Chapter 70: Come Back to Serve

After Wen Zhiyu left, Xiang'er saw that Concubine Xian immediately went to deal with the affairs of the harem, thought about it, and said one more word: "Concubine Xian, the slave maid just saw that the second prince wanted to stay with you for lunch." ”

Concubine Xian didn't raise her head: "What about staying for lunch?" The palace doesn't need him to make me happy in such a trivial matter, the most important thing is that he can make the emperor happy. And the affairs of the palace are so complicated now, where can I still have time to have lunch with him? ”

Xiang'er doesn't know what to say, among the princes, except for the crown prince, the queen has always cared for the eldest prince, and the concubine has not said anything about the fourth prince, that is, the virtuous concubine has always ignored the second prince.

In fact, the mother-son relationship between the second prince and the virtuous concubine is very shallow, every time the second prince deliberately approaches the virtuous concubine, he will be ruthlessly pushed away by the virtuous concubine, maybe he will get used to it in the long run, and he is used to only treating the virtuous concubine as a mother, not a mother.

Xiang'er doesn't know if Concubine Xian really can't see it, or if she can see it and doesn't care?

Such a thing happened at the Lantern Festival Night Banquet, which made the situation in the harem settle down again, and Su Xiran was sent back to the Su Mansion after his injuries were a little better, and the Su family naturally couldn't mention this matter anymore.

With the passage of time, everyone originally thought that Iris would be as short-lived as before, and being favored was only for a while, but I didn't expect Iris to become more and more favored, and Emperor Chu was very protective of Iris Dai, and many people were speculating that if it went on like this, I am afraid that Iris Dai's position would continue to be promoted.

The spring hunt in March is also coming, and the Chu Emperor is also a little anxious about the spring hunt these days, and Kite Dai often goes to accompany the Chu Emperor to talk and relieve boredom.

Iris Dai is very sensible, unless she is summoned, she never sets foot in a place like the imperial study, on this day Iris Dai was summoned to the imperial study, and the Chu Emperor had something to do, so he asked Li Sheng to take Iris Dai to the back hall to rest first.

When Emperor Chu came to look for Iris Dai, he saw Iris Dai talking to Li Sheng.

"Kite, what did you say to Li Sheng?" Emperor Chu asked.

Iris Dai smiled and replied, "It's nothing, just ask how the taste of this flowing heart cake has changed?" ”

"The taste has changed?" Emperor Chu was a little strange, "Li Sheng, what's going on?" ”

Li Sheng cried out in his heart, the flowing heart crisp was originally this taste, how could it change? Iris Dai's move was deliberately embarrassing him, but he didn't know when he offended Iris Dai.

"What kind of taste do Wancai people like, the old slave makes people prepare again." Li Sheng replied.

Kite Dai thought about it, but said to Emperor Chu: "Your Majesty, the concubine remembers that there was a faint cool taste when she ate the flowing heart crisp, and the concubine was greedy for coldness and liked it very much. ”

"How can this hearty crisp have a cool taste?" Emperor Chu glanced at Iris Dai, but he rarely smiled, he only thought that Iris Dai was joking.

Iris Dai said as if she didn't care: "The concubine doesn't know why, but I remember that the person who brought the liuxin cake to the concubine at that time was a little eunuch named Xiao Quanzi, why might it be better to ask, why is the liuxin crisp so special that time?" The concubine originally thought that the emperor's liuxin here was different, but she didn't expect it to be exactly the same as the one in the concubine's palace, and she was worried about it before the concubine. ”

Emperor Chu immediately instructed Li Sheng: "Li Sheng, you go and pass Xiao Quanzi over." ”

Li Sheng's face changed slightly, and Emperor Chu saw him hesitate and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten, this little Quanzi has committed a ......"

Before Li Sheng could finish speaking, Emperor Chu interrupted him: "Do you think my memory is not as good as yours?" ”

Li Sheng didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly went down and asked someone to summon Xiao Quanzi over.

Emperor Chu saw that Kite Dai was still looking at this plate of flowing heart cake, and was a little funny: "You are so worried about flowing heart cake?" ”

Yuan Dai lay on the table and looked at Emperor Chu: "The concubines love to eat something, and the emperor refuses to worry about the concubines?" ”

Chu Huang smiled and shook his head: "There is really no way to take you." ”

When Xiao Quanzi was brought by Li Sheng to see the emperor, he was still in a state of shock, he didn't expect the emperor to summon him so soon.

Li Sheng went to find Xiao Quanzi in person, and he looked at Xiao Quanzi who followed him, and couldn't help but remember what he said to Xiao Quanzi on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Li Sheng really didn't expect Xiao Quanzi to be able to turn over, and the reason why he turned over was just because of a stack of flowing hearts, is this a coincidence or a deliberate calculation?

When Li Sheng appeared in front of Emperor Chu and Yuan Dai with Xiao Quanzi, Emperor Chu asked directly: "You are Xiao Quanzi?" ”

Xiao Quanzi felt very ironic in his heart, he was Li Sheng's apprentice before, and everyone said that he would be able to take over Li Sheng's class in the future. But only Xiao Quanzi himself knows that this is all seen by others, in fact, Emperor Chu has never cared about himself.

He didn't expect that the first time Emperor Chu really noticed himself was in such a situation.

"Yes, the minion is Xiao Quanzi."

The Chu Emperor must remember the matter of Chinese New Year's Eve, he understands that this matter is not about Xiao Quanzi at all, but this matter always has to be blamed by someone, since Xiao Quanzi has been launched, it can only be his life is not good.

Emperor Chu felt that he was just a little eunuch, and if he died, he would die. But he remembered that when Xiao Quanzi was pushed out to confess, he didn't say a word of rebuttal.

"I remember that on Chinese New Year's Eve, you lost Dongzhu." Emperor Chu mentioned this matter when he came up, and Yuan Dai was also surprised: "I didn't expect it to be you." ”

Xiao Quanzi knelt down and replied: "The slave lost Dongzhu that day, but fortunately, Dongzhu was found later, and it was the emperor's kindness and kindness that the slave was able to save this life." ”

Emperor Chu was very satisfied with Xiao Quanzi's knowledge: "Wan Cairen said that you served her a plate of liuxin crisp last year, which suited her appetite very much, so he said that the liuxin crisp you brought was very special, is it true?" ”

"There's nothing special, it's just that during that time, I heard the emperor mention that Wan Cairen, who was still Wan Baolin, had a bad appetite, and the slave wrote it down at the time, and then thought that adding some cool things could make people have some appetite, but I didn't expect that Wan Cairen would remember it by mistake."

Xiao Quanzi's tone was not hurried, as if she was just narrating a very ordinary thing.

Emperor Chu was interested instead: "Can you remember this kind of trivial matter?" ”

Xiao Quanzi smiled bitterly in his heart, as long as it was about Iris Dai, it was not a trivial matter for him.

"Back to the emperor, as a slave, you naturally have to pay more attention to your master's words and deeds, and the people you care about your master will naturally have to pay more attention to being a slave." Xiao Quanzi replied.

Kite Dai laughed out loud at the right time, and Emperor Chu asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"The concubine is happy, I didn't expect the emperor to care so much about the concubine at that time, and he even noticed the concubine's bad appetite."

Emperor Chu listened to Kite's words, and became more and more satisfied with Xiao Quanzi in his heart: "This Xiao Quanzi is indeed very careful, so continue to stay here and serve." ”

Hearing this, Li Sheng felt a sigh in his heart, the emperor actually left Xiao Quanzi directly!

Xiao Quanzi thanks: "Thank you, minion, Emperor." ”

Kite Dai got up: "Your Majesty, the concubine will go back first." ”

"You're leaving?" Emperor Chu seemed to want to keep Kite, and Kita Dai smiled: "The concubine knows that the emperor is working hard to deal with political affairs, so she specially went back to stew some supplements for the emperor, and she is not at ease if the concubine personally looks at it." ”

Emperor Chu only cared about himself when he was a kite: "Xiao Quanzi, you will send Wancai for me." ”

Xiao Quanzi took the order and walked out with Kite.

Emperor Chu glanced at Li Sheng, who hung his head and didn't dare to speak. In the end, it was the person who had served him for so many years, and Emperor Chu still didn't say anything, only said: "Li Sheng, don't forget who is your master!" ”

After Emperor Chu said this, Li Sheng almost knelt down, Emperor Chu glanced at him, under such a gaze, Li Sheng still didn't dare to kneel: "The slave is only the emperor, you are the master, the slave has served you for so many years, don't you still understand the mind of the slave?" ”

"As the saying goes, a gentleman's heart is unpredictable, Li Sheng, do you really think so?" Emperor Chu left such a plausible sentence and left, leaving Li Sheng alone to stand in place. Li Sheng thinks that he has been with Emperor Chu for so many years, and Emperor Chu has trusted him very much, and when he looks at it today, Emperor Chu probably has never really trusted anyone.

Xiao Quanzi followed Iris Dai, and he suddenly spoke: "You still took this step." ”

"It's been a long time since you've spoken to me." Yuan Dai no longer looked like she was in front of Emperor Chu before, "Isn't this what you want to see, at least I can still have glory and wealth." ”

"Why do you want to save me?" Xiao Quanzi asked.

Yuan Dai stopped and turned to look at Xiao Quanzi: "Because you are no worse than Li Sheng, people like you just need a chance." ”

"Did you do so much just to give me a chance?"

Kite smiled wryly: "Otherwise? Can it still give us a chance? ”
