Xue Qing finished drinking the medicine, looked at the smiling Huang Ying on the side, and asked, "What is so happy?" ”

Huang Ying said with a smile: "That arrogant and domineering Lin Meiren was caught by the queen mother this morning and sent to the nunnery, do you say that it is very happy?" ”

Xue Qing put down the medicine bowl and wiped the corners of her mouth: "Don't say this kind of thing when you leave the Guan Ju Palace, so as not to cause trouble from your mouth." ”

Xue Qing was not as happy as Huang Ying, she didn't care about this kind of small role at all. What Qin Yixuan said was true, he said that he would let those people kneel down one by one to ask her for their guilt, and it seemed that they would not be clean again from tomorrow. Although it was through the queen's hand, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Concubine Li was injured, the emperor went to Chaoyang Palace, and Lin Meiren was sent to the nunnery.

Huang Ying sighed: "Niangniang, you are arrogant and domineering outside, only those of us who serve know that Niangniang is the true temperament." Only you will not look down on us as slaves, treat us as human beings, and sympathize with us everywhere. ”

"Everyone is raised by their fathers and mothers, who is not the heart of their parents. Because you have a bad background, you have to serve people, and it is already very hard, so why should I embarrass you? If I want to look down on them, I only look down on those who misbehave. ”

"That's your generosity, and it's a blessing for slaves and maids to be able to serve your mother."

Xue Qing smiled: "Look at your little mouth is sweet." I'm going to be lively here from tomorrow, and I can't see everything, you can help me stop a little, and save more to see each other. ”

"Yes, sis!"

Sure enough, on the second day, those concubines came one after another. The first one to arrive was Cui Xiurong, except for Lin Meiren that day, she was the happiest in jumping, after Lin Meiren's accident, she didn't sleep well all night, and came over early in the morning.

Huang Ying led it to the flower hall, sent tea and pastries, and said with a smile: "Contour Niangniang, the concubine is asleep, the slave will go and call Niangniang to get up." ”

"Hey, there's no need, the palace is waiting here, how dare you disturb the concubine's rest?"

"Then Niangniang, you have a moment, the slave and maid will retire first, and you will call the slave and maid if you have something."

"Niangniang, this concubine is too ......"

"Shut up!" The personal maid Chunya's dissatisfaction was interrupted by Cui Xiurong, "Didn't you see Lin Meiren's fate, don't forget what we're here for!" ”

"The slave is too talkative, please punish the mother!"

"That's it! Wait, since she wants to put a horse on the palace to vent her anger, the palace will let her out of this breath. ”

The second one came was Chen Zhaorong, and then Liu Chongyuan, when it was close to noon, except for the queen and Lin Meiren who had been sent to the nunnery, all the concubines had already arrived.

When she saw anyone, Huang Ying said: "The concubine is asleep!" "She didn't lie, Niangniang was indeed asleep, even the emperor didn't dare to disturb Niangniang's sleep, not to mention these people, not to mention that the emperor was originally going to give Niangniang authority.

When there are few people, they can still talk a little bit, but when there are many people, they don't dare to talk nonsense, for fear that they will accidentally become a stepping stone for others. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, extremely embarrassed.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, and it was already time for the concubine to get up, Huang Ying went to call Xue Qing.

After listening to Huang Ying's advice, Xue Qing sneered: "They are more diligent than I thought. Filing a banquet, since it is already noon, the palace can't be so stingy, let them see what it means to be favored. ”

"Yes, sissy! Slave and maid, let's arrange it! ”

When those concubines were waiting anxiously, Zhou Neiguan came to the flower hall, shook the dust, and said with a smile on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, love will move with the slaves!" ”

They followed the Zhou Neiguan to a hall at the edge of the garden, which was specially used for banquets, and could be seen in different seasons. At this time, the light gauze curtains and bamboo curtains on both sides of the hall have been opened, and you can see the view of the garden.

More than a dozen palace people were busy, and after a while, the table and cushions had been set up.

Zhou Neiguan said with a smile: "The concubine Niangniang invited all the ladies to the banquet, and invited the ladies to the table!" ”

They didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd of the concubine Niangniang, but they didn't dare to disobey it, and they took their seats one by one according to their position. As soon as they sat down, the palace ladies lined up and brought snacks.

A few people suddenly understood that the concubine was demonstrating to them. The concubine could not be unpredictable, knowing that they would come at the same time on this morning, so the banquet was decided on an impromptu basis, but it was still in order.

In such a short period of time, even if there is a small kitchen, it is too late to prepare, she is directly requisitioning the imperial dining room, she is to let them know, what is called the harem of the favored crown, what is called lawlessness, let them know the difficulties and retreat, don't be clever and use some means.

After serving six dishes, Xue Qing appeared at the door, and everyone stood up and saluted: "Concubine see Concubine Li!" ”

"No courtesy." Xue Qing said lightly, and sat down directly on the main seat, "It's hard for you sisters to come to visit the palace, but the palace is in poor health, and the imperial doctor asked the palace to recuperate." Let the sisters wait for a long time, the palace is really sorry not to go, so prepare a thin banquet, and hope that the sisters will not dislike coarse tea and light rice. ”

"It is a blessing for the concubines to be able to have lunch with the mother, it is too late to be grateful, where do you dare to dislike it."

"Then you're welcome, move the chopsticks." Xue Qing said, picking up her wine glass, "This palace is not good at drinking, this is the juice prepared by a few of their girls, the taste is good, sisters can try it." ”

"Xie Niangniang!"

Then, Xue Qing ate the food in front of her, and when the concubines saw this, they also ate it carefully. There are not many dishes, only six, but they are very delicate and have excellent taste, and there are two of them that they have not eaten in the palace.

Xue Qing didn't say much halfway, and because of the large number of people, those who wanted to ask for guilt in private, or give gifts, or curry favor didn't speak. Some clever people began to flatter, some admired the beauty of the concubine, some admired the beauty of Guan Ju Palace, and some admired the endless taste of the delicacies.

"I said that I didn't want to eat a lotus crisp, it turned out that you robbed it!" doll

The concubines were so shocked that they dropped their chopsticks, why did the emperor come without a sound, how long had they not seen the emperor. In fact, it wasn't long ago, even on the day of the Imperial Garden, but on that day, everyone wanted to hide themselves, how dare they take a second look.

They hurriedly got up and saluted: "The concubines see the emperor!" Only the concubine was still sitting in her seat, eating by herself.

Qin Yixuan didn't stop, and went all the way to Xue Qing to sit down, and then called: "No courtesy, sit down." ”

"Emperor Xie!"

Xue Qing picked up the lotus cake in the saucer, fed it to his mouth, and said with a smile: "I can't eat it in the imperial study, can't I eat it when I come to Guan Ju Palace?" ”

"You, you're so daring, you dare to grab the snacks you have prepared for me!" It seemed to be a reproachful word, but there was no half-reproachful tone, not only that, Qin Yixuan also happily took a bite of the lotus cake she sent.

"Why are you just these few dishes, and you're not afraid that they will go back and say that you are shabby?"

"Meals are not expensive, and if you can't eat so much, it's just a waste. The concubine doesn't care what others think of the concubine, the concubine only knows to do what she thinks is right. ”

"Everything you say makes sense. But are you getting better, why do you still run out to blow the wind, and you don't add a cloak, aren't you afraid of getting worse? ”

"The younger sisters came to visit the concubines, and the concubines didn't get up until near noon, so they didn't want to go, so they left them to have lunch together."

"I see, then I'll go back and rest after eating." After speaking, Qin Yixuan turned to the concubine who was sitting down, and said coldly, "If there is nothing important in the future, don't disturb the concubine's rest." The queen is also in charge of the affairs in the palace, and the concubine is an idler. ”

said so, but who would dare to treat her as an idler, if she hadn't been wrong at the beginning, they wouldn't have dared to insult the concubine with the support of the queen, so they offended the emperor. It's not that the emperor is unwilling to give the concubine rights, but he is afraid that the concubine will be tired and upset, so he is only willing to hold her in the palm of his hand and pet her.

Originally, I wanted to see the emperor today, and I had a trace of expectation in my heart, but seeing the pomp of the concubine today and the attitude of the emperor, they already understood that unless the concubine fell out of favor, they had no chance. They should not use the previous means to deal with the concubine, in the eyes of the emperor, the concubine is right to do anything.

From the beginning to the end, the concubine did not give them a chance to say words of pleading, not that the concubine forgave them, nor that the concubine wanted to take revenge, she was telling them that she did not take them seriously at all, because they could not pose any threat to her. As long as they keep to themselves and don't offend her, everyone will be fine.

Cui Xiurong got up and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, the concubine heard that the concubine Niangniang was sick, so she brought two hundred-year-old ginseng to visit, and she didn't want to disturb the Niangniang's recuperation, which is really the concubine's sin." ”

Chunya saw the opportunity, stepped forward and knelt in the center of the hall, and opened the brocade box she brought.

Xue Qing smiled: "Let my sister break the bill." Then he nodded to Huang Ying, who understood and stepped forward to take the brocade box.

"Since the mother is safe, the concubine will no longer bother, and the concubine will retire!"

"Sister go slowly!"

"The concubine has a piece of cold jade ......"

"The special blood swallow ...... sent by the concubine's hometown"

Thus, the luncheon became a treasure offering.

When everyone left, Qin Yixuan hugged Xue Qing: "Satisfied?" ”

Xue Qing smiled: "There are good things to collect, of course I am satisfied." ”

"How dare you use what they sent?"

"Why not? Whoever dares to do anything at this time is stupid. Besides, if someone wants to add some ingredients to it, can I still not see it? ”

"You!"

Xue Qing smiled and picked up a cordyceps: "There are a lot of good things in it, I'll sort it out and send it to the master, his old man will definitely like it." ”

Qin Yixuan stared at her maliciously: "Looking at you like this, your body is almost better, right?" ”

Xue Qing glanced at him: "Who said, I'm still sick, the heat hasn't completely subsided, I have to go back to rest." ”

"Since you asked someone to open the curtains, it is not a big problem to blow the wind."

"The wound on my leg isn't healed yet!"

"I won't touch your legs."

"Qin Yixuan, you dare!" Xue Qing glared at him angrily.

Qin Yixuan looked at her helplessly, he really didn't dare, if he really hurt her if he didn't make up his mind, it would be worth the loss.

"I just gave you enough face, you can at least accompany me to finish the meal!"

Xue Qing bent her eyes: "This is okay." ”
