Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 305 Mismatch
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I watched the stars at night and saw that Ziwei was dim and Taibai was retrograde. I am afraid that something bad will happen..."

Lingtai Lang is the official in charge of observing the sky, and he reported in a drawn-out tone.

After hearing the first two sentences, Zhao Xiwei stopped feeding Yaoguang tea.

He said a lot of high-sounding words, but he just wanted to explain one thing: the little princess's illness is strange, there must be a vision.

Ah Lu, who was serving by the side, was very clever. Seeing that she was silent, he half covered his mouth with his palm and explained in a low voice: "Crown Princess, this Lingtai Lang's surname is Fu Minghua. He came out and said a lot, saying that there was a vision in the northwest corner of our Pearl Mirror Hall, and the concubine Shu didn't want to cause any major trouble, so she cleaned up the pond of water lilies..."

Zhao Xi smiled and said, "Didn't the water lily be rewarded by His Majesty?"

She still remembered that when she entered the palace for the first time, the other concubines talked sourly about it for a long time.

"Yeah..." A Lu became dejected, "The water lily bloomed beautifully, it was fragrant and beautiful. The servants kept watch at night, and they liked it when they saw the water lily in the pond, and then pulled it out overnight. Jing... But Lingtai Lang's words are also effective, pulling out the pond full of water lilies, the Empress Dowager's illness improved, do you think it's a miracle?"

Zhao Xi smiled, but did not speak.

This is a heart disease for the queen mother, and it will be fine when she thinks about it.

Ah Lu sighed, looking at the undulating sea of ​​flowers in the distance: "I don't know if I'm going to pull out another flower this time..."

The little servant was only worried about that bunch of flowers.

Zhao Xiwei slightly frowned.

Taking advantage of people's illness will cost people their lives.

The Queen Mother is so aggressive this time, how could it be so simple just to clean up a piece of flowers?
"Princess, what's the matter with you?" Seeing her frowning, Ah Lu nervously added some silver frost charcoal to the stove, "If you are afraid of the cold, tell this servant, and this servant will ask someone to bring a small stove."

"It's okay, this side hall is quite warm." Zhao Xiwei hurriedly collected his expression, and smiled at him.

At this time, a little maid came up with a plate of cakes: "This is the lotus root flour cake that Sister Mingyu ordered the servants to make. Please try the crown princess and princess."

The pastries are pink and white, but the size of glutinous rice balls, but they are made into the shape of rabbits, placed one by one in small jasper-colored plates, and decorated with pink petals, they look very delicate and lovely.

Zhao Xiwei was not hungry, but the pastry was really enjoyable, and it was just baked and still steaming, so he picked up one of the chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

The entrance is soft and delicate. Although it is a dessert, it has no taste of sugar. It is the sweetness that comes with lotus root powder.

Zhao Xiwei smiled and said: "The kitchen of the Pearl Mirror Palace is really amazing. The cakes I ate at His Majesty's place last time were not so delicious." Looking at it again, Yao Guang didn't seem to have any appetite at all, so he He ordered: "You go down first."

The little maid responded respectfully, and quietly retreated.

Zhao Xiwei took a lotus root flour cake, coaxing Yao Guang softly: "Do you want to eat one, princess?"

Yao Guang shook his head: "I don't want to eat, I want to drink water!"

Zhao Xiwei was a little strange.

Yaoguang had already drank a large cup of hot water just now, an adult should think it was enough, why would he want to drink it?
Ah Lu's voice over there answered her doubts: "Princess, did you secretly eat the flower cake again?"

As soon as the words fell, Yao Guang waved his hands anxiously: "Don't let others know!"

Zhao Xiwei's eyes were fixed, and he looked at A Lu, and his voice suddenly sank: "What's going on??"

Yao Guang said first: "It's nothing! It's just that my concubine doesn't allow me to eat flower cakes!"

"Oh?" Zhao Xiwei raised his eyebrows in doubt: "Why?"

"This..." Yao Guang faltered, unable to answer.

Zhao Xiwei looked at A Lu again: "You tell me."

It's not a big deal for a child to be greedy, and it's not so strict.

unless……

His eyes suddenly turned cold, and he stared at Ah Lu calmly.

When Ah Lu was looked at by her like this, he suddenly felt bursts of cold sweat breaking out on his back.

He shook his head in embarrassment, nodded again, and finally said hesitatingly: "Actually...it's okay to let the princess know...it's just that Princess Yaoguang likes to eat flower cakes, and only Aunt Lan Ruo in our Zhujing Palace can make them. But Concubine Shu doesn't The princess-to-be eats, and the princess sometimes secretly pesters Aunt Lan Ruo to do it..."

She raised her head pitifully again, and said: "The princess just ate a cake secretly, please don't tell our empress the princess, otherwise we will all be punished..."

"Yes!" Yao Guang also nodded heavily, "Crown Princess, don't let my concubine mother find out! If she finds out, she will definitely punish me to kneel again..."

Zhao Xiwei glanced back and forth between the faces of the two of them, but they couldn't see anything unusual, but the intuition in his heart became stronger and stronger, so he asked, "Then Yaoguang knows, why the empress doesn't allow you to eat it?" ?”

There must be a reason, right?
Yao Guang and A Lu looked at each other, and they shook their heads together: "I don't know, but they are not allowed to eat."

"Are you not allowed to eat what Aunt Lan Ruo made?"

Zhao Xiwei only felt his heartbeat speed up suddenly.

The truth of the whole incident seems to be like a shooting star across the night sky. Although it cannot be touched, a glimmer of light can be seen.

But the next moment, Yao Guang's answer made her calm again.

"No!" Yao Guang shook his head, and said very obediently: "It's just that you are not allowed to eat flower cakes!"

Ah Lu hurriedly echoed, "Yes, yes!"

He finally slowly realized a problem: The princess seems to be paying too much attention to Lan Ruo?
So he kindly explained: "The princess doesn't know something. The filling of this flower cake is filled with a lot of brown sugar and salt, and then fried slowly with oil until soft. After eating, it is easy to get angry and thirsty... It is reasonable for the empress not to let the princess eat..."

Zhao Xi frowned slightly and thought for a moment.

It seems that this also makes sense.

But she still felt that something was wrong, so she asked again: "Is it because you have never been allowed to eat flower cakes?"

Yao Guang nodded heavily this time, showing a very puzzled look: "No! In the past, my mother and concubine also allowed me to eat, but then I don't know why they suddenly stopped..."

Zhao Xiwei raised his voice a little, called "A Lu", and asked, "What's going on?"

Alu scratched his head, very distressed: "It's a bit troublesome to talk about, in short, Princess Yaoguang vomited once after eating half a flower cake..."

Zhao Xiwei paused for a moment with the hand holding the chopsticks: "Vomit?"

"Yes." A Lu was taken aback, quickly waved his hands, and explained: "It's not what the Crown Princess thought! Princess Yaoguang just vomited, not as serious as Princess Nanxing!"
