The Empress Wants To Be Deposed! - Chapter 9

Cui Nong is an extremely smart person, and he has a thorough understanding of the Queen Mother Song’s thoughts.

So when the two snacks were delivered to Li Chengxuan, she not only said that they were made by the Queen Mother’s little kitchen according to the instructions of the Queen Mother, but there was also no shortage of words that Song Jinning specially ordered someone to make them.

“…The Queen Niangniang said, this is a famous snack in the south of the Yangtze River. The wild vegetables used in it are seasonal products of this season, and they are very fragrant. As for the glutinous rice inside, it is warm in nature, sweet in taste, and enters the lungs. The spleen meridian has the effects of invigorating deficiency, blood, strengthening the spleen and warming the stomach.”

Li Chengxuan snorted in disdain.

A piece of wild vegetable is made and can’t be served on the table, but you just say it is a rare delicacy and nourishing sacred product in the world, and you can be regarded as a personal talent.

And this is definitely not what Song Jinning asked someone to do for him.

He’s not a fool, a blind man, can’t he see Song Jinning’s indifference to him on the wedding night, and the expectation that he would disappear before her eyes immediately?

Furthermore, if Song Jinning asked someone to do this for him, even if it wasn’t Song Jinning personally sent it, it should be Song Jinning’s maidservant. How could Cui Ning send it?

It must be that Song Jinning took these two snacks to honor the Queen Mother Song, and the Queen Mother Song called Cui Nong to do this in order to match the two of them.

However, even though he had clearly seen the truth behind the incident, Li Chengxuan did not show any impatience or contempt on his face.

Instead, he immediately ordered Zhou Jing to take a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and took a bite of the fried Haozi Ba Ba in front of Cui Nong.

Then his expression on his face paused slightly.

Then there is a compliment that tastes very good, he has never tasted it before.

Seeing that his mission had been achieved, Cui Nong spoke and turned back to return to life with Queen Mother Song.

As soon as she walked out of the hall with her front foot, Zhou Jing hurried forward on her back foot to remove the two snacks from the case.

This is the emperor of the Ninth Five Years, what kind of delicacies have not been eaten in the world? Are you holding two pieces of folk snacks, or something made of wild vegetables, who are you looking down on?

Don’t talk about eating, Zhou Jing felt that as Li Chengxuan, he was aggrieved by just looking at these two snacks.

What’s more, the emperor just took a bite…

Zhou Jing felt that it was really difficult for Li Chengxuan to win the trust of the Queen Mother.

How many things you are unwilling to do, how many things you say against your own will.

The two white porcelain plates were hurriedly removed from the case.

As he withdrew, he still contemptuously slandered in his heart, tusk, what kind of color pattern in the palace is not there, but it is so plain and white that the same plate is used for these two things? This person’s aesthetics is also absolutely perfect.

But he changed his mind to think that these two items are nothing more than mountain village food, I’m afraid the folks will use them to feed pigs and chickens. This white porcelain plate is already for the face of this gadget. What kind of expensive porcelain should I use to install it?

Turning around, handed the two plates to an inmate who was waiting on the side. Zhou Jing turned around and said to Li Chengxuan emotionally: “Your Majesty was wronged just now. The slave then asked someone to go to the Imperial Dining Room to pick up some cakes for your Majesty to change?”

On the one hand, he held up the tureen on the case very considerately, and handed it to Li Chengxuan with both hands.

“Your Majesty, rinse your mouth first.”

Li Chengxuan: …

He was still holding the pair of silver-inlaid ebony chopsticks just now.

Originally wanted to wait for Cui Nong to use some Haozi Ba Ba Ba Ba, who knew that Zhou Jing even took these away in a blink of an eye.

In order to maintain his majesty and unfathomableness, the young emperor always has a paralyzed face in front of outsiders, which ensures that no one can see what he is thinking.

So naturally he can’t tell Zhou Jing now that the Haozi Baba is indeed very delicious…

That’s it.

Li Chengxuan put down the ebony chopsticks in his hand and took the tureen from Zhou Jing’s hand expressionlessly.

Only two sips of tea were sipped, but the fragrance in the mouth still didn’t dilute.

Then he ate the cakes that the inner supervisor had brought from the imperial dining room.

They are all his favorite foods, but he couldn’t help but recall the peculiar taste of Haozi Ba Ba just now while he was eating.

So why did Zhou Jing feel that he knew him so well that he would withdraw those two snacks without him speaking?

Is the mind of the emperor something you can guess casually?

Seeing Zhou Jing’s eyes he couldn’t help but began to sink.

Zhou Jing: …

Zhou Jing’s legs began to tremble involuntarily.

How does he feel that His Majesty is upset?

But why is your Majesty unhappy? He thinks his errands today are pretty good.

Zhou Jing couldn’t understand.

But he couldn’t hold Li Chengxuan’s increasingly heavy gaze. So he hurriedly bowed his head, shrank his shoulders and bent over, wishing that his sense of presence in this hall was getting smaller and smaller.

It’s useless.

In the next moment, he heard Lee Chengxuan’s unsteady voice slowly ringing.

“Did you make tea today?”

“Yes.” Zhou Jing answered unclearly.

This master is not so picky about drinking tea.

In Zhou Jing’s view, it was obviously just a bowl of tea, and its function was just to quench thirst. But in Li Chengxuan’s case, he only needs to taste one bite. Needless to say, he can immediately tell which kind of tea it is, even if it is soaked in rain or snow.

Zhou Jing has served Li Chengxuan for seven or eight years, and he knows that he is picky in this matter. So even though he is now the head of the internal supervision of the fifth grade, he still makes tea for Li Chengxuan himself from time to time.

For example, the bowl of tea Li Chengxuan just drank was made by himself.

Zhou Jing is not worried about what will happen to this bowl of tea, because he is used to making tea.

He still has this confidence.

So the emperor suddenly asked him these words, in fact he wanted to reward him with excuses? Because just now he was very winking and removed those two mountain and village foods that were not on the table?

The more Zhou Jing thinks about it, the more it feels like this. So his body no longer rickets, and his head no longer hangs down.

Going to stand up straight to receive the reward.

But before he stood up completely, he heard Li Chengxuan’s moodless voice again.

“The water for making tea boils for a while when it boils. You will be punished to go to the imperial dining room as a sitter for a day.”

Zhou Jing: …

What kind of tongue does this master have? Can you even taste the boiling water for several times?

No, is there such a person in the world?

Zhou Jingxin had doubts, but even if he borrowed ten courage from him, he would not dare to ask.

I had to lower my head again, bend down, and say respectfully, “Yes.”

Yes, I didn’t get the expected reward, but I’m going to be a clerk for a day.

This is to enable him to better master the skill of burning fire, so that he can make better tea in the future?

With full of doubts and incomprehension, Zhou Jing turned and went out of the hall to the imperial dining room.

Song Jinning didn’t know about the one-day trip to the imperial dining room caused by these two wormwood baba.

Song Jinning expressed his understanding that the Queen Mother would be keen on horse-cracking.

When the first emperor was there, there were at least dozens of concubines in the harem. Even if everyone takes turns to wait for bedtime for a day, I’m afraid they won’t take turns once a month.

What’s more, there are incidents such as special pets and poor energy of the first emperor, so many concubines often fail to meet the emperor.

These people are still masters, they don’t do production, and they have maidservants in everything. How boring to be idle every day, don’t find yourself some pastime to pass the time.

Horse hoisting is a sport that is very suitable for recreation.

Because of this, it is first of all effortless and suitable for masters who don’t have to work; secondly, there are four people sitting around a table, and they can gossip while they are playing. At that time, it passed without swishing.

Queen Mother Song loved this sport very much when she was a concubine.

It was only after the death of the first emperor that Minister Gu Ming became dissatisfied. She sat down to listen to politics and was busy with politics all day. This horse-cracking exercise was idled by her for many years.

Now that I am back in politics, I am free, and I can finally regain the sport.

The maidservant held a red sandalwood embossed box with three stars for Fu Lu Shou and placed it on the table.

Song Jinning looked up and saw that the box had four drawers.

The maidservant stretched out her hand to open the uppermost drawer, and carefully took out the horse tag placed inside.

It is an all-in-one 4D card.

Song Jinning understood that this is the horse tag of the same suit in each drawer.

The Queen Mother was still smiling and talking to Princess Hui and Princess Rong who were sitting in the chairs: “We were worried about the family before. There are only a few sisters in this palace. It’s a bit difficult to get together. That’s not it. , Now there is a brand partner.”

Song Jinning: Very good, she is the brand partner.

No wonder the Queen Mother Song just now suddenly asked her if she could play a horse tag. It turned out that it was because of this.

Although Song Jinning replied modestly at the time that she only knew a little bit, she was actually very proficient in this matter.

Don’t ask, ask is the origin of family learning.

At the moment, I sat down calmly at the table and began to sort out the cards.

When playing cards, all you need is that kind of heart-scratching stimulation, so if you don’t have a bet, it will definitely be a little bit worse.

But the Queen Mother Song didn’t make a big bet.

In fact, money is not a problem. At the level of the few people here, still worry about money? Isn’t this worrying that if you win or lose too much, you will hurt each other’s peace.

After two rounds of cards played, Song Jinning roughly figured out the level of the three present.

Mrs. Yi Rong has the highest level, followed by Mrs. Hui, and Queen Mother of Song is the last.

But it is obvious that the Empress Dowager Song is the person who is most enthusiastic about this sport.

The corners of Song Jinning’s lips are slightly curved.

This Queen Mother Song is a bit interesting.

Just now, I didn’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and Mrs. Hui and Mrs. Rong coincidentally let Song Jinning sit on the head of the Queen Mother.

Is this asking her to release water to the Queen Mother Song, or to guard against her Husband?

But Song Jinning was very on the road.

She would neither deliberately guard against the Queen Mother Song Hu cards, nor would she just feed her cards just to please the Queen Mother Song. After all, if Hu’s success is too smooth, or Hu’s frequency is too much, then there will be less fun.

Therefore, after estimating the cards in the hands of the Queen Mother, she usually follows the Queen Mother Song’s cards first, and then waits until about the same time before throwing out a card that the Queen Mother Song needs.

This card must also be a card, so that when the Queen Mother Song eats it, she will be pleased, and she will feel very fulfilled in her heart.

Of course, Song Jinning wouldn’t just lose blindly, she would still be fooled when it was time to play.

Whose money is not money? She didn’t think about winning the money of these three, but she didn’t think about losing money either.
