Yun Shang also followed Sanniang's gaze and looked out, sighing and saying, "I've only been here a few days and I'm already like this. These days have become more and more boring."
Sanniang glanced at Yun Shang and then looked away.
At dinner time, Yun Shang plucked the dishes on the plate, put down her chopsticks before taking two bites, and said with a bitter face, "I remember you promised me to ask the cook in the kitchen on the first day I came here.
Why don't you cook some Ningguo dishes? I eat this kind of food every day, and I really can't eat it anymore. Sanniang, look at me, I've lost weight."
Sanniang looked at Yun Shang's face. In the past two days, Yun Shang's face was indeed a little pale, and she had indeed become a bit thinner. She was silent for a moment and said, "I asked before, but the cook was really
If you don’t know how to cook Ningguo’s food, I can’t do it either.”
Hearing this, Yun Shang hurriedly said, "Ning Guo's dishes are not difficult to make. It's just that some seasonings are indispensable. I'm afraid I need to buy some. Why not do this? I'll write down the recipe. Sanniang, you give it to the cook.
Let him go buy some ingredients and try to help me cook it."
Sanniang thought for a while, then nodded in agreement. Yun Shang's face showed a bit of joy, and she hurriedly walked to the table, spread out the paper, wrote out the recipes of several dishes, and dried the ink.
Then he handed it to Sanniang.
After thinking for a while, Yun Shang said again, "By the way, I also want to eat osmanthus cake. When the cook buys ingredients, how about bringing me some osmanthus cake?"
Sanniang took the paper, folded it and put it in her sleeve. She also cleared all the dishes on the table and then said, "I don't know either. I have to ask the master first."
"Ask, ask. There are several osmanthus cakes sold in Jincheng. Just buy me a few pieces. Although the taste is not as good as the ones in Zhongyu Manlou in Ningguo Imperial City, it's still better than nothing." Yun said.
Shang said with a smile.
The next day, Yun Shang was not disappointed. The dinner brought in the evening was replaced by Ningguo's dishes, and there was also a plate of golden osmanthus cake. Seeing this, Yun Shang hurried to the table.
The table was lowered, and Sanniang looked expectantly as she took out the dishes one by one from the food box, her eyes full of joy.
Sanniang looked at Yun Shang's appearance, frowned slightly and said, "These dishes are extremely spicy when you smell them. I accidentally ate a chili before, and the taste is unforgettable. I don't know how you guys got it."
Eat it."
Yun Shang smiled and took a chopstick of fried fish bones with hibiscus and put it into her mouth, with a look of satisfaction on her face. After swallowing it, she smiled and said, "The soil and water nurture a person. I loved spicy food when I was a child."
, but at that time, the mother-in-law was not around, and the queen favored the imperial sister. When the palace servants saw that I was not favored, they naturally deducted it if they could. Therefore, at that time, the most satisfying thing was
As long as you can eat a little chili pepper and be full, whether it tastes good or not is secondary."
As he spoke, he ate another piece of red meat, and then continued, "Later, because of poor health, I was sent to Ningguo Temple to recuperate. Eating meat was not allowed in the temple. Therefore, my biggest wish at that time was
I was able to eat meat, and occasionally when the monks in the temple were not paying attention, I would secretly run to the mountain behind the temple to catch some game and eat it secretly. Once, I almost fell off the cliff chasing a rabbit."
"It wasn't until she returned to the palace when she was about to have her haircut that the mother and concubine moved out of the cold palace and met the prince again. Then she felt a little better and could start to eat some of her favorite foods. Her favorite was the one from Yumanlou.
Osmanthus cake, when I was in Ningguo, the prince would remember to bring some home for me every time he went back to Yumanlou." Yun Shang said with a smile, with a deep warmth in his eyes.
Sanniang looked at Yun Shang's appearance, lowered her head and was silent for a long time, then sighed softly, "Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, and so does the royal family."
Yun Shang smiled and said, "Yes, many things are not as beautiful as they appear on the surface."
Yun Shang said, taking a piece of osmanthus cake from the plate, "Just like this piece of osmanthus cake, it looks yellow and orange and very tempting, but few people know that there is a mystery hidden in it."
of."
Yun Shang suddenly opened the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand and took out a gold lock piece from it. She raised her eyes and looked at Sanniang whose expression suddenly changed and said, "This gold lock piece is very exquisite in workmanship. It must be the same."
A lot of thought was put into it. There is also an auspicious character engraved on the face. It should be the name of the child, Xiang, auspicious. They say that the name can best reflect the love of parents for their children. The meaning of this name is very good. I guess the child
He is also very favored."
Yun Shang raised her eyes and handed the golden lock piece in her hand to the pale Sanniang, with a slight smile on her lips.
Sanniang lowered her head and looked at the golden lock in her hand, her eyes filled with disbelief. She bit her lip, shook her head and said, "No, how is that possible? We have taken away everything you have, and now you are using it."
They are all our things, and there are guards around this courtyard. I am with you every day, how can you possibly contact me..."
Yun Shang smiled, smoothed her hair at the temples, and said with a smile, "Didn't Sanniang ask yesterday why the lotus flowers faded earlier this year than in previous years? By the way, did Sanniang find out recently?
This courtyard is much quieter than before. In the past, crickets, frogs, and even cicadas would appear one after another at night, but now it is extremely quiet at night."
There was even more confusion in Sanniang's eyes. Yun Shang stretched out her left hand and the sleeve slid to her wrist. Only then did Sanniang see that there were several wounds on Yun Shang's arm, which seemed to be deep.
The appearance and appearance are all new.
"Sanniang, do you still remember that one time before, I accidentally broke the vase on the piano table? At that time, I secretly hid a piece of the vase. I had taken a lot of poison in my urine since I was a child, and my blood can detoxify it.
Hundreds of poisons, but they are also extremely powerful poisons. I found that this courtyard should also face the street, so when I took a walk every day, I cut my wrist in my sleeve, and then dripped the blood around the courtyard. My
The blood poison is very strong, and those crickets and frogs will naturally flee in all directions. You have never noticed it, but the people outside the wall are probably very surprised. I also have a lot of hidden stakes. What happened is like this.
If you do something, you will naturally notice this yard." Yun Shang put down his sleeves and spoke softly, as if he was chatting about everyday things.
"The lotuses in the courtyard were affected just because my blood poison was a little stronger. Fortunately, there are no fish in the pond, otherwise I'm afraid you would have discovered it." Yun Shang looked at the three of them with a smile.
Mother, "My secret guards will naturally become suspicious when they find that there are so many people guarding this courtyard. Therefore, after you go out to buy every day, you are probably followed by them. You are a good mother,
I know that you will go home to check on your children every day after I fall asleep. Because of this, my secret guards have an opportunity. I asked you to ask the cook to buy some Ningguo vegetables.
The ingredients are just another message to my subordinates, asking them to bring in this golden lock."
Sanniang looked at Yun Shang with a pale face, her lips trembled slightly, and it took a long time to say a complete sentence, "What do you want to do?"
Yun Shang smiled and said, "The reason why I am here now is just because Sanniang's master wanted to use me to threaten my family. I just retaliated in the same way. Sanniang must now
You can understand my feelings."
"But I'm just a servant." Sanniang said with a cold face.
"Servant, I'm afraid that's not the case." Yun Shang squinted at Sanniang, "I can see clearly these days that all the servants in this courtyard, even the guards around them, are very obedient to Sanniang's words.
, and Sanniang can also come and go freely in this courtyard, so how can she be just a servant?"
Sanniang's face turned a little whiter, Yun Shang waved her hand and said, "Don't worry Sanniang, I won't let Sanniang let me leave this place. Sanniang can't do it, but there are some things that Sanniang can't do."
You can help me."
Sanniang bit her lip and looked at Yun Shang. She didn't say anything for a long time. Yun Shang's eyes fell on the gold lock in her hand again. The corner of her mouth curled up slightly and she said with a smile, "Don't worry Sanniang, I guarantee that your children will be safe."
safe and sound."
Sanniang was silent for a long time, then she raised her head as if she had made up her mind, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"It's very simple. I just need Sanniang to put a note on your table for me when she goes home to visit the children. Someone will pick it up when the time comes." Yun Shang responded in a low voice,
The brows and eyes are full of gentleness, without any scheming.
Sanniang bit her lip and nodded seriously, "Okay, okay, don't touch my child."
"Of course." Yun Shang walked to the table with a smile, spread out a piece of paper, pondered for a moment, and then slowly put down the pen. After a while, Yun Shang handed the note into Sanniang's hand, "Excuse me.
Damn it."
On the third day after the letter was sent, when Yun Shang woke up in the morning, she felt that Sanniang's face was a little ugly. As soon as she saw Yun Shang open her eyes, Sanniang hurriedly asked, "What did you do?"
Looking at her expression, Yun Shang knew that her guess was true and that the method had already worked, so she smiled and said, "I didn't do anything."
Sanniang stopped talking several times, but early the next morning, she handed Yun Shang another letter. There was a bottle of medicine next to it. The medicine bottle was sealed. Yun Shang took the medicine bottle and looked at it, her mouth softened.
A smile slowly appeared.
That night, Yun Shang lay down early, but she kept her eyes open and did not sleep. The watchman outside knocked for the third time, "The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful of the candle."
The sound gradually faded away, but there was a "bang" sound, and Sanniang who was sleeping outside was woken up. There was a sound of fighting outside, and Sanniang hurriedly walked in with a lamp.
He shook Yunshang and stared at her blankly, "It's you, isn't it you, where are my children?" (To be continued)
