"Queen Mother."

After Su Liuye and the others went out, the grandmother standing next to her stepped forward, "Are you tired?" ”

"Not yet."

The concubine shook her head, looked at the pastries on the table, and sighed leisurely, "No wonder Kang Le always runs out these days, and takes the maid to the cyclamen to make trouble, I'm afraid I already knew that Lu An was in the cyclamen." ”

"What does the concubine mean is that the county lord wants to take Teacher Lu into the palace to see the queen mother?"

"I'm afraid it's impossible to enter the palace, but Kang Le knows that the Queen Mother likes to eat Lu An's dishes, so he wants to find Lu An and try his best to please the Queen Mother."

"Concubine, what should we do then?" Mama asked worriedly.

She followed the concubine for many years, and also followed the concubine to the temple for retreat.

Not long ago, the Five Princes Mansion found the long-lost county lord and sent a letter to the concubine, and the concubine was also surprised. She was not the biological mother of the fifth princess, and she didn't even know that the little princess who was born to the fifth princess was abducted.

After returning to the palace, she realized that it didn't matter who the so-called county lord was, it was the Five Princes Mansion who wanted to take this opportunity to curry favor with the Queen Mother.

The concubine sighed, the Five Princes' Mansion connived at such a county lord, and I don't know if it's a good thing, the Five Princes' Mansion never stood up to meddle in these things in the past, but now it will form a gang.

Hearing her sigh, Mama hurriedly comforted, "Concubine, don't worry, the prince will naturally deal with these things." The slave and maid also asked about it, and the prince and the princess also had more than a few times because of the county lord's affairs, but the princess recognized the identity of the county lord, but the prince did not believe it. ”

"Now the prince has also been reprimanded by the emperor because of the prince, but the emperor has no intention of pursuing the prince at present, and the slave maid thinks that the emperor will not really be angry with the prince."

"Mama, I'm afraid you're thinking too simply."

The concubine sighed and shook her head, knowing that the matter was too complicated, and it was useless to say more now.

She had already handed over the golden leaf to Su Liuye, and it could also play some role at the critical moment.

Although she hadn't asked about the affairs of the court for a long time, she also vaguely felt that something big was going to happen soon.

Mama knew that the matter involved the royal family, so she didn't dare to say more, so she helped the concubine to rest.

When I looked out the window, it was snowing again.

Su Liuye and Qin Lian returned to the house, and a thin layer of snow was already on their shoulders.

Uncle Zhou made hot tea for them, and Su Liuye was chatting with Old Man Lu about the Queen Mother on the road. Talking about the concubine who likes today's dishes very much, Old Man Lu had a smug look on his face.

Seeing his appearance, Su Liuye was also completely sure that Old Man Lu had always cooked for the concubine back then, so he took the initiative to ask for it just now.

Su Liuye handed him the golden leaf given by the concubine, "Grandpa Lu, this is the concubine's reward, and one of them is for you." ”

Old Man Lu's expression suddenly became solemn, "This is a reward from the concubine?" Aside from these, did the concubine say anything? ”

"No, the concubine just chatted with us for a few words, and she looked like she was tired and went back to her room to rest."

Old Man Lu looked at Jin Yezi and pondered for a long time, then suddenly snorted and scolded, "Okay! With this thing, the old man doesn't have to deal with that county lord anymore! ”

Hearing him say this, Su Liuye suddenly realized.

That's why the concubine specially rewarded this gold leaf! I don't want Old Man Lu to be harassed by Zhou Yun'er anymore, since Zhou Yun'er is the county lord of the Five Princes' Mansion, she will definitely be able to recognize the concubine's token.

Seeing the golden leaves, Zhou Yun'er didn't dare to mess around.

Su Liuye asked curiously, "Grandpa Lu, I knew before that Lord Kangle had always wanted to find you, so do you know what her reason for looking for you is?" ”

"Of course I do."

The old man snorted, and actually told her, "I used to be an imperial chef in the palace, I believe you already know this, right?" ”

Facing the old man's eyes, Su Liuye couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, it seemed that the old man had already known that she had inquired about his past.

The old man didn't hide it, and said bluntly, "At the beginning, the old man and I liked to make these pickles in the palace, but the other imperial chefs said that this was poor sour food and could not appear in front of the nobles in the palace, but the first emperor was just a good bite, and later, that is, the queen mother loved to eat it." ”

"The county lord came to me, just to find the food that the queen mother likes, to do what he likes, and to please the queen mother. I've been away from the palace for so long, so naturally I don't want to have anything to do with it anymore. ”

It was the first time Su Liuye had heard Old Man Lu talk about this, and she quickly heard the clue, "Doesn't the concubine like to eat?" ”

"The concubine naturally doesn't like it, the concubine doesn't like to eat acid. She came to you this time, probably because she knew that the store was mine, and wanted to send this gold leaf to me under the pretext of looking for you. ”

"In this way, the Queen Mother doesn't want Grandpa Lu to contact you with the Lord of Kangle."

"Naturally, I don't want to! This county lord is not a real county lord, just a temporary replacement! Old man Lu was full of disdain, "She wants to be her fake county lord, and I have nothing to say about the old man, but this fake is restless, and he comes over to harass the old man all day long, trying his best to please the queen mother!" ”

"Grandpa Lu, how do you know she's a fake?" Su Liuye was shocked, how could so many people know about this matter?

"Of course you know." Old Man Lu said, "I followed my master into the palace as a cook when I was five years old, and I know many things well as the old man. Speaking of this, he looked at Su Liuye, "But I can't tell you about this girl, this matter involves too much." ”

Su Liuye opened her mouth, naturally knowing that Old Man Lu was worried about pulling her in, and the old man didn't know the grievances between her and Zhou Yun'er.

After thinking about it, she simply told Old Man Lu everything, after all, the old man knew more things than she imagined, and maybe she could know more news from the old man's mouth.

"Are you from the same village as the county lord?" Old Man Lu was surprised.

"Yes." Speaking of this, Su Liuye felt annoyed, "When I was still in Zhoujia Village, I didn't know that Zhou Yun'er had anything to do with the Five Kings' Mansion. That day, the executive's family came to the town to pick up Zhou Yun, and I only found out about it, and at that time, Lianlian also went back to the village to inquire, and the old people in the village were all Zhou Yun'er is the daughter of the Zhou family. ”

"Girl, this matter is not as simple as you imagined, even if you find evidence, the Five Princes Mansion will not easily give up the Lord of Kangle." Old Man Lu took a sip of tea, "Didn't the concubine also give you a golden leaf?" You put away the gold leaf, and this gold leaf can save your life at a critical moment. ”

"I know."

Su Liuye responded, only feeling heavy in her heart.
