Chapter 1273 [Updated on July 3] Does It Look so Similar to Fourth Master?

The servant waiting outside the hall saw her and saluted respectfully: "The Empress Dowager is copying the scriptures in the inner room, and I invite the empress to enter the main hall and sit for a while, and the servant will go and inform."

Ruoyin nodded, then supported Banmei's hand into the main hall.

In addition to these older generations, many young concubines also like to copy scriptures in the harem.

But only they know it.

Under those benevolent skins, there is such a hypocritical face, doing some shady and vicious things.

The queen mother is no better than the concubine Xian, especially after passing through the Taimiao incident, the mother-child relationship between the queen mother and the fourth master dropped sharply.

This made the queen mother think that the culprit of all this was Ruoyin.

From then on, she didn't like to see Ruoyin much.

Ruoyin also felt something about these.

She also knew that coming to the Empress Dowager's place today would inevitably depend on her face.

But don't be afraid to deal with things because of this.

As the aunt of Er Gege and Si Gege, she has to deal with the chores in the harem, which is her duty.

Low-ranking concubines are not qualified to manage.

It's definitely not okay to hand it over to the slaves.

Because of her status as the queen mother, she had to fight wits and courage to come here in person.

Sending a servant over, but not paying attention to the Queen Mother, it would be strange for the Queen Mother to accept it.

As expected, as Ruoyin expected, she drank several cups of tea in the main hall before the queen mother came out slowly.

Seeing this, Ruoyin stood up and saluted.

The Empress Dowager supported the maid's hand and walked to the head to take her seat, "Get up."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

"Except for Chen Xing, you rarely come to Ai's house on weekdays. Now that you're here, just tell me if you have anything to say." The Queen Mother was straightforward.

Ruoyin smiled coyly, and replied, "It's been cold recently, and my concubine ordered someone to make donkey-hide gelatin cakes, and specially sent them to Queen Empress to taste."

Although the Empress Dowager speaks ruthlessly, she still tries to get close first before getting down to business.

As the saying goes, the mouth of others is soft, but the hands of others are short.

What about the fourth master and the queen mother is a matter between their mother and son.

As a daughter-in-law, she still has to have the courtesy she should have, otherwise she doesn't know the rules.

"Ai's house doesn't have any cakes here. A small cake can be delivered by the queen herself." The queen mother said disapprovingly.

"What did the emperor's mother say? This is what a concubine should do. Moreover, this donkey-hide gelatin cake is not an ordinary cake. It is carefully boiled with more than a dozen ingredients, which can nourish blood and nourish Qi, beautify the skin, and maintain health."

After finishing speaking, Ruoyin winked at Banmei, and Banmei presented the donkey-hide gelatin cake, and the maid handed the cake to the Queen Mother.

The queen mother frowned involuntarily as she looked at the dark donkey-hide gelatin cake.

He also said with distaste on his mouth: "Just this dark thing, let alone whether what you are bragging about is true, Aijia seriously doubts whether it can be eaten."

"Don't look at this donkey-hide gelatin cake, it's very useful. According to my concubine's knowledge, Concubine Yang Guifei of the Tang Dynasty had a fat skin, and she often ate donkey-hide gelatin, which is known as the "holy medicine for nourishing blood". Cake."

Which woman does not love beauty and is not afraid of getting old.

Especially the queen mother, who spends all day in the harem, is a proper petty bourgeoisie in the Qing Dynasty, and of course likes to keep in good health.

Moreover, she had inquired about it, and the queen mother ordered the imperial doctor to make all kinds of beauty and beauty products when she had nothing to do, so she could do what she liked.

The queen mother looked at Ruoyin's seriousness, and it didn't seem like she was lying to her.

Besides, the queen did not dare to lie to her.

So, after the servants tested the poison, she pinched a piece of donkey-hide gelatin cake and tasted it meaningfully.

Immediately, there was a faint fragrance of donkey-hide gelatin spreading between the lips.

In addition, there are red dates, wolfberry, and longan meat.

Besides that, she tasted the scent of flowers.

The Queen Mother looked at the dark food in her hand in surprise, and asked, "Is there a rose in it?"

"Huihuangerniang, in order to neutralize the smell of the medicine, there are indeed roses in it."

The queen mother nodded and ate all the donkey-hide gelatin cakes left in her hand.

After eating, my hands are unconsciously ready to pinch another piece.

As if realizing something, she stopped her hand in mid-air and retracted it.

He coughed lightly in front of him to cover up his embarrassment, and said solemnly: "Don't think that taking these things is just to win over Aijia."

"Look at what the Empress Dowager said, the concubines are only doing their duty, so there's no need to win over them. Besides, you are the Empress Dowager, so you naturally have a reputation for things."

The queen mother snorted coldly, and said: "Well, Ai's family remembers that last time when you were in Taimiao, you said that Ai's family didn't even have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, so you just said in public that Ai's family is old and confused!"

"But in the end, didn't Queen Mother prove that you still have the ability to distinguish?"

Last time in Taimiao, the Queen Mother almost wronged her again.

Fortunately, she reined in at the end of the precipice and regained consciousness, which proved her and Xu Yun's innocence.

"Presumptuous! How about Aijia, it's not your turn to say it here!" The queen mother slapped the armrest angrily.

Her temperament is basically what she is, and she doesn't hide it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to quarrel with the emperor's fourth master like that, and it was because of the unhappiness in his heart back then.

As for the behavior of the queen, she had nothing to say.

But she just couldn't bear the emperor's opposition to her for such a woman.

Seeing that the queen mother was angry, Ruoyin bowed his head and said "yes".

Above, the Empress Dowager looked straight at Ruoyin, and after a long sigh of relief, she said, "Okay, Dongsi Ai's family has accepted it, and I ate it too. Tell me, what's the matter."

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that after Nian Shi left, Si Gege was left alone. The concubine heard that you always wanted to raise a child, so she wanted to entrust Si Gege to you to raise."

"No!" Ruoyin finished speaking, and the queen mother said decisively: "The Ai family wants to raise a child, but it must belong to the Fourteen family, not someone else's."

From Ruoyin's ears, she felt that the queen mother was speaking out of anger, not from her heart.

Otherwise, when the heir of the harem was framed, the queen mother would not be so angry. This shows that she still cares about the heir of the fourth master.

As for why she was angry, it was probably the reason why the empress dowager had been estranged from fourth master.

Ruoyin raised his head and looked directly at the queen mother, "Emperor Niang, are you sure you don't plan to raise Si Gege?"

"The same thing, Aijia doesn't want to say it a second time."

Hearing this, Ruoyin couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

Why is the Queen Mother's tone and temper so similar to Fourth Master's, she deserves to be a mother and son!

Seeing that the queen mother disagreed, Ruoyin could only shake her head and said: "Now there are only two and four princesses in the harem, and those new concubines, concubines and the emperor are not at ease, so I thought of you and Concubine Xian .”

Queen Mother: "..."

"The concubine knows that with your temperament, you definitely don't like others taking it. I thought that Er Gege would be old enough to remember things, so I didn't send it to you, and handed it directly to Concubine Xian. Si Gege is still young. , and didn’t remember anything, so I specially left it for you. Alas, it’s a pity that you don’t want Sigege either, so I have to ask again to see if Concubine Xian still accepts Sigege. His concubine raised him."

"What! Concubine Xian raised Er Gege?" The queen mother looked disbelieving, and then she said unwillingly: "The Ai family doesn't have a grandson under their knees, so giving her Tong Jia's one is considered to be worthy of her, how can I let her Raise two at once!"
