food queen

Chapter 368
Qingliang Hall is built on the water, surrounded by empty corridors and winding bamboo curtains, the hall is extremely quiet and cool.The iceberg pavilion on the golden plate in front of the couch gradually melted, and the faces of the figures became blurred. Small drops of water slid down the beautifully carved clothes and landed on the plate with a soft ringing sound.

Han Qian woke up from a horrified dream, with sweat dripping from her forehead, dampening a few strands of hair, sticking sticky to her temples.

"Are you awake?" Yun Shuo just entered the door and saw Han Qian who was lying on the two couches staring at the roof with his big eyes. The yellow veil wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said in a pitiful tone, "Look at the sweat on her forehead after sleeping, I'm afraid of heat, but you are more afraid of heat than me."

Han Qian sat up and brushed her temples. The thin sleeves slid down, revealing a snow-white arm covered with gold inlaid jade, which made her skin white and jade-like.She turned her face and fell back on the couch, as if she was still about to sleep.

Yun Shuo said: "It's better to get up, sleep until now after lunch, and stop eating carefully." He held her plain white fan casually and fanned it for her, "There are new grapes from Turpan. , I told them to cool it with ice water, do you want to eat it?"

"Yeah." Han Qian finally regained some energy, and there was a bit of brilliance in her big misty eyes.

Yun Shuo suddenly laughed and turned his head to look outside the bead curtain. Wu Sibao, who was very discerning, hurriedly ordered people to get the grapes.

This year, there are ten carts of grapes in Turpan, and less than one cart is left in the summer palace.Then it was carefully selected by the palace people, carefully stored, and finally sent to the Qingliang Palace, it was only a few large plates.

The green grapes are crystal clear, and when you put them in your mouth, the thin skin will break, and the sweet juice will moisten your throat and reach your heart and spleen.

After eating a few grapes, Han Qian suddenly asked, "How many more grapes are there?"

Naturally, Yun Shuo didn't know this, so he turned to look at Wu Sibao.Wu Sibao hurriedly bowed and replied: "Madam, this year's weather is hot, and the journey from Turpan to the capital was bumpy. Most of the top ten carts of grapes are rotten. Now that they are carefully selected and brought in, they are only two baskets."

"Give some to mother." Han Qian said.

Wu Sibao hurriedly bowed and smiled: "Go back to your mother, Your Majesty has already ordered someone to send a basket to the Dachang Princess' mansion yesterday."

Han Qian turned around and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yun Shuo waved his hand towards Wu Sibao, signaling everyone to go down, Fang reached out to hold her hand, twisted it lightly, and asked, "I've been so sleepy these past few days, but the poison of the Gu Xiang from before hasn't been cured yet?"

"It's nothing, Master Wei just checked my pulse." Han Qian shook his head.

Master Wei, of course it is Wei Lingfeng.This time the emperor came to escape the summer heat, and the imperial physician who followed him was headed by Wei Lingfeng.It has become a routine to come in every three days to ask the Empress for her pulse.

"In this weather, it's still terribly hot even when the sun goes down. You have to wait until midnight to get a good night's sleep. How can you not sleep if you only sleep for a few hours a day?" Han Qian sighed.

"It's all right to ask someone to put more ice, how difficult is this?" Yun Shuo said with a light smile.

Also, if you are afraid of heat, put more ice, what a big deal.As a result, the number of ice basins in Qingliang Hall doubled that night.

On a hot day, whether it is a summer resort or an imperial palace, it is equally hot.The difference between the two places is that the summer resort palace is quieter than the imperial palace. There is no morning court every day, and there is only one small court meeting. Several accompanying cabinet elders and six important officials gather together to report on the affairs of the court. The decision is gone.

In this way, the emperor spends more time with the queen every day.

In mid-June, Mrs. Zhen Guogong went to the funeral.Han Qian couldn't go back, so he wrote an elegiac couplet with his own hand and asked someone to send it back quickly. He also asked the supporting teacher in the Cixin Nunnery to take twenty little nuns to Zhen Guogong's mansion to chant scriptures and pray for salvation, and accompanied them all the way until the town. The coffin of the Duke's wife was sent to the Han family temple and parked properly before returning to the nunnery.

At the end of June, after the funeral of the Duke of Zhen was settled quickly, Pingguoer and Qianye rushed to the summer resort.

Han Qian leaned on the couch and listened to Pingguo'er describe the big and small things that happened at home in the past month, and listened to the recent food and clothing of her mother, the princess, and the recurrence of her illness.

Apple went into every detail, and told Han Qian everything that had happened in the past month or so. He kept talking about how many cars there were at dusk after lunch.

"Oh, this servant has forgotten an important matter." Apple suddenly shook her head and blamed herself, "When I saw her, this servant still thought that I must tell the empress first about this matter, and see you later. Madam, but I forgot again."

"What's the matter?" Han Qian took a sip of tea, then handed the tea cup in his hand to Apple, "We'll talk after moistening our throat."

Apple thanked En, drank the tea in the teacup in two sips, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice: "My servant has seen Miss Shao."

"What Miss Shao?" Han Qian asked with a frown.

Pingguo looked around, then leaned closer to Han Qian, and lowered her voice extremely low: "It's Shao Suwen, the concubine of Master Shao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the girl Shao who seduced His Majesty before."

"Hmph." When Han Qian heard that it was her, she was inexplicably annoyed, so she sneered and said, "Why, could it be that she has become a monk and can still come out to make trouble?"

"Who has come out to make trouble?" The emperor's clear voice came from outside.

Pingguo hurriedly stopped talking, stood up and knelt down to greet her.Han Qian also stood up from the couch, and when he approached Fang Qingqing gave a blessing, and called out sweetly: "Brother Emperor."

Yun Shuo held Han Qian's hand, Fang turned his head to look at Pingguo'er who was kneeling on the ground, and said indifferently: "It just so happens that you are here, Qianye has already asked me, I always don't like to act arbitrarily, now Let me ask you in front of your master, if you are willing, I am willing to give you this honor."

Han Qian chuckled and said, "The emperor's elder brother said so, how dare Apple be so frivolous?"

Apple hurriedly continued to bow its head and thank you.

Yun Shuofang smiled lightly: "Since this is the case, then I will leave this matter to Wu Miao to take care of it. From now on, the two of you should work together."

Han Qian also smiled and said, "Let the nanny take care of the dowry. I'll ask my brother to buy you a house outside. When it's cleaned up, you can take care of it. It's always too late, so delay it." Going on, it seems like we are harsh."

"The empress is benevolent and virtuous, and slaves can't repay her!" Pingguoer choked on her sobs.

Han Qian waved his hands and said, "Okay! This is a happy event, but you started to cry. You are really tired these days, go down and rest first."

After thanking Apple, she withdrew.

Yun Shuofang smiled lightly and said to Han Qian: "How is it? I have a concern for you, right? How can I thank you tonight?"
