Chapter 188: Green Plum Cake

At the beginning of spring and summer, the days are getting longer, and the shadows in the imperial garden are gradually increasing, the queen only walked around in the Fengluan Palace at the beginning, but I don't know from which day, I also love to wander around the imperial garden, and I also linger after the night, this is what all the palace concubines know, therefore, can be deliberately avoided and avoided, but on the contrary, today the queen stepped into the pavilion in the southwest corner, and there were already people inside.

The queen shook the eight-treasure exquisite fan, her eyes were slightly disgusted, the tassels at the corners of her skirt flickered, and the people in the pavilion were already kneeling in front of her.

"The concubine asks the queen to say goodbye, and the mother is Jin'an." Shen Qingjiao was sincerely frightened, and under the palace dress embroidered with white wooden lotus, her stomach was extremely conspicuous.

The queen's hand holding the handle of the fan tightened suddenly, she waited for Mo Chun to clean up a clean stone bench, and said condescendingly: "Who should this palace be, it turned out to be Ji Zhaoyi, the sun is slanting westward, why are you still in the imperial garden?" ”

Shen Qingjiao quietly stared at a big red peony on the queen's upper, which was the king of flowers, bright and dazzling: "The concubine's chest is stuffy, so she will come out for a walk, I don't want to disturb the queen's mother, and the concubine will go back to the palace." ”

The queen snorted coldly, as if she was not satisfied with Shen Qingjiao's answer, she sat in front of Shen Qingjiao, did not call for a long time, her eyes swept around Shen Qingjiao's increasingly thickened waist from top to bottom, and couldn't help but choke: "How long have you been pregnant?" ”

Shen Qingjiao's heart jumped, but she still replied calmly: "The concubine is more than four months pregnant..."

"More than four months old belly is so big?" The queen threw the delicate fan on the stone table with a "snap", and Mo Chun naturally picked it up behind her and continued, the boredom in her eyes was even stronger, looking at Shen Qingjiao's stomach as if it was some heinous existence, the queen didn't want to touch the child in Shen Qingjiao's womb, but the pros and cons that Mo Chun had told her before made the queen jealous, and the most important thing was that the queen mother died, and the queen didn't dare to do it.

Thinking of the Queen Mother, the queen instantly felt like she was in the Queen Mother's mourning hall that day, only to feel creepy, her throat rose and fell unconsciously, and she had no intention of practicing Shen Qingjiao, so she waved her hand in a blink of an eye and said: "Since you are pregnant, don't hang around all the time." ”

"Yes, the concubine retired."

After kneeling for a long time, Shen Qingjiao slowly got up with the help of Honeysuckle, and then, Honeysuckle lowered his head and picked up the pastries on the stone table, but one of the stacks of pastries attracted the queen's attention.

"What is this?" The queen asked, pointing to one of the plates of turquoise square cakes.

Honeysuckle always lowered his head and said, "Back to the queen, this is a green plum cake." ”

"Why didn't the palace people in the dining room send such a pastry to Fengluan Palace?" The queen smelled the fresh, sweet but not greasy taste of green plums, and unconsciously had a lot of saliva in her mouth, she turned around and questioned Mo Chun.

Without waiting for Mo Chun to answer, Honeysuckle said in a low voice: "Back to the queen mother, this is a folk pastry, which is made by the slave maid herself, and there is no such pastry in the dining room." Just because our mother's appetite is not good during pregnancy, and she likes to eat green plums, so she thinks that green plums are sour, so it is better to make pastries and prepare them, and ask the queen to forgive her sins. ”

"Really?" The queen glanced at Shen Qingyi, brushed a strand of hair on her sideburns and said, "Then Zhaoyi, you really have a great appetite after eating?" ”

"Back to the queen's mother, pregnant people have strange tastes, they want to eat this today, they want to eat that tomorrow, and sometimes they can't be sure, but the concubine herself has a soft spot for this green plum that quenches her thirst." Shen Qingjiao slowly raised her head, in addition to the alienation of the queen, there was also a trace of sympathy in her eyes: "Presumably the queen also had morning sickness in the first three months, right?" If the mother doesn't dislike it, you can taste this green plum cake, and it can be regarded as a concubine's heart. ”

There was only half of the green plum cake on the table, and the queen expected that the other half was eaten by Shen Qingjiao herself, so she relieved most of her suspicions in her heart, and she really couldn't resist the temptation in front of her, so she took a bite.

Green plum is sour, which is unacceptable for ordinary people, but for pregnant people, it is the favorite food, not to mention, there is more than just green plum in this green plum cake.

The queen then ate a total of three or four pieces before stopping, she still couldn't finish her words: "This pastry is indeed the appetite for the palace, the palace has not recovered its appetite recently, otherwise after the daily peace, let your palace people stay in the Fengluan Palace to make this green plum cake for the palace, right?" You also stay, and eat with Hongu. ”

"This..."Shen Qingjiao was taken aback, and said with a restrained expression: "If the queen mother likes to eat, the concubine will let the palace people make more and send it to Fengluan Palace, why bother like this." ”

The queen sneered and refuted Shen Qingjiao's words and said: "If you send it in the palace when you do it, the palace may not be able to eat it, so go to the Fengluan Palace every day and do it under the nose of the palace." ”

Shen Qingjiao bit her lip and replied after a long time: "Yes." ”

The queen likes to eat this green plum cake, and she doesn't necessarily have no brains to like to eat things sent from other palaces, not to mention that after a few pairs of hands, she is guarding against Shen Qingjiao.
