The Empress Dowager glanced at Nanny Wang who was kneeling on the ground. She saw that her body was shaking violently and her lips were gray. She was confused and gradually understood. She asked in a cold voice: "Nanny Wang, what did you hide in the cushion that Princess Ning gave her when she was punished to kneel yesterday?"
Nanny Wang's heart trembled, but she smiled and remained calm: "Replying to the Empress Dowager, I saw that Princess Ning was a little tired of kneeling, so I wanted to get her a cushion. It was just an ordinary cushion."
The Empress Dowager's face was cold: "Oh? How come I never knew that the ordinary cushions in my palace could make people's knees bleed?"
There was a hint of anger in the cold voice. Nanny Wang's forehead was sweating and the clothes on her back were soaked. She knelt on the ground in panic, not knowing what to do.
The maidservant who served the Empress Dowager was originally a maidservant named Yu, but she was old, and the Empress Dowager was compassionate, so she let her go back to her hometown to enjoy her life last year. After that, she was served by Nanny Wang. Nanny Wang usually behaved properly and did not do anything wrong, so the Empress Dowager had some feelings for her, but today, she was totally wrong! The person she trained was so dishonest and dared to do something beyond her duty, and the Empress Dowager was extremely angry.
The Empress Dowager shouted angrily: "Since she is so stubborn, come and slap her in the face! See if her mouth is that stubborn!"
Soon, several strong maidservants came up, two of them hugged Nanny Wang on both sides, and one of them slapped Nanny Wang in the front, making Nanny Wang's eyes full of stars.
At first, she could still call for mercy from the Empress Dowager, but later, she sobbed and could not shout anymore.
The Emperor and Prince Anyang were both present. The Queen Mother felt that she had been humiliated and said coldly, "Hit her hard!"
Mammy also used some strength in her hands. After a while, she saw that Mammy Wang's face was swollen like a pig's head, and there were traces of blood at the corners of her mouth. The shape was very scary.
The Queen Mother waved her hand, and the mothers quickly retreated!
As soon as the two let go, Mammy Wang had no strength to support herself. She fell to the ground weakly, only wailing faintly.
"I'll ask you again, what is that cushion?" The Queen Mother looked at Mammy Wang on the ground and said this.
Mammy Wang thought that the Queen Mother had a deep prejudice against Ouyang Wu, and she destroyed the evidence, so she would be at peace. But now all the spearheads are pointed at her. If she continues to deny, she will be beaten to death. She didn't dare to argue anymore and said truthfully: "Then, there are broken pieces of porcelain hidden in that cushion..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, the wound at the corner of her mouth was moved, and her heart trembled with pain.
The faces of the people who heard this turned pale, and the empress dowager was even more angry. At that time, Ouyang Wu cried out softly, and she thought she was delicate. Now thinking about it, how painful it was at that time.
Ye Zhonghua looked at Wang Ma with eyes that could spit fire, and his heart was almost twisted. Wu'er was kneeling on such a cushion, and he couldn't help but step forward and kick this old woman, kicking her until she spit out blood.
The emperor's face darkened. This woman actually did such a vicious thing. Prince Anyang was even more angry. If it weren't for her, he would not have argued with the Queen Mother. However, seeing this woman so scared, it was estimated that she was instructed by someone. Before the Queen Mother could speak, Prince Anyang could no longer hold back and blurted out: "Who told you to do it?"
It was the first time that Nanny Wang encountered such a posture. She was scared to death and stammered: "Queen Mother, spare me, Queen Mother, spare me. Yes, it was the Fourth Prince! The Fourth Prince told the Queen Mother that the Queen Mother hated Princess Ning, so, so she had to let Princess Ning live a life worse than death... Everything was, it was the Fourth Prince's idea!"
"Asshole, ridiculous!" The emperor could not help but roared.
The Queen Mother's face also changed, and she muttered: "Asshole, asshole! No wonder Feixi told me before..."
"Mother, what did that rebellious son say to you?" The emperor was furious.
The Queen Mother then told her in detail how Ye Feixi had accused her of something. The more she talked, the darker her face became. The anger on the emperor's face could not be described in words. Ouyang Wu had saved Li Yunfei with his will, but now she was being blamed like this. Where did his will stand?
Prince Anyang was also angry, saying: "Feixi is getting more and more outrageous today. Not only has he accomplished nothing, but he has also been sowing discord everywhere, causing Wu'er to suffer such grievances for no reason. It's really hateful!"
The emperor glanced at Ouyang Wu and saw that she looked sad, leaning on Ye Zhonghua's arms without saying a word. Especially since her legs were injured and she couldn't even stand, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
At first, he really didn't like this woman whom Ye Chonghua had offered six cities to marry. But since she came to Xiling Kingdom, she had helped Ye Chonghua and even the entire Xiling Palace to cure many difficult and complicated diseases, and she had never asked for any reward. Now, even the King of Anyang was helping Ye Chonghua. It was hard not to say that she was a blessing to her husband, not to mention that she had donated so much silver to the disaster victims in the south. Such a woman, now, had suffered such injustice because of Ye Feixi!
The emperor became more and more angry as he thought about it, and then he shouted: "Go and call that rebellious son to me!"
The empress dowager had not recovered from her serious illness and was really exhausted, so the emperor led everyone out, leaving Ouyang Wu inside to explain the precautions.
The Queen Mother looked at Ouyang Wu, a trace of guilt flashed across her face, but she refused to bow her head. She raised her chin and coughed: "Forget it, I don't blame you."
Ouyang Wu looked at the Queen Mother's posture, which looked a little arrogant. She calmed down and replied: "Thank you, Grandmother, for your understanding."
The Queen Mother's face was slightly satisfied. Ouyang Wu told the Queen Mother in detail about the matters that needed to be paid attention to in the near future. After that, she asked the Queen Mother to rest well and was carried out of the room by Ye Chonghua.
As soon as she left the room, she heard a snap. The emperor slapped Ye Feixi's face with all his strength, and then with a bang, Ye Feixi fell to the ground.
"Father!" Ye Feixi was confused, not knowing why the emperor was so angry.
"You evil creature, look at what you have done!" The emperor was so angry that he said, "You have been causing me more and more trouble lately!"
At this time, Ye Zhonghua came out of the inner room holding Ouyang Wu and gently placed her on the chair. Ye Feixi saw Ouyang Wu's thickly wrapped legs at a glance, and a triumphant smile flashed across his face. However, he immediately realized that the emperor was still angry. Ye Feixi hurriedly climbed up and knelt on the ground, saying, "Father, I don't know what I have done wrong."
The emperor was so angry that his hands were shaking, "Look, Look at Wu'er's legs. Look at them. I really wish I had never given birth to such a rebellious son like you!"
Ye Feixi's face flashed with confusion: "What happened to my second sister-in-law? This has nothing to do with Feixi!"
"You are still stubborn. Come on, bring Nanny Wang out."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nanny Wang was thrown to the ground. When she saw Ye Feixi, she hurried forward and hugged Ye Feixi's thigh: "Fourth Prince, Fourth Prince, I don't want your silver. Please save my life!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she was pulled out.
Ye Feixi's face was ugly. Just when he was about to argue, the emperor's face turned black: "What else do you have to say? You have accomplished nothing all day long. Now you can't even have children, and you are still trying to sow discord. From now on, you are not allowed to leave the Fourth Prince's Mansion without my order!" After that, he left in a huff.
Ye Feixi didn't expect the emperor to be so ruthless and hit his sore spot everywhere. He was extremely angry and angry! No, he was the emperor's most beloved prince and the only son of the queen! How could the emperor treat him like this! He glared at Ouyang Wu hatefully, but Ouyang Wu didn't look at him. She just tilted her head and said to Ye Chonghua beside him: "Let's go back." After Ouyang Wu returned to the Ning Wang Mansion, she took off the exaggerated gauze on her feet and couldn't help complaining to Ye Chonghua: "It's so tight that I'm so uncomfortable." "Don't move, don't move!" Ye Chonghua thought of Ouyang Wu's knee being pierced by broken porcelain pieces at this time, as if his heart was also pierced. He sat down beside her and took the ointment to apply it on her wound. Although her wound had almost recovered, he wanted to continue to wrap Ouyang Wu with gauze until Ouyang Wu insisted that it was not easy to breathe in such hot weather, and Ye Chonghua was willing to give up his insistence. Ouyang Wu's legs were freed, and she was about to stand up, but Ye Chonghua refused and said softly: "Where are you going? I'll carry you there?"
Ouyang Wu's face was full of black lines, and she couldn't help but glare at him: "It's just a skin injury, no broken bones."
Ye Chonghua curled his lips, and his voice became softer: "It's not easy to be intimate with Wu'er for a while, the king is very happy."
Ouyang Wu: ...
Since Ye Feixi was confined, the emperor acted very quickly. When he went to court the next day, he dismissed Ling Yu from the post of Minister of Personnel in public. The crime was that the people promoted by Ling Yu embezzled a lot of money in public during this disaster relief, and he was guilty of not knowing people well. In addition, the emperor also promoted Wei Shuang as Minister of Personnel.
Ouyang Wu had always ignored government affairs, but she soon learned about this matter. She understood it in her heart. It seemed that the emperor was really disappointed with Ye Feixi. Ling Yu was Ye Feixi's right-hand man, but now he was dismissed and punished, while Wei Shuang was a general under Ye Chonghua.
Ouyang Wu curled her lips. This was very good. This could be considered a reward from the emperor. "Yao'er, do you think the Empress Dowager did something wrong?" Ye Yao had come to talk to the Empress Dowager from time to time since the Empress Dowager returned to the palace. On this day, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but say this to Ye Yao.
"Grandmother, do you mean Sister-in-law Wu'er?" Ye Yao asked with blinking eyes. The Empress Dowager looked proud and nodded as if she was very unhappy.
Ye Yao pursed her lips and leaned against the Empress Dowager and said coquettishly: "Yao'er likes Sister-in-law Wu'er the most. Hey, Grandmother, you don't know that at the beginning, Yao'er also targeted Sister-in-law Wu'er everywhere. It was all caused by those gossipers. Later, I found out that Sister-in-law Wu'er was the most powerful and kind. She was very nice to us. Moreover, as soon as Yao'er apologized to Sister-in-law Wu'er, she forgave me!"
After saying this, she looked at the Empress Dowager eagerly, meaning that Grandmother, you were wrong. Wu'er was such a good sister-in-law, but you punished her indiscriminately. Fortunately, Sister-in-law was fine this time, otherwise I would not forgive you! If you don't apologize to her, she might forgive you!
The Queen Mother understood what Ye Yao meant, turned her head and said, "I am the Queen Mother, do I have to apologize to a junior?"
Ye Yao stuck out her tongue and said helplessly, "Then you can do whatever you want, Yao'er likes Sister Wu'er anyway!"
The Queen Mother did not respond, her face full of stubbornness.
Seeing the Queen Mother's stubborn look, Ye Yao knew that this trick was useless, and her smart eyes turned and smiled, "Grandmother, your illness still needs Sister Wu'er to treat it. Sister Wu'er won't mind whether you apologize or not. Your health is the most important."
The Queen Mother thought of Ouyang Wu's knees wrapped in thick gauze, and hesitated, "I wonder how her legs are?"
Ye Yao saw the Queen Mother's unconscious concern, and now smiled secretly, saying, "I don't know, Yao'er hasn't seen Sister Wu for a long time. "It's been seven days, and she should have recovered. Why don't you summon your sister-in-law to the palace, first to treat you, and second to let Yao'er meet Wu'er's sister-in-law!"
The Queen Mother frowned and thought, this is a good idea, so she said to the outside: "Princess Xuanning enters the palace!"
Ouyang Wu soon arrived at Fanghua Palace. As soon as she stepped into the main hall, she saw the Queen Mother sitting on the upper floor, and Ye Yao was sitting next to her, laughing. When her eyes fell on her, the smile on her face slowly faded, and her face became solemn.
Ouyang Wu slowly stepped forward, bowed to the Queen Mother, and said: "Wu'er greets the Queen Mother."
"No need." The Queen Mother said lightly, and looked at Ouyang Wu carefully. She felt that the woman in front of her had a calm and generous look, her black pearl-like eyes were clear and peaceful, she stood lightly, her appearance was elegant and graceful, her manners were modest and generous, and the more she looked at her, the more comfortable she felt!
She was really deceived by Feixi's words before. This woman looked very friendly at first glance. Seeing that her knees were fine, she felt relieved.
Ye Yao was very happy when she saw Ouyang Wu, and said, "Sister Wu'er, come and see if the illness has healed for the Empress Dowager." Ouyang Wu smiled lightly, nodded, and walked slowly to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager reluctantly extended her hand. Ouyang Wu smiled at the corners of her lips, with a warm face. She put two fingers on her pulse and carefully checked her pulse. She also asked carefully about her recent condition. The Empress Dowager answered awkwardly.
When asked whether she had taken the medicine on time, the Empress Dowager hesitated for a moment. Only when she was asked urgently did she say, "Of course I have taken it. I am not a three-year-old kid. Don't I know this?"
Ouyang Wu understood the Empress Dowager's expression and asked the maidservant. The maidservant said that the medicine had been boiled long ago, so Ouyang Wu asked her to get it.
Ye Yao covered her mouth and laughed. Her grandmother loved sweets the most, and of course, she was also afraid of bitterness.
The nanny quickly brought the medicine. The empress dowager frowned as she looked at the bowl of black and sticky medicine in front of her. She turned around subconsciously and said in a deep voice: "I just had lunch. It's not appropriate to take the medicine now. Let's put it aside for now."
Ouyang Wu smiled and said: "I don't know, Empress Dowager. You can better absorb the medicine after eating. This medicine should be taken while it's hot. If it's cold, it will be more... bitter." Ouyang Wu emphasized the last word bitter.
The empress dowager frowned more and more. She was uncomfortable and refused to take the medicine. She was pestered by Ouyang Wu and Ye Yao, so she said: "I have never used such bitter medicine!"
Ouyang Wu suppressed his smile and continued to persuade: "It is said that good medicine tastes bitter."
Ye Yao couldn't hold back her laughter. Her grandmother would act like a child at this time, so she used the usual tricks to coax a child and said, "Grandmother, Sister-in-law Wu'er is also doing this for your own good. How can you get better without taking this medicine? Drink it quickly. After you finish, Yao'er will get you some sweets."
The Queen Mother's expression relaxed a little, and Ouyang Wu took the opportunity to bring the medicine to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother didn't want to be looked down upon by Ouyang Wu, so she hardened her heart, took the medicine bowl from Ouyang Wu, raised her head and frowned and drank it.
After drinking it, she felt bitter in her mouth and kept looking at Ye Yao. Didn't she say there were sweets?
Ye Yao felt a little guilty, so she stole a glance at Ouyang Wu.
Ouyang Wu smiled faintly when she saw the Empress Dowager drink the medicine, and called Zhulu who was waiting outside. She took a box from her hand, opened it and took out a plate from it. On the plate, there was a small spoon and a square cake neatly placed. She held both hands in front of the Empress Dowager and said, "This is a snack made by Wu'er herself. Empress Dowager, please try it?"
Ouyang Wu had heard from Ye Yao that the Empress Dowager loved sweets the most, so she made a piece of Black Forest cake specially. It was just made before entering the palace, and it was just right to eat it now.
The Empress Dowager was attracted by the novel dessert and observed it curiously. She saw the dark dessert on the plate. She was a little tempted, but she couldn't bring herself to say it in front of Ouyang Wu. She just snorted lightly: "How can I eat something so black?"
Ouyang Wu was not annoyed. She put the plate on the table beside her with a look of regret. She said as if she remembered something: "This dessert tastes good. The Empress Dowager can try it if she is hungry. Wu'er has something to do in the mansion, so I will leave first."
The Empress Dowager kept looking at the Black Forest Cake. After hearing what Ouyang Wu said, she nodded as if she didn't care. After Ouyang Wu bowed respectfully, she left.
Seeing Ouyang Wu leave, Ye Yao also returned to his palace first.
Fanghua Palace suddenly became deserted. The maid who followed the Empress Dowager saw that the Empress Dowager was very unhappy with the cake, so she couldn't help but say: "Empress Dowager, I will take it away."
The Empress Dowager pouted and didn't say anything. The maid picked up the cake and wanted to put it back in the box, just passing it in front of the Empress Dowager.
The cake flashed in front of her, and the Empress Dowager only felt a sweet smell coming to her nose, so she hummed: "Wait, bring it to me."
The maid brought the plate to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager's mouth was bitter at this time, so she couldn't help but take a small silver spoon to scoop a mouthful into her mouth. After taking a bite, she felt a sweet and soft taste, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her face was full of enjoyment. Then she dug another mouthful, took the cake from the maid's hand and held it in her hand and couldn't put it down anymore.
The taste of chocolate mixed with the taste of cream spread in her mouth. The Queen Mother felt that this dessert was something she had never tasted before, so soft and so sweet.
While tasting it, she saw Ouyang Wu coming in from outside again, holding a very strange cup in her hand.
The Queen Mother held a plate in one hand and a spoon in the other, with a cake in her mouth. When she saw Ouyang Wu coming in with her head down, she was startled and hurriedly put it away. Then she saw that half of the cake was missing from the plate, so she subconsciously swept the plate to the ground, so that Wu'er would not be able to see that she had eaten it secretly.
Ouyang Wu, who was originally thinking about the cup of milk tea to relieve the Empress Dowager's bitterness, was startled by the sound of the plate falling to the ground and looked up. She saw that the Empress Dowager had a trace of embarrassment on her face, and more of an annoyance, staring and scolding: "Why didn't you let me in before coming in? It's so rude!"
The nanny next to her looked embarrassed. In fact, she had already let me in, and the Empress Dowager was eating happily, so she nodded randomly.
Ouyang Wu quickly looked down at the cakes on the ground, and then looked up and saw the cream on the Empress Dowager's lips that she had not had time to wipe off. She felt funny in her heart, but she still pretended to be very respectful on her face and said: "Wu'er disturbed the Empress Dowager's mood, please don't blame me.
Looking at the food on the ground, she seemed very annoyed and said: "The Empress Dowager doesn't like the food made by Wu'er... Wu'er has a cup of milk tea here, which is good for relieving bitterness. Why don't you try it, Empress Dowager? "
"No need..." The Queen Mother was caught eating the cake secretly, which was extremely embarrassing. Although she was thinking about the milk tea in her heart, she refused firmly.
"This..." Ouyang Wu looked at the milk tea in her hand with regret, and thought for a while and said: "Just as Chonghua is about to leave the court, Wu'er will give it to Chonghua. It can't be wasted. Wu'er will take her leave first."
Ouyang Wu ignored the Queen Mother's eager eyes, turned around and left, with a hint of joy on her lips.
The Queen Mother looked at Wu'er's leaving back in annoyance, and then looked at the dirty cake on the ground. She almost wanted to beat her chest. Such a delicious thing!
She actually... She actually fell to the ground like this!
Why did you throw it when you could have hidden it just now!
And the cup of sweet stuff in Wu'er's hand just now, what is that, shouldn't she leave it here? How could she take it away? She said no, but she was actually... I really want it!
The Queen Mother was obsessed with the delicious food made by Ouyang Wu, so she didn't eat much for dinner. She only ate a little and asked the servants to leave. The result of this was that in the middle of the night, the Queen Mother woke up because she was hungry.
The personal nanny saw that the Queen Mother woke up and knew that she was hungry, so she asked the imperial kitchen to make some snacks. But after the Queen Mother tasted Ouyang Wu's Black Forest Cake, these snacks tasted bland in her mouth, like chewing wax. This time, she really felt that what Prince Anyang said was really reasonable. The imperial kitchen made the same taste over and over again, and she was tired of it!
She fell asleep again after eating a few bites. The consequence of sleeping like this was that the Empress Dowager was immersed in delicious food all night long. She dreamed of all kinds of delicious food made by Ouyang Wu, cakes of various shapes, black, white, red, all of which were imagined based on the Black Forest cake she had seen during the day, and various kinds of milk tea. But every time she was about to eat, the food disappeared. This repeated feeling made her feel very upset. When she woke up again, it was already the next morning.
After waking up, the Empress Dowager felt that it was a bit embarrassing to have such a dream, but she couldn't help thinking about the food in her heart, and her mind was a little dazed. She started thinking about it early in the morning. When will Ouyang Wu come to check her pulse, and will she bring her some food?
But until noon, Ouyang Wu still didn't come.
Then she couldn't help but wonder if she was too rude to Wu'er yesterday, which made her afraid to come, and whether she would never come again!Thinking like this, the empress dowager became more and more listless, and even when the emperor came to pay his respects, her expression didn't improve.
After the emperor paid his respects to the empress dowager, he saw that she was so listless, and couldn't help but worry, and asked with concern: "Is mother feeling unwell? Why do you look not so well?
The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I just didn't get enough rest at night."
The Emperor didn't agree, and kept asking worriedly, "Why don't you ask Wu'er to come and check your mother's pulse?"
When she heard Ouyang Wu's name, the Queen Mother's eyes lit up, but then she snorted coldly and said, "I don't want her to treat me!" As soon as she finished speaking, a woman's laughter came from the door.
"Grandmother, you must take care of yourself!" Ye Yao walked over leisurely with a smile on his face, "How can you be so childish again?"
"That's right." The Emperor agreed with Ye Yao's words very much, so he refused to listen to the Queen Mother and insisted on sending someone to invite Ouyang Wu.
Ouyang Wu saw the empress dowager's gloomy look again, which was very different from yesterday. She frowned slightly, bowed, and then went forward to check the empress dowager's pulse carefully. Then she said with relief: "The empress dowager didn't sleep well last night? Wu'er will prescribe some tranquilizers for the empress dowager. After taking them, you will sleep well."
The empress dowager looked at Ouyang Wu, hesitant to speak. Compared with the tranquilizers, she actually wanted to eat Ouyang Wu's snacks more. Thinking of this, she was unhappy in her heart and sat aside with a gloomy face.
Ouyang Wu prescribed some tranquilizers and handed them to the nanny beside her. The emperor knew that the empress dowager was fine, so he left first because he had something to do in the court.
Ouyang Wu saw that nothing was wrong and wanted to leave again, but Ye Yao saw through her thoughts and took the lead to grab her sleeve, shaking her, saying coquettishly: "Sister-in-law Wu'er, your leg was injured these days, and Manji is closed. Yao'er misses the mooncakes you made so much!"
"Hmm?" Ouyang Wu looked at Ye Yao's flattering face and said nothing.
"Besides, you made a kind of snack for the Royal Grandmother yesterday..." Ye Yao ignored the Queen Mother behind her and coughed, then pulled Ouyang Wu and shook her, and continued: "Yao'er wants to eat it too, sister-in-law, make it for me, okay?"
Ouyang Wu smiled at Ye Yao, and couldn't help but glance at the Queen Mother. Seeing that she deliberately turned her head to pick up the teacup to drink tea, but glanced over from time to time, with a strong expectation in her eyes, the smile on Ouyang Wu's face became even stronger.
Looking down and seeing Ye Yao's eager look, Ouyang Wu no longer refused and said straightforwardly: "Since Yao'er wants to eat, then... naturally I will make it for you."
Ye Yao cheered, and the Queen Mother's face was also suppressed with joy, but she heard Ouyang Wu continue: "But the ingredients are all in the mansion, Wu'er will go back to the mansion first, and send it over when it's ready."
Ye Yao was naturally full of joy, holding Ouyang Wu's hand and shaking it vigorously: "Sister-in-law Wu'er, I know you are the best!"
Ouyang Wu smiled and shook her head, and said goodbye to the Queen Mother and left the palace.
After Ouyang Wu left, the Queen Mother's face slowly showed a smile, and her spirits were much better, and her mood was even better.
Ye Yao turned around and saw the Queen Mother's expression. She couldn't help but laugh: "Grandmother, you couldn't sleep last night. You must be missing the snacks made by Sister Wu'er, right?"
The Queen Mother's face turned red when Ye Yao guessed her thoughts. She said with a stern face: "What nonsense? How could it be?"
"Oh, Grandmother, I grew up by your side since I was a child. Don't I know what you are thinking? I obviously want to eat the snacks made by Sister Wu'er, but I can't bring myself to do it." Ye Yao said slowly like an ignorant child.
The Queen Mother couldn't hold her face, so she simply stopped pretending and just tapped Ye Yao's nose: "Be gentle, don't tell her!"
"I know!" Ye Yao's face was very happy. She knew that the Queen Mother would also like Sister Wu'er.
The big and small in the palace were waiting. Ouyang Wu quickly made an eight-inch Black Forest cake and some pudding milk tea, and sent it over.
Ouyang Wu is very confident about the desserts she made. She added space water to them, which made them taste sweet and refreshing, and not greasy at all. Even in modern times, such food is something that many girls never get tired of.
When Ye Yao saw this Black Forest cake, she was so happy that she cried out, took two quick steps forward, lowered her head and sniffed it. The sweet smell made her even more excited. In fact, she was already very greedy yesterday.
There were some black crumbs sprinkled on it. She learned from Ouyang Wu last time that this thing was called chocolate, and it was smooth in the mouth. She loved the chocolate biscuits that Ouyang Wu brought her a few days ago and couldn't bear to eat them! During this period, she liked this flavor the most.
Seeing her greedy, Ouyang Wu smiled and put the Black Forest cake on an empty plate on the table, took out a cake knife, and cut a large piece for her. Ye Yao happily took it and scooped a mouthful into her mouth.
She hummed a satisfying note in her nose, and then she devoured the food without the grace of a princess. She said even when her mouth was full: "It's delicious!"
The Queen Mother couldn't help but glare at Ye Yao, and she felt a little sour in her heart. This damn girl, once she had something to eat, she forgot about the Queen Mother. She also thought of the cake that she didn't eat a few bites yesterday, and she felt even more impatient.
Ouyang Wu smiled and watched Ye Yao finish the big piece. After waiting for a long time, she cut another piece for her. Ye Yao hurriedly took it, forgetting that the Queen Mother was waiting.
The Queen Mother looked at Ye Yao eating with her mouth full, and she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart. Damn girl, damn girl!
Ouyang Wu finally couldn't stand the empress dowager's eager eyes. She seemed to feel the empress dowager's presence. She lowered her head and cut a small piece from the cake. She put it in front of the empress dowager with embarrassment and said, "Empress Dowager, Wu'er knows that you don't like what Wu'er makes... But if you are hungry, just try some."
"I won't eat it..." The empress dowager blurted out these three words without thinking, and then she regretted it. But when she looked at Ouyang Wu, she didn't look at her at all. She just cut a piece for herself as if she didn't care, and lowered her head to eat the food on her plate carefully.
After sitting like this for a while, the empress dowager saw that both of them ignored her, and she couldn't resist the sweet smell of the cake in front of her. Finally, she took a spoon and scooped a bite into her mouth. The sweet taste, well, seemed a little different from yesterday. It seemed that some fruit pulp was added in it, and the fragrance was overflowing, which was even more delicious!
The Queen Mother ate more and more happily, and soon finished the cake in front of her, and looked at the cake in the middle with embarrassment. She wanted to eat a second piece, but she couldn't bring herself to say it, so she looked at Ye Yao who was still swallowing it fiercely with even more resentment, damn dead girl!
Seeing that Ye Yao was swallowing hard, Ouyang Wu poured her a cup of milk tea. As soon as the milk tea was poured out, the whole room was immediately filled with a sweet smell.
Ye Yao picked up the milk tea and took a sip. The delicate taste and smooth pudding made her lick her lips: "It's so delicious!" The Queen Mother felt very uncomfortable when she saw that Ouyang Wu had no intention of pouring her some tea. She coughed deliberately and said, "I am a little thirsty..." "Wu'er, let Mama pour some tea for the Queen Mother." Ouyang Wu held back her laughter and said tremblingly. The Queen Mother had a hard time speaking because she had refused before. She looked at the milk tea with extremely resentful eyes. Ye Yao was too happy to eat. She ate most of the cake and drank three cups of milk tea in one breath. She choked after eating and kept burping. She couldn't stop and looked at Ouyang Wu for help. Ouyang Wu smiled helplessly, then took out a long needle from the needle bag she brought with her, picked up Ye Yao's hand, found the acupuncture point on her hand, and just pricked it lightly. Ye Yao, who had been hiccuping non-stop, was cured all of a sudden.
Ye Yao looked at Ouyang Wu with admiration, and stopped hiccuping. She touched her belly very comfortably and said, "Sister-in-law Wu'er, I didn't expect you to make such delicious food. Brother Feibai is so lucky, and he doesn't have to worry about being too full!"
Ouyang Wu smiled lightly, and looked at Ye Yao's round belly and laughed even more happily: "You, too greedy."
The Queen Mother watched them talking happily, she was very unhappy, very unhappy. Just now, she secretly cut a piece of cake while the two were not paying attention, and ate it by herself, but when she saw Ouyang Wu suddenly looking at her, she hurriedly swallowed the last bite, and then... she was also a little choked.
Ouyang Wu secretly laughed in her heart. The Queen Mother was really arrogant.
Looking at the Queen Mother's uncomfortable face, she pretended not to see the cake she swallowed in one bite, and said anxiously with a look of panic: "Quick Queen Mother, Quick Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?"
"None of your business! Hiccup, go back, go back now!" The Queen Mother felt sour in her heart, and now she decided not to let Ouyang Wu treat her, she didn't want to be laughed at by her.
Ouyang Wu had no choice but to return to Prince Ning's Mansion first, seeing that the Queen Mother was just choking, and even Ye Yao was driven out by the Queen Mother.
As soon as the two left, the Queen Mother said to the nanny: "Quick, quick, call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician!"
The Imperial Physician Wang came very quickly. He was also the imperial physician that the Queen Mother trusted very much. When the Queen Mother saw him, she felt relieved and whispered something to him.
When the Imperial Physician Wang heard that the Queen Mother was choking, he immediately told her to drink more water, and that would be fine.
The Queen Mother remembered that she had not yet taken a sip of the milk tea, and she was even more upset. She didn't want to drink any water!
Then she thought about it again. Ouyang Wu had only given Ye Yao an injection just now, and where did she inject it? It seemed to be on the hand. Thinking of this, she stretched out her hand and handed it to Doctor Wang, saying, "Well, it's here, you just need to inject it!"
"Here?" Doctor Wang looked at the Queen Mother with some embarrassment.
"No, it should be here." The Queen Mother thought about it and felt that it was not, so she pointed to another place. Doctor Wang looked at it and couldn't do it. The Queen Mother kept hiccuping and felt very uncomfortable. She kept urging, "Hurry up, I saw it clearly just now, she injected it here, hurry up, hiccup, hurry up!"
Doctor Wang was urged to no avail, and injected it at the place where the Queen Mother pointed.
Then there was only a sound of "ah", and then the Queen Mother's mouth... was crooked.
Doctor Wang was also shocked. He looked at the Queen Mother's mouth and didn't know what to do. Nanny Yin beside the Queen Mother hurriedly reported the matter to the Emperor.
After listening to Nanny's report, the Emperor called Ye Yao to ask questions. After understanding the whole thing, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The Queen Mother is so old, how can she still be like a child? He remembered what Nanny said just now, the Queen Mother's mouth... It's better to call Wu'er quickly.
Thinking of this, the Emperor hurriedly summoned Ouyang Wu. When Ouyang Wu heard about this, she was even more at a loss than the Emperor, and hurried into the palace. This was the second time she rushed to the palace today. Ouyang Wu felt helpless.
When Ouyang Wu arrived, the emperor was already waiting outside the Fanghua Palace. When he saw Ouyang Wu coming, he didn't know what to say to Wu'er. He just coughed and said, "Wu'er, please take a look at the empress dowager. After all, she is an old lady. You should care about her more." "Yes, Wu'er knows." Ouyang Wu nodded obediently. As soon as she entered the Fanghua Palace, she saw the empress dowager sitting with a bitter face. Well, her mouth was indeed crooked. Ouyang Wu hurried forward. Doctor Wang was still beside her. He told her the situation in detail. Ouyang Wu understood it. After taking the needle she brought with her, she still pulled the empress dowager's hand. After just a few needles, the empress dowager's mouth could return to its normal position. Ouyang Wu carefully took out the needle with a smile on her face. The empress dowager stretched out her hand and rubbed her chin. She felt more and more embarrassed when she saw Ouyang Wu, so she turned her head away and stopped looking at her. Ouyang Wu saw that the Queen Mother was uncomfortable again, so she didn't stay any longer, bowed and wanted to leave.
The Queen Mother, who had been turning her head to the side, suddenly turned back and said, "Wait a minute."
Then, reluctantly, she took off a string of tourmalines from her hand and said nonchalantly, "I don't want this string of things anymore!" "Oh?" Ouyang Wu stared at the Queen Mother, then looked at the string of tourmalines.
"If you want it, take it. If you don't want it, just throw it away." The Queen Mother said with a puffed face.
Ouyang Wu couldn't help laughing in her heart. She knew that the tourmaline string was quite old and was a very good thing. Knowing that the Queen Mother had accepted her, she smiled and said, "Thank you for the reward."
"I didn't give it to you, I was..."
Ouyang Wu couldn't help but blink at her and said with a smile, "Wu'er knows that the Queen Mother loves Wu'er."
After Ouyang Wu left, the Queen Mother, who had been frowning, finally couldn't hold it back and laughed. It was indeed like Ye Yao said, her sister-in-law Wu'er was very good!
