Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 608 Busy Morning

The empress dowager was very distressed when she learned that these children had stayed up all night. She got up early and ordered the imperial dining room to cook something delicious for them. She also sent someone to the warming room to tell these children that they would come to her palace after washing. Eat breakfast.She was worried that if she didn't keep an eye on them, these children might have packed up those files and went to sleep without eating.

It has to be said that the Empress Dowager really knows this group of people very well. Shen Haolin and Shen Cha are better off. They said they want to go back to the Duke's Mansion to have breakfast and sleep.As a result, when they heard the Queen Mother's order, no matter how unhappy they were, they could only obey obediently.

Song Jue dragged Shen Haolin, Song Qiyun, Bai Meng and Ying Shisan to the side room to wash up. Eunuch Cui had already prepared a change of clothes for them.As for Shen Cha, Mei Lin and Mei Zhu led the half-asleep Song Jinyu directly to the Empress Dowager's palace.

Fortunately, the distance between the warm hall and the empress dowager's bedroom is not very far, and the weather has gradually turned back, so there is no need to worry about catching a cold and getting sick.

When the girls finished washing and changed into clean clothes, they saw the boys had arrived and were chatting with the empress dowager.

"Okay, everyone has arrived, and we can serve dinner!"

The master chefs in the imperial dining room stewed a nourishing soup for them. This recipe was learned from Jin Miaomiao. It contains many precious medicinal materials, which is especially suitable for people who often stay up late.

"This taste..." Song Qiyun drank half a bowl in one go, "Isn't this the soup that Sister Miao Miao makes every time? The people in the imperial dining room stole the teacher?"

"Steal what teacher!" Song Jinyu patted his head, "Miao Miao gave the prescription to Master Dong in the imperial dining room, saying that the emperor brother and the commander-in-chief also often light lamps and boil oil to handle official business, and it is best to drink this in the morning .”

"My lord Jin has a heart." The empress dowager also took a sip and felt that the soup tasted good, slightly bitterer than the soup she had tasted before, which was probably due to the addition of a lot of medicinal materials.

"Miao Miao said, this is a qi-invigorating soup, the empress can drink it once every three days, and the effect is very good."

"I see, I will tell the imperial dining room." The empress dowager looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha who were sitting on her right, "With her by your side, I can rest assured. The master has a good vision and chose an extremely talented A disciple with high character and excellent character."

"It's just that the mouth is a bit sharp." Song Qiyun sighed, picked up a vegetarian bun and took a bite, "You don't know, Queen Mother, that Sister Miao Miao has a big temper, so don't provoke her, or..." He didn't Consciously shivering, "She may not have made some weird soup, the taste is really getting worse every time."

"Nonsense!" The empress dowager finished drinking the nourishing soup, and the maid next to her brought her a plate of plain steamed stuffed buns just like Song Qiyun's, "Why don't you talk about yourself, you are so nice, why do you have to make people angry! "

"Your Majesty!" Shen Cha chuckled from the side, "I know what he's talking about, probably in the winter of last year, there were a lot of people suffering from typhoid fever at the border, this guy was unfortunately caught, but he just refused to obey, so he said whatever he wanted He also refused to take medicine. Miao Miao's temper is not very good, and she is not the kind of person who gets caught at any moment. She tried to persuade Xiao Xiao for two hours, but Qiyun still refused to take a sip of medicine. This made Miao Miao anxious , since this is the case, let’s drink it raw. The medicine that was boiled before is cold and has no effect, so I boiled a bowl again.” She glanced at Song Qiyun, who was still very unconvinced, “In order to let him With a long memory, I changed the prescription. The effect of this prescription is very good, and it can be cured after three doses. It’s just that Qiyun was young and couldn’t stand the too bitter medicine, and wanted him to rest for a few days ,so……"

"I understand!" The Empress Dowager nodded, "Well done, he should have a long memory. This child has been sick and refused to take medicine since he was a child. Someone should take care of him. Wait until Lord Jin enters the palace next time. , I want to thank her very much."

"Mother!" Song Qiyun pouted, "I...I..."

"This matter is not negotiable!"

Throughout the breakfast, the Empress Dowager dragged Shen Cha to inquire about Song Qiyun's embarrassing experiences in Jiaping Pass. Shen Cha knew that it was the Empress Dowager asking her how Song Qiyun was doing at the border.

She picked out a few interesting things and told the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager laughed while listening, pointing at Song Qiyun from time to time, laughing and scolding him for having so many evil ideas.

Song Qiyun also understood what the empress dowager meant, he was not in Xijing all the year round, he couldn't serve his mother, and he also had regrets in his heart.He is also very happy to use colorful clothes to entertain relatives in this way.

After listening to a few stories, the Empress Dowager stopped letting Shen Cha continue. She could also tell that these children had no energy after staying up all night, and they probably wanted to sleep well right now. .So, seeing that they had almost eaten, let them go back to rest.

Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Bai Meng got up to say goodbye, but Song Jue didn't keep them, they had been tossing around all night, so they had to go back and get a good sleep.

The spirits of the three people are not bad, they are all people who are used to it, including Mei Lin, Mei Zhu and Ying Shisan who are following behind them, they don't seem so tired, they are still in good spirits.

"Well, based on what you've seen so far, what do you think?" Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin, then at Bai Meng, "The conclusion hasn't changed?"

"Well, not yet." Shen Haolin and Bai Meng nodded at the same time.

At this time, Xijing City was already very lively. There were more pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages on the street. Almost all the shops were closed and closed earlier, and other shops opened for business one after another.

"Me too!" Shen Cha sighed after passing a carriage sideways, "The more you look at these things, the more problematic they are."

"Yes, especially according to the chronological order, it's done perfectly." Shen Haolin agreed with Shen Cha's words, and they continued to move forward when the carriage passed by, "Generally speaking, it is very normal for there to be ambiguities in time After all, the time span is so large, when many things happened, who was around, and what was said, if it is not particularly important and easy to attract attention, basically it will not be remembered so clearly. Especially, Aunt Xue's memory is not that good, it is impossible to remember so many things."

"I'm also inclined. A considerable part of these files are fabricated." Bai Meng felt a little headache, "We know it's fake, but we have to read it. It's really worrying."

"True and false, false and true!" Shen Cha didn't react much to this matter, and said calmly, "If you think about it this way, maybe the truth we need, the clues to find the truth, It’s just hidden in these files! Thinking about it this way, does it feel worthwhile to do this from time to time?”

"...All right!" Bai Meng nodded, "This reason is acceptable."

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other and smiled. The general is good everywhere, but sometimes he lacks a little patience. If he can get rid of this problem, maybe he can really become a very good general.

When they walked back to the Duke's Mansion, they saw Jin Miaomiao waiting for them at the gate of the mansion, with a slightly anxious expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Shen Cha walked in front of her, "What happened at home?"

"Not at home!" Jin Miaomiao waved his hands towards Shen Haolin and Bai Meng, as a greeting, "It's Wan Yanxi, he... wants to see us."
