Chapter 144 Are you so greedy

He said too much about Gu Xi's goodness, but instead made the two of them even more resentful to Gu Xi. She was angry that she was obedient before, but now she was disobedient and unfilial.

"My daughter heard that the nobles in the palace rewarded meals or pastries to ministers and wives, which was particularly important. This was closer than rewarding silk and satin. Perhaps the empress dowager really valued her sister very much."

Gu Rong said, sweeping her eyes over the pastry placed beside her, suppressing her strong jealousy,

"Looking at this pastry, it is exquisite and beautiful. My mother also said that it was the queen mother who loved it or the emperor ordered the imperial kitchen to make it for the queen mother. This meaning is even more special."

Mrs. Hou's thoughts were interrupted, she looked at Gu Rong with approval, and said with a smile,

"Rong'er is right. The Empress Dowager really values ​​love Xi'er. We'd better stop thinking about Xi'er's affairs first, and do whatever she wants."

When the old lady heard Gu Rong say this, she also felt that the pastry became more precious, which made her feel uncomfortable.

She has lived all her life and is also a fifth-rank maid. She has only entered the palace for a few banquets, but she has never received any food from the nobles in the palace.

I don't know what this pastry tastes like.

Gu Rong saw that the old lady wanted to eat it, and in order to please her, of course she was also curious about how delicious the exquisite pastries made in the imperial kitchen in the palace could be, so she said,

"My granddaughter is greedy and hasn't eaten anything from the palace. I really want to have a bite to try it, but my sister said it's an offering and can't be eaten."

"Don't listen to her! What can't be eaten? There are so many pieces that are worshipped, and the ancestors can't finish eating them. We will taste the flavors one by one, and then worship the rest."

The old lady wanted to eat it, and she was angry with Gu Xi, so she insisted on eating it if she didn't let her eat it, so she said.

"...Mom, this is not good." Mrs. Hou frowned and looked at Gu Rong next to her, a little dissatisfied with her proposal just now.

"Mother, Rong'er is wrong, Rong'er is no longer greedy." Gu Rong immediately lowered her head and admitted her mistake, looking aggrieved.

"Why are you glaring at Rong'er? Rong'er grew up in the countryside. Apart from suffering, she has never eaten good things. She is greedy and wants to taste it. What's wrong with her?"

The old lady defended Gu Rong and glared at Mrs. Hou.

"Even if the empress dowager rewards it, it's just a few pieces of pastries. You can eat it if you want. What's the point of fighting for?" said the marquis.

He also took the initiative to bring the pastry over, picked up a piece and handed it to Gu Rong, and said with love, "Eat it, eat two more pieces."

"Father is so nice to me." Gu Rong showed a flattered look, and then she handed the pastry to the old lady.

"Grandmother eats first."

"Rong'er is so filial." The old lady praised with a smile, took the pastry and took a bite.

Although it was cold, the old lady felt that the taste was still good. The pastry was small, so she finished her bite and was still a little unsatisfied.

It is worthy of being made in the imperial kitchen, which is more delicious than the snacks in their mansion.

"Rong'er, this pastry is good, you can eat it quickly, too." The old lady said lovingly with a smile.

She also asked the Marquis and the Marquis to eat one piece.

Gu Rong was about to eat, but at this time, a notification came from outside.

"Master, Madam, Old Madam, someone has come from the palace."

The Marquis and others were startled and stood up in a hurry. Gu Rong hesitated for a moment and quickly put the pastry down instead of stuffing it into her mouth.

Several people rushed out and went out to greet them.

The people who came from the palace were the eunuch Wu, the eunuch who was beside the empress dowager, and more than a dozen eunuchs, each holding the rewards in his hands, which looked spectacular.

"I have met Eunuch Wu." The Marquis also knew the eunuch general manager. Seeing that he was coming in person, he saw so many things, he hurriedly greeted him politely.

"Hello, you are polite. Our family will come to give the reward to Miss Gu at the order of the Empress Dowager."

Eunuch Wu glanced at them, and when he saw Gu Xi, he knew that it seemed that Miss Gu and the people in the Hou Mansion were indeed very ordinary.

Eunuch Wu continued,

"The Empress said that Miss Gu not only had a relationship with her, but also a lucky girl. The two pastries she wanted to leave were poisonous and saved the Empress's life. The Empress was grateful and gave her a generous reward..."

"What?! Pastry is poisonous!"

The old lady exclaimed, she didn't feel bad just now, and when she heard this, she suddenly felt dizzy and could no longer stand.

Then the old lady closed her eyes and fainted.

The Marquis, the Marquis, and Gu Rong all changed their faces, one paler than the other. Gu Rong even took two steps back in panic and fearfulness, and was trembling all over.

Just now, she was a little short of it, so she ate the poisonous pastry.

Fortunately, before she could eat, someone came to the palace!

At such a critical moment, she was indeed taking the heroine script!

Gu Rong patted her chest and comforted herself like this. Her fear and panic gradually faded and calmed down.

However, she turned her head to look at the old lady who had fainted, and her heart that had just settled up suddenly rose again.

She just proposed to eat pastries, if the old lady was poisoned to death...

Gu Rong shuddered again, wouldn’t she become the one who poisoned her grandmother?

Then how could she become famous and how could she get other people's favorites?

No, Gu Xi took back this pastry!

The key is that Gu Xi is also harmed!

Although Gu Rong thought so, she knew that she was trying to make a mistake and she couldn't get rid of the responsibility at all.

In any case, the old lady cannot die!

Can this poison really kill people? But don’t!

Mrs. Hou was really angry and regretful. She regretted it so much when they were about to eat pastries just now, why didn’t she be tougher to stop her?

If the old lady dies, Rong'er will probably be charged with poisoning her grandmother, and she will be over in this life!

The Marquis was completely confused, frightened, afraid, worried, and afraid that the Empress Dowager would learn that they were stealing pastries.

How can pastries be poisonous?!

Could it be that Gu Xi knew that he brought it back and wanted to harm them?

No, the Marquis quickly shook his head. Gu Xi was not that vicious. Even if she complained about them in her heart, she would not be able to use the pastries in the palace to harm them.

This is the poison in the palace, it is definitely a very poison.

He almost ate it just now!

When the Marquis thought of this, his body trembled and his body was covered in cold sweat.

But his mother ate a whole piece of pastry, she wouldn't be poisoned to death, right?

The marquis looked at his own mother, and his eyes were red and told his servants to move her back to the yard soon, and then asked someone to invite the doctor.

"Dad father-in-law, do you know what poison is in this pastry? Is there an antidote?" Mrs. Hou asked nervously.

The corners of Eunuch Wu's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that they would actually eat pastries.

Are you so greedy?!

"The imperial physician in the palace is still investigating, but he will not take any life for a while." Eunuch Wu lowered his face.

"Miss Gu is going to come back to worship this pastry. Didn't she say she can't eat it? Why did you still eat it?"
