The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 466

In order to entertain the distinguished guests from the palace, Qiyun Temple also invited several innocent and honest women from the surrounding villages to help.

Although the empress dowager brought a lot of maids with her on this trip, there are differences between men and women, so there are still a few women in the temple to help.

A monk walked around the kitchen and found one more person when counting the number of people, so he found out the strange one.

"Where are you from?"

Lin Su lowered her head, "I followed my husband to deliver the food. This is my aunt I know. I'm here to talk to my aunt."

The monk nodded, and said: "Leave as soon as you finish speaking."

Lin Su promised: "Don't worry, I will leave after my husband brings all the vegetables in."

The monk left with confidence.

After he left, the woman whom Lin Su called his aunt asked in a low voice, "Is what you said true? That kid from my family played truant again?"

"Yes, when I came out, I saw him fishing in the pond at the foot of the mountain. The water in the pond is not shallow. I heard that two people drowned in that pond last year." Lin Su said familiarly.

The woman in front of her lived next door to her family, and Lin Su entrusted her to cook three meals a day for her because of her outstanding culinary skills. By the way, she found out about her family background.

This woman is good at everything, but she treats her youngest son like an eyeball and spoils her so much.

Sure enough, after Lin Su finished speaking, deep worry appeared on the woman's face.

If something happens to her baby bump, she won't live anymore.

She quickly untied the apron around her waist, and said anxiously: "I'll go back with you, you guys give me a lift!"

Lin Su held the woman down and persuaded, "But if you leave your work here and walk away, will they blame you?"

The woman's face was ugly, she knew that if something went wrong with the royal guest who was going to entertain today, maybe she would be held accountable.

But there is her son, how can she choose?

The woman's expression was tangled, but she couldn't make up her mind.

Lin Su took the apron from the woman's hand, "Well, I'll help you with the work here, so go and see your son."

The woman was both surprised and delighted. If her shortcomings were replaced by others, she would not be blamed afterwards.

But she asked hesitantly: "You haven't confinement yet, can you bear it?"

Lin Su gently pushed her to go out, "Don't worry, Auntie, I'm still young, how could I not be able to take it anymore? Go quickly, tell Brother Zhu for me, don't wait for me."

"OK then."

Mu Qingyu and Princess Changle sat opposite each other, each copying the scriptures. The two were so absorbed that they didn't even notice that the Queen Mother woke up.

The empress dowager also specifically signaled the servants in the room to keep silent, and she quietly walked to the two of them.

Changle, who was always lively and active, was rarely so calm. The queen mother was very pleased, and gave Mu Qingyu an appreciative look.

When she locked Mu Qingyu in her palace, she knew that this delicate young lady was not a simple one.

That night Mu Qingyu desperately got Yuxi into the hands of the King of Jin, and the queen mother even gave Mu Qingyu a high look.

Now that the Empress Dowager and the General's Mansion have no conflict of interest, she can safely and boldly express her love and appreciation for Mu Qingyu.

Mu Qingyu and Chang Le copied the scriptures almost at the same time, and put their pens on the pen stand together.

As soon as he raised his eyes and saw the empress dowager right in front of him, Mu Qingyu was startled, and hurriedly knelt towards the empress dowager.

The queen mother smiled and sat down at the table, and let Mu Qingyu sit down again.

"Let someone bring the lunch, and let's have a taste of the outside flavor." The Empress Dowager ordered.

Princess Changle clapped her palms and smiled, "Okay, I've been fed up with the food from the imperial dining room all day long."

Mu Qingyu jokingly said: "If the princess's words are heard by the cooks in the imperial dining room, they will definitely sigh with regret."

Mu Qingyu and Princess Changle laughed and played around for a while, and the maids came in with lunch.

So the two stopped talking and had lunch with the empress dowager.

There were many court ladies waiting outside the wing room, Lin Su looked around at the gate of the courtyard, and immediately a court lady came over to ask questions.

"What are you doing there?" the maid asked.

Lin Su lowered her head and said cautiously, "I just want to see if the dishes we cook suit the nobleman's taste."

Most of the lunch used by the empress dowager came from the cooks in the temple, and a small part was baked by the peasant women hired by the temple, in order to let the empress dowager have a taste of the authentic rural flavor.

The maid glanced at her, thinking she saw her intentions, and said coldly: "You just want to reward money, don't worry, you will be indispensable."

Lin Su pretended to be grateful, "Thank you, sister!"

After speaking, she left quickly.

After lunch, the empress dowager was going to talk to the abbot, so that Chang Le and Mu Qingyu could take a nap.

Chang Le refused to sleep, and insisted on leaving with the empress dowager.

Mo Zhu asked: "Ma'am, do you want to rest here?"

Mu Qingyu glanced at the bed where the empress dowager slept, and said, "Go to a master and ask if there is any vacant wing."

Mo Zhu came back after going out for a while, and she asked if there was a vacant room next door, so she led Mu Qingyu there.

Although it is next door, there is still a long way to go outside the wing room prepared for the empress dowager.

As we walked, fewer and fewer maids served, and when we arrived at this wing room, it was even more deserted and there was no maid guarding it.

Mu Qingyu only brought Mo Zhu a maid with him on this trip, Mo Zhu frowned and said, "Madam, it's too quiet here, why don't we go back."

Hearing this, Mu Qingyu looked around for a week, but there was no one around, it was indeed too quiet.

"Let's just go in and sit for a while, it's okay." Mu Qingyu walked into the wing room first, and Mo Zhu had no choice but to follow.

Fortunately, the wing room was tidy and tidy, Mo Zhu touched the table and chairs, there was not a trace of dust on them.

Mu Qingyu had already sat down, looked out of the window quietly, and said with emotion: "Could it be that there is such a quiet time, but it can make people think about things quietly."

There is only a gap in the window, and it cannot be seen from the outside that the window is open, but from the inside of the house, one can clearly see the outside through the window.

When Mu Qingyu was looking at the greenery outside in a daze, he didn't want to be disturbed by a sneaky figure not far away.

Mu Qingyu looked intently, but the figure disappeared again, as if it was just her illusion.

Mu Qingyu's expression was solemn, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

"Ma'am, what's the matter?" Mo Zhu asked.

Mu Qingyu shook his head, "It's nothing."

She thought of the guards guarding the gate of the temple, not a single fly could fly in, so how could someone with a malicious intention sneak in?
It must be her hallucination.
