Chapter 573 Summoning
Wen Qing almost killed Wen Xuan and the bitter scheme that came out later as Wen Qing fainted in the ancestral hall and was carried back to Chunxixuan. It was not that everyone stopped talking, but that Mrs. Ping issued a ban order to prevent anyone from discussing this matter.
No one dared to talk about it, so he stopped naturally.
Ji Qingning felt that Duke Yu's mansion should be purified for a few days. As a result, the next day, someone came from the palace and the queen mother summoned the elder's wife to the palace.
A stone caused a thousand sensation, and the mansion was talking again.
In the early years, Mrs. Ping and the Elderly Lady competed for the position of throne wife, and later Duke Yu and the Grand Master competed for the position of prince. However, as Duke Yu succeeded to the Duke, the Elderly Lady's influence in the circle of Guima in Kyoto has plummeted. In recent years, except for going out to worship Buddha, he has almost never gone out to meet guests.
The more powerful Duke Yu was in the court, the less everyone dared to get closer to the master and dared not interact with the elder wife, for fear of making Mrs. Ping unhappy.
Such a person who was not popular outside Duke Yu's mansion was summoned to the palace.
This move is intriguing.
When Ji Qingning went to greet Mrs. Ping, the elder's wife left the mansion. When the elder's wife came back from the palace, it was almost time for lunch. She went into the palace to talk to the empress dowager, but no one could know. However, when the elder's wife returned to the palace, she smiled and the empress dowager also gave her four pieces of cloud brocade.
Ji Qingning was not interested in the Empress Dowager's wife asking the elder wife to enter the palace. From the perspective of the elder wife, it was normal for the eldest master to be unwilling to fight for the princess, but Duke Yu was not a vegetarian and had never fought for it before. Now he holds great power and wants to let the eldest wife succeed, which can make people laugh.
She was very confident in Duke Yu, not to mention that Wen Xuan is the monster, so there is no need to worry.
Ji Qingning was very determined, but the first fire that the elder's wife burned when she entered the palace was on her body.
On this day, Ji Qingning was free and asked the little maid to find her a piece of silk and prepare to do some needlework to pass the time. This opening shocked the little maid and thought she was hallucinating, "Miss, what do you want?"
"Embroidered Ties," Ji Qingning paused word by word.
The little maid's eyes suddenly opened wide, "Girl, you didn't want the wrong thing?"
Ji Qingning looked dark, "I'm bored, can't I make two bellybands for the child in my belly?"
Yes, Yes, that is...
The little maid said worriedly, "If you don't make close-fitting clothes well, it will irritate your skin. The young master who was born has delicate skin and is inconvenient to wear it. Let the embroiderer in the mansion do it."
The little maid said that she had married anyway, and the son-in-law didn't ask the girl to do these things, and others didn't have this requirement, so she didn't have to suffer from this. What's more important is that she was afraid that the young master would feel uncomfortable in dressing.
Almost all the little maid's little thoughts were engraved on her face. Ji Qingning glared at her, "Just get it."
He actually distrusts her so much.
The little maid looked at Ji Qingning's belly and looked like she was sorry for the young master and turned around and walked backwards.
But after walking a few steps, the little maid ran away again and came back and said, "Girl, the palace sends someone to pick up Uncle Li."
Ji Qingning didn't react for a moment, "Uncle Li?"
The little maid said, "It's the imperial chef Uncle Li."
"He is not in Duke Yu's Mansion," said Ji Qingning.
etc!
Ji Qingning twisted his eyebrows, "Why do you want to take Uncle Li back?"
The little maid turned around and called a maid in. The maid came to the front yard to send a message. The little maid asked her why, and the maid replied, "The people from the palace said that the empress dowager was depressed and wanted to eat pear blossom wine."
Ji Qingning's brows were tied.
Isn’t pear blossom wine a dessert? Can’t even make so many imperial chefs in the palace?
Well, there are many people who can make this dessert. The imperial kitchen in the palace is almost an imperial chef who can make it, but the best one is Li Yuchu.
The Empress Dowager is used to eating good things and is more tactful. It is normal for her to eat the best ones. She is in such a high position as the Empress Dowager, and she does not need to be allowed to eat anyone.
The emperor gave Li Yuchu to Ji Qingning because Wen Xuan misunderstood that she was terminally ill and her life was not long. She wanted her to eat better before leaving and live longer. The emperor thought about her contributions to forging weapons.
Later I found out that it was a mistake. Ji Qingning's vomiting was just a disaster. In addition, the month is getting older, so I don't even eat the dishes made by Li Yuchu, leaving people at Ji's house.
A small Ji family also had imperial meals three meals a day. All the civil and military officials in the court had complaints in their hearts. The empress dowager wanted to recall Li Yuchu, and the emperor had nothing to say. He could not let the empress dowager down to fill the Ji family's desire.
It was hard for the palace people to go directly to Ji's house to pick them up, so Ji Qingning prepared to take the opportunity to go back to the door, and Wen Xuan accompanied him.
When they arrived at the front yard, the father-in-law who came to pick him up was already a little impatient, fearing that the person would take him back too late, and the empress dowager would be punished by him, and he, a young father-in-law, could not afford to be guilty.
Seeing Wen Xuan, the young master quickly stood up, "Young Master Wen San calmed down, and the servant was also ordered to act. Please let the servant take him back to Li Yuchu."
Wen Xuan's face was indifferent, "Li Yuchu is at the Ji family, please follow us to pick up people."
The young father-in-law nodded repeatedly, followed Wen Xuan and Ji Qingning out of the Duke Yu's mansion, and drove the carriage to the Ji family.
Ji Qingning got married not long ago, but he returned to the house a lot of times. After hearing the maid report that Ji Qingning had returned, the old lady Ji was worried that Ji Qingning was too diligent and was disliked by Duke Yu's mansion. Besides, she was pregnant and should not go out often.
Knowing that Ji Qingning and Wen Xuan were coming for the Empress Dowager to recall Li Yuchu, the old lady Ji was stunned and asked the maid, "Can Li Yuchu be in the mansion now?"
The maid shook her head, "I don't know if I'm back at this time."
Ji Qingning was surprised, "Didn't Uncle Li stay in the mansion all the time?"
Mrs. Ji smiled and said, "He has included all three meals a day with your mother, but the rest of the time is boring. I mentioned to me a few days ago that he had time to go out to visit the house. This is not an excessive request, so I agreed."
"He left the house after cooking breakfast these days and almost came back when he had to cook lunch. I really don't know where the person is now."
The maid said, "I sent someone to find him."
I really have to look for it, after all, it was the Queen Mother who was summoned by me, so I can't let the Queen Mother wait for a long time.
Ji Qingning and Wen Xuan looked at each other. Uncle Li had no relatives or friends in Kyoto, and he didn't leave Ji's family before. Only occasionally did the vegetables he bought were deceived by someone, so he went to the street to choose ingredients himself. Why is it so abnormal recently?
However, no matter how abnormal the Ji family is, there is nothing to do with others.
After waiting for a full two quarters of an hour, Uncle Li returned slowly and walked to Ji Qingning and Wen Xuan and said, "Does the Queen Mother ask me to go back and cook for a few days or will I stay in the palace in the future?"
The voice was a little anxious and his face was a little uneasy, as if he was unwilling to go back to the imperial kitchen.
Wen Xuan said, "Eight out of ten are left in the palace."
Uncle Li's face froze. He knelt down directly for Wen Xuan and Ji Qingning, "Please beg Young Master Wen San, Grandma Wen San to help me dispel the Queen Mother's idea."
