Chapter 137: Unexpected
"Is the dish still to taste?" the Queen Mother suddenly asked during the banquet. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the Queen Mother asked casually, the harem concubines were all sensitive. They all smiled and said: "It's very close, thank you for the kindness of the Queen Mother." ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she smiled and said: "So you have seen the outside, just an ordinary family banquet, and there is no hospitality." You have a good time today, and the mourning family will be satisfied. ”
"Yes, the concubines obey the decree. The concubines replied with a laugh in unison.
"However, today's dishes are indeed different from those in Changle Palace in the past. Yi Ling has never had any scruples in front of the Queen Mother, and said bluntly with a smile, "Auntie, have your tastes changed recently?"
"You ghost girl is clever!" the Queen Mother said with a smile, "However, it's not that the taste of the mourning family has changed, but that there is someone else in charge of the meal today." ”
Chu Tianze listened silently for so long, and it was only at this time that the corners of his lips hooked slightly. Ling'er asked unintentionally, but it was in the middle of the queen mother's arms. Isn't it just to mention this for such a long time? Oh, I just don't want to, this queen mother would help Concubine Xian like this.
Concubine Xian heard the conversation between the Queen Mother and Yi Ling, and she was secretly happy, she was looking forward to this whole dinner!
"Auntie, who is in charge of the meal?" Yi Ling asked curiously.
The concubines and concubines also waited silently for the answer in confusion, this banquet in Changle Palace, the Queen Mother was relieved to ask others to be responsible?
The Queen Mother looked at Yi Ling with a smile, and also glanced at everyone, her eyes lingered on Chu Tianze for a while, and finally fell on Concubine Xian: "It's Concubine Xian, today's meals are all arranged by her hands." ”
"It turned out to be Sister Xian. Yi Ling didn't expect that person to be the concubine here. No, after the current situation, she was still interested, and praised with a busy smile: "I say, who would have such a delicate mind, and common meals can make so many different tricks." If it's Sister Xianfei, then everything makes sense!"
"My sister praised too much, but it just took some careful thought...... "Concubine Xian was praised like this, and she was naturally proud in her heart, but some polite words were always inevitable: "As long as everyone is happy." Concubine Xian said, looked at Chu Tianze affectionately, and said softly: "If the emperor thinks it is good, he can use it more, and the concubine will be satisfied." ”
It turned out to please the emperor...... This virtuous concubine is ingenious and well-intentioned. But it is true that Concubine Xian has that ability, and she can let the Queen Mother also help her and cooperate with her to come out like this. Although all the concubines and concubines understood Concubine Xian's "intentions" at this time, they still had to pretend that they didn't see through anything, and just complimented: "It's Concubine Xian who is too modest, but it makes my sister bother, so we can enjoy such deliciousness!"
"Yes, yes......" everyone responded.
Concubine Xian was very happy in her heart. She wanted to see how Chu Tianze reacted at this time, and whether she was also looking at herself with great joy. He glanced at Chu Tianze quietly, but the situation was beyond the expectations of Concubine Xian.
Chu Tianze held the wine cup in his hand, sipped the wine expressionlessly, and only occasionally ate some dishes in small bites, and never tasted much, as if he was not very satisfied with the meal......
Concubine Xian was secretly anxious in her heart, and she begged the Queen Mother to let her be in charge of the meals at today's banquet, and bothered to command the dining room for an afternoon, but she didn't care about resting, just to let Chu Tianze notice. But Chu Tianze's cold reaction really made Concubine Xian anxious, angry, and sad......
The Queen Mother also kept paying attention to Chu Tianze's reaction, and then looked at Concubine Xian's anxious appearance and shook her head.
"Emperor, do you have any favorite dishes?" Concubine Xian has been busy in the dining room all afternoon, and you don't evaluate it?" the Queen Mother finally asked.
When Concubine Xian heard this, she looked at the Queen Mother gratefully, and then her eyes couldn't wait to turn to Chu Tianze, expecting him to say something praising herself.
Finally couldn't hold back and found himself, Chu Tianze smiled secretly in his heart. Chu Tianze looked at the Queen Mother expressionlessly, then looked at Concubine Xian, paused, and then smiled: "It's bothering." ”
Just these three words? Concubine Xian's heart was disappointed for a while, this is not even a boast! Concubine Xian nodded awkwardly and replied respectfully: "The concubine should be." Then he sat down silently, speechless, and his heart was full of irritation.
Concubine Xian didn't understand or understand the implied meaning of Chu Tianze's three words, but the Queen Mother understood it. The look in Chu Tianze's eyes when he looked at himself still had the three words "meaningful...... Chu Tianze didn't mean that Concubine Chen bothered to prepare meals, but that she and Concubine Chen bothered to arrange these, but there was another purpose!
And the concubines next to her more or less guessed the deep meaning of Chu Tianze's words, and they couldn't help but gloat a little in their hearts. Concubine Xian is so bothered, even the queen mother helps, it's not that she can't get into the eyes of the emperor? It is better to be like them, keep their duties, although they may not be able to make the Yellow Emperor notice her, but at least it will not annoy the emperor.
Even though the Queen Mother knew Chu Tianze's dissatisfaction with Concubine Xian and her help with Concubine Xian, she didn't think she was at fault. As the queen mother, when the imperial heir is thin and the harem has not come out for many years, she naturally has reason and qualifications to persuade the emperor to move around the harem more and let the imperial heir continue. The reason for the thinness of the imperial heir is that on the one hand, the emperor is busy with court affairs, and on the other hand, the concubine fails to grasp a trace of the sacred heart. If there is a way to let the harem concubines get the Sacred Heart, she will naturally try her best to help, so she did not refuse the request of the concubine this time.
Since this is already the case, the Queen Mother looked at Chu Tianze and simply made her words clear: "Emperor, the mourning family thinks that you should go to the harem more often. The imperial heir is thin, and you still don't have a prince, which is really unreasonable. It's not an excuse that the government is busy, even if it's for the sake of the world, you should have a prince!"
The Queen Mother's words fell, and there was silence in the hall, and no one dared to speak out at this time. The Empress Dowager talked about this matter with the emperor so seriously, and the emperor and the empress dowager were not very harmonious, didn't this make their relationship worse? Although the concubines had to admit that the Empress Dowager's words were beneficial to all of them present. No one wants the emperor to visit the harem more often than them......
Chu Tianze only paused for a moment, then said with a smile: "What the Queen Mother said is reasonable." The case in the Northland has just ended, and I guess I can be more relaxed these days. ”
Everyone, including the Queen Mother and the concubines, was stunned when they heard Chu Tianze's words, this was definitely not the answer they could imagine Chu Tianze would say! For a while, all the eyes in the hall looked at Chu Tianze.
"Okay, I still have to go to Yiyuan, one step ahead!" Chu Tianze said casually, then looked at Concubine Chen, and asked, "Let's go together?" )
