Chapter 468: Witness (1)
But now, Dong Xiuyi is a bit dull, but the porridge he makes is good. The lotus seed porridge is refreshing and delicious. The emperor also asked her to make it. After this, Dong Xiuyi became a woman close to the emperor.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Take it."
Eunuch Li instructed the little eunuch outside to bring in the lotus seed porridge that Dong Xiuyi had put down.
At the same time, in the deep corridor of the palace, a woman in brocade clothes was always walking alone, and the eunuchs and palace maids around her respectfully greeted her. Dong Xiuyi looked unpopular at the beginning and bullied her a lot. Who knew that she could get close to the emperor now, so Feng Shui took turns, and now it was the turn of this palace maid who gave others a color to see her was trembling. However, the woman in gorgeous clothes seemed to have not seen her at all, and her eyes were a little deep.
After returning to the courtyard of the side hall, Dong Ying'er ordered the eunuchs and palace maids to go down. She sat down in front of the dressing mirror and took out a wooden box from under the wooden cabinet. There was a fresh lotus pod in the box, but there were some things like honey on it. The emperor has a light appetite recently and cannot eat too much taste. The lotus seeds are clear and the fire is bitter, but many people in the world cannot bear the bitterness of the star point, especially the food of the Nine Five Lords. It is necessary to say that the lotus seed heart is marinated with honey, and the bitterness there is, and the porridge cooked is sweeter.
Yes... Dong Ying'er reached out to take off a sachet on her waist and took out some white powder from it. The powder also had a strange fragrance. As soon as it was sprinkled onto the lotus pod, it was flooded with fresh honey, which only smelled even more fragrant. The little eunuch seemed to be smiling and pleasing to her: "Empress Xiuyi's lotus seed porridge is very good. Your Majesty can't live without you every day. This craft can be considered as comparing the chefs in the imperial kitchen. I see that in the future, Your Majesty will only get closer to the empress every day, and I can't live without you."
Dong Ying'er put away the sachet and her eyes fell on the lotus pod that seemed to be the same as something else. A smile slowly spread on her lips. However, the smile was a little stiff, as if someone was pulling her skin out, and it looked a little strange.
The emperor naturally could not live without her. Not only could he not live without her, but he would even rely more and more on her. Or it was not her who relied on, but the lotus seed porridge she made. Things that could make people addicted will not be noticed by people, and even the most wise imperial physician could not see them. They would only think that the emperor loved the porridge she made. In order not to arouse people's suspicion, she naturally would not make porridge every day. In fact, everything was the same, as long as it could make the emperor addicted.
She slowly grabbed her skirt and remembered what the man in the palace said to her earlier: The General's Mansion intended to hire Miss Zhao as his wife for the Jiang family, and now he is discussing the matter of changing Geng Tie. Jiang Xinzhi, the Jiang family's uncle, and Zhao Jin, the Zhao family's uncle, suddenly closed his eyes and took a deep breath, but finally couldn't bear it. He brushed all the things in front of him to the ground. The palace maid waiting outside was startled and suddenly came in and said, "Empress!"
"Get out!" Dong Ying'er shouted angrily, and the people outside suddenly fell silent and dared not move. She looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.
Why are there people in this world so lucky? With the same origin, they are not as good as others, but they are thrown into this deep palace and gradually withered. Why? Since that's the case, it's better to go to hell together. In the end, it's not that lonely.
A certain courtyard in Jiangnan has the embroidered black walls and white tiles, and the style is very exquisite. You can tell the wealthy family that is well-off at a glance. At this moment, the servant outside the door hurried in and shouted: "Madam, Madam!"
The woman sitting in the main hall was kind and kind. She was in her forties and looked dignified and virtuous. Although she was old, she could tell that she must have been a beauty when she was young. She wore a group of honey-colored silk satin jackets and cursed with a smile: "I run so urgently, I can't let you go. Tell me slowly."
The servant smiled embarrassedly, took out a letter from his arms and said, "Madam, the young master is here!"
"Is Erlang's letter?" The woman stood up as soon as she heard this, and immediately showed an unstoppable surprise on her face, saying, "Let me see it."
The servant hurriedly presented it with both hands. The woman took the letter and opened it impatiently and started reading. She looked at it very quickly. After reading it in a few seconds, she immediately felt a little angry and smiled. The maids and mothers around her were a little curious when they saw her application and said, "Madam, how about the second young master?"
"This child," the woman stroked her heart and said, "I never replied to my letter all year round. I really didn't take my mother seriously. I made a decision on such a big thing. I only replied to me and said, but it was really..."
The old lady who served her tea at the front was even more confused when she heard this, and said in confusion: "What is the matter that the lady said? But the second young master was promoted?" Since it was said that it was a big event, his wife did not show any sad expression on her face, so she should have been promoted. Thinking of this, the old lady also smiled: "That's true, that's a great joy, and she should be celebrated."
"It's a happy event, but not a promotion." The woman also smiled: "It's Erlang who asked the prince to make the decision to make a marriage, and I won't say anything back."
"This...this..." the old lady asked, "I wonder which lady is from?"
"It's the first-class maid next to the princess." The woman smiled.
"Maid? I haven't gotten rid of my slave yet. I'm afraid..." The woman carefully looked at the woman's face.
The woman smiled again when she saw her like this and said, "I know what you are thinking. I feel that my Erlang is wronged. However, since the prince has been kind to our family, if it weren't for the prince, we would have lived like this now, and it would have been a piece of loess. Our family is not an official family, but a businessman. Although the girl's status is not high, she is not considered a bad family."
"Madam," the woman was still a little unwilling: "Although we are not an official family, we are also a big family in Jiangnan. As the second young master, there is no serious lady, but she is a bit... "
The woman looked at her slowly. The woman knew that she had said something wrong and immediately became a little uneasy. She sighed and said, "What do you think Erlang is? Erlang is willing to work with the prince. For so many years, he has very few letters all year round, and he is afraid that he will do it dangerously. Such danger is that the spoiled lady is willing to marry him. In this marriage, Erlang personally asked the prince to do it.
