Chapter 162 Everyone Will Play Stupid (2)

Dong Rong also guessed that after entering the palace, she would definitely face many judges, but she still underestimated how keen women are on gossip.She supported Wenniang's arm, and just followed a young eunuch in blue into the main hall of Shou'an Palace, but the various aromas that rushed to her face made her sneezed twice.

The two finger-thick golden hairpins that were originally inserted on the back of the head couldn't help shaking, and fell directly on the golden floor tiles. The sound of jingling was extremely loud in the quiet hall.

Wen Niang hurriedly bent down to pick up the golden hairpin and wanted to help her master insert it back, but she didn't know whether she was too nervous or her eyesight was bad. wing.With Dong Rong's golden silk dress, the gold pendants on her ears, and a pair of five taels of gold bracelets on her wrists, she looked like a moving golden mountain.

I don't know which concubine couldn't bear it anymore, she was the first to laugh, and then it spread to the whole hall, even the empress dowager covered her mouth with a handkerchief, coughing and laughing so hard that she almost fainted.

Princess Hongxia remembered the situation when she first met in the suburbs that day, and frowned suspiciously, but then turned to think about the identity of this woman and sneered, "The wild girl from the farm is just not on the stage. I thought she was the owner of some jewelry store."

The concubines managed to hold back their laughter, and when they heard this, they turned their heads and shrugged their shoulders again.On the contrary, the Empress Dowager felt that she was not good enough, so she ordered the maid to turn off the censer, and finally called Dong Rong to come forward and said, "You are Mrs. Dong, come on, come forward and let the imperial grandmother take a closer look."

Dong Rong seemed to be very frightened, and tremblingly walked up to the Queen Mother, knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a low voice, "Imperial Grandmother, a thousand years old. My grandson-in-law, Mrs. Dong, pays her respects."

Princess Hongxia sneered and wanted to speak, but was stopped by the Queen Mother with a wink.The queen mother smiled kindly and motioned for the maid to help Dong Rong up, and finally pointed to the brocade stool beside her to let her sit down. She smiled and asked a few common questions such as, do you have the habit of living in Kyoto, and whether pregnancy is hard.

Dong Rong's face was flushed with excitement, and she had to stand up to thank her every time she answered, which made everyone snicker for a while.Seeing her like this, the queen mother lost interest in continuing the conversation, and quickly called Hongxia to apologize for the shocking horse earlier.

Hongxia just saluted hastily with a face of reluctance, and refused to say even a word of softness. Fortunately, Dong Rong didn't pursue it further, and the matter has been exposed so far.

Seeing that everyone had no intention of leaving, the queen mother felt that the hall was a little stuffy, so she proposed to go to enjoy the flowers, and the concubines naturally responded in unison.

Soon, the brigade headed straight for the imperial garden.Some palace people had come here in advance to prepare food, and everyone sat down in priority.Hongxia casually pinched a blooming peony and stuck it in the Empress Dowager's ear, and complained tenderly whether the old lady had hidden some good rouge and gouache, and why her skin was fairer and tenderer than this little girl.Naturally, the group of people did not fall behind, and you coaxed the old lady to laugh non-stop.

Dong Rong also smiled and listened. In fact, she was already impatient, but her child's father hadn't come to pick her up yet, so she didn't want to leave rashly.

Seeing Dong Rong sitting alone in the corner, the old queen smiled and said, "Qiu'er, daughter-in-law, I heard from Qiu'er that you make delicious dim sum. Today, you can bring it to the imperial grandmother to taste something new."

Everyone heard the words and looked at Dong Rong again. Dong Rong hurriedly got up and took the food box from Wenniang's hand, and said respectfully, "Going back to the emperor's grandmother, the granddaughter-in-law only brought two kinds of snacks. Usually, the child's father... no, the son-in-law Grandpa likes to eat it the most, if grandma doesn't dislike it, please try it."

The maid beside the queen mother immediately stepped forward to pick up the food box, and finally took out a plate of light green square dim sum and a plate of milky white plum blossom shaped dim sum.The queen mother saw that it was not bad, so she ordered the maids to share it with the concubines to taste it together.

The concubines actually despise this stupid and vulgar concubine from the bottom of their hearts, and naturally they don't want to taste her craftsmanship, but they can't refuse the queen mother's arrangement, so they can only take a small bite to show off.

However, although the green dim sum tastes a little dry in the mouth, it tastes cool and sweet when tasted carefully.And the white plum cake was also soft and delicious, so they couldn't help but nodded their heads in praise.

"What's the name of this snack? It tastes really good."

"Yes, the style is also novel."

The queen mother ate a whole piece of mung bean cake, and said with a smile, "That's right, Aijia looks much more refreshing than those walnut cakes made by the imperial dining room. It's very suitable to eat two pieces with tea in summer like this."

Dong Rong was praised, and she seemed to have become more courageous. She introduced the ingredients and efficacy, and finally smiled triumphantly, "My husband likes desserts the most. He can eat a big plate of cold cakes I made. Sweet-scented osmanthus cake and jam cakes are also delicious."

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager and all the concubines had a flash of understanding in their eyes.It turns out that this peasant girl is not without a little bit of excellence, the son of the world must have been fascinated by her skill of making dim sum, plus the young couple, feeling in need, it is understandable to treat her a little bit more.No wonder the old saying goes, to grab a man's heart, first grab his appetite.

Thinking about it this way, the Queen Mother is the only one, and many concubines have made up their minds, asking carefully about how to make dim sum.Dong Rong didn't seem to be so stupid, she offered the recipe obediently, the concubines didn't want to get the prescription for nothing, they used the excuse of meeting for the first time, this one rewarded a few horses of good material, that one rewarded a set of gems, happy Dong Rong's eyes lit up.Seeing it, everyone confirmed the impression that the concubine was greedy for money and vulgar.

In the Qian'an Palace not far from the Imperial Garden, the emperor was taking the crown prince and several ministers to discuss the water conservancy project. Occasionally, he looked up and saw his nephew sitting by the door looking bored and scolded with a smile, "How does Qiuer treat the court affairs?" So indifferent? The prince only has you as a cousin, and he still counts on you to help out in the future, what can you do if you are so tired?"

Murong Huaide got up and responded with a smile, "Uncle, my nephew is probably like my father, just hearing these government affairs makes my head hurt. It's really boring for my nephew to sit around like this. If I can go boating outside the city, It would be perfect to cut a plate of preserved egg that was presented just now and boil a pot of turbid wine. Why don't the emperor hold his hands high and let my nephew go carefree?"

Hearing this, the crown prince and several courtiers also laughed, and some courtiers pleaded for mercy, "Your Majesty, why don't you let the son go to have a good time, or he will really suffer from a headache. It hurts."

The emperor smiled helplessly and waved his hands. Just as he was about to speak, a confidant eunuch quietly stepped forward and whispered a few words.The smile on the emperor's face grew stronger, he looked up at his nephew and said, "It just so happens that the queen mother is going to have a rest, so you can pick up Mrs. Dong and go out together. Also, in a few days, choose a good day and set up a few banquets to welcome Dong." The clan entered the palace. There is a saying among the folks that it would be great if brother Wang's health improved because of this."

"Uncle Xie for taking so much trouble, my nephew kowtows to God on behalf of my father."

Murong Huaide knelt down to thank him, and finally retreated out of the palace gate with a happy face, and hurried to Shou'an Palace to pick up his wife and go home.The young couple both let out a sigh of relief when they got into the carriage. Dong Rong hurriedly took off the jewelry on her body and complained, "These golds are really heavy, but thanks to them, I may not have to enter the palace for a long time. Suffered."

Murong Huaide guessed that she must have endured the contempt and contempt of those concubines, so he hugged her distressedly and sighed, "Get tired, I'll be home soon."

Husband and wife are connected, how could Dong Rong not know what he was thinking, so she hugged his neck and said coquettishly, "Everything else is fine, but your son made trouble and kicked me several times."

"Is there something wrong with him? Hurry up and let Qingfeng check his pulse!" Sure enough, Murong Huaide immediately forgot the soreness just now, and shouted to Jiayi to hurry up.

Since Fuzi and Yunrui entered the other courtyard, they didn't have any busy work on weekdays, so they took martial arts training as their main job every day.Today, when the two were exchanging lessons, Yun Rui's subordinates didn't pay attention, and a stick hit Fuzi's back, which was bruised and swollen.Qingfeng was helping to apply the ointment at the moment, and Fuzi, who was rubbed vigorously by his subordinates from time to time, screamed, causing a group of servants to gather around and watch the fun.

Suddenly hearing that the master wanted to ask for pulse, everyone was so frightened that they raised their hearts to their throats, hurriedly took the medical box and drove Qingfeng to the backyard.

Dong Rong had changed into loose clothes earlier, and when Qingfeng came running profusely with sweat, she smiled and said, "I'm fine, but your son is too nervous."

Qingfeng wiped a handful of beads of sweat, and responded with a smile, "It's good for Madam to ask for more pulses. I'm free and free."

Murong Huaide signaled Wen Niang to put a soft pillow on, and then said, "There are so many spices in the palace, if it is harmful to the children, we must guard against it."

Hearing this, Dong Rong thought of those two big sneezes and was also afraid, so she stretched out her arms to ask Qingfeng to diagnose the pulse.

Qing Fengzai examined it carefully for a while, then switched to the other arm, and finally frowned and muttered, "I'm not sure, how about..."

Murong Huaide suddenly grabbed his arm, and said angrily, "What's the matter, is it really poisoned? What kind of poison, can there be a solution?"

Qingfeng quickly shook his head, and explained repeatedly, "My lord, I didn't mean to be poisoned! Both the wife and the young master are fine, and there is no sign of poisoning at all. I mean...well, the young master..."

His hesitation made Zi Zhu and Yi Ba stamp their feet anxiously, and the two maids grabbed his skirt together and said angrily, "What's the matter, tell me quickly!"

Qingfeng was so strangled that she almost rolled her eyes, and finally managed to hold her breath and shouted, "Madam has two little masters in her belly!"

"Ah, two?" Everyone was startled when they heard it, and then cheered in unison, "Oh, two little masters, the lady is pregnant with twins!"

Murong Huaide was also so happy that he hugged his wife and said with a smile, "That's great, it's really great."

Dong Rong stroked her belly in amazement, and replied casually, "No wonder I feel that my stomach has grown a bit fast these days, and I plan to eat less snacks, so as not to lose weight after giving birth. I didn't expect... "

"What weight loss!" Murong Huaide stared at him immediately, and scolded, "What if the child is starved to death, let Zizhu make whatever you want!"

Seeing everyone like this, Qingfeng was afraid that his pulse diagnosis would make everyone happy.With great difficulty, he squeezed Zizhu and Yiba away, and suggested loudly, "My lord, I'd better invite the imperial physician to take a look, I'm afraid..."
