"You don't have to be like this, things haven't gotten bad yet, and I don't blame you. The emperor has always had three wives and four concubines, and I knew that there would be such a day from the beginning of entering the palace. I've been a favorite concubine for so many years, and it's enough. ”

Seeing Shen Yan's nervous and lost appearance, Concubine Chen comforted her.

"Thank you for not complaining about me."

As soon as the two met, they said these embarrassing things, and they were a little uncomfortable.

"I smelled medicine when I came in, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Yan sniffed and found that the smell of medicine had faded a lot now.

"It's just that in the spring, my body is a little weak, so I asked the Imperial Doctor Department to prescribe a few pairs of medicines, which are not in the way."

Concubine Chen looked stunned, and deliberately diverted the topic and said.

"Speaking of your relationship with Xu Jin, it's not bad? I've heard a lot of praise for you and you. ”

"He treats me very well, and I want to live with him."

Hearing Shen Yan say this, Concubine Chen smiled and nodded.

She was worried...... Fortunately, things didn't go far.

"Speaking of which, I heard some time ago that the concubine in Xu Jin's mansion actually went? Is it your handiwork? ”

Shen Yan didn't expect Concubine Chen to mention An Niang's matter, and said helplessly: "I'm fine, why should I hurt her?" ”

"Why didn't you hurt her?"

Concubine Chen said in surprise: "She is the only concubine by Xu Jin's side, and you are your natural enemies." Just like the queen, although she has kind words for me and Concubine Xian on the surface, she doesn't necessarily think of any shady ways to deal with us secretly. ”

"If I deal with her, won't I be like the queen?"

The more Shen Yan listened to her words, the more outrageous he felt, and interrupted.

Although she hated An Niang, she would not kill An Niang. An Niang's ending was chosen by herself from the beginning, and since she did a detailed job, she knew what would happen to her on the day she was exposed.

Looking at Shen Yan's somewhat helpless expression, Concubine Chen squinted her eyes and said lazily: "You are not the kind of person who is the queen." If you were her, you would have died stupidly. ”

"An Niang did something wrong herself. before he was put to death. ”

"Silly girl, she didn't die doing something wrong, but she died not being favored enough and not important enough. If you hold Xu Jin, even if you do something wrong like her in the future, Xu Jin won't dare to do anything to you. ”

Concubine Chen was like a glittering favorite concubine signboard at this time, which made Shen Yan feel a wave of admiration in his heart.

She's the smartest woman in the world, right? Concubine Chen can not only understand women's minds and men's thoughts, but also roughly understand them, she is really a capable person.

If you put it now, you can be regarded as a top psychiatrist.

"Niangniang can be a favorite concubine for many years, there must be a secret, why don't you teach me two tricks?"

Shen Yan said with a joke.

Concubine Chen glanced at Shen Yan obliquely, her jade hand brushed the tassel pendant hanging down from her temples, and her red lips opened lightly: "If you want to be a qualified favorite concubine, the most important thing is not to let Your Majesty spoil me, but to let him feel that I am spoiling him." ”

This is a novelty.

It turns out that being a favorite concubine is to pamper the emperor?

Seeing Shen Yan's stunned look at this time, Concubine Chen glanced at her and said: "The concubines in the harem are waiting for Your Majesty's favor, but I will give Your Majesty favor, it's like a safe haven, he can get a comfort on my side." I shouldn't know, I shouldn't ask, I won't take the initiative to ask, I won't take care of this and that like a queen, my background is not too high like a virtuous concubine, Your Majesty is much easier on my side. Sometimes a man is very simple, as long as he feels relaxed and feels loved, he will pay more attention to you. ”

Shen Yan thought about it carefully and felt that what Concubine Chen said was very reasonable.

The emperor, who is in the highest position in the world, has always been a lonely person, and they are in high danger, so they yearn for warmth.

Concubine Chen can give him the warmth he wants, so he is the person he needs the most, and he is the person he loves the most.

Thinking of Concubine Chen's relationship with the emperor in the past, Shen Yan felt that the emperor was still a little sincere to her.

"I've made a note of this. Thank you for your advice. ”

Shen Yan raised his eyes and said with a smile.

At this time, Xin'er came in with a food box from outside and put it on the table, and said: "Niangniang, this is the pastry that Your Majesty just sent to send someone, saying that I couldn't accompany Niangniang to eat this morning, so I specially made it up for you." ”

This food box is small and exquisite, and it looks like a royal thing.

Concubine Chen didn't seem to care when she heard Xin'er's words, she reached out and pulled her sleeve to sit up straight, and said lightly: "You put it down first!" ”

"Yes, sissy."

After Xin'er left, Shen Yan teased: "I'm still worried that Concubine Li will share your favor after entering the palace, and it's still a little difficult to think about it." ”

This pastry is enough to prove that Concubine Chen still has a difference in the emperor's heart, and the weight of others.

Concubine Chen's current mother's family is the Huizhou Xu family, and this powerful mother's family was personally found by the emperor for her. Raised like this, there has been only one concubine for hundreds of years.

"I deliberately did not attend the banquet for Concubine Li to enter the palace yesterday, although Your Majesty did not say anything in his heart, he was also worried. The more worried he was, the happier he became, and the more I messed around, the more I took him to heart. ”

Concubine Chen stretched out her hand to open the food box, and as soon as she opened it, she smelled a sweet smell coming to her face. The two layers of snack boxes contained her favorite water chestnut pastry on one and soft cheese on the other.

"I understand, it is also a kind of pleasure for husband and wife to indulge in each other, and noisy and noisy is a performance of fancy to each other."

Shen Yan suddenly realized at this moment and said.

Since the emperor still puts Concubine Chen in an important position in his heart, why is he like that to Cui Ying?

"You don't have to worry about it, you don't have to worry about me, no matter how big the harem is, I've seen it, it's just a little girl, I don't care about it yet."

Concubine Chen handed the soft cheese to Shen Yan and said, "You can taste this." There are a few new dim sum made by the imperial chef in the palace, which are very delicious. ”

When Shen Yan heard this, he stretched out his hand to take it and put it in his mouth. Soft cheese melts in the mouth, with a layer of glutinous rice crust on the outside, and cheese sandwiched with fruit underneath, which is unusually sweet.

"I haven't seen this pastry before, is it from the Western Regions?"

A familiar taste came from the tip of Shen Yan's tongue, and this recipe was a bit like a modern pastry.

"What a gluttonous tongue you are! True Spirit. This new cook is indeed from the Western Regions. They will make some pastries from the Western Regions, which are novel and taste good. ”

Concubine Chen ate her own horseshoe cake and said quietly.

"I only happened to see the customs of the Western Regions recorded in a few travelogues, and it was said that a kind of sour juice would be used to make milk and goat's milk, and then make pastries, just like this one in soft cheese."

"I don't understand what you're talking about, it's just delicious, why do you care so much?"

Concubine Chen said indifferently, her slender jade fingers don't touch the spring water, she can't cook, and she doesn't care about cooking.

The two continued to talk for a while, and when it was time to leave the palace, Shen Yan left the palace and went home.
