Chapter 563 White fungus osmanthus cake
Last night, the emperor stayed in the Yun Concubine Palace, he has always had the habit of using supper, and last night's supper was also used in the Yun Concubine Palace.
In the supper that night, there was a dim sum that was white fungus osmanthus cake, which Yun Concubine personally ordered the imperial dining room to make.
The recipe for this white fungus osmanthus cake was brought by Yun Concubine from her mother's house, which is different from what is often made in the imperial dining room, and it is improved by Yun Concubine's mother's cook.
The imperial dining room did it several times, and the emperor liked it very much.
Therefore, tonight, the emperor stayed in the palace of Yun Concubine, and Yun Concubine specially instructed the imperial dining room to make this snack.
When the emperor saw this plate of white fungus osmanthus cake, he really had an appetite, and ate three pieces, but the other snacks were not moved.
During the day, these snacks left over by the emperor would be sent back to the imperial dining room, but at night, the palace people would disturb the emperor when they came and went, so these snacks were temporarily placed in the pantry.
Many concubines in the palace have cats, and Yun Concubine also has one, and today the emperor stays overnight, and the cat can no longer enter Yun Concubine's bedroom.
No one expected that the cat's corpse would be found outside the pantry in the morning.
When the emperor heard the news, he immediately called someone to come and check that the cat had died of poisoning, and on the snacks in the pantry, only the plate of white fungus osmanthus cake had traces of being eaten by the cat.
However, the plate of white fungus osmanthus cake had been tested for poison with silver needles before the emperor ate it, and some servants tasted it and made sure that it was not poisonous, so the emperor only ate it.
When the emperor said this, he sneered: "It seems that I should not die, there are nine pieces of dim sum on that plate, I ate three pieces, and four of the remaining six pieces are poisonous." And those four pieces were tried again with silver needles, and they were still non-toxic, and when they were tried with living creatures, they knew that they were poisonous. ”
Huo Yu asked, "Is the waiter who tested the poison last night still there?" ”
The emperor said lightly: "I have already committed suicide." ”
"Where is Concubine Yun?" Huo Yu asked again.
"Still in her palace", the emperor paused, and continued, "the queen asked her to copy the scriptures in the palace and burn them for the queen mother during the Qingming Festival. ”
Huo Yu understood, the emperor did not hide this matter from the queen, and the so-called letting Yun Concubine copy the scriptures for the Queen Mother was actually to put Yun Concubine and all the people in her palace under house arrest.
The emperor's gaze fell on Peanut again, and said to Huo Yu: "Concubine Yun, let Peanut go." ”
"Yes." Huo Yu bowed again and walked out with peanuts.
Yun Concubine's bedroom is relatively remote, on the way, Huo Yu whispered to Peanut: "Yun Concubine is not favored in the palace, in fact, there is no favorite concubine in the palace now, the saint is wet with rain and dew, there was once an emperor in the Yun concubine clan, who taught the saint for two years, and then begged for bones due to illness. ”
Peanut asked, "So now, is there still anyone in Concubine Yun's family who is an official in the court?" ”
"Yes, Concubine Yun's brother is currently the prefect of Jiangzhou, and her aunt is married to the former father-in-law of Wangfu Yin." Huo Yu patiently explained.
Peanut asked curiously: "The big and small ladies in the palace, can you tell their identities and origins?" ”
Huo Yu shook his head: "It's not all, only those who have been favored by the saint, the Flying Fish Guard will investigate their identities in detail." ”
The corners of Peanut's mouth twitched, as long as he thought that Feiyuwei had to enter the palace every day to inquire: Who was sleeping with the emperor last night?
Oh, what kind of concubine is that, go and find out, what do the people in this family do, and is there any possibility of rebellion. And the emperor goes up every night, looking at the beauties around him, and thinks about whether this beauty will harm him, and whether this beauty's family will harm him.
Just thinking about it, peanuts feel tasteless.
Everyone in the world wants to be an emperor, but if the emperor is worried about someone trying to harm me all day long, then it's quite boring.
Yun Concubine is a beautiful woman who is round and jade, Peanut has long discovered that at least eight out of ten beauties in the palace have this kind of appearance, and even the little queen has gradually grown in this direction.
Huo Yu told Peanut: "Just ask, don't get excited." ”
Peanut looked at Huo Yu like a fool, didn't this person think that he would interrogate Concubine Yun like a female prisoner in the Imperial Prison.
What is this man's head thinking about all day long, is he the kind of person who doesn't know what to do?
Even the emperor asked Peanut to ask Yun Concubine by name, which shows that the emperor attaches some importance to Yun Concubine.
Although it is not much, there must be one, otherwise the woman would not have been allowed to interrogate Yun Concubine.
Yun Concubine was a little surprised when she saw the peanut and asked, "Are you from Chaoyang Palace?" Why haven't I seen you before? ”
Peanut smiled: "Where is the slave maid, don't worry about Concubine Yun, Concubine Yun Niangniang still talk about the plate of white fungus osmanthus cake." ”
Yun Concubine's heart sank suddenly, listening to the tone of this little chamberlain, she was disrespectful to her, did the emperor really doubt her?
In this harem, her status is not up or down, which is actually very embarrassing.
Let's say that she is not favored, and the emperor will come to her for one night every month.
Let's say that she has a favor, thirty days in a month, except for the queen, the emperor has to spend the night in the palace of twenty-eight concubines, and she is only one of these twenty-eight.
Peanut has always been known for being straightforward, she didn't talk nonsense, and asked Yun Concubine to repeat the events of that night.
After Concubine Yun finished speaking, Peanut asked, "Who is waiting outside?" ”
Concubine Yun said the names of the palace maids and chamberlains, and Peanut said again: "I'm tired of Concubine Yun Niangniang to tell me about last night's events again, don't leave behind those who have mentioned their names." ”
Yun Concubine had no choice but to speak again, and as soon as the words fell, Peanut asked: "How many people sent those unfinished supper to the pantry, who are they?" ”
This Yun Concubine didn't know, so she had to call the chamberlain on duty in her palace last night to come in and find out the names of those people, Yun Concubine thought that the little chamberlain in front of her would interrogate those people, and she was just relieved, but Peanut asked her to repeat last night's events for the third time.
After repeated repeatedly, Concubine Yun's anger couldn't help but bubble out: "Are you trying to humiliate the palace?" ”
Peanut rolled her eyelids: "If Concubine Yun Niangniang thinks so, then the slave and maid will not ask, and the slave and maid will go to your majesty to report her life." ”
After speaking, he got up and was about to leave, Yun Concubine was startled, and hurriedly changed her amiable tone: "Where, this palace will say it again." ”
In this way, Peanut asked Yun Concubine to speak back and forth seven times, and every time Yun Concubine said it, Peanut had to call a few people to wait outside, until Yun Concubine finished speaking for the seventh time, and there were already more than a dozen people standing under the porch outside.
Concubine Yun was physically and mentally exhausted, and said weakly: "Do you still want this palace to speak for the eighth time?" ”
Peanut grinned, and suddenly, his smile disappeared, and Masasei asked, "How long has that cat lady been raised?" ”
