The black-bellied princess plays the prince

Chapter 84 Identity
I guessed right, this black-glazed silver bowl must be a key part of it, but it's a pity that the bowl was stolen... So far, although I know the true identity of the Empress Dowager Chu, how did my mother die? , but have no clue at all, if there is no solid evidence, how can the Empress Dowager Chu recognize it?I've never assassinated someone I had nothing to do with, and I don't now.

I slowly put away the silk-wrapped silver knife in my sleeve, and said with a smile, "I've seen that bowl in Jinwang's palace, it's very impressive."

The Empress Dowager Chu said slowly: "Miss Mei, is this silver spoon not to your liking? I'll ask the maid to change it to another one."

Although she had a happy smile on her face, her gaze was placed on my hand intentionally or unintentionally. I was suddenly startled, and knew in my heart that I was also walking on the line of life and death.

If I had just pulled out the knife, I would be the one who died, right?
Now Ye Xiaochubo and I are in a deadlock.

When I glanced around, Chu Bo's face became even more gloomy. With his eyes slightly closed, he leaned on the chair, thinking that she had been operating in the deep palace for many years, and she would not let it go, which would lead to chaos in the Chu country, so he said tentatively: "Your Majesty, the King of Chu will go to court tomorrow, and he is seriously injured. Why don't you ask the imperial doctor to take a look at him?"

The Empress Dowager Chu took out the gauze scarf, and wiped her mouth lightly: "No matter what time you are, you are always calm and self-reliant, and this is one of the reasons why I like you." She didn't even look at Chu Bo, He just ordered, "Come here, accompany him back."

Chu Bo opened his eyes slightly, with a gloomy expression, "Mother, what about them?"

The Empress Dowager Chu lowered her eyes and said, "What are you in a hurry for? Let them stay with me for a few days, and besides, is it your turn to talk?"

A palace maid stepped forward, supporting Chu Bo from left to right, but her expression was not respectful: "King Chu, please come with your servant."

She is not afraid that Chu Bo will leave the Huashou Palace, which means that the entire Chu Palace and even the Chu Dynasty are under her control. It's snowmelt in spring, not to mention.

She left Ye Xiao and me behind. Apart from not being able to go out of the yard, she didn't restrict our freedom. She didn't even seal our acupoints, but we didn't even think about leaving.

Because we tried it, throwing a stone out at random, it hit a flower tree, but in fact it was not a flower tree, but a person dressed as a flower tree.

Although the courtyard is full of flowers and full of flowers, the lawn may not be grass, and the wooden corridor may not be wooden corridor. The longer I live here, the more I believe what she said. ...

After failing countless times, Ye Xiao was very angry: "Short pancake, what do you think this old witch is trapping us for?" He looked at the chicken cakes on the table, and then at me, " She brings different pastries over every day, you don't look thinner, but rather plump, isn't she trying to fatten you up so that you can make flower fertilizer?"

"You've read too many strange novels recently," I said.

After a long time, he looked at me again, looked at my face without speaking, his face was heavy, when I looked over, he turned his head to one side, and when I stopped looking at him, he turned his head to look at me again, and so on, let me People are annoying or not.

I ignored him to see what tricks he had.

After looking at it for a long time, he murmured: "It doesn't look like it, it doesn't look like it."

I couldn't help it, so I had to ask: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

He said cautiously: "Suyou Panzi, I told you, don't be angry... Judging from your bizarre life experience and diverse identities... Besides, this old witch, no, the Queen Mother Chu looked at you differently, and she gave you food again." Yes, it’s the delivery drinker again, is it possible that you are…”

I interrupted him: "No matter who she is, my mother can only be Mrs. Ashina!"

To be honest, it's not that I haven't thought about it. The Empress Dowager Chu trapped us, but she provided us with delicious food and drink. Even Chu Bo didn't get such a good treatment. Does she really have anything to do with me?
Thinking of her eyes as quiet as ancient wells, I couldn't help but shudder.

But I became more and more uneasy. I was really afraid that one day, someone would point out another identity. I didn't want to change, and I didn't want even my parents to make a fuss about who they were.
.
.

On this day, when Ye Xiao and I were so bored that we were counting ants on the ground, someone from the palace sang a promise: "The Empress Dowager is here."

I sat on the chair and didn't move, neither did Ye Xiao.

The Empress Dowager Chu came in from the gate of the courtyard. A dozen of her maidservants were carrying various food baskets.

When she walked all the way to us, Ye Xiao and I burst into smiles at the same time, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, are you here?"

We have performed this kind of arrogance in front of her many times. The original purpose was to anger her, but she was not angry, but after we did it over and over again, it became a habit.

It can be seen that the Taoism of the Empress Dowager Chu is much higher than that of Queen Xiao of the Jin Kingdom.

She had a slight smile on her face: "Recently, the jasmine in the greenhouse opened early, so I asked someone to make some jasmine bamboo fungus soup, and the chrysanthemums picked last winter to make a chrysanthemum pot. Use chrysanthemum as the bottom of the pot, boil some fish slices, loin slices, squid, pheasant and so on, it will not get angry, but also warm your stomach..."

Before she finished speaking, my mouth was already flooded with saliva...

The dining table was placed in the garden, the silver charcoal was lit, and a big purple sand pot was simmered. After a while, the fragrance of chrysanthemum mixed with the fragrance of jasmine and some meat was mixed with it... because she couldn't let her see me. I was swallowing my saliva, so I didn't swallow my saliva, but if I opened my mouth, would something flow from the edge of my mouth...?
She didn't greet us, she sat at the table by herself, stretched out her chopsticks, picked up some sliced ​​fish slices as thin as a cicada's wings, rinsed them in the hot pot, put them in her mouth, and said: "I forgot Here you go, come and eat some."

The heat in the pot filled the whole garden, and the whole garden was filled with a clear and mellow fragrance. I couldn't bear it anymore, swallowed all the saliva in my mouth, picked up the chopsticks, and just picked up a piece of waist, I listened to her. The voice suddenly turned cold: "Did you put shrimp in the chrysanthemum pot today?"

The maid beside him fought and said: "No, we know that the empress doesn't like shrimps, how dare we let them in?"

Suddenly, she rolled up her long sleeves, and the chrysanthemum pot flew up and smashed towards the center of the garden. In mid-air, the pot shattered into pieces, and the soup flew everywhere.

As far as I know, there are many hermits in the garden, but no one has moved for a moment.

Except for one place, there was a small pavilion with a few pots of peonies in the pavilion, covered by a green oil curtain, and splashed with soup, the green curtain made ripples, and it turned out that a green man staggered and fell out. , his hands kept scratching his body.

The Empress Dowager Chu turned to me slightly, looking at the chopsticks in my hand: "I'm sorry, Miss Mei, I spoiled your interest today. Next time, I'll make it up to you with a good pot of chrysanthemums."

As soon as I let go, I let the chopsticks fall to the ground, and said awkwardly, "I don't like eating that much either..."

While talking, the person who fell out was surrounded by people, and the servant girl stepped forward to clean up the broken bowls and chopsticks.

The Empress Dowager Chu stood up and walked to the man: "Someone came to report that you left the Jin Kingdom, I still don't believe it, you really let me down... I know you are allergic to shrimps, and you got a little bit of it on your body. It will be itchy, no matter what kind of martial arts can't resist it, I really can't test you."

The man fell to his knees: "Madam, don't think about her."

Hearing his voice, my heart trembled. It was the master. He hid among these people and sneaked into Chu Palace. How could he come?

The Empress Dowager Chu said: "Which time will I get you to argue about what I do? She is born with natural talent, which is rare in a hundred years. Do you think Momen should give up?"

He slowly loosened the veil on his face, the usual three-foot white beard disappeared, and his face became thinner. In a blink of an eye, he fell on the ground: "Ma'am, she is not suitable for Momen."

"Not suitable?" Empress Dowager Chu laughed sadly, "Who would be suitable? Is it me? I also want to be a husband and a child, but God can't tolerate me, right? Your cowardly father only knows filial piety. , I just gave a worn-out cotton-padded jacket to help the beggars outside, he will think that I am unfaithful under the instigation of my parents-in-law, and want to divorce my wife and remarry...Qingqiu, it is Momen who allows us to live with dignity, and Momen Compared with the planning of several generations, what is the honor and disgrace of an individual?"

The master raised his head, glanced at me, his eyes were full of hidden worries, then lowered his head and said: "Ma'am, I...I...I want to marry her..."

I was so shocked that I almost couldn't stand on my feet. Fortunately, Ye Xiao supported me, and he whispered in my ear: "Is your master crazy?"

I also thought he was crazy.

He called the Empress Dowager Chu his wife, but from what the Empress Dowager Chu said, the master's mother is the Empress Dowager Chu?Are they mother and son?Birds of a feather flock together, people are divided into groups, the life experience of the apprentice is complicated and confusing, and the master is not bad.

The Empress Dowager Chu stared at him for a long time, "You want to marry her? Do you want to fight against me? How can you have a family?"

The master turned his head and looked at me again, "Madam, I never ask you anything, this time, please promise me."

The Empress Dowager Chu turned her face to look at me, her eyes were full of disappointment, she turned back to look at the master, the expression in her eyes changed, she took a few steps closer, and stretched out her hand, I thought she was going to crush the master's head with a palm, but instead No, she stretched out her hand to touch the top of the master's head, and there was a soft light in her eyes. When she retracted her hand, the soft light disappeared: "You marry her? Will she marry you?"

She turned around and walked towards the gate of the courtyard, and all the maids behind her followed suit, leaving only the master and us.

I looked at the master, he got up from the ground and took two steps towards me, I was a little scared, I shrank straight back, and almost shrank into Ye Xiao's arms.

He is my master, someone I respect, but he said he wants to marry me, a master is a master, how can he marry me?

"Ye Xiao, you leave first, let me talk to Yue Ya'er." The master said.

Ye Xiao didn't move, he put his arms around me: "No... Besides, her name is not Yueya'er, but Suyou Panzi!"

I raised my head slightly to see the haggard face of the master, my heart softened, and I said, "Ye Xiao, sit in the pavilion."
