I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight
Chapter 171 Scoundrel
"Su Minglang!"
"Oops! I'm sorry. I dropped the ball." Su Minglang looked at the teacup lying on the ground, which had already been torn into pieces, but there was no trace of guilt on her face.
"If your majesty is angry, I will punish you as you please, but please allow me to fill my stomach and die a full death first, how about that?"
"If you are hungry, go back to the palace and eat." The queen suppressed the anger in her heart and sat back calmly.
Just as Su Minglang picked up another teacup and was thinking about whether to try again, the Queen Mother saw through her thoughts first, "Su Minglang!"
"Eat!" When Su Minglang heard the Queen's tone, instead of putting the cup down, she lifted the cup up and moved it away from the table, as if if the Queen didn't agree, she would let go and let the cup experience the free fall as well.
"You!" The queen choked. Why didn't she realize that Su Minglang had some rogue qualities before?
"Let them send them in." The queen waved her hand resignedly. If she continued to argue with Su Minglang, she would surely be pissed off to death by her.
Su Minglang obediently put the teacup back, walked to the door and waved to the people outside.
Xiaozhu's heart sank when she heard the Queen's stern shout just now, but she didn't expect that Su Minglang could really get the Queen to open the door.
Su Minglang couldn't help but tremble when she saw Xiaozhu's eyes flashing green when she looked at her. Why did she feel as if she was being remembered by her?
The servants quickly served the food and then tactfully left. Only two palace maids, Xiaozhu and Xiaoye, were left in the room. When Su Minglang came, he asked them to send his portion as well.
Although the dishes on the table could not be described as delicacies from land and sea, they were still delicious in color, aroma and taste. Su Minglang knew that the Queen was probably not in the mood to eat, so he specially ordered the kitchen to prepare some light medicinal food.
"Come here, Your Majesty, try this." Su Minglang stood up and personally made a bowl of porridge for the queen and placed it in front of her. The white porridge was dotted with a bit of green, and it was a refreshing fragrance in contrast to the heavy oil and salt of the wild food.
"I know that Your Majesty has a poor appetite, so I went to the kitchen to cook some porridge." She pushed a plate of side dishes in front of the Queen. The emerald green side dishes were sprinkled with chili peppers, and the sour and refreshing taste made people's mouths water as soon as they took a bite.
The queen scooped a spoonful of clear porridge and paired it with a side dish. The sourness and sweetness of the porridge melted gently in her mouth. The porridge neutralized the spiciness of the side dish very well, leaving only the freshness and fragrance, and the side dish also made up for the monotonous taste of the porridge. There was a cold wind outside, but with a bowl of hot porridge in her hand, the warm feeling radiated from her stomach to her whole body.
The queen nodded and took another bite. Xiaozhu was relieved to see that she was finally willing to eat, and looked at Su Minglang with gratitude.
Su Minglang had a good appetite. Since the queen didn't eat such heavy dishes, she ate them with relish without any hesitation.
"You guys should sit down and eat too." The Queen put down her porridge bowl and said to Xiaoye and the other person standing beside her. She turned her head and looked at Su Minglang: "I know that the Zhaoyi Palace has never been strict with rules, so there is no need to be too restrained here."
Xiao Ye hesitated for a moment and looked at Su Minglang. Seeing her nod slightly, he thanked the queen. He and Xiao Zhu brought stools and sat next to their respective masters.
"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"
The queen slowly spoke after finishing a bowl of porridge. She felt warm in her stomach and her mood improved a lot.
"Ahem!" Su Minglang cleared her throat and said, "It's nothing serious. I'm just curious about the Queen's illness."
"My illness is an old one. It's no secret." The Queen frowned in confusion. "What do you want to ask?"
"I am talking about the cause of the disease. Why did the Queen get this disease?"
Su Minglang ignored the Queen's increasingly furrowed brows and continued, "I heard from Master Wen that Your Majesty's body was not so fragile before."
"I just want to know what happened in the Prince's Mansion back then?"
"Did Shuyi ask you to ask?" The Queen asked back. She sighed slightly, "I know he has always been curious about the ins and outs of this matter. I have tried to stop him from talking many times. I thought he had forgotten it long ago, but I didn't expect that he still remembers it now."
"Young Master Wen is indeed curious, but I am asking just because I want to know." Su Minglang shook her head and poured a cup of hot tea and brought it to the Queen.
"Master Wen really cares about the queen, you should be more honest with him."
Su Minglang recalled the look on Wen Ji's face when he asked him for help. This man, who seemed like he would not bend even if the sky fell, lowered his head in front of him and said, "I'll do whatever you want me to do."
This is very different from the image of a scholar with a lofty character and a strong sense of integrity that she had in mind.
"It's just an old story." The Queen pondered for a moment and slowly uttered four words.
Su Minglang knew that she was not going to say anything, so she did not continue to ask and instead changed the subject, "Your Majesty's riding skills today really surprised me."
"I just wonder if your Majesty's body can handle today's ordeal."
"I can't take it anymore." The queen smiled bitterly. She said that she locked herself in the room today because, firstly, she was saddened by the scene and didn't want others to see her fragile appearance, and secondly, she knew that she would have an attack today and didn't want to make others worry.
"I added qi-regulating herbs to the porridge, which will make you feel better at night." Su Minglang pointed to the Zhongbai porridge.
"I didn't taste any medicine in the food?" The Queen was a little surprised. "Su Zhaoyi is really good at eating. I am ashamed to say that she is not as good as me."
The Queen recalled the night when she met Su Minglang in the Imperial Garden. She was cooking soup in the yard with the palace maids around her. Although she was a Zhaoyi, she did not have the airs of a master at all, and was very protective of the young palace maids around her.
The more the queen looked at Su Minglang, the more she felt that she was very different from the legendary girl from the Su family. She lacked the delicateness and affectation of a young woman, and instead was more profound. Her whole body was covered with a layer of veil that made it difficult to see through. She was obviously a scheming person, yet she could do such childish and rogue actions.
The Queen couldn't help but smile as she thought about it. Although Su Minglang had her own purpose and their relationship was not pure, the Queen just couldn't bear any ill will towards her. Even the usually spoiled Concubine Shu was quite close to her, wasn't she?
The Concubine Shu was not an easy person to get along with. The relationship between the two of them had once reached the point of drawing swords. Although they still quarreled from time to time now, they were no longer as fierce as before.
