Wonderful Puppet

In Emperor Chen Qing's heart, Zhen Miao was lively and cheerful, a little girl like a pistachio, and the concubine was upset, so she might be happy to have her in the palace to accompany her.When the concubine doesn't annoy him so much, he can go to make amends.

"Twife, what's the matter with you?" Zhen Miao was a little confused when she received the letter early in the morning, but she couldn't help being surprised when she saw someone.The concubine, who was always glamorous, actually had dark circles under her eyes!

Concubine Zhen didn't sleep all night and suffered all night, it's no wonder that she didn't have dark circles under her eyes. Now she saw Zhen Miao and smiled: "Miao girl, you came quite quickly."

Zhen Miao felt that something was wrong with Concubine Zhen, and asked cautiously, "Concubine Zhen, are you feeling unwell? If there is any discomfort, you should tell the imperial doctor immediately."

He said a little annoyed: "Isn't the emperor the most filial to you, no matter how busy you are, you should come to see it often, this place is close to the cold palace, those shallow-sighted people, maybe they will neglect you."

Zhen Miao said with compassion in her heart.

Although the late empress dowager didn't like her, the concubine lived quite comfortably at that time. Why is the concubine's life getting worse and worse after the sixth prince succeeds her?He didn't act filial to the concubine in the past, as expected, the relationship between the Tian family is as thin as water.

Concubine Zhen was bitter in her heart, she did not explain Zhen Miao's misunderstanding, and took her hand: "Miao girl, these are some dim sums that I have been figuring out out of boredom. You are good at cooking, maybe you can make better ones, today is the time It's early, why don't you try?"

Zhen Miao suppressed the doubts in her heart, and deliberately coaxed Princess Zhen to be happy: "Okay, I'm afraid that my cooking is too delicious, and the concubine will not want me to leave."

Concubine Zhen paused, and gave her a white look: "Nonsense!"

"This is a goat's milk omelet, this is a pastry goat's milk bun, and there is a dish of iced plum juice, toffee. You can try it." After more than an hour, Zhen Miao was done, smiling and asking for credit.

Speaking of which, she really doesn't know much about desserts made with goat's milk.

Concubine Zhen tasted one and nodded: "Yes. It really tastes more delicate than the ones made by the palace people."

After the two finished eating, they rinsed their hands and mouth, and drank the iced plum juice. Zhen Miao smiled and said, "Grand Concubine, it's getting late, I'll go back first, and I will come to see you some other day."

It's not a year or a festival.It's not good to stay in the palace for too long.

Concubine Zhen unexpectedly did not agree: "There is no rush. Come on, my aunt will show you something."

She pulled Zhen Miao to the side of the colorful chest of drawers, took out a key, opened the top drawer, and took out a scroll.Open it carefully.

Zhen Miao opened her eyes wide: "This is—"

There are three people on the screen, the adult woman, at first glance it is herself, but look closely.I knew it was the concubine when she was young.Compared with the concubine, she lacks the coquettishness that comes from her bones.

There are also two children on the scroll, a boy and a girl.The girl was slightly older and was swinging on a swing, while the boy stood not far away, smiling shyly.

Concubine Zhen pointed to the scroll.He smiled and said, "This is my full moon."

Zhen Miao's eyes stayed on the girl on the picture scroll, and she didn't know whether she was feeling emotional or agreeing, and she murmured: "This is Princess Yingyue, very similar to Concubine Tai."

"That's right, it's similar to Miao Yatou when she was young, right? When my great-aunt sees you, it's like seeing Yingyue."

Zhen Miao was a little surprised.

All along, she knew in her heart that Concubine Zhen treated her differently, mostly because she and Princess Yingyue looked alike, but it was the first time that she said it directly.

She raised her eyes and looked at Dowager Zhen, and what she saw was Dowager Zhen's smile from the bottom of her heart.

Zhen Miao also laughed, "It's my good fortune to be like my aunt."

Concubine Zhen raised her hand and stroked Zhen Miao's hair with some pity: "Miao girl is more blessed than aunt."

"Toffee."

"Ok?"

"You are a little strange today."

"What's so strange?" Concubine Zhen squinted at her.

Zhen Miao pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I can't tell, but I feel that the concubine is a little different today."

Touching Concubine Zhen's loving eyes, Zhen Miao vaguely understood why.

In the past, Concubine Zhen was so radiant and magnificent that anyone who saw her would feel that she was a fairy, but she could not get close to her from a distance, but today, Concubine Zhen looked at her with the eyes of elders looking at younger generations.

This is really strange!

How could her aunt look at her granddaughter like a normal grandmother?

Zhen Miao, who was not used to it, couldn't help but glance at Concubine Zhen.

Concubine Zhen stretched out her hand to pat her: "Look at you, I want to hit you when I see you!"

Zhen Miao laughed, pointed at the boy in the painting and asked, "This boy should be the emperor, right?"

Concubine Zhen put away her smile.

Zhen Miao didn't understand, so she looked at Concubine Zhen in surprise.

Concubine Zhen silently put away the scroll, took out a booklet from the bottom, and handed it to Zhen Miao.

Zhen Miao opened it and was even more surprised.

"I have taught you some beauty recipes before, but I didn't remember all of them in the booklet. When Yingyue married her relatives far away, I gave her a copy and kept a copy. You can take it."

Concubine Zhen had two daughters and one son, and only Princess Yingyue survived. When Princess Yingyue got married, she secretly prepared two copies, thinking in her heart that the other one was for the eldest daughter who died young.

Zhen Miao was a little uneasy for no reason: "Grandmother, you should keep such a valuable book for the right person. I can always visit you in the palace. You love me, just teach me once in a while."

Concubine Zhen sneered: "The right person? Besides you, who else is the right one? It can't be the little girl Zhenzhen, right? Just take it if you let me, don't talk nonsense! Besides, this deep palace official is It's not a vegetable market, if you have nothing to do, you should come here less."

The corners of Zhen Miao's mouth twitched, she thought to herself, Auntie, didn't you ask me to come here.

She didn't dare to refuse, and thanked her readily: "Then I would like to thank my aunt."

"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back." Concubine Zhen pointed to the snack plate on the table, "Although you made it, it was my materials anyway, take it back for the two children Try it. For children, goat's milk is better than cow's milk."

"Hey." Zhen Miao responded with a smile, "Grandmother, I also thought of a recipe for goat's milk egg tart, I will try to make it when I get back, if it tastes good, I will go back to the palace and make it for you to try. OK?"

Concubine Zhen smiled softly, and said softly, "Okay."

Early the next morning, Zhen Miao received the news that Concubine Zhen had passed away.

This is impossible!

This sentence twitched on the tip of Zhen Miao's tongue, she swallowed it back abruptly, stared at the servant who delivered the message, bit her lip hard, and asked, "Your Majesty, what did your Majesty order?"

The servant said respectfully: "I also sent people to Jian'anbo mansion to deliver a letter. The emperor sent a letter to the old lady of Jian'anbo, Mrs. Jiang, the wife of the eldest son, and you. Let's go to the palace together. The sedan chair is waiting outside."

"Understood." Zhen Miaoshen went back to the inner room with one kick and one shallow kick, her feet were weak and she almost fell, the wooden branch was too late to support her, so she hurriedly supported the bed post to stand firm, and said slowly, "Turn through a set of plain clothes." Give it to me." (to be continued~^~)
