Song Jinning stayed in the Shoukang Palace of the Empress Dowager Song until Shen Shi came out.
It's not that she wants to stay there, it's mainly because the Empress Dowager Song hasn't seen her for a long time, and she really misses her, so she keeps her talking.
At the same time, from the Queen Mother Song's words, Song Jinning knew that she had a daughter. His name is Li Xiyan, and his title is Jingle. Because of the wind and cold in the past two days, the imperial doctor said that I need to rest, so I didn't come here today.
Song Jinning vaguely remembered that there was indeed such a princess in the book. It seems that her body is relatively weak, and her temperament is quite quiet. As for the others, she has no impression.
On the other hand, another princess named Huaiqing, Song Jinning, was somewhat impressed.
Because this Princess Huaiqing is the eldest sister-in-law of the heroine in the book. Not only does he focus on making trouble with the heroine in his daily life, but he even dares to raise his face in front of his husband-in-law and in-laws, which is very bold.
Compared to Princess Jingle, Song Jinning realized that she might want to meet that Princess Huaiqing more.
But now she doesn't want to see anyone anymore, she just wants to go back to her nest in Weiyang Palace.
Soon after Song Shao left, Li Chengxuan also left.
Although the emperor's big wedding was celebrated with the whole world, not only did he amnesty the world, but he also suspended court for three days. But Li Chengxuan did not enjoy this rare marriage leave, but continued to devote himself to political affairs in full swing.
The reason is very simple, because the Queen Mother Song returned to power.
It's like a company's management suddenly resigns. Even if the newly recruited one has outstanding work ability, the first few days of handover are enough for him to drink a pot.
What's more, this is not a company, but an empire, so there must be more things and more troubles.
Of course, no matter how busy Li Chengxuan was, Song Jinning felt that it had nothing to do with her. And she actually has quite confidence in Li Chengxuan.
No matter how you say it is the male protagonist in the book, his working ability must be outstanding.
He just leaned in the sedan chair and closed his eyes to meditate. As soon as he got to Weiyang Palace and sat on the wooden couch facing the window, his body immediately tilted down, his posture was very lazy.
Gu Yu couldn't stand it anymore.
"Your Majesty, what did Madam tell you when you left Yunnan? You are told to show the demeanor of a queen's mother in the world in the future, and you must not be lazy again. When you sit down, you should still be as soft as you used to be, otherwise others will see you." How can I convince you?"
Song Jinning couldn't listen to her words.
With her right hand propping her chin, she looked sideways at Bai Lu and smiled.
"Lu'er, tell me, how did I behave at the Queen Mother's place just now?"
"Your Majesty is doing very well, every move is full of temperament." Bai Lu stood aside with her hands down, and answered sternly.
Song Jinning smiled, looked at Gu Yu and raised her eyebrows.
"Look, Yu'er, Lu'er has already praised me."
Gu Yu: ...
Gu Yu gritted her teeth secretly, and at the same time glared at Bai Lu.
How did the madam tell the two of them at that time? Tell the two of them to remind their mothers at all times. But now you are fine, vent your anger with the empress!
Gu Yu gave birth to a round face. Although she is two years older than Song Jinning, the baby fat on her cheeks is very obvious. This makes her look younger than she really is.
Especially when she was angry, her cheeks puffed up, making Song Jinning involuntarily think of a hamster that was eating.
I really want to reach out and squeeze it, rub it.
Song Jinning resisted this urge. The main reason is that she just wants to be paralyzed now, too lazy to move.
But it's not tiring to move your mouth.
"You just said that you are someone else. Don't worry, when facing others, I will definitely show the airs that should be put on. But you two are not others, so I will do whatever I want."
So in the empress's heart, the two of them are more important than the empress dowager song and the emperor? Otherwise, why did the empress still pretend to be in front of the Queen Mother Song and the emperor
Gu Yu was completely carried away by Song Jinning's words, and she was so happy that she walked over to pour tea and pastries for Song Jinning.
Bai Lu glanced at her and thought, just like you, you still want to mention something about your mother? You are almost completely played by the empress in the palm of your hand, okay
However, in view of Gu Yu's temperament that likes to blow hair, Bai Lu wisely chose to turn her head away and not speak.
As a result, when he turned his head, he saw a white shadow rushing towards Song Jinning with lightning speed.
In spring, people are prone to sleepiness. Song Jinning has been on the road a few days ago, so she is really tired. So after lying on the couch for a while, her eyes were already closed.
Even though she clearly heard the breaking wind, she didn't even raise her eyelids.
Both Gu Yu and Bai Lu possess kung fu. With the two of them here, she felt relieved that no one else could get close to her.
The chest and abdomen suddenly sank slightly, and at the same time, a meow was heard in the ear.
The voice was soft, as if she was acting like a baby.
Song Jinning knew it was her cat without even opening her eyes.
This cat was raised by her side a year ago. His hair is as white as snow, and his eyes are as blue as the sea. She liked it so much that she named it Snowball. However, he is usually called by the nickname Qiuqiu.
Immediately, he closed his eyes and swung his backhand, hugged Xueqiu in his arms, and continued to fall asleep.
The weather in spring is changeable. There was still a few rays of sunlight in the sky when he came back from Shoukang Palace, but when it was dusk, it started to rain.
Song Jinning stood on the porch watching the rain with her hands folded.
The rain was not heavy, and the wind blowing with the rain was not cold. However, the dark dusk and the sound of drizzling rain can easily make people feel sad.
"Tsk."
After a while, Song Jinning turned her head slightly, looked at Bai Lu who was standing beside her, her eyebrows were slightly raised.
"It seems that we will stay in this square palace wall in the future."
Bai Lu was silent.
Empress is here, feeling sad
But think about it, when the empress was in Yunnan, she would stay in the yard if she wanted to, and leave the mansion if she wanted to. It is also possible to play and climb mountains, or ride a horse to hunt, as free as a bird.
But now marrying into the royal family, how can you be as unrestrained as before
Bai Lu couldn't help feeling a little sad in her heart. Just as she was thinking about what to say to comfort Song Jinning, she heard Gu Yu's crisp voice through the window.
"Your Majesty, the dinner has been delivered, come back and have your meal."
The next moment, Bai Lu felt a blur in front of her eyes, and it was Song Jinning who turned around very quickly and went back to the hall.
"What dishes do you have for dinner today? Do you have the toon scrambled eggs I mentioned earlier?"
"Hey, I said Yu'er, don't hide so far away. Let me tell you, this toon smells a bit strange, but it actually tastes very delicious."
Then there was a sigh of contentment. Then there was Song Jinning's sighing voice: "It's not in vain that I started counting the days when I was on the road earlier. The toon buds these days are indeed the most fragrant and tender."
Bailu: ...
So why did she feel that Song Jinning was sad just now
This is clearly a foodie who only has food in his eyes and heart! !
Song Jinning ate the toon taste that she missed very much, and slept well that night.
When I got up early the next time, although the sky was not yet clear, it did not rain again.
After breakfast, under Gu Yu's strong suggestion, Song Jinning abandoned the sedan chair and walked to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager Song.
When she arrived, the Empress Dowager Song was still eating.
Seeing Song Jinning, Queen Mother Song waved to her and told her to sit down at the table.
"The Ai family was busy with government affairs a few years ago, but now that they are free, the whole person is actually slack and can't get up in the morning. It makes Ning'er laugh."
Song Jinning smiled.
"What's Auntie talking about? It's said that Chunmian doesn't wake up. To tell you the truth, Auntie, I fell asleep on the couch when I came back from you yesterday. I fell asleep until sunset."
Looking at the breakfast on the table, Song Jinning glanced at Gu Yu.
Gu Yu understood, and hurriedly opened the food box held by the servant girl behind her, and took out the two plates of pastries inside.
"This is a fashionable snack that I made in my small kitchen this morning. I tasted it and it's okay. I just want you to try it too. I don't know if it suits my aunt's taste."
Empress Dowager Song looked around. I saw round, dark brown-green, and flat things placed one by one on the white porcelain plate like the first snow. It smells like a fresh fragrance.
The other white porcelain plate should also contain the same thing. The difference is that the stuff in that plate should be steamed, looking soft and sticky, the stuff in this plate should be fried, the surface is slightly burnt, and both sides are golden yellow .
Song Jinning stood by the table and explained softly.
"This snack is called Artemisia Baba, and it is a snack in the Jiangnan area. The ingredients used include glutinous rice flour, bamboo shoots, bacon, pickled vegetables, etc. But the most important ingredient is the wild vegetable called Artemisia leaves."
If other people offered such a snack to the Queen Mother, even if the Queen Mother didn't get angry on the spot, she would definitely keep a record of this in her heart, and try to find ways to wear small shoes for this person in the future.
What do you mean? I am the queen mother of a country, how dare you fool me with something made of wild vegetables? Who are you poor
But who is Song Jinning? This is the niece of her natal family. It is no exaggeration to say that the Empress Dowager Song has 28,000 filters for Song Jinning. So even if Song Jinning randomly picked a piece of grass by the roadside and gave it to her today, she would think it was a rare thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum leaf.
He hurriedly picked up a pair of ivory chopsticks.
Regardless of the filter, these two desserts are really good. It not only has the fresh air of spring vegetation, but also is very delicious.
Especially the fried Artemisia Baba, which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, once you bite into it, you can't help but want to take another bite, and you can't stop at all.
Empress Dowager Song also used a piece.
Then she put down the chopsticks in her hand and asked Song Jinning: "Did you ask someone to send these two snacks to the emperor to taste?"
I wish I could have nothing to do with that person. Who would want to give him food
Song Jinning slandered her inwardly, but she still acted obediently on the surface.
"I don't know if it suits the emperor's taste, so I didn't ask someone to send it."
Empress Dowager Song thought to herself, this will not work.
Even though the two of you had consummated on the wedding night, the emperor must still be reluctant to this marriage. Didn't the emperor go to Weiyang Palace last night
Ning'er is the same, if you don't take advantage of the newly married time to please the emperor and pester him, why don't you wait until he accepts concubines in the future
So she called Cui Nong over and told her: "Leave one of these two plates of dim sum for the princess, and send the rest to the emperor now."
He also specifically told Cui Nong: "Remember to tell the emperor that this is made in the empress's small kitchen."
Alas, she still has to worry about this.
