Jiang Guiren hurriedly said: "The concubine understands. However, the concubine is grateful, I wonder if the emperor can reward the concubine with a thin noodle and taste the lotus leaf soup that the concubine specially boiled for the emperor? ”

Lotus leaf soup.

The emperor thought for a moment that Su Youyi liked lotus flowers and lotus leaves the most, and she had also used them to make soup.

He said: "It's almost winter, where are the lotus leaves?" ”

Seeing that he seemed interested, Jiang Guiren hurriedly smiled and said, "It is dried and boiled with the tender lotus leaves picked in summer, which can best clear the fire." The emperor seems to be in a bad mood these days, and the concubines specially prepare. ”

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't seem to be very satisfied with this statement.

Just when Jiang Guiren suspected that he had said something wrong, he suddenly saw Xiao Yizi rushing in from outside the palace, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yan is here." ”

Jiang Guiren's complexion changed, and his face with exquisite makeup suddenly became difficult to look at.

She only came on the front foot, and Concubine Yan also came on the back foot, isn't this deliberately aimed at her?

She looked at her head and only hoped that the emperor would not see Concubine Yan, but the emperor said, "Let her in." ”

"The Emperor's ......"

Jiang Guiren wanted to stop it, but he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything, so he had to grit his teeth and get angry.

Concubine Yan came in from outside the hall in plain clothes, and even the cloak on her body was stone blue, and the emperor glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and raised his head suddenly.

This one action was enough to make Jiang Gui angry.

It turned out that the emperor saw Yan Concubine's dress and thought that Su Youyi was coming, so he raised his head in surprise, but he didn't expect that the person who came was Yan Concubine.

He was a little disappointed, but his face remained silent, "You happened to come to see me today, what is the matter?" ”

Concubine Yan stepped forward and saluted, and then looked at Jiang Guiren with a look of surprise.

"Why is Jiang Guiren here? The concubines didn't know that there were people in the emperor, so they would have come back later. The concubine went to see the second prince yesterday, and she wanted to tell the emperor about some things about the second prince. ”

She used the second prince as an excuse, it was seamless, and it was useless for Jiang Guiren to obstruct it if she wanted to.

At this time, the benefits of having a child are reflected, even if it is just an adopted child, it is better than nothing.

Jiang Guiren hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the lotus leaf soup brought by the concubine is going to be cold, the emperor will taste it first." ”

She tried to squeeze Yan Concubine aside, but Yan Concubine glanced at her and laughed out loud.

This laughter was particularly harsh, and Jiang Guiren couldn't pretend not to hear it.

Concubine Yan said: "Noble Jiang, didn't I tell you about the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet last time?" You look old in such a color, and you wear such heavy makeup, like an old woman desperately brushing her face **, trying to cover her wrinkles. ”

As she spoke, she looked at the purple cloak taken by the palace man behind her, and laughed even harder, "Rust red with such a thick purple cloak?" Jiang Guiren, you are also from the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, how can you dress up and know that you are rich and noble? ”

Jiang Guiren was so embarrassed by her ridicule that he immediately said, "You...... It's better than your shabby light blue with stone blue, right? ”

"Shut up."

Before Concubine Yan could speak, the emperor coldly stopped Jiang Guiren, "Who said shabby?" I think it's pretty. ”

Jiang Guiren was taken aback, almost unable to believe what he had heard.

When did the emperor praise the dress of the concubine?

Perhaps, she hadn't heard of it anyway, so she suddenly heard her mouth open and almost stuffed eggs.

She was not the only one who was surprised, but Yan Concubine herself was also surprised.

But she quickly reacted, the emperor praised her for her beautiful clothes, not really praising her, but praising Su Youyi.

This kind of plain dress is Su Youyi's usual hobby, and the light blue color is also the color that Su Youyi often wears, and the emperor's reaction is so strong, it can be seen that he still has Su Youyi in his heart.

Yan Concubine suddenly smiled.

The purpose of her coming today was to prevent Jiang Guiren from competing for favor, but now she was sure that the emperor still had Su Youyi in his heart, so it was useless for anyone who wanted to compete for favor.

The rhetoric she had thought of before was useless, and her heart suddenly settled down.

Jiang Guiren was reprimanded by the emperor like this, and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty...... The concubine didn't mean that, it was Concubine Yan who laughed at the concubine first. ”

The emperor glanced at her lightly, "Concubine Yan is right, this color is indeed old-fashioned." In my memory, the queen mother rarely wore this color until the death of the immortal for a few years, and she was too old. ”

Jiang Guiren's face turned pale suddenly, her lips trembled, and she didn't dare to imagine that the emperor would also join Concubine Yan to laugh at her dress.

Is there something wrong with her dressing?

Red and purple are all noble colors, they are worn by noble people, like those plain and light colors are worn by inconspicuous people, what's wrong?

What's more, the emperor usually didn't see how good he was to Concubine Yan, but today she suddenly humiliated her like this for Concubine Yan, she couldn't bear it.

Jiang Guiren opened his mouth, and when he was about to say something, the emperor opened his mouth first, "Why don't you go back and change your clothes soon?" ”

At this time, the face of the Jiang nobles was completely gone, and he ran out crying.

After Jiang Guiren left, Concubine Yan was secretly cool, and she accepted it when she saw it, "Since the emperor is busy reviewing the folds, the concubines will not bother, and they will leave first." ”

The emperor said: "Don't you have something to tell me about the second prince?" ”

That's just an excuse for Concubine Yan, now that Jiang Guiren has run away from the emperor, she still bothered to say what are you doing?

She laughed dryly, thinking about how to perfunctory the emperor, but the emperor suddenly changed sharply, "Have you been to Yongshou Palace these days?" ”

Yan Concubine's mind suddenly lit up!

The emperor really still cares about Su Youyi very much.

She smiled and said: "Back to the emperor, the concubine has been there twice, but Sister Zhao has not seen her behind closed doors, and the concubine has not seen her." Not only the concubines, but also Wan Changzai and Chunchang seem to be the same. ”

Regarding this, the emperor has already heard the news, but he still has some undead hearts to ask.

After getting the answer, he hummed softly, lowered his head and continued to review the folds.

Concubine Yan looked at the emperor's resolute and solemn eyebrows, did not speak again, but silently bowed and withdrew from the Qianqing Palace.

Xiao Yizi personally sent her out, with a sullen look.

Seeing this, Concubine Yan said: "This palace remembers that you have always been close to Yongshou Palace, and Sister Zhao is closed to thank you, are you also anxious for her?" ”

Xiao Yizi scratched his head embarrassedly, "The slave is just a slave, he can't help, he is just in a hurry." Zhao Concubine Niangniang doesn't even see you, how can you see the slave. ”

Concubine Yan smiled and pointed to the hall, and said mysteriously: "Don't worry, this situation won't last long." I promise that the emperor and Sister Zhao will be reconciled soon. ”

"Why is that?"

Xiao Yizi looked at her in confusion, and Yan Concubine said proudly: "Don't ask so much, it won't work if you ask too much." Just wait and see! ”

After that, he got on a sedan chair and left the Qianqing Palace.
