Chunman Palace

Chapter 121
Seeing Xuan Yin's arrangement, Lin Qingyu didn't want to say much, so he just saluted and told him to go back to the palace, but when he arrived at Yanxi Palace, Li Qiao led the palace staff to take away Xiaoyingzi who was in custody in the chaifang.

Lin Qingyu called Mo'er, and whispered: "You go and assign someone to follow Li Qiao to have a look."

Mo'er looked up at her suspiciously, and when she saw the seriousness of the person, she asked Tuan'er to follow behind quietly to check.

After Tuan'er went out with her, Mo'er said: "Is your lady thinking too much? If Xiaoyingzi really delivered the anti-fetal medicine according to the emperor's order, he would not be able to escape if something went wrong. Poison him."

Lin Qingyu entered the room, looking at the asters that were blooming on the table, her expression was a little dazed, "It's not that I suspect that he poisoned, but I'm afraid that this bowl of medicine is originally meant by the emperor."

Mo'er was undoing the cloak on Lin Qingyu's body, when she heard this, she couldn't help but pause, "Your Majesty, I don't dare to say that... Your Majesty, he probably won't do it, right? You know, Your Majesty is a person who looks very closely at his heirs."

Lin Qingyu was overwhelmed by this troublesome worry, and she didn't want to say anything more, she just said: "Go and see if Tuan'er is back, let her come in and report back immediately after returning to the palace."

"Okay." Mo'er picked up a stack of water-blue radiance Huahua on the table, with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, ma'am, as long as we are careful, no one can harm us. These forging Is Zixiao mainly made into clothes?"

Lin Qingyu shook her head, "Bring it."

She put her hand on the water-blue brocade and stroked it lightly. It was really smooth and soft. She picked up the scissors and cut it across the middle of the brocade. Mo'er couldn't help saying in horror: "Mother, this But the brocade sent by the emperor, why did you cut it?"

Lin Qingyu said indifferently: "It's going to be autumn soon, the Empress is cold, wouldn't it be more useful to make this brocade into a few stove covers."

Mo'er twitched the corner of her mouth: "But this brocade is said to be very rare. It's a pity that the lady made a stove cover before the clothes were cut."

Lin Qingyu smiled irrefutably: "Is Yanxi Palace lacking any good materials and clothing now? The most important thing in gift giving is the heart, but this heart has to be seen and felt by others. It counts."

"It's fine if the empress likes it." Mo'er put down the brocades, and said, "This servant is going to get some cotton wool, it will be softer to put in this stove cover."

When he was going out, Tuan'er was also walking back to the palace, Mo'er saw that he was out of his mind, and raised his voice, "Tuan'er, the empress is waiting for your reply inside, go quickly."

Hearing this, Tuan'er trotted all the way into the hall.

When Lin Qingyu heard footsteps, she knew that Tuan'er was coming, "How about it, what did you see?"

"The servant girl followed Eunuch Li Qiao quietly, but did not go to the Qingxin Hall. I only saw Eunuch Li Qiao ordered someone to drag Xiaoyingzi to the well, and then, then..."

Lin Qingyu asked suspiciously: "Then what? Xiaoyingzi was killed?"

Tuan'er said tremblingly: "My maidservant didn't know if Xiaoyingzi was dead or not. Eunuch Li Qiao later ordered someone to cover the well. Afterwards, my maidservant didn't dare to look or make a sound. She hid herself until the people left before running back. In the palace."

"You go..." Lin Qingyu thought for a moment, then sighed again: "Forget it, it's too late to send someone to rescue Xiaoyingzi now, remember, you have to keep this matter secret, and you can't mention it to anyone, otherwise your life will be fatal." Save."

Tuan'er nodded again and again: "This servant knows that this servant will never mention this moment to others."

Lin Qingyu waved his hands and said, "Go down."

Hearing this news, she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and couldn't help feeling a lot of suspicion and fear in her heart.

Xiaoyingzi was really sent by the emperor to deliver anti-fetal medicine, so who would pass this medicine without being noticed?Queen Mother?Or the Queen?Or, it was the emperor who dropped the nuxony.

But no matter who it was, the emperor made it clear that he didn't want to delve into the matter, and instead sent Li Qiao to lead people to silence Xiaoyingzi, which was done neatly.

And when she mentioned that the anti-fetal medicine was inappropriate, the emperor was also very calm and did not show the slightest shock. From this, it can be seen that the emperor must be well aware of the fact that there are nux in the anti-fetal medicine...

There is a faint cool air flowing between breaths, and every bit of it is tightly locked in the sky spirit, and in a moment, it turns into a thin leaf-like coolness that freezes the scalp.

She tilted her head slightly, and the powder gauze fell on the ground, rolling up the bleak autumn wind, leaving soft and bright colors like peach blossoms in spring, misty like rippling water, making people look very unreal.

She subconsciously pinched her arm with her hand, it was extremely painful, everything now is not false.

She laughed suddenly, and the pearl pendant on her head shone coldly, just like her heart at this moment was as cold as an ice stone.

It seems that in this deep palace, it would not be too strange for anything to happen. Everyone here is such a calculating person, and she still hopes to live a peaceful and peaceful life like drinking white water.

But it's all delusional.

Mo'er came in and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty Empress has come to see you."

Lin Qingyu groaned for a moment, and her eyes began to think: Although she has a relationship with the empress in terms of interests, the two of them do not have much private contact. This is also the first time that the empress has come to Yanxi Palace to look for her on her own initiative. business.

She thought for a moment, then said, "Go make a pot of jasmine tea."

"Okay." Mo'er responded and went.

Afterwards, the empress walked in gracefully, with the golden phoenix, Luan Dandan hairpin on her head, which was extremely luxurious, and the oriental beads on it shone with the sun's light when she walked, she was extremely majestic and dignified, with a myriad of demeanors.

Lin Qingyu saluted slightly: "The concubine pays her respects to the empress, and the empress is blessed and safe."

The queen smiled and said: "Get up quickly, concubine, you have a body now, you don't need to perform these rituals."

Lin Qingyu said politely: "The concubine is still in good shape now, so naturally I can't lose my manners. When the month is older, the concubine will have to work hard for a long time."

The queen smiled lightly and said: "Yes, the most sad thing is when a pregnant woman shows her pregnancy. When the belly is round, you have to stay in the palace and avoid going out. If you are bumped by someone, something will happen."

"The empress is a person who has given birth, so naturally she knows a lot more than the concubine. In the future, the concubine will ask the empress to teach the concubine more." Lin Qingyu lowered the corner of her eyes with a smile, and said: "The empress, please sit down."

"Okay." The queen nodded with a smile, and the two sat down together. She quickly noticed the stack of water-blue brocade on the table, and said, "Sister, hasn't this brocade been cut into clothes yet? I remember, it's my sister." Some of them were specially rewarded by the emperor during pregnancy, if you don’t make them into clothes as soon as possible, you won’t be able to wear them when you’re a month old.”

Mo'er brought over the brewed jasmine tea, "Your Majesty, please drink some tea."

Lin Qingyu picked up the teacup, and gently sniffed the quiet fragrance of flowers, "The empress has good eyesight. This piece of brocade is the one that the emperor rewarded, but the concubine has already cut it, and it is going to be made into a stove cover and given to the empress."

The queen opened her lips slightly in surprise, then shook her head and sighed: "Sister, sister, it's good for you to keep such a good brocade, why bother cutting it into some kind of stove cover, there are all kinds of satin in the palace, you have to make it Just pick and choose, why bother.”

Lin Qingyu said with a smile: "The concubine knows that the empress is always afraid of the cold, and seeing that it is almost autumn, it is inevitable that it will be cold, so I made it early and gave it to the empress, it is also a little affection from the concubine to the empress."

"Sister's affection for Bengong, Bengong is naturally aware of it, it's not about these empty gifts." The queen picked up the teacup, smelled it, and praised with a smile: "It's so fragrant tea, does my sister like to drink these scented teas?"

Lin Qingyu took a sip of tea slowly, and said: "Yes, my concubine likes the fragrance and sweetness of scented tea. I wonder if I can ask the empress to use this jasmine honey dew?"

"Naturally." The queen sipped lightly, and then smiled with satisfaction, "I have long heard that my sister is good at making scented tea, and the rose dew I made before is even more fragrant, and this jasmine tea is also fragrant and sweet, and tastes very good. "

"In the past, the concubines let Mo'er take the scented tea and make it themselves. Now there are many roses and jasmines in the palace. The concubines pick them to make tea in their spare time, which is more delicious." Lin Qingyu pondered and smiled: "Queen As long as the empress likes it, the concubine thought that the empress only drank Biluochun, and was afraid that the scented tea would be too bland."

The queen put down the cup and said with a smile: "How could it be? My sister's skill in making tea is as superb as that of making cakes. Everyone will like the things I make. I still remember that my sister used to be good at making cakes."

Hearing this, Lin Qingyu couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and fell into deep thought.

In the past, the pastries she made were for the emperor and Mu Pingting, but she seldom tasted them. Since she went to Huahua State, let alone pastries, even eating something sweet is a luxury.And during that time, she wanted to eat cakes very much, and when she thought about it, it became a shortcoming in her heart. After returning to the palace, she was full of scheming, and she was not in the mood to make any cakes.

The queen looked at the man in ecstasy, and sighed softly: "I don't know if it is still possible for me to eat the pastries made by my sister."

Lin Qingyu smiled sweetly: "The concubine hasn't made pastry for a long time... If the empress doesn't mention it now, the concubine will forget about her skill."

The queen said with some regret: "Well, this palace is still thinking about whether my sister has the cakes that I made today. I want to taste some of them and learn how my sister makes them. Perhaps, when the emperor was tired, I tasted the cakes made by this palace. If you have good cakes, you will think of Bengong Yier? Unlike my sister, even if you don’t make cakes, the emperor will take care of you and come to visit often.”

Lin Qingyu looked at the Queen's expression slightly, and knew the purpose of the Queen's visit, so he said: "If the Empress misses the cakes made by the concubine, then the concubine can make some and give it to the Empress."

The queen showed joy, but soon frowned again: "How is this good? My sister is pregnant, if I still work hard for me, I will feel very sorry."

Lin Qingyu slightly lowered his head and smiled and said, "It's okay, I just ask Mo'er to help me. I will write down the materials and production methods later, and give them to the empress as well."

The queen was already smiling from ear to ear, "Okay, I really saw the right person."

"Then the concubine will go to the small kitchen first, and ask the empress to wait for a while." Lin Qingyu glanced at Mo'er, whispered something in her ear, and Mo'er hurried out.

Lin Qingyu followed behind and turned into the small kitchen.

After a while, Mo'er came back with Lin Qingyu carrying a redwood and gold-patterned food box. The queen put down the teacup in her hand and said with a smile, "Your hard work sister, please sit down and have a rest."

Lin Qingyu smiled softly, and ordered Mo'er to take out the pastries in the box, and introduced them to the Queen one by one: "This dish is peony rolls, this dish is milk tea powder cake, this dish is golden silk rose cake, this is Fudie jujube paste golden jujube Cake, and these lotus root starch balls, with red bean paste and barley filling, sweet and sour plum filling, peanut powder and walnut filling, please eat something fresh."

The queen put some into her mouth with her chopsticks, and she immediately smiled: "My sister's craftsmanship is still the same as before, and the taste is really much more delicious than that of the dining room." She put down the chopsticks, and asked slightly sadly: "My sister is not tired. Bar?"

"The empress praises you, everyone can make these cakes, and the concubine is just skilled." Lin Qingyu took a sip of tea and said, "Mo'er helped me knead the dough and sprinkle the flour just now, and the concubine just learned from it." Just to mention, it's not too tiring."

After finishing speaking, Lin Qingyu instructed Mo'er: "Pack up these pastries. The lotus root powder and the dumplings need to be separated, so that the empress will not be lumped together when she returns to the palace."

The queen's face was slightly touched, and she said happily: "It's hard for you to make so many cakes for this palace because you are pregnant. This palace is really sorry." She raised her hand to caress the jade Luanfeng jade bracelet on her wrist, and said: " This emerald jade bracelet was a gift from the emperor when I was named Empress, and the blue luan bird on it is carved so lifelike, I love it very much, and I have always been reluctant to wear it."

She slowly took it off her wrist and handed it to Lin Qingyu, "Now, I will borrow flowers to present Buddha to you."

Lin Qingyu hurriedly said: "The concubine is terrified, since this jade bracelet is the empress's favourite, how can the concubine take it away from others?"

The queen smiled kindly: "What's the matter, let me be your thank you for helping me make cakes."

Lin Qingyu lowered his eyebrows and said: "It is a blessing for my concubines to do my best for the empress. This jadeite bracelet is a gift from the emperor to the empress. It is so precious that my concubine cannot accept it."

"Noble or not, they are all dead things. Didn't you also cut out the brocade rewarded by the emperor to make a stove cover for this palace? If that's the case, don't shirk it anymore." The queen gently pulled Lin Qingyu past him She put it on her wrist with a smile, and was full of praise: "That's right, this emerald matches your skin tone very well."

Lin Qingyu smiled: "The concubine would like to thank the empress."

"That's right, put it away with peace of mind and don't need to see outside." The queen looked up at the window and said, "Well, it's getting late, I'm going back to the palace first."

Lin Qingyu wanted to stand up and salute, but the queen stopped her with her hand, "My sister is pregnant and has been working hard for the palace just now, so let's take a good rest and don't send it off."

The queen smiled and nodded towards the person, and then let Shu Xiang leave with the pastry.
