Chapter 252: Food
Here, the queen mother used the remnants of the three princes to control the Chang'an Palace, and while creating a riot with people, the new emperor couldn't get out of the way, and even hid it from the world.
But Bai Hua got the news from the Queen Mother, but he couldn't sit still.
She is well-dressed, who in the world will hate these, not to mention that the opportunity to get rid of the cold palace is in front of her, and she naturally wants to fight for it.
But how could she ever think of killing someone in the first house!
The Queen Mother helped her and treated her like her own daughter, she was grateful, and she was willing to be a stand-in for the eldest princess.
Only now, did she realize that she wanted a golden and jade life, and the queen mother wanted power, half a catty and eight taels, and there was no one who was high or low, but she didn't dare to think about the queen mother's means to achieve her goal.
Shiro couldn't stop turning the bracelet on his wrist. This bracelet is made of fine southern red agate, carved with warbler orchid grass, pure red like the blood of the warbler crying, very beautiful.
Right now, the bracelet is a little hot. She was afraid that the red on it would one day become stained with human blood.
After thinking about it for a while, she still couldn't resist the fear in her heart, so she took off the bracelet and put it on a few cases, "Help me collect it." โ
The waiting maid was suspicious, "Girl, haven't you always been happy with this bracelet?" She heard that this jade cultivator wore it even when she bathed.
Bai Hua said in a low voice, "Such a valuable thing, I am afraid that my hand will be crushed when I wear it." โ
The palace maid's face remained unchanged, and she secretly sneered in her heart, in the end, it was the maid's cheap life, and she felt uneasy wearing a bracelet. She didn't hear the deep meaning of Bai Hua's words, and thought that this white white girl was not as timid as the previous one, and she learned the paragraphs, but she didn't have that charm.
She knew that this palace maid looked down on her, and her heart was even more weak, so she walked to the direction of the imperial dining room without saying a word.
.
In the huge Chang'an Palace, there was no one in sight, but there were many guards outside the palace.
has not touched a grain of rice for a long time, Ruan Yuyi's body is unbearable. Her face was almost bloodless, and she was curled up on the couch, covered with a thin blanket of silver and red flowers, and her broken hair floated slightly under her snort, and she didn't know if she had fallen asleep.
At this time, I just went out to toss some movement, and I didn't have the strength.
Because most of the palace people were in the lower room, and there was no one in the palace, Bai Hua made an excuse at random to fool the guards outside, and easily entered, and no one even passed it on.
Hearing the palace door squeak and close behind her, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her hand holding the hook of the "birdcage" was already slightly sweaty.
Walking straight into the hall, it aroused Mu Xiang's vigilance. She stood up, "What are you going to do?" "The Queen Mother's heart is already clear, so the Queen Mother and her party will not invite her to see.
Bai Huase shrank, looked around with a pair of eyes, lowered his voice and said to the palace maid on the side, "Good sister, go and close the door tightly." โ
The palace maid was happy to see her push Ronghua away, and while secretly thinking about how to tell the Queen Mother about this later, she went to respond.
Seeing that the palace maid checked the doors and windows and turned them back, Bai Hua's heart was not so abrupt.
She walked to a nearby table, put the "bird cage" aside, and lifted the silk cloth covered on it, which was actually a carrying box, containing porridge and side dishes, noodles and snacks, etc., not something exquisite, but they were all hungry.
As soon as the lid was lifted, the heat escaped.
"Aunt Muxiang, I can't bring in too much, so I call your master to get up and use some first." She said.
Mu Xiang's face was still full of vigilance, "What do you mean by this, but the Queen Mother ordered you to come?" "It's not quite right to think about it, if it is really the Queen Mother's instructions, why bother to control Chang'an Palace.
She hesitated, but still went to Ruan Yuyi's couch, patted her shoulder gently, and called her out.
"Help the palace up." Ruan Yuyi's voice was as thin as a mosquito, as if it would dissipate with the wind in the next moment.
Mu Xiang supported her waist and put a soft pillow behind her so that she could lean more comfortably. She was crooked on the couch, with black hair and snowy skin, slightly drooping eyelashes, beautiful and fragile.
Bai Hua didn't even dare to speak loudly, "Niangniang, this ...... I don't know that the Queen Mother would use such a method, if I knew, I would definitely discourage one or two. This was deliberately said to her, just to ask Ruan Yuyi not to hold a grudge against herself.
She took the risk and sent food, which should also be benevolent and righteous, as for what will be three long and two short in the future, it has nothing to do with her. Even if this person in Chang'an Palace turned into an unjust soul, he couldn't find her.
"Aren't you afraid that the Queen Mother will find out?" Ruan Yuyi tilted her head slightly and looked into her eyes.
She hurriedly said, "I didn't inform the Queen Mother, I found an excuse to coax those guards outside, and no one would find out." She thought she was hiding it seamlessly.
Ruan Yuyi's gaze moved slightly, and fell on the palace maid on the side of the white painting, and the palace maid hurriedly lowered her eyes.
"Thank you very much."
"How can you afford to thank Niangniang," Bai Hua saw that the goal was achieved, his expression was a little more relaxed, and his mouth began to chatter, "Niangniang has not eaten for a long time, so she needs to use some thin porridge to eat first, and when she gets used to it, she can use something else." โ
There are a lot of pastries stuffed in it, which is about enough for the people in the palace to share.
She bowed slightly, "Muxiang, send it to the white girl." โ
"White girl, please." Mu Xiang walked to Bai Hua's side and gestured. It's not really that he has been sent out of the palace gate, for fear that the guards will be suspicious, but he just sent people out of the main hall, so he turned back.
.
Mu Xiang checked it with a silver hairpin to confirm that it could be eaten, and then took a small bowl and put out the hot porridge to cool it down.
Porridge is white porridge, which is boiled with japonica rice, and the rice grains inside are boiled soft and slightly bloomed. The heat in the bowl collided with the cool air in the inner room to create a white mist, lingering and rising.
Ruan Yuyi clasped the edge of the bowl, "Give it to me, you go and send some to them, and you can remember to use some yourself." The heat of the white porridge reached her fingertips, and her hands were also warm.
"Miss, it doesn't matter to the slaves." Mu Xiang Dao.
She urged, "Go quickly." โ
Mu Xiang's eyes were full of tears, and she bowed down, "Yes." โ
She watched the wood fragrance go away, so she picked up the spoon, stirred it in the bowl a few times, scooped up a spoonful, and put it in her mouth. She didn't even have time to chew, her throat moved slightly, and she swallowed subconsciously.
This spoonful of white porridge woke up the hunger she almost had forgotten, and the cramping in her stomach turned again, as if she had stripped off a piece of life. Fortunately, the antidote is just around the corner.
After that, it used more slowly, and the strength seemed to gather little by little to return to her body, and just like this, she continued to use up a bowl of white porridge.
The food sent by the white painting can solve the urgent need, and after that, what should she do?
She no longer held out the hope that he would find out what was wrong in Chang'an Palaceโmaybe it was his acquiescence, and she couldn't say.
