Hou Fu Di Daughter-in-Law

Chapter 21
Jiang Chenqi nodded slightly to let the butler go to work, and walked into the hall.I didn't find a few oddly shaped ceramic figurines beside the threshold.

Greeting Master Hou with a natural expression, Jiang Chenqi noticed that Xie Jinghuai seemed nervous, and said with a smile: "The misunderstanding between you and me has been explained clearly, Master Hou cares about me and persuades me to stay away from King Shen, thank you for your concern."

Xie Jinghuai looked a little unnatural, and picked up the teapot to pour water, "I was impulsive that day. I didn't have much contact with Prince Shen, so I have no right to criticize the prince. This is a special herbal tea that can soothe the nerves and nourish the brain. You can taste it, it's delicious Take some with you when you go back.”

Pick up the teacup and smell the fragrance of grass and trees, which smells better than tea.Jiang Chenqi didn't take a drug test, thinking that Ming Yinghou would not murder her, so she drank a few mouthfuls of herbal tea and thought it tasted good.

Drinking a few more sips to taste the sweetness of the herbal tea, Jiang Chenqi smiled and said that the taste is okay, "If Hou Ye is willing, you can give me some more herbal tea and take it home to drink slowly. It takes a lot of brains to process the files, I need herbal tea Fill your brain."

She didn't vomit blood and didn't change her face. It seemed that Jiang Chenqi didn't have Gu worms in her head, which made Xie Jinghuai feel more at ease, "I asked Lin Feng to bring you medicinal tea, and I bought a lot."

Lin Feng came back after going out for a while, put a small incense burner on the window sill, and did not forget to hand Lin Yuan a basket of herbal tea.

Lin Yuan glanced at the censer and saw white smoke being blown into the hall by the wind.

Smelling the cloying fragrance of flowers, Jiang Chenqi found the incense burner on the window sill.I thought that Master Hou actually liked this kind of incense, it's really unbelievable.

Lin Jiao brought a plate of pastries and placed them an inch away from Jiang Chenqi.

Greeting Jiang Chenqi to eat pastries, Xie Jinghuai praised the pastry chef in the house for his good cooking skills, "The family likes to eat pastry, and there are several pastry chefs working in the Hou Mansion. They can make special pastries from all over the country. This is a kind of pastry from Nanban, which tastes very good Refreshing."

It was the first time I heard that the pastry can refresh the mind. Jiang Chenqi picked up the pastry and ate it. The familiar taste made people feel dazed. "Why is it garlic-flavored pastry? It's really special to taste it for the first time."

After gulping down a piece of pastry, Jiang Chenqi took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and had no intention of continuing to taste.I don't know how much garlic is added to the pastry. Eating pastry has the illusion of eating garlic.

Xie Jinghuai smiled embarrassedly, feeling puzzled when he saw Commander Jiang was fine.Could it be that the Gu worms on Jiang Chenqi's body were so rare that the common methods of exorcising them didn't work.

The maid served the dishes with a tray, and soon the table was full of dishes.

Jiang Chenqi is used to drinking soup before meals, Jiang Chenqi drank a few sips of fish soup, the strange taste made her frowned subconsciously, "Have you changed the cook in the house, the fish soup tastes strange and not tasty, not as delicious as Linyuan's stewed fish soup. Yes Why didn't you see Qu Yibie, did you send him back to Qu's house?"

Jiang Chenqi did not respond after taking a sip of fish soup, Xie Jinghuai wished to feed Jiang Chenqi a few more sips, "Qu Yi, don't stay idle in the Hou's mansion, go out in disguise, he intends to cause trouble for Xu Yu, dissatisfied that Xu Yu plotted against him. I asked the secret guard To protect his safety, if he doesn't want to be taken away by the emperor's people again, Qu Yi will not mess around."

Qu Yi don't teach Xu Yu a lesson, Jiang Chenqi is dissatisfied with Xu Shaoqing, and the plan against Xu Yu has been implemented.

Picking up the chopsticks to eat, Jiang Chenqi tasted the taste of a few dishes, then put down the chopsticks with a cold face, "Master Hou has an opinion on me, please tell me directly, there is no need to beat around the bush and make things difficult for me. I don't believe that Master Hou just eats these dishes when entertaining guests , is worse than the food made by Yuexuan, you can drive away the cook."

The food added with medicinal materials to repel Gu worms naturally did not have a good taste, Xie Jinghuai knew the reason, "I'm really sorry, you believe that I didn't neglect your thoughts, and specially asked the cook to prepare these meals."

Specially preparing unpalatable meals, it seems that in the eyes of Ming Yinghou, she is not the kind of distinguished guest who treats each other with courtesy, Jiang Chenqi snorted dissatisfiedly.

"Master Hou deliberately arranged it, and I have no luck to enjoy it. Master Hou tastes these delicacies slowly, and I still have to take a step ahead."

Getting up and preparing to leave, Jiang Chenqi felt that she was unlucky today. She met Ming Yinghou who had a special idea and became an unwelcome guest.

How can I leave? I'm not sure what kind of Gu worms are affecting Jiang Chenqi, Xie Jinghuai asked to keep Jiang Chenqi, "To tell you the truth, I'm worried about your body, you may be infected by Gu, so I tried every means to prove it. I don't know about you until now. What kind of Gu insects are on him, really worrying."

Doubting her own hearing, Jiang Chenqi realized why she had to step on the brazier, eat garlic-flavored pastries, and weird dishes. It can be seen that Ming Yinghou had prepared a lot of things.

Sincerely thanking Marquis Mingying for his kindness, Jiang Chenqi said affirmatively that she was not targeted by Gu worms, "Master Hou, you are worrying too much, I am not a soft persimmon to handle, little Gu worms dare not act presumptuously in front of me."

Xie Jinghuai asked about the origin of Baiwei, and the investigation results could not trace the past of Baiwei, which is very suspicious.

After listening to Lord Hou's patient explanation, Jiang Chenqi couldn't help but feel dumbfounded, "Master is a low-key and unpredictable person. It's normal for the prince not to find out his past information. Master has no fixed residence for his family, and won't live in one place for too long."

People who wander like dandelions live a peaceful life in hiding among the people, and it is even more difficult to find their traces if they are disguised.

Seeing Xie Jinghuai's expression of disbelief, Jiang Chenqi sighed helplessly, and it was a bit difficult to talk to the stubborn Ming Yinghou.

A smell of wine came from the door, and Baiwei lazily walked into the hall, "Master Hou doesn't understand Gu worms, these things you do can't drive away Gu worms, don't mess around if you don't understand anything."

Worried that Master would be suspected and angry, and hurt Ming Yinghou in a fit of anger.Jiang Chenqi had a vague premonition in her heart that Xie Jinghuai might not be the master's opponent.

Seeing Jiang Chenqi's master, Xie Jinghuai looked at him appraisingly, "Master Baiwei, please sit down, Commander Jiang is full of praise for you, don't disappoint Commander Jiang's expectations of you. From your tone, you know a lot about Gu worms, then You also know how to drive Gu worms."

Baiwei sat on the chair, picked up a clean teacup and poured tea for himself, "Master Hou knows that I will not hurt Commander Jiang, that's right. Commander Jiang is not a puppet without perception, so he is naturally different from the people in the rumors. King Shen's I can explain the matter, although I am a magic stick with some skills, I spent a lot of effort to change the fate of King Shen."

After drinking too much herbal tea, she felt sick to her stomach, so Jiang Chenqi got up to go for convenience, and when she came back, she found that Master was drinking with Marquis Ming Ying, and the hall was filled with a strong aroma of wine.

Finding that Master Hou misunderstood Jiang Chenqi, Lin Feng felt that Master Hou was concerned about Jiang Chenqi, so he put Jiang Chenqi in an important position in his heart, "Commander Jiang, don't be angry, Master Hou is afraid that you will be poisoned by bad people, and then your temperament will change drastically like King Shen. You It is the court ordering officer and a knife in the hands of the emperor, if you lose your reason and calmness, you will not have good fruit to eat."
