Lin Fei's heart to the queen.
"Fried rice balls." The queen smiled and said, "The two girls in the small kitchen were hurriedly sent over after being made under Master Wen's order." I tasted it, it tasted good, and I stayed. ”
"Oh?" As soon as these words came out, the new emperor lowered his eyebrows, and then raised his chopsticks with great interest and went to the plate of fried rice balls.
Looking at the actions of the new emperor, the smile on the queen's face softened a lot, he first ascended the throne, there were many things in the previous dynasty, and it was the most comfortable time for the two of them to sit and talk about each other like ordinary people and husbands and wives at dusk.
It's just that...... Today's incident really caught her off guard, and she said that she wanted to ask her husband, the monarch of the world, Yasukuni Gong next to her...... But there was interference, but she borrowed her hand to deceive and coax the Wen girl.
