Chapter 260 Concubine Zhou's Worries

Concubine Zhou is the daughter of Zhou Ji. She has been educated and courteous since childhood, and she is humble. 【】Since the day when Queen Mother Ma entered the Longfu Palace, she has lowered herself and only waited in front of Queen Mother every day, as if she regarded herself as a servant... It is precisely because of this that Queen Mother Ma I miss her even more, so the emperor respects Concubine Zhou too... Last time Concubine Zhou's father took in his granddaughter, Empress Ma begged the emperor to give Zhou Yingying a favor no matter what.This is enough to show that Queen Mother Ma wants to take care of Concubine Zhou's kindness.

These are all previous words. Guo De led the emperor's will into the Longfu Palace, and the eunuchs around the Queen Mother led him into the main hall.

In the main hall, Empress Dowager Ma sat on the main seat, while Concubine Zhou stood on the side chatting with Empress Ma... After Guo De came in, he knelt down before the steps and said, "Xiao Guozi, please greet Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager."

"Get up!" Empress Dowager Ma raised her hand.

Guo De kowtowed, got up slowly, and said: "Today, the prince sent some food. The emperor thought it was delicious, so he asked the slave to bring some..." After saying that, he let the two follow him Little eunuch, pass on what you have eaten... After a while, fried fish nuggets were placed in front of the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother thought it was some novelty food, and took the emperor's heart to send it over.But it turned out to be pieces of fried fish that were fried until golden.

Can't help laughing, but said: "The emperor's filial piety, the lonely family knows. Go back and tell the emperor that there is nothing missing here in the lonely family, and there is everything you want to eat... The emperor is busy with government affairs, so there is no need to come in twice a day to say hello If you have time, take care of your body. He has to worry about everything in the world. If you want him to take care of you, how can you be busy? Where you should let your ministers do their best, let them give more attention to the state. To follow them is to share the country's worries."

Guo De hurriedly replied: "I would like to respect the Queen Mother's order, and I will tell the emperor when I return..."

The empress dowager nodded, "Well, is there anything else? If not, please kneel down..."

Guo De hurriedly fell down and said: "The slave will leave..."

After Guo De left, the Empress Dowager pointed at the fried fish pieces and smiled at Concubine Zhou: "Why did you send some fish pieces in, is this something delicious?"

Concubine Zhou smiled and said: "No matter how bad it is, it is the emperor's filial piety. However, it must be delicious, otherwise the emperor would not let Guo De go this way. It is golden and golden, which is a bit like what my father said in the letter Like golden nuggets..."

"Golden fish nuggets?" Empress Ma ordered the fried fish nuggets again, and couldn't help laughing: "Not to mention, it's golden and golden, but it looks a bit like it."

"I'm not sure, after all, I haven't seen it before! It's just that the old man mentioned in the letter that he is a new granddaughter who has good cooking skills. Especially fried fish nuggets and grilled fish are good. He also said that fried fish nuggets, now Everyone in Wuling knows that it’s delicious and healthy, much better than eating meat.”

Queen Ma smiled, pointed at the bottle and said, "I forgot to ask Guo De just now, what are these?"

Concubine Zhou removed the seal, poured some out, and said in surprise: "It turned out to be sauce... My father also said that fried fish nuggets in my hometown should be eaten with sauce, I'm afraid it's really golden fish nuggets Already! If it wasn't for such fish pieces, I'm afraid the emperor wouldn't be able to send them in..."

"Oh, do you want to eat this fish with sauce?"

"The Empress Dowager doesn't know! The sauce was secretly made by Zhou Yingying, my adoptive daughter who has never met, and is not sold outside. It is only eaten with fried fish pieces! My father mentioned this sauce in the letter , it is said that some are for anti-aging, some are for beauty, and some can also dispel wind, and the taste is very good... It is also said that there are three kinds of fried fish nuggets. The first one is to eat the original flavor, which is called plain and light. True; the second is to eat with only one kind of sauce, which is sometimes called Fuguihua; the third is to eat with three or more sauces, and the must-eat sauce is called gold. Armor, there is also a saying: All the people in the city wear golden armour. Because the fried fish nuggets are also served with sauce, so I thought, maybe these are golden fish nuggets?"

The queen mother smiled, "I'm afraid it's not such a coincidence, isn't it said that only Wuling has it? How come Jinling also has it?"

"They said they were going to Jinling to open a branch. The last letter arrived, and it's been a while. I don't know if it has opened..."

"Oh... Let's try eating a piece..." The queen mother was a little moved by Zhou Taifei's three meals.I didn't want to eat it, so I picked up a piece and ate it while talking.

After eating it, the queen mother could taste it.

"Well, try it too, it's really not an ordinary taste. I've never tasted this taste before, it's actually a bit special..."

Concubine Zhou thanked the Empress Dowager first, then tasted a piece, tasted it carefully, and said with a smile: "The emperor really has a heart, the taste of this fish piece is really unusual."

"Could it be your Princess Baozhu who opened his shop in Jinling?" The Queen Mother laughed, "If that's the case, then there is something to eat every day..."

Concubine Zhou also smiled, but in a blink of an eye, she stopped smiling and shook her head.

"What?" The change in Empress Dowager Ma's face to that of Concubine Zhou couldn't help asking... "Oh, it's nothing..."

The queen mother was even more puzzled, and the two of them never spoke.Then he laughed and said, "I've only treated you like a younger sister from the beginning! If you have something on your mind, just say it. The lonely family can still make some decisions for you..."

"It's really nothing, I'm just a little worried..."

"worry about what?"

"Father sent a letter saying that Yinger's child has been betrothed to the third son of the Su family in Wuling City. I heard that he is a great talent..."

"That's it? There's nothing to worry about, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the opening of the shop to Jinling..."

"What the Queen Mother doesn't know is that the Su family in Wuling is the hometown of Su Shilang who was arrested in the sky prison a few days ago. Su San is Su Shilang's younger brother. Now that something like this happened to the Su family, it is reasonable to say that Ying'er That kid, he doesn't have the intention to open the store to Jinling... Even the Su family is probably in danger now..."

Seeing that Concubine Zhou was thinking of this matter, the queen mother couldn't help being taken aback. This relationship of abducting and abducting has been brought up to the most important case of the dynasty.Can't help but sighed: "We women have no reason to worry about those things. And we can't worry about these things. Hey, I just hope that these things have nothing to do with Wuling, so let's be fine..."

Concubine Zhou also had no reason to think of these things. She had nothing to do in the palace every day, and she only thought about these things... She didn't hear much news in the palace. Only then did I know some of the situation outside.Because when I mentioned this, I turned a corner and thought of that, but I didn't want to ask for a favor.

In fact, there is nothing to ask for, after all, it is still a little far away from the Zhou family.She was just worried that it was a little inappropriate for the old man to encounter such a thing just after he met a granddaughter.

The Empress Dowager knows all about Concubine Zhou's worries.She has been with Concubine Zhou for so many years, and she also knows that Concubine Zhou is no longer involved in politics, and even she herself has never asked about these things.I put this matter aside in my heart, because I wanted to know whether Zhou Yingying opened a branch in Jinling for the fish nuggets?So he sent the eunuch to the Zhengde Hall to ask.

After Zhao Pu heard the reason, he was also curious, especially the theory of the three kinds of food, which showed that the fried fish nuggets were not simple.I thought to myself: If it was really the previous owner of Baozhu County, whom he personally appointed, who opened the shop in Jinling, it would be more convenient and safe to eat fried fish nuggets in the future... So he asked Guo De to go to the crown prince's womb to ask the crown prince, Asked exactly how the fried fish pieces came from... Guo De hurried out of Miyagi again, crossed the Ouchi Avenue, and came to the Imperial Palace!
