Zong Xu didn't have anything to say to his father, and the relationship between the two fathers and sons was already shallow, although Emperor Mingde was now bent on repairing the relationship between father and son, but Zong Xu did not cooperate.He is also long past the age when he needs his father's care and pampering.Wei Xi didn't have a good impression of Emperor Mingde because of what happened to Zong Xu when he was a child, and besides, his daughter-in-law and father-in-law had nothing to say.Therefore, the main hall of Yongshou Palace fell into an awkward silence after the initial politeness.Fortunately, the person who was called to ease the atmosphere finally came.A small figure in a pink palace dress jumped in from outside the hall, and first saluted Emperor Mingde, "Ling Ling has seen my father." ”Then he turned around and saluted Zong Xu and Wei Xi, "I've seen the imperial brother and the imperial sister-in-law." ”Wei Xi looked at the teenage girl in front of her, and remembered that when she was learning court etiquette before, her nurturing grandmother told her that there were three princesses in this palace, the fourth princess was married, and she guarded the frontier with her husband, and the fifth princess was still waiting for the boudoir, and the youngest eleventh princess was called Zong Ling, thinking that it was the little girl in front of her."
You're Little Eleven?"
Zong Ling stood up and nodded, walked over with small steps, glanced at the imperial brother on the side, and carefully took one of Wei Xi's hands, "Imperial sister-in-law, you are so good-looking." ”Wei Xi's eyebrows bent, "The imperial sister-in-law didn't know that you came over today, and she didn't bring a greeting gift, when you have time to go to Fengyi Palace to find me, I will make it up for you." ”She likes to praise her sweet-mouthed little girl who really praises her.Zong Ling came over, and the atmosphere in the hall was finally not as awkward as Fang Cai.Zong Ling danced the dance she had just learned for the imperial sister-in-law again, and saw that the imperial brother nodded at her, which was satisfied with her performance.Suddenly, his mouth became sweeter.After a while, it was noon, the four of them sat at the table and had lunch, Wei Xi was pulled by Zong Xu to think that Emperor Mingde would retire, and waved his hand to Zong Ling, and then came out of the main hall of Yongshou Palace.When passing by the somewhat low side hall next to it, Wei Xi suddenly turned his head to look at it as if he had a feeling, and met a pair of eyes with deep resentment behind the window.Before she could take a closer look, a hand was in front of her."
Don't look."
After walking out of the Yongshou Palace, he got on the sedan chair waiting outside, "That's the former queen?"
”Zong Xu nodded, "She now lives in the side hall of Yongshou Palace, and she can't go out of the side hall until she dies." ”After a moment of silence, "Xi Xi can think that I am too ruthless?"
”"I know there is a saying that good and evil will be rewarded in the end."
Zong Xu smiled with relief.What he has done in this life does not seek the world to understand, but only one person who understands him.Wei Xi held Zong Xu's hand, "Your Majesty, you called the eleventh princess Zong Ling, right?"
”"Well," Zong Xu held it, "You have entered the palace now, I can't accompany you, Zong Jin's temperament in this palace is bad with you, Zong Ling's temperament is good, and the person is also lively, so let her accompany you more in the future." ”Although Wei Xi was quite touched by Zong Xu's arrangement when she didn't know, but, "Your Majesty, I almost forgot to discuss something with you. ”Zong Xu looked down at Wei Xi, who was winking at him, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, "What's the matter?"
”"Can I leave the palace often?"
Zong Xu: "Xi Xi is going to Taoyuan Town?"
”"Uh-huh."
There was silence in the sedan chair for a while, and just when Wei Xi thought that Zong Xu was going to shake his head or avoid the past, he nodded lightly, "Yes, but tell me in advance." ”"If I have time, I will go with you, and if I have no time, you will also take the guards I arranged for you with me.""
It's a deal!"
Zong Xu looked at Wei Xi's outstretched little finger, smiled bitterly and stretched out his little thumb to hook it, "A word is a certainty!"
”He had always known that the walls of the palace could not trap his queen.I couldn't bear to trap her.Luan sedan chair stopped in front of Fengyi Palace, Wei Xi helped Xiao Qi's hand down, and then turned around and waved at Zong Xu, "Go and get busy with you." ”The emperor is the only one who does not have a marriage leave, and even on the second day of the wedding, there are countless folds waiting for him to review.After thinking about it, Wei Xi said again: "I'll make medicinal food for you later." ”Zong Xu showed his face at this time, "I'm waiting for Xi Xi in the imperial study." ”The few jewel palace maids who came up also learned to calm down when they saw this situation.It turns out that His Majesty is not ungentle, but he just gave all his gentleness to the queen.There was a small kitchen in Fengyi Palace, and Wei Xi gave an order, and after a while, all kinds of fresh ingredients and medicinal herbs were sent over.But when it was delivered, Wei Xi had already gone back to bed and slept.When she woke up, she didn't want to wear the grand phoenix robe in the morning, but she didn't wear her ink-colored dress, but picked a red palace robe, and didn't wear the exaggerated phoenix crown on her head, only picked a simple hair crown to wear, and then went to the small kitchen.The four palace maids who were locked outside the study: "They don't even have their share in lighting the fire, what else can they do!"
Wei Xi didn't care about the palace maids who doubted life outside, but after getting familiar with the internal structure of the small kitchen, he began to familiarize himself with the selection of ingredients, medicinal materials, fire, and boiling.As time passed, Yingluo and Jade, who were squatting outside the small kitchen as mushrooms, couldn't help but raise their heads and sniff, "It's so fragrant!"
”"What the hell is the mother doing?
I've never smelled anything like this. ”"Didn't Niang Niang just tell Your Majesty that it was medicinal food, but is there such a fragrant medicinal diet?"
The two of them squatted in the corner and muttered for a while, the door of the small kitchen opened from the inside, and in an instant, a fragrance several times stronger than before swept out, and Yingluo and Jade, who were the first to swallow their saliva, subconsciously swallowed.When I came back to my senses, I saw the queen mother who was carrying a food box in front of her."
The mother forgives the sin, and the slave is out of shape.""
It's okay, I was like you when I first smelled it.You two go clean up the kitchen. ”"Yes."
The queen mother is approachable, and Yingluo is a little bolder, "Dare to ask if the mother has learned to boil medicinal food?"
”"Well, I have a master with more skilled skills, and he is a must for cooking, and even more so for medicinal food."
Seeing Yingluo and Jade's fascinated looks, "I can take you to see you another day." ”"Thank you, mother."
The four palace maids in Fengyi Palace who were sent by Zong Xu to serve his good queen were all carefully selected by him, and the eunuchs he selected for himself to serve were not so attentive.These four palace maids must each have their own skills, and their personalities are in line with his queen's preferences, so they will not be too talkative, but they will not be too dull.The most important thing is to have the right mind.It is not too much to say that these four palace maids are one of the hundreds.Fengyi Palace is not far behind the imperial study, and Wei Xi didn't take her Luan sedan chair, so she went out with Xiao Qi.The guards guarding the door of the imperial study saw that their queen mother was only wearing a red palace robe, and a palace maid who didn't look like a palace maid was brought behind her, so she walked directly from the front on two legs.Thinking of the time when the former queen and the concubines came over every time they came over, several people couldn't help but glance at each other.This style of painting is too different.When Wei Xi approached, everyone hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Meet the queen." ”Wei Xi raised his hand, "No courtesy." ”The two guards closest to the door of the imperial study got up and hurriedly pushed open the hall door, "Niangniang, Your Majesty is in the imperial study, please enter." ”Wei Xi took Xiao Qi across the threshold, and his gaze fell on the end of the main hall.There was a large table, which was full of neatly arranged folds, and the person sitting behind the table had a book in his hand, and he was slightly hanging his head and frowning slightly.Immediately took the red pen and wrote something, then put the fold aside, and took another fold to open it and continue to read.This Zong Xu is simply charming in Wei Xi's opinion!
She suddenly couldn't bear to bother.Still Wuhuan quietly walked behind Zong Xu and reminded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the queen mother has come to see you." ”Zong Xu looked at the excerpt's movements for a moment, raised his eyes to look over, looked at Shang Weixi's eyes, stood up and walked around the table to greet him.Wei Xi also walked over with his feet raised, and only when he got close did he ask in a low voice, "Did I disturb you?"
”"No," Zong Xu took Wei Xi's hand and brought the person to the back of the imperial case as if no one was under the gaze of Wu Huan and the guards in the hall.The dragon chair is wide, more than enough for two people to sit side by side.Seeing that the queen was sitting naturally, Wuhuan moved her mouth and finally retreated silently."
Xiao Qi, food box."
Xiao Qi hurriedly brought the food box over and opened it.A strong aroma swept through the Fengyi Palace, and then swept through the imperial study.Wei Xi sniffed, picked up the bowl containing the medicinal food, reached out and brushed a piece of paperweight on the imperial case, and put the medicinal food on it, "It's still hot, drink it quickly." ”Wu Huan swallowed his saliva and watched as the piece of the emperor's priceless black jade paperweight was casually pulled aside, and his eyes were silently rounded."
Okay, I'll drink it."
Wuhuan swallowed the words that no one had tested the poison back into his stomach.But this will also be a little enlightened.All the principles of His Majesty do not apply in front of the Queen Mother!
While Zong Xu was drinking medicinal food, Wei Xi looked at the wide table in front of him.The most striking thing is the densely stacked folds.Just looking at it from a distance, you can see that there are really a lot of them, and now that they are closer, they look even more terrifying.Not to mention, you have to read it carefully and write your comments."
Your Majesty, are these all the twists and turns of today's day?""
And yesterday's."
Wei Xi: "It's too much, I can't even rest for the big wedding!""
Can I take a look?"
Seeing Wei Xi's curious look, Zong Xu stretched out his hand and pointed to one of the stacks, "Look at this stack." ”Wei Xi took a copy from the top, "Why are you looking at this stack?"
”"This stack is a congratulatory fold to celebrate our wedding."
Wei Xi: "This kind of thing can also be written and folded to listen to the sky, and I have gained knowledge!"
