Chapter 219 Ending (1)

The sky is bright and the morning light is falling.

The light came in through the pane and fell on Zhu Xiongying's still sleepy face, and then he gently covered the quilt with the third brother Zhu Yunxi who was beside him, who was sleeping soundly with the pillow, and got up and got out of bed.

Outside the bedroom, Jia Gui had brought people to prepare the toiletries.

For some reason, Zhu Xiongying felt that there were many unfamiliar faces around him today.Moreover, these people, including Jia Gui, had tense faces and no smiles.

"How is the imperial grandmother?" Zhu Xiongying asked after cleaning her face.

Jia Gui bowed his head, "Go back to Your Highness, Your Majesty is tired and still resting!"

Zhu Xiongying didn't speak any more, and went straight to Empress Ma's bedroom after washing.

In the bedroom, it was even more solemn and quiet.

Empress Ma was leaning against the head of the bed, her face was pale, her eyes seemed a little hollow, and the wrinkles on her face became deeper, as if she had aged a few years overnight.

"Grandmother!" Zhu Xiongying exclaimed, and lay down beside Empress Ma's bed, "What's wrong with you?" He said anxiously, "But your health is not good, have you passed on the imperial physician?"

"I'm fine!" Empress Ma stretched out her hand, lovingly stroking Zhu Xiongying's hair.

Vaguely, Zhu Xiongying only felt that Empress Ma's hand seemed to be shaking today.

"Do you have something on your mind?" Zhu Xiongying asked.

"Silly boy, what can I worry about?" Empress Ma smiled, but Zhu Xiongying saw the word far-fetched from her smile.

"Grandson is the person closest to you. If you have something on your mind, tell grandson!" Zhu Xiongying took the old lady's hand, "You can't hide it from grandson!"

"Be good, be good!" Empress Ma looked at Zhu Xiongying, her eyes were full of tenderness and love, "Grandma is fine! Old people, it's just that they can't sleep well at night!" As she said, she smiled again, "Go, eat, eat Go to study after dinner, go back to grandma after school, don't run around!"

Zhu Xiongying was puzzled, but he could only agree, and went out in three steps and one turn.

In the outer hall, breakfast had already been laid out.

Looking at the busy palace people, Zhu Xiongying was even more surprised.In the past, the palace people who arranged the breakfast were all replaced by elderly mothers.These old nuns, he remembered, were usually busy in the back kitchen, and they were all old people who had been with the old lady for decades.

What surprised him even more was that Jia Gui was standing by the dining table, using silver chopsticks to put every dish into his mouth, chewing heavily.

He knew that this was a test dish.

Before the sons and grandsons of the emperors of all dynasties eat, there is such a procedure.But he grew up in the Kunning Palace, and the old lady took care of his meals, so there was no need for that.

"What's the matter today?" Zhu Xiongying asked Jia Gui, "Why are you still trying to serve food?" Then, he paused, his eyes froze, "Are you afraid that someone will poison you?"

Jia Gui shook his hand and laughed quickly, "What are you talking about, Your Highness, you are the grandson of the dragon, I dare to poison you." Then, he put down his chopsticks, "Testing dishes is a rule in the palace. in this way!"

"Sneaky!" Zhu Xiongying sat at the dinner table and whispered, "What's the matter? Dare to hide it, I'll replace you later!"

Jia Gui hurriedly knelt down, "Slaves, how dare you sneak around in front of you!" Then he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty ordered, your Highness, don't ask!"

The old lady ordered?

Zhu Xiongying suppressed the doubts in his heart, picked up the chopsticks, but heard Jia Gui continue, "Your Highness, wait a moment, I always want the servant to try the dishes for a stick of incense before you use the chopsticks!"

Clap, Zhu Xiongying threw the chopsticks on the table, "The stick of incense is cold, how can I eat it?"

Jia Gui didn't say much, just kept kowtowing.

At this moment, he saw Chunxiu walking out beside the old lady.

"Chunxiu, where are you going?" Zhu Xiongying asked.

"My maidservant, go to Rouyi Hall, and invite the Crown Princess and Concubine to come over!" Chunxiu said possessively.

Today is weird, outrageously weird.

In the past, the old lady didn't want to see Lu's daughter-in-law at all, so why did she take the initiative to invite her today.

Confused in my heart, I ate a few bites hastily, got up and walked to Wenhua Hall.

But as soon as he left the gate of Kunning Palace, he saw Zheng Guogong Chang Mao hurriedly coming.

"Uncle!" Zhu Xiongying said.

"The minister sees the grandson"

Without waiting for Chang Mao's burly body to bow down, Zhu Xiongying hurriedly turned sideways, "Uncle, why are you so polite in private?" Then he asked, "You came to see the imperial grandmother this morning!"

Chang Mao looked at Zhu Xiongying's side, and Jia Gui and the others took a few steps back knowingly.Seeing him approaching Zhu Xiongying, he said in a low voice, "I'm also wondering, Marquis Wu Ding came to send a message in the middle of the night last night, saying that the empress asked the minister to enter the palace early in the morning!"

As he spoke, he asked again, "Did your Highness hear any news?"

"I'm at a loss now!" Zhu Xiongying murmured, looking at Chang Mao, "Then uncle, you go!" He said in a low voice, "Turn around, what's the matter, let me know at the Wenhua Palace .”

"Yes!" Chang Mao replied, and hurriedly walked towards Kunning Palace.

~~~
In Lu's bedroom, she got up early and watched the palace people prepare Zhu Yunqi's breakfast in person.Then, when everything was in place, she sat on the dressing table to do her makeup.

At this moment, the eunuch Zhen Buren came to report, "Your Majesty, Miss Chunxiu who is next to the Empress is here!"

Mrs. Lu was slightly startled, "Oh, let her in?"

Chunxiu walked in slowly, bowed down, "Your maidservant sees your empress!"

"Hey, Chunxiu!" Mrs. Lu smiled, very amiable, "You are much more beautiful now than before!" She said with a smile, "In a few years, you will be the embryo of a beauty!"

These words are against her will, Chunxiu's figure is like a water tank, so she has nothing to do with beauty.

"What happened to you seeing me?" Mrs. Lu asked again.

"The empress said, I want you to go over and talk with me!" Chunxiu lowered her head and said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Immediately, Mrs. Lu was taken aback.

Talk to the old lady?
After so many years, when did she take the initiative to be summoned by the old lady to talk to her?
Even when they met each other, the old lady dismissed her with a few words.

Immediately, the doubt in my heart was followed by ecstasy.

"I'll go right away!" Mrs. Lu got up immediately, and just walked a few steps, suddenly felt something was wrong.Now the queen is still ill, and the clothes on her body are colored and not neat.

Moreover, it was inappropriate for her to put on makeup just now.You must know that the old lady hates those girls the most. Could it be the cute and beautiful girls in the drawings.

"Wait a minute!" Shi Lu said to Chunxiu again, "I'll change into clothes!" As he spoke, he walked in and asked, "Who else is the empress called?"

She used to be not only called by the queen, but also concubine Hui, concubine Ning, concubine Han and others.

Unexpectedly, Chunxiu said, "Your Majesty, let the servants come to pass you on. As soon as the Empress opens her eyes in the morning, let the servants come over!"

Mrs. Lu paused while she was changing her clothes, pondered for a moment, and calmed herself down.

"Zhen Buren!"

"The servant is here!"

"Bring the wild ginseng from Liaodong!" As he said, Mrs. Lu said to Chunxiu again, "I know that the empress has everything, but this wild ginseng from Liaodong is the best. It's the Jurchen savage from Liaodong, who specializes in It was given to the prince. For example, it is 300 years old!"

Chunxiu just smiled faintly.

But in my heart, I always feel that Lu's last words are superfluous.

~~
It was dawn, and the capital became bustling.

Early peddlers, bustling bazaars, and yawning shopkeepers opening doors to do business.

"Ah!" Deji's little guy had just removed a door panel, yawned at a discount, and turned his head inadvertently, "Oh my god!"

Standing behind him was a ghostly man with no beard, no eyebrows, not even a nose
"You" the boy looked up at the sun, trembling in his legs.

"Don't be afraid, I'm human!" Chen Danian grinned, his face even more ferocious.

"Guest officer." The boy's voice was trembling, and he was holding the door panel tightly in front of him, "It's still early, and the stewed meat in the shop hasn't been cooked yet, and it won't be out until noon."

"I don't buy meat, I want to ask you something!" Chen Danian laughed.
