Chapter 12: When I Want You to Hurt, You Have to Hurt

She avoided all the things related to the Empress Yuan, and ordered someone to cut down all the peach trees that her mother liked in the Changle Palace, and even the peach blossom cake that her mother liked the most.

Her younger brother who her mother exchanged for her life didn't even look at it, even if Gao Changchen was the first to shout when he learned to speak, Gao Changle's heart was as cold as a knife.

Gao Changle became more and more willful and tricky, and he was furious at the slightest mistake.

The more Emperor Jiayuan loved her, the more unwilling she was to punish her, the more she felt that Emperor Jiayuan was weak-hearted, if it weren't for the location of so many concubines in the harem, the queen mother would not have made people calculate, he was just ashamed in his heart, and the more he created Gao Changle's extreme.

Even if she later knew that Changchen was no wonder at all, he was just a child with a hard life, and she wanted to hear his imperial sister but couldn't hear it.

Even if she later understood that the harem and the previous dynasty were closely connected when she was in power, sometimes it was not love, but it was just for the sake of power and balance, and it was too late to say sorry to Emperor Jiayuan.

In this way, because of her paranoia, she hurt the two closest people in the world......

It turns out that some things don't exist because you don't want to forget them.

The pain is buried deep in the heart like a needle, and you may not feel it when you don't pay attention, but it doesn't exist, and you have to hurt when it wants you to hurt.

I haven't seen the peach blossom cake for many years, and the appearance is still the same as that made by the queen mother, but I don't know how it tastes.

Gao Changle slowly stretched out his hand, did not ask Zhu Yu to help, but went to get a piece of peach blossom cake in his hand, as if he had exhausted all his strength, Gao Changle himself could feel the trembling of her arm, Li Shao wrinkled his eyebrows on the side, and saw Gao Changle's actions in his eyes.

"Your Highness, you have a taste, if there is anything bad, the slave will replace you with a new imperial chef tomorrow."

Looking at Gao Changle, who had not moved for a long time, the crested ibis hurriedly stepped forward to be careful, she didn't know what Gao Changle was thinking, but she saw Gao Changle's eyebrows frowning, lowering his eyes, thinking that Gao Changle felt that the peach blossom cake was not done well, and he was a little angry.

Originally, there were many imperial chefs in the palace who could make peach blossom cakes, but Gao Changle hadn't eaten it for three years, let alone anyone was allowed to mention it.

Gao Changle didn't answer the crested ibis, but just put the peach blossom cake in his mouth and took a bite.

Bitter.

The ones she ate in her memory and those made by Empress Yuan were all sweet.

Gao Changle put down the peach blossom cake he had bitten into, took a deep breath, and then hid the tears in his eyes, and tried his best to make his voice sound calm, "Li Shao." ”

"The minions are here!" Li Shao stepped forward.

"Go and send this plate of peach blossom cake to Chaoyang Palace." Gao Changle said lightly.

At this moment, Emperor Jiayuan is dining with Concubine Cao Shu in Chaoyang Palace, this peach blossom cake is not for Concubine Cao Shu, but for Emperor Jiayuan.

Between his eyes, Li Shao had already clearly distinguished Gao Changle's intentions, picked up the plate of peach blossom cake, and put it in the red lacquered wooden food box, "Yes, the slave will do it." ”

Li Shao's figure left and disappeared into the night, but Zhu Cui didn't know when to get up, and found Gao Changle in shame, "Your Highness......"

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, slave...... The slave didn't mean it! ”

Dare to faint when she was on an errand, when Zhucui woke up, she felt that this was a bolt from the blue, according to Gao Changle's character, she didn't pick up a layer of her own skin, it was her most favored face, and she was afraid that Gao Changle would not be forgiven for making such a mistake.

Zhu Cui closed her eyes and died generously, but she didn't want Gao Changle to seem like she didn't hear it, but instead commanded Zhu Yu to eat after that.

The crested ibis quietly waved her hand and motioned for Zhucui to step back, and said in a low voice, "Sister Zhucui, Your Highness is in a good mood right now, don't come forward to make the princess unhappy!" ”

Well, Gao Changle is in a good mood now.

This is what Li Shao said, and it has nothing to do with the crested ibis!

"Really?"

Zhucui really breathed a sigh of relief, and stood obediently by Gao Changle's side, and offered his hospitality from time to time.

——

Chaoyang Palace.

The orange glazed palace lamp seems to dispel the darkness and illuminate the entire dormitory.

Cao Shufei was wearing a long skirt with light blue silver embroidered white butterfly flowers, combing a simple peach heart hairpin, obliquely inserting a jade hairpin, and the hanging thin silver tassels set off by the golden crimson light Cao Shufei's face was delicate and lovely, sultry, and at this moment she was looking at the middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow embroidered gold thread five-clawed golden dragon in front of her.

"What does the emperor think of tonight's dishes?"

"It's all cooked by the concubine herself, I heard that the emperor has always been in an instant in recent days, and I think it is also due to the tiredness of reviewing and playing day and night, so I specially boiled a bowl of lotus seed white fungus soup for you, moisturizing the lungs and relieving cough, the emperor, do you want to taste it?"

Concubine Cao Shufei is not high-born, but she has outstanding appearance, and her personality is very gentle and considerate, when she is in Chaoyang Palace, she can always make Emperor Jiayuan relax a lot, so at first it may be because Concubine Cao Shu loves Gao Changle and has a lot of favor for her, and then Emperor Jiayuan himself wants to rest.

"It's fine."

Emperor Jiayuan nodded.

Concubine Cao Shufei stepped forward with a happy face, carefully served a bowl for Emperor Jiayuan, and arranged the dishes in the dishes for Emperor Jiayuan, and looked at Emperor Jiayuan with a little shyness in her eyes.

is already middle-aged, but Emperor Jiayuan's body is becoming more and more calm and handsome, and the carved angular facial features have become more mature and charming because of the precipitation of the years.

It's just that she was humble at the time, just a beloved person who couldn't be named.

At that time, she didn't dare to think that she would have the day when she would be by Emperor Jiayuan's side.

Under Concubine Cao Shu's expectant gaze, Emperor Jiayuan slowly drank a few sips of white fungus soup and praised indifferently, "Your craftsmanship is still so good." ”

"It's just that it's hot in the middle of summer, and you don't have to do these things yourself."

After receiving Emperor Jiayuan's praise, Concubine Cao Shu's face became more and more embarrassed, and a few blushes appeared on her cheeks when she lowered her head, "What is the emperor saying, if you can get the emperor's praise, it is worth it even if the concubine dies, not to mention the kitchen to wash your hands and make soup for the emperor." ”

"The concubine is willing."

"As long as the emperor likes it, the concubine is willing to do it for the emperor for the rest of her life!"

Emperor Jiayuan patted Concubine Cao Shufei's hand, and didn't say much, he understood that Concubine Cao Shufei was only good at doing these things, so he turned to talk about other topics, "Why don't you see Changxue?" ”

Speaking of Gao Changxue, Concubine Cao Shu's eyes were full of spring water, "The emperor doesn't want to blame, Changxue, this kid is a little too unbalanced." ”
