Chapter 8 Horseshoe Cake
Everyone wants to know the emperor's preferences, except for the favored Lin Guifei, those concubines who want to do what they like seem to have hit a wall.
Now with Jiang Wan's help, Concubine Xi's mind is activated, anyway, Jiang Wan is in Luoyun Xuan, and she is not afraid that she will run away, so Concubine Xi will feel that she might as well give it a try, what if it can really work?
Who in this palace doesn't want to give birth to an heir for the emperor? It's just that Lu Zhixing, the emperor, is very obedient, and I haven't seen him as a good woman on weekdays, and his joy and anger are even more elusive, which makes Xi Concubine and others even more out of reach.
But now, with Jiang Wan's intelligence, perhaps, she can give it a go.
"Then I'll make some desserts first and send them to the emperor." Without further ado, Concubine Xi hurriedly rushed to the small kitchen and personally commanded people to do it.
Seeing that no one was looking for trouble again, Jiang Wan actually took a plate and packed up all the remaining dishes, like a starving ghost reincarnated, for fear that there would be no next meal.
finally returned to his residence, and Jiang Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ping'er hurriedly lit a fire to make tea, Jiang Wan drank a cup of hot tea, picked up a piece of snack that came back, and took a bite: "Ah, this snack is delicious." Let's try a piece too. ”
"Master. You can still eat. You're really big. ”
Ping'er muttered, a look of reluctance.
"What's wrong? This dim sum is so delicious, it's been a long time since we've eaten such a delicious dim sum, you can try it. ”
Jiang Wan enthusiastically picked up a piece of dim sum and stuffed it into Ping'er's mouth.
Ping'er reluctantly ate it, and muttered while eating: "That Xi Concubine really thinks she is a character, she didn't even deserve to lift shoes for her mother before." ”
"Alright." Jiang Wan took the dim sum and ate it slowly, "It is impossible for people to be smooth in this life, just get used to it." ”
Ping'er pursed her mouth, "But Niangniang, why do you want to tell her the emperor's preferences, even if Concubine Xi soars in the future, she will not be grateful to you." ”
Jiang Wan chuckled: "It turns out that you little girl is angry because of this." Oh, it's not necessary, the emperor is not mine alone, and it is a good thing that other women in the harem please him more, only if the emperor lives well, we can live a stable life. ”
Ping'er nodded: "That's right, it's just that there's no need to help Concubine Xi, she's not a good person." ”
Jiang Wan just smiled and didn't speak, where are there any good people in the palace? Anyway, she is also helping others, and helping Xi Concubine is also helping, so it is better to sell Xi Concubine a favor, at least in exchange for a better time during this time.
Lu Zhixing released her from the cold palace It was too weird, Jiang Wan had to guard against it, she didn't believe that there was such a thing as royal feelings, Jiang Wan just wanted to protect herself now, and then find a way to get out of this iron cage.
Concubine Xi is stupid and easy to manipulate, and there are some forces behind her, Jiang Wan can use her to protect herself.
It's just that Jiang Wan didn't expect that Lu Zhixing actually knew all about her small calculations and plans.
Jiang Wan's every move in Luoyun Xuan was reported to the emperor by the guards, and after hearing Jiang Wan's fraternity remarks, Lu Zhixing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "She really said that?" ”
"The subordinates dare not deceive the saint." The guard said truthfully.
"Hehe, that's kind of interesting."
Lu Zhixing raised his eyebrows, and an imperceptible emotion flashed in those phoenix eyes, but no one noticed it.
"Back to the emperor, Luoyunxuan's concubine Xi sent something." The eunuch came in to report.
"Oh, is it? So fast. Lu Zhixing's thin lips were slightly hooked, and he waved his hand, "Bring things in, Concubine Xi is also tired, let her go back first." ”
What Xi Concubine made was really a horseshoe cake, and the proportions and taste were exactly the tastes that Lu Zhixing was used to.
That is, the water chestnut cake that Jiang Wan often made for him before.
It seems that Jiang Wan has really made a lot of money. Even the recipe for the horseshoe cake was told to Concubine Xi.
Very good, Jiang Wan, very good.
"Give this a reward." Lu Zhixing only tasted a small piece, and he seemed to have lost interest.
"Yes." The chamberlain had long been accustomed to his moodiness, and did not dare to make any mistakes, so he hurriedly took the horseshoe cake away.
"The New Year's banquet is approaching, and the concubines of the palace must participate in it, and they must not be absent." Lu Zhixing commanded lightly.
"Yes."
Not all the concubines in the palace can participate in the banquet, especially after Lin Guifei takes power, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for everyone to appear in front of the emperor.
So when she got this opportunity, Concubine Xi was simply crazy with joy.
