Chapter 182 Passing the Message

Chapter 182 Passing the Message

The queen was a little surprised when she heard that people from Prince Xiao's mansion had come, but she quickly asked the eunuch to invite them in, and by the way called Qing Guifei to come too.

The two looked at Qingyu kneeling below, and Concubine Qing was still very excited, because as soon as Qingyu entered the palace, it meant that Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu had sent news.

Looking at Qingyu: "Qingyu, get up first, why are you here today?"

Qingyu looked at Concubine Qing: "My servant, please be a queen, Xie Concubine Qing. This is a cake from the palace. This servant thinks that you like to eat it when you are at the mansion, Concubine Qing."

"It just happened to be successful again this time, so I sent it to you."

Concubine Qing smiled and looked at Qingyu: "You girl has a heart."

Concubine Qing looked at the maids beside her as she said, "Go to the imperial kitchen and bring some dishes over here."

The queen glanced at it, and called some of the maids beside her: "You all go, and help me by the way, take some more."

The maids looked at each other, knowing that it was the queen who wanted to push them away, so they turned around and followed, seeing that there were only three people left in the room.

Qingyu took out Qian Jiujiu's letter with some embarrassment, and handed it to Concubine Qing. Concubine Qing looked at Qingyu's movements, and Qingyu's face turned red.

"The slaves are worried about being searched when they enter the palace, so they hide relatively secretly."

The corner of Imperial Concubine Qing's mouth twitched, she didn't say anything more, but opened the letter, read it, she was pleasantly surprised, and then looked at the queen happily.

"Sister, Jiu'er has given birth to a pair of twins."

Just after reading the letter, Imperial Concubine Qing and the Empress were wondering if they should read the letter for the Emperor, when they heard the eunuch outside shout: "Ms. Xiang Concubine."

When Concubine Xiang arrived, Imperial Concubine Qing subconsciously stuffed the letter in her hand into the shape of sapphire, and stuffed it directly into her underwear, the corners of the emperor's mouth twitched.

As soon as it was hidden, Concubine Xiang walked in: "Oh, sister Queen's place is really lively, what is this?"

As he spoke, he looked at the cake with both eyes, and from time to time his gaze swiveled on Qingyu's body. Without thinking about it, he knew that this girl must have sent some news.

They must have been searched when they entered the palace, and nothing was found, that is to say, they must still be eating here, so they sat down directly: "This thing looks delicious."

"Sister Empress and Sister Qing Guifei, you probably don't mind my sister staying, let's have a taste."

Concubine Qing snorted coldly, and rolled her eyes at Concubine Xiang: "Have you ever eaten something good? If there is something delicious, you can smell it, hurry up and come here."

"I'm not afraid of losing face."

Concubine Xiang's complexion was very ugly, and the queen looked at Concubine Xiang with a smile: "Okay, since Concubine Xiang's younger sister also wants to eat some, let's give some."

Hearing this, Concubine Xiang's face was very ugly, she really dismissed her as a beggar. The queen continued to speak: "If my sister, Concubine Xiang, wants to eat, I'm afraid she will have to wait for a while."

"My palace is sending people to prepare the dishes."

Concubine Xiang twitched the corner of her mouth, very reluctantly: "Since this is the case, it's a new thing, and my sister will eat a little of whatever she says."

Soon, the maids who had gone to carry the dishes came back, quickly arranged the dishes brought from the imperial kitchen, and then Concubine Qing took a look at Qingyu.

"Come and share the cake."

Qingyu stood up and was about to divide the cake when she saw Concubine Xiang standing up too: "Go away."

Qingyu's complexion was very ugly, but she was the concubine Xiang, so she had no choice but to walk away. Concubine Xiang looked at the queen and imperial concubine Qing with a smile: "Sister queen."

"Sister Qing Guifei, share the food with your younger sister, at least let her do something for you, let her share the cake."

As he said that, he quickly cut open the cake with a single knife, and then gave a piece to Concubine Qing, and another piece to the queen, and then took a piece into the bowl. "

Although only three pieces of cake were drawn, the whole cake seemed to be searched by Concubine Xiang, and it was messed up. The Queen and Concubine Qing looked at each other.

That's why he knew that he thought that Qingyu's letter would be hidden in the cake. If it was really hidden in the cake, he would have cut the cake open immediately.

Still waiting for you to come up, the two of them glanced mockingly at Concubine Xiang, and then heard the voice of an eunuch outside: "The emperor is here."

The emperor walked in with a smile: "I heard that people from Prince Xiao's Mansion have entered the palace, and they also sent a fresh snack, which is the one on the table?"

Qingyu knelt on the ground: "Return to the emperor, yes, this is a cake, it was Miss Xiaoman's idea."

The emperor let out a cry, and the queen's maid of honor gave the emperor a piece of cake with winking eyes, and the emperor also sat down and ate it. After eating, he was still very satisfied.

And he glanced at Concubine Xiang, as if he just saw Concubine Xiang: "Hey, Concubine Xiang is here too, why do you have such a good relationship?"

Noble Concubine Qing burst out laughing: "What kind of friendship is it? It's not shameful for a palace concubine to come to the door with the cheek to ask for something to eat."

The emperor looked at Concubine Xiang with a somewhat unsightly expression, Concubine Xiang knew that these people wanted her to leave in unison! It's not that easy, but she just won't leave.

Glancing at Concubine Qing, she said angrily, "Oh, why is Concubine Qing so stingy? I mean, she just ate a piece of cake from the Empress."

"Why are you so unhappy? Or is it that sister, do you think all the things sent by Prince Xiao's mansion should be yours?"

Qing Yu glanced at Qing Guifei, then knelt down: "Your Majesty, it's time for this servant to go back."

Concubine Qing hummed: "You go back first. Next time there are such fresh gadgets, send them to the palace more."

Qingyu replied immediately: "Your maidservant knows, I will leave now."

Speaking of Qingyu leaving, Concubine Xiang looked at Qingyu leaving, her face turned pale. Could it be that the news has been delivered successfully? So this girl left?

After Qingyu left, the emperor and the empress were talking, and Concubine Qing was also talking from time to time, and the three even made an appointment to play mahjong, leaving Concubine Xiang aside.

After waiting for a few people to play a round of mahjong, Concubine Xiang said goodbye and left. After Concubine Xiang left, the emperor looked at the maids and eunuchs around him: "Let's all go out."

"Don't stand here, block your sight, let me wait outside."

"The slave will leave."

The court ladies and eunuchs turned around and left. Only the emperor, empress and concubine Qing were left in the room. The emperor played out the cards in his hand and looked at them.

"What news came?"

Concubine Qing pursed her lips: "Jiu'er was born, a pair of twins."

The emperor's hand paused for a moment, and he immediately smiled: "Haha, this is a good thing, but it's a pity, we can't see the child now, it would be great if the war ended smoothly."

Concubine Qing glanced at the emperor: "Your Majesty, this time Xiao'er has won another battle. If there is no accident, peace talks will be possible soon."

Peace talks? The emperor looked at Concubine Qing in a daze, and Concubine Qing coughed: "Xiao'er got help from a capable person this time, and directly burned down the other party's granary."

"And after Jiu'er arrived on the battlefield, he drew a new weapon, the trebuchet. This time the victory was all based on it. It beat the enemy to pieces and left them without food."

"Ningguo is either waiting to break the country, or waiting to send people to negotiate peace."

The emperor's mood suddenly improved: "It seems that I am also getting ready. Princess Xiao has given birth to a child, and she will definitely set off and come back in a month."

"And the zhezi is estimated to be sent back in seven or eight days. I'm afraid the Liu family will make some moves by then."

Thinking of this, the emperor pushed mahjong: "I don't want to play anymore, I'm going to prepare now."

Concubine Qing and the Empress looked helpless at the emperor leaving just like that. Looking at the mahjong in front of them, Concubine Qing curled her lips: "I'm going to play cards soon."

The queen coughed twice: "Why don't you find two concubines to continue playing, anyway, we're bored when we're idle."

Concubine Qing pursed her lips: "But I want to make some clothes for my grandchildren. Anyway, I'm bored now, so I'll do it myself."

When the queen heard this, she immediately became interested. She put the mahjong aside and looked at Noble Concubine Qing: "I will help you too. You are a boy, and I am a girl."

Concubine Qing hummed: "My sister has a heart, so Jiu'er named the boy Nannan and the girl Beibei."

The queen was stunned for a moment: "Then the offspring will be called Dongdong or Xixi?"

Concubine Qing was stunned for a moment, she hadn't thought of this question, now that she heard what the queen said, she suddenly felt quite reasonable, so she smiled.

"Having many children and grandchildren is a blessing."

The queen smiled immediately: "Yes, I think about it, what kind of cloth should I use to make clothes for my grandson and granddaughter."

Thinking that there is at most one month before they will be able to see their grandchildren, the two women expressed their beautiful moods, so they happily went to make clothes for the little one.

On the other side, Qian Jiujiu expressed that she was very depressed, just after waking up, she could smell the aroma of food, but it didn't taste good at all when she ate it.

Because there is no smell at all, it is all bland, Qian Jiujiu looked at Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, has your cooking skills declined? Why do you only want fragrance, but no taste?"

Xiaoman giggled twice: "You can't put salt! You still have to breastfeed and feed your baby, so of course you can't eat salt, just bear with it, and you'll be fine in a few days."

"At least wait until you have enough milk."

The girls around looked at each other in blank dismay, Miss Xiaoman was only ten years old, she seemed to know more than them, and she told the princess what to say about breastfeeding.

They were all blushing and their hearts were not beating. Hearing that, all of them had a fever on their faces. How did they know that this is common sense in the 21st century.

Even the dirtier ones, she has said it all. Of course, she won't blush when she mentions these problems.
