Chapter 385 See you next time
When the Queen Mother saw Qi Ning'an was about to leave, she turned around and sat down silently, feeling extremely lonely.
Qi Ning'an had just finished talking to Master Daoqing when he turned around and saw the pitiful appearance of the Empress Dowager. He couldn't help feeling sad. What a lovely little old lady.
I wonder how many women's lives have been locked up within this palace wall.
"Grandma, I also want to take you to the restaurant. There are a lot of delicious food in my restaurant. Although it is not as good as the delicacies in the palace, it is also really delicious."
Qi Ning'an listed several foods, and even Master Daoqing, who was standing aside pretending not to understand, couldn't help but drool.
Although I had a good meal last night, I can’t eat that well every time.
In addition, the names of the dishes mentioned by Princess Zhaoping were not as fancy as those in big restaurants. Instead, they were simple and easy to understand, directly stating the ingredients and methods. This simple and easy to understand method made Master Daoqing very excited.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but be moved. She looked aggrieved and disappointed just now, but now her eyes were full of excitement.
But when she turned around and looked at the nanny beside her, she could only lower her brows slightly. It was not impossible for her to leave the palace, but every time she went out, she had to make a big fuss, with all the preparations and guards, which made people around her uncomfortable for no reason.
The reason I like Qi Ning'an is because this girl is unconventional and carefree. It would be a lot of trouble if she went out.
"Forget it, forget it. I'm old and can't walk anymore. You can just bring it down for grandma to eat next time."
As she said this, the Queen Mother waved her hand and was about to send them away.
But Qi Ning'an saw the psychological changes of the Queen Mother. In fact, this was not difficult, as almost everyone around her could see it.
Seeing her go from excitement to disappointment in just a short moment, Qi Ningan felt very upset. This huge palace wall surrounded so many people, as well as his original self and his former self.
At that time, even if you wanted to eat something small, you had to hide for fear of being discovered, let alone anything else.
"If you want to go out, Empress Dowager, I will report to the Emperor right away. You can leave when you are ready."
The nanny beside her was not very comfortable seeing the change in the Empress Dowager's expression, but this was the imperial palace, and such things had to be done according to the rules no matter what, otherwise if something went wrong, no one would be able to take the responsibility.
"Forget it, forget it, don't bother. The emperor is exhausted from managing the affairs of the court every day, so don't bother him with these matters."
The Queen Mother sat at the top, her face looking decadent, then she regained her serious look.
The nanny wanted to say something else, but the Empress Dowager gave her a look and she stopped talking.
The Queen Mother looked at Qi Ning'an below and liked her more and more. "An'an, next time, even if grandma doesn't look for you, you have to remember grandma. Look, you said that there are so many delicious foods in your restaurant. Even if you bring one at a time, I guess grandma won't be able to finish them before she dies."
She said it straightforwardly and lightly, but Qi Ning'an hurriedly said, "Pooh, pooh, pooh, what are you talking about, grandma? I will definitely bring more next time. Besides, my restaurant can't afford such good ingredients as those in the palace. Every time I go to the palace, I cook a meal for grandma. Grandma is making money. No one else can eat it."
Having said this, Qi Ning'an really made the Empress Dowager laugh again.
It was at this moment that Qi Ning'an suddenly had an inspiration. He had been thinking, how could the Lake House be made more distinctive?
Now it is easy to think of planting the entire garden with trees that bloom in different seasons, and transforming the smaller trees in each season. Then there will be different flowers to see in each season. In fact, just walking in the temple will make you feel good.
The area of Huguangzhai is almost as large as a park in a small county town, which can fully meet these needs.
Thinking of this, Qi Ning'an was very excited, "Grandma, when the temple is built, come out to find me if you have the chance!"
At this point, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "The world outside the palace walls is very exciting."
Although he lowered his voice, almost all the palace maids present heard it, and everyone was amused by this funny guy again.
Qi Ning'an also laughed. The Queen Mother looked at the sky and said hurriedly, "You should go back quickly. The palace walls will be locked soon and it will be difficult to leave."
"Grandma, please take good care of your health."
"You too, sweetheart."
While waiting for the carriage, the two of them kept talking to each other and were reluctant to leave.
Although she was a little reluctant, the Queen Mother did not want to force Qi Ning'an to stay, so when she left, she loaded another box of small things onto Qi Ning'an's carriage.
Qi Ningan couldn't hold back in the car. This was like a blind box, and he was tempted to open it.
Finally, Qi Ning'an opened the small box. Jin Xi Jin Bao was very tired today and was not in the mood to open it on the way.
In the Marquis' Mansion, the rules they learned were that this could not be done and that could not be said.
But Qi Ning'an never seems to be bound by these rules. He is so free that people can't help but envy him.
Today is Jin Xi's second time to enter the palace. She came here once before with the young master, but the young master was much less worrying. He never said anything he shouldn't say, nor did he do anything he shouldn't do.
She was so dignified and serious that she only needed to follow him all day and pretend that she couldn't hear or see anything.
But the young lady was different. Although she did not do anything presumptuous, she knew more rules than them, whether she was sitting in the carriage or walking.
However, Jin Ji always felt his hair stand on end, as if the young lady would get into trouble at any time.
So I couldn't help but be extremely nervous. I was nervous for the whole day, but found out that nothing happened and I was even rewarded.
I couldn't help but be curious about what method the young lady used. It seemed like many things were wrong, but they weren't.
It seems that the young lady only knows where the red line in the palace is. She will look at it from a distance but never touch it. However, everyone around her is afraid that she will touch it.
Qi Ningan opened the small box, which was mostly filled with head ornaments and jewelry, but this time, they were more pleasing than the last time, at least Qi Ningan thought so.
The jewelry she bought last time were basically made of gold, silver, jewels and jade. Although they were valuable, Qi Ning'an rarely wore them on weekdays, which was a waste.
Perhaps the Empress Dowager knew that she found it troublesome, so today all the jewelry she bought were made of fabric, embroidered, and velvet flowers.
Although it is also a valuable item, it is much more cheerful than common items such as gold, silver, jewelry, and jade, and the cost is not that high.
