Beauty is too weak to be bullied

Chapter 380 But also... pitiful
Du Qingtan happily made a stewed quail with wolfberry and red dates, and then personally watched over a pot of autumn pear paste.

After it was done, Cheng Shangshi came and said with a smile: "It's cold, and the saint is prone to hunger and cold, so it's just time to serve this hot food. You follow along. The saint asked you in the morning."

Du Qingtan immediately washed his hands and took off his apron: "If I have time, I want to change clothes..."

Cheng Shangshi knew what she was worried about, and smiled gently: "It's tasteless, it's good. Even if there is a little smell of oily smoke, it just proves that you did it yourself."

It still means to show your loyalty to the saint.

Jiang is old and spicy, Cheng Shangshi never stopped Du Qingtan from changing clothes before, but today she said so, she agreed after a little thought.

Walking outside the hall, Du Qingtan saw many people coming in and out, their expressions were ugly, and the servants also looked nervous, so they looked at Cheng Shangshi.

"Mother-in-law, I seem to have something to do, why don't you come back at another time?"

Cheng Shangshi shook his head: "Hundred officials handle government affairs, and we handle palace affairs. What we have to do is to serve meals at the appointed time.

If a sage does not eat, that is the business of the sage; if we do not serve, it means that we have neglected our duty.It's okay, come with me. "

Cheng Shangshi climbed up the steps steadily and let people pass them inside.

The queen's angry voice sounded: "What to eat! Do I only remember to eat and drink in their eyes?"

But then, she changed her mind again: "Du Qingtan still dares to come? Tell her to come in! I want to ask her what her intentions are!"

Du Qingtan frowned, and looked at Cheng Shangshi again.

Cheng Shangshi handed her the vermilion lacquer tray to hold it, and said in a deep voice, "Don't hide, don't cover up, don't brag, don't take trouble, don't be afraid of trouble."

Besides, nothing was said.

Du Qingtan doubted that Cheng Shangshi knew what happened here long ago, but deliberately kept her secret and brought her here.

Alright, at this point, there is no way out anyway.

She lowered her head and walked in steadily carrying the vermilion lacquer tray, but just as she approached the empress, something whizzed and flew towards her.

Du Qingtan pretended to be frightened, tilted his body, half-kneeled on the ground, and exerted all his strength to stabilize the tray, but did not spill a drop of soup.

The thing flew over her scalp, tilted the head, and then fell to the ground with a loud "pop", which sounded like a heavy object.

She didn't dare to look back, so she just put it there and lowered her head solemnly and said: "I have committed a crime, and I will provoke the anger of the saint when I meet you."

The queen sneered, pointed at her and said: "You are guilty, drag it down and die!"

Du Qingtan still kept his eyes half down, walking slowly.

"The sages have said that the state owns the state laws, and the family has family rules. The humble official is a sixth-rank official appointed by you. Even if you want to be killed, there should be corresponding charges and regulations.

I am bold enough to ask the sage to make it clear and announce my crimes to the world, so that the world will be vigilant and dare not follow suit! "

The empress laughed angrily at her: "What a glib girl! Aren't you afraid of losing your head and hurting the Yan family?"

Du Qingtan sighed: "It's because of fear that I have the courage to beg the sage to point out the crime of the humble minister."

The queen said: "Jin Shouzhen, tell her!"

Jin Shouzhen looked constipated.

Du Qingtan knew that it must have something to do with the Zhang brothers' mess, otherwise the empress wouldn't be so secretive.

Then, Jin Shouzhen squeezed her throat and scolded: "Good Du Wuniang! Pretend to be innocent in front of the saint, and instigate Meng Pingping to beat Dengwen drum behind the saint's back, and frame Wulang Liulang..."

Du Qingtan was really confused this time: "Ping Niang? Did she go to beat Dengwen Drum? When did it happen?"

Jin Shouzhen was already facing her, and immediately gave her a chance to defend herself: "You don't know?"

Du Qingtan smiled wryly: "I'm wronged, Meng Pingping climbed onto the roof of the gate of the Imperial Medical Office yesterday, intending to commit suicide by taking poison to prove her innocence.

Weichen coaxed her off the roof and took her to live in Shangshanfang temporarily.Afraid that she would be overwhelmed, he stayed with her until this morning when she was on duty in the palace before leaving.

I have never heard of her doing this before... I don't know who said this to the saint, but I am willing to confront him. "

In fact, she already guessed that the Zhang brothers must have caused trouble.

After delaying this time, the Queen's anger was no longer as vigorous as before, and she refused to ask anyone to confront her, she only said: "You really didn't instigate it?"

Du Qingtan smiled wryly: "The humble minister has just received the sage's favor, and he is not yet hot, so how could he be willing.

Moreover, this matter was entrusted to King Langya by the sage, and I have never met King Langya, so I know nothing about the case. "

The queen fell silent, and only slightly lifted her finger towards her.

Du Qingtan understood that this was asking her to serve the food, but she deliberately pretended to be frightened, she was dumbfounded and did not move.

Jin Shouzhen hates iron but not steel: "Don't you hurry up and present the imperial meal?"

"Yes." Du Qingtan then offered stewed quail with wolfberries and red dates: "This food nourishes the liver and kidneys, nourishes qi and blood, and winter food can help warm the body."

The queen smelled the smoke and fire on her body, drooped her eyelids and said, "You did it?"

Du Qingtan said meekly: "This is the filial piety that my humble official bestows on the saint, so of course I have to do it myself."

"Hmph, you guys are always doing one thing in front of your face and another in your back. You are so filial. After half a day, you only made this one meal?"

The queen drank the soup with a silver spoon, being mean, but also... pitiful.

The kind of loneliness and pathos that no one loves.

Du Qingtan could clearly feel her loneliness and pity, and also understood the ferocity and viciousness of her throwing things at him and shouting sticks to kill her, so she became more calm and steady.

"Of course it's more than that. I know that you suffer from heat and cough every winter, so I boiled a pot of autumn pear ointment for you to reduce fire, nourish yin and moisten lungs, so that you can use it in case of illness."

The queen looked at her gloomyly and said, "You really cared. It's been so long in winter that you just remembered to make this. Qiu Li Gao, shouldn't you make it in autumn?"

In short, it just keeps making things difficult.

Du Qingtan calmly said, "Although I have an idea, the recipe is not ready-made. I tried many times before I dared to send it to the imperial court."

The queen didn't make a sound, and finished the quail soup slowly, probably because the delicious food can adjust her mood, her attitude became better: "Go on."

"Ang?" Du Qingtan didn't understand, why did he just pass by?

It was rare for her to say "ang?" The empress smiled and waved her hand: "It's none of your business."

Du Qingtan didn't dare to stay for long, packed up the trays and chopsticks, and left quickly.

Cheng Shangshi was waiting for her outside, feeling relieved, but he motioned her not to speak, and asked her to look not far away.

Dugu Buqiu, Li Dai, and an official she didn't know stood there, waiting to be summoned.

Du Qingtan cast his eyes over, Dugu Buqiu and Li Dai raised their eyes at the same time, looking at her without any scruples, it can be said that their eyes were burning.

　It's finally finished. When I was doing homework for my baby, I made heroic sacrifices several times~ Good night, babies
