"Queen Mother."
After Su Liuye and others went out, the grandmother standing next to her came forward and asked, "Are you tired?"
"not yet."
The concubine shook her head, looked at the pastries on the table, and sighed leisurely, "No wonder Kang Le always runs out these days, and even takes the maid to make trouble in Xiankelai. I'm afraid she already knew that Lu An was in Xiankelai." Come."
"What the concubine means is that the princess wants to bring Teacher Lu into the palace to meet the queen mother?"
"I'm afraid it's impossible to enter the palace, but Kang Le knows that the Queen Mother likes to eat Lu An's cooking, so he wants to find Lu An and try his best to please the Queen Mother."
"Toffee, what should we do?" Nanny asked worriedly.
She has been with the concubine for many years, and also followed the concubine to retreat in the temple.
Not long ago, the Fifth Prince's Mansion found the long-lost princess and sent a letter to the concubine. The concubine was also surprised. She was not the biological mother of the fifth prince, and she did not even know that the little princess given birth to by the fifth prince was abducted.
After returning to the palace, she realized that it didn't matter who the so-called princess was, it was the Fifth Prince's Palace that wanted to use this opportunity to please the Queen Mother.
The concubine sighed. I don't know if it is a good thing for the Fifth Prince's Palace to indulge such a princess. In the past, the Fifth Prince's Palace never interfered in these matters, but now they are able to form cliques.
Hearing her sigh, Mammy quickly comforted her, "Taifei, don't worry, the prince will handle these matters naturally. The servant has also asked about this matter, and the prince and princess have had several encounters because of the princess's affairs, but the princess I identified the princess’s identity, but the prince didn’t believe it.”
"Now the prince has also been scolded by the emperor because of the prince, but the emperor currently has no intention of pursuing the prince. I think the emperor will not really be angry with the prince."
"Mommy, I'm afraid you think too simplistically."
The concubine sighed and shook her head, knowing that the matter was too complicated and it would be useless to say more now.
She has given the golden leaf to Su Liuye, which can also play some role at the critical moment.
Although she had not asked about the affairs of the court for a long time, she had a vague feeling that something big was going to happen soon.
Mammy knew that the matter involved the royal family, so she did not dare to say anything more and helped the concubine to rest.
When I looked out the window, it was snowing again.
Su Liuye and Qin Lian returned to the house, their shoulders already covered with a thin layer of snow.
Uncle Zhou made hot tea for them, and Su Liuye was chatting with Mr. Lu about the Queen Mother on the way. Speaking of how much the concubine liked today's dishes, Mr. Lu felt a sense of pride on his face.
Seeing his appearance, Su Liuye was completely sure that Mr. Lu had always cooked for the concubine back then, so he took the initiative to ask for help just now.
Su Liuye handed him the golden leaves given by the concubine, "Grandpa Lu, this is the concubine's reward, and one of them is for you."
Mr. Lu's expression suddenly became solemn, "Is this a reward from the concubine? Apart from these, did the concubine say anything else?"
"No, the concubine just chatted with us for a few words. She seemed to be tired and went back to the room to rest."
Mr. Lu looked at Jin Ye and pondered for a long time, then suddenly sneered and cursed, "Okay! With this thing, the old man no longer has to deal with that princess!"
After hearing what he said, Su Liuye suddenly realized.
The concubine specially rewarded this golden leaf for this reason! She didn't want Mr. Lu to be harassed by Zhou Yun'er again. Since Zhou Yun'er was the princess of the Fifth Prince's Palace, she would definitely be able to recognize the concubine's token.
Seeing the golden leaves, Zhou Yun'er didn't dare to mess around.
Su Liuye asked curiously, "Grandpa Lu, I knew before that Princess Kangle has always wanted to find you, so do you know the reason why she is looking for you?"
"Of course I do."
The old man snorted and actually started talking to her, "I used to be a royal cook in the palace. I believe you, the girl, already know this, right?"
Facing the old man's look, Su Liuye couldn't help but smile awkwardly. It seemed that the old man had long known that she had inquired about his past.
The old man did not hide it, and said bluntly, "Old man, I liked to make these pickles when I was in the palace, but other royal chefs said that they were poor and sour food and should not be shown in front of the nobles in the palace, but the late emperor just liked this one. , and later, the Queen Mother loved to eat it."
"The princess came to me just because she wanted to find the Queen Mother's favorite food, to please her, and to please the Queen Mother. I have been away from the palace for so long, so naturally I don't want to have anything to do with it anymore."
This was the first time Su Liuye heard Mr. Lu talk about this matter. She quickly picked up the clues, "Don't the concubines like to eat?"
"Of course the concubine doesn't like it. The concubine doesn't like to eat sour food. She is looking for you this time. She probably knows that the shop belongs to me and wants to use looking for you as an excuse to send this piece of gold leaf to me. Here, next time that princess comes to see me, just show her the gold leaves."
"In that case, the Queen Mother doesn't want you, Grandpa Lu, to come into contact with Princess Kangle."
"Of course I don't want to! This princess is not a real princess, she is just a temporary replacement!" Mr. Lu was full of disdain, "She wants to be her fake princess, old man, I have nothing to say. , but this fake guy is restless and comes here to harass the old man all day long, trying his best to please the Queen Mother!"
"Grandpa Lu, how do you know she is fake?" Su Liuye was shocked. How come so many people know about this?
"Of course I know." Mr. Lu said, "I followed my master to the palace as a cook when I was five years old. I know many things clearly." When he said this, he looked at Su Liuye, "But I can't do this. Let me tell you girl, this matter involves too much.”
Su Liuye opened her mouth, naturally knowing that Mr. Lu was worried about dragging her into it, and that the old man didn't know about the grudge between her and Zhou Yun'er.
After thinking for a while, she simply told Mr. Lu everything. After all, the old man knew more things than she thought, and she might even get more information from him.
"You and the princess are from the same village?" Mr. Lu was surprised.
"Yes." Speaking of this, Su Liuye felt annoyed, "When I was still in Zhoujia Village, I had no idea that Zhou Yun'er had anything to do with the Fifth Prince's Mansion. That day, the executive's family came to the town to pick up Zhou Yun, and I I only found out about this when Lianlian went back to the village to find out that all the elders in the village were Zhou Yun'er, the daughter of the Zhou family."
"Girl, this matter is not as simple as you think. Even if you find the evidence, the Fifth Prince's Palace will not give up Princess Kangle easily." Mr. Lu took a sip of tea, "Didn't the concubine also give you a gold leaf? ? You put the gold leaf away, this gold leaf can save your life at a critical moment."
"I know."
Su Liuye responded, feeling his heart heavy.
