Chapter 224 The Taste of Conspiracy

oh oh!It turns out that the emperor will also go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, so he can rest assured that the mother and son will not unite to bully him!

"Then Empress Dowager allows me to bring someone into the palace, after all, I need someone to do it!" It's better to take Liuli to be on the safe side, if possible, she really wants to bring Xiao Shiyi along.

"The empress dowager didn't say anything, but it doesn't matter if you need help when making dim sum!" The old eunuch nodded understandingly, "Then go and prepare quickly! Don't make the empress dowager wait Already!"

"Yes! I'll go and prepare first!" Miao Yin breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly went to the backyard to find Liuli in a nervous mood, and also told Xiao Shishi that in case of accidents, she still had a good time to live. , I don't want to be unable to come out once I enter the palace.

After explaining, Miao Yinshu went to the bakery to simply bring some tools. I don't know what kind of snacks the old lady wants to eat. If the tools are not complete, I can only find another way at that time.

Once again, entering the palace is definitely not something ordinary people do.

Not to mention that after entering the gate of the palace, because of the low status and special circumstances, unlike entering the palace for the first time, there was a chariot to pick him up, and he just walked in.

Think about how "vast" a palace is almost half the size of the capital, and you have to rely on your feet to walk, how much suffering is that?
Fortunately, Miao Yinshu is not Jiao Didi's eldest lady, because of the conditions, she didn't bind her feet, otherwise she would have passed out in the middle of the road!

This was nothing, at least the short-handed old eunuch knew how to take them along some shady trails and cut corners, and he didn't feel too hot.

However, the trial is obviously not a little bit.After finally reaching the outside of the Compassionate Ning Palace, the old eunuch said that he had gone in to pass the news, but after a long time, no one came out, causing her and Liu Li to stand under the sun for half an hour.

Then when the inside finally found out with conscience and asked a palace lady to bring the person in, this is the scene now.

Miao Yinshu and Liuli have been kneeling upright on the ground since they came in and asked to kneel down.And the old hag in the upper seat who looks kind and kind, but actually has a vicious heart, is happily chatting with the beauties beside her who she thinks are beautiful in palace costumes, as if she didn't see them.

Ok!Miao Yinshu, who was not used to kneeling, already felt that her knees were hurting like hell, and her legs were starting to go numb. Miao Yinshu directly attributed the empress dowager to a bad person like an old witch.

It's a pity that she could only curse secretly, but she didn't dare to act rashly!well!Entering the palace is really not a good thing!

After half a cup of tea passed, the beauty in palace costume chatted obsequiously with the empress dowager and the old hag for a long time before getting up to leave. The old hag looked at Miao Yinshu and the others who were still kneeling, and pretended to be surprised: " Oh! Why are you still kneeling? Get up quickly!"

Afterwards, he pretended to say to Nanny Li, who was serving her closely: "You are really too old, Ai's family is getting old and confused, why don't you remember it, and don't remind Ai's family, let Miss Miao Kneeling for so long!"

"It's my servant's negligence! Please punish the Queen Mother!" Nanny Li was also used to acting, so she immediately knelt down and admitted her mistake.

"Forget it! Forget it! After all, it's not good to mourn the family, no wonder you! Get up!" If she didn't really want to punish the people around her, the Empress Dowager naturally pretended to be magnanimous and waved people to get up.

Here, Liuli is used to training in the dark hall, and the effort of just a cup of tea can't torture her.But Miao Yinshu was miserable, she herself didn't like the people around her to kneel down to her at every turn, so naturally she didn't like to kneel down, she really suffered a great crime today.

With Liuli's support, his knees were trembling with pain and he couldn't stand up straight. After the blood flowed back all of a sudden, his legs felt like thousands of ants were terrified, not to mention the tingling pain.

Her legs didn't seem to be her own, she staggered several times and almost fell down, if Liuli hadn't supported her, she would definitely have fallen to the ground.

The empress dowager old hag seemed very satisfied to see Miao Yinshu's pained but still holding back expression, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but she was very concerned about what she said: "Oh! Ms. Miao, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? "

Nonsense, of course it's because your legs are uncomfortable, or you can kneel down and have a cup of tea and try it!Miao Yinshu gritted her teeth secretly in her heart, but she couldn't show resentment on her face, she could only smile wryly: "Thank you Empress Dowager for your concern! My daughter is fine!"

"It's fine!" The Empress Dowager showed a gratified smile, but her eyes were filled with coldness, "Come on! Give Miss Miao a seat!"

"Thank you Empress Dowager!" Her grandma's bear, old witch, you did it on purpose!Miao Yinshu was so angry that his heart was boiling with hatred, but he could only grit his teeth and bow his knees to thank him.The pain in the legs that couldn't stand upright was even more severe, and the knees were not strong, and people were about to fall down.

Liuli, who accompanied her in the salute, supported her arm and immediately used her hands secretly, so that she didn't make a fool of herself on the spot.

"Sit down and talk!" The Empress Dowager saw that she was about to fall, but she stood up again, her eyes flashed, and she couldn't help but look at Liuli beside her, annoyed why the people who went out to do business still didn't respond. Let her bring someone into the palace together, which made her want to torture people more, but was resolved.

Of course, at this time, she couldn't open her mouth to chase people away, so she could only pretend to be kind and said: "On Aijia's birthday, the cake you made was really delicious. Aijia has been missing these days. It's the ones in the imperial dining room. Stupid, no one has such good craftsmanship as you, Aijia has never tasted it again."

"The empress dowager ordered, my daughter must do her best!" It turned out that she wanted to eat cakes, and she would get the ingredients from the imperial dining room. She also knew that she had taboo foods that she could not eat, and she was allergic, so she should not use cakes anymore. Frame her now!
Miao Yinshu decided that when making cakes, she must take the old hag's nanny Li along with her, and let her watch the whole production process with her own eyes, so that they will not be afraid of being framed by them.

"Yeah!" The empress dowager nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Aijia also heard that the other dim sum you made is also delicious, so how about making some for Aijia if you see how many more you can make today? ?”

"Yes!" She replied respectfully, anyway, no matter what, if she is asked to make a few more small dishes, she will definitely let that Nanny Li who is in cahoots with the old witch accompany her. room to make snacks! Only..."

"It's almost time for lunch, don't be in a hurry now, Miss Miao will have lunch with Ai's family today and then go to the imperial dining room to prepare!" Today's old hag doesn't know what's going on, He was still very polite to Miao Yinshu while talking, calling her Miss Miao every time.

It only made Miao Yinshu not feel flattered, but felt that the taste of conspiracy was very strong, making her always on guard in fear, not daring to relax any nerves.

At this moment, upon hearing her words, Miao Yinshu hurriedly thanked her first and then refused in a respectful manner: "The empress dowager loves her so much, and my servants are terrified! It's just that the servants' status is humble, how can I have a meal with the empress dowager? The evil minister!"

have a meal together?Don't put arsenic in the food, right?

"Although you are Miao Shilang's niece, I heard that their family treats you as a family when your parents died young. It's just missing a title. You don't have to belittle yourself and consider your status to be humble!" The empress dowager But he said kindly, "Besides, Ai's family was delayed for an hour, so I can't let you make snacks for Ai's family on an empty stomach, right! Don't shirk it, just stay at ease!"

After finishing speaking, the Empress Dowager gave Nanny Li a wink, and Nanny Li immediately bowed and retreated, probably going to pass the meal.

Seeing the situation, Miao Yinshu thought that if he tried to evade again, he would give up his excuses. He could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and replied respectfully: "The empress dowager loves you! It's better to obey orders than to be respectful!"

However, what she didn't expect was that the cheap father who was worthless in her eyes turned out to have some tricks, and even fabricated his own identity.However, is there no doubt?She obviously looks like her mother, okay, but no one expressed her incomprehension when she became a child of her uncle's family?

Forget it, it would be the best if no one suspects it, and if you don't worry about the cheapness of concealing it, then she has nothing to worry about.

The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded, and said: "That's right! The Ai family heard from Miao Shilang that you are already eighteen years old. Can the Ai family ask you why you haven't married yet at this age?"

old hag what does that mean?
A bad premonition flashed in Miao Yinshu's heart, and she felt that the purpose of calling her into the palace today was not just to eat the snacks she made.

Moreover, as soon as she left the topic, she was asked about her age and marriage, and the taste of conspiracy became stronger.

After a lot of thought in my heart, I couldn't figure out what the meaning of the scheming old witch in the deep palace was, but it was related to Ye Feiran, so her reply today was equivalent to a direct answer. It's about the relationship between the two of you!
If she didn't know that she has a marriage contract now, she would definitely tell the reason why she became a leftover woman in this age with a clear heart. If she chooses to hide it, it will inevitably add another unbridgeable gap between her and Ye Feiran.

To say or not to say is a dilemma!Instead of being accused of lying, it's better to be outspoken!
Making up her mind, Miao Yinshu raised her head to meet the empress dowager's penetrating gaze without being arrogant or humble, and said, "If you go back to the empress dowager, the ministers have lived in the countryside for more than ten years, and because they have no parents since they were young, so the marriage If there is no one to take care of the matter, the marriage will be delayed! Years ago, my grandmother thought of me as a granddaughter, so she asked me to come to Beijing to meet her, only then did my servant find out that I was betrothed since childhood!"

With a "click", there seemed to be a sound coming from behind the curtain, although it was slight, Miao Yinshu still heard it.I don't know why I suddenly thumped in my heart, feeling that the bad premonition just now is getting stronger and stronger!
Because Liuli is a martial artist, to her judgment, that slight noise was definitely not something that just happened by chance, but that there must be someone hiding behind the heavy curtain.

However, although she knew it in her heart, she couldn't pierce it in front of the empress dowager, let alone remind Miao Yinshu. She could only keep an eye on the curtain, in case someone suddenly rushed out to harm Miao Yinshu, or...

"Bold Miao Yinshu!" The Empress Dowager naturally also heard the sound behind her, she frowned slightly, but turned her face and slapped the armrest of the seat faster than turning a book.He yelled at Miao Yinshu angrily.

"The empress dowager calm down!" Even though Miao Yinshu had already prepared herself, once she said this, she would probably become the empress dowager's excuse to blame herself.But she also knew that if she lied, she would also be unable to escape her attack.Anyway, if she wants to keep her little head today, she has to be flexible and adapt to the situation.

With a "plop", he knelt down on his knees, and the pain just now added new pain, which only made Miao Yinshu's painful little face wrinkle into a ball.But this time is not the time to care about the pain, but to explain the matter clearly before the empress dowager, and maybe escape.
