The Empress Wants To Be Deposed!

Chapter 7: The royal meal is installed again!

Views:

Song Jinning met Li Chengxuan's surprised gaze, and subconsciously sat up straight.

But then she thought, it's fine to pretend to be a lady in front of the Empress Dowager Song, but why should she pretend to be in front of Li Chengxuan.

The left and right person already hated her very much in her heart, and she really didn't need to please this person, so she could do whatever she felt comfortable in front of him.

It's better to let Li Chengxuan feel that she has misbehaved, and it would be better to issue the decree as soon as possible.

As a result, the back that had just straightened immediately went limp again. Even the crooked body is even worse than before.

Li Chengxuan was really surprised when he saw her sitting posture by chance.

Surprise followed by a frown.

Although Song Jinning was born in a noble family, he didn't have any etiquette that a nobleman should have. She was very arrogant and domineering when she was a child, and she behaved rudely, but she was definitely not a lady.

Goodbye this time, he looked at her coldly a few times, and felt that her temper seemed to have changed a lot since she was a child.

When I came here with her to greet the Empress Dowager Song, I thought she had really changed when I saw her words and demeanor were generous and docile.

I don't want to pretend it's all there! As soon as the Empress Dowager Song left, she immediately revealed her true colors.

Li Chengxuan looked away in disgust.

It seemed as if looking at her one more time would dirty his own eyes.

Song Jinning could clearly see the disgust in his eyes, but instead of being annoyed, she was still happy in her heart.

She thought of the novel "Sister-in-law is the Empress". At the beginning of the novel, Li Chengxuan seemed to have passed his weak years.

She still remembered the description of Li Chengxuan several times in the book. It's nothing more than indifference, domineering, paranoid, strong, etc., which should be the necessary temperament of a hero in a novel.

But maybe now Li Chengxuan is only eighteen years old, and he has not yet become the future emperor with a paralyzed face, so occasionally he can still see what he is thinking from his face and eyes.

But what did it matter to her? She was just a passer-by in this man's life. After two or three years, she will wave her sleeves to avoid people, and then never see each other again.

He reached out and took the tureen on the side table, lifted the lid, sipped the tea in it slowly, and looked at the furnishings in the Shoukang Palace.

It took about half a stick of incense for the Empress Dowager Song to come back.

After returning, he continued to gossip. When it's time to eat, it's called setting up meals.

If this is in the private sector, it would be a very common thing to keep one's nephew or uncle for dinner.

But this was in the palace, and one of the people who stayed with Song Shao for dinner was the queen mother and the other was the emperor.

So this is not just keeping him for a meal, but giving him a meal, which is a great honor.

Song Shao hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

In a short while, the maids and eunuchs came over to serve the dishes.

Yishui'er yellow ground enamel color peony pattern bowls, plates and spoons.

The royal demeanor really showed its full potential, but Song Jinning felt that this color was too ostentatious.

As for the dishes, it seems that Song Jinning has followed her father's taste over the years, and always feels that these royal dishes are more than luxurious, but not refined enough.

After sitting down and tasting a few dishes, I couldn't help feeling disappointed.

But after thinking about it, she could understand it quite well.

Presumably, one is that the rules in the palace are strict, even when it comes to meals, the royal style cannot be lacking. You can't get something like radish tassels for the masters in the palace to eat, right? You must have chicken, duck, fish, bird's nest, abalone, sea cucumber, etc. In short, the more precious the ingredients, the better. This greatly limits the performance of the royal chefs.

Secondly, the royal chefs must also be worried that they will spoil the mouths of the masters, and it will be difficult to serve them in the future, so they should keep all their housekeeping skills? I don't dare to often create new dishes.

All in all, it’s about doing more and making more mistakes, but it’s not bad if you don’t do it.

As for the third, who knows when the masters will pass the meal? And how could one or two dishes be enough for the masters to eat? That must be a big table.

If you meet a proud and extravagant master, it is possible to order dozens of dishes for a meal, or even more than a hundred dishes.

Even if it's Avalokitesvara, it's okay to meet such a master. What's more, how many masters are there in the palace? If you wait for the master's order before starting to cook, when will the master have to wait until you can eat

Therefore, these imperial meals must have been prepared early in the morning, and when the master passed the meals on, they would be served immediately like flowing water.

Naturally, in order to ensure that the imperial meal that has been prepared long ago is still hot when it arrives in front of the master, it has to be kept warm on the cage or warmed with hot water. In this way, no matter what kind of dish it is, the crunchiness when it comes out of the pan will definitely be gone.

If it's someone else, this royal meal is fine, but Song Jinning has a foodie father who can be said to be the most precious tongue all over his body...

Song Jinning looked up at his brother. Although nothing can be seen on the surface, it must be that the imperial meal is not to his taste.

Continue talking after dinner.

But Song Shao is all relatives in the final analysis, and he is still the prince of Nanyang County. Although the last emperor's decree was that the king of Nanyang County was not allowed to enter the capital privately unless summoned, Song Shao, as the son of the eldest son, had to avoid suspicion.

So after sitting for a while, Song Shao got up to make a speech, and at the same time said that he would leave Beijing and return to Yunnan tomorrow.

The Empress Dowager Song naturally hated him, but she had nothing to do with the last emperor's will.

I had to nod in agreement.

Song Shao knelt down to bid farewell to Queen Mother Song, Li Chengxuan, and Song Jinning.

Song Jinning felt very uncomfortable.

Knowing that it shouldn't be, but seeing Song Shao's back turning and leaving, she still got up and said to Queen Mother Song and Li Chengxuan: "Aunt, Your Majesty, Concubine Rong Chen will send me off to my brother."

For Empress Dowager Song, these two are her nephews and the other is her niece, so they are different from others.

Moreover, Song Jinning is considered to be married far away, and she is farewell to Song Shao, and she does not know when she will meet again. What's wrong with wanting to send him off

Immediately nodded in agreement.

As for Li Chengxuan, he naturally had no reason to object.

Song Jinning got up and left the hall with Song Shao.

Due to her current status, Song Jinning did not dare to get close to Song Shao in front of the Empress Dowager Song and Li Chengxuan, but as soon as she left the palace gate, Song Jinning raised her hand to hold Song Shao's right arm.

Song Shao was taken aback. He wanted to break free, but was stopped by Song Jinning.

"Brother, what's the meaning of this? Could it be that I'm married, so I won't be my sister in the future? Otherwise, why would you treat me so strangely, just call me your mother, and stop calling me Ning'er? You don't want your arm either. You didn't treat me like this before."

His tone was soft, and there was a very aggrieved expression on his face.

When Song Shao saw it, his heart felt weak and uncomfortable.

He only has such a sister, how could he not love her.

But now she was born to marry into the royal family and became the queen of the world. Due to his status as a monarch and minister, with so many eyes watching him, how could he still be as close to her as he was

But looking at Song Jinning's aggrieved appearance at the moment, and thinking about saying goodbye today, and wondering when he will see her again, Song Shao couldn't help feeling sour.

"Ninger,"

He called Song Jinning in a low voice, and raised his hand to pat the back of her hand that was holding his right arm.

"Brother will leave the capital tomorrow and return to Yunnan. You will be here alone in the future, so you have to learn to take care of yourself."

Song Jinning has never been far away from them since she was born, but now she is going to leave her alone in the capital.

And still in this treacherous and weird palace.

At the beginning of the year, Song Shao disagreed with the imperial decree that Song Jinning was conferred the title of empress and sent to Beijing to get married after autumn. He would rather Song Jinning marry someone from an ordinary family nearby, than marry thousands of miles away, making it difficult to see each other again.

But the destiny is hard to violate, they have to obey the order.

Although Song Jinning also felt a little sad in her heart, it was much better than Song Shao's.

Because she knew that she would be able to leave Beijing and return to Yunnan in three years.

But she didn't dare to tell Song Shao clearly. He just said vaguely: "Brother, I like the courtyard where I live at home very much, you have to keep it for me, and you must not let someone else live in it."

Song Jinning had his own small courtyard in the mansion of the Prince of Yunnan County. Flowing water in the promenade, crabapple and plantain, very quiet, she really likes it very much. After going back three years, she still wants to live there.

But he didn't know that Song Shao's heart was even more sour when he heard what she said.

Silly sister! You are married into the royal family, how can you go back to your natal family easily

And your natal family is thousands of miles away in Yunnan...

They are not allowed to enter the capital unless they are summoned by will, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to see your relatives in the future.

But there was still a smile on his face, and he said in a warm voice: "Don't worry, Ning'er. I will definitely keep your yard for you. Even the furnishings inside, I won't let it go."

He would also order someone to clean the small courtyard every day, as if Song Jinning still lived there.

Song Jinning frowned in his heart, and smiled at him. Then she obediently listened to Song Shao's instructions to her.

It's nothing more than taking the husband as the key link, and the husband sings and the wife follows, so you can't make Li Chengxuan unhappy.

And don't be jealous, be good at tolerant people and so on.

Emperor, isn't it normal for Sangong Sixth Hospital? If this is a jar of jealousy, can she live comfortably in the palace

Song Jinning nodded again and again: "Brother, don't worry."

She didn't bother with Li Chengxuan at all, she just waited to return to Yunnan after being deposed as soon as possible.

Seeing her casual and indifferent appearance, Song Shao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But there is nothing to do.

Fortunately, with my aunt around, I will always point out everything and protect her.

And even though their Nanyang County Palace is far away in Yunnan, Li Chengxuan has to be cautious, and he must not dare to really wrong Song Jinning.

Song Shao finally left full of worries. Song Jinning stood at the vermilion palace gate and waited until he could no longer see his back before turning around.

The Empress Dowager Song and Li Chengxuan were talking in the hall, but when they saw Song Jinning coming back, they stopped talking and started chatting with Song Jinning instead.

Song Jinning didn't care about what the Empress Dowager Song had just said to Li Chengxuan at all. Humans, sometimes a little less curiosity can not only reduce a lot of danger, but also reduce a lot of troubles.

As the saying goes, life is rarely confused.

He just sat in the chair with an upright posture, lowered his eyebrows and eyes slightly, and listened to the Empress Dowager Song with a gentle smile on his face. From time to time, answer a few words in a soft voice.

Sitting across from him, Li Chengxuan glanced at her coldly, and hummed softly in his heart.
