Chapter 419 The origin of old duck soup

Lily hurriedly told the queen what Fan Qingyao said word for word.

Queen Zhen Xi's face darkened, "It's a good plan. I want to kill two birds with one stone."

Lily said worriedly, "Since the water has escaped, the fire will definitely not be small. I am afraid that the medicinal materials that the Crown Princess hoarded are all there. Now it is burned like this, but what should I do?"

Queen Zhen Xi sneered, "I'm afraid that the person who set the fire just wanted to make us not know what to do."

Lily sighed, "The Crown Princess said this to the slave, I'm afraid she just wants to ask the Queen to come forward and help lobby the Emperor. No matter what, she must first ask the Emperor to withdraw his holy will."

Even if it offends the emperor, it is better than offending the Zhenyi Kingdom.

 Empress Zhen Xi sat up slowly, her eyes that had experienced the harshness of the world shone with a light of unknown meaning.

Lily may be right. Xiao Qingyao asked her to send him a message because he wanted to use her hand to see the emperor.

 Now, asking the emperor to withdraw his holy will in private is indeed the most foolproof way.

only…

Once the emperor really takes back his holy will, it will mean that Xiao Qingyao has given up.

 But is Xiao Qingyao really willing to bow his head?

Will not.

She knew Xiao Qingyao, but she never knew how to write the word "bow".

 I thought that the third prince had dragged everyone to the palace gate, but wasn't Xiao Qingyao able to save the day?

Suddenly, Empress Zhen Xi seemed to have thought of something, and she smiled and ordered Lily, "It has been such a long time since you came to the palace, and the emperor has not had old duck soup for a while. Let the people in the palace stew the soup, and then give it to the emperor." The emperor will send it over."

Lily was stunned for a moment, "The Queen doesn't plan to go in person?"

“There are some smells that can remind you of the person you want to smell. It’s better not to show up, so that you can hook up with those who feel guilty.”

So what if the emperor loves Concubine Yu.

As long as she still sits in the position of queen for one day, it proves that she still has a certain weight in the emperor's heart.

Now Yunying is pregnant, and Concubine Yu is vying for favor. She is the only one who is in peace, just to let the emperor remember her kindness.

Only in this way will the emperor think of her when he should think of her.

Sometimes, if you want a man to come to you, it can be a favor, or it can also be a debt.

Lily nodded, "I hope that the old duck soup... can save the emperor from the punishment of the crown princess."

 Empress Zhen Xi waved her hand, "Go."

 As for Lily's worries, Queen Zhenxi was calm.

Since that child Xiao Qingyao asked her to accompany him in such a play, how could he give up?

In the small kitchen of the palace, I didn’t expect that the queen would suddenly order old duck soup. Since there was no fat duck in hand, I hurriedly sent someone to buy it in the town below the palace. After all the fussing, half an hour had passed.

Empress Zhen Xi was calculating the time to deliver the old duck soup, and she sent someone to pass Fan Qingyao through the door.

Fan Qingyao came here just to put on a show. When he saw the Queen, he knelt on the ground with red eyes, "I would like to pay my respects to the Queen. I deserve to die. I'm afraid I will let down the Queen and the Emperor." Trusted.”

Queen Zhen Xi seemed to be stunned for a moment, "What are you doing? Get up and talk quickly. The ground is cold."

Fan Qingyao did not dare to get up and knelt on the ground honestly, "Being able to treat the crown prince of Zhenyi Kingdom is the Queen's request, the Emperor's trust, and the Hua family's blessing. However, my daughter's fate is bumpy. Without the love of the Queen and the Emperor, I really have no shame in going to see the Emperor again.”

 Empress Zhenxi was startled, "What are you doing?"

"Just today, news came from home that Qingnang Zhai was compromised. Although we don't know the casualties yet, all the medicinal materials accumulated by the servants in the shop were burned. The prince of Zhenyi Kingdom has a hidden illness, and I I made a little decision yesterday. Many of the medicinal materials are not available in the palace. I thought it would be safe to get the medicine directly from Qingnangzhai, but who knows..." Fan Qingyao said while kowtowing to the Queen.

 Empress Zhen Xi seemed not to have expected that things would turn out like this. She sat on the soft couch in a daze for a long time without regaining consciousness.

The dormitory was extremely quiet for a while.

Not to mention the palace attendants outside, even Lily standing inside did not dare to raise her head.

After a long while, Queen Zhen Xi looked at Fan Qingyao and said, "No one can avoid natural disasters and man-made disasters. Maybe you are destined to have this disaster. Although the emperor hopes to have good relations with the Zhenyi Kingdom, he is also kind and will never give up." I won’t be unreasonable, I will personally explain this matter to the Emperor later.”

Hearing this, Fan Qingyao did not breathe a sigh of relief. Instead, he still knelt on the ground and remained silent.

Seeing this, Queen Zhen Xi seemed to comfort and sigh, "It's strange that your Hua family doesn't have such a fate..."

All the conversations in the palace were clear and heavy. Even if the palace attendants outside the door wanted to not listen, they could not hear it. Emperor Yongchang, who had already walked into the courtyard, could hear it clearly.

 Lao duck soup is the queen's favorite soup.

 I think back when Emperor Yongchang was just an inconspicuous prince, the government's expenses were also tight at that time, and there was a hoarding of flying ducks in the south. In order to win over the people, the late emperor personally spent his own money to buy a thousand ducks.

 With the late emperor as an example, everyone inside and outside the court must follow the example.

In order to give the emperor a good reputation in front of the late emperor, Queen Zhenxi sold a shop where she had given her dowry and used all the money to buy ducks.

The presence of tens of thousands of ducks really impressed the late emperor.

But next, Emperor Yongchang wanted to lead the people in the mansion to eat duck all the time to correct his own frugality.

Emperor Yongchang remembered clearly that he had eaten those ducks for several years, so much so that he now felt uncomfortable when he saw ducks.

Later, the queen personally developed this old duck soup.

 Although it is still a duck, the meaning is different.

 Just recalling the past, the soup still tastes the same, but people have changed.

Since arriving at the palace, Emperor Yongchang has been either accompanying Concubine Yu or visiting the pregnant Yunying. Because the queen has always been of a non-competitive nature, Emperor Yongchang just ignored her.

Looking at Laoya Soup now, I think of the Queen.

 Unexpectedly, he planned to give the queen a surprise, but accidentally ran into Qingnangzhai being burned.

Qingnangzhai was burned down, and when it first came out, Emperor Yongchang was obviously angry.

The fever didn't happen early, but it didn't happen later, but it happened just when he ordered Fan Qingyao to treat the crown prince of Zhenyi Kingdom?

 It’s too much of a coincidence!

 Could it be that Fan Qingyao himself didn't want to accept it, so he was looking for a suitable reason.

But after hearing the conversation between Fan Qingyao and Queen Zhen Xi in the palace, his anger gradually dissipated.

 From beginning to end, the two people in the palace were thinking about him and had no selfish motives at all.

 Besides, the Queen's last sentence is right. If this opportunity is taken away, it will be a loss for the Hua family.

How could someone as smart as Fan Qingyao not understand the importance of this?

 Think about it again...

Emperor Yongchang felt that this coincidence was not as simple as it seemed.
