Chapter 70: Concubine Yuexian's Old Affair
"Concubine Yan?" The emperor had another headache, one just left and the other came again, just wanting to come over and be angry with him.
"Nope."
There was silence outside for a while, and it seemed that she heard what Concubine Zhou Yan said, and the eunuch added tremblingly, "Concubine Yan said that she brought some food ...... to the emperor."
The emperor slowly opened his eyes, at this time, he had already lost his anger, and all those angry and corrupt were hidden in the ink-colored pupils.
He accompanies the emperor day and night, and he can't really figure out the emperor's thoughts, and these harem ladies are even more unknown!
"Let him in." The emperor waved his hand to let Gonggong Li stop talking and spoke lightly.
As the door was pushed open, Gonggong Li silently stepped aside, he was not so arrogant that he thought that he had moved the emperor, and the Son of Heaven was more thoughtful than anyone else.
Even if Concubine Yue Xian made him angry like that, he didn't descend the path of thunder, not only because he had affection for her, but the reason and concerns were probably only known to the emperor himself.
As soon as Concubine Zhou Yan came in, she saw a table full of messes, and a glass of shaved ice that she had never seen before, her phoenix eyes moved, and she stuck it on the emperor with all kinds of charm, "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that you don't have much appetite, so she deliberately made a few light appetites." ”
The emperor put his arms around her waist, his eyes flashing, "Let me see what the concubine brought?" ”
With the approval, Zhou Yanfei hurriedly opened the basket, and a few kinds of porridge and side dishes, although they were not as beautiful as big fish and meat, they were still delicate and small.
The green onion jade touched the glass bowl with her thin fingers, "This porridge was specially cooled and served, and it is a hot product in this midsummer." ”
Concubine Zhou Yan said as she fed the spoon to the emperor's mouth.
A little bit of meat foam was added to the porridge, and the spoon could smell the fishy smell of minced meat from a long distance, and the emperor couldn't help retching before he had time to open his mouth.
Concubine Zhou Yan hurriedly put down the bowl and stroked his back, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”
Seeing this, Gonggong Li walked up in a few steps and wanted to hand over a cup of tea, but the cup was steaming, so he could only put the colorful glazed shaved ice in front of him.
The emperor took a bite, and he instantly felt a lot better, and the illusion of smoke in his throat disappeared a lot.
Seeing that the shaved ice was so magical, Zhou Yanfei's eyes were glued to it, "What is this, how is it so magical?" ”
Gonggong Li replied respectfully, "I don't know, it's the chef that Concubine Xian is looking for." ”
This dish does not look difficult, but it requires a lot of knife skills and patience, and a small piece of ice is so finely chopped and served with jam that I have to admire the chef's ingenuity!
Hearing Concubine Xian, the smile on Concubine Zhou Yan's face stiffened, and then she said as if it was enough, "It turns out that my sister has already come." ”
And she was one step ahead of her, and the food she brought worked again, but she felt a nameless anger burning in her chest, and she was about to swallow it in her stomach under the gaze of the emperor.
The emperor relieved himself and ordered Gonggong Li to go to Concubine Yuexian's dormitory and get some shaved ice.
Seeing this, the corners of Concubine Yuexian's mouth rose slightly, revealing a little gentleness, "Your Majesty, my sister has made a great contribution, you have to reward her well." ”
The emperor let go of Concubine Zhou Yan, squinting as if smiling, "Concubine Ai, tell me how to reward her?" ”
You can't see a trace of a smile in his pupils, and there is even a meaningful Leng Ling in the depths of the ink, Zhou Yanfei blinked her eyes, "I heard that the Western Regions paid tribute to a batch of silk, and my sister always wears some plain clothes, and this silk can just decorate her." ”
"Is it just a small silk to solve the big problem of my meal?"
The emperor curled his fingers and knocked on the table with no match, "I have thought of a way, do you want to hear it?" ”
His gaze was under pressure, and fell on Zhou Yanfei, uncomfortable, Zhou Yanfei forced herself to laugh, "The emperor's method must be the best, my sister is so powerful, and she deserves the best reward." ”
"Aifei is not jealous?"
"The concubines only hope that the emperor is healthy, and nothing else."
"Good!" The emperor was very satisfied with her answer, got up from his chair, and took out a piece of paper, "The ancestor worship is about to arrive, I think that the virtuous concubine is gentle and virtuous, and she is careful in her work, and it is best to accompany me to fast and bathe for three days." ”
After he finished speaking, he went straight to the pen, and as soon as he finished writing a line of words, Concubine Zhou Yan couldn't help but speak, "Your Majesty, the queen accompanies you every year, although the concubine has a low status, she doesn't dare to say anything about this matter, but she still feels wronged for the queen's sister." ”
"The queen has been overworked in recent years, and I intend to let her rest." The emperor didn't raise his head, the brush in his hand flew up and down, and he quickly wrote a few lines.
Although Concubine Zhou Yan was dissatisfied, she didn't know where to start, so she could only watch the holy decree be written.
It wasn't long before she found an excuse to leave the study.
The emperor stopped his pen and stared at the content for a long time.
"What do you think of my decision?" The emperor looked at it for a long time, and suddenly asked to himself.
Gonggong Li was like a great enemy, and said cautiously, "The emperor's decision is very thoughtful. ”
Everyone thought that in the entire harem, except for the queen who was Concubine Zhou Yan, no matter how poor she was, she was Shu Meiren, who had no children and no daughters, but this time, no one expected that a nameless concubine would come forward.
The harem is like a big dye vat, with a little stirring, she will become the target of everyone, but this dye vat is equal to the queen and Concubine Zhou Yan, and it seems to have no waves, like a pool of stagnant water.
The emperor's move made the entire harem come alive again, letting everyone know that in addition to the queen and Concubine Zhou Yan, there are other options.
The more Gonggong Li thought about it, the more he felt that the emperor's move was wonderful, and when he looked up again, he saw the emperor's gloomy pursed lips, and a possibility suddenly flashed in his mind!
Perhaps under these signs, the emperor has another reason, he is angry with Concubine Yue Xian, Concubine Yue Xian should be regarded as a clear stream in this palace, not fighting or grabbing, only in the matter of the Nine Emperor Princes will some emotions flow, this time, I am afraid it is also to make the emperor have some impression of the Nine Emperor Princes.
The emperor has never felt Concubine Yuexian's attention to him, and after this ancestor worship, Concubine Yuexian became the target of everyone, and she had to rely on the emperor.
Gonggong Li hid the thoughts in his heart, cleaned up the mess on the table, silently withdrew from the imperial study, and as soon as he walked out, he hurriedly knelt down to Concubine Yan last week.
"Father-in-law doesn't need to be polite." Concubine Zhou Yan waved her hand and stopped him from saluting, "Can you take a step to speak?" ”
Gonggong Li glanced back at the imperial study, nodded, and followed Concubine Zhou Yan to an ear room.
Concubine Zhou Yan retreated left and right, holding a noble shelf, and asked him straight to the point, "Father-in-law, do you know the relationship between Concubine Yue Xian and the emperor?" ”
