Chapter 749: The politeness means a lot
Hearing what Su Qinglan said, Shang Ruyi was startled and immediately raised his head to look at her. Su Qinglan hurriedly smiled and said: "Wei Chen didn't mean anything else, it's just, The princess is still in the early stages of pregnancy, and she needs to pay attention to some foods. I'm afraid Mrs. Chu doesn't know the taboos-"
She said it very euphemistically, but Shang Ruyi understood it immediately.
Tu Sheer on the side also felt sorry for herself and said hurriedly: "That's true, she made this snack by herself. I'm not worried, so I'd better ask Master Su to take a look and confirm that the princess can use it later." It’s never too late to eat.”
Shang Ruyi was still hesitant in his heart.
Firstly, it is one thing for a person to like or dislike another person, but it is another thing to harm someone. Even if Chu Ruoyan does not like herself, she is not a person who can harm others; secondly, Even if she really couldn't recognize the person, she was such a person, and she wouldn't be so stupid as to tamper with the food she made by herself and have her eldest maid deliver it to her. This was a bit too stupid.
Tu Sheer seemed to notice that she was hesitating, and said softly: "Princess, we won't tell others, let Mr. Su take a look, it won't be a problem."
Shang Ruyi thought about it. Thinking about it, I think she was right.
He nodded and said: "That's fine."
So, Tu Sheer immediately stepped forward to open the lid of the food box and brought the box to Su Qinglan's eyes.
Su Qinglan looked down and saw four pieces of bright red hawthorn cake. Although they were not very delicately made, they were quite neat. With the bright and pleasant color and the sweet and sour taste that came out as soon as the lid was opened, she was so moved. People move their index fingers.
No matter how you look at it, they are all ordinary hawthorn cakes.
But after Su Qinglan took a look, she went over to smell it, and suddenly frowned: "Huh?"
Her move immediately made everyone around her nervous. Standing up, Su Qinglan apologized again, dipped the tip of her little finger into the powdered sugar sprinkled on the pastry surface, and put it to the tip of her tongue to taste.
My brows suddenly furrowed even more.
Tu Sheer asked nervously: "Master Su, is there a problem with this?"
Su Qinglan looked solemnly, raised her head to look at Shang Ruyi, and said in a deep voice: "Princess, this hawthorn cake Not edible. ”
< br>Shang Ruyi immediately said: "What's the problem?"
"These are not ordinary powdered sugar, they are also mixed with five elements grass ashes."
"Five elements grass?"
When Shang Ruyi heard this, he frowned. Tu Sheer and Chang Wan on the side didn't quite understand yet. Su Qinglan could tell that Shang Ruyi should have some medical skills, so she only explained to the two palace maids: "Five Elements Grass has the power to bring women into the uterus The smoothing and tightening effect, coupled with the hawthorn cake below -"
Tu Sheer hurriedly said: "Hawthorn cake, is there a problem?"
Su Qinglan shook her head and said: " There's nothing wrong with hawthorn However, pregnant women should not eat too much hawthorn, because hawthorn has the effect of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, while Five Elements Grass can tighten the uterus of pregnant women. Use these two things together, which may be beneficial to pregnant women, especially those in the early stages of pregnancy. There will be dangers of slipping."
"What!"
Hearing this, Tu Sheer immediately jumped up and said, "Okay, what a cruel person. ! ”
Su Qinglan said nothing, and looked at the fine powder on her fingertips - the five elements grass ash was beaten so finely that it was mixed with the powdered sugar, and even she could hardly distinguish it.
She raised her head to look at Shang Ruyi again, and saw that Shang Ruyi’s eyebrows had been twisted into a knot, and he was staring at the box of hawthorn cake with a heavy expression, as if he wanted to come over and take a closer look, but he was wary. Holding her pregnant body, she said to Su Qinglan: "Mr. Su, are you sure there is really five elements grass ashes in this?"
Su Qinglan said: "Wei Chen does not dare to lie."
Tu Sheer also became angry at this time and said angrily: "Princess, is this fake? Just now, Pan Qing forced you to take a bite in front of her, just to make you eat it and cause trouble! Damn it, I actually rewarded her with a piece of silver just now. It turns out that she is just as cruel as her master!"
Looking at her angry look, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but laugh.
Tu Sheer became even more angry and said: "Princess, are you still laughing?"
After saying that, she rushed over, picked up the box and was about to walk out. Shang Ruyi hurriedly stopped her: "What are you doing? ?"
Tu Sheer said: "No, if the King of Qin is not here, then I will go to them to settle the account, or show it to the emperor and let the emperor comment on it!" r>
Shang Ruyi shook his head helplessly and winked at Chang Wan. Chang Wan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Tu Sheer's sleeves to pull her back. Tu Sheer was still angry and struggled. He said: "Why are you pulling me?"
Chang Wan said: "Whether you want to tell King Qin or tell His Majesty, it has to be decided by the princess. It is up to you."
After saying that, he used some strength to pull her back and put the food box back in front of Shang Ruyi. However, he moved a little further away from her, and then said softly: "It's up to the princess to decide this matter."< br>
“…”
Shang Ruyi said nothing, only looking at the four brightly red hawthorn cakes.
After looking at it for a while, she suddenly said: "Where's the lid?"
Chang Wan hurriedly picked up the lid of the food box and handed it to her. Shang Ruyi took it and carefully lifted the lid. Put the lid back on the box, reach out your hand again, and carefully touch the exquisitely carved hollow patterns on the lid.
Tu Sheer couldn't help but said: "Princess..."
Shang Ruyi said: "Look, this is Xiang Fei Bamboo." Everyone was a little confused and could only follow her words and look down. Sure enough, Just now I thought the carvings on the food box were exquisite, but when I looked closely, I discovered that not only was there a clump of Xiangfei bamboo carved on the box, but there were also two graceful figures of women under the bamboo forest.
Su Qinglan said: "This is——"
Shang Ruyi said: "This is Empress E's daughter Ying."
As she spoke, she seemed to remember something again, and said with a smile: "By the way, when Empress Dowager Jiang summoned me to come to the palace to accompany her, she once gave me a stove to warm my hands. The carvings on it were also made by Empress E. , and such a clump of Xiangfei bamboo.”
Looking back now, from that time on, Queen Mother Jiang had already begun to pave the way for her daughter.
So, what she gave Shang Ruyi was something carved by Ehuang Nvying, and she told her more than once that Yu Wenye was very good to her and different from others; after that, when she left the palace, she was beaten again Chu Yang "intercepted" him halfway to Tinghe Tower. When he heard that Empress Dowager Jiang was so close to him, Chu Yang only sneered and told her that Empress Dowager Jiang was doing it because of "profit."
Now that I think about it, everything seems very clear.
I just didn’t understand it at the time.
But Tu Sheer said impatiently: "Empress Dowager Jiang, Empress Dowager Jiang is such a kind person, but her daughter is so cruel, and she actually uses this method to harm the princess. Why does the princess bring up old things?"
Shang Ruyi's fingertips were still carefully stroking the carvings, and said: "This thing is the same as Jiang's original The heater that the Queen Mother gave to me should be a set."
"..."
"The Queen Mother Jiang knows what she wants, and Mrs. Chu...she should use this box. It also has a profound meaning.”
“What a profound meaning?”
Su Qinglan, who was on the side, just listened quietly. At this time, her face was a little red, and she said softly: "Emperor Nvying works together with the same husband, but we work together and don't distinguish between each other."
Shang Ruyi nodded and said : "When Empress Dowager Jiang gave the stove to me, she hoped that I would have such a big heart; it is impossible for Mrs. Chu not to know her thoughts. You said before that there has been chaos in Jinyuyuan these days. Oops, I seem to be looking for something in the warehouse. If I guessed correctly, I should be looking for this thing left by Empress Dowager Jiang."
"..."
"And this. Mrs. Chu hasn't come to congratulate her for a few days. It's probably because she is learning to make this snack and wants to make it by herself and give it away. "
"..."
"In other words, although this gift is small, Mrs. Chu's thoughts are very deep."
As she spoke, her fingertips were deeply imprinted on a bamboo leaf, and she said: " It is a pity that such deep thoughts are used to 'poison' me."
Su Qinglan reacted quickly and said immediately: "What the princess means. Mrs. Chu just really wanted to send this gift. She carefully selected both the gift itself and the gift box, so she couldn’t possibly have the intention to harm the princess?”
Shang Ruyi nodded and said: "Besides, as a princess, she has golden branches and jade leaves, how can she understand pharmacology?"
"..."
"She didn't even know that pregnant women shouldn't eat too much hawthorn. She brought the hawthorn cake in plain sight, but if I was more careful, I wouldn't eat her box of snacks; not to mention things like Five Elements Grass Ash, I'm afraid she wouldn't even hear about it. I've never heard of it."
Hearing what she said, Su Qinglan nodded lightly: "That's right."
Tu Sheer and Chang Wan said to each other. After taking a look, they all realized that Shang Ruyi's words were reasonable, but Tu Sheer thought about it and said, "But there is something wrong with this box of things. If it wasn't she who did something, then it was Pan Qing? Otherwise, there could still be something wrong." Who is it?”
“…”
“I don’t care, this matter must be clarified.”
Seeing that she couldn't help but take out the arrogance that Shang Ruyi had grown up with, like a hen guarding her young, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but smile again, and Chang Wan on the side pulled her sleeve. , said softly: "Master Su is still here, please be more careful when you speak."
Tusheer could only pouted and took a step back.
Although Su Qinglan pursed her lips and suppressed her smile, she said to Shang Ruyi: "Princess, what Miss Sheer said makes sense. No matter what, this matter must be investigated. It’s clear, I’m under orders I came to protect the princess’s pregnancy. If something like this happens and the princess is really hurt, I will also be responsible.”
The implication is that if Shang Ruyi doesn’t figure it out, even if she wants to protect herself. Also report to the emperor.
Just to see how far Shang Ruyi is willing to make this matter.
Shang Ruyi said: "Of course I want to find out."
Tu Sheer immediately stepped forward: "Then Princess, what should we do?"
Shang Ruyi thought for a while, and then Reach out and carve the beautifully carved Open the lid, look at the bright red hawthorn cake underneath, and then say to Tusheer: "Take these things and pour them out."
"Huh?"
