Farmer’s Daughter: General is Planting - Chapter 430
Bai Xian and Lan Shi, who knew nothing about this, had been picking up wild fruits on their way up the mountain. They had already picked up almost all the wild fruits near the top of the mountain. In addition, they had to leave some food for the winter animals. They had not picked fruit for a long time.
However, while picking the fruit, they were on their way, which seriously affected the speed of the people. When it was almost dark, the four people returned to the top of the mountain and watched Qi Shuang waiting at the intersection. Bai Xian’s heart was warm, just as Ding Minying always waited for herself when she knew she was going home.
The result of this move was that Bai Xian took a large package to Qi Shuang’s room and explained it to Qi Shuang one by one: “aunt Qi, don’t blame me for making claims. I’m just sorry to disturb you here all the time. This is a thin cloak and thick. These two jackets can be changed in winter, and two thick cotton pants.”
Qi Shuang looked at Bai Xian’s clothes one by one. She was very moved, but she couldn’t accept it: “xian’er, thank you for your kindness, but I’m used to it. Shuang Hanfeng may be a little colder than the foot of the mountain, but it’s much cleaner here.”
Yes, Bai Xian also thinks that life at the top of frost cold peak is very good. She is far away from the noise of the world and has no intrigues. She just lives ordinary between heaven and earth, but she can’t let herself simply enjoy the hard won peace. She still has great revenge.
“Aunt Qi, if my mother leaves, can you let me treat you like a relative? These clothes are just for keeping out the cold. How can they affect your Taoist heart? Take them.”
Qi Shuang blinked and held back the acid in her eyes. She recalled that when she first went up the mountain, she was taught by her master to restrain all desires and not be influenced by any inner greedy thoughts. She deliberately refused Bai Xian’s request, but she couldn’t bear to refuse when she saw the child’s admiration in Bai Xian’s eyes.
Bai Xian took the opportunity to put down all her clothes and left. When she returned to the room, she couldn’t help thinking of Ding Minying who had gone to heaven. She clenched her teeth when she thought that her mother had been killed by Gong Huamin. Ding Minying gave her the only maternal love in her two lives. If she didn’t repay this revenge, she had a hard conscience.
Put on warm thick clothes, Bai Xian got up early the next morning to make breakfast. Unexpectedly, someone came earlier than her. As soon as she entered the door and saw Qi Shuang standing in front of the stove, her eyes lit up and grinned.
“Aunt Qi, I said it must fit you. It seems that my eyes are still very sharp.”
Qi Shuang is wearing a bun and has not come to insert a hairpin. She is much less fierce and serious than usual. In addition, she is wearing a blue robe specially bought by Bai Xian today, taking advantage of her softness.
“Yes, I haven’t worn winter clothes for many years. You’ve been cooking these days. Today I’ll let you taste my craft.”
Yesterday, Bai Xian and others brought back a lot of fresh vegetables bought in the market. Qi Shuang specially got up early in the morning to grind beans and cook soybean milk. She made a small pot of steaming tofu herself. What she wanted to do was a plain Tofu Pot. Bai Xian looked at her itchy hands and made several dipping materials with different tastes, which can be directly dipped with chopped hot tofu.
They worked together for less than half an hour, and a simple and delicious breakfast was served.
To everyone’s surprise, the tofu pot made by Qi Shuang was even higher than that of Bai Xian. The soup was light and delicious. The radish had no earthy spicy taste. Coupled with the boiled soft eggs, everyone ate two bowls and almost swallowed the pot.
Bai Xian realized how arrogant she had been before. She said to Qi Shuang in shame: “I always thought I could eat what I made. Unexpectedly, aunt Qi, your food can make perfect use of the taste of the ingredients itself. This is the real food.”
Qi Shuang patted Bai Xian on the shoulder: “xian’er, you are killing me. I have lived on the top of the mountain for so many years. This is the only dish I can take. If you hadn’t come, I wouldn’t be able to eat delicious food.”
Bai Xian secretly vowed to prepare food more carefully in the future, but what happened next upset her and didn’t even want to cook lunch.
After breakfast, Bai Xian came to Shao Yue’s room. According to the usual practice, they browsed the news sent by the soldiers the day before. The ups and downs of Luodu were written on a small piece of paper, which made Bai Xian wonder what some people were doing for.
With the secret fold brought back by Bai Xiu’s return, the voice of criticizing he Jincheng in the court was much less. At this time, empress Mu took off her hairpin and knelt in the Jinluan hall. With a self reproach attitude, she expressed her willingness to give up the Phoenix throne, immediately replaced the rumors of empress Mu’s immorality, and spread all over Luodu.
The emperor’s response was justified. He personally sent the queen back to the palace and asked the forbidden guards to strictly investigate all suspicious candidates in the palace. Then he personally wrote a warning about all the things queen Mu had helped him do over the years. For a moment, Queen Mu’s reputation spread far and wide, so that all the people of Dayin knew it.
At this time, the right prime minister’s mansion ventured out to visit Zuo Quan’s palace. Hua Min was sitting by Zuo Quan’s bed and weeping: “Zuo Lang, I’ll tell you that the emperor can never make our child a prince. The old goblin hasn’t given the emperor a good face these years, but the emperor still only cares about her in his heart. Sobbing.”
A dim light flashed in Zuo Quan’s eyes. He was dissatisfied with Gong Huamin, who wanted his heart but also the emperor’s favor. No man in the world wanted to see his woman courting other men.
“Well, well, don’t cry. Your eyes are swollen when the Emperor just issued a warning. If someone with a heart finds out, you may say that you are jealous of the queen.”
Of course, Gong Huamin is jealous of the queen. She believes that Rong Hua is peerless. When she accidentally met the emperor and the queen on a tour in micro clothes, she felt that queen Mu was not as beautiful as herself, so she tried to get close to the emperor. Finally, on the emperor’s way to hunting, she deliberately fell in front of his carriage and became the imperial concubine. When she first entered the palace, Queen Mu had a quarrel with the emperor, She has been thinking that one day she can be the queen. Who expected that the most important thing in the emperor’s heart is the queen. In that case, she can’t be blamed for being cruel.
“Zuo Lang, just help me. Even if you don’t want to help me, you have to help our an’er. The crown prince has many ministers in the court, but few really take refuge in our an’er. You must find a way.”
Zuo Quan was upset by her crying. The wound that had not completely recovered began to hurt again, which made him cough a few times. Gong Huamin stopped talking and patted Zuo Quan on the back himself. After he was comfortable, he said, “Zuo Lang, I know you don’t like listening to me about these things, but we have been fighting for this goal for more than 20 years. Can you give up?”
Zuo Quan certainly wouldn’t give up. Especially after he guessed that the person who stabbed him should be sent by Bai Xian, he didn’t want to give up. Originally, he thought he would have a taste of holding power after king an ascended the throne, but after being stabbed, the imperial doctor said that he was seriously injured and must have a good rest in the future.
He wanted power but had no healthy body. Zuo Quan regretted that he didn’t kill Bai Xian directly, so he wouldn’t lie sick in bed like a consumptive ghost.
“Don’t worry. I’ll help an’er get what belongs to him. Don’t worry. Empress Mu’s reputation in the palace and the court has not been affected, but has become more and more respected. Don’t get in trouble with her in the palace.”
