Concubine Hua just smiled, I really don't know what Concubine Xiao has experienced since she went to Yongle Palace, now she has completely changed, in the past, except when Concubine Xiao was by His Majesty's side, she smiled the brightest, and she hardly smiled very much.

And now because Concubine Hua promised her to see the Queen Mother, she was happy to be like this, smiling innocently like a three-year-old child, after approaching Guo Qiuyue, Concubine Xiao did not learn her insidious cunning at all. I really don't know why Guo Qiuyue didn't affect Concubine Xiao.

In Concubine Xiao's heart, there was obviously a trace of smugness on her cheeks, but Concubine Hua didn't notice it, she was proud that Concubine Hua thought she was smart, but she didn't notice the difference in herself, what Concubine Xiao was like, Guo Qiuyue hadn't been in contact with it at all, and she was just acting at this time.

Acting for Concubine Xiao and playing a different Concubine Xiao. This is also where Concubine Hua has always felt wrong, the Concubine Xiao in front of her is not the Concubine Xiao she used to get along with day and night, but Guo Qiuyue.

Although Concubine Hua always felt that the current Concubine Xiao was completely different from the original Concubine Xiao, she couldn't say anything different, she always felt weird, the moment Concubine Xiao took her hand, Concubine Hua still deliberately glanced at Concubine Xiao's hand, the hand was no different, but the feeling was not different at all.

She even suspected that the Concubine Xiao next to her was still not the sister she used to get along with day and night, no matter what. Concubine Xiao worked tirelessly to find the Tianshan Snow Lotus for the Queen Mother, and she traveled thousands of miles to find a famous chef.

She can be said to have paid a lot for the Queen Mother, these Hua Fei naturally saw it in her eyes, Concubine Xiao helped her heal her hands again, although Concubine Xiao made Concubine Hua feel weird, but she was grateful, so that even if she was a little suspicious of her, she was still deceived by Concubine Xiao to gain trust.

Seeing Concubine Xiao's excited face, Concubine Hua gently lifted Concubine Xiao's hair and touched her face, and suddenly a sense of guilt welled up in her heart. The scar of this knife is heart-wrenching to watch, and the two had to make such a choice in order to deceive Guo Qiuyue's trust.

So much so that Concubine Xiao was disfigured in vain, Concubine Hua stroked Concubine Hua's face, and said with some guilt: "Sister, why do you need to thank you, you and I are sisters, it's a pity that my sister has made my sister lose her beautiful appearance forever, and my sister has always felt guilty in her heart." ”

Concubine Xiao smiled slightly: "Sister, why blame herself so much, if you blame Guo Qiuyue, if it weren't for her, how could you and my sister end up like this, sister don't have to be sad, when we get close to the Queen Mother and gain her trust, it can be regarded as having a support in this deep palace, and at that time, the Queen Mother will support us, and Guo Qiuyue won't be able to use any tricks to measure her." ”

Although Concubine Xiao said so, she didn't think so in her heart, she couldn't wait to put Concubine Hua to death immediately, so that it would be easy to relieve the hatred in her heart, all of this was originally planned by Concubine Hua, if she hadn't become Concubine Xiao's appearance.

learned of her conspiracy with Concubine Xiao, maybe now she is still confused by the two of them, and now she can still use Concubine Hua, at this time her goal is completely on the Queen Mother, so she temporarily replaced Concubine Xiao to perform this scene between the two of them.

Although Concubine Hua heard Concubine Xiao's comfort, she was still a little reluctant in her heart, and she was really helpless to scratch Concubine Xiao's face, in order to let Concubine Xiao live, so that Guo Qiuyue would no longer feel Concubine Xiao's existence and pose a threat to herself, so as to get close to Guo Qiuyue and find an opportunity to take revenge in the future.

Seeing that Concubine Hua still looked guilty, Concubine Xiao hurriedly grabbed Concubine Hua's hand and said, "Sister, the matter has passed, why don't you and I go and see how Zhu Shenchu's medicinal diet is doing at this time, if it is done, how about you and my sister quickly send the nourishing medicinal food to the palace and let the Queen Mother taste it?"

Concubine Hua nodded and said: "Okay, the previous things are over, I don't want to think about it, sister, let's go to the kitchen to have a look, and then enter the palace to meet the queen mother, my sister will naturally say a few more words for my sister in front of the queen mother." ”

Concubine Xiao hurriedly got up and said with a grateful face: "That sister thanked my sister first, let's go!"

Concubine Hua then also stood up, and the two of them came to the kitchen of Kangning Palace one after the other, and at this time, Chef Zhu Shen was stewing Snow Lotus Black Chicken Pot with a serious face. Seeing Concubine Hua and Concubine Xiao coming, he hurriedly put down the firewood in his hand, got up and stepped forward to salute and said, "Villain, I've seen Concubine Hua, Concubine Xiao." ”

Concubine Hua waved her hand and said, "Excuse me, I don't know how the soup made by Chef Zhu Shen?" The two of us were anxious in our hearts, so we came over to take a look, didn't disturb Chef Zhu Shen, right?"

Zhu Shenchu hurriedly said, "No, no." The villain has another hour to make the soup, which needs to be simmered slowly to make the soup thick. The flavor of Snow Lotus Black Chicken blends together, making this soup reach the realm of holy products in the world. ”

Concubine Xiao and Concubine Hua listened in a daze, they really didn't know anything about cooking, but it sounded quite reasonable, so the two nodded, Concubine Hua smiled and said: "Then trouble Chef Zhu to worry more, don't worry, let's just come and see, if you disturb Chef Shen to make good snow lotus black chicken soup, we will leave." ”

After that, Concubine Hua took Concubine Xiao's hand and said, "Sister, you and me, go back to the lobby and wait!"

Concubine Xiao nodded knowingly and said, "Everything is subject to my sister's arrangement." ”

Chef Zhu stepped forward to prepare a salute, Concubine Hua hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Chef Zhu doesn't have to be polite, just make soup with peace of mind, and the two of us will wait in the hall." ”

After saying that, Concubine Hua and Concubine Xiao left the kitchen, and when Zhu Shen's kitchen finished the snow lotus black chicken pot, it was close to ten o'clock, and there was still a period of time before the queen mother's meal.

The Queen Mother was recuperating in the palace at this time, and after Concubine Hua and Concubine Xiao came to Qingning Palace, the maid Yulan hurriedly came to the Queen Mother and saluted: "Empress Dowager, Concubine Hua and Concubine Xiao are asking to see you outside the door!"

After hearing this, the Queen Mother said happily: "Hurry, please hurry." ”

Yulan hurriedly saluted: "Yes".

After a while, Concubine Hua and Concubine Zhu entered the hall, stepped forward and saluted: "Concubine, the villain has seen the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother smiled: "No courtesy, give a seat." ”

The three of them thanked the Queen Mother and sat down. The Queen Mother glanced at the three of them, and she didn't know Zhu Yuqing beside Concubine Hua. So he asked, "Concubine Hua, who is this?"

Concubine Hua suddenly remembered something, so she hurriedly replied, "Oh, Queen Mother." The concubine introduced the queen mother, this is a god chef found by the queen mother from He Niuzhou and Jiguang County, this person is good at making nourishing medicinal food, and specially made this snow lotus black chicken pot for the queen mother to nourish the body. ”

Then Concubine Hua handed over the snow lotus black chicken pot from Concubine Xiao's hand, and then handed it to the slave beside the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother hurriedly said after hearing this: "Come up, wait for the palace to see." ”

The servant saluted and said, "Yes, Queen Mother." He took the snow lotus black chicken pot to the queen mother's side, although the queen mother had some doubts about this soup at this time. Especially the things sent by Concubine Xiao, she couldn't believe it, but she didn't show it.

Instead, he smiled slightly and said, "It's rare that Concubine Xiao has the heart to invite a divine chef for this palace, how should this palace reward you?"

After hearing this, Concubine Xiao hurriedly got up and said: "The concubine doesn't dare to invite credit, it is the honor of the concubine to do things for the queen mother." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand, looked at Concubine Xiao and said: "Concubine Xiao thinks about the palace, she must have suffered a lot when she found this Tianshan Snow Lotus, how can there be no reason not to reward the palace, and someone will take the golden hairpin that the foreign envoys offer to the palace and give it to Concubine Xiao." ”

The maid Yulan hurriedly saluted: "Yes, Queen Mother." ”

After a while, Magnolia took a particularly delicate box, in the box is the foreign envoy to the Queen Mother of the golden hairpin, this hairpin is finely made, beautiful, after opening the box, the golden light is shining, extremely dazzling.

Magnolia handed the golden hairpin to the queen mother, and the queen mother smiled and said: "This is the golden hairpin given to the palace by foreign envoys, there is only one pair of this hairpin in the world, and the other palace has been accidentally lost, this one can be called unique in the world, and now the palace is given to you." ”

Then the Queen Mother glanced at the maid Yulan next to her, and hurriedly said, "Yulan, give this thing to Concubine Xiao." ”

After Yulan gave the salute, she took the golden hairpin in the queen mother's hand, walked down from the main hall, came to Concubine Xiao, and smiled slightly: "Concubine Xiao, since the Queen Mother gave you a reward, Concubine Xiao doesn't have to refuse, accept it!"

Concubine Xiao smiled slightly and put the golden hairpin away, and hurriedly thanked: "Empress Dowager Xie loves her concubines so much. ”

The Queen Mother saw that Concubine Xiao was very satisfied, so she nodded, looked at Concubine Hua and said, "Concubine Hua, you and Concubine Xiao are rewarded together, what do you want the palace to reward you?"

Concubine Hua hurriedly said: "The concubine has no merit, this matter is all done by Concubine Xiao for the Queen Mother, and the concubine did not participate, and this credit is naturally rewarded by Concubine Xiao alone." ”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother already understood that she just wanted to know whose intention was this Snow Lotus Black Chicken Pot, Concubine Hua made it very clear that this matter was handled by Concubine Xiao alone, naturally this Snow Lotus Black Chicken Pot was the meaning of Concubine Xiao.

For Concubine Xiao's intentions, the Queen Mother was thoughtful, if Concubine Hua was interested in this matter, maybe the Queen Mother would not have guessed so, but this matter is Concubine Xiao's intention, so the Queen Mother had to take strict precautions, fearing that Concubine Xiao had other intentions.

So he waved his hand and said: "Since, Concubine Hua doesn't want to compete with Concubine Xiao, then the palace doesn't mention this matter, the two concubines think about the palace, the palace is deeply grateful, and the palace has thanked the two concubines for their kindness in advance." ”

Concubine Xiao saw that the Queen Mother did not mean to eat the Snow Lotus Black Chicken Pot, she was a little anxious, she worked hard to find this rare Snow Lotus, if the Queen Mother did not eat it, wouldn't it be in vain for her to waste a piece of her mind, and her plan would not be able to go on normally.

So he got up and said with a smile on his face: "Empress Dowager Xie praises, but this Tianshan Snow Lotus Black Chicken Pot needs to be eaten while it is hot, so as to have the best nourishing effect, please take it as soon as possible, so as not to miss the best time to eat." ”

Seeing that Concubine Xiao was so anxious, the Queen Mother was even more suspicious, and then said: "This palace has thanked Concubine Xiao for reminding her, but this palace has been overnourished recently, and I don't want to eat nourishing medicinal food for the time being, so let's do it! When this palace wants to eat it later, it's not too late to eat this snow lotus black chicken pot." ”

Concubine Hua saw Concubine Xiao's face of loss, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, after all, Concubine Xiao worked hard for this Tianshan Snow Lotus and Zhu Shenchu to make this Tianshan Snow Lotus Black Chicken Pot, and the Queen Mother did not eat it for some reason, which was indeed in vain for Concubine Xiao's heart.

This Snow Lotus Black Chicken Pot is cooked in Concubine Hua's mansion, there is absolutely nothing that is bad for the Queen Mother's health, Concubine Xiao has no chance to poison the soup, and Zhu Shenchu does not dare to poison this Snow Lotus Black Chicken Pot in Concubine Hua's Mansion, so the Queen Mother can eat it with confidence.

The Queen Mother didn't eat it, and Concubine Hua naturally knew that the Queen Mother was not at ease, so she hurriedly got up and said: "Queen Mother, this soup is just as Concubine Xiao said, take it while it's hot, I hope the Queen Mother will take it while it's hot, and it won't be in vain for us to have a piece of our heart for the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother saw that Concubine Hua also asked her to take it, for Concubine Hua. The Queen Mother still trusts it, she definitely has no intention of poisoning herself, so she nodded and said: "Since Concubine Hua and Concubine Xiao both persuaded the palace to take this Tianshan Snow Lotus Black Chicken Pot, then the Palace will try the craftsmanship of Zhu Shenchu and come to take the Snow Lotus Black Chicken Pot." ”

When Concubine Xiao saw that the Queen Mother was finally willing to drink this snow lotus black chicken pot, her face was proud, and then a hint of insidious flashed. As long as the Queen Mother can drink this snow lotus black chicken pot, her conspiracy can go smoothly. Concubine Xiao thinks that there is a first time and a second time, and there is always a time when the Queen Mother is unable to guard against it. And that one was the fatal one.
