Chapter 398 The Palace is Poisonous
Miaomiao entered the palace for the first time.
A little nervous.
The thought that she is the granddaughter of the current emperor and empress.
And a little excited.
He took the mooncake handed to him by the Queen’s grandmother and took a bite.
Chestnut flavor, very sweet and fragrant.
The cooking skills of the imperial chefs in the palace are quite good and the food is delicious.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, but we can still eat mooncakes. Only in the palace can we do that.
My aunt is usually too lazy to make it because she thinks there are too many steps and it is troublesome.
Miaomiao, who had just eaten half of her meal, suddenly stopped eating.
"Why don't you want to eat anymore?" Queen Cao asked the little guy who wanted to eat but was hesitant.
"Is this mooncake poisonous?" Miaomiao looked at the queen with lingering fear.
She held the mooncake, which had been bitten several times, in her hands, with sesame seeds and crumbs stuck to the corners of her mouth.
Oops!
Only now did I remember my mother's instructions before I entered the palace.
She actually forgot about it.
Wouldn't it be easy for someone like her to be poisoned to death living in the palace?
"Cough cough cough..." Princess Yuqing choked after taking a sip of tea.
Miaomiao finally reacted and said what was in her heart.
He also coughed twice awkwardly.
Queen Cao:......
Not bad, not bad. Being on guard is a good thing.
With a face like this, it's easy to be envied.
But I only realized it halfway through eating it. If it was really poisonous, it would be too late.
So cute!
She picked up a piece of mooncake and put it in her mouth, eating with the little guy, "You've already eaten half of it. If it was poisonous, you would have died long ago. It's not poisonous, so eat it with confidence."
She prepared the mooncakes early in the morning because she knew her daughter was going to enter the palace.
No girl entered the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year.
I guess it’s to accompany this little guy.
She didn't make many mooncakes to begin with, and Yuqing didn't eat a single bite. Instead, the little guy almost ate all of them.
He was actually afraid that her mooncakes were poisonous!
Miaomiao saw that the Queen grandmother was eating cakes, so she started eating too.
I ate mooncakes, chestnuts, and fruits.
The main thing is that apart from eating, she doesn’t know what else to do.
The fruits in the Queen's Palace are all very fresh, and there are many out-of-season fruits.
Summer fruits such as grapes and lychees.
The fact that we can eat lychees at this time and place is all thanks to the king for making the beauty smile.
Food preservation technology has taken a big step forward.
My mother and aunt should be very interested in this preservation technology.
Perhaps in ancient times when there was no air express delivery, fresh bamboo shoots and various fresh mushrooms such as chicken mushrooms from Jiangzhou could always be placed on the tables of dignitaries in the capital.
Then my mother would make a fortune.
Miaomiao's eyes were fixed on a large lychee that was still stained with water.
These fruits are put out there for people to eat. They can’t be poisoned, right?
Watching my mother and the queen talking.
Miaomiao reached out and took the big lychee.
It was icy cold, probably just taken out of the ice cup.
I was caught off guard and received a slap on the hand.
"You can't eat it now, it's too cold..." Princess Yuqing quickly asked the palace maid to take the fruit away.
Miaomiao had an illusion.
It felt like A-niang and Princess Mother merged into one at this moment.
Or perhaps the princess's mother has been deeply poisoned.
The queen felt her daughter was being a little harsh, and said to Miaomiao, "It's okay to eat one."
Princess Yuqing frowned, "Mother, after eating one, I'll want to eat a second, and then a third and a fourth. Miaomiao has a weak spleen and stomach, so she gets upset easily."
Queen Cao:......
It's really weird.
I never thought that one day I would see my daughter worrying about her children. I always felt that she was still a child.
I have never seen her treat Jiayue like this before.
As long as the little thing doesn't cry or make a fuss, everything will be fine and we can let her do whatever she wants.
Yuqing also accused her, the grandmother, of being too harsh on the child.
Now it is like this, is this what it means to be so deeply loved and so harshly criticized?
The queen looked at the little one who was looking at her eagerly and handed her a piece of dessert.
Miaomiao shook her head. "My Lady, can I take the grapes away?"
"Can."
"Where's the lychee?"
"Can."
"Can I call you grandma?"
Empress Cao: "...Yes...."
Did the Queen's grandmother recognize her?
Miaomiao called out softly, "Grandma."
But in the blink of an eye, her grandmother wanted to drive her away, "Take Miaomiao back, and don't come to the palace unless you have anything to do in the future."
Miaomiao felt that her grandmother, the Queen, seemed to know something.
After all, the person who can sit in this position is simply the king of the harem.
She has lived to this age, and even the emperor is afraid of her.
But not every queen can do that.
This shows that she and the emperor are no longer just husband and wife, but competitors, and they probably dislike each other.
No one can kill anyone else.
Otherwise, why would only King Chen be under house arrest for half a year? He would probably be released during the Chinese New Year.
Princess Yuqing's smile froze on her face. "Mother, why?"
It is obvious that the Queen Mother has recognized Miaomiao and likes her very much.
The Queen gave her daughter a meaningful look and asked, "Don't you know what's going on?"
Having said that, neither of them exposed the truth.
"But I still want to take Miaomiao to meet my father." Princess Yuqing said stubbornly.
The Queen's face turned cold, and she said helplessly, "Do you remember that Doctor Feng?"
"Remember, didn't my mother hand the case over to my father yesterday, and my father handed it over to the Dali Temple for trial?" Princess Yuqing also felt something was amiss.
Normally, King Zichen should be imprisoned in the Dali Temple by now, so why is he just under house arrest?
Empress Cao looked up at her daughter and said, "She changed her confession and insisted that it was Prince Su who ordered it."
"What?" Princess Yuqing suddenly stood up. "Mother, how could this happen?"
"Who in the world do you think has the ability to make a prisoner detained in the Dali Temple change his confession overnight?"
"It's father..." Princess Yuqing couldn't say the last word.
She couldn't believe that her father would disregard the life and death of the crown prince to protect Prince Chen.
Didn’t Your Majesty see how badly Prince Chen harmed the Crown Prince?
"Didn't Father dislike Prince Chen and his mother before? How could it be..."
Empress Cao sneered, "Your father does dislike Concubine Chen, but he dislikes me even more. He didn't depose me before because of your grandfather, and he can't depose me now because of the opposition of the court officials. He even protected the murderer who poisoned your brother. Do you think he will give us a chance to live?"
Princess Yuqing fell into the chair. She didn't expect her father to be like this.
Could it be that the Emperor really intends to depose the Crown Prince and enthrone Prince Chen?
How could a sinister villain like King Chen sit in that position, and how could he let Xiao Wu go?
My father is really old and his eyes are blurry.
Empress Cao pulled the little girl to her daughter's side and said, "Take Miaomiao back with you. Don't come to the palace unless necessary. Stay in your princess's mansion. If you really want to see someone, go see the prince. He keeps talking about you."
"Mother..."
Princess Yuqing originally thought that this side had a sure victory.
No matter how meticulous the plan is, it is still no match for the unpredictable will of the Lord.
Miaomiao was originally looking forward to meeting her grandfather, the emperor, but after hearing this, she hurried away.
Saving your life is important.
When she left, the Queen Mother gave her many gifts, saying that they would be her future dowry.
Miaomiao actually had a feeling of separation between life and death.
I couldn't help wanting to hug the queen, but there was nothing inside her wide robe.
She is clearly the most noble and revered queen, yet she still makes people feel distressed.
She hugged the queen's neck and kissed her on the cheek, "Grandma, you are too thin. You need to eat more, otherwise you won't be able to hold Miaomiao."
"Hahaha...Okay, grandma will listen to you and eat more." Queen Cao laughed heartily.
She hasn't been this happy in a long time.
Walking out of the Queen's bedroom, Princess Yuqing looked back at the towering imperial palace.
This is the place where she grew up.
A place she considers home.
There was a deep feeling of suffocation.
