Recently, the emperor has been going to the Splendid Palace very frequently. Today, Xiang Guiren wants to accompany the emperor to play chess, Ming'er Zhao Guiren wants to dance a sword to the emperor, and the concubine Niangniang feels sorry for the emperor's body and stews soup. In short, the three women in this splendid palace are full of tricks and show their magical powers. The two nobles also tried their best to win over the women with status in the palace, and even the emperor's side Shi Gonggong and Zhang Nushi could not escape.

"Your Majesty, long live the lord, you should think of a way, this slave is about to dare not go out!" Shi Gonggong said with a sad face.

"You're not happy to have someone give you a gift!" The emperor chuckled, obviously in a good mood.

"Your Majesty, you don't know! How can this gift be sent by blocking people's doors? ”

"Is it possible that you dare to accept it if you send it in private?" The emperor glanced at Shi Gong's justice.

"Your Majesty, it's not that you don't know, slaves usually receive some New Year's gifts and birthday gifts, and they don't accept all the valuables."

"Everyone else has accepted it, why don't the two nobles accept it, you don't give face to my new favorite!" The emperor smiled meaningfully.

"Oh, Your Majesty! How dare a minion! Isn't this delivered to the door, inappropriate! Shi Gonggong was sweating profusely.

"You will take it if you give it to you, I didn't say anything, what are you afraid of? Tell your disciples and grandchildren about how much better you serve! "The emperor is a little impatient.

Seeing that the emperor didn't want to say more, Gonggong Shi said, "The slave understands!" "Hehe, it's stupid not to accept a baby? This time, he got the emperor's approval, and he took it with confidence.

On this day, Lin Ruhai was listening to the emperor talk about the grain collection after the autumn harvest in the imperial study, and the little eunuch outside came to report: Xiang Guiren has sent medicinal food to the emperor.

Disdain flashed in the emperor's eyes, and after being silent for a long time, he had an idea in his heart, so he said, "Let her in." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen will retire first!" Lin Ruhai immediately asked for recusal.

The emperor looked at him and smiled and nodded, "You go and get busy first, and I'll tell you later." ”

"Yes, Weichen retires!" Lin Ruhai saluted and withdrew.

As soon as he walked out of the door of the imperial study, he met a beautiful young woman in palace costume, who must be a nobleman. Lin Ruhai hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, and then left wordlessly without squinting. Xiang Xiaoqin waited until Lin Ruhai walked for a while before she came back to her senses under the reminder of the little eunuch, she smiled and nodded to the little eunuch, and asked as if unintentionally, "Who was that adult just now?" ”

"Do you mean that young and handsome boy? He is the current science and technology exploration flower, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, Lord Lin, he is a celebrity around the emperor! The little eunuch smiled and said, "Your Excellency, please come in, the emperor is waiting for you inside." ”

Xiang Xiaoqin didn't expect that this was Jia Min's husband Lin Ruhai, and when she thought of the piano and flute ensemble of the two in Li Fuzhong that day, Xiang Xiaoqin was unwilling: Why is such a handsome Tanhualang not her Xiang Xiaoqin's husband. Why would she commit herself to an old man older than her father?

Xiang Xiaoqin settled down and appeared in front of the emperor with the smile that he thought was the most beautiful.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" After Xiang Xiaoqin saluted the emperor, she was found by the emperor.

"Why did Qin'er come over at this time?" The emperor asked while holding Xiang Xiaoqin's hand.

Xiang Xiaoqin smiled gently, "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and the concubines are very distressed, so they deliberately got up early in the morning to pick chrysanthemums with dew, and personally cooked chrysanthemum and lily porridge. As he spoke, he took out the boiled porridge from the food box.

Gonggong Shi stepped forward and took out a silver needle from his sleeve, put it in the bowl and tried it, the silver needle did not turn black, and then he gave it to the emperor with both hands.

The emperor smelled the bowl, "Hmm! Yes, it smells of chrysanthemums. ”

"Your Majesty, taste it, it tastes sweeter than it smells!" Xiang Xiaoqin said with a smile.

The emperor took the spoon and ate it, and nodded with a smile while eating, indicating that it tasted good. The amount of porridge in a bowl is not large, and the emperor is a little unsatisfied, "Your porridge is really good, but it is too little, I haven't eaten enough!" ”

Xiang Xiaoqin said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, the concubine sent this porridge for you to use as a snack to cushion your stomach, how can it be used as a meal?" ”

The emperor laughed and hugged Xiang Xiaoqin in his arms, "Okay, well, since it's not a main meal, then let's go to Qin'er for dinner." With a joke in her tone, Xiang Xiaoqin shyly buried her head in the emperor's arms.

Returning to his small courtyard in the Splendid Palace from the imperial study, Xiang Xiaoqin said to Xiuyun beside him: "You go to investigate the matter of Lin Tanhua." ”

Xiuyun is Zhen Yingjia's maid to Xiang Xiaoqin, and she entered the palace with Xiang Xiaoqin, and some of the connections that Zhen Yingjia gave Xiang Xiaoqin were all contacted by Xiuyun.

"Why did you want to find out about him? Lin Ruhai will never be on our side, he is highly valued by the emperor, and he is upright, many people have tried to win him over and even calculated that he has not succeeded. ”

"That's someone else, not me. You just have to look it up, the more detailed the better, I have a way to make him my person. The obsession in Xiang Xiaoqin's eyes did not hide from the shrewd Xiuyun, she wanted to remind Xiang Xiaoqin, but after thinking about it: it doesn't hurt to let her try, failure just kills her arrogance, let her not be too self-righteous in the future; If it succeeds, that's a good thing.

As soon as Xiang Xiaoqin's porridge was sent out, Wang Guifei, the head of the first palace of the Splendid Palace, knew about it. "It's really worthy of being from Jiangnan, this fox's ability to charm the lord is quite powerful!"

"Why should Niangniang be like her, a little nobleman, Niangniang doesn't like it, and she doesn't let Niangniang go away?" Wu Mo beside Wang Guifei said flatteringly.

Although Concubine Wang Guifei is not very flattering to the lord, what she said is very good. "This palace doesn't dare to provoke her, people are now full of saints!"

"No matter how favored she is, she can't go beyond Niangniang, who has almost been a pet over the years. In the emperor's heart, the most concerned is the mother. The emperor is just greedy for a momentary freshness. ”

"The relationship between the palace and the emperor is not comparable to anyone!" Wang Guifei smiled confidently, and there were faint traces at the corners of her eyes, not only did she not look old, but she added a bit of mature charm. Wu Mo followed up and said a lot of good and obedient words, so that Wang Guifei dissipated the sourness caused by Xiang Xiaoqin's porridge.

Here, after Lin Ruhai went home at night, he also told Jia Min about Xiang Xiaoqin's actions. "The emperor never let the concubines come to the front imperial study before, but today I don't know why I will be allowed to do it, is it really too fond of Xiang Xiaoqin?"

"The emperor's favor is not necessarily a good thing, Xiang Xiaoqin must have made a lot of enemies in the palace now."

Lin Ruhai didn't understand the dispute between the harem and the backhouse, and he understood it after Jia Min's broadcast. "I can watch a big drama by the emperor's side in the future"

"If the emperor knows what you think, he will probably beat you thirty times angrily!" Jia Min said angrily.

"No, it is estimated that the emperor will punish me for copying 10,000 books!" The husband and wife jokingly went for a walk in the garden.
