Houfu poisonous girl can't be bullied

Chapter 265 Where is King Jinling, Are You Afraid?

The ones that Murong Jing specially brought into the palace couldn't really be just soybean milk fritters. The Empress Dowager looked at the round things wrapped in reed leaves in the oil paper bag, and she couldn't help being curious: "What kind of fun is this?"

"The queen mother is still the most discerning."

Murong Jing laughed and said: "This is the youth ball that Weichen specially asked the chef of Fuxi Tower to make. Would you like to try it?"

The nurse next to her immediately took a green ball and handed it to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager peeled off the outer layer of reed leaves suspiciously and took a sip. She immediately smiled and said, "It tastes sour and sweet, and the taste is sticky and glutinous. It's really good."

"It's quite common in Jinling, but it's much rarer in the imperial city. After inquiring for a long time, I found out that the chef at Fuxi Building is a master at making this. If the Empress Dowager likes it, I will bring some more someday. .”

"You have a heart."

The queen mother smiled and looked at Chu Lingyao who was immersed in eating happily, her face was full of understanding: "I'm afraid it's because of Ling Yue's blessing that the old lady can taste this rare thing today?"

At this moment, Chu Lingyao was eating the green balls, his face was full of happiness, and it was rare that he didn't reply when he was teased by the queen mother. Murong Jing saw the little woman beside her as satisfied as a cat that had been basking in the sun enough. He went down without making a joke in front of the queen mother.

"The Emperor is here—"

The sound of announcements from outside the palace came in from afar, and the next moment Li Fengyi stepped into the main hall of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, Murong Jing and Chu Lingyao hurriedly stood up and saluted: "I see the emperor."

"Exemption."

Suddenly seeing Murong Jing there, Li Fengyi was obviously quite surprised, but he still respectfully saluted the Queen Mother before asking: "Why is Xiao Jingcheng Hou here?"

In front of Li Fengyi, Murong Jing was obviously much more disciplined. After receiving the order, he sat down far away, bowed and said, "Ling Yao has been favored by the Empress Dowager to live in the Compassionate Ning Palace these days, so I have come to take care of him."

"What favor, I think you don't want my favor."

The queen mother joked: "This little Jingchenghou has come to accompany Ling Yao every day, not to mention, he even came to ask me for an order yesterday to save the notification. It won't be early in the morning and he will be waiting outside. I have seen loving ones, but I've never seen such a loving relationship between these two."

"Indeed." Li Fengyi couldn't help laughing at the Empress Dowager's half-complaining and half-comforting tone, and smiled at Murong Jing: "You really care about Ling Yao, and coming to the Palace of Compassion and Peace is really more positive than going to court."

"I dare not."

Li Fengyi smiled, and turned his eyes to the oiled paper bag on the table: "What is this?"

Before Murong Jing could speak, the Empress Dowager jokingly said, "The breakfast that Marquis Xiao Jing Cheng brought in from outside is said to be a rare food that Ling Yao might not get used to eating in the palace."

"Oh? Is there something that doesn't exist in the palace?"

Turning Li Fengyi's gaze to this side, Murong Jing hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, this youth group is a unique food in the Jinling area of ​​the south of the Yangtze River. It is indeed rare in the imperial city. When Ling Yao mentioned it a few days ago, I went to look for it. "

"It's really affectionate." Li Fengyi smiled and looked down at the couple: "I haven't had breakfast yet, so why not use it here." "

The Empress Dowager also laughed and said: "The taste of this youth group is not bad, and it will let you, who is bored in the palace every day, taste the flavor of Jiangnan."

"Fortunately, I brought a lot this time, otherwise I would have neglected the emperor." Murong Jing said as she got up, and then pointed to the outside with a smile, "There are some novelties outside the palace. Let's bring it in together."

The Queen Mother nodded: "That's right, Zhixi, go and bring Xiaojing Chenghou's people in."

"Yes."

Zhixi retreated in response, Murong Jing raised his head and looked at Li Fengyi, the latter nodded slightly, and then said: "Mother, we don't need these people to serve us when we eat, should we all withdraw?"

Although she didn't know why Li Fengyi said this, the Queen Mother still nodded: "Yes, you all go down."

Soon there were only four of them left in the hall, and Zhixi took Bai Zhi into the hall to put things away, and then led them out tactfully, but was stopped by Murong Jing: "This mother, this little fellow is my special follower of blessing. There are a few dishes brought by Xilou that are still useful, look, Your Majesty..."

"Then just stay and serve." Li Fengyi smiled: "Xiao Jingchenghou is very particular about having a meal in the palace, it can be compared to my palace."

"The emperor is laughing."

Murong Jing really found a few rare dishes, and after several people finished their meals, Li Fengyi said again: "I didn't know that Marquis Xiao Jingcheng was so fond of Jiangnan dishes—especially Jinling dishes."

"The emperor's eyes." As if he didn't hear the vigilance in Li Fengyi's tone, Murong Jing said: "I wonder if these dishes suit the emperor's taste?"

"I don't go to Jinling often, so I don't know that these vegetable fields are not authentic. If it is the King of Jinling..."

But before Li Fengyi could finish his probing words, the Queen Mother interrupted impatiently: "Why are you talking about the King of Jinling again?"

Li Fengyi's expression was stagnant, and soon he put on a smile again: "I haven't seen the King of Jinling for a long time, and these few dishes of Marquis Xiao Jingcheng make me have to think of my old friend."

Having said this, Li Fengyi's eyes turned to Murong Jing again: "Young Master loves Jinling food so much, but have you ever been to Jinling?"

"The minister has never been there."

Before Murong Jing finished speaking, Li Fengyi had already chased after him with the next question: "Then have you seen the King of Jinling?"

"The minister then went to the battlefield, and when he returned to court, he heard that King Jinling was seriously ill, so he never saw him."

Murong Jing spoke neither humble nor overbearing: "But when it comes to King Jinling, I have something to say."

"Oh?"

Li Feng raised his eyebrows, and he said that Murong Jing's behavior was a bit weird today, so he was waiting for him here.

In fact, it's not that Murong Jing insisted on making such a big circle, it's just that Xiang'er's life experience is full of doubts. If he just rashly said that King Jinling appeared in the capital, Li Fengyi would inevitably doubt it.

After all, he is a military marquis who has recently received a feudal title, and it is reasonable to say that he is not aware of the chaos in the capital in the early years. Even if he really noticed King Jinling's entry into the city, he shouldn't be so concerned.

So he could only pretend to say the news "inadvertently". As for what Li Fengyi thinks, that's not what he should care about.

Following Li Fengyi's question, the atmosphere in the Palace of Compassionate Ning calmed down instantly, and it took him a long time to hear his voice break the silence: "Say."

Rao even Murong Jing sweated secretly, and now he got permission and said: "The minister went to Fuxi Tower a few days ago to ask for the cook from Jinling, but the shopkeeper said that the cook was invited by a nobleman. So, I was a little surprised, so I sent someone to check."

People in the imperial city tend to have heavy tastes, while Jinling's dishes are rather light. It's good to taste fresh ones, but no one will eat them for a long time.What's more, this person was able to hire the chef of Fuxi Tower, he must have paid for it, and it is reasonable for Murong Jing to feel strange.

Li Fengyi nodded, signaling Murong Jing to continue.

"The people sent by the minister only followed to a courtyard in the city, and copied a portrait. My father confirmed it yesterday, but the person in the portrait looks like the King of Jinling who can't complain of illness."

"what?"

Li Fengyi slammed the table and stood up, his face was ugly: "Are you sure?"

"I have never met the King of Jinling, but my father has made it clear that I dare not lie."

After Murong Jing finished speaking respectfully, she looked at Bai Zhi: "Do you have the portrait?"

Bai Zhi nodded, took out a scroll from the bottom of the food box and handed it to Murong Jing, who then handed it to Li Fengyi: "This is the portrait of that person."

The scroll was only half opened, and Li Fengyi's complexion became extremely ugly. He handed the scroll to the Empress Dowager, and said after a while: "What is he trying to do again!"

Although the Empress Dowager's expression was not good-looking, she was not as bad as Li Fengyi, and said: "Soldiers come to cover up the water and soil, do you really expect him to stay in Jinling for a lifetime?"

Having said that, perhaps the memories left by King Jinling were not very good. This time Li Fengyi subconsciously went to see the Queen Mother: "Mother Queen..."

The queen mother raised her hand to stop Li Fengyi's next words, and said: "The emperor has governed the country and the army all these years. No matter how powerful he is, the King of Jinling has been depressed for more than 20 years. Are you still afraid of him as a dignified monarch?"

Even if Li Fengyi didn't want to admit it, most of the punishing King Jinling back then relied on the Queen Mother's power, but this time the Queen Mother obviously didn't want to intervene, so he had no choice but to take the scroll and leave.

And Murong Jing who reported this matter naturally couldn't escape, because Li Fengyi's face was too ugly, Lord Jingcheng could only suppress his reluctance and followed him to the imperial study.

He came early in the morning obviously because he wanted to spend a little longer with his wife!Why can King Jinling die a little further away? Hey!

Chen Lingyao watched helplessly as his husband's figure disappeared outside the palace, and finally he couldn't help sighing slightly. The Queen Mother smiled and said, "It's just a few hours apart, I think it will make you worry."

Chu Lingyao sighed: "Recently, there is not much peace inside and outside the palace, and I don't know when these things will pass."

"Yeah, there are always some people who are unwilling to be peaceful."

"By the way, Empress Dowager, what is the origin of this King of Jinling? I think the emperor seems to be quite afraid."

The queen mother shook her head slightly: "It's all in the past, Aijia didn't expect him to come out again."

Chu Lingyao was just beside him with great curiosity, and now he naturally wanted to ask clearly, but before she could start to tease her, Zhixi led Bai Aoshuang in.

"Cao Min pays respects to the Empress Dowager."

Ever since it was found out that the Queen Mother had taken Qixia Pill that day, Bai Aoshuang has been paying attention to the Queen Mother's situation, and after briefly asking Ann, he helped the Queen Mother feel her pulse. .

It was so easy for Bai Aoshuang to finish his pulse. Seeing the other person's frown, Chu Lingyao felt a "thump" in his heart, and his tone became urgent: "How is it?"

The medicinal properties of Qixia Pill have not disappeared, and the Queen Mother's health is getting worse and worse. With Bai Aoshuang's expression at this moment, Chu Lingyao is naturally extremely nervous.
