The Emperor’s Beloved Ugly Girl

Get up, Zhong Zhiheng nodded, and while lifting his foot across the threshold, said casually, Has the Empress Dowager eaten?

Reporting to Lord Long Live, dinner has just been prepared in the small kitchen. The Queen Mother heard that Lord Long Live is coming, so please invite Lord Long Live to eat together. Bi Qiao said with a smile.

It just so happens that I also want to come to the Queen Mother to have a meal. Zhong Zhiheng curled his lips and walked slowly into the hall, Queen Mother, my son has come to your place to have a meal.

Today is rare, the queen mother smiled and got up from the soft couch, put down the Buddhist beads in her hand, walked to Zhong Zhiheng, stretched out her hand to straighten the knotted jade pendant on Zhong Zhiheng's waist, and then pulled Zhong Zhiheng Walking towards the side hall with his hand, he said, It's been a long time since the Ai family had a meal with you, so you should spend more time talking with the Ai family today.

Yes, my son also wants to spend more time with his mother, Zhong Zhiheng said, and while sitting down with the queen mother, he personally made a bowl of whitebait and water shield soup for the queen mother and put it in front of her. Time, mother, you have a taste.

The queen mother loves two dishes in her life, one is silver fish and water shield soup, the other is grilled yellow sheep, spring white silver fish and water shield, and autumn roast yellow sheep. For so many years, Zhong Zhiheng and Heping Xiwang have never left behind. The two brothers This tacit understanding has also been maintained.

It's really delicious, the Queen Mother stirred the whitebait and water shield soup in the bowl, took a sip, and couldn't help feeling, Just because of this whitebait and water shield soup, I don't know how many horses and people I will run to death. It's really extravagant. .”

Water shield only grows in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and whitebait is not a product of the capital. These two are the most inconvenient to store and can only be eaten fresh. Therefore, a lot of manpower and material resources are spent every year for this whitebait soup. The so-called delicacies of mountains and seas , but that's all.

As long as the queen mother loves to eat, what does it matter if it's a few horses or a few people? Zhong Zhiheng said as he filled a bowl and drank slowly.

It's just that the queen mother couldn't drink anymore, she put down the bowl in her hand, looked at Zhong Zhiheng, and asked after a long while: Is the emperor worried?

No, Zhong Zhiheng also put down the bowl in his hand, took the handkerchief from Bi Qiao and gently wiped his mouth, looked at the Queen Mother, and said calmly, Prince Pingxi is coming back, and my son came here specially The queen mother said.

What, what? Ling'er is going back to Beijing? The queen mother was stunned immediately, and then there was a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth. She has always been the most dignified and noble woman, but at this time she couldn't hide her excitement, Is he really Are you coming back?

King Pingxi's name is Zhong Zhiling.

Zhong Zhiheng looked at the Queen Mother's hands tightly holding the chopsticks, and when he spoke again, his voice became even weaker: Yes, the Queen Mother's 70th birthday is coming soon, King Pingxi wants to come back this year to pay respects to the Queen Mother.

This child, finally... The queen mother couldn't hide her excitement. After all, she hadn't seen her youngest son for decades. Her eyes were flushed for a while. She took a breath and looked at Zhong Zhiheng again, It can be said When is it coming?

At the beginning of July, Zhong Zhiheng said slowly, while looking at the sticky whitebait and water shield soup, he said coldly, Should be able to arrive before Siyao's memorial day.

The Empress Dowager's face froze suddenly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth disappeared instantly. She looked at Zhong Zhiheng's indifferent face, her lips trembled a few times, as if she wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it.

The queen mother must miss the seventh brother very much, right? Zhong Zhiheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the queen mother in silence, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and smiled faintly, It must have been so many years since we saw each other.

Yes, I haven't seen you for so many years. The queen mother nodded, pursing her lips, and added, The Ai family is the same as the emperor, and they all miss King Pingxi.

Really? Zhong Zhiheng laughed even bigger, and while throwing the handkerchief on the table, he got up and walked out.

Slave and servant send the emperor off! Bi Qiao was too busy to salute.

Bi Qiao, the queen mother sat in a daze, and finally opened her mouth after a while. She looked at Bi Qiao in panic, Do you think the emperor will attack Lao Qi?

No, Queen Mother, you don't worry too much! Bi Qiao came over in a hurry, and while supporting the Queen Mother's back, she comforted, Pingxi King is the leading pillar of the Zhou Dynasty, and he has been guarding it for decades. In northern Xinjiang, with his presence, Turkic people dare not violate the border. No matter how much Long Live God has a grudge against King Pingxi, he dare not attack easily. The Northwest Army must only obey the orders of King Pingxi. If King Pingxi returns to the capital What went wrong, isn’t the Great Zhou’s northern border messed up? Long live Lord is not a fool, Queen Mother, just keep your heart in your stomach!”
