Chapter 251 Queen Mother, are you eating secretly?
Author: The autumn wind trembles
Lihua thought for a moment and then understood what Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Zhuozi meant: "You mean Furball, no, it's Wu Xue, it's very good at hitting?"
Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Zuozi nodded at the same time: "Yes."
The origin of Wu Xue is not simple. Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Zhuozi only know that it is a mythical beast that can be encountered but cannot be sought, but they do not know what kind of beast it is.
When Wu Xue was just born as a cub, she was accidentally acquired by the late King Anding, and was later given to the emperor when he was still the crown prince.
At that time, many princes coveted the position of crown prince. When King An Ding went to take over the domain, the one he was most worried about was the crown prince's younger brother who was at the center of the storm. He hoped that Wu Xue would protect him for extra safety.
It can be said that Wu Xue grew up beside the emperor and was influenced by his master.
It moves quickly, as fast as lightning, and its claws are sharp. It helped Lihua bury the burden under Linglong's bed, and it even dug up the hard soil.
Not only that, Wu Xue's sense of smell and hearing are very sensitive, and she can smell and hear things that ordinary people cannot perceive. It found the abandoned white jade bed in Tingliyuan, such a hidden thing.
The most important thing is that Wu Xue is very smart, very understanding of human nature, and has a keen sense of aura, especially the hostility emanating from him, which is an innate instinct.
Before the emperor ascended the throne, Wu Xue did not go out as frequently as he does now, and only went out occasionally.
Later, when the situation stabilized, Wu Xue let herself go and went out to have fun every day.
However, Wu Xue has a cold temperament just like its master, and is inaccessible to ordinary people. There are very few people in the world who can be accepted by it.
Take Zhang Defa for example. He always tried to please Wu Xue but was not treated favorably. He tried touching Wu Xue without consent and his hand was bitten to bits.
Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary people not to mention catching Wu Xue, but also to get close to it.
If you are lucky enough to get close, you should be careful about your own life first. Wu Xue's fighting prowess is no joke.
"Wu Xue's fighting power is not only innate, but also seems to have been trained by Long Live Master. As for how it was trained, I don't know exactly. Even if a master wants to catch it, it will be difficult to reach the sky."
Zhichun was stunned when she heard that the cat owner was so powerful. Before, she had dreamed of being able to touch it, but now it seemed that there was no chance.
Lihua suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the monster was so relieved and his fighting power was much stronger than she imagined.
In fact, Lihua was not very surprised by this result. After all, when she saw Wu Xue for the first time, her hair stood on end, and she felt a trembling feeling in her heart. She had an intuition that this big cat was something special.
Later, Wu Xue's obedient and spiritual appearance caused her to be bullied every time, making her forget about the big cat's powerful fighting ability.
Lihua thought to herself that it looked like Maoqiu was very good to her, so she secretly decided to wait for Maoqiu to come back and make several pots of meat so that she could eat enough at one time.
But where did the fur ball go?
The palace is so small that the fur ball cannot be trapped, so it must have left the palace.
This thought flashed through Lihua's mind, but she felt relieved about Wu Xue's safety.
But when Wu Xue comes back again, she will be surprised.
Late that night, before falling asleep, Lihua thought of that damn monster again. Her heart seemed to be at peace. Wouldn't it be a mess after seeing him again?
That night, Lihua had another chaotic dream, this time the dream was all bright red and bloody, and the dark and oppressive aura of despair tightly surrounded her, unable to break away and escape, like a suffocated fish dying in the dryness.
"Wuli, is that you?"
At the end of the night, when the fog was thick, someone unconsciously asked a question in his dream. The dream suddenly collapsed and slowly returned to peace.
Early the next morning, Lihua woke up with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. She still couldn't remember the scene in her dream. She only knew that the dream was terrifyingly real, like blood infection.
Lihua didn't understand why she had such a dream. There was no such situation in her past experiences, and there was no bloody inner demon.
Even if she had a desperate dream, it would be a long and white corridor, a cold hospital, two farewells, one for death, and one for life.
There was a period when she had such nightmares every day, which made her very desperate, and finally she died suddenly from exhaustion.
But since traveling to this era, Lihua has never had that kind of nightmare again.
Everything about Mrs. Wu and the Wu Mansion warmed her, allowing her to heal without any medicine, truly let go of her heart, and say goodbye to her past.
Lihua couldn't figure out this problem, so she put it aside for the time being, because the birds were singing, the flowers were fragrant, the morning dew was rising, and a new day had begun.
It was a beautiful morning like this, but the Queen Mother was not feeling very well.
She was craving fried fruits again. Every morning, she thought of the happy days when she could eat whatever she wanted.
She didn't appreciate it at that time and put down her chopsticks after taking two bites. Now she can't eat even if she wants to, and she regrets it so much.
As her appetite became better and better, the Queen Mother had an infinite pursuit of food, and daily meals could no longer satisfy her.
It's not that the daily meals are not good. On the contrary, they are so good that they whet the Queen Mother's appetite without letting her eat enough. The Queen Mother felt empty in her heart.
However, Pear Blossom was not always by her side, which also allowed the Queen Mother to find an opening, and her thoughts became active.
But the Queen Mother knew that there was no rich snack in the entire Zhuangning Palace, and everyone in the palace was staring at her.
Whenever she had the idea to sneak into the imperial kitchen to find some snacks and hide them (the kitchen of Zhuangning Palace was easy to be discovered), the palace officials would dissuade her.
According to the palace officials, the Queen Mother is prone to bloating and poor digestion. Eating it will affect the next meal, or the bloating will affect her sleep, so she cannot eat.
Aunt Qin and Qiu Yanhui tried their best to persuade the Empress Dowager to calm down and until Lihua came back.
The little palace maid and the little eunuch would fall to their knees, howling and saying that they deserved death. They were the first people to harm the Queen Mother. Even if they were killed, they couldn't do that.
I don’t know who taught them, they have never been so bad before.
The Queen Mother can intimidate people, but don't be too disappointed by the sight of everyone in the palace kneeling down, wailing, and bursting into tears.
The Queen Mother was helpless.
This is Lihua's way of warning people in Zhuang Ning Palace as a precaution. Could it not work?
In fact, the Queen Mother succeeded once. That time there were snacks for entertaining people in her palace, so she found an opportunity to eat some.
But Zhichun caught her on the spot: "Hey, Queen Mother, are you eating secretly?"
The Queen Mother was blushing and almost choked.
After that incident, Zhichun was scolded by Lihua, and the Queen Mother was persuaded by Nanny Qin in a long speech.
It was also because the Queen Mother ate in a hurry, stuffed herself with too many snacks, and drank some water because she was thirsty. Her abdomen was bloated for a long time that day.
Since then, Zhuang Ning Palace has never had a rich snack.
From that time on, the people of Zhuangning Palace stared at the Queen Mother as if they were on guard against thieves, which made the Queen Mother extremely melancholy.
One day during her break, the Queen Mother took an excuse to go out for a walk and saw a familiar little eunuch passing by. She couldn't remember where she had seen him before, but he was definitely not from Zhuangning Palace.
The Queen Mother had a thought in her mind and quickly stopped the person and whispered: "Go to the imperial kitchen to get some snacks and bring them to the Ai family. They want a fried fruit dish, eight layers of glutinous and fragrant green fruit..."
