Chapter 242 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey
"That's great, Songzhi, please take the princess's plate."
"No, no, no! I haven't tasted the one with venison filling yet!"
Why didn't Empress Hua play by the rules? If she was angry and refused to eat, the wet nurse would coax her to eat and she could have whatever she wanted.
Linglong took a quick step and protected the chopsticks and plates in front of her.
"Then do you still want to eat sugar dumplings?" Concubine Hua glanced at Linglong.
"Hmph!!!" Linglong turned her head away!
"It seems that you are full, Songzhi, clear the plates." Concubine Hua took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth carefully.
Lanzhi and Guizhi cleared the food from the table. Linglong stared with her big round eyes, holding her empty bowl in her arms in a daze.
The dining table was empty. Concubine Hua took a cup of tea, blew away the foam on it, and took a sip.
Linglong was stunned for a moment, then reacted, put down the empty bowl in her arms, pouted, leaned forward, slid her buttocks, and reached the ground with her toes.
Then Linglong ran into the hall with the soft couch and buried her head in the pillow, leaving only her round little butt exposed.
Concubine Hua turned a blind eye, and the palace maids such as Songzhi also pretended nothing happened.
After a while, Linglong, who was waiting for Concubine Hua to coax her, started to snore on the couch.
Songzhi then helped Concubine Hua take a nap on the other side of the couch.
The afternoon sun of Yiku Palace dances in the courtyard.
As soon as Songzhi walked out of the main hall, she saw Linglong's wet nurse, Aunt Zhang, walking towards her quickly with a bowl in her hand.
"Miss Songzhi, I made an egg custard for the princess. Cui'er said that the princess didn't eat much for lunch just now."
Nanny Zhang forced a smile, but before she could finish her words, she wanted to squeeze into the main hall with her broad body.
Songzhi took a step in front of Nanny Zhang and blocked her way.
"Mammy, the queen and the princess are both asleep now. Let's talk after they wake up from their nap."
Songzhi's attitude was very friendly, which gave Zhang Ma the illusion that Songzhi should be polite to her.
Nanny Zhang forced her smile even harder and said, "How can the princess sleep if she's hungry?" while trying hard to get inside.
Songzhi still stood in front of Nanny Zhang, with no intention of giving in.
"Mammy, I told you, the queen slept with the princess."
Songzhi's tone was very calm, and she was not at all disrespectful to the elderly Nanny Zhang.
Only then did Nanny Zhang realize that although Songzhi looked polite, she actually had a bad temper. The main hall of the Yikun Palace was not easy to enter.
Nanny Zhang could only sniffle to express embarrassment, muttering something like "the princess is not full" but what to do, then turned and left.
Nanny Zhang was a few steps away from the main hall entrance when she began to mutter, "After all, this child is not her own. How can she feel sorry for him?"
The voice was very soft, but it still fell into Songzhi's ears.
Songzhi's eyes narrowed slightly in the sunlight.
Nanny Zhang was the one who raised the princess since she was a child, so Songzhi naturally respected her.
But if she is disrespectful to her elders and acts without discretion, don't blame me for being rude.
"Why are you standing here, Miss Songzhi?" Zhou Ninghai limped over.
"Nothing, I just sent away a nosy old hag." Song Zhi looked at Zhou Ninghai, "Have you found out what the queen asked you to find out?"
"Well, I'm afraid it's not something from the imperial kitchen." Zhou Ninghai whispered.
"Hmph. A tall tree attracts the wind. Your Majesty is right. Even if we in the Yikun Palace do not take action, there are many people who want to mess with her." Song Zhi uttered a few disdainful "humphs" from her nose.
"She's just pregnant now. Every woman can get pregnant. She just vomited twice more, and others have to suffer as well. It really proves what the queen said, 'Bitch is just hypocritical.'"
“Then Master Jin, please take care of our Yikun Palace more often. The fresh seasonal vegetables should be given to our Yikun Palace first…” Song Zhi became very angry when she talked about things related to Ling Xiang.
"Little aunt, please stop talking. The Queen is just waiting to make an example of you."
Zhou Ninghai looked around carefully and advised in a low voice.
Songzhi was chattering away when Zhou Ninghai stopped her. Thinking that walls have ears, Songzhi turned around and went back to the main hall.
Zhou Ninghai went to several places to verify his guess.
-------------------------------------
In the Suiyu Pavilion, the lights are as small as beans, glowing faintly like fireflies.
Zhen Huan took off her hairpins and rings, her black hair falling like a waterfall. She sat beside a small soft table, cutting the wick of a candle with a pair of small scissors.
"My lady, normally you don't like bright places the most. Why do you only light this one candle today?" Liu Zhu's tone was brisk and lively, driving away some of the darkness in Sui Yuxuan.
"The lights are dim. Who would come here in the middle of the night? Let's save the candles." Zhen Huan rested her chin on her arms and put down the scissors in her hand without interest.
"My lady, are you missing the emperor?" Liu Zhu could hear the lovesickness in Zhen Huan's voice.
"I don't know where the emperor is now, and whether the people who take care of him are still doing their best." Zhen Huan felt that after the emperor left, it felt like something was missing in the palace.
After Zhen Huan became pregnant this time, her mood was very abrupt. Sometimes she was very happy, and sometimes she was very sad. At first, Liu Zhu, Jin Xi and others didn't understand why the young lady's temperament had changed. Later, Lord Wen said that this was also the reaction of a pregnant woman when she was pregnant for the first time, and it was nothing serious.
Just follow the master more.
I guess Zhen Huan is suddenly sad again.
Before leaving, the emperor said that he would definitely come back before his birthday, but I don’t know if what the emperor said is true or not.
"If you are bored, why not play the piano for a while. I like to listen to your piano and flute the most." There were star-like light flashing in Liuzhu's curved eyebrows.
"The person who is listening to the music is not here, so who should I play this song for?" Zhen Huan looked at the guqin placed opposite her, and her tone became even lower.
"Then why don't you invite Concubine Hui to play chess? After all, Concubine Hui may not have come to our Suiyuxuan?" Liu Zhu continued.
"I heard that Jinghe has been crying at night recently. I'm afraid Sister Mei can't spare the time." Zhen Huan said.
"Then I'll ask Xiao Yunzi and Huanbi to come in and play mahjong with you." Liu Zhu came up with another idea.
"You guys always give in to me. What's the fun in that?" Zhen Huan straightened the edge of her pajamas.
"You are so lucky, my lady. Tonight I want to see if you are still so lucky while you are pregnant with the little prince." Liu Zhu couldn't bear to see Zhen Huan sad, so she was determined to coax her.
