Divine Doctor Poison Concubine: Miss Waste

Chapter 385 Unexpected visitor
"Mujin, bring me the snacks I made!" After taking a sip of Xueyan, Xia Qingge called softly to Mujin who was waiting outside the door.

As soon as her voice fell, Mu Jin walked in steadily with a food box. After saluting to the Queen Mother and Xia Qingge, she placed the lychee-flavored cake that Xia Qingge made for the Queen Mother on the table.

"What kind of pastry is this? It looks quite novel from the outside!" When the brightly colored pastry was placed in front of the Queen Mother, her curiosity flashed across her eyes. Xia Qingge chuckled, secretly amused, seeing There are still many advantages to accumulating thousands of years of experience, at least it is very simple to come up with new tricks.

"Qing Ge made this by himself when he had nothing to do. He once read a long-lost cookbook, which gave a brief introduction to this kind of pastry. Qing Ge was curious and tried to make it himself. I don’t know if my aunt likes it or not.”

"Hehe, so this pastry is still a rarity? The Ai family must try it!" The queen mother picked up the chopsticks next to her, and was about to pick up a piece of chopsticks and put it in the plate to taste, but suddenly walked up to the previous year. A woman in her [-]s, "Master, let this old slave try it for you first!"

The queen mother frowned, turned her face and glanced at the woman beside her, seemingly displeased, and said, "You can just try the food delivered by the imperial dining room, what's wrong with the dim sum made by girl Qingge herself! "

"Miss Qing Ge is very filial, and this old slave is very moved and gratified, but the rules in the palace cannot be wasted. For your safety, the Queen Mother, let the old slave taste it first, and then you can savor it carefully!"

Xia Qingge raised her eyes and took a closer look at the woman. She was wearing a dark green palace satin and plain snow silk skirt, with a round face and bright eyes. Her weathered face still retained the features left over from her youth. It is not difficult to see that this woman must have been a good-looking woman when she was young.

With a chuckle, Xia Qingge looked at the queen mother and said, "Old aunt, let this nanny try it for you, this nanny is right, the rules in the palace cannot be broken, and besides, it's all Thinking about your safety."

The Queen Mother put down her chopsticks and sighed, "Okay then, since Qing Ge girl has already spoken, come and try it, Nanny Chen!"

"Yes!" Nanny Chen looked indifferent, walked to the Queen Mother, carefully took out her pair of silver chopsticks, picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth gracefully and gently, she closed her eyes slightly, and after a while, she just backed away "Report to the Empress Dowager, you can taste it now, this pastry is safe!"

"You don't need to remind Aijia!" The queen mother snorted coldly, picked up a piece of pastry with her chopsticks and took a graceful bite. Xia Qingge sat quietly beside her, carefully observing the changes between the two of them. She has been with the Queen Mother for a long time, but the two of them always have a feeling of incongruity. I don't know if it is her illusion, but she always feels that this Nanny Chen is not as simple as it appears on the surface!
The Empress Dowager's complexion was not good, Nanny Chen lowered her head deeply, and retreated respectfully.

The queen mother didn't take another look at her, picked up a piece of pastry with chopsticks and put it in her mouth to taste slowly, "Hehe, the taste is extremely sweet, you're the one who is careful, knowing that Ai's family likes to eat lychees on weekdays, this pastry is delicious as soon as you eat it." It’s not difficult to taste that you’ve put a lot of thought into it.”

"It's good that the old aunt likes it. Qing Ge is still worried along the way. The old aunt has a noble status, and in this palace there is the world's most top-notch imperial chef serving meals every day. Qing Ge's making these cakes is probably the same as the imperial chef's. Things are very different." Xia Qingge said very modestly.

The queen mother chuckled and looked at her, "Aijia doesn't think so. The dim sum you made is much better than those made by the royal chef in the palace. Maybe it's because Ai's family lives in the palace. I don't like the things made in the imperial dining room. I’m already tired of eating it, and now I suddenly eat such a pastry, and I really feel the aftertaste.”

"The emperor is here!" A shrill voice accompanied by the appearance of a dazzling bright yellow dragon robe made the hall instantly quiet.

"See the emperor, long live the emperor!" After Xia Qingge saw who was coming, he knelt down along with the maids and eunuchs who were waiting in the hall.

Emperor Qin Wu took steady steps and walked to the Queen Mother's side without turning his eyes.

"Shouldn't the emperor discuss state affairs with the ministers in the imperial study at this time? Why did you come to Ai's house today?" The empress dowager's face was calm, she leaned back on the chair, and her whole body's aura was instantly revealed.

Emperor Wu of Qin looked up at the Queen Mother for a moment, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the white figure kneeling beside him, "On weekdays, I have been busy with state affairs, so I have less time to spend with the Queen Mother. Put those memorials in the study aside, thinking about concentrating on talking with the queen mother."

Emperor Wu Qin said in a low voice to the maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground in the hall, "Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!" Xia Qingge stood up slowly along with the crowd, his head was slightly lowered, and he never raised his eyes to look around.

Emperor Qin Wu rested his eyes on Xia Qingge, and paused for a while, "I never expected to see Miss Qingge from Xia Mansion here!"

The Empress Dowager followed Qin Wudi's eyes, looked at Xia Qingge beside her, and took her hand affectionately, and Xia Qingge was forced to sit beside the Empress Dowager.

"This girl turned to visit Ai's family. Of the younger generation, only Si and Qingge miss Ai's family the most!" Thinking of the sad look on the face of the Fourth Princess and Empress Dowager, since Xia Qingge came in Try not to mention the fourth princess. While chatting with the queen mother, Xia Qingge thought that the death of the fourth princess would not have much impact on the queen mother. After all, she was the queen mother once. It's numb, but with the passage of time, how many people or things can make her come back to her sincerity?

But now it seems that Xia Qingge doesn't know whether the empress dowager's grief is really from the heart or just for acting.

"The queen mother has filtered it. The fifth princess of the concubine Xian and the sixth princess of the concubine Chen also miss you very much. The queen mother and grandchildren are full of children and grandchildren. How can you make my son and eighth brother feel so sorry for you?" Qin Wudi said with a look of panic.

Since ancient times, obedience and filial piety have always been the first priority, even if that person is today's sage, ninety-five supreme, no exception.

"Those two girls Aijia don't like any of them." The queen mother refuted without mercy, Xia Qingge's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he glanced at Qin Wudi from the corner of his eyes, the latter's expression changed from the moment of submissiveness at the beginning It became gloomy, but this emotion was only fleeting.

"Qiuyue, watch tea for the emperor!"

"Yes!" Qiuyue took the order to retreat to make tea, and the other maids in the palace also left the room one after another.

"Since the emperor has the filial piety today to push away the mountain of memorials and come to visit Ai's family, then sit down and have a cup of tea first! The taste of this new tribute is really good!" The empress dowager's bright red lips curled up slightly. At the beginning, a trace of coquettishness flashed across his fair and delicate face, Xia Qingge looked at it and secretly admired, the emperor is now in his forties, even if the empress dowager gave birth to the emperor at the age of 15, no matter what, it is time to know her fate, why? Her skin and appearance remain in her 30s?Sitting in front of the emperor did not reveal her real age at all.
