The emperor has no intention of doing government affairs at all, not to mention that there is Concubine Li chattering beside her.

When the emperor couldn't bear it anymore, he finally said to Concubine Li, "I have government affairs to deal with now, Concubine Li, go back first!" ”

Concubine Li was stunned for a moment, and then looked aggrieved, "Is the emperor annoyed by the concubines?" ”

The emperor tried his best to make his words more tactful, "When I deal with government affairs, I need a quiet environment, and if you are pregnant, you should not be tired. ”

Concubine Li is not stupid, if she makes the emperor more clear, it will be even more embarrassing.

Concubine Li could only salute the emperor obediently, "Yes, the concubine has retired." ”

After Concubine Li left, the emperor still couldn't settle down. I always think about the scene of Concubine Shu admiring the flowers in the imperial garden.

The emperor quickly stood up and strode out.

Manager Yin hurriedly followed, "Your Majesty, where are you going?" ”

"Go to Concubine Shu and see if there are any delicious pastries."

"Oh, by the way, you go to the Imperial Dining Room again. Let the imperial dining room make some pastries and send them to the concubine. ”

"Yes." Manager Yin responded, but told Manager Wang to go to the imperial dining room. And he himself followed the emperor to Concubine Shu.

"The emperor is here again?" Concubine Shu was also shocked.

Yurun reminded, "Niangniang, the emperor is here, you hurry up and prepare to greet it!" ”

Only then did the lady put down the chrysanthemum cake in her hand and stood up slowly.

As soon as Concubine Shu stood up, the emperor had already come in.

"Concubine" Concubine Shu saluted, and before the words "see the emperor" were spoken, the emperor hurriedly said, "Excuse me!" ”

Then the emperor looked at the pastries on the table and asked with a smile, "What kind of pastry is this?" It looks pretty good! ”

Concubine Shu explained, "Today in the Imperial Garden, I think the chrysanthemums in the Imperial Garden are very good. So I asked Yurun to pick some and make chrysanthemum cakes. ”

"Chrysanthemum cake?" The emperor raised his eyebrows.

Then he laughed, "The flowers in this imperial garden are all for people to see." Like Concubine Shu, looking at the flowers are good, it is really rare to make pastries? ”

Concubine Shu also laughed, "Let the emperor laugh." ”

"The concubine thinks that there are so many flowers in this imperial garden, and there is no shortage of these concubines. And the flowers are lost, they can only be turned into spring mud, so why not serve them as a meal on the plate of the concubine? ”

"Yes." The emperor couldn't help laughing, "Concubine Shu is really unique?" ”

"I'll try it too, how does this pastry taste."

As the emperor said this, he picked up the pastry and ate it, and then commented, "This pastry, which melts in the mouth, has the fragrance of chrysanthemums, which is not bad." ”

"The emperor likes it, so let's eat a few more pieces!" Concubine Shu gave in.

In fact, I didn't want the emperor to eat it anymore, after all, Yurun only made a small dish of chrysanthemum cake. She hasn't eaten it yet?

The emperor also seemed to see the careful thinking in Concubine Shu's heart, so he deliberately picked up a piece of chrysanthemum cake and ate it.

Concubine Shu watched the emperor eat the chrysanthemum cake almost without blinking.

Then the face fell.

However, at this time, Manager Wang had already brought the people from the imperial dining room over.

Chief Wang replied to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the people in the imperial dining room have already sent the pastries. ”

"Yes, bring it up!" The emperor commanded.

The people in the imperial dining room quickly put all kinds of pastries on the table. Concubine Shu looked at those dazzling pastries, and her heart was very happy.

Under the emperor's order, "Taste it, but it's delicious." After that, I immediately started moving.

Concubine Shu ate the sweet and sour hawthorn cake, and looked at the yam cake that melted in her mouth. After eating the yam cake, I picked up another piece of osmanthus cake.

The emperor looked at Concubine Shu's greedy appearance like this. I saw Concubine Shu eat all the pastries. Then he drank a cup of tea and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

Concubine Shu had already guessed that the emperor would look at her in shock. Sure enough, when Concubine Shu quietly looked up at the emperor, the emperor was looking at her with a smile.

Concubine Shu was a little embarrassed, "Why does the emperor look at me like this?" ”

"It's nothing, since Concubine Shu likes to eat pastries, then I will let the imperial dining room make pastries every day and bring them to you."

The emperor said with a look of affection.

"Concubine, thank you to the emperor." Concubine Shu was very happy.

"Your Majesty, it's already evening, the concubine has just eaten pastries, and she doesn't plan to have dinner, does the emperor want to change places for dinner?"

Isn't this a clear attempt to drive the emperor away?

Mr. Yin's lips twitched, and he didn't dare to say his shocked surprise.

In the entire palace, the only one who dares to talk to the emperor like this is Concubine Shu.

The emperor was not angry, and he didn't plan to stay longer, so he said, "I am planning to go to the queen and see the second prince." ”

The emperor stood up, and the concubine immediately saluted and said, "The concubine respectfully sends the emperor." ”

The emperor did go to the queen, and the emperor did like the second prince.

When the queen saw the emperor coming, she was very happy, and hurriedly instructed the palace maids around her to let the nurse take the second prince out for the emperor to see.

The emperor personally hugged the second prince, and the queen mother ordered someone to set up dinner.

The second prince is well-behaved, but his body is weaker, although he was only born a few days later than the eldest prince of Dingfei, it looks as if he is a few months younger than the eldest prince.

And if the second prince was not born prematurely, he would indeed be a few months younger than the eldest prince.

Because the emperor has high hopes for the second prince, the sister-in-law, and the second prince is indeed thin. So the emperor was very distressed.

"How does the nurse take care of it, why are these two princes so thin?"

The emperor asked, and the nurse was immediately afraid, "The emperor forgives the sin, the slaves and maids are dutiful, but the second prince is too young to eat too much milk!" ”

The queen mother also said good things on the side, "Your Majesty, don't blame the nurse." Don't blame them, after all, the second prince was born more than two months prematurely? ”

"The second prince is weak and needs to be taken care of, and the queen is afraid that she will have to worry more."

The emperor said such gentle and considerate words, and the queen couldn't help but have red eyes.

"Yes, the concubine will definitely take good care of the second prince. As long as the second prince is good, the concubines would rather die in exchange for the healthy growth of the second prince. ”

"What did the queen say? The second prince is my son, and he inherits my blessings, and the second prince will definitely grow up safely and healthily. ”

The emperor's words made the queen's eyes widen in shock and joy.

What does the emperor mean that the second prince will inherit the throne in the future?

"Your Majesty...", the queen mother was already speechless with excitement.

The emperor smiled slightly and said, "Don't think about it so much first, it's a serious matter to take care of the second prince." ”

"Yes, the concubine will definitely take care of the second prince wholeheartedly."

At this time, the imperial dining room had already put the food on the table, and the emperor said, "Let's eat first!" ”

During the meal, the emperor suddenly thought that when he was in the palace of the concubine, the virtuous concubine and the little princess were also there. He also took those salty dishes for the little princess to eat, which made Concubine Xian lose her temper.

So the emperor laughed and asked, "The second prince usually eats salty things?" ”

The queen mother smiled, "Where do you dare to let the second prince eat something with a salty taste, even the nurse's meals are very salty." I'm afraid that the second prince won't be used to it? ”

Only then did the emperor know that not only could children not eat salt, but even nurses could not eat salt.

When the emperor and the queen were having dinner, the second prince cried.

The queen mother hurriedly ordered, "The second prince is hungry, hurry up and hug it and feed it!" ”

The nurse also hurriedly responded and went down with the second prince in her arms.

In the eyes of the nurse, as the emperor, she can't hear the cry of the child. The child's cry, let alone the emperor, even she is annoying after listening to it for a long time.

During the meal, the queen mother suddenly said cautiously, "I heard that the queen mother has been in poor health recently, and for a few days, she asked the imperial dining room for ginseng and black chicken soup to replenish her body, but the emperor has heard about it?" ”

Sure enough, the emperor's face darkened, "The Queen Mother is sick?" When is the thing? Why haven't I heard of it? ”

"Oh!" The queen mother laughed dryly, "The concubine also heard that the imperial dining room did not prepare enough ginseng black chicken soup because of it, and after the queen mother took a cup of ginseng black chicken soup, Concubine Li and Concubine Shu only had a cup of ginseng black chicken soup." The imperial dining room gave ginseng black chicken soup to Concubine Shu, and Concubine Li got angry and reprimanded the people in the imperial dining room. ”

"And this one?" The emperor said again.

"Yes! This Concubine Li and Concubine Shu have always been unpleasant together. After this incident, the concubines paid attention? I'm afraid that this Concubine Li and Concubine Shu, if one of them is impulsive, it will not be good if they accidentally hurt each other. After all, they are all pregnant people. ”

When the queen mother said this, she laughed dryly twice, "The time when the queen mother asked her to go to the imperial dining room to ask for ginseng and black chicken soup is also a coincidence." It just so happened that Concubine Li and Concubine Shu's people were all waiting there for the ginseng black chicken soup to come out of the pot. ”

"Originally, this ginseng black chicken soup was served by Concubine Li and Concubine Shu, one cup per person, but since the Queen Mother opened her mouth to ask for it, the people in the imperial dining room naturally wanted to be close to the Queen Mother."

When the queen mother said this, she quietly raised her eyes to look at the emperor.

The emperor was expressionless and looked very serious.

But he lost his appetite, "After I have eaten, I will go back to deal with government affairs first." ”

"Yes, the concubine sends the emperor."

"Oh, yes." The emperor turned his head again and instructed the queen, "As the head of one palace after a country, you should take on the responsibility of managing the six palaces. Even if the second prince needs to be taken care of, don't forget the burden on your body. ”

"Although Concubine Liang is steady, there are some things that are still difficult to come forward. For example, on the Queen Mother's side, although I value filial piety, there are also rules in the palace. ”

"As the queen, you must always keep the palace rules in mind and grasp them in your hands."

The emperor's words are already serious. The queen also understood what the emperor meant.

immediately said, "Yes, the concubine understands." The concubines will definitely take on the responsibility of managing the six palaces. Strictly enforce the rules of the palace. ”

"Yes." The emperor replied in a serious tone, and then strode away.
