The old lady just kept smiling and looking at Li Xingyue like this.
Think about it, how long has it been?
It’s been more than ten years, it seems.
Ever since the lady passed away, the young lady seemed to have never been so happy. Even if she laughed occasionally, it was only to make the old man happy.
Thinking of this, the old lady felt that she should bow to and express her gratitude whenever she saw Miss Chang'an in the future.
but
Li Xingyue thought about it for a while and said to herself in confusion: "Can a gentleman's openness be connected with a girl's innocent thoughts? It always feels wrong, but Sister Changan said that they can be connected."
The old nanny didn't understand what Li Xingyue said, but after thinking for a while, she asked, "Miss, aren't we going to the Queen Mother's today?"
Li Xingyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head: "No, I won't go again. Aunt hates me, and I don't need to go to her and pretend to like her."
The old nanny was puzzled, but nodded. It would be a bad idea not to go because there were many rules there, and she didn't seem to like the empress dowager very much.
Ever since she was a child, she has looked unpleasant.
But when the old nanny thought about the last sentence her eldest daughter said, she felt more and more uncomfortable.
She even felt a little sad, because she remembered that the young lady treated her aunt like a mother.
……
In Xingqing Palace, the Queen Mother looked at the food on the table and smiled playfully: "Leaving directly?"
Xiang Hong nodded: "Yes."
The Queen Mother looked at Xiang Hong with some surprise: "That child must have come to me before entering the palace. My brother actually told Xingyue."
After saying that, he shook his head and said, "That shouldn't be the case. He hates to see Xingyue sad. If Xingyue knew about this."
Having said this, the Queen Mother smiled.
then
Snapped! !
But the Queen Mother was so angry that she overturned the table.
Many colorful snacks on the table were scattered all over the floor in an instant.
The sound of plates and bowls breaking was even louder than the crackling sound, and then suddenly disappeared.
Then, the Queen Mother smiled and looked at Xiang Hong: "First, he opposed his own people in the court, and then offered Zhao Xiaojia one million, six hundred thousand, and eight million. Is he crazy?! Or has he really surrendered to Your Majesty? He doesn't really think that he can save the Li family this way, right? At this time, does Your Majesty have the tolerance to tolerate a child like him?"
Xianghong had already bowed hurriedly when the table was overturned just now.
The palace maids on the other side were so frightened that they knelt down and dared not utter a word.
Because they know
The more the Queen Mother behaved like this, the more furious she became.
The Queen Mother still had a smile on her face: "Let's meet him and ask him if it would be better?"
Xianghong listened but didn't dare to answer, or rather, she couldn't answer, because this tone was usually heard when the Empress Dowager was talking to herself.
The Queen Mother immediately shook her head: "I guess you won't see me anymore."
Then he immediately said, "Let Xiaojia go to the Grand Tutor. If the Grand Tutor is willing, I can give in, but Xiaojia must go in. No, the Grand Tutor is even more greedy than Su Wenqing. When my father resigned from his post, he was the one who tried every means to kill me. Ask Xiaojia how much money he has. If that doesn't work, ask Li Jiulang to buy it?"
Xianghong lowered her head and dared not answer.
Because she knew that this was not really an order to her.
But the Queen Mother was completely angry.
……
When Su Changan finished practicing calligraphy, it was already late.
He also knew that it was almost time for him to cook for the empress.
But as soon as I opened the study door, the unhappy cat rushed out of the room and said, "Don't even think about me practicing calligraphy with you anymore, it's too ugly!"
Yan Ruyu was helpless.
Su Changan shook his head and sighed: "This kid doesn't know what's good."
To be honest, after practicing for so many days, Su Changan found that his handwriting had improved a lot.
At least when writing the character "一", it won't be twisted, but at least it will be slightly straight.
Yan Ruyu looked at Su Changan and said, "His Majesty just sent someone to give you a note."
Su Changan was stunned for a moment and took it.
"I've cooked for you tonight, just wait for the delicious food! It's so delicious that you'll die!!"
Chapter 80 He thought of her, and she thought of him
Originally, Su Changan was in a good mood.
After all, I made some progress in my calligraphy practice today, and the meeting with Li Xingyue went quite smoothly and I was quite happy.
But see the words on this note.
Su Changan was silent for a moment.
Then he looked at Yan Ruyu: "How is your Majesty's cooking?"
Yan Ruyu was puzzled and then shook her head: "I have never seen Your Majesty cook."
Su Changan looked at the contents on the paper.
but
Yan Ruyu suddenly said, "My mother seemed to have mentioned that Your Majesty cooked for the late emperor when he was a child, and the late emperor said it was delicious."
Su Changan was silent for a moment.
But at this time, Xunxia and Xiangluo also came back with bamboo baskets in their hands, but the baskets were empty.
See Su Changan.
After Xuanxia and Xiangluo came up to pay their respects, Xuanxia said, "Miss, the imperial kitchen said there was a fire today, and the vegetables were also affected, so there are no fresh vegetables. Why don't you use the ones left over from yesterday? There is also some meat you froze in the freezer. I just don't know if His Majesty will be angry if the dishes are too simple."
Hearing this, Su Changan subconsciously asked, "No one is in trouble, right?"
Xia shook her head. "No one was hurt. I heard that the chief chef seemed to be preparing some special dishes, so he asked everyone to leave. Therefore, no one was hurt. The chief chef was also fine. And I checked, it was not serious. It was just that the fire spread to the small warehouse where the vegetables were stored, so there are no fresh vegetables today."
Su Changan nodded, as long as no one was in trouble.
But thinking about playing like this, Su Changan thought about it and couldn't help but look down at the note sent by the empress in his hand.
For some reason I feel as if there is a connection between the Empress' cooking and the fire in the imperial kitchen.
But thinking that since the empress sent someone to deliver the note, it should be fine.
Then I thought about it.
Not to the point.
How could anyone burn down the kitchen while cooking?
……
Su Changan was actually a little nervous when he was waiting for the empress.
Because he was struggling with the philosophical question of whether it tasted good or not.
The empress cooked for him personally. If the food was delicious, everyone would be happy and have a full dinner.
But if it doesn't taste good, Su Changan has already made plans to eat it all. After all, if it tastes bad, he can't give it to the empress.
But like that.
Will I have diarrhea at night?
So Su Changan specifically found Maomao and asked her for some medicine to treat diarrhea.
But Maomao was still angry, so she directly gave Su Changan a bag of poison with the relatively rare red, pink and white plants as the main medicinal ingredient.
Thanks to Su Changan who knew this herb, he questioned Maomao on the spot.
The cat said, "This packet of medicine can cure diarrhea. As for the poison you got from eating it, I can cure it for you. Doesn't that also count as curing diarrhea?"
Su Changan was speechless after hearing this. He put down the packet of poison and went back to continue waiting for the empress.
……
The sun sets in the west, casting its last rays of light.
The empress came with a food box in her hand, looking very happy.
The people in the yard were already used to it, so when they saw the empress, they left quietly.
Xuanxia and the others were originally afraid that His Majesty would be angry because the imperial kitchen did not get fresh vegetables today, but when they knew that His Majesty would bring food today, the women breathed a sigh of relief.
After the empress opened the bamboo curtain, she placed the food box on the table and said proudly, "Why, are you so happy that you can't speak?"
Su Changan looked at the empress and saw that she was intact.
Then he walked forward and checked his hands. There were no knife wounds or burns. He looked at his face and made sure that there was no burn anywhere. He breathed a sigh of relief.
The empress raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm cooking. Look at what I'm doing with my hands and face. Are you thinking of something bad again?!"
Su Changan said truthfully: "I was worried that you might hurt your hand while cooking or something."
The empress was somewhat happy when she heard this, but after thinking for a while, she felt that Su Changan was scolding her, and immediately said, "What do you mean I will hurt my hand while cooking? Do you think I am you? I can cut my finger with a kitchen knife just by cutting vegetables."
Su Changan smiled. As long as the empress was not injured, it was fine. He could say whatever she wanted.
However, looking at the food box, Su Changan gestured.
The empress nodded immediately.
When Su Changan opened the food box, the first thing that caught his eye was a plate of boiled chicken with some shredded green onions on it, which looked very good.
