The Empress Wants To Be Deposed! - Chapter 47
Although Song Jinning has superb card skills, isn’t it because the Queen Mother Song and others play cards with her every time. Everyone is mainly for fun, so she can’t really let go of her hands and feet to win, so as not to hurt each other’s feelings.
So even if she wants to win, she usually wins a little bit (except for the fight with Lee Seung-sun), and sometimes she even loses a little bit. But this time, it was Tianhu again, and he knew it all by himself. With such two big Husbands, the silver he won would be considerable.
Mrs. Rong took out the silver for Song Jinning. While shuffling the cards, she turned her head and said with a smile to the Queen Mother Song: “I thought the emperor came here to give the queen money, but now it seems that this is where the silver is coming. Come to collect our money.”
The Queen Mother Song laughed.
“No. He only sat next to Ning’er for a while, and Ning’er felt completely ashamed. But he can’t let him sit down next to Ning’er anymore, otherwise the money I brought over today will be lost. Not enough to lose.”
Even though Li Chengxuan was able to hold his head down when he was facing the courtiers in front of him, he could suppress them all with a single word, but now he was facing four women.
Can’t you still “talk to the Confucians” with them, right? They can only let them tease.
Moreover, when they ridiculed, what they said was that he and Song Jinning had a good relationship. In this regard, Li Chengxuan discovered that he actually, seems, still likes to listen to this kind of ridicule.
Without speaking, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
As for Song Jinning, she must be even more silent.
She also understood. It doesn’t matter what she says or how she behaves. Anyway, these people have already determined that she and Li Chengxuan are in a good relationship, but they will tease them whenever they get the chance.
In that case, what does she spend the time to explain?
As the saying goes, he makes him strong, and the breeze blows the hills. Just play your own cards.
But in response to their ridicule, she decided to let go of the big beards today.
Li Xiyan is a kind and good girl. Seeing that Li Chengxuan and Song Jinning did not speak under the teasing of Madam Rong and Queen Mother Song, they only thought that they were both shy.
And so did the mother, who actually said something to prevent the emperor’s brother from sitting next to the emperor’s sister-in-law. Although it was a joke, didn’t the emperor brother embarrass him with such a thin-skinned person?
Just kindly relieved. Call Li Chengxuan: “Brother Emperor, I don’t know how to play cards. Come and help me see it.”
Li Chengxuan: …
In fact, even if the Queen Mother Song and Mrs. Rong ridiculed again, he planned to sit next to Song Jinning and not leave, but he did not expect that Li Xiyan would even invite him…
This doesn’t seem to work unless it passes.
From the corner of my eye, I looked at Song Jinning, wanting to see what she meant.
Obviously, I wanted her to stay.
Song Jinning said, “Big brother, what do you think of me?” Your sister has spoken, are you still going? And how can I keep it? I didn’t say anything just now. Empress Dowager Song and Mrs. Rong no longer knew our two ridiculed mothers. If I said to keep you, what would they both have to ridicule us like?
Yes, so you should go there quickly.
Obviously, the two of them did not speak, and only briefly met for a while, but it was strange that both of them understood each other’s meaning in an instant.
So Li Chengxuan had to stand up and walk to Li Xiyan.
Naturally, a palace official immediately moved the embroidered pier where Li Chengxuan had just sat on, the tea he had drunk, and the coffee table.
So Cui Nong came back and was surprised to find that the emperor had actually sat beside the princess from the queen’s side.
Standing in the same place for a moment, Cui Nong came back to his senses and turned and walked towards Li Xiyan. Then put the several pastries on the tea tray in his hand on the coffee table in the same way.
Li Chengxuan glanced at it. Seeing it was a plate of tuckahoe cake, a plate of almond cake and a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, there was no egg yolk cake as the little internal supervisor said.
Li Chengxuan kept quiet on his face, reached out his hand and picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and took a bite.
This sweet-scented osmanthus cake has three layers. The upper and lower two layers are as white as snow, with a layer of peanut filling and red bean paste in between, which is really soft and delicious to eat.
This is the proud work of the pastry chef in the small kitchen of Shoukang Palace, and Li Chengxuan has always liked to eat it.
But this time he only took such a bite, put the rest back on the plate, frowned and said, “It’s too sweet.”
Cui Nong: …
Your Majesty, didn’t you like to eat this sweet-scented osmanthus cake the most when you came to Shoukang Palace? Why do you think it is too sweet today?
As for the other two plates of Poria Cake and Almond Crisp, Li Chengxuan didn’t even look at it at all, let alone eat it.
Cui Nong: What happened? Obviously, I brought these pastries according to your past preferences, Your Majesty.
Zhou Jing, who was watching this scene, smiled in his heart.
Your Majesty’s awkward temper.
He smiled and said to Cui Nong, “Your Majesty used to eat these three kinds of cakes. I think they have eaten too much, and they are not very fresh. Dare to ask Cui Nong, you have new ones, and your Majesty did not have them in the past. Pastries you’ve eaten?”
The new ones, the ones that Your Majesty has never eaten before, there are only…
It’s just that this Cui Nong can’t be the master, because after all, it was the queen’s filial piety to the empress dowager.
Zhou Jing said this in a soft voice, and the Queen Mother was sitting there again. Of course she didn’t hear it, but Li Xiyan could hear it.
This kind-hearted little girl doesn’t have as many scruples as Cui Ning. She is the only daughter of the Queen Mother Song. And she has always had a good relationship with Li Chengxuan, the emperor brother.
So after hearing this, she immediately turned her head and called Cui Nong: “Didn’t the emperor’s wife bring a plate of egg yolk cakes when she came here today? The emperor must have never eaten this before. Go get some for the emperor to taste. .”
After going around so many ways and finally reaching this egg yolk cake, Li Chengxuan was proud, but his face was not obvious. Just calmly said to Li Xiyan: “Try to move this card here, is it smooth? Then you can draw with another card.”
Zhou Jing thought to himself that this majesty has never been a talkative person, and now he is willing to appoint the princess how to play cards. It seems that your Majesty is in a happy mood now.
Cui Nong told her about the Empress Dowager Song, and soon went to get a plate of egg yolk crisps.
Just finished a round. It was Li Xiyan who touched a piece of ergonomics. The little girl blushed with excitement. Because although she knows how to play cards, she doesn’t really know how. She used to be able to stumbling on a card from someone else, and she has never drew it by herself.
Unexpectedly, I touched myself now.
She knew in her heart that it was thanks to Li Chengxuan’s good guidance. So grateful, I took a yolk cake and handed it over: “Brother Emperor, you eat it.”
Li Chengxuan glanced at Song Jinning.
Hum, what if you get a new kind of pastry and don’t ask someone to send it to me to taste it, don’t I still taste it now?
Then he took the egg yolk cake Li Xiyan handed over. When I stared, I saw that although it was a small one, it had some weight in the hand.
The surface is golden yellow, and you can see that the skin is very crispy. There are also a few black sesame seeds dotted on it, which makes people feel appetizing at first glance.
Li Chengxuan sent the egg yolk pastry to his lips and took a bite. As he expected, the skin was very crispy.
The inside should be a whole salted egg yolk wrapped in red bean paste, so when it tastes, the saltiness neutralizes the sweetness, and it doesn’t feel very sweet or salty.
And this stuffing should be added with lard and so on, so when it tastes, it will make people feel a strong fragrance.
Except for Song Jinning, this egg yolk cake is the first time everyone has seen it, so it is natural that the Queen Mother Song cannot be eaten by Li Chengxuan alone.
Mrs. Rong is still here, isn’t she?
After taking a break in midfield, the palace staff brought water and cleaned their hands. Everyone ate the yolk cake while drinking tea.
Queen Mother Song and Li Xiyan are okay. When Song Jinning brought this egg yolk pastry earlier, the two of them had already eaten one of them, but it was the first time that Mrs. Rong had eaten it, and she was extremely surprised.
After eating, it is simply full of praise.
When Song Jinning saw this, she smiled and said, “This is just an ordinary snack, it’s nothing. Too, if you think it’s good, I’ll let you get a plate when I wait for my small kitchen to make this again.”
Mrs. Rong stood up and thanked him.
Seeing this, Li Chengxuan couldn’t help but start to feel awkward again.
Okay. Mrs. Rong likes to eat this, you can make someone give her a dish next time. Why do I like this too, so I don’t see you saying let me give me a dish?
Is it true that in your heart, I still can’t compare to Mrs. Rong?
The hand that originally stretched out to take another egg yolk pastry changed its direction halfway, and turned to hold up the tureen, and slowly drank the tea.
After the intermission, the game begins again.
Li Chengxuan was angry and deliberately competed with Song Jinning.
This master was originally a very clever person. Since the last time he came home from Song Jinning’s hand, he has practiced his card skills hard after returning. It can be said that now he can play superbly with one-handed horse sling, and he can rival Song Jinning. .
Under the guise of instructing Li Xiyan to play cards, whenever he catches the opportunity, he will definitely intercept Song Jinning’s cards.
He really cut a few of Song Jinning’s Hus.
Song Jinning was so angry that he ignored Li Chengxuan after leaving the gate of Shoukang Palace, and walked forward on his own.
