Chapter 626 Warmth (5)
Liu Qiao remained silent.

Empress Dowager Mingrui looked at her, "Aqiao, after all, I still value myself and the emperor more than Yong'an. It was because I decided to use Yong'an to lure away the pursuers at the beginning because I knew I couldn't die! My son's future is determined by my death! Then you will lose your protection! The Ai family chose themselves and the emperor, and gave up Yong'an."

Liu Qiao looked at her with a calm expression.

"So no matter how much Aijia worships the Buddha and how much he condemns himself, he can't erase his sins." Empress Dowager Mingrui continued, "Yong'an...she won't forgive me."

Liu Qiao looked at the sad and guilty person in front of him, his heart fluctuated, but... "Empress Dowager, maybe it is selfish for you to do this, but if I were your business, maybe you would do the same."

Empress Dowager Mingrui opened her eyes and held her hand tightly, "Really?"

"En." Liu Qiao said with a smile, "It's not a difficult choice between a life that hasn't appeared yet and your own son who raised an adult. Even if you give up Princess Yong'an in the end... Maybe it's a little heartless, but if the Queen Mother dies, Princess Yong'an must have a hard time."

"You really think so?" Empress Dowager Mingrui's voice trembled.

Liu Qiao nodded: "So, she will forgive you."

"Aqiao..." Empress Dowager Mingrui's expression also trembled, and mist appeared in her eyes, "Will...will you really forgive Aijia?"

Liu Qiao smiled and continued to nod.

"Okay... okay..." Empress Dowager Mingrui smiled with tears in her eyes.

Liu Qiao continued: "So the Empress Dowager doesn't have to blame herself so much anymore, and relax her heart, so that she can take care of her body and wait until the day when Princess Yong'an returns."

Empress Dowager Mingrui nodded.

Liu Qiao didn't know why she suddenly mentioned these things to her, but one thing is certain, that is, she trapped herself in one place and spent all her time thinking about it, "The Queen Mother won't let her go out!" Let's go, the weather is not hot now, just go for a walk in the imperial garden, don't stay in the Buddhist hall all day, as long as you have a Buddha in your heart, no matter whether you are in front of the Buddha, the Buddha will know."

Empress Dowager Mingrui nodded, "The Ai family listens to you."

Liu Qiao spoke comforting words for a while, "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in two days. I heard that there is a family banquet in the palace. The queen mother joins in the fun?"

"You come too." Empress Dowager Mingrui said.

Liu Qiao shook his head with a smile: "Queen Mother, I am only a courtier's wife. It is not appropriate to attend the royal family banquet."

The light in Empress Dowager Mingrui's eyes was gradually fading.

"Besides, I also have to accompany my husband." Liu Qiao continued with a smile, "I've been out for such a long time, if I don't accompany him, I'm afraid he will be angry."

Empress Dowager Mingrui smiled, "That's right, once you get married, you should be with your husband's family."

Liu Qiao stayed in the palace until Youshi before leaving, and when he left, he brought a lot of rewards with him, but he was stopped by Li Cheng'an just after he left the palace gate of the harem.

"Eunuch Li."

Li Chengan returned the salute respectfully: "Mrs. Yi."

"I don't know if Eunuch Li is here..."

"Oh." Li Chengan said with a smile, "It was the emperor who asked the servant to wait for his wife here."

"What orders does the emperor have?" Liu Qiao asked.

Li Cheng'an said with a smile: "The emperor heard that Madam's gourmet shop can make a birthday cake for people. The emperor said that he would like to try it. I hope Madam Yi can personally make one and send it to the palace."

Liu Qiao was taken aback.

"Is there any difficulty for Mrs. Yi?" Li Chengan asked.

Liu Qiao smiled wryly in his heart, but smiled on his face, "Of course not, it's just that according to the palace rules, food is not allowed to be brought into the palace, this..."

"Madam can rest assured about this." Li Cheng'an said, "Madam can just do the work, and the other slaves will arrange it."

"That's good." Liu Qiao said with a smile, "I wonder when the emperor wants it?"

"When is it convenient for Madam?" Li Chengan asked.

Liu Qiao smiled and said, "Where do you use the word convenience? If the emperor is free tomorrow, I will make it and send it to the palace tomorrow."

"That's good." Li Cheng'an replied, "Madam doesn't need to be sent to the palace, the servant will pick it up at a certain time."

Liu Qiao nodded, "Then please Eunuch Li go to the gourmet shop before midnight."

"Okay." Li Chengan replied, "Mrs. Yi, don't make a mistake, it's a birthday cake."

Liu Qiao took a breath, "Don't worry, Father-in-law, I will remember."

After leaving the palace and getting into the carriage, Liu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't get rid of the depression in his heart, what is this?Don't recognize her but ask her to give him a birthday present?

Want to try it?
What does the emperor want to taste and needs her to sit in person?

Obviously asking her for a birthday present!

Outrageous!

But no matter how annoyed he was, he could only endure it, who made the other party the emperor!

Don't say he didn't recognize her, even if he did, his own sister would be chopped off if the emperor's lord was upset!
Yi Zhiyun didn't come back too late at night. After seeing Mrs. Yun, he went back to the main courtyard, but he didn't see Liu Qiao, "Where's Madam?"

"Madam is in the kitchen." The little maid replied.

Yi Zhiyun was taken aback for a moment, then went to the kitchen, and saw Liu Qiao busy there.

"I'm back." Liu Qiao stopped working.

Yi Zhiyun frowned, walked over and raised his hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead, "Why are you here?"

"I'll make you dinner." Liu Qiao said.

Yi Zhiyun gritted his teeth when he heard her words, and was taken aback, didn't he offend her?What's wrong? "What happened?"

"You all go out." Liu Qiao said to the others.

Everyone withdrew.

Yi Zhiyun frowned, "What's wrong?"

"The emperor wants to eat the birthday cake I made." Liu Qiao said while cutting something in his hand.

Yi Zhiyun was taken aback, "Don't want to do it?"

"No." Liu Qiao looked at him, "It's just that I feel uncomfortable!"

"So make me dinner?"

"I haven't been in the kitchen for several years!" Liu Qiao gritted his teeth, "Why did I make him a birthday cake for the first time in the kitchen?" She didn't make Yi Zhiyun's birthday cake this year, but he was the emperor Speak up!

Yi Zhiyun was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "You."

"Go out and wait, it will be ready soon!" Liu Qiao said.

Yi Zhiyun held his hands together, "I'll help you."

"Need not!"

"Good boy." Yi Zhiyun said, "I'll help you!"

Liu Qiao chopped the vegetables on the chopping board, "What do you think the emperor wants to do? If you don't recognize me, I will deny it. What are you doing now? He is the emperor, so he is happy?"

"In the future, if you don't like it, you will enter the palace less." Yi Zhiyun said, "He should have no ill intentions towards you."

Liu Qiao naturally knew, seeing him grimacing, "It's too bad Yi Zhiyun, I actually care about it."
