Gluttonous Crown Princess - Chapter 79
The bright moon hangs high, and the silver moonlight envelopes the Mingyue Palace.
In the inner hall, the fifth prince was lying on the bed with a pale face, and Xu Guifei squeezed his hand tightly, her eyebrows furrowed, her expression worried.
In the outer hall, Zhou Huang sat in the upper seat at the back, his face unclear.
Pei Lingbi was sitting on the lower left, gloating between his brows and eyes. She stared at Tao Ti, “Prince Princess, the five emperors are as strong as a small calf on weekdays, with only a handful of hair burns and colds in a year. Why did you eat something in your Yaoguang Hall today and vomit and diarrhea when you come back? Are you dying?”
Tao Ti sat on the chair, squeezed the armrest tightly, raised his eyes and looked at Pei Lingbi, “What do you mean by this?”
Pei Lingbi raised his chin and said, “I just see the princess, you can still be so calm, this mentality is really admirable.”
Tao Ti said coldly, “Otherwise? How do you want me to behave, cry and make trouble, clear the relationship, or plead guilty in time?”
Pei Lingbi choked for a while, she snorted coldly, “It has nothing to do with you anyway!”
Tao Ti is really bored with this Pei Lingbi, how can there be such goods everywhere.
She took a deep breath and muttered silently, “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, angry leave room for the devil.”
The six princesses on the side put their hands on the back of Tao Ti’s hands, gave her a comforting look, and said softly, “Sister-in-law, Brother Wuhuang and I ate the same thing with you, am I not doing well right now? If the empress and imperial concubine blame you later, I can testify to you.”
Tao Ti held her hand back and smiled gently, “Thank you Xiao Liu.”
After that, she turned her face and stared at the unidentified inner temple, still feeling a little nervous——
The fifth prince and the sixth princess tried milk tea at her this morning, and after lunch, they left.
Both children were fine when they left, full of energy and vigorous.
At night, when Tao Ti was preparing to cook a bowl of rice noodles across the bridge for dinner, someone suddenly came to the palace of Xu Guifei, saying that the five princes were unwell and might be poisoned, so they came to ask if the five princes had eaten something at Yaoguang Hall today. What did you drink?
Tao Ti naturally couldn’t sit still, and immediately came to Mingyue Palace with the palace people.
She came over with her front foot, and then came Queen Zhou on her back foot. The speed was so fast that she looked like a good queen who was wholeheartedly thinking about the harem’s son.
Tao Ti has always been unwilling to speculate on others with the worst of his mind, but for Pei Lingbi, Tao Ti can say very clearly that this product is just for his own misfortune. If Pei Lingbi cared about the fifth prince, she would not believe a word.
At present, the imperial doctor is treating the five princes inside, and some eunuchs go to the small kitchen of Yaoguang Hall to check it again. Tao Ti is not afraid of the shadow crooked, so they can check it.
The **** in charge of the Mingyue Palace also questioned the palace staff of Yaoguang Palace.
The people in the Yaoguang Temple have a unified calibre, and they all say, “We all drank the milk tea made by the prince, and it was all fine! As for the lunch for the prince and princess at noon, it was all delivered by the East Palace Dining Room, you guys. If you want to check, go to the dining room to check.”
The **** in charge had to go to the Donggong dining room to go through the procedures again.
On the other side, Pei Yan and Emperor Zhaokang’s sedan chair stopped at the gate of Mingyue Palace almost at the same time.
Pei Yan got off the sedan chair and respectfully saluted Emperor Zhaokang.
Emperor Zhaokang glanced at his sweaty forehead as he rushed, and said in a deep voice, “Go back and change clothes first, don’t let the wind chill.”
Pei Yan pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “Father, the children are fine.”
Emperor Zhaokang’s face turned black, but seeing Pei Yan’s eyebrows full of persistence, he finally said solemnly, “Forget it, go in first and see what’s going on.”
The father and son walked into the hall one after another.
Hearing the announcement of “Your Majesty is here”, Tao Ti’s heart “cocked”: It’s a mess, the emperor is also here.
Hearing the announcement of “His Royal Highness is coming”, Tao Ti suddenly “like listening to Xianle’s ears” and almost didn’t cry.
Family, backer——
As soon as Pei Yan stepped into the hall, she saw her little princess looking at him with big wet eyes.
The look of trust and reliance touches people’s hearts.
He nodded at her, calming firmness in his dark eyes.
Everyone in the hall was busy saluting Emperor Zhaokang and Pei Yan, and even Concubine Xu Gui hurried out.
Emperor Zhaokang raised his hand to exempt everyone from the courtesy, and his dark and unclear gaze scanned the people present.
Tao Ti didn’t know if it was her own illusion. He always felt that Emperor Zhaokang looked at him with a sharp gaze, which made her be cautious and jumped twice.
Emperor Zhaokang asked Concubine Xu, “How is Chen’er?”
Concubine Xu Gui took the veil and pressed the corner of her eye, without answering, she whispered, “Doctor Chen.”
Madam Chen immediately stepped forward, bent over and arched his hands, “Returning to your Majesty, the Minister diagnosed that this is not a poisoning disease for the Fifth Prince. It should be… it should be diarrhea and vomiting caused by eating something unclean.”
Emperor Zhaokang said, “What did Chen’er eat today?”
Concubine Xu Gui believed in the prince, but the emperor asked, she could only answer one to five to ten, “This morning Chen’er used a bowl of bird’s nest porridge and two auspicious wishful rolls in the court of concubines, and they were compared with six. The princess went to the Yaoguang Hall of the prince. Chen’er returned from lunch in the Yaoguang Hall and said that after eating enough, he didn’t eat any more. Until the hour, he began to have diarrhea and vomiting… I was panicking, so I hurriedly invited the royal doctor to see it.”
Pei Lingbi looked at Tao Ti with a complaining expression, “Father, Chen’er must have eaten something bad with the princess. I heard that the princess had a bunch of messy things today, and let Xiaowu and Xiaoliu get along with him. The palace people tried to eat together. The little five and the little six are all golden and noble bodies, and the princess let them eat the same thing as the palace people!”
Empress Zhou glared at Pei Lingbi with annoyance, and her tone was full of warnings, “Lingbi!”
Pei Lingbi lowered his head angrily, and muttered unconvincedly, “It was originally.”
Emperor Zhaokang narrowed his black eyes and turned to Tao Ti, “Prince Concubine, what do you say?”
Tao Ti was still a little flustered, but now Pei Yan was standing behind her. From an invisible angle, he gently placed one hand on her waist to “support” her. Settle down.
“Back to the father, the fifth prince did eat a lot of food in the daughter-in-law’s palace, but all the food that the fifth prince ate, the daughter-in-law and the sixth princess also ate, and now we are both safe and sound. No problem.” She is neither humble nor overbearing, her eyes are calm.
“Father, what the prince concubine and sister-in-law said is true.” The sixth princess said timidly. Although she feared the majesty of her father, she could not let the prince concubine and sister-in-law be unjustly wronged.
Seeing that the timid little daughter on weekdays had spoken for Tao Ti, Emperor Zhaokang’s eyebrows moved slightly, and he gave Tao Ti a thoughtful look.
At this time, the palace people who were in charge of inspecting the small kitchen of Yaoguang Hall and the dining room of the East Palace also came back, and they found nothing.
For a while, the hall was quiet a bit.
When everyone was wondering, Emperor Zhaokang said, “Go in and see Chen’er.”
He stepped forward, and Queen Zhou and Concubine Xu also followed.
Pei Yan held Tao Ti’s hand and felt her fingers feel cold, her thick eyebrows frowned, and she whispered, “It’s okay, I’m here.”
Tao Ti raised his head and looked at him, her dark eyes were extremely bright, “Your Highness, do you believe me?”
Pei Yan looked at his eyebrows, “You are my prince, I naturally believe in you.”
Tao Ti’s heart warmed and smiled at him.
Everyone entered the hall together.
The fifth prince’s face was pale, and he looked collapsed. Seeing a bunch of people around him, he pulled the quilt a little embarrassedly, not wanting to see people.
Emperor Zhaokang cared a few words, and then Queen Zhou also cared a few words.
“Good Xiaowu, it’s so pitiful.” Pei Lingbi shook his head and sighed, then gave Tao Ti a slanted look, “You, don’t be greedy again next time, who knows if the food others feed you can’t do it cleanly.” ”
As soon as this was said, the atmosphere on the scene became embarrassing again.
Concubine Xu Gui’s expression was not very good, and she rolled her eyes calmly.
Empress Zhou’s face was not good, she cursed an idiot in her heart, and dragged her behind her back.
Although the fifth prince on the bed was young, he was not stupid. He suddenly heard the meaning in Pei Lingbi’s words, and said unhappy, “Where is the prince’s concubine and sister-in-law? Besides, the things made by the prince concubine and sister-in-law are very clean, delicious and clean!”
Seeing that the fifth prince was actually speaking to an outsider, Pei Lingbi’s eyes flashed, his face was calm, and his heart was very unhappy.
Tao Ti saw that the fifth prince collapsed like this, and he did not forget to speak for himself. If he said that he was not moved, it would be false.
She calmed down and asked the fifth prince in a low voice, “Little Wu, today you left Yaoguang Hall, did you eat anything else?”
The fifth prince felt a little embarrassed when he thought of his ailing appearance, avoiding Tao Ti’s eyes, and whispered, “I haven’t eaten anymore, I have eaten until noon, and I am not hungry by the time I have dinner. ”
Tao Ti is also puzzled. She can guarantee that her food preparation steps are absolutely clean…
At this moment, standing in the corner, the little **** who was serving the fifth prince whispered, “His Royal Highness, didn’t you still have a cup of milk tea in the evening?”
The fifth prince said, “Yes, what’s the matter?”
When Tao Ti heard this, she stayed for a while, “Did milk tea in the evening?”
The fifth prince said, “Well, when we left from Yaoguang Hall today, the sister-in-law, you gave me and Xiao Liuzhuang milk tea, you let us take it on the road to drink. I am not willing to drink it, I want to taste it later. …”
Tao Ti: Well, it seems that the case has been solved.
Pei Yan lowered his eyes and asked Tao Ti, “Ati, is this milk tea caused?”
“It should be.” Tao Ti twitched the corner of his mouth and said, “Milk tea is generally the best to drink within an hour, especially this kind of freshly boiled milk. Don’t drink it for more than two hours. Not to mention it is now. In summer, the weather is sultry and there is no ice…Ice cubes and the like are easily broken.”
It has been more than six hours since the fifth prince left Yaoguang Hall with milk tea to him in the evening, and it has been more than six hours.
If you change to poor people, maybe you will not vomit and diarrhea so severely. But the five princes have been pampered since they were young, and their stomachs have never been tempered. Coupled with the fact that they are young and weak in their stomachs, the symptoms are so serious.
Hearing Tao Ti’s explanation, the hall suddenly fell into a strange silence.
It’s embarrassing.
After making such a big break, going around and around, it was the fifth prince himself that caused the trouble.
The fifth prince hid under the quilt with some guilty conscience.
Concubine Xu Gui gave the fifth prince a “nuclear good” look. If it weren’t for seeing him still ill, she would definitely have to beat up this boring brat.
In the end, Emperor Zhaokang coughed slightly, breaking the embarrassment, “Okay, it’s late at night, now that I figured out what was going on, I should go away and let Chen’er rest.”
Concubine Xu Gui was very embarrassed and said to Tao Ti, “Prince Concubine, this is all about Chen’er, a kid who doesn’t know how to make trouble, so please don’t care about it. When he is fine, I will personally lead him to apologize.”
Tao Ti lowered her head and whispered, “Your concubine is polite, I’m to blame for this, so I should tell him.”
You are polite and I am polite. It was originally an oolong. Everyone has a very good attitude and the atmosphere has gradually become more harmonious.
Empress Zhou retreated with Pei Lingbi first, and Emperor Zhaokang rewarded Tao Ti with a few things, which was regarded as compensation for almost misunderstanding her.
The outside of the temple was already dark, and the night breeze was blowing.
After crossing the threshold of Mingyue Palace, Tao Ti let out a long sigh of relief.
Pei extended his hand and rubbed her hair, and said softly, “It’s okay.”
Tao Ti let out a low “um”, but didn’t continue walking.
Pei Yan looked at her, “What’s the matter?”
Tao Ti raised her small porcelain white face and squeezed out an expression of laughter and crying, “His Royal Highness, you give me a hand, my and my legs seem to be weak…”
After she finished speaking, feeling ashamed, she hung her head down.
Pei Yan couldn’t laugh or cry.
This little girl is always like this, with a look on her face that she is not afraid of anything, and she shows her timidity in private.
But it is undeniable that he likes it very much. Like her in front of him, never pretend to be strong.
This trust and softness made him want to hold her in his palm and love her even more.
Pei Yanqingjun’s face became softer, he suddenly bent down and hugged her horizontally.
Tao Ti, “???”
She blushed with shame, her little hand grabbed his shirt, and whispered, “His Royal Highness, you let me down, this is Mingyue Palace, there are so many palace people watching!”
Pei Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled lazily and softly on his lips, “Just look, what’s wrong with me holding my own lady?”
Tao Ti’s face turned redder, and she was simply an ostrich, buried her head deeply in his arms, but the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but rise.
Her Royal Highness is so kind.
