"Get up," Zhong Zhiheng nodded, raising his feet to cross the threshold, and said casually, "Has the Queen Mother eaten?"
"My Lord Long Live, dinner has just been prepared in the small kitchen. When the Queen Mother heard that Lord Long Live was coming, she invited Lord Long Live to come in and have a meal with her." Bi Qiao said with a smile.
"It just so happened that I also wanted to come to your place to have a meal," Zhong Zhiheng curled his lips and walked slowly into the hall, "Mother, my son has come to your place to have a meal."
"It's rare today," the Queen Mother stood up from the soft couch with a smile, put down the Buddhist beads in her hand, walked up to Zhong Zhiheng, stretched out her hand to straighten out the knotted sachet and jade pendant on Zhong Zhiheng's waist, and then Taking Zhong Zhiheng's hand and walking toward the side hall, he said, "The Ai family hasn't had a meal with you for a long time. You should talk to the Ai family more today."
"Yes, my son also wants to spend more time with his mother," Zhong Zhiheng said. As he sat down with the Queen Mother, he personally made a bowl of whitebait and water shield soup for the Queen Mother and placed it in front of him. "It's just for eating whitebait." When it’s time to prepare the water shield, Queen Mother, please try it.”
The Queen Mother loved two dishes in her life, one was whitebait and water shield soup, and the other was roasted yellow sheep. Whitebait and water shield in spring, and roasted yellow sheep in autumn. Over the years, Zhong Zhiheng and Ping Xi Wang have never missed it. The two brothers have always maintained this tacit understanding.
“It’s so delicious,” the Queen Mother couldn’t help but sigh as she took a bite of the whitebait and water shield soup in the bowl. “Just to get this whitebait and water shield soup, I don’t know how many horses have to be raced to death and how many people have been exhausted. , It’s really extravagant.”
Water shield only grows in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and whitebait is not a product of the capital. These two are the most inconvenient to store and can only be eaten fresh. Therefore, a lot of manpower and material resources are spent every year to make this whitebait and water shield soup. , the so-called delicacies from mountains and seas are nothing more than that.
"As long as the queen mother likes to eat, it doesn't matter if a few horses die or a few people die?" Zhong Zhiheng said while filling a bowl and drinking it slowly.
But the Queen Mother couldn't drink anymore. She put down the bowl in her hand, looked at Zhong Zhiheng, and then asked after a while: "Is there anything on your mind?"
"No," Zhong Zhiheng also put down the bowl in his hand, took the handkerchief from Bi Qiao's hand and gently wiped his mouth, while looking at the Queen Mother, he said lightly, "It's just that King Pingxi is coming back, son. I came here specifically to say something to my mother."
"Wha, what? Ling'er is going back to Beijing?" The Queen Mother was stunned immediately, and then the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. She has always been the most dignified and noble woman, but at this time, her face could not hide her excitement, " Is he really coming back?"
The king of Pingxi was named Zhong Zhiling.
Zhong Zhiheng looked at the Queen Mother's hand tightly clenching the chopsticks, and when she spoke again, her voice was even softer: "Yes, the Queen Mother's seventieth birthday is coming soon, and King Pingxi wants to come back to pay his respects to the Queen Mother this year."
"This child, finally..." The Queen Mother couldn't hide her excitement. After all, she hadn't seen her youngest son for decades. Her eyes were red for a while. She took a breath and looked at Zhong Zhiheng again, " But when did you say it would arrive?"
"Early July," Zhong Zhiheng said slowly, while looking at the sticky whitebait and water shield soup, he said coldly, "I should be able to arrive in time for Siyao's memorial day."
The Queen Mother's face suddenly froze, and the smile at the corner of her mouth disappeared. She looked at Zhong Zhiheng's indifferent face, her lips trembled a few times, as if she wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it.
"The Queen Mother must miss her seventh brother very much, right?" In the middle of the silence, Zhong Zhiheng looked at the Queen Mother with raised eyebrows, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a faint smile, "It must have been so many years since we last met."
"Yes, we haven't seen each other for so many years," the Queen Mother nodded, pursed her lips, and added, "The Ai family, like the Emperor, miss King Pingxi."
"Really?" Zhong Zhiheng smiled even bigger, threw the handkerchief on the table, stood up and walked out.
"My slave, I send you to your Majesty!" Bi Qiao was so busy that she saluted.
"Biqiao," the Queen Mother sat in a daze, and finally spoke after a long while. She looked at Biqiao in panic, "Do you think the emperor will take action against Lao Qi?"
"No, Queen Mother, you are worrying too much!" Bi Qiao came over in a hurry, holding on to the Queen Mother's back, while comforting, "King Pingxi is the leading pillar of the Zhou Dynasty. In the past few decades, He has also been guarding the northern border. With him around, the Turks dare not invade the border. No matter how much he has a grudge against King Pingxi, he does not dare to attack easily. The Northwest Army must only listen to King Pingxi's orders. If Pingxi If something goes wrong with Wang Zai in the capital, wouldn't the Northern Territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty be in chaos? Long live the Lord is not a fool, Queen Mother, just keep your heart in your stomach!"
