Chapter Thirty-six Mother-in-law holds revenge

Zhang Chuchen couldn't help laughing as he listened to the queen's series of questions, saying, "My sister is really concerned, but she is confused. Before talking about the child, you can guess who the child's father is?"

Hum? When the queen heard this, she was surprised. What was going on? Isn’t her father just a country scholar? Is there anything else? Thinking of this, she turned around and looked at her daughter.

Princess Changle Li Lizhi was also surprised and looked at Hongfu Nu in confusion.

Looking at the expressions of the mother and daughter, Zhang Chuchen remembered that there was something wrong with the question, and quickly explained to the princess: "I mean, your husband is not the nameless person you mentioned, and this person is not very different from what you describe. He is not really able to accomplish anything, but rather a rare talent.

And his name probably has reached His Majesty's ears long ago."

Ah???The princess was so scared that she was suddenly frightened.

On the contrary, the queen thought something and then asked her daughter: "I remember you said that boy runs an inn? Is there only one inn in Luoxia Town?"

The princess nodded: "That's right, that place is remote, there are no merchants, only one family."

"It seems that my sister has guessed it. Don't worry, little girl. Your father has heard of this person, but he doesn't know that he is your husband." Hong Funn explained.

The queen advised: "Do you still remember the steamed buns your father brought to you a few days ago? He said at that time that it was the invention of the shopkeeper of an inn in Luoxia Town. If there was only one inn, haha, who else could it be?

At that time, your father also rewarded the other party with one thousand taels of silver as encouragement. With this money, I think they are not short of money."

After hearing this, the princess suddenly realized, then shook her head and said, "No, no, my daughter, I have been with him for five years. I never knew he could make steamed buns. I have always been cooking..."

At the end of her voice, she didn't dare to continue talking anymore, because her mother, Empress Changsun, had already turned dark. She felt sorry for her daughter, and she actually ran outside to cook for others for five years. How much suffering will she suffer?

Of course she didn't scold her, and the queen was still reasonable. Since her daughter married a wife and was still a common family, she was a daily routine for her husband and children to farm and weaving, but as a mother, she still felt a little distressed.

Speaking of Du Shaoqing's cooking skills, Zhang Chuchen spoke up for him and said, "It's an old saying for a gentleman to stay away from the kitchen. It's the same everywhere. My sister doesn't have to worry too much. However, Changle is not at home, and he is both a father and a mother. If he doesn't cook, what will the child eat?

But it’s not to mention that the kid is really good at cooking. His cooking skills are simply indescribable. His cooking style is unique and has a great taste. In my opinion, the imperial chefs in the palace may not be as good as his skills."

I wanted to praise Du Shaoqing to make the two of them happy, but who knew that when he heard this, the queen turned darker, and snorted coldly and said a little annoyed: "Since he has such a good cooking skill, why do you still have to cook for five years?

What kind of gentleman is far away from the kitchen? He is really a poor and corrupt scholar and nerd. Can't he cook a meal for his wife in five years?

Beautiful, such a thin person is not a good match, so you should think twice.”

This! The princess was shocked and thought to herself what to do? The queen mother was dissatisfied with him. She clearly wanted to leave him by herself, but...

Zhang Chuchen was also a little surprised and thought to himself that he had done the wrong thing. He quickly comforted and explained, "Sister, don't be angry, that boy, I know that it feels good to spend a few days together. He is not a kind person, and he loves his daughter very much, so he wants to spoil your granddaughter. This kind of love for daughter is far beyond ordinary people. At least I have never seen my sister in the Tang Dynasty.

I remember he once said, "I should raise my daughter like a princess."

"Hmph, isn't you a ruthless person who knows how to live or die? He doesn't want to live or implicate my granddaughter." Empress Changsun became even more angry.

It's over, this situation can no longer be considered a misunderstanding. If Du Shaoqing knew that Zhang Chuchen praised him in front of his mother-in-law, but in the end he caused his mother-in-law to be so hostile, I wonder if he would be mocked. Is this Hongjie praising him or digging a hole to bury him?

"My mother, please be kind to you and don't bother with him. I remember a few days ago when my father said he would summon him to the Imperial College to study. If he could do it, he would study..." The princess knelt down and cried and bowed.

Zhang Chuchen stepped forward and pulled it up, apologized to the queen, "Look, I've talked too much at this moment and made a misunderstanding. Sister, don't get angry. In fact, that boy is really treating this girl. I have investigated. The girl Changle left without saying goodbye this time. The boy was so sad that he locked himself in the room for three days without food and drink. Xiao Xuanxuan told me that he even hit the wall with his head, and big bags grew on his forehead.

This is the child's original words, but the fact seems that it is not as simple as hitting a wall. It is seeking death. It is all for your daughter."

"I'm really useless to commit suicide for a woman. Is he alone without a home or a job?"

Well, the queen seemed to be preparing to go all the way. Zhang Chuchen obscured a stick of incense for Du Shaoqing in his heart, and thought to himself that I had done my best, and you, the mother-in-law, is really not easy to fool.

The princess next to her was frightened by the news. When she thought of the deep relationship between the couple for five years, she couldn't help but burst into tears and felt guilty.

Seeing his daughter like this, the queen's heart softened and stopped holding on to her. She changed her words: "When the boy comes to Chang'an, then settle the score with him."

Before the princess could turn sadness into joy, Zhang Chuchen next to him said, "I'm afraid he can't come anymore. I was not present at the Imperial College Invigilator's assessment, but I heard that the chief clerk who was assessing left angrily, and Xiaozi Du admitted that he didn't succeed."

...

The queen was angry in her heart, and the princess was covered with rain. Zhang Chuchen felt a little regretful when she looked at the two of them, thinking that she was reckless.

He quickly interrupted: "Look at me, I'm just talking about that boy. Let's talk about some happiness and talk about Xiao Xuanxuan. You don't know, this child is so cute that people like it. She sticks to me every day, and calls me sister..."

With a squeak, the queen's anger disappeared and she couldn't help laughing. Her granddaughter called her old sister an older sister? This scene was simply too funny.

Then Zhang Chuchen told the various funny stories of the little girl Du Xuanxuan little by little, not for anything else, but just to make the seriously ill queen smile. However, this statement took a long time. Emperor Li Er finished his government affairs and walked towards the harem Lizheng Hall.

"What? Sister, you actually accepted her as a closed disciple? Is this appropriate?"
