Xia Cicada came out with a pot of hot soup, and the soup pot seemed to be still steaming. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Seeing this, Jade Yu stepped forward to stop her and asked coldly, "Why are you going?" ”

Xia Chan said: "Before Niang Niang went out, I ordered the slave maid to send the soup to the Qinzheng Palace to the emperor." ”

Yu Yu didn't believe it, if Niangniang wanted to send soup to the emperor, why didn't she go in person. What's more, Xia Chan wanted to seduce the second prince yesterday, who knows if she will seduce the emperor in the name of the concubine today.

She took another look at Xia Cicada's dress, although it was not as good as yesterday's flowers, but it was more carefully dressed, and she wore a bunch of orchids on her wrist, and the fragrance of orchids seemed to be coming slowly.

She opened the lid again and looked at it, and it was stewed with Ganoderma lucidum chicken soup.

Jade closed the lid again and looked at Xia Cicada with great suspicion, with a cold face on her face.

Xia Chan looked at her and said, "If Sister Yuyun doesn't believe it, wait for Niangniang to come back and ask Niangniang." Now I'm going to send the soup to the Qinzheng Palace, if I delay the things that my mother explained, you and I can't afford it. After speaking, he took the soup and crossed her to leave.

Looking at her determined look, Jade was also a little uncertain, and she called out to her: "Wait." ”

Xia Chan looked back at her, looking a little impatient.

Jade took the soup from her hand and said to her coldly, "I'll deliver the soup." ”

Regardless of whether what she said was true or not, whether she really sent soup to her mother, or whether she wanted to seduce the emperor, she had to guard against her mother.

Xia Chan was puzzled: "This is not big, right?" ”

Jade glanced at her coldly, and then left with the soup.

After she left, Xia Cicada picked off the orchid string in her hand and threw it into the flowers, and then showed a smug smile.

When Wu Guifei came back, Xia Chan leaned against the door. As soon as she entered the door, Xia Chan immediately followed in to serve.

The concubine glanced back at her and asked strangely, "What about the jade?" ”

Usually at this time, the people who do these things are jade.

Xia Chan let out an "oh", and said in a normal tone: "Back to Niangniang, Yu Yu went to the Qinzheng Palace to send soup to the emperor, saying that she was ordered by Niangniang." ”

The concubine's eyes narrowed, she didn't let any palace people send soup to the emperor, even if she wanted to send it, she would do it herself, unless she wanted to recommend a woman to the emperor.

She didn't say anything.

When Yu Yu hurriedly returned from the Qinzheng Palace, the concubine was sitting on the couch drinking tea.

The concubine raised her eyes and glanced at her, and asked with some coldness: "The soup was delivered to the emperor?" ”

Jade only felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say why.

She said: "Yes, the emperor likes Niangniang's soup very much." ”

In fact, it was the queen mother who was also in the Qinzheng Palace, and it was the queen mother who smiled and said, "This pot of soup sent by the concubine looks good," and then the emperor said: "If you want to drink it, just stream it." ”

But she didn't dare to say these words to the concubine, for fear that the concubine would be sad because of it.

Wu Guifei put the tea bowl in her hand on the table with a "touch", her face became a little dark, and her expression became even colder.

Yu Yu handed over the tray in his hand to the other palace people, called "Niangniang", and planned to step forward to serve.

The concubine said coldly this time: "You go down, Xia Chan will serve the palace in the palace today." ”

Yu Yu was almost shocked, and raised her eyes to look at Xia Cicada behind the concubine, while she lowered her head and looked like she was bowing her eyebrows.

Jade paused for a moment before saying, "Yes." Then he bent his knees down.

After she went out, she grabbed a palace lady and asked, "What did Xia Chan say to Niangniang when I was away?" ”

Gong E said: "I only heard Niangniang ask Xia Chan where did you go, Sister Yuyi, Xia Chan replied that you went to the Qinzheng Palace to bring soup to the emperor, and the other Xia Chan didn't say anything." ”

Jade was silent for a moment, let go of her, and said, "I know, you go down." ”

Xiao Gong'e was about to leave, but Yu Yu suddenly stopped her again and said, "Wait." ”

She walked over and whispered to Xiao Gong'e: "Help me keep an eye on Xia Cicada more in the future, no matter what she says or does, tell me every move." As he spoke, he pulled out a jade bracelet from his hand and handed it to her.

The jade bracelet was originally given to the jade by the concubine, and the quality was excellent, the little maid's eyes lit up when she saw it, and she said happily: "I know, Sister Yu, I will definitely keep an eye on Xia Cicada in the future." As he spoke, he took the jade bracelet in his hand and hid it.

After Xiao Gong'e walked away, Yu Yu glanced back at the inner hall again, and read it again with hatred in her heart, Xia Chan.

Don't let her find out what the hell she's up to.

In the Diligent Palace.

Lin Yan sat on a chair, holding a bowl of soup in her hand, scooped a mouthful and put it in her mouth.

The chicken soup made from the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum also contains other medicinal materials such as angelica, the soup is rich and fragrant, and it is naturally very delicious.

While drinking the soup, she raised her eyes to look at the emperor who was immersed in government affairs, and said with a smile: "Do you want the emperor to drink a bowl too, the concubine has a good hand in making this pot of soup." ”

The emperor did not raise his head, the movement of his hand did not stop, and said, "No need, you can use it yourself." ”

She walked over with the soup bowl and took a sip of the soup from her bowl and handed it to his mouth.

The Emperor said, "Be careful to drip the soup stains onto my folds. ”

Lin Yan moved the spoon again and motioned for him to open his mouth.

The emperor had no choice but to drink the soup in one gulp.

Lin Yan smiled and asked, "How is it?" Drink it. ”

The emperor nodded, but said a little perfunctorily: "Well, it's delicious, you drink more yourself, Ganoderma lucidum is good for you women." After speaking, he buried his head in dealing with government affairs.

Lin Yan continued to feed the emperor the soup until she watched the emperor drink half a bowl of soup before walking back again.

Lin Yan said: "The emperor should not be busy all the time, anyway, things are not finished, and you should take a proper rest." ”

After speaking, he handed the soup bowl to Mu Zhi.

Mu Zhi asked her if she wanted another bowl of soup, Lin Yan shook her head, and Mu Zhi took a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.

The emperor said: "There are too many government affairs that need a headache in the court. ”

Lin Yan said: "Doesn't the emperor have a cabinet? There are other ministers. The emperor raised them and let them take the court's money every year, which was originally to help the emperor share his worries. ”

There are so many think tanks, why don't you use them, you can relax others, but you are tired to death.

The emperor said, "I can't rely on them all. Ministers also have selfish intentions, and they will also deceive their superiors and subordinates. I want them to be my eyes, my hands, but I can't fully trust these eyes and these hands. ”

Lin Yan agrees with this, just like she manages the harem.

The minions of the harem will also have selfishness, and if they have selfishness, they are easy to deceive and conceal their superiors and subordinates, and when the interests are big enough, even she, the queen, dare to move. So she doesn't have to do everything herself, but she has to know it.

She sometimes feels annoyed when she is in charge of a harem, and the emperor is in charge of a country, so she must feel tired no matter how idle she is, especially if the emperor is still determined to be a Ming Jun. (To be continued.) )
