The emperor sealed the harem show girl twice in a row, and it soon spread to everyone's ears. In Zhongcui Palace, Li Jinghan has become Li Jieyu, and Wang Qiao has also become Wang Jieyu. Above Jieyu is the concubine position, before the canonization of the nine concubines, Jieyu was already the highest position. The emperor only said that the weather was hot, and the harem was bored, and he hereby rewarded the palaces to achieve peace.
Wang Qiao was very happy, not to mention the four more palace maids, but also received many rewards, and the monthly rate was also high, and he was very grateful when he received the decree. Li Jinghan was also happy, but she didn't seem to be too public, but carefully noted down her reward and was secretly happy.
On this night, Wang Qiao had two more hands-on, and he was even more handy at eating, and after a while, five or six good dishes were on the table, and the aroma was full of appetizing.
"I don't know what's wrong with the emperor, and he gave us a boost, and all of a sudden he became Jieyu, and he rewarded a lot of things." Wang Qiao said as he sandwiched a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
"The emperor said that it was for the hot weather, and to give some rewards so that everyone would not complain. But I always feel that this reason is a bit insufficient, there should be something else that is inconvenient to disclose, right? Li Jinghan said, stirring the spoon in her hand in the bowl.
Dream shook her head, she knew that it was inconvenient for the emperor to reveal anything, but she couldn't say this, so she exchanged glances with Yuzhi. Yuzhi pursed her lips and snickered, and she glared at her to signal her to stop laughing.
"What are you doing with your master and servant?" Li Jinghan saw this scene and asked, shaking his head again and again in the dream to say no. But Li Jinghan felt that these two people must have something to hide from them, and they had a bad feeling in their hearts.
A loud "The emperor has arrived" interrupted the three of them, and the emperor and a long line behind him actually arrived at the gate of Zhongcui Palace. "Why is the emperor here?" Wang Qiao hurriedly got up, and Li Jinghan was so frightened that she almost fell off the chair. As soon as I heard that the emperor was coming, I remembered that I had told him about Zhongcui Palace yesterday, and the emperor should have come over for this.
"I smell the tempting fragrance at the gate of the palace, come in and have a look."
The three of them saluted, Wang Qiao's heart was empty, the meal was made by her, although she only made a few more dishes, but the concubines also had to have rules for eating, such a quantity did not conform to their identity, although they were afraid, but the responsibility was on her, she still had to bear: "Your Majesty, this meal is made by the concubines themselves, and it has nothing to do with the sisters, the concubines know that there are no rules like this, but ......"
Before she finished speaking, Zheng Mengjing interrupted: "Sister Qiao cooks a few more dishes, just thinking that the emperor is coming!" Kikueda, go get the chopsticks! After speaking, he winked at the emperor and winked his eyes. The emperor was also in a good mood, smiled back at her, and said: "The meals in the queen's palace are all soups and soups, which are really not to my liking, and I am hungry today." ”
After speaking, the emperor sat down and looked at the food on the table, Li Jinghan and Wang Qiao were stunned. Wang Qiao thought that the emperor was serious and difficult to speak, and he didn't want the emperor to have such a good temperament. Li Jinghan saw Zheng Mengjing and the emperor flirting with each other, and did not speak.
"You eat too, don't always care so much about etiquette." The emperor was in a good mood. He knew that the meals in the imperial dining room were already tired of eating, and Wang Qiao's craftsmanship was fresh.
"This crunchy and sweet, but lotus seeds? It seems to be a little smaller. The Emperor asked, picking up a pearl-sized ball in the soup.
"Back to the emperor, this is indeed a lotus seed, but it is not yet mature, so it is smaller. This is the concubine leading the servants to the palace garden to pick, and collect the dew on the lotus leaves, and stew the chicken soup together. ”
"No wonder, I don't feel greasy at all when I drink this soup, and there is a sweet lotus fragrance, which is the best in summer. This chicken soup is a thousand times better than what the imperial dining room makes. The emperor couldn't help but drink another bowl.
"Concubines don't dare to be." Wang Qiaoxi's expression couldn't be hidden, and the corners of his mouth had curved into a crescent moon.
Dream and Li Jinghan glanced at each other, couldn't help but laugh out loud, and seeing that the emperor was eating with relish, Dream suddenly sighed.
"Zheng Jieyu sighs so well, but what's on her mind?"
"The concubine is out of order." The dream is about to speak and stops.
"You say." The Emperor cared about everything she thought and thought, and he wanted her to say it.
"Seeing that it's June 6th," Zheng Mengjing thought about it and still opened his mouth, "There is a saying among the people, June 6th, please aunt." The dream's eyes dimmed.
June 6, please aunt, it has been since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Every day on this day, every family in the people should invite the old and young girls who got married, and then send them back.
"Is my sister homesick?" Li Jinghan asked with concern.
"Homesick?" The Emperor's heart tightened, her father had been killed by herself, and she said this, which caused him to fall into self-reproach again.
"Yes, some," the dream bowed, "but when the concubine enters the Forbidden City, she is the emperor's person, and the Forbidden City is the home of the concubine." The concubine thought that if there was more excitement in the sixth palace in June, maybe the sisters would be more comfortable. ”
"That being the case, I will hold a family feast on June 6. The Queen Mother also likes to be lively and harmonious, and this proposal is good. "The emperor only thinks about dreams and happiness in his heart,
The dream is grateful: "The emperor is sympathetic to the concubines, and the concubines are grateful." ”
Wang Qiao and Li Jinghan also knelt down: "Emperor Xie is sympathetic to the feelings of his concubines. ”
The emperor continued to eat, and his mouth did not stop: "No courtesy, no courtesy, get up and eat together, the dishes are cold." He was happy in his heart, he didn't expect that he would be so relaxed in front of these three people.
After finishing the meal, the emperor returned to the palace and called Feng Bao: "Tell the queen that I have returned to the palace." After a few more words to Feng Bao, Feng Bao glanced at Wang Qiao with a meaningful smile on his face.
Zheng Mengjing knew in her heart that the emperor would come to Zhongcui Palace because of her, but she also saw Feng Bao's eyes, and the dimness in her eyes was quickly hidden without anyone noticing.
The dream realm did not eat Wang Qiao's vinegar in his heart, but understood the emperor's mind too well. The emperor doesn't go back to the queen's palace, and he wants to see her often, the best way is to pamper Wang Qiao and come to Zhongcui Palace more, and the routine is exactly the same as the Qin family back then. But the Qin clan is just that, in the end, it has no love for dreams. Wang Qiao is like a sister in a dream, if the emperor clearly spoils her, she is straight, she is a person without a city, once she is favored, it is easy to be jealous and calculating by the concubine, and cause trouble. Because the emperor often saw her when he wanted to, he didn't take care of Sister Qiao, which made the dream frown for a while.
Mengjing had no choice but to tell Li Jinghan: "If my sister is favored today, if someone makes it difficult for her in the future, you should inquire more in the palace, be more cautious, and help my sister." ”
Although Li Jinghan nodded in agreement, she really didn't believe that Wang Qiao could be favored. A woman who doesn't read much books goes to the kitchen like a subordinate all day long, how can the emperor spoil her? Li Jinghan felt that Zheng Mengjing was too careful, but after a while, she was dumbfounded, because not long after she agreed, she saw Feng Bao turn back halfway, and when she came back, she directly announced that Wang Qiao went to bed.
Li Jinghan's face was incredible, Wang Qiao was at a loss, and he sighed in his dream and said that he was tired and returned to the palace. Ju Zhi hurriedly helped his master, who was still out of condition, to change his clothes, and Li Jinghan sat alone, looking depressed.
Seeing that everyone was leaving, Lan Ye led two palace maids up to clean up the scraps on the table. Li Jinghan was still sitting at the table, looking blankly at where Wang Qiao went. Just now, Lan Ye saw all this secretly in the distance. Because Li Jinghan specially explained to her, she had to stand far away from Zheng Mengjing, and it was best not to come out, so she had the opportunity to hide and peek. Because he had served Li Jinghan for a long time, Lan Ye knew in his heart that his master was not convinced, so he spoke: "The master is so much better than Sister Qiao, the emperor doesn't even look at it, and it's just that Zheng Mengjing is just eyebrow-to-eye, and he actually summoned Qiao Jieyu." ”
"Shut up." Li Jinghan was used to it, but she was too lazy to murder her, but after hearing this, she felt very uncomfortable. She had to comfort herself that because she was not sixteen, the emperor didn't look at her.
