Chapter 129: Impatience
Concubine Wan went to Qi Yuan's Qianxi Palace, of course, in the name of sending soup to replenish her body, but at this time, Qi Yuan was playing chess with Fu Xiuyuan, and when she heard Concubine Wan's voice asking to see her, Qi Yuan frowned unconsciously.
Of course, Fu Xiuyuan knew that Qi Yuan didn't like Concubine Wan, and of course, he didn't like this distant cousin very much, so he could also understand Qi Yuan's troubles.
"But I think cousin, you better let her in, or you'll have to go to your aunt's to make a fuss." Fu Xiuyuan held a chess piece and smiled.
Qi Yuan's brows furrowed deeply, although he was unwilling, but it was true that as Qi Yuan said, if he didn't see her, he would definitely go to his mother to make trouble.
So he could only let Concubine Wan come in first, he didn't want Concubine Wan to disturb his queen mother.
Concubine Wan saw that Fu Xiuyuan was also slightly stunned for a moment, and then showed a smile, looking very gentle and elegant, although her appearance was far different from her real appearance.
"Majesty, cousin!" Concubine Wan shouted coquettishly.
Fu Xiuyuan nodded out of politeness, but Qi Yuan's impatience was more obvious.
"What's the matter?" Qi Yuan frowned and asked.
Concubine Wan smiled and took a food box from the palace maid's hand: "Qingwei personally prepared a cup of soup for Her Majesty, please try it for my cousin, and a few small snacks, cousin Xiuyuan can also try it." After speaking, Concubine Wan put the food box on the table next to her, and then opened the lid, but there was a rich aroma, and there were a few milky white pastries, sprinkled with black sesame seeds, which looked sweet and attractive.
Qi Yuan's brows didn't stretch when he looked at Concubine Wan, he didn't think that Liu Qingwei would stew soup, and there was a good chance that the palace maids would do it for him.
"Cousin, you can taste it......" Liu Qingwei held the soup cup in her hand, and then wanted to hand it to Qi Yuan.
Chang De saw Qi Yuan's displeasure, and stepped forward with a smile: "Concubine Wan Niangniang, give the soup to the minions." ”
But Liu Qingwei obviously never understood Qi Yuan's dislike for her, so she frowned, and there was some anger on her face: "You slave, how can the soup stewed by this palace allow you to be defiled!" ”
Defile, defile......
The corners of Changde's mouth twitched, he has served the emperor personally for so many years, he must test for poison in every dish, and if necessary, there are eunuchs to try, can these become defilements.
"Give the soup to Changde." Qi Yuan said coldly, and then dropped a piece on the chessboard without changing his face.
Fu Xiuyuan looked at his black chess pieces and was suddenly eaten by white chess, and his face was simply colorful.
And Liu Qingwei, who was ordered by Qi Yuan, had an even more ugly face, and said aggrievedly: "Cousin......"
"I've said many times that I don't want to repeat it, in the harem, you shouldn't be called that." Qi Yuan said coldly.
Liu Qingwei's face looked better now, and she handed the soup to Changde with shaking hands, her eyes were red, and then she was about to cry: "Cousin...... Majesty, Qingwei knew that it was wrong...... Qingwei just wants to get closer to Her Majesty Xià......"
Liu Qingwei has actually always been confident in her relationship with Qi Yuan, after all, she is also Qi Yuan's cousin, and Qi Yuan's aunt is so good to her, which other concubines can't catch up. But Qi Yuan really didn't give her face, so Liu Qingwei was really wronged in her heart now.
Why didn't her cousin love her so much!
But the more aggrieved ones are yet to come.
"If it's okay to leave, I and Xiuyuan have important matters to discuss." Qi Yuan unceremoniously gave Liu Qingwei an eviction order, he was in a bad mood now, and he didn't want to fake anything with Concubine Wan.
Liu Qingwei was stunned for a moment when she heard Qi Yuan's words, and her face turned pale: "Your Majesty, Qingwei is still ...... That soup ......."
She's only been here for a long time, and her cousin hasn't even touched her soup, so it's too embarrassing for her to leave like this.
"Leave the soup aside, I don't want to drink it yet." Qi Yuan looked at her coldly.
Liu Qingwei really had no choice now, she stiffened her body and bent over, her face was blue: "The concubine retired!" ”
Then he left the Qianxi Palace with an ugly face.
Only Qi Yuan and Fu Xiuyuan were left in the inner hall, and Qi Yuan coldly asked Changde to take the soup down and either divide it or pour it.
Chang De was about to retreat, anyway, this was a very common thing, and he didn't know how many soups and pastries he had dealt with from his concubines.
But Fu Xiuyuan stretched out his hand and asked Changde to wait.
"You can drink it if you want." Qi Yuan opened his mouth and said.
Fu Xiuyuan shrugged his shoulders, he didn't want to drink it, but he felt that this soup must be unusual.
Lifting the lid of the blue and white porcelain, the fragrance suddenly filled the entire inner sanctum, and at the same time, it carried a little fishy smell.
"Oh, angelica mutton soup, it's really a good supplement!" Fu Xiuyuan looked at Qi Yuan with some shyness, this is an excellent soup for men, it seems that his cousin's mind is really clear enough.
And Qi Yuan's face was even more ugly when he saw that soup.
Changde immediately brought out the soup.
Fu Xiuyuan suddenly laughed, and the depression of losing the chess disappeared immediately, what could be more fun than watching his cousin's jokes, he especially liked Qi Yuan's change of face.
Qi Yuan looked at Fu Xiuyuan with a gloomy face, and his tone was a little cold: "It seems that you are very idle, are you short of things to do!" ”
Hearing Qi Yuan's words, Fu Xiuyuan immediately stopped laughing, and then sat upright, shaking his head like a rattle.
"I asked you and Rencheng to investigate King Shen together, what about the results of your investigation." Qi Yuan asked coldly.
Fu Xiuyuan straightened his face, and then replied: "King Shen's team is now thirty miles away from the field, and it will soon reach the imperial city, he only has a team of two hundred people with him, and King Shen has been riding in a carriage because of the wind and cold today, so the speed is much slower than usual." ”
"Wind chill?" Qi Yuan frowned, "Are you sure King Shen is in the carriage?" ”
Fu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment.
King Shen's mind is by no means simple, Qi Yuan feels that King Shen seems to be a little tired of coming over so late, but it can't be anything if he only brings 200 people to the imperial city.
"Send someone to watch day and night." Qi Yuan said.
Fu Xiuyuan nodded hurriedly.
"By the way, Rencheng seems to be busy lately, what is he busy with." Qi Yuan asked, Zuo Rencheng left after a while, and it was a little too late for him to call him.
"Oh, this," Fu Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows, "of course there's something important." ”
Qi Yuan was puzzled.
Then Fu Xiuyuan opened his mouth and said, Zuo Rencheng has been busy renovating his mansion recently, so naturally he has no time to take care of anything else. (To be continued.) )
