The next day, I got up early in the morning.
There are still two days before the deadline given to me by the emperor, so I am not in a hurry.
The most important thing right now is the promise to the princess last night. I hope to do my best so that she can feel all my love for her.
I came to the imperial dining room, ready to make the flower cake she wanted to eat.
In the current solar terms, there are not so many types of flowers, so the colorful colors of the shells cannot be made.
You can only use some autumn chrysanthemum and sweet-scented osmanthus that are in season as fillings, and then deep-fry them in slow oil until they are golden in color.
The flower cake made by the same method, although the color and filling are not so rich, but the outside is crispy and the inside is soft, and the taste is still very good.
Looking at the freshly baked flower cakes, I suddenly remembered the lovely look of the princess eating flower cakes with crumbs on the corners of her mouth that day in the imperial garden.
It turns out we've known each other for so long...
I put the prepared flower cakes in a box, and I am about to go to the princess' bedroom.
But on the way back, he ran into Concubine Li Su Yueran.
At this time, she no longer had the brilliance of the past, and she was dressed in plain clothes.
He was being carried forward by two little maids, one on the left and the other on the right.
There was also a little eunuch walking in the front, who kept turning his head and urging them to hurry up.
It seemed that they were going somewhere, so I hurried forward to ask the little eunuch who was walking in front.
"My father-in-law, where are you taking Concubine Li?"
The little eunuch was a little upset when he saw someone blocking the way, but when he looked up and found that it was me, his displeasure immediately disappeared without a trace.
He immediately said to me with a smile on his face:
"It turned out to be Master Song. If you go back to Master Song, this is no longer Concubine Li. Now she is the abandoned concubine Su Yueran. No, this servant is taking her to Jingxin Garden under the order of the emperor."
Jingxinyuan is the place where the deposed concubine is placed under house arrest, which is also the cold palace that people in the palace often refer to.
"Why did the emperor let her go there? I hope my father-in-law can reveal more."
As I said that, I stepped forward and gave him some loose silver taels.
I saw that he wanted to welcome but refused, but he couldn't match my "hard offer", so he finally took Yinliang over.
Then he whispered to me and said:
"Oh, Mr. Song, you are too polite! I heard that it is because the emperor found out that she was secretly colluding with the traitor. Now that the traitor is dead, the emperor plans to execute her too. But somehow, the princess His Highness actually pleaded for her, and the Emperor then spared her the crime of death, and ordered her to be imprisoned. Sigh, she might not be able to get out for the rest of her life~"
I was stunned. So many things happened yesterday, all I could think about was the poison on the princess.
Then he completely forgot to ask her about how Su Yueran should deal with it.
In the final analysis, she is also a woman who values love and righteousness, but the mistake is that she gave her infatuation to the wrong person.
I have discussed with the princess, if the plan is successful, I hope the princess will be lenient and let her live.
Unexpectedly, seeing her again today would end like this.
"Eunuch, I wonder if you can accommodate me a little bit, I want to say a few words to her."
"I'm afraid this is against the rules, and the servant is also very embarrassed..."
After listening to me, the little eunuch suddenly showed embarrassment.
Oh, in fact, don't you just want to ask for some more money
"Eunuch, please accommodate me."
After that, I handed him another bank note with a larger denomination.
"Uh... well, it's just Mr. Song, you try to speak as fast as possible, I'm afraid that it's not good for someone to see it."
Seeing that he agreed, after thanking him, I walked behind him and asked Su Yueran:
"How are you?"
I saw her looking up at me slowly, not looking sad, but I saw a relieved and calm smile on her face.
Do you feel that all of this is your own fault
Then she spoke:
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern. All this is just a bitter fruit I brewed myself."
Seeing her like this now, I felt a little unbearable.
"No, you are right, it is Wei Qi who is wrong. You love the wrong person, he is not worthy of your love."
She smiled bitterly and said:
"There is no right or wrong between me and him. I never regret the person I loved in this life. Now I only have one thing to ask. I wonder if you can help me?"
"Go ahead."
Seeing that I agreed, she said calmly:
"Now I have no desires or desires. I just want to shave my hair and become a nun, and I will always be with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng all my life. I wonder if you can ask the princess to send someone to shave me, and give me some scriptures so that I can recite them every day in the meditation garden." Sutra, it can be regarded as... accumulating some merits for his next life."
I looked at the stupid woman in front of me, why is love in this world so complicated. Even if it is death, is it endless
I nodded, indicating that I agreed to her.
Then she smiled at me, as if she had returned to the youthful look when I first met her.
She saw her red lips parted and said "Thank you" slowly, and was taken away by them.
I looked at her back, everyone has their own destiny, maybe this is the best home for her now...
I only hope that if there is an afterlife, she can meet the man who truly belongs to her and can accompany her for the rest of her life.
When I returned to Yihua Palace with the flower cake, the princess had finished washing and was sitting in the bedroom waiting for me.
When she saw that I was back, she ordered all the maids around her to retreat.
"Princess, look what I brought you."
As I spoke, I opened the box containing the flower cakes, took out the contents and put them on the table.
"Flower Cake~"
When she saw the flower cake, she immediately became happy.
When I handed the chopsticks to her, she picked one up without hesitation and took a small bite.
I saw her chewing carefully with her eyes closed, and then showed a very satisfied look.
"Princess, because there are not as many flowers in spring now, so I can't make colorful flower cakes. I only have this ordinary one. I wonder if you are satisfied?"
After she swallowed the food in her mouth, she showed me a bright smile and said:
"It's delicious, as long as it's made by my Xiran, it's delicious."
"Okay, then I'll cook for you all my life, okay..."
When I said "a lifetime", I suddenly choked up, and then I fell into sadness, and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Seeing that I was thinking about something bad again, she quickly changed the subject and said:
"Xi Ran, we'll go to your master after breakfast, okay? Didn't we agree to see your mother?"
My mother died in self-defense, so I sent someone to the master's residence. It is relatively safer there, and I feel more at ease when she stays with the master.
But what is more obvious is that my mother really wants to be with the master, and I am considered the beauty of an adult.
After breakfast, I accompanied the princess out of the palace, preparing to go to the master's residence in the suburbs of Beijing.
When the princess came out of the palace, she was dressed in men's clothing, which was very coquettish and unrestrained. Passers-by on the road, regardless of gender, would turn their heads to look at her a few times.
I protect her tightly by my side, just like a child protects his favorite candy, for fear that if he is not careful, they will snatch her away.
She looked at me caring about her very much, and her eyes were full of joyful smiles.
Playfully patted my head and said:
"Xi Ran, why are you so cute?"
"I just don't want others to read more. You are mine."
The person I love is reluctant to even give others a second look.
I pouted and hired a carriage, and then went to the countryside with her.
It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the capital city, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, so you can just come out to relax.
When I arrived at the master, I introduced it to my mother and the master, the princess is a good friend of mine, and we happened to wander here, so we came to have a look.
My mother was very happy to see her, and kept pulling her and talking non-stop.
She also asked me if I had bullied others, and said that she would fix me well. The princess was also very happy and talked with my mother all the time.
Watching them chatting, I feel that I can't get in a word at all, I can only express my helplessness.
Not long after, it was time for lunch. The master cooks himself and cooked a large table of delicacies for us.
We sat around the table together, and my mother enthusiastically served dishes for the princess and asked me to take good care of her.
I pretended to be disappointed and said:
"Mom, why don't you want me now that he's here?"
In fact, I was very happy to see that the princess was liked by my mother as soon as she came.
My mother gave me a disgusted look and said:
"What's there to ask for? I wish I could exchange Zhen'er for you. Look at you, you're lazy and only cause trouble... and look at her being obedient and sensible..."
Did the princess manage the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law so well
I watched my mother start to expose my faults in front of the princess so blatantly, I was so scared that I quickly interrupted her.
"Stop, stop, you are really my mother. Come on, I'm afraid of you, can't afford to provoke you, can't I hide? I'll eat well, okay~"
After that, I buried it in the rice bowl and concentrated on eating.
The princess, my mother, and the master looked at me and laughed when they saw that I couldn't say it and hid.
That was the scene I had been waiting for for an unknown amount of time. The whole family was sitting at the dinner table happily and laughing happily.
No need to think about anything, only the person in front of you, how I wish time could stay at this moment forever~
After eating and clearing away the bowls and chopsticks, my mother said that she had something to tell me, and asked me to go to the study and wait for her.
I will let the princess wander around the master's garden first, and go to find her after speaking.
As soon as my front foot reached the study, my mother followed me in behind.
She closed the door and looked at me. After we all sat down, she said with a smile:
"Xi'er, Zhen'er is actually a woman. If my mother guessed correctly, then she must be a princess."
Seeing my mother being so straight to the point, I knew I couldn't hide anything from her eyes, so I stopped covering it up and confessed honestly.
"Mother guessed right, Zhen'er is the princess. I don't know what mother wanted to say when she came to me?"
I saw her put my hand on hers, then looked at me lovingly and said:
"The relationship between you and her is unusual. In fact, mother can tell from the moment she enters the door. The way you look at her is not ordinary. And when I was eating, I cared so much for her food, and mother was even more sure. gone."
I'm a little flustered right now, I don't know how to explain it to my mother.
My mother looked at me anxiously, patted my shoulder lightly and said:
"Xi'er, you are grown up and have your own thoughts. Mother knows how difficult it is to find someone who loves you and loves you. Now that there is someone who can treat you like this, as long as you live happily, mother will also love you." Will be happy for you."
When I heard my mother say this, I was surprised, delighted and moved, but my mother agreed? !
She actually accepted Zhen'er? ! I hugged my mother excitedly, and then said very happily:
"Mother... Thank you, mother!"
"Okay, let's find someone quickly, don't let him wait alone."
My mother looked at me so happy that she seemed to jump up, and she laughed from ear to ear.
Then he ran to find the princess very excitedly, and saw her wandering in the garden,
I walked over slowly and hugged her from behind. After all, I was with the master. Seeing how bold I was, she said in a panic:
"Xi Ran, you look like this, aren't you afraid that your mother and master will see it, let me go~"
I buried my head on the back of her neck, exhaled softly, and said to her:
"Don't move, I just want to hug you, if they see it, they will see it!"
Seeing me so happy, she smiled softly and said:
"What is it that makes you so happy that you get so carried away?"
I turned her around, looked her in the eyes seriously and said to her:
"Zhen'er, my mother agrees that we can be together."
Having the consent of our parents is an affirmation we all hope for.
She was also very happy to hear that, she gently wrapped her arms around my waist from the front, and rested her head on my shoulder.
"Xi Ran, let's go under that tree tonight, shall we?"
I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment of holding her in my arms.
"It's fine if you say yes, I just listen to you~"
