Chapter 336 I miss my mother and the cakes
Life in Wutong Garden was too comfortable before, but from the time the emperor was assassinated until now, Ji Qingwu's heart has been in suspense for several days.
It wasn't until Su Fengyue was arrested tonight that she felt finally at peace.
Ji Qingwu turned over with the quilt in his arms, staring unfocused at the pear wood carvings on the headboard.
The evidence in the Su Fengyue case is solid, and only the finishing touches remain. The big fish in the court has been caught, and the disturbed water will remain muddy for a while before it becomes clear again.
Next, Emperor Wu Su would begin the reckoning.
The Empress Dowager’s actions did not disappoint the Emperor, and Wei Ting even gave him a "big surprise".
Ji Qingwu married into the Wei family and her last name is Ji, so it doesn't seem like she can stay out of it.
She didn't know how she fell asleep, but she knew she was woken up by someone.
A soft and fragrant ball was squirming in her quilt, successfully making the four corners of the quilt leak air.
Isn’t it said that a daughter is her mother’s little cotton-padded jacket?
Ji Qingwu rubbed his sore eyes and hugged the little girl who was trying to stir up trouble in his quilt.
"Chirp, sleep a little longer..."
Her voice was still hazy and nasal, and it didn't sound right.
Jiujiu said in a clear voice: "Mother, it's already noon. If you sleep any longer, it will be dark."
Ji Qingwu opened his eyes a little in disbelief, stretched his wrist out from under the bed curtain and lifted it a little.
Dazzling light came in through the tiny gap, and the fair white wrist was retracted in an instant.
Jiujiu lay on top of her, with her little face next to her ear, and called softly, "Mother."
Ji Qingwu hugged her with both hands, and his eyelids closed again as if they weighed a thousand pounds.
She asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiujiu nuzzled her and said, "Mother, can you stay with me for the whole day?"
Ji Qingwu's sleepiness was immediately driven away. Jiujiu was rarely so clingy. She opened her eyes wide and asked in surprise and doubt.
"Is there anyone bullying you in the Wei family?"
Jiujiu shook his head and said, "No one bullied me, I just missed my mother, and I also missed..."
The little girl pouted her mouth in grievance and looked at her with her black pupils.
Ji Qingwu immediately hugged her tightly with a distressed look and promised: "What else do you want? Mother will accompany you to do it today."
Jiujiu said, "I want to eat the candied haws sold on the street, I want to eat the custard made by Nanny Li, but what I want most is the candied cakes in the palace."
Ji Qingwu looked at the little girl with eager eyes, it turned out that she wanted to eat something delicious.
Okay, just eat it!
The little girl is in the stage of growing up, and a good appetite also means good health.
Ji Qingwu called Xuemei and told her to go to the street to buy two strings of gourds. He also sent Lanzhi back to the Ji family and asked Li Ma to make a portion of yogurt.
Finally, we still need the sweet cakes made by the imperial kitchen in the palace.
Ji Qingwu walked into the yard, she didn't know where Sanchuan Sihai usually hid.
She first walked around the yard and surveyed possible hiding places.
Han Zhi, who was in charge of cleaning, came up and said, "Madam, what are you looking for? I will help you."
Ji Qingwu said, "No need, you go down first, I'll take a walk in the yard, I don't want anyone to disturb me."
After everyone left, Ji Qingwu walked to the rockery that formed the landscape setting in the courtyard.
He whispered, "Sanchuan."
Sure enough, a black figure immediately jumped out from above his head. It was Sihai.
He had been following Ji Qingwu since she appeared in the yard.
Si Hai said: "What do you want?"
Ji Qingwu asked, "Si Hai, can you go to the palace and get a piece of candy cake?"
Sihai didn't expect it was about this matter, and thought it was a message to the emperor.
He hesitated and said, "The Imperial Meals and other foods are all under the charge of the Imperial Household Department. I can only go and ask."
"Go ask first."
Ji Qingwu also gave the light blue purse he had prepared to Sihai, thinking that according to the previous practice, Li Yuzong would definitely fill the purse and return it.
Sihai came back to report very quickly, faster than Lanzhi and Xuemei.
There was a knock on the window.
The eyes of the mother and daughter sitting on the couch lit up.
Ji Qingwu pushed open the window, and Sihai saw two pairs of eyes full of desire, and lowered his head in shame.
He returned the deflated purse with both hands.
Jiujiu's face fell, and Ji Qingwu asked in surprise: "Why didn't you get it?"
Si Hai hung his head and said, "Eunuch Li said that things in the palace cannot be taken on behalf of others. They must be taken in person."
Sihai didn't specify who wanted to eat the sugar cake, so Li Yuzong assumed it was Ji Qingwu.
Emperor Wu Su returned to the Qinzheng Hall at midnight. Morning meetings were held one after another, and officials came and went in groups of five or six times.
Li Yuzong was also very busy. He wanted to persuade the emperor to take a rest and take care of his health, but he really didn't have the courage to do so.
It just so happened that people from all over the world came looking for him, so he came up with this idea on his own initiative.
Li Yuzong was standing at the door of Qinzheng Hall, looking across, as if he was eagerly waiting for someone.
Xiao Dongzi said, "Master, it's already this hour and the Emperor hasn't had lunch yet. Even a strong man can't stand it, especially since he was seriously injured a while ago."
Li Yuzong had a worried look on his face and said, "Do you think I don't know? But at this moment, who dares to persuade me?"
The emperor had risked his life to get to this moment, so of course he had to clean up all the remnants of the court in one fell swoop. All the previous forbearance was for waiting for this moment.
It is precisely because he cannot understand how difficult it is for Emperor Wu Su that Li Yuzong feels conflicted.
But serving Emperor Wu Su at his meals and before his bedtime was his duty as the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department.
Li Yuzong tried to persuade him once, but when he saw the fierce look of Emperor Wu Su, he was "killed" back with sweat all over his back.
He was looking forward to it, hoping that the ancestor would come quickly.
Who would have thought that what came was another little ancestor.
When Sihai put the little girl carrying the shriveled pink and blue purse in front of Li Yuzong, his old eyes looked a little dull.
"This, this, this..." His usually fluent speech became tangled.
Instead of someone coming to save my life, someone came to demand my life. I don’t even have the time to coax or take care of the child.
Li Yuzong asked persistently: "...Miss Ji didn't come?"
Si Hai Dao: "That's what Miss Ji said, she wanted to let her daughter eat well and have fun before sending her back."
"Miss Ji has something else important to do."
Li Yuzong asked: "What's the important matter?"
What is the important matter that requires sending the children to the palace?
Sihai scratched his head and said, "Catch up on some sleep."
Li Yuzong's eyes darkened, and he said, "Miss Ji, don't you know that the emperor is so busy that he can't even drink water?"
"Ms. Ji also said that if you feel that taking care of a child is too hard, you can also -"
Li Yuzong's eyes lit up again, and he asked hurriedly, "What can I do? Tell me now!"
Si Hai Dao: "You can also send His Highness Yuan Heng to her place. She has prepared candied haws and osmanthus cakes. You can have as much as you want."
Another group of officials came out of the Qinzheng Hall.
Inside are the unshakable Emperor Wu Su, Lu Juan and Duan Mingfeng.
