Chapter 218 Zhao Wanqing's Disfigurement

For Ziling who has always wanted to be the number one confidant girl, Hongyan is the biggest obstacle in front of her.If she was able to maintain a normal heart before, Zhao Wanqing's emphasis on Hongyan day after day and the intrigue after entering the sixth prince's residence completely wiped out that pure enterprising spirit.

As for Pei Qing, she is a person who can only talk and dare not do anything. Originally, Pei Qing was the oldest among the three of them, so shortly after her young lady married the sixth prince and became the sixth prince's concubine, she was killed by the young lady. Arranged to get married.

Before leaving, she said that she had to see the reality for herself. Miss is not what they thought before. Don't be too honest and think that as long as you devote yourself to dedication, you will be rewarded. At the critical moment, your own happiness is more important. I want to retreat for myself.

Bah, really——I knew that Pei Qing's little hoof wasn't that loyal to the lady's heart!Moreover, what retreat does she need to think of?She just wants to serve Miss better!
Zi Ling who thinks this way, subconsciously ignores that every time she thinks of the handsome and outstanding sixth prince, she will subconsciously blush and heartbeat.

"If you want me to tell you, Ziling, your appearance is not bad. Could it be that you are wasting in the palace like this?" Madam Ru Hongzhuang would sometimes say a few words when she met Ziling, and it should be Zhao Wanqing's death. Loyal fans, Zi Ling, who should have been cold-hearted towards this husband-in-law who robbed her daughter, actually got along with Mrs. Ru.

This is wrong... Sometimes Zi Ling would think this in her heart when she saw Zhao Wanqing after talking with Mrs. Ru, but more often, what she thought was——Anyway, the lady values ​​Hongyan so much, and her efforts are not worth it at all. Didn't see it.That being the case, as long as I don't do anything to hurt Miss, it shouldn't be a problem to talk to Mrs. Ru, right?

After all, Mrs. Ru taught herself a lot of dressing skills. Not long ago, Ziling could feel that the sixth prince was looking at her for a little longer than usual...

No, no, I will never do anything to be sorry for Miss!
but……

Just like Madam said, just staying in the palace, being able to be under the same roof with my young lady and the sixth prince, as long as I let myself quietly be a kitten and puppy by their side.

"You are so stupid, you are so silently dedicated, that's why your lady doesn't care about you at all - because she doesn't know how loyal you are to her. And you never show it in front of your husband , so my husband doesn't know that you are falling for his charm..."

"You...! You are talking nonsense! I don't have any other thoughts about the lady's husband-in-law! Don't slander me!" Ziling's eyes widened suddenly when her mind was exposed, with a face full of anger if you continued. The appearance of going crazy.

However, Mrs. Hongzhuang was not frightened by Ziling's bluff, she just covered her mouth and smiled "hehehe", and then watched Ziling's face turn from red to white and then from white to red, and cast a wink: " Little girl, I still don't know what you're thinking? The Sixth Prince is a man of noble character and talent, and all the women in the capital admire him, so naturally you're not the only one missing."

Seeing Ziling heaved a sigh of relief after listening to her words, but the expression on her face became more and more disappointed, Hongzhuang squinted her eyes, covered the passing light with her eyelashes, and said: "But so many women, But I'm not as lucky as you to be able to live under the same roof as the sixth prince..."

It seemed to be with magical power. Hearing these words, even Ziling couldn't help showing a look of wishful thinking, but she immediately reacted, and then looked at Mrs. Ru, who was a little teasing: "You... I won't do anything that I'm sorry to miss!"

After speaking, she ran away directly.

Mrs. Ru raised the corners of her bright red lips, and a sneer leaked from her eyes: "Oh...? A duplicity little thing..." The "great achievements" of the six princes over the years have also been completed as "tasks", and it seems that I should also... Get out of here.

Pulling back the scarlet robe on her body, she walked towards her yard with graceful steps like a madam—although the lives of princes and nobles are intoxicatingly comfortable, but compared to freedom, it is still more backward. Those who are more attractive to themselves.

······
Although she was ready to be moved by Mrs. Ru's words, in fact, Zi Ling really didn't have the courage to express her feelings to the sixth prince - not only because she admired her young lady very much, but also because she saw with her own eyes that such a young lady was so outstanding. Even an outstanding person can't firmly grasp the heart of the sixth prince, so she herself... has even less confidence.

And after such a delay, the sixth prince went out directly to fight against the foreign enemies.

Now, it doesn't matter whether Ziling attracts the sixth prince's attention or not, and whether she has the capital to attract the sixth prince's attention...it's useless—one of the parties is gone, so it's possible that she winked at her. Blind people see?

However, it is precisely because of this that when Zi Ling felt lost, uncomfortable and relieved, she decided to show her loyalty to her young lady——during this period of time, because of Mrs. Ru’s specious words, she He hasn't behaved well in front of his young lady during this period of time, and he must have been preempted by Hongyan's little hoof again!

Thinking of this, Ziling simply went to the kitchen to make the sweet dessert that Zhao Wanqing had always liked to eat. With the fragrant dessert, Ziling decided to "surprise" her lady, and then try to get her lady's Eyes are attracted!
However, what Ziling never expected was that this act she thought was very good brought her an unexpected and devastating blow!
Because she consciously cared about her young lady Xijing's temper, Zi Ling has developed the habit of being soft-handed.

This time is no exception.

However, it was also because of this that he heard that his young lady was actually discussing with Hongyan about murdering Princess Jin!

When Chuchu heard about this, Ziling's first reaction was that she heard it wrong.

She knew who Princess Jin was, she was the country girl who robbed her former lady's sweetheart.However, after so many years, the concubine Jin has already given birth to a child for King Jin, and her own lady is also married to the sixth prince—in Zi Ling's view, the sixth prince will dump Jin, no matter in terms of temperament or appearance. Wang Da cut away!
What's more... Putting aside the fact that Princess Jin seems to have left the capital a few days ago, it is impossible for her to do harm to others with such a gentle and kind personality like a fairy!

But then, Zhao Wanqing's crazy words deeply shattered Ziling's self-righteousness. Even when she subconsciously hid her figure and continued to eavesdrop, she also heard that if the Dongchuang incident happened, her lady was going to push herself away. The plan to go out and be a scapegoat!
······
a bolt from the blue!

If it wasn't for the fear of being discovered, Ziling would have grabbed Zhao Wanqing's shoulder and questioned her loudly!
why why!I am so loyal to Miss, why should I be so cruel to her? !
And it seems that the people inside also have similar doubts, Zhao Wanqing's gentle voice sounded softly: "It's because Ziling is loyal to me, but she really has no ability, so she only has this kind of use—— However, she must be very happy to be able to sacrifice for me and get my attention."

No!She is not happy at all!

She adores Zhao Wanqing and hopes to be valued by her, but... that doesn't mean she wants to die for her!
death!

What a terrible word, she felt that she was young and hadn't lived enough!

"Hehe, Hongyan, do you think I'm taking personal revenge because Ziling's eyeballs always fall on my husband and I get close to that bitch Hongzhuang?" Zhao Wanqing said softly with a smile on her face. It rang, but Zi Ling fell into the ice cellar!

"That's not it, I don't pay attention to that kind of small ants, and even if they are, so what? As the mistress, I don't have the right to deal with restless maids?"

Zi Ling only felt that it was getting colder and colder, her heartbeat was getting louder and louder, and the tray in her hand was almost unstable... No way!They can't let them find out... She wants to run away, run away!
As soon as Ziling had this thought, she turned her head and saw her lady at the window smiling gently at herself: "It smells so sweet, I've been smelling it since just now."

In the past, Zhao Wanqing's smile and praise would have made Zi Ling feel like a spring breeze, but now, she only thinks that this is the smirk of a life-threatening ghost!

I don't know where Ziling's courage came from, and with a scream, she threw the steaming snacks and sweet soup directly at Zhao Wanqing, and even more coincidentally, those who were still hot and dried Zhao Wanqing's face was blurred.

She didn't expect Ziling to have such guts at all, Zhao Wanqing only felt that her tender skin was going to burn off: "Ah... bitch, bitch! Hongyan catch her for me!" Her face, she wants to make her life worse than death!
Zi Ling was terrified to death, but she was lucky, until she ran wildly to the yard where Mrs. Ru Hongzhuang was, and only then did she find out where she was.

Thinking that the sixth prince dotes on Mrs. Ru more on weekdays, maybe Mrs. Ru can have the strength to contend with Zhao Wanqing, Ziling has no idea why Zhao Wanqing said he wanted to arrest her, but no one behind her has said to arrest her hit.

Hongyan saw Ziling enter Mrs. Ru's yard until she turned around and left.

At this time, Ziling had already held Mrs. Ru's hand, and stammered out what she had seen and heard under Mrs. Ru's guidance.

Mrs. Ru naturally looked very surprised, but when she promised to protect Ziling, facing Ziling's still crying, she simply chopped her unconscious with a knife.

"Miss, why do you protect her?" The ordinary little maid who had been following Mrs. Ru wondered.From her point of view, even if Hong Zhuang would talk a few words to this little girl from Ziling on weekdays, in fact, she just regarded her as a pawn at all.And her young lady is not a bodhisattva at all, so it can be said that she has no benefit, so why should she save this girl?

"Protect? No, I just want to make things difficult for Zhao Wanqing." Mrs. Ru threw Zi Ling aside, and then told the little maid: "We can start packing our bags."

Madam Ru originally thought that once the sixth prince left, Zhao Wanqing would become king and overlord, and at that time, she would definitely come directly to make a big fuss with her regardless of the influence.But she didn't expect to underestimate the other party - because after Zhao Wanqing learned that Zi Ling had escaped to her place, she simply didn't do anything, and directly had her yard burned down!

So vicious!

"Miss, it's a good thing we ran fast, otherwise..." The little maid patted her chest a little scared, she never thought that the madness of the daughter of an official family would make even an "old world (...)" like her feel I have lingering fears!

"How can a person of that kind of background be a kind person...Let's go, let's take the next order!" Hong Zhuang...it should be called Hong Zhuang Zui now. emotion.

"Oh, ok... But, miss, what about this maid?"

"Just find a family and throw it away." As long as she doesn't die, that's fine, and she doesn't run a charity hall.

"Oh, that's alright...Hey, miss, which direction are you going? Don't you go back and rest for a while?" My lady has always been selling news. The young lady who became fine actually seemed to be going out?
"No, let's go to the south to play."

"South? Where is the south?"

"Jianzhou."

······
At this time, Jianzhou Jinwang Mansion.

Yan Jiaoran looked at the pile of dead bugs on the ground, frowning.

"Princess, this 'locust god' is really hard to catch, so there may be no harvest this year." Yun Butler and Yan Jiaoran got along for a while, and they also understood that the other party didn't like to listen to those twisted words, so Straightforwardly stated the most likely outcome.

"..." Yan Jiaoran looked at these "locust gods", and couldn't think of any quick solution for a while.

In fact, these "locust gods" that Steward Yun mentioned are actually locusts.

It is just because the common people have not known much about locusts since ancient times, so there is a saying of "locust god" and "locust fish (shrimp) mutual transformation".

Just like natural phenomena such as wind, rain, thunder and lightning, the common people have to put a god like the god of thunder, the mother of thunder, the god of wind and the god of rain. To test their "gods", it may also be to give these locusts the title of "god", so that they can be less harmful to some crops after they are "happy".

But in fact, how can it be so easy?

Locusts love warmth and dryness very much, and locust plagues are often accompanied by severe droughts. Once a locust plague occurs, a large number of locusts will devour the fields and completely destroy the crops and fruit trees. Famine due to shortage.

This is the so-called "extreme drought brings locusts" and "long-term drought must have locusts".

"In our place, it happens once every two or three years. Every time...you have to survive, because Tan Deduo and his group don't even think about opening warehouses to release food. Those disaster relief funds from the court are all swallowed by them."

Butler Yun said with a heavy tone.

When Yan Jiaoran also felt the seriousness of the situation, she was also a little funny—is this Yun Steward's euphemistic reminder that he should open the warehouse to release food?

"Second Uncle Yun, I understand what you mean," because there is an Uncle Yun in Kyoto, and this housekeeper is the younger brother of Steward Yun in Kyoto, "However, the disaster victims must be relieved, and the locusts must be exterminated. Otherwise, we will come once every two or three years, and our agriculture in Jianzhou will not be able to develop."

In fact, it's the same problem that plagues every Southern town.

However, there has been no solution.

However, since it was proposed by Princess Jin, even if it cannot be completed, I still have to do it: "Then my subordinates will immediately post a post to call for talented people to fight the pests..."

"Wait, Uncle Yun, you don't need to post for now."

Butler Yun paused: "Princess, why is this? Please ask for instructions."

Yan Jiaoran pondered for a while before saying: "Since the locust plague has been going on for a long time, it means that manpower must have had little effect. Now we have to look at it in other ways... Uh, Uncle Yun, you know that locusts can Do you want to eat?"

Hearing this, Steward Yun couldn't help the corners of his mouth twitching: "This...Princess..." Even if you can't think of a way, don't use such a whimsical idea?That stuff... let alone eating it, even if you touch those noble ladies, you will scream for a long time, why do you have such an idea?

Should I say, is she indeed the woman our prince likes?Is it that different?

Although there were all kinds of complaints in his heart, Butler Yun still maintained his face before his facial expression broke: "That... this thing can't be eaten..."

If the prince knows that the princess has the idea of ​​eating pests because of their incompetence, they must take off a layer of skin!

Didn't notice all kinds of complicated thoughts of Steward Yun, Yan Jiaoran heard it, and said with a smile: "Can't eat? Why can't you eat it? When people are extremely hungry, grass roots, tree bark, and even Guanyin soil can be swallowed. Sparrow field mouse It’s not that no one has eaten it, and locusts are naturally edible. Not only can they be eaten, but they are also delicious.”

Speaking of this, Yan Jiaoran finally remembered that when she was in that different world, there was a specialty restaurant specializing in locusts as food, which was still very famous, it is said that it was because locusts were rich in protein and tasted really delicious .

Although Yan Jiaoran and Jin Wang had seen it, neither of them had the idea of ​​trying it, but because Yan Jiaoran had already fallen in love with making food at that time, and found that locusts were used for both medicine and food, so they still went to see it. After reading the relevant introduction of the restaurant, the program also included some cooking methods for locusts, the simplest one is to roast them.

Well, Yan Jiaoran remembers that world. On the other side of the ocean where she and King Jin live, there is a country called Sam who holds a locust eating contest.

It can be seen that there is nothing that cannot be eaten.

Thinking of this, Yan Jiaoran wanted someone to clean the locusts on the ground again. She wanted to make locust food—although she said it was edible, but she just talked about it and didn't practice fake tricks. Although she was the concubine of Jin, at this time You can't blindly stuff an unheard of strange "terrible" thing into your mouth just because of your own words.The most convincing, of course, is a personal demonstration.

As soon as he heard that Yan Jiaoran was going to eat locusts, Steward Yun's heart almost collapsed, but Yan Jiaoran was determined-seeing the locusts eating up one place after another and then going to another If this continues, not to mention crops, other plants such as flowers and plants probably won’t survive—it’s just that the old lady couldn’t talk about it, but she was persuaded by Yan Jiaoran.

"This thing...no one has ever tasted it...you should find someone else to try it first." Even so, the old lady still expressed her mutual opinion - after all, Yan Jiaoran is her granddaughter-in-law, the concubine of Jin, How can you condescend to take risks by yourself without being "tested" by others?
After hearing what the old lady said, before Yan Jiaoran had time to express her opinion, Ningshuang said, "I am willing to give it a try."

After Ningshuang's voice fell, Zhuri hurriedly said: "Slaves are also willing." However, different from Ningshuang's starting point, Zhuri felt that her princess's craftsmanship was not very good, and all kinds of weird things could be done in her hands. It has become a delicacy that people want to swallow even their tongues—for example, the fishy seafood that people didn't want to smell before.Therefore, she must not miss this opportunity to taste novel delicacies!

Seeing that Ningshuang and Zhuri both expressed their opinions, Mu Yu expressed his willingness to give it a try, although Mu Yu was still a little shy because of the appearance of the locust, followed by Zhuiyue and the other little maids.

Yan Jiaoran looked at these maids who expressed their opinions, and felt a little moved in her heart for some reason - she was naturally not such a gentle and kind master on weekdays, but at this time, they were willing to stand up and express their support for her, Regardless of the reason, it makes people feel very warm.

Yun Roujia really couldn't believe eating bugs, but since Yan Jiaoran said so, she wouldn't make fun of herself, so she directly said that she followed the crowd.

Therefore, Yan Jiaoran took Ren and Steward Yun to find the locusts that the guards had caught again—— Steward Yun said, how could the dead locusts on the ground be given to their princess?Even if it was locusts, they had to try their best to ensure that what was given to the princess was the cleanest and freshest - went to the kitchen.

During this time, everyone was worried and looking forward to Yan Jiaoran's achievements, only one person was not thinking about it.

"Mother Roujia, you are just sitting there moving around, do you want to talk again?"

"This...mother, daughter-in-law is not..." Zhou Shi was taken aback, although he forced a smile and explained, "But... we are not too poor to eat, so we don't need to eat these, right?"

"Short-sightedness! It's because we don't need to eat these things, so we need to eat them more—do you know what it means to 'sorry with the common people'? However, if you don't want to eat, don't eat it, no one is forcing you." What the old lady said was not out of anger, she knew how much courage it took to eat the worms, and she didn't expect Zhou's temperament to summon up such courage to eat those things.

Anyway, one more of her is not much, and one less of her is not much.

After hearing what the old lady said, Zhou didn't feel that the old lady was caring for her at all, but felt that the old lady was talking ironically to force her to swallow those disgusting things, and felt more and more uncomfortable.

Clenching the small porcelain bottle in her sleeve, Zhou said with a sneer: "Actually, my daughter-in-law just thinks that this thing can be eaten. Could it be that someone will catch it and eat it? You know, these days , It’s not that they didn’t dispatch a special team to send the Locust God, but at most a few hundred locusts can be caught every day, even if hundreds of them are eaten, those locusts cannot be completely wiped out.”

"What mother said is very true, so this is not the only method used to eliminate locusts. This is just the price for those locusts to eat the crops of the common people, so they have to pay with their lives." Yan Jiaoran took the little maid They came over, and each of them held a plate of steaming dishes in their hands.If they didn't know in advance, no one would think that it was made of ugly and disgusting insects like locusts just from the fragrance floating in the air.

Even Yun Roujia, who made up her mind not to let bugs enter her mouth, secretly swallowed.

Zhou, however, seemed to insist on contradicting Yan Jiaoran: "Oh? So, you already have other 'not just this one' attention?"

Hearing Mrs. Zhou's aggressive words, the old lady subconsciously wanted to reprimand this woman, but she saw Yan Jiaoran smiled faintly: "It's hard to say," before Zhou's complacent words, Yan Jiaoran continued Said, "There are only four or five references."

Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Miaomiao, if Miaomiao was not searching the database in her mind and found that she happened to have "memory" related information on locust control - after the development of technology to a certain level, although locusts cannot be completely destroyed Extinction, but has been able to suppress——, Yan Jiaoran can't accept the information she sent during the time of cooking locust dishes, and then make a method suitable for Daqing's current situation.

Hearing this, the old lady and Steward Yun's eyes lit up—there are four or five references alone, so maybe there are four or five methods that can be used?
On the other hand, Zhou Shi almost gritted her silver teeth after hearing this - she didn't think Yan Jiaoran really had any means, it must be just to target her!

Yun Roujia has been sitting next to Mrs. Zhou, seeing her mother's attitude towards Yan Jiaoran under such circumstances, she feels more and more that her mother is really disappointing, but she still secretly pulls her. The sleeves made her pay attention.

Now she seemed to understand a little bit how her grandmother felt when she saw her and her mother.

Unexpectedly, after her pull brought Zhou back to his senses, her heart became more and more jealous-why does this arm always turn outward? !
Thinking that she had sacrificed so much, all (?) for this worrying daughter, Zhou felt that her heart was burning.

Seeing Ningshuang and Zhuri next to Yan Jiaoran wanting to eat with chopsticks, Mrs. Zhou touched the small thumb-sized bottle in her arms, made up her mind to open the cork, and said at the same time: "Wait—— In order to show my sincerity, let me give it a try first!"
