The First Empress - Chapter 211

Chapter 211 Bai Zhuo Looked at the Tide

The small red mud stove was quite charming. Linglong found it interesting to put it in the side hall and said, “If only I could cook a little pear blossom white, then it would really be Chaimen who heard dogs barking. The wind and rain have returned to our old friends. The three of us can also drink two cups.” Hearing this, Qin’er frowned. A’er hurriedly said, “Your Highness must not drink alcohol. Now, not only must you be extra careful with your diet, you must also be careful with what you eat. The wine is cold outside and hot inside. After drinking it, you will become depressed in your heart. It is not good for the fetus.”

Linglong stuck out her tongue and allowed Ah Sheng to massage her. Suddenly, she glanced at Qin’er. Qin’er was carefully sniffing a small exquisite sand jar with her nose. Linglong smiled and said, “Are you afraid of being poisoned by others? Do you know that you’re cooking medicine? It’s a third of the poison, so it shouldn’t matter.”

When Qin’er saw Linglong teasing her, she looked at Ah Wen who was over there and couldn’t help but say sour, “This servant can’t massage, so I can only give the imperial concubine something that can’t be cleaned up here. Don’t worry, the imperial concubine. When the medicine rolls up, this servant will give it to you after tasting it.”

“It’s not like you’re pregnant. You’re not taking this medicine randomly. I don’t know if you’re decocting the medicine or frying the vinegar?” Linglong frowned and said. Seeing Linglong’s serious appearance, Qin’er couldn’t help but ask doubtfully, “It’s clearly decocting medicine. It’s not decocting vinegar. Your Highness really knows how to joke.”

“Then, why do I feel sour?” After Linglong finished speaking, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Only then did Qin’er understand what Linglong was referring to. She also felt that she wanted to laugh, but Ah Yun laughed out loud. Linglong said seriously, “You are both my right and left arms. I treat you equally. Do you understand?” Qin’er and Ah Sheng nodded at the same time. Because Qin’er had to pay attention to the medicine, she stopped joking. The medicine rolled. Sure enough, Qin’er drank a little in advance. After a while, nothing unusual happened before she brought the medicine to Linglong’s hand. She blew it and sent it to Linglong’s mouth. Linglong finally finished it and said, “It’s really bitter.”

Bentham had already sent a piece of candied fruit to Linglong’s hand. Linglong put it in her mouth and looked at the two of them. “Go to bed. It’s getting late.” The two of them slept on the couch outside.

The next day, Qin’er finished decocting the medicinal soup and served Linglong. She went to the Internal Affairs Department. Today was the time for the monthly payment. Qin’er was prepared to check if there was anything missing. She also asked for it together. There were only Linglong and Ah Wen in this room. Li Sheng was also tired of handling odds and ends. Linglong and Ah Wen went to the Yi Lotus House to admire the red lotus in the water.

The mandarin duck and jade gently swept across the surface of the lake. Ling Lian also opened up large patches of water on the delicate and bright lake surface. Because they’re grounded, Linglong didn’t go anywhere, Right now, even Chen Chongyi would find it extremely difficult to enter. So there was one less person that Linglong could talk to, It wasn’t that Ah Shen didn’t like to talk, but that Ah Shen really had a bit of an eye and listened to the six paths and completely diverted her attention. That was why Linglong was relatively dull. If only they were together normally, they would naturally cooperate well with each other. Linglong didn’t feel bored about the room.

Linglong remembered that when she first arrived at the hidden mansion, Ping Ping was over thirteen years old. At the beginning of February, she did not expect to have her first child so soon. Although the child had not yet been born, Linglong knew that it was almost, almost …

At the same time, Linglong was a little afraid. After giving birth, she wondered if she would receive the Emperor’s favor in the future, or if she would need to take a step further? After the child was born, many women’s graceful figure and beautiful years were gone. Miserable had already sketched out an unfair life for a concubine. Linglong didn’t know if she should celebrate or think of a way ahead of time.

The current Linglong was no longer the kind of person she was when she was just in love, and her waist was no longer slender. However, that innate sentimentality still lingered around the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

In Huiqi’s eyes, Linglong was the kind of woman who was “gorgeous but not refined, seductive but not demonic”, Naturally, she was attracted to Linglong, who had a strong plasticity and was also a person who possessed both delicate beauty and charm. That was why she nurtured Linglong well. Otherwise, Linglong would not have such a day. As Linglong thought about it, she slowly threw the fish food in her hand into the water, and the fish quickly gathered together.

The two of them walked in the winding corridor for a while. They walked back and forth three or two times. Ah Fei looked at the time and said, “Go back. It should be time for dinner. If the Empress really wants to come and see, she will have to wait until the meal is over.”

Above his head.

Flowers have turned into mud, leaves into shade, and seeds into branches.

Linglong took heavy steps into the side hall. Because the inner hall hadn’t been cleaned up yet, Linglong could only go to the side hall first. After sitting down, The palace maids had already stood in rows and rows to pass the food, Ah Wen’s snake-like eyes, She looked closely at a little girl in front of her. This little girl had never been here before when she usually laid the vegetables. Today was a new face. In the past, the dishes would be gently placed on the big table in front of the last person’s hand. The last person was naturally Qin’er. Today, Qin’er was no longer here. Naturally, someone else was helping to carry the dishes.

The little girl felt the scorching light coming from the eyes in front of her. At the same time, she smiled and turned her head around. It just so happened that it collided with Ah Wen’s gaze. Ah Wen only lightly nodded and saw that the dishes were all on the table. She had already placed two-thirds of the table.

They handed over Linglong’s rice bowl. Linglong’s rice bowl was carved from Hetian white jade, and her chopsticks were embedded in ebony. After handing over the bowl and chopsticks, the little palace maid went to Linglong’s dinner gallantly.

After everything was settled, there were only a few girls left. Naturally, this little girl wanted to leave, but Ah Wen suddenly stopped her and said, “Stay here and serve the Empress.”

She showed a flattered look and said, “Is it really possible?”

“Sure.”

“Then this servant is truly fortunate.” She hurriedly went to the front and gently rolled up her sleeves. She used the silver chopsticks to gently place all the dishes in her hand on a plate, and even more gently placed them on Linglong’s hand.

Linglong raised her chopsticks. Just as she was about to eat, Ah Huo suddenly said, “Your Highness, you can’t. Usually, there are people who try dishes. Has Your Highness forgotten?” Only then did Linglong remember that Qin’er usually tasted every dish before giving it to her. She pointed at the little palace maid in front of her and said, “Come and try the dish.”

The little palace maid was obviously a little incredulous. Linglong saw that the little palace maid’s expression changed a few times. She nodded again and said, “Yes, just try.”

Linglong also felt that this little palace maid had eyes and asked, “Which palace were you on duty in?”

‘”servant is just a rough messenger girl. She used to help the gardener look after the flowers. I heard that no one was arranged by Aunt Li Sheng. Since the Empress is worried, then servant will try the dishes.” As he spoke, he picked up a little of each dish, He then chewed slowly, Linglong saw that there was nothing unusual about her, Only then did he bring over the bowls and chopsticks, She didn’t know if it was intentional or unintentional, but Linglong always felt that her eyes were filled with wisdom and hope that surpassed ordinary people’s. To say that the owner of such a pair of eyes was a mediocre person, it was probably a bit hard to believe. How did Qin’er and Li Sheng employ people? It was impossible for such an outstanding girl to stay outside and plant flowers. Thinking of this, Linglong couldn’t help but hesitate in her stomach.

However, when it came to the poisonous food, there seemed to be no problem. Linglong thought for a while and did not understand. She picked up the bowl again and placed the japonica rice on the ebony chopsticks embedded with gold. This time, she looked at the little palace maid’s expression again. It was as if she knew that Linglong would definitely observe her. She immediately lowered her head.

“There’s nothing else for you here. You can go down first. We’ll summon you if there’s anything else.” Ah Gun instructed. After he finished his instructions, he pointed to the front. The little palace maid was still smiling happily and slowly retreated. Just as she walked away, Ah Gun instructed a little palace maid beside her, “Follow her well and don’t lose her.”

This little palace maid was naturally a person with high martial arts skills. This was also arranged by Ah Shen with great difficulty. There were two good ways to disguise as a palace maid. One was to not attract anyone’s attention, and the other was to be able to start paying attention to danger anytime and anywhere.

“Your Highness, don’t you think this person is a bit unfamiliar?” Ah Wen asked, She held Linglong a little further away from the table and said, She personally picked up a portion of each dish and sniffed it carefully. However, she did not feel anything unusual. Ah Wen’s nose was also very powerful. If there was a little bit of poison, she could smell it. However, she did not. Ah Wen was slightly relieved. She almost thought that she had done something wrong and should not be suspicious.

Linglong also didn’t dare to eat. She stared at Ah Ao and asked, “Is it poisonous?”

‘”Usually, the kitchen would send more things over, but the Empress looked at this dish. Bai Zhuo looked at the tide. The tide in this dish and the almonds in that dish would form a kind of poison, so this dish was still not edible.” A’er’s words had already caused Bai Zhuowang Chao to retreat. Linglong thought carefully and Zhi Yi looked at A’er. “It’s good that Qin’er is here. She is in charge of these servant palace maids. Is it obvious to the people around this palace?”

It was said that Cao Cao had arrived. Qin’er had already packed all the things up. Only then did she arrive at the side hall. Seeing that they were testing the dishes, she hurriedly walked over. Linglong was in a good mood now. She said, “Is there a palace maid here who is a rough messenger girl?”

Qin’er thought for a while and shook her head, “The gardener has been dismissed. There was no need for a gardener because of the poisonous snake two months ago. Has the Empress forgotten?” After Qin’er finished speaking, she looked at Linglong.

Just now, Linglong was concerned, but now she remembered that it was indeed true. After the poisonous snake incident last time, there were no specialized gardeners in Qixia Palace. It was only Li Sheng who was farming. Now that she remembered it, she realized it.

However, Linglong still sighed and said, “It’s a pity that you’re a step late. Otherwise, you can see if that palace maid is on duty outside.” Qin’er said, “These dishes were delivered from the Imperial Cuisine Room?”

Linglong nodded. Qin’er did not know what she was thinking. After a long time, she sighed and said, “This servant met a girl when she came back just now. She is heading outside the Qixia Palace. Could this girl be the person that the Empress said she would come to serve the Empress?” Linglong asked what she looked like. The two of them looked at each other. Linglong couldn’t help but be surprised. “Yes, that’s right.”
