Chapter 206: Red Bean Cake
Concubine Li: "I am the concubine of the Marquis of Pingyang in the middle of the court, when I disguised myself as a man and sneaked out to buy the red bean cake of Wei Zhai, I met Jun Jingxing, who was still the prince when I met the curtain, and I fell in love with him at first sight and told my father to marry him no matter what, and I learned that he already had a wife and a child in the past. ”
"So this red bean cake is something that the two of you are in love with?" Qingmin looked at the chestnut cake and mung bean cake in his hand.
"At that time, I crossed paths with him just to grab a few pieces of red bean cake. Concubine Li recalled with a smile.
"As a prince, I haven't seen anything, why should I grab a piece of red bean cake with you. "This is the thing that Qingmin is most puzzled about, could it be a conspiracy.
Although he was the prince at that time, his mother was in the cold palace, and this red bean cake was also his mother's favorite food. I don't know if he bought the red bean cake today to commemorate his deceased mother or to recall the first time the two of them met.
Qingmin, this man, is scheming, "You believe what he is, you don't inquire." ”
"I asked if his mother liked to eat red bean cakes? But I'm just a side concubine, and there is a concubine on top, and it won't be my turn to enter the palace anyway. "And she has no heirs herself, let alone a chance to enter the palace.
"You should have asked your father to inquire before you were out of the cabinet. "It may be that Jun Jingxing was trying to seduce her as his own prince and stability, and it is not necessarily, and sure enough, a woman in love will become stupid.
"You weren't born in the mortal world, you don't understand. Concubine Li shook her head.
Qingmin didn't have much to do with her, Yuhua walked in: "Bring me something to eat, where?"
Qing Min handed the mung bean cake in his hand to Yuhua, "It's all for you." To Concubine Li: "I also bought soft fabric to make clothes for your unborn child." ”
Concubine Li heard the high-breasted and asked, "Where?" She was also worried that the child would be born without clothes, but now that it is okay, Qingmin has bought the fabric back.
"At Su Zhiyuan's place, he is now at the granary, put the other things he bought in it, and he will come later. Qingmin took out a piece of chestnut cake: "Come, eat a piece of chestnut cake." ”
Concubine Li took the chestnut cake.
In the palace, the emperor was approving the fold, and when he looked up and saw that his close guards had returned, he didn't bring anyone else back, and looked down at the fold.
The guards saluted and put the red bean cake they bought on the table of the emperor's folding.
He didn't know why the emperor wanted to buy red bean cakes in Weiwei Zhai, and he also wrapped all the red bean cakes, obviously the imperial chef would also make red bean cakes, why did he go outside the palace to buy them, but the most important thing for the guards was to be obedient and talk less, as for why he did this useless thing, he couldn't ask, he could only do it.
The emperor glanced at the red bean cake and said with an expressionless face: "I bought it back." ”
Guard: "Yes, all the red bean cakes are here." ”
The emperor put down his fold, "Nothing happened, did it?"
"Originally, the shopkeeper of Weizhai didn't want to sell me the pastries, but I showed the emperor's identity before he agreed. ”
The emperor said lightly, "Well, you all go down." ”
The guards and the eunuchs who were waiting for them withdrew.
After the big eunuch who was waiting for the emperor came out of the palace, he pulled the guards and whispered: "The emperor doesn't have anything to do with these red bean cakes that let you buy flavored red bean cakes every time?"
The guard shrugged, "I don't know." ”
The big eunuch looked at the hall that had closed the door, and could only give up in the face of the emperor's close guards' answers, thinking that the red bean cake made by the imperial kitchen was not delicious? It seems that it has to be beaten, since Concubine Li was grounded, these emperors are weird, and they don't go to the harem.
A few years ago, when the emperor went to Concubine Li's palace, he only saw a parting letter from Concubine Li, and there was nothing else, in order to avoid others from finding out that Concubine Li was grounded, and even the closest eunuch around him didn't know about it.
The emperor took the pastry and muttered, "Summer solstice." ”
A figure appeared in the hall and knelt down: "The minister is here." ”
Emperor: "This is how Concubine Li's disappearance has been investigated. ”
"Concubine Li and her close maid escaped from the palace through the secret passage of the cold palace, with the help of the queen. ”
"Sure enough. Otherwise, how could Ruxi's stupid brain get rid of the people he sent to monitor and escape from the palace, and sure enough, it was the queen who helped in the back, and said in a deep voice, "Find a way to ask where Concubine Li is now, if you live to see people and die, you want to see corpses." ”
"Yes. "The man is gone.
The emperor took out a piece of red bean cake and took a bite, remembering when they met in the curtain year, at that time he recognized Meng Ruxi at a glance as a woman disguised as a man, when Ruxi saw the amazing and obsessive look in his eyes, he still remembered it now, but unfortunately now the two of them can't go back.
Mu Cheng, in Concubine Li's room, Concubine Li, Qing Min and Mrs. Wei, the three of them were gathered together.
Concubine Li took the cotton cloth that Qingmin bought back and looked at it: "This fabric is good, very soft." ”
Mrs. Wei smiled: "I'll make clothes, these two pieces of fabric can make a lot of baby clothes, but the child grows fast, so he has to make a few big differences." ”
Qingmin has never made clothes, she can only refine medicine and dance swords, and Concubine Li, who has been a daughter since she grew up, became Concubine Li, and she has never made clothes, and she heard that Mrs. Wei wants to help make clothes and high-breasted "I'm sorry for you." ”
Mrs. Wei smiled: "What's not troublesome, there have been no children born in this Mucheng for a long time, and with your child, I think there will be more children born in the future." "In another year, Mucheng will return to its previous state.
Qing Min looked at Mrs. Wei cutting cloth, "I remember that I also bought two other pieces of cloth. ”
Mrs. Wei: "Is it two pieces of goose yellow and rose-red? Look at the pattern on it, it should be popular this year." ”
"Yes, I thought that Concubine Li didn't have her clothes to wear here, so I bought two pieces of cloth and came back. "I didn't expect Mrs. Wei to guess what patterns were popular this year before she left Mucheng.
Mrs. Wei glanced at Concubine Li: "When I finish making the child's clothes, I will make Concubine Li's clothes, in a few months, the child will be born, I have to prepare it early, and the midwife must also arrange it." ”
Qingmin: "It's Chinese New Year's Eve in a few days, and Fuzhong will also celebrate the festival." ”
These are not things that Qing Min should be worried about, and now there is Ouyang Imperial Doctor in the mansion thinking that there is no big problem to give birth.
"Although there is a lot of food in Mufu now, there are few vegetables, if there is a festival in the house, how can those people celebrate the festival?" Even if Qingmin bought several truckloads of vegetables, it was still not enough for the people of Mucheng to eat.
