Chapter 171: Staying overnight
However, with the excuse of preparing dinner for the emperor, she could finally go back, and after saying goodbye to Zhao Luzhu, Tang Jingchen left Changchun Palace.
She had a sad face all the way, the emperor wanted to come to dinner, but it was nothing, anyway, she never thought about eating, it was nothing more than what to eat, she had a headache The emperor didn't know when she would leave, and she couldn't go out tonight.
When she returned to Tingyuxuan, she heard that the female eunuchs of Yuxuan Palace had all received the news, and Yilin looked happy, "Sister is finally back, I have drawn up a menu for you to see if it can be successful, if there is any lack of materials, send Zhu Diquan to the imperial dining room to ask for it." ”
Tang Jingchen couldn't help but sigh, "There's no need to be so grand, we just have to do what we have." ”
Yi Lin said: "That's not good, since the queen arranged a small kitchen for us to listen to Yuxuan, she has never started a fire, and now it will be opened." ”
Because the imperial doctor diagnosed that Tang Jingchen could no longer have children, coupled with her deliberate humility, Duolun couldn't help but be kind, and ordered someone to arrange a small kitchen in Tingyuxuan, saying that it was usually to cook a tonic soup and boil some tonic medicine.
Tang Jingchen thanked Duolun for his kindness, but he never used it, and his daily diet was still sent to the imperial dining room.
But today, the emperor named him to eat the dishes cooked in the kitchen, and Tang Jingchen couldn't understand what he was thinking. first rewarded Zhao Luzhu with so many things, and then came to eat here, what did he want to do?
When the sun was about to set, a eunuch from outside reported, "The emperor has arrived, and the queen has arrived!" ”
Tang Jingchen was stunned, and hurriedly went out to kneel to greet her, now the emperor doesn't want anyone to report when he comes and goes, so she almost ignored this etiquette, and thought while saluting, how could Duolun come with her, and now the emperor's behavior is becoming more and more confusing.
Duolun smiled, and actually helped Tang Jingchen up with his own hands, "I heard that your small kitchen has never been used, so this palace specially suggested that the emperor come over for dinner, so that you can warm the pot, and you will use it in the future." ”
Tang Jingchen was speechless, always feeling that Duolun was either a traitor or a thief, but said on his face: "Yes, thank you for the queen's compassion." ”
She was almost crazy, Duolun was pregnant, and if she had to say that she had eaten a bad stomach at her place, she would not be able to tell with her mouth open, and she felt that Duolun would probably hit this idea.
The emperor did not mince words to Duolun, "The queen has proposed it before, but now I am a temporary idea. ”
He smiled gently, "What delicious food have you prepared?" ”
"Uh......" Tang Jingchen didn't know what to say, she wasn't prepared at all, mainly because she didn't know that Duolun would come, listening to the emperor's tone, it seemed that Duolun was coming with a dead face.
Fortunately, Yilin reacted quickly, in addition to the few dishes prepared before, she asked Okra to go to the big kitchen to ask for some, and finally made up enough money.
Zhu Diquan knew the grievances between Tang Jingchen and Duolun the most, and said to her after a while: "Niangniang, the slave is worried that the queen's mother is not good, you should take precautions in advance." ”
Tang Jingchen sighed, "It's all here, how else can I prevent it, fortunately, the emperor is also here, everyone eats the same dish, she can't slander me for poisoning." ”
Thinking about it, today Yingge entered the palace, that person's brain is flexible and more knowledgeable than Duolun, maybe he will persuade her to say nothing, Tang Jingchen doesn't know, she really guessed right, Yingge told Duolun that Tang Jingchen can't give birth anyway, it's better to use her as bait to make her exclusive favor to the emperor, a concubine without a son has no future.
Duolun thinks so.
The dishes were quickly arranged, the emperor sat down, the queen sat with him, and Tang Jingchen accompanied her, although it was her palace, it made her look like a guest.
Duolun's mind was not on eating at all, not only did he not see that many dishes came from the imperial dining room, but he also praised them perfunctorily, "Concubine Jing's small kitchen here is really good, the dishes are full of color and fragrance, the emperor has been busy with government affairs recently, he can't eat well and sleep well, it is better to come to Concubine Jing to eat here in the future, and the palace is more at ease." ”
The emperor saw that at least half of the dishes were served from the imperial dining room, so he couldn't help but take a deep look at Tang Jingchen, but he didn't debunk it.
The three of them had their own thoughts, and they couldn't help but lose their taste, and finally boiled up until they finished eating, Tang Jingchen couldn't wait to say: "The queen mother needs to rest a lot when she is pregnant with a dragon fetus, your majesty, you can accompany the queen mother back." ”
"No, I'll just go back by myself." Duolun smiled deeply and said to the emperor: "Concubine Jing has always been understanding and takes care of you, so why don't you stay here." ”
The emperor was stunned, he also felt that there was something wrong with Duolun, but he never took her seriously, although Duolun was the queen mother's niece, and she was also raised by the queen mother, but that scheming method was not comparable to the queen mother at all.
The Queen Mother didn't even teach it hand-in-hand, so the emperor didn't care.
Moreover, he also has the heart to stay with Tang Jingchen, even if she can't sleep, he is willing to stay by her side, which is easier than being by any woman's side.
"In this case, I thank the queen for her kindness, and the queen will slow down on the road." The emperor instructed his subordinates to serve Duolun well, and sent her to Tingyuxuan's door with Tang Jingchen, and then returned hand in hand.
Tang Jingchen secretly complained in his heart, can't he get out again today? But the emperor also asked her, "Do you think it's okay for me to stay with you?" ”
It's terrible, Tang Jingchen said in his heart, but he smiled on his face, "This is the blessing of the concubine, and it is also the grace of the queen." ”
The emperor rarely stays in the palace concubine's room, who he wants to sleep, he turns over the sign and asks the palace concubine to take the Fengluan Chunen car to the Qianqing Palace, and only the fifteenth day of the new year will stay in the queen's bedroom, so Tang Jingchen will say so.
The emperor's smile deepened, "Just remember her grace, and there will be no mine?" ”
Tang Jingchen only thought about how to go out, lest the time drag on for too long, Chunlan's matter became more and more impossible to investigate, so he had to say perfunctorily: "The concubine is naturally grateful to the emperor in her heart, but the concubine and the emperor have different feelings, so I don't think there is any need to say it." ”
The emperor laughed, his heart was extremely happy, Tang Jingchen used the excuse of making a bowl of diet tea for the emperor to drink, went out to find Yilin and said in a low voice: "Can you prepare a pair of medicines that can make people sleep all night without causing other harm?" ”
Yi Lin was taken aback, "For the emperor?" ”
"There's no way around it, but luckily no one will come when he's sleeping with me, and it's safer than if I sneaked out quietly." Tang Jingchen pleaded with Yi Lin, "Good sister, you help me, this matter is very important to me." ”
