Chapter 13: Confrontation

In this life, Liu Ruoxin will naturally not follow the old path of the previous life, and if she wants to achieve her goals, she can only change herself.

Just as Liu Ruoxin was sitting in the hall thinking about what to do next, Chen Pingting's figure appeared outside the hall.

A bright red gorgeous dress with gold wire sewn patterns on the cuffs, elegant and gorgeous. In Liu Ruoxin's eyes, the dress is made of blood, no matter how you look at it, you can't disgust it.

A hint of gloom flashed in Liu Ruoxin's eyes, why, it's only been two months, can't you help it so soon? Liu Ruoxin sneered in her heart, quickly disappeared, and got up to greet her with a smile on her face.

"Sister Concubine Chen, what wind blew you here today, my sister was unwell during this time, and she didn't come to visit, and I hope my sister will not be blamed."

When Chen Pingting heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but after all, she had been in the palace for a long time, and her adaptability was very good, so she saw the corners of her mouth rising slightly, chuckling and holding Liu Ruoxin's hands, naturally covering her face movements just now, so that people could not see the slightest flaw.

"My sister is really joking, I originally wanted to visit my sister a few days ago, but there were too many people who visited my sister, so it dragged on until today, so my sister should not be angry."

"This is a hometown specialty sent by my father a few days ago, and I specially brought it to my sister to taste today, and by the way, I congratulated my sister on being named Concubine Liu by the emperor."

Chen Pingting said, and opened the food box held by the palace maid on the side, revealing the delicate pastries inside.

Huh, specialty? I'm afraid it's not poison, right?

"My sister really has a heart, come, I haven't seen you for many days, let's sit down and talk"

said, without waiting for Chen Pingting to say, Liu Ruoxin pulled Chen Pingting to sit down. Late Autumn on the side took the food box and put it aside.

Chen Pingting didn't say anything when she saw this, but asked: "I see that my sister has a ruddy complexion, and my sister must have recovered well recently." ”

"Well, the tonic specially sent by the queen mother, the effect is very good, I have a lot of them here, my sister will also take some to try later."

"Since the queen mother specially sent it to her sister to replenish her body, how can her sister take it, besides, the emperor also gave her sister some before, and she hasn't finished eating it yet."

Although the two talked daily, the confrontation between words was already obvious, and Liu Ruoxin's heart moved, and the topic changed.

"Recently, I've been recuperating in the dormitory, and it's boring, I don't know if my sister has a way to entertain me?"

"My sister is just reading the Four Books and Five Classics and listening to the tunes, if my sister doesn't dislike it, how about going to my sunny palace to listen to the music?" Chen Pingting thought about it and spoke.

Liu Ruoxin nodded when she heard this: "In this case, I will go to disturb my sister another day."

"Where, my sister is coming, how can I say bother, it's too late for my sister to be happy."

Chen Pingting's face was full of smiles, and she couldn't see the slightest falsehood. Liu Ruoxin sneered in her heart, if she didn't know your true face, I am afraid that I would be deceived by you at this moment.

"The Emperor has arrived"

Just when the two of them were falsely accusing each other, the voice of the eunuch suddenly sounded at the door of the Green Shade Palace, and the two were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other and smiled.

"Let's go, sister, go and greet the emperor."

The two got up to greet Nalan Zhi, and as soon as they came to the outside of the main hall, they saw Nalan Zhi stepping into the gate of the Green Shade Palace.

Both of them made a blessing to Nalan Zhi

"The concubine has seen the emperor"

"Concubines see the emperor"

The palace maids in the back naturally followed suit.

"Excuse me"

When Nalan Zhi saw that Chen Pingting was also here, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he walked into the main hall and sat on the main seat.

"Why did Concubine Chen come to the Green Shade Palace today, you are so happy, I wonder if I can hear it?"

"The emperor naturally listens"

"Sister Concubine Liu was injured a few days ago to save the emperor, and the concubine was afraid that she would disturb Sister Liu's rest a few days ago, so she came to visit today."

Chen Pingting smiled.

Nalan nodded and turned his head to see the food box placed aside.

"Oh? What's in it? ”

Chen Pingting stepped forward and opened the food box.

"This is a special product of the concubine's hometown, a few days ago, my father specially brought it to me from my hometown, and today I will bring it to Sister Liu to taste."

"Since it is a special product of Concubine Chen's parents, then I will also try it."

Chen Pingting smiled slightly, took out the pastries in the food box, and put them on the table next to Nalan Zhi.

"Your Majesty, please use it, although this pastry is not as good as the palace food, it is a hometown specialty, and it is also a unique flavor."

Liu Ruoxin glanced at Chen Pingting quietly, could it be that she was thinking too much, this pastry is non-toxic? When did Chen Pingting become so kind?

In her previous life, she ended up like this, and most of the reason was because of this woman, she would never be so kind.

Since he dares to give Nalan Zhi to eat, it means that there is no problem with the pastry itself, after all, Nalan Zhi is the king of a country, if he makes any mistakes, the whole country will face annihilation, and Chen Pingting can't afford this crime.

Nalan Zhi took a pastry, put it in his mouth, and savored it.

"It's true that compared with the pastries in the palace, it has a less delicate texture, but the taste is still very good."

"If the emperor likes it, the concubine will ask her father to send more for the emperor to enjoy."

Chen Pingting was overjoyed when she heard this.

"No need, just take this pastry recipe and hand it over to the palace chef."

"Yes, the concubine obeys"

"Don't stand still, let's taste together."

Nalan Zhi gestured to the seat next to him.

Liu Ruoxin and Chen Pingting naturally did not resist the order, and after sitting down, they also began to taste it carefully.

After Liu Ruoxin ate one, he found that the taste was indeed delicious, sweet but not greasy, fragrant but not glutinous.

Before you know it, the pastries in the box are gone.

"Tomorrow, the concubine will ask her father to send the recipe, presumably through the hands of the imperial chef, it will be more delicious."

Chen Pingting saw that Nalan Zhi was a little unsatisfied, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Although he didn't want the emperor to be here with Liu Ruoxin at the moment, he had no choice but to find an excuse to salute Nalan and leave.

Liu Ruoxin looked at Nalan Zhi, who was drinking tea, and knew it in her heart, but she still pretended to be unknown on the surface

"The emperor has been busy with affairs recently, I don't know what happened to the concubines today?"

"Naturally, let's see how my beloved concubine is recovering."

Nalan Zhi pulled Liu Ruoxin over and held him in his arms, with just the right curvature at the corners of his mouth. As for those palace maids and eunuchs, they have long been dismissed.

"Thank you for the emperor's concern, the concubines are fine"

Liu Ruoxin was first stunned by Nalan Zhi's sudden move, and then looked at Nalan Zhi with a smile.

"No, I'm here to treat you personally"

In Liu Ruoxin's exclamation, Nalan Zhi picked up Liu Ruoxin and walked towards the bedroom......
