CHAPTER XXIII
The moonlight is as cold as water, shining on people, and it even shows a bit of coolness.
As soon as Fupu's words fell, Jin Yantang stopped, and the air was extremely quiet, only the sound of the wind blowing.
Fupp suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly slapped his two loud ears, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave should die!" Damn the minions! Slaves should not speculate on Concubine Chen's intentions, please calm your anger! ”
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
After waiting for Fu Pu to slap himself several times, Jin Yantang said lightly: "Okay, take care of your mouth, and next time, I cut your tongue!" ”
Fupu shuddered, and immediately responded: "The slave is guilty, thank you for your kindness!" ”
Concubine Ning's father, Wen Quanwu, was an important minister in the court, and he was the secretary of the second-grade military department, and he could call tens of thousands of elite soldiers anytime and anywhere.
Now that he has just ascended the throne, the remnants of the previous dynasty are still active, and there is war on the frontier, so he has to pamper Concubine Ning to stabilize Wen Quanwu's heart.
The foreign war has not yet been resolved, and he, as the emperor, has to be wet with rain and dew to stabilize the court.
If anyone has the intention of rebellion at this time, it will be extremely unfavorable to Jin Yantang.
Jin Yantang walked in the direction of the imperial dining room, his eyes were slightly dark, as deep as an ancient pool, making people unable to guess what was going on.
Fupp followed him honestly, not daring to say anything more.
At this time, in the imperial dining room.
After listening to Gardenia's complaints during the day, Xiaoxia tried to make an improved version of rock sugar chowder; But Niangniang likes to eat sweet, and she can't put more sugar, so she stayed in the imperial dining room and studied for most of the day.
Xiaoxia has a lively and lovely temperament, and she is very popular with Li Xiulian, the chief eunuch of the imperial dining room, and she is one of the four palace maids next to Concubine Niangniang of the elegant palace, and Li Xiulian is also happy that she is making inventions here.
When Xiaoxia was chiseling the ice, he suddenly saw that all the people around him knelt down towards the door, and respectfully said: "Slave see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed with Jin'an!" ”
The emperor is here?!
Xiaoxia was shocked, and quickly turned around and knelt down in the direction of the door.
Not long after, Xiao Xia heard a sound of footsteps, and then, a pair of bright yellow boots embroidered with gold thread and moire appeared in front of Xiao Xia's eyes.
But she heard a very low and indifferent voice sounding over her head: "You are the maidservant in Concubine Chen's palace, why don't you take good care of Concubine Chen, what are you doing in this imperial dining room?" ”
Xiaoxia and Zhiqiu and others were assigned by Jin Yantang to go to Xianya Palace, in order to take good care of Concubine Chen, and now it is three o'clock, but Xiaoxia is still staying in the imperial dining room, so Jin Yantang stepped forward to ask.
Xiaoxia swallowed her saliva nervously, lowered her head and said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid thought that it had been hot recently, and she was afraid that the things made by the cook would not suit her appetite, so she came to the imperial dining room to study some food ......"
As she spoke, Xiaoxia's voice lowered.
Does Lan'er have a bad appetite?
Jin Yantang's eyes were stunned, and then he moved his lips and said, "Then you can study it carefully." ”
At this time, Li Xiulian, the chief eunuch of the imperial dining room, stepped forward in small steps, and said with a flattering smile to Jin Yantang: "Your Majesty, you came to the imperial dining room so late, but is there anything you want to eat to order the servants to make?" ”
Jin Yantang said lightly: "Concubine Ning Niangniang has not had a good appetite recently, you can add more snacks, and make some jade plate delicacies to send to Concubine Ning's palace later, if you don't do well, I will punish you for a year's money, understand?" ”
The frugal wind was originally prevalent in the palace, but the emperor personally came here to order them because of Concubine Ning's poor appetite to make some "jade plate delicacies" and send them to Concubine Ning's bedroom.
Li Xiulian's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "The slave understands, please rest assured, Your Majesty, if you don't do it well, the slave will definitely come to see you!" ”
Jin Yantang nodded, turned around and walked out, without looking at Na Xiaoxia again.
An imperial concubine, a concubine Ning who is pregnant with a dragon heir, both of them have a bad appetite, but the emperor is only nervous about Concubine Ning, and the wind direction in the imperial dining room has changed again since tonight.
And Concubine Ning was poisoned, the emperor cared for Concubine Ning, and the news that Concubine Ning was even more favored quickly spread to the palaces like a June evening breeze.
That night, the emperor rested in Concubine Ning's palace.
At that time, the lights of each palace were dimmed, and when everyone rested, only the bedroom of Concubine Chen in the Xianya Palace was still lit by candlelight.
On the beauty couch, Shang Kelan, who was dressed in a white tulle dress, leisurely held the book in her hand and looked at it; Gardenia waited aside, sleepy in her eyes.
Suddenly, Wen Chun, dressed in a pink palace uniform, walked in.
"Slave and maid see Niangniang!"
Shang Kelan's eyes flashed slightly, then put down the book, raised her eyes and looked at her and said, "Get up, you don't have to salute me at night in the future, if you have anything to say, look at you, your forehead is full of sweat." ”
As he spoke, Shang Kelan came to Wen Chun with her shoes on, and took out a white brocade embroidered plum blossom handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe Wen Chun's sweat.
Wen Chun blushed slightly, got up and thanked Shang Kelan, and then told Shang Kelan the news he had found out from Concubine Ning's palace.
Shang Kelan stood in front of her and listened quietly, and after Wen Chun finished saying that the old lady had found out that the pastry she gave to Concubine Ning was poisonous, Shang Kelan couldn't help but hook her lips and smile, so she sat back on the beauty couch in a good time.
She knew that Concubine Ning would not be so peaceful.
It's just that she didn't expect Concubine Ning to do it to her so quickly, because Xiao Guiren's incident made her ugly in front of the emperor, so Concubine Ning couldn't wait to fight back against her?
Shang Kelan thought in her heart, there was a dark light in her eyes as beautiful as peach blossoms, so that people couldn't see their thoughts clearly.
Before Shang Kelan could react, Gardenia on the side couldn't help it.
After hearing the news of Wen Chun, Gardenia was sleepy, and couldn't help but point to the direction of Concubine Ning's bedroom outside the window and scolded: "It's still a mother, from a famous family, but she has done such a despicable and insidious villainous act, I'm sorry!" ”
Saying that, Gardenia still felt angry, so she scolded again: "My mother kindly gave her pastries to eat, but instead of appreciating it, she also gave us a rake, which is really a piece of sincere feeding to the dog, hateful!" ”
This is in his bedroom, and the unrelated palace maids have already retreated, so it is nothing to let Gardenia relieve his anger.
Wen Chun, who looked uneasy on the side, couldn't help but relax a little after listening to Gardenia's words.
Shang Kelan raised her hand and touched her cheek and said, "Okay, what's the anger?" Life in the palace is like this, I am cheating, and see what will happen tomorrow, our soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover it. ”
After finishing speaking, Shang Kelan looked at Wen Chun again and said, "You said that Your Majesty was very angry after hearing the reason for Concubine Ning's poisoning at that time, and smashed a blue and white porcelain tea cup from the official kiln of the previous dynasty on the spot?" ”
Wen Chun nodded hurriedly and responded, "Exactly." ”
When Shang Kelan heard this, she nodded clearly, lay back on the beauty couch, and said softly: "It seems that ...... Go to the queen tomorrow to say goodbye, this palace will have to fall into the misery of the public! ”
