Chapter 824: To Keep Him
Cang Rinchen frowned slightly when he looked at the sweets on the table, he lost his appetite when he saw it, and sat down slowly, looking at Concubine Xiang's face full of smiles but unable to speak.
"Your Majesty doesn't like sweets, does you!" At this time, Ling Guiren spoke, frowned, looked at the dishes on the table, and then looked at Concubine Xiang: "How can my sister prepare so many sweets, Your Majesty's least favorite thing to eat is sweets!" ”
Concubine Xiang's face turned pale, what she remembered was that Xia Yinhuan went to the imperial study and instructed the imperial chef to make a table of sweets, and when she sent someone to the imperial study, Cang Linchen did not say that she hated it.
"Concubine...... The concubines don't know, please forgive your majesty. Concubine Xiang replied, she understood at the moment, she was calculated by Xia Yinhuan, and now that she thinks about it, why didn't he say it at that time when he didn't like sweets!
A thought came to mind, that is, at that time, he already knew Xia Yinhuan's true identity, so he was afraid that he would blame Xia Yinhuan so he wouldn't say anything and eat what he didn't like to eat!
Thinking of Xia Yinhuan, her hand hanging down her waist tightly grasped the hem of her skirt, and the Confucian skirt with lotus leaves was wrinkled deeper by her.
Cang Rinchen's face turned cold, sat on the chair and said to Ling Guiren: "You can arrange for someone to go to the imperial study to cook a table of dishes." ”
He didn't want to eat such a meal full of sweets again, and he had no appetite for the sweets at the table, so he had to redo the imperial dining room at this time.
Concubine Xiang's face softened slightly, looking at Guiren Ling telling her maid to go to the imperial dining room, it was not the worst result, she thought that Cang Rinchen would leave Fengle Palace if she didn't like sweets.
"Your Majesty, let's drink some tea first!" Concubine Xiang said that she picked up the kettle on the table and poured a cup of tea for Cang Rinchen herself, and poured a cup for Ling Guiren, and then poured it for herself.
Ling Guiren also sat down slowly, thinking that this time Concubine Xiang choked herself with a gray nose, which must be uncomfortable, but this is none of her business, she just needs to sit here with Cang Linchen.
"Your Majesty, have things been going well recently?" Concubine Xiang found a topic to hide her embarrassment, and at this time, she could only say something else to Cang Rinchen to make herself less embarrassed.
Cang Rinchen picked up the tea cup on the table with a straight face, took a sip, and said lightly: "It's nothing, the things in the court are not what you are worried about." ”
"Yes." Concubine Xiang is just looking for a topic, she doesn't know what to say if she hasn't been with Cang Rinchen for a long time, it seems to be like this every time, but there is no common topic when sitting together, and the atmosphere is stiff.
After being silent for a while, the noble lady provoked the topic and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine went to see the queen today, and the mother's body is much better, and she looks very energetic." ”
"Really?" Cang Linchen said that he hadn't seen Xia Yinhuan for a few days, and it was okay for her not to see her, if he could keep her and the child in his womb, a short period of not seeing each other would not be good, and he sipped his tea lightly and said: "She should be afraid that someone will harm her when she leaves Fengqi Palace, after all, although this palace seems to be calm, it is actually Longtan Tiger's Den." ”
As he said this, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Concubine Xiang, Concubine Xiang met his gaze and quickly lowered her eyes, Xia Yinhuan almost had a miscarriage, she knew what was going on.
The so-called don't do bad things and are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, Cang Linchen just said this, her heart couldn't help jumping, full of emptiness.
"Niangniang is also unsatisfactory in the palace, but I don't know if the murderer behind the musk in the painting scroll has been found." Ling Guiren smiled, but at this time he didn't look at Concubine Xiang.
"No, the maid cut herself." Cang Linchen replied without emotion, although the clue was broken, but his heart was now like a mirror, who wanted to harm Xia Yinhuan and the child in Xia Yinhuan's womb He knew it clearly.
"That's right." Ling Guiren said with some regret: "Isn't that the murderer behind the scenes at large, and I don't know who it is, a little palace lady and the queen mother will definitely not be murdered next time." ”
Concubine Xiang was already holding her skirt tightly at this time, her heart was weak, and she didn't dare to look up at Cang Linchen at all, listening to the conversation between the two seemed to be questioning her in a different direction.
"Who knows!" Cang Rinchen snorted coldly, picked up the tea cup again, but didn't drink it, brought it to his mouth, brought the bowl lid to brush the buds floating on the tea surface, and glanced at Concubine Xiang who lowered her eyebrows, her complexion was obviously not very good-looking.
Concubine Xiang seemed to feel Cang Rinchen's gaze, but when she raised her head, she didn't see Cang Rinchen looking at her, but she happened to meet the gaze of Ling Guiren.
Ling Guiren looked at her and smiled faintly, she also smiled back embarrassedly, and didn't know how to insert it into the conversation between the two of them, and when she turned around, she saw Gong E returning, followed by several eunuchs with food boxes in their hands.
She hurriedly stood up and greeted her, "Why have you been so long, I don't know if Your Majesty hasn't been able to have dinner yet!" ”
Gong E didn't know how she provoked this Xiang concubine, so she had to bow her head and apologize vigorously: "Niang Niang, it's so late, the cook in the imperial dining room has already rested, so it's late." ”
Concubine Xiang just diverted her attention, at this time she took the food box in the palace maid's hand and put it on the table, opened the food box, took out the food in the food box one by one and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the food is here, Your Majesty will see if it is your favorite dish." ”
This time, the dishes are mainly light, without a bit of sweets, and the dishes on the table are all dishes that are my favorite dishes.
Cang Rinchen nodded and said, "It's better this time, I'm tired of you." ”
"It's all what a concubine should do." Although she still had a smile on her face, she was still uneasy, secretly observing Cang Linchen's complexion, but she couldn't see the slightest abnormality.
The dishes were all put on the table, Cang Rinchen picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of his favorite in his mouth and chewed it slowly, frowned slightly, always felt that something was missing, picked up the teapot and finally understood, turned his head and asked the slave beside him, "Go get some wine." ”
Ling'er nodded and left, Cang Lingshen continued to pick up the chopsticks and looked at Concubine Xiang and said, "Since it was not easy to come to your Fengle Palace to eat, how can there be no wine, how about not getting drunk tonight?" ”
Concubine Xiang's lips opened and she wanted to say something, but when she came to her mouth, she swallowed the words and nodded, she couldn't drink Cang Linchen knew it, but today Cang Lingchen finally came to Fengle Palace, and it was okay to drink a little if she wanted to.
Ling Guiren picked up the chopsticks, held a piece of duck wings in his mouth and chewed slowly, eating very regularly, and did not forget to wipe the fat on the corner of his mouth with a silk silk and said: "The cooking skills of this imperial chef are getting better and better!" ”
"You eat more." Cang Rinchen said and picked up the dishes and put them in the bowl in front of Ling Guiren, his movements were gentle, and Concubine Xiang felt a tingle in her eyes when she saw it.
Cang Linchen has never treated her so gently, it is inevitable that she will be a little appreciative, but it can't be anything, after all, it is Ling Guiren who is favored at the moment.
If it weren't for Noble Ling today, she wouldn't even be able to see Cang Rinchen's side, and she would have to thank Noble Ling for bringing Cang Rinchen to Fengle Palace for dinner.
"Your Majesty, the concubine suddenly felt a little uncomfortable." Ling Guiren saw Concubine Xiang's eyes in his eyes, and at this time he stood up with a not very good-looking face and said.
"What's wrong, suddenly unwell?" Cang Linchen asked worriedly, holding Ling Guiren's hand.
"I just feel a little dizzy, probably because I didn't sleep well last night." Ling Guiren raised his hand as he spoke, rubbed his temples and said, "Why don't Your Majesty and my sister have dinner here, and the concubine will go back to Qiongyutai to rest first." ”
Concubine Xiang raised her eyebrows, she could see that Guiren Ling was deliberately leaving, leaving her and Cang Rinchen to live in the world of two, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she felt that she was interesting, and knew that there was much inconvenience for the three of them to eat.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, the concubines are just tired." Seeing that Cang Linchen didn't mean to let him go, Ling Guiren hurriedly said, "The concubine retired first." ”
After that, she slowly broke free of Cang Rinchen, stood aside and said to Cang Rinchen and Concubine Xiang: "The concubine retires." ”
Before she could stay with the dust, she had already walked to the door of the hall, and she didn't look back, and she disappeared after a while.
Concubine Xiang watched Guiren Ling leave with satisfaction, and immediately hurriedly took the wine offered by Ling'er and stepped forward, went around behind Cang Linchen, picked up the wine glass in front of him, poured a glass of sake, and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry about Guiren Ling, maybe she is not feeling well, just rest and rest, don't worry too much." ”
Cang Linchen replied lightly, stopped talking, took a sip of the wine glass, as if he had something on his mind, and didn't speak, just drank the wine.
"Your Majesty seems to have something going on?" Concubine Xiang asked, in fact, she didn't need to ask to make it clear, either she was worried about the noble people, or she was thinking about Xia Yinhuan, and she definitely wouldn't think about her.
Cang Rinchen shook his head, pushed another glass of wine in front of her, and said with a smile on his thin lips, "You can also have a drink with me." ”
Concubine Xiang was stunned, she couldn't drink This is something that Cang Linchen knows, but she still wants her to drink, but since Cang Linchen has said it, she has no reason to refuse.
Picking up the wine glass, his slender fingers were like the jade cup, and he put it under his lips, covered it with the wide sleeves, and took a sip.
Suddenly, her brows furrowed, and the spicy smell of wine made her uncomfortable, stimulating her taste buds uncomfortably.
Seeing her like this, Cang Linchen laughed: "You still can't drink, you can't drink such a good thing as wine, it's a pity, if you can drink with me at this time, it can be regarded as a worldly enjoyment." ”
Concubine Xiang heard him say this, her little face flushed, and she couldn't care about anything else at this time, so she raised her head and drank all the wine in the cup.
Since Cang Rinchen wants her to accompany her to drink, why don't she give up her life to accompany the gentleman, even if she is drunk like mud, as long as Cang Rinchen likes it, she is willing to do anything.
"Good!" Watching her put a glass of sake down her stomach, she raised her hand and wiped the wine stains from the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief, her eyebrows and eyes finally relaxed, and she could see joy on her face.
Although the throat was as if it was burned by fire, it hurt hotly, but looking at the joy of Cang Rinchen, the pain seemed to be insignificant.
"Your Majesty, drink another drink." Concubine Xiang is out of the way, Cang Rinchen finally went to Fengle Palace, she wants Cang Rinchen to be happy no matter what, and stay in Fengle Palace.
As she spoke, she picked up the wine jug and poured a full glass of wine for Cang Linchen, and filled her own, picked it up and said: "This cup of wine, the concubine wishes Your Majesty that you will never have to worry about anything, that the people of Yasukuni will be safe, and that you will live and work in peace and contentment at dawn." ”
After that, she drank all a glass of wine, and so on one after another, and drank a few glasses of wine, Ling'er looked at it a little unbearable, she knew that Concubine Xiang cared about Cang Linchen, but she didn't take her body seriously, how could she stand it like this.
Ling'er had no choice but to pull the hem of her sleeve, so she couldn't ask Concubine Xiang not to drink anymore in front of Cang Linchen. Concubine Xiang, who was torn off her sleeves, was still clear in her thoughts, knowing what Ling'er meant, but she unknowingly shook off Ling'er's hand.
