Happy pastoral concubine

Chapter 1060 Approachable
Tang Huanxi glanced at her with a smile, "Sit down and talk!"

"Thank you madam!"

"There are no outsiders here, so you don't need to say these polite words, it seems a bit alien." Tang Huanxi looked at her and said softly, "Didn't I remind you a few days ago when I was recalling the building? To deal with people like Xia Baihe For such a person, the most effective way is to directly tear off the layer of skin on her face, so as to save her from doing something wrong to harm you."

The methods used by the empress dowager were too simple and rude.

But Xia Shao thinks it makes sense.

"Thank you, Ma'am, for helping me out!" Xia Shao obediently sat on the stone bench, smiled, and explained softly, "Actually, I don't like Xia Baihe at all, but my father hopes that the family can live in harmony. Yes, kindness makes money. In addition, if the uncle hadn't dragged my father out to beg, maybe my father would have starved to death on the street.

So under the influence of my father's kindness, I just ignored Xia Baihe's indiscriminate tricks. "

"So even if she will snatch your fiancé, you don't care?" Tang Huanxi looked at her indifferent expression and asked curiously, "Xia Shao, you don't care about this matter because you don't like Qin An. If you like Qin An, don't you feel sad?"

"I'm not sad! In fact, my mother's wish for my marriage with Qin An was also my mother's wish. In my father's heart, my mother is more important than me." Xia Shao said with a smile while eating the pastry.

"It's getting late, let's go have dinner."

"Yeah!"

The two returned to the side hall of Fengluan Hall.

Xia Shao looked at the two steaming bowls of noodles on the table, and instantly whetted her appetite.

"This is?"

"Green pepper shredded pork noodles, would you like to try it?" Tang Huanxi said with a smile, "See how it tastes?"

"okay!"

Xia Shao picked up the bowl of shredded pork noodles with green peppers and tasted it seriously.

"Well, it's delicious!" Xia Shao praised with a quick smile, "As expected of the chef of the imperial dining room, he can make such ordinary shredded pork noodles into such a delicious taste! Madam, if I come to see you often , will definitely gain weight!"

"Ahem, this time, I'm only able to eat such delicious shredded pork noodles with green peppers because of your honor." Tang Huanxi put down his chopsticks, with a satisfied smile on his face, "I still plan to stay here How long behind the screen?"

Xiao Yijin, who had been standing behind the screen, did not expect that she would be discovered so soon.

He walked slowly in front of the two of them, smiling softly.

"How did mother know?"

"Guess." Tang Huanxi smiled and said softly, "You made the noodles just now?"

"Sure enough, nothing can escape my mother's eyes." Xiao Yijin smiled gently, "I heard that Miss Xia Shao is going to enter the palace, so I wanted to show my kindness as a landlord. I made this shredded pork noodles with green peppers myself. I also hope that my mother and Miss Xia Shao will not be disgusted."

Xia Shao silently glanced at the blue-and-white porcelain bowl that was held in the palm of her hand with only soup left, and grinned innocently.

"It's delicious. I didn't expect your majesty to be so good at your craftsmanship?" Xia Shao said with a very honored smile. "In my lifetime, I can eat a bowl of noodles made by my majesty. I feel that I have no regrets in my life."

"If you like it, you can enter the palace often in the future."

"Ah?" Xia Shao blinked, feeling a little dazed.

"What he means is that you can often enter the palace to accompany Bengong. Bengong is worried that there is no one around to chat with and relieve fatigue. Xia Shao, you must often enter the palace to visit me in the future."

"it is good."

At the end of the time, I played a game of chess with the queen mother.

Seeing the tired look on her face, Xia Shao took leave softly.

"What is this?" Looking at the token that Xiao Yijin suddenly handed over, Xia Shao was at a loss.

"A token that can freely enter and exit the palace." Xiao Yijin looked at her and explained softly.

"How can I accept such a valuable thing?"

"This is what the queen mother meant, so you can accept it." Xiao Yijin smiled, and stuffed the token into her palm involuntarily, then turned and left.

Xia Shao had no choice but to carefully put the token into her arms.

At dusk, the sky is full of sunset glow.

Xia Shao sat on the swing in the backyard of her house, slightly dazed.

"Miss, why have you been depressed since you came back from the palace?" Lian'er walked to her side and asked with concern, "Did the Empress Dowager say anything?"

"The Queen Mother is very nice and approachable."

"But the maidservant cried bitterly in the room when she heard that Xia Baihe and Miss Hai Tang had returned home, especially Xia Baihe, who cried so heartily. Madam also said that you told her about it in front of the Queen Mother. bad words."

"Do I look like that kind of boring person?" Xia Shao rolled her eyes angrily, "That day in Huiwei Building, Xia Baihe asked me to show her Qin An matter, and the empress dowager and the Duke's wife happened to see it. So the Queen Mother invited her into the palace today just to criticize her."

"The empress dowager has sharp eyes!" Lian'er smiled excitedly, "I've decided, the empress dowager will also be my idol in the future!"

"Lian'er, you said that a man is willing to cook noodles for a woman himself, what is his intention?"

"What is Miss talking about?" Lian Er who was suddenly asked was confused, "Miss, do you want to eat noodles?"

"Forget it, it's nothing." Xia Shao waved his hand and stopped thinking about it.

The more I think about it, the more my head hurts.

July is hot, and the weather is getting cooler.

During this time, there are two most exciting news in Kyoto.

First, the marriage contract between the Emperor Shang Xia's family and the General Qin's family has changed. It is rumored that Qin An and Xia Baihe are actually husband and wife.

Xia Hou went out in person and broke the engagement between Xia Shao and Qin An.

Second, it has been raining continuously for several days, and two corpses were washed out of the inner wall of a courtyard in the east of Kyoto.

After listening to Xiao Baorui's words, Tang Huanxi frowned thoughtfully.

"Have the identities of those two corpses been confirmed?" Tang Huanxi asked softly, tapping his index finger on the table.

"Jing Zhaoyin's people have already gone to investigate." Xiao Baorui shook his head lightly, "The identities of those two people have not been investigated yet."

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Xiao Yijin looked at Wang Tu who was kneeling down, and silently raised her brows.

"You mean, those two people who died were spies from Xiliang?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Wei Chen has brought an experienced assistant to check, and both of them died of suffocation." Wang Tu explained softly, "That means those two people were still breathing. It was sealed in the wall, and the former owner of that house was the housekeeper of Prince Yu's mansion who was arrested a while ago, Zhao Chao's family."
