After the delicate beauty salted fish, the sick and weak prince kicked the door to coax

Chapter 142 Embarrassment
When Gu Xi saw this plate of pastries, his heart stopped. According to the prompt given by the system, this should be the plate of poisonous pastries.

Even if she had already taken the detoxification pill and became invulnerable to all poisons, she didn't want to take it.

Let alone the queen mother and Mrs. Hou eat it.

But what if it wasn't the plate of poisonous pastries?
But Gu Xi knew that she couldn't gamble on this eventuality.

The Empress Dowager was not in the mood to eat in the morning. Knowing that King Ning was fine, he was in a good mood and his appetite improved, so he felt hungry.

So Her Majesty picked up the pastry and prepared to eat a piece.

Seeing that the queen mother was about to eat, Gu Xi couldn't think about it anymore, took a deep breath, and said loudly to the queen mother,
"Your Majesty, I have a merciless request from the girl!"

The queen mother was startled by her sudden shout, and the pastry in her hand fell to the ground because she couldn't hold it firmly.

"Xi'er, how can you suddenly shout, this is a disrespect in front of the palace, you have scared the empress dowager, quickly kneel down and apologize."

Mrs. Hou was also taken aback by Gu Xi, and seeing that the queen mother was startled again, her face turned pale, and she knelt down while dragging Gu Xi.

"I also ask your mother to forgive me." Gu Xi obediently knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Don't blame the Ai family, get up quickly." The queen mother smiled and waved her hands, how could such a trivial matter be taken to her heart.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Gu Xi got up, and Madam Hou followed suit.

The queen mother simply wiped her hands, and was not in a hurry to eat, but looked at Gu Xi, "Tell me, what request do you have?"

"Minnv wants to ask my mother to reward me with these two plates of pastries, and Minnv wants to take them back to worship." Gu Xi said bravely.

This wave is really difficult, embarrassing, and shameful.

Even Gu Xi felt that the Queen Mother and others looked at her strangely.

But the situation was urgent, and the way the poisonous pastry came out was a little different from what she had guessed before.

One is that she didn't expect the emperor to send it, and the other is that she didn't expect the queen mother to eat it too.

Therefore, she couldn't think of a better way for a while.

"Why?" The Queen Mother also couldn't understand what she was going to do, "These are just two plates of ordinary pastries."

It's not Buddhist scriptures, so what are you offering?

It’s true that if you leave it for two days, it will be broken and you can’t eat it. If you leave it for a long time, it will become moldy.

"Ahem, Minnv told the Queen Mother just now that Minnv doesn't want to marry anyone, she just wants to leave Beijing and go back to the countryside.

However, Minnv's father wanted Minnv to marry Prince An.

If Minnu went back like this, she would definitely be blamed by her father, and she was afraid that her father would think too much, thinking that Minnu's refusal would be rejected by the Queen Mother.

Therefore, the Minnv wanted to ask for a reward from the Queen Mother, so that the Minnv could prove to her father that the Queen Mother never blamed the Minnv, and also use this to protect the Minnv from being blamed by her father. "

Gu Xi was quick to wit, and his lies became more and more plausible.

Madam Hou's heart was raised high, she was afraid that the Queen Mother would blame Master Hou for being ambitious, and she was also afraid that Gu Xi would not save face for the Hou Mansion, and then reveal other things.

She was not confident that Gu Xi would not say anything, because Gu Xi was no longer with the Hou family, and even had a grudge against Master Hou and the old lady.

"It's simple, the Ai family rewards you with some other things." The Queen Mother said with a smile,

"Although you can't be Aijia's granddaughter-in-law, Aijia really likes you very much.

Aijia supports you, let your mother go back and tell your father that if you dare to embarrass you, you will not give Aijia face. "

"I don't dare, my lady, my master doesn't even dare!" Mrs. Hou quickly knelt down on the ground and said palely.

"Thank you for your love!" Gu Xi smiled gratefully at the Queen Mother, and could only bite the bullet and continue talking nonsense.

"However, my lord, I feel that it is important to reward folk girls. Silk, satin, gold and jade are all too common. Even if my lord rewards them, it won't make people see how much they value folk girls.

However, these two plates of rose pastries are different!

First of all, she is the queen mother's favorite food, and the queen mother rewards the women, which also means that the queen mother loves the women.

Secondly, this plate of cakes was specially ordered by the emperor to be made by the imperial dining room for the empress. If you reward them to the women, it will show that you value the women.

Therefore, I beg your mother's permission to reward the two plates of pastries to the minnv, and let the minnv take them back to worship. "

As Gu Xi said, he knelt down and kowtowed again, with a serious face.

"It's just two plates of pastries. If you ask for it so much, I will reward you." The queen mother felt that Gu Xi's mouth was too eloquent.

For two plates of pastries, as for?

Doubts flashed across the Empress Dowager's mind.

Judging from the conversation just now, Gu Xi is a smart and polite girl who doesn't do unnecessary things. She must have a purpose in begging her so much.

Problem with these two pans of pastry?

"Your Majesty, these are not two plates of ordinary cakes. These are cakes that are loved by the most honorable emperor and empress dowager of the Qin Kingdom. They are very noble!"

With a sullen face, Gu Xi emphasized solemnly that he would believe in acting until he acted.

The queen mother was amused by her, temporarily suppressed her doubts, and said with a smile,
"I saw that you were very stable before, but it turns out that you still have a weird side."

"... Let the empress see a joke." Gu Xi was ashamed.

At this time, the system page popped up again, and he came to Gu Xi to check it out.

It shows that the task of sending a letter to the Queen Mother has been completed, and the rewards have been issued, so let her explore by herself.

When Gu Xi thought of movable type printing, most of the depression in his heart suddenly disappeared.

However, she had some doubts. After she told the Queen Mother about King Ning just now, she also saw the system page specifically. At that time, the task showed that it was not completed.

Could it be that the mission is not completed until she properly handles the plate of pastries?

If it is true, it means that this plate of pastries is poisonous, which should be regarded as a hidden task condition.

It seems that in the future, she will take seriously the background introduction of the task given by the system, maybe there is a pit hidden in it.

However, what made Gu Xi more concerned was where her rewards would be placed by the system.

It should not be in the palace, if it is, it will be very troublesome, it is not convenient for her to find it in the palace.

Although the system is cheap, it won't cheat her like this.
-
When Gu Xi and Mrs. Hou left with the cakes, the Queen Mother was silent for a moment, then suddenly frowned and said to Nanny Zhou,
"Where's the pastry that Ai's family dropped just now, let's try to see if it's poisonous?"

Nanny Zhou was startled, didn't ask anything, and hurriedly followed the Queen Mother's instructions.

There are some toxins that cannot be tested with silver needles. The Compassionate Ning Palace keeps some chickens just for testing poisons.

Nanny Zhou took back the piece of pastry that hadn't been disposed of, and tried it with a silver needle first, but it didn't turn black, and then she fed it to a little chicken.

After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, the little chick was poisoned. Although he didn't die, he passed out and had no reaction at all.

Nanny Zhou gasped, her face completely gloomy, and she hurried back to the Queen Mother to report the result.

"Queen Mother, this pastry is really poisonous!" Nanny Zhou was full of fear, "Fortunately Miss Gu stopped you from eating it just now, otherwise...it's a blessing!"
