Chapter 183 Who Sent the Fish
"Yes, don't you think this day is great too? It's New Year's Eve, what a joyous occasion."
"It's a pity that my uncle never celebrates his birthday."
Bai Qinghuan found it strange, because given the location where Chi Ming was, it would be appropriate to hold a banquet.
"What's the reason?"
"I don't know either."
Bai Qinghuan got on the carriage thoughtfully. Just because he was so on her side tonight, she should give him a gift.
But it’s only an hour before midnight, and it’s too late to prepare anything else.
So after saying goodbye to Li Changle, he asked the coachman to turn to the back door of the Regent's Palace.
Cining Palace
Chi Ming released the Queen Mother's mute point: "If you have anything to say, you can say it now."
"Chi Ming, I am your mother, how dare you treat me like this, do you want to kill me?"
Chi Ming waved his sleeves and the scissors shot out.
"when..."
The scissors were inserted directly into the pillar, almost halfway in, making a heart-pounding sound.
The Queen Mother hid herself, holding her head and screaming: "Chi Ming, you just want to kill me!"
Chi Ming pulled her out and looked her straight in the eyes:
"If I had said what my mother wanted to say in Linde Palace just now, have you thought about the consequences?"
The Queen Mother did not know where she got the courage from, and retorted:
"You dare to do it, and you won't let me say it?"
"You're also afraid of being stabbed in the back, right?"
"Poor Yuyan, she's just a little girl, how could you treat her like this?"
"Chi Ming, is your heart made of stone?"
"I don't care. You should withdraw your order now and marry Yuyan, and this matter will be over."
His Majesty could not suppress his anger: "Mother, Yun Yuyan has already had an affair with someone else. What do you want to do by giving her to Chi Ming?"
The eldest princess felt that her worldview was completely shattered: "Is the Queen Mother crazy?"
"You are crazy, you unfilial daughter."
"It was Bai Qinghuan who caused the adultery. Is chastity so important? Love is the most important thing."
"Yuyan loves you so much, you can't treat her like this."
Chi Ming knew that his mother had become unmoved.
"My sister is right. I'm afraid that our mother has gone mad. You should just spend your remaining years in the Cining Palace."
"Brother, sister, let's go."
When the Queen Mother saw that they were really leaving, she became extremely anxious.
Compromise: "It's ok to marry Yuyan as a concubine."
"Heh~ So in the heart of the Queen Mother, her son is so worthless."
The emperor couldn't help coughing several times: "You are really a good mother to the three of us."
"Come here, guard the Cining Palace. No one is allowed to enter or leave, not even rats. If you can't do it, bring your head to me."
"If the mother wants to die, there are scissors there."
"Besides, Concubine Yun is still not at peace even after being imprisoned. It would be better for her to be banished to the cold palace."
The eldest princess agreed: "My brother is right."
Desheng went to do it quickly.
The Queen Mother yelled and cursed the three men for being unfilial.
The three siblings ignored the empress dowager and left the Cining Palace.
Walking on the road, the three of them felt as pitiful as motherless children.
Fortunately, they still have each other and there is some comfort in their hearts.
The Saint said apologetically:
"Chi Ming, today was supposed to be your birthday, but it turned out like this. Go back and have some peace and quiet."
The eldest princess also felt sorry for her brother: "Yes, I sent your birthday gift to your house before I entered the palace. I'll ask Xishun to stew it when I get back to nourish you."
"Royal sister..."
"I know, you're going to say you don't need to take supplements, but anger is harmful to your health, so you still need to drink some."
Chi Ming agreed reluctantly. What a shame, his royal sister always treated him like a child.
But what's with the guilty look in the emperor's sister's eyes?
I have a feeling that there is something fishy about the things she sent over, but there is no evidence yet.
"Brother and sister, go back and rest."
"Well, I'll go sit with the Queen."
......
Regent's Palace
Bai Qinghuan's arrival made Xishun overjoyed.
"County Master, you are here, please come in!"
"The prince hasn't come back yet, please sit down and have a cup of tea."
"Today is the prince's birthday. I will make him a bowl of noodles."
"Ah? Oh!"
Xishun didn't react for a moment.
The county lady said she was going to make noodles for the prince?
There is a folk belief that people eat longevity noodles on their birthdays.
But over the years, the prince has received countless gifts that are priceless.
But no one remembered to make him a bowl of noodles.
As he thought about it, tears were about to come out.
The county lady cares so much about the prince, how can the prince not like her.
If she became the mistress of the palace, the prince would have someone who understands his feelings.
"The kitchen is over here, please follow me."
To get to the kitchen, one had to pass through the front yard. Bai Qinghuan saw several large vats that were somewhat blocking the way.
"What's this?"
Xishun hesitated, but still said it.
He was so happy just now that he forgot that the fish had not been processed yet.
He should have taken the county lady by another route.
I regret bringing these fish into the house.
"Someone brought some fish this morning, saying that the prince would like it. I didn't want to accept it, but those people put it down and left."
"I felt sorry for these fish. They would freeze to death if they were left outside, so I had them brought in to wait for Your Majesty's disposal."
"Who sent it?"
Giving fish as a birthday gift is also a very unique gift.
She walked over to the tank and looked down.
Even without a light, you can still see the snow-white fish swimming in the water.
I reached out and touched the water; it was warm.
“Is this a white jade butterfly fish?”
This fish is rather delicate and will die quickly if the water temperature is not suitable.
Xishun also had a hard time, as he needed to keep changing the water for the fish.
"County Lady, you are really well-informed. I think that's the name."
"Who sent it?"
"..."
"Um?"
Seeing that he couldn't get away with being vague, Xishun could only say, "It's the Yun Mansion."
He didn't dare say it was Yun Yuyan, as this would only cause trouble for the county lady.
"Oh~"
Xishun's heart was filled with alarm bells. Oh, County Princess, what do you mean?
"County Master, are you still going to the kitchen?"
You won’t be angry and refuse to make noodles for the prince, right?
"Come on, catch a fish and bring it to the kitchen."
"yes."
Xishun didn't dare to ask more questions. The county lord asked him to chop fish, so he didn't dare to ask.
"Why did Yun Yuyan give the prince fish?"
"Maybe you've seen the glass fish tank on the prince's desk."
"Oh~"
Because of the glass fish tank she gave him, Yun Yuyan misunderstood and thought Chi Ming liked fish?
What a beautiful misunderstanding.
But it was a good bargain for her.
It is said that the white jade butterfly fish has tender meat and tastes fresh and delicious. Tonight, she is in for a treat.
......
Chi Ming returned to the mansion and wanted to ask what the imperial sister had sent, but he was almost at the bedroom and still hadn't seen Xishun.
"Where's Xishun?"
Shu Feng also said, "That's right, how did Xishun become an official? I wonder if the prince has returned?"
The dark guard in the dark said, "Your Majesty, Xishun is in the kitchen."
Chi Ming had a bad feeling in his heart. Could it be that Xishun had already stewed the things that the imperial sister sent?
He turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
