Chapter 334: Concubine He
Xiao Jinghuan was excited, he was finally able to completely gain Su Xiaoya's trust, and when he hurriedly asked, "So are we friends now?" ”
Su Xiaoya was stunned for a moment and nodded blankly.
After several days of banditry, on this day, the emperor of Northern Xinjiang suddenly invited Su Xiaoya into the palace for some reason, saying that he wanted Su Xiaoya to cook a meal for himself and the queen.
Su Xiaoya was a little dazed, and she didn't know why the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang suddenly let herself enter the palace: "Isn't the cooking in the palace delicious?" Why did the emperor suddenly remember that he wanted me to go into the palace to cook. ”
Although the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang said that he liked the food cooked by Su Xiaoya, because he was afraid of the relationship between the two people, the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang did not let Su Xiaoya enter the palace very much, and wanted to avoid suspicion.
"It was the queen who suddenly said that she wanted to eat the food you cooked, and I just called you over by the way." The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang smiled, he now has a very good relationship with the empress, as long as the empress makes a suggestion, he will agree.
The queen on the side blushed and said, "The emperor is making fun of the concubines here again." Didn't the emperor say that Mrs. Su's cooking was delicious, and the concubine remembered it? Why did you become a concubine and want to eat again? ”
Su Xiaoya looked at the couple who suddenly showed affection, and suddenly felt a little sour.
Although Su Xiaoya made some things that the queen liked to eat according to the intention of the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang, the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang himself did not eat much.
"Speaking of which, I don't know how the prince is doing at the border now, you said that we eat and drink well here, what does the prince eat at the border." The Northern Xinjiang Emperor suddenly looked at Su Xiaoya with a smile in his eyes and quipped.
Su Xiaoya's face turned red, and she was suddenly a little overwhelmed: "Why did the emperor suddenly ask this?" Presumably, the prince ate very well when he was at the border, otherwise how could he have the strength to fight? Speaking of which, if the prince doesn't eat well at the border, I'm afraid this is also the emperor's problem, right? ”
The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang found that Su Xiaoya was now getting more and more bold in front of him, and now he even dared to contradict himself.
When the queen saw that the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang and Su Xiaoya were about to quarrel, she hurriedly stopped the two and said, "Okay, okay, Mrs. Su finally went into the palace to cook something to eat, so don't quarrel." ”
Saying that, the queen also said to Su Xiaoya: "I'm afraid Mrs. Su doesn't know yet, this talented person is about to be Concubine He." ”
Concubine He?! Su Xiaoya was a little surprised, when He Cairen was just pregnant, the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang said that he would canonize He Cairen and He Fei, but then this matter was over, why is it going to be canonized again?
"Didn't this talented person just have a miscarriage not long ago? It's ...... again so soon" Su Xiaoya wanted to speak and stopped, she thought that the reason why He Cairen was able to be canonized as Concubine He was because she was pregnant again.
The queen understood what Su Xiaoya meant, and hurriedly said, "No, no, no, that's not what it meant. It was because of Concubine De's matter, the emperor felt a little ashamed of He Cairen, and the imperial physician also said that He Cairen might be a little difficult to get pregnant in the future, so he said that he would be appointed as a concubine, and it should be regarded as compensation for He Cairen. ”
What's the use of this compensation?! Su Xiaoya snorted coldly in her heart, but when she thought of the appearance of He Cairen, she thought about it and felt that for He Cairen, being a concubine was more useful than having a child.
As she spoke, Su Xiaoya looked up at the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang, and saw that there was nothing unusual on the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang's face, so she asked, "Why did the emperor suddenly remember to appoint Concubine He?" Isn't this a long time since it ended? Now that it's suddenly proposed, do those ladies in the harem really have no other opinions? ”
The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang looked at Su Xiaoya with a frown, and he didn't want to mention this topic: "It's just a compensation." It just so happened that Concubine De was no longer there, so he should have asked He Cairen to fill Concubine De's position. ”
Su Xiaoya pursed her lips, the Northern Xinjiang Emperor said it easily, but although Concubine De and Concubine He are both concubines, these two grades are completely different. I don't know who the emperor of Northern Xinjiang is perfunctory.
Su Xiaoya had other things to do, and she didn't want to waste time in the palace all the time. What's more, the current emperor of Northern Xinjiang is simply a spoiled wife and crazy demon, and he is unwilling to part with the queen for a moment, let alone let Su Xiaoya and the queen talk together alone for a while.
So Su Xiaoya took the initiative to stand up and wanted to leave: "Then I'll go back first, the emperor and queen eat slowly, if there is anything else, you can let people come to the restaurant to find me again." ”
The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang smiled and nodded, and then asked the eunuch beside him to send Su Xiaoya away.
It's just that when she left, Su Xiaoya accidentally touched a pot of soup on the table, although she didn't burn herself, but she still wet her clothes.
When the queen saw this scene, she had to hurriedly ask someone to bring Su Xiaoya a new piece of clothing: "Hurry up and get new clothes for Mrs. Su to come over and change them, I'm afraid that the wet clothes will freeze if you can't walk a few steps." ”
Several palace maids hurriedly changed Su Xiaoya's clothes, for fear that Su Xiaoya would be frozen.
When Su Xiaoya left, a small figure flashed from the door of the Northern Xinjiang Emperor's study.
“…… What did you say?! That woman actually changed her clothes when she went out?! He Cairen asked with a frown.
After staying in the study of the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang for so long, and changing into a piece of clothing, even if He Cairen didn't want to think about it, he couldn't help it.
The palace maid nodded, and said indignantly: "It's not! The slave maid saw it with her own eyes, and when Su Xiaoya entered the palace, she was wearing clothes that were clearly worn by ordinary people outside. But when I left, I was wearing a palace costume just made by the Shangyi Bureau! ”
Shangyi Bureau just made it?! He Cairen was shocked, the clothes made by the Shangyi Bureau are generally qualified to be worn by those high-ranking concubines, and she can only wear some clothes made by other embroidered girls now, but after she becomes Concubine He, she can wear the clothes of the Shangyi Bureau.
But why is this Su Xiaoya able to wear the clothes of the Shangyi Bureau?!
He Cairen was furious, gritted his teeth and said, "Slut! actually seduced the emperor while her husband was not in the city! Let's see how I teach this slut a lesson! ”
Su Xiaoya didn't know this, but when she returned to the restaurant, the reward of the Northern Xinjiang Emperor had already been delivered.
"The emperor said that these things were sent because the shopkeeper's food was well cooked. Let the shopkeeper put it away. The eunuch said with a flattering smile on his face.
Su Xiaoya was a little dazed, she had cooked so many meals in the palace, and this was the first time that the emperor of Northern Xinjiang had rewarded herself.
Lin Wan'er was a little surprised and said, "Sister Xiaoya, you can get so many rewards when you enter the palace to cook once!" Then you can make a fortune after doing it a few more times! ”
Su Xiaoya couldn't laugh or cry, it was already rare for her to be able to enter the palace to cook a meal once, let alone be rewarded by the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang, she had cooked so many times of food, this was the first time she was rewarded by the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang.
"How can it be so easy, if this is the case every time, then won't the treasury of Northern Xinjiang be emptied for me?" Su Xiaoya said quipping to Lin Wan'er.
After thinking about it, she felt that what Su Xiaoya said seemed to make sense, so Lin Wan'er had no choice but to blush and say, "Then I also think that these rewards are too much, so I said so." But isn't it true that the dishes you made this time are so delicious that the emperor and the queen will reward you? ”
Su Xiaoya nodded and felt that it was a little right, if it weren't for these, then the emperor and empress of Northern Xinjiang would not have to reward themselves.
But what Su Xiaoya didn't know was that the news that she was rewarded by the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang suddenly spread in the palace, and everyone knew that Su Xiaoya had been in the study of the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang for a long time today, and then when she came out, she not only changed her clothes, but even received a reward from the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang.
“…… Emperor! Then how can that Su Xiaoya get your reward? The concubines heard that the emperor rewarded Su Xiaoya with a lot of good things! Concubines want a reward, too! He Cairen pouted and leaned beside the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang and said.
The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang was a little big, rubbed his eyebrows and said: "What Su Xiaoya Su Xiaoya, now she is also the general's wife, even after your concubine ceremony tomorrow, her rank is higher than yours!" Okay, if you have the energy, you might as well prepare for tomorrow's canonization. ”
He Cairen was unhappy in her heart, although she said that tomorrow would be her concubine ceremony, but when she thought of the unclear relationship between the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang and Su Xiaoya, she felt uncomfortable.
The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang didn't want to talk so much to He Cairen, he felt that since He Cairen had no children, his temperament was different from before, and he didn't even have the heart to say too much to He Cairen.
"Your Majesty! But tomorrow is the concubine's concubine ceremony, can't the emperor accompany the concubine? "He Cairen is unwilling, when it comes to Su Xiaoya, the emperor of Northern Xinjiang always looks unhappy like this, she doesn't believe that there is no relationship between these two people!
The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, I have other things, so I won't accompany you tonight." Tomorrow, I will naturally go to the Queen's Chuxiu Palace and wait for you. ”
After saying that, the emperor of Northern Xinjiang left.
He Cairen watched the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang leave like this, and his hatred was about to drip blood: "Su Xiaoya......"
"Mother, don't think about it now! Seeing that tomorrow is about to come out, this kind of juncture can't be thought of! The palace maid on the side looked at He Cairen anxiously, for fear that she would do something irrational.
He Cairen closed his eyes, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "I know, I won't make trouble in this situation." I'm not going to do anything stupid for this kind of person. ”
The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief, as long as He Cairen could figure it out herself, then she wouldn't have to worry about anything.
He Cairen suddenly sneered, beckoned the palace maid to his side and said, "Come here, this palace has something to tell you to do." If you don't do it well...... You know what the end is. ”
The palace maid was shocked in her heart, and looked at He Cairen in disbelief, as if she was hesitating whether to follow He Cairen's words to do this.
