Chapter 60: Hundred Fruits

Xu Zhaoyi heard that Shen Yan went to Concubine Xian's Changle Hall but did not come to her Feiling Palace, she was a little unhappy, pressed the corner of her forehead, and asked Xin'er: "Is the horseshoe cake here in the palace not delicious, or is the tea not delicious?" She's going to run to Concubine Xian. ”

"After the emperor recovered from her illness this time, she came to the Feiling Hall to be diligent, this is the first time she went to the Changle Palace, after all, Concubine Xian is also a master......"

Xin'er comforted Xu Zhaoyi, and her anger subsided a little.

As soon as Shen Yan entered the door, he saw Xu Zhaoyi humming and drinking tea, and couldn't help but sneer, and said loudly: "Zhaoyi, what's wrong?" But the tea is not good? Or is today's chestnut crisp not crispy enough? ”

Hearing this familiar ridicule, Xin'er smiled and bowed slightly to Shen Yan who entered the door.

"It's not you yet! What kind of Changle Hall did you go to, and the palace thought that you were poured ecstasy soup by Cui Ya, and your mind was not clear. ”

Xu Zhaoyi's words were disrespectful, the virtuous concubine was in a high position, but she called her by her name, fortunately, Xin'er Shen Yan Xiaoxing was used to it.

Xin'er breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said with a smile: "Di Ji will talk to her mother for a while, and I will go to the small kitchen with Sister Xiaoxing to find some snacks, the new cook has good skills." ”

With Shen Yan's approval, the two went out with a smile.

Shen Yan sighed, sat down on the seat by himself, turned over the teacup with his bare hands, and said, "Today, Concubine Xian gave me a large piece of sinking wood, I went to thank me first, and then came to Zhaoyi to ask for tea." ”

"Sinking wood?"

Xu Yu raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, and Shen Yan nodded.

This is strange, Concubine Xian has always been above the top, and since entering the palace, she has always been cold to Kang and Emperor Ji, how could she send Shen Shuimu to her.

"Bengong now thinks that it wasn't her who poured you any ecstasy soup, it was you who poured her! Otherwise, how could Concubine Xian give you such a good thing? ”

Xu Zhaoyi felt that she had guessed correctly, and her face was sad. With her arms around her chest and her proud head raised, she slowly walked to the mat and sat down.

His eyes were tactful, and he looked at Shen Yan's calm expression.

"Then I can't, Concubine Xian was born in the Qinghe Cui clan, where can I pour it down?"

Shen Yan smiled lightly, not caring, and when he saw Xu Yu sitting down, he poured tea for her.

"Hey, this palace kindly reminds you, Concubine Xian's entry into the palace is a wonderful move by His Majesty to win over the family, her status is not ordinary, there is only a prime minister behind the queen, and behind Concubine Xian is the entire Qinghe Cui family."

Xu Zhaoyi said with a straight face, she was rarely serious, and Shen Yan put away her jokes and nodded.

"You just said that she is a wonderful chess piece for His Majesty to win over the family, could it be that Concubine Xian was accepted by the imperial brother on his own initiative?"

Shen Yan turned his fingers around the teacup, seemingly unintentionally asked.

Xu Zhaoyi said lazily: "Look at what you said, which of the concubines in this palace was not accepted by His Majesty?" No matter how good Cui Ya's background is, she is also the daughter of the Cui family, where can she force the emperor to marry her? What's more, Your Majesty accepted her as a concubine ten years ago......"

In the end, Xu Zhaoyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and her deliberately lowered tone seemed to mean something.

Ten years ago.

Shen Yan shook his hand, ten years ago, Kang He Emperor Ji was not dead, Wang Huanzhi was only a general of Huxi, and the imperial power was high.

In that case, if the emperor is unwilling, how can Cui Ya enter the palace as a concubine.

"Concubine Xian, what kind of person is it?"

Shen Yan asked softly.

The information she learned in the other garden was limited, and Wang Huanzhi's knowledge of the concubine was limited to the part that had something to do with Kang and Emperor Ji.

Xu Zhaoyi chuckled, her words were provocative and casual, and said: "Concubine Xian, she is a very smart woman, when I entered the palace late, the women in the harem looked down on me as a commoner, and they were embarrassed by me in every way, but only the best concubine did not embarrass me." ”

"Concubine Xian has achieved virtuous and virtuous virtue, and her smile is always so gentle, but I always feel that there is something hidden behind her smile. Later, I realized that she didn't embarrass me that day because she didn't look down on me at all, and people like me were like ants in her eyes, and they didn't need to be put in their eyes. ”

Xu Zhaoyi's eyes were casual, but Shen Yan knew that the pain she experienced behind these words was something she couldn't imagine.

"What she said today was meant to make me sad......

Shen Yan said secretly.

Concubine Xian held back for so many years to tell this story, and the pride and hatred behind it became thick in the boiling day by day.

Behind the entanglement and troubles, Shen Yan can only rot this matter in his stomach forever and bear the past with Cui Ya.

"What did she say?"

Xu Zhaoyi heard Shen Yan's whispered words, her eyes lit up, and she asked rhetorically.

Shen Yan's heart warmed when he saw her like this, but he only shook his head and said with a light smile: "It's okay, it's just some small things." ”

Her appearance is not a trivial matter.

Thinking of the banquet a few days ago, Xu Zhaoyi sneered.

"If it's for Cui Min's business, you don't have to take Cui Ya's words to heart. Their Qinghe Cui clan has a high spirit, and they feel that no one in the world is worthy of them. ”

Xu Zhaoyi guessed half right, Shen Yan supported his head with his arm, and looked at her on the table.

Shen Yan's expression was well-behaved, looking at her with a pair of apricot eyes, Xu Zhaoyi's heart was alarmed, frowning, and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

"It's nothing, I just think Zhaoyi is so chic, which makes Kang He admire."

Shen Yan sneered, blinked his eyes and said.

Xu Zhaoyi snorted coldly, brushed his fingers over Yun's sideburns and bun, and said with a smile: "I said something nice today, and this palace will forgive you for going to Changle Hall first." ”

"Mother, Emperor."

Xin'er and Xiaoxing entered the hall with a three-layer food box at this time.

Seeing this heroic posture, Shen Yan couldn't help but say, "Did Zhaoyi eat dim sum as a meal?" ”

"You are also the emperor of a country, how can you ask such a simple question?"

Xu Zhaoyi was stunned for a moment, tilted her forehead on the side of the seat, and said with some amusement.

Xin'er stepped forward to open the food box and laid out one plate after another.

"Diji, this is the dim sum made by the cook in the Western Regions that Niangniang found some time ago. This is cow cheese, gerry cake, modified small crispy naan, this is wine from the Western Regions, barley cake, and fruit layer cake. ”

She introduced Shen Yan the same, and then Shen Yan understood that this was a tasting meeting.

"Most of these things are things from the Western Regions, how can Zhaoyi think of eating these things?"

Shen Yan picked up a piece of cake with a hundred fruit layers, and when she bit into it, there were several different dried fruits, and the special sweetness of raisins permeated the tip of her tongue, making her feel in a trance.

In modern times, most foods have no geographical boundaries.

She can eat coconut in the cold ice city, or drink barley wine in the corner of Hainan, and the geographical limitations are broken because of the convenience of transportation.

At this time, the piece of fruit layer cake in her hand, which is similar to cutting cake, is precious.
