Chapter 61: King's Landing at the Palace of Dexi

"It smells of both the fragrance of cinnamon and the sweetness of chrysanthemums, and it tastes very special, refreshing and not greasy, but it looks like it is made of fruit. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Emperor Xuan picked up the white porcelain bowl that was turned upside down, and played with it meaningfully in his hand: "Which palace sent it, it took a little thought." ”

Seeing Emperor Xuan ask about this stubble, Wang Huaide was a little uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "It only took a little thought, and I deliberately sent it over, and told the old slave not to tell Your Majesty, for fear that Your Majesty would be angry if she knew that she sent it." Alas, this thought is more valuable than this bowl of soup. ”

Emperor Xuan scolded with a smile: "You know, so you joined forces to deceive me? Tell me quickly, which palace sent her, I want to reward her! ”

Wang Huaide smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, isn't this an embarrassment for the old slave?" Alas, who made His Majesty the master of the old slave? It was sent by the one from the Dexi Palace. ”

"Dejo Palace?" Emperor Xuan sighed, tilted his head sideways and said, "Like a concubine? I haven't been to her palace for a while, so I wonder if she's better? ”

Wang Huaide said in a timely manner: "Why don't you accompany Your Majesty to Dexi Palace?" ”

Emperor Xuan threw down his pen and stood up: "Let's go, go and see my dragon heir." ”

In the Dexi Palace, Ru Concubine was lying on the bed, looking at herself in the mirror left and right, and said to Su Yichen worriedly: "Chen'er, will the emperor really come?" I'd better put on makeup. ”

Su Yichen took away the bronze mirror in her hand and said: "Niangniang, just listen to the people's daughter, don't let him feel that Niangniang is too deliberate when the emperor comes, and don't remember to mention the matter of my brother and the Shen family in front of the emperor." ”

"What about you? Will you stay with me? Ru Concubine asked.

Su Yichen thought for a moment and replied: "The people's daughter will meet the emperor, because the people's daughter wants to fight for something for the mother, and I hope the mother's mother can trust the people's daughter!" ”

"The emperor has arrived!" A long and sharp voice sounded outside the hall, which was the voice of Wang Huaide, the most favored eunuch beside Emperor Xuan. Su Yichen and Ru Concubine exchanged a look, the latter immediately gathered the black hair in his ears, and then lifted the quilt, Su Yichen stepped forward to support her, and carefully got out of bed and prepared to go outside the palace to meet the emperor.

The door of the hall was opened with a creak, and Emperor Xuan's bright yellow figure illuminated the sky of Dexi Palace, and he strode into the hall, just in time to see Su Yichen struggling to get up from the bed with Ru Concubine. Ru Concubine's body seems to be a little lighter than before, her face is not powdered, and her long black and satin hair is casually draped over her shoulders, which makes her skin even more white as paper, and she looks very tired when she looks stupid.

Emperor Xuan was so distressed that he shouted loudly to the two of them: "Don't move, concubine." ”

The two were so panicked that they didn't know what to do, Su Yichen hurriedly bowed his head and knelt down to see the emperor, such as a concubine also wanted to kneel, Emperor Xuan grabbed her, grabbed her hand, personally helped her back to the bed and lay down, and carefully helped her tuck the quilt. Su Yichen and Wang Huaide behind him looked at each other and smiled, quietly withdrew from the hall, and only guarded outside the door in case the master was summoned at any time.

Ru Concubine smiled happily and contentedly, but a crystal tear quietly slipped from the corner of her eye, which happened to fall in Emperor Xuan's eyes. Emperor Xuan stroked her soft and said lovingly: "It's already hard for my concubine to carry my flesh and bones, why bother to make that bowl of soup for me with your own hands?" ”

Ru Concubine tears fell from her eyes again, and said coquettishly: "The concubine is not tired, the emperor is busy with government affairs, and the concubine is not sensible to make you angry, it is the concubine's fault." What the concubine can do for the emperor is just a bowl of soup, as long as the emperor likes it, the concubine does it every day, and she is willing. ”

Emperor Xuan laughed, scratched her nose and rebuked affectionately: "Hey, the concubine is willing, but I am unwilling, and my emperor is even more unwilling, otherwise he will have to accuse me in the future, my mother and concubine are working hard, how can my father let her make a bowl of soup for you!" ”

Emperor Xuan learned the child's expression, imitated the sound and color, made a concubine smile, leaned on his arms and asked: "How does the emperor know that the concubine's belly is pregnant with the emperor's child?" What if it's a daughter? The concubine wants to give birth to a son to the emperor, but the concubine herself likes her daughter. ”

"Then give birth to two, the eldest is the prince, and the younger one is the princess, okay?" Emperor Xuan caressed her delicate pink lips, indescribably tender and sweet. This situation and this scene, like a pair of ordinary husbands and his pregnant wife, looking forward to the appearance of their future children, such as the concubine felt warm, and the whole person seemed to be melted, isn't this the happiness she once longed for? She once thought that she would not have it anymore, but it had quietly occupied her heart.

Gonggong De asked for instructions on the arrangements for dinner outside the door, and Emperor Xuan was willing to leave at this time, so he naturally stayed in Dexi Palace for dinner. Su Yichen smiled lightly, and Father-in-law De immediately understood and said to her: "Then Miss Lao Er will go and prepare." ”

In fact, the small kitchen has already been prepared, just waiting for the emperor Chrysostom to open, all the ingredients are brushed and cooked, and in less than half an hour, a table of imperial food was brought up. Emperor Xuan took Ru Concubine to sit down, casually glanced at the dishes on the table, and his attention was immediately attracted. He eats on weekdays, no matter which palace he goes to, it is not a table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, all kinds of rare and exquisite, and the same is true of the usual Dexi Palace. But it's strange today, it's actually an ordinary looking ordinary dish, and most of them are green vegetables and fruits. Fortunately, there was a precedent of a bowl of soup in the afternoon, which made him understand the truth that food should not be disfigured, and he still started the dishes and chopsticks with great interest.

Father-in-law De can almost conclude that this is probably the most durable meal the emperor has ever eaten, with nine dishes and one soup, and a bowl of soup after the meal. Emperor Xuan took the Jinpa handed over by Ru Concubine and wiped his mouth, threw it on the table, and said with satisfaction: "Isn't there a new cook in the Concubine Palace?" This craftsmanship is good, for the first time, I feel that the fruits and vegetables are so delicious, especially the last bowl of soup, well, it is very suitable for me! ”

Ru Concubine covered her mouth and smiled: "What is the new cook, it is the concubine who has a bad appetite since she was pregnant, and she is uncomfortable when she smells the smell of meat, so my sister thought of this method, and the concubine thought it was good, so she thought about letting the emperor taste it too." ”

Emperor Xuan suddenly realized, and looked behind her: "Yes, Concubine Ai said last time that she would summon her sister into the palace to take care of her for a while, and I forgot about it when I was busy, what about her?" I want to reward her. ”

Su Yichen was summoned to enter the hall, kneeling on the ground with his head down, dressed in a lake blue show dress, with only two small beaded flowers pinned to his head, and his outfit was extremely elegant. Emperor Xuan asked Ru Concubine, "This is your sister?" When I first entered your temple, she seemed to be there, but I didn't notice it. ”

Ru Concubine said with a smile: "Not long after my sister entered the palace, she was very shy when she saw Long Yan for the first time, and it was normal for the emperor not to notice her. ”
