Chapter 22: Falling out of favor

Concubine Li was sick, Emperor Xuanwu naturally wanted to care, and for five days, he rested in Concubine Li's palace.

is so favored, it can really be said that he is the first person in the harem.

The rewards of the Internal Affairs Office were like flowing water, and they kept pouring into Changxin Palace, and many people were waiting to see the jokes of Hexi Palace.

After all, since Jiang Xinyue entered the palace, she has thinned out half of Concubine Li's favor, and the concubines in the harem are all looking forward to the two of them pulling each other's heads!

Even the queen and Concubine Liang hinted several times to ask her to do something to pull Emperor Xuanwu's heart back.

Jiang Xinyue just didn't understand, and every day with Magpie, Frostfall, and Jiang Chuan, a few palace maids and eunuchs, they studied delicious food in Hexi Palace behind closed doors.

The two young imperial chefs in the imperial dining room had already learned the trick of barbecue, and I heard that Emperor Xuanwu had also entered the Changxin Palace and roasted the meat separately for the emperor and Concubine Li.

The Dog Emperor is really good at taking her results as favors.

This made the chefs jealous.

The old chefs who were disdainful of it all came to ask for advice on how to barbecue with old faces.

Everyone felt that it was Concubine Li who didn't take Zhen Ji Niangniang in her eyes, so she didn't compete for favor, but now she realized the threat of Zhen Ji Niangniang, and made Hexi Palace fall out of favor as soon as she made a move.

The hottest summer has passed, and autumn is in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Xinyue, with her good cooking skills that she didn't have in this era, not only did she not live a hard life as other ladies in the palace thought, but she was also mellow.

No way, in the recent autumn, she stewed a lot of Cantonese soup that nourished and moisturized her lungs in the imperial dining room, and she drank it so that her face was ruddy and radiant.

Even Empress Zhu, Concubine Liang, and Concubine De were sent to the palace, not to mention, they all felt that their bodies had changed for the better this autumn.

Since the eldest princess, the second princess, and the third prince ate barbecue in Hexi Palace, they have to come to Zhenji Niangniang every once in a while to play the autumn breeze, and they are willing to go back only when they have a round belly.

It's been half a month, and the emperor hasn't even gone to Hexi Palace.

Because Concubine Li was sick, the doctor said that she was sick and needed to recuperate, and she couldn't be stimulated, otherwise her body would collapse, and she would be very difficult to conceive in the future.

Chengqian Palaceβ€”β€”

The atmosphere of the whole hall is very low, Emperor Xuanwu has not been in a very good temper recently, and the palace people who are waiting for him are trembling, and they dare not make any mistakes.

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

Wang Dequan's heart was raised: "Zhen Ji Niangniang went to Yikun Palace again." ”

Beef soup with radish and tangerine peel......

"Smack!"

The wolf pen in Emperor Xuanwu's hand was broken alive, and the ink splashed his hand, but he didn't care about pulling the rice paper and wiping his hands, and said expressionlessly: "I know, retreat!" ”

Zhenji stewed the tonic soup for half a month, and she didn't send it to Chengqian Palace once, even if the distance between the two palaces was so close.

Emperor Xuanwu's heart was panicked, sour.

Concubine Li and Jiang Zhaoyi, and even Concubine De and Concubine Liang have come to send them several times.

When Emperor Xuanwu went to Changxin Palace yesterday, he saw Jiang Xinyue at the door of Hexi Palace, and she hadn't seen her for half a month, and she became more and more beautiful.

The body is plump, round and jade, and her white and glowing skin makes her charming, but with a bit of girlish coquettishness.

In short, in a word, without the emperor's favor, her life is extremely chic and comfortable.

Jiang Xinyue, who had been wandering for half a month, came back from Yikun Palace, passed by Chengqian Palace, and finally found out with a conscience and wanted to go in to see the emperor.

When I walked to the bottom of the steps of Chengqian Palace, I met the oncoming Concubine Li.

"The concubine greets the concubine."

Concubine Li didn't even look at her, lowered her head and took the food box in Layue's hand, and directly asked the little eunuch to go in and report, and soon ...... Wang Dequan came out and invited Concubine Li in.

Concubine Li's body got out of the way, and Wang Dequan saw Zhenji Niangniang standing at the bottom of the steps, smiling.

His eyes widened, and he wanted to open his mouth to explain a few words to the emperor, but he saw Zhenji Niangniang wave his hand and ran away with the two girls, Magpie and Frostfall.

Wrong!

Why does he think that the emperor and Concubine Li are sorry for Zhen Ji Niangniang when they meet?

What a hell of a thing.

While closing the door of Chengqian Palace, he looked at Jiang Xinyue's back, thinking: Probably because the emperor showed special concern for Zhenji, he also fell in love!

"The emperor tasted this pork belly soup, which was made by the concubine in the small kitchen of Changxin Palace."

Emperor Xuanwu, who doesn't like to eat offal, took a few sips of face, and when he caught a glimpse of Wang Dequan's constipation-like expression, he said to Concubine Li: "I am busy with government affairs today, and Concubine Ai's body is just right, so I should go back to Changxin Palace to rest first, Wang Dequan, use my dragon chariot to send the concubine back." ”

Concubine Li didn't want to leave, but the emperor said that she would send her with a dragon chariot, which made her really refuse: "Although the state affairs are important, the emperor must also take care of the dragon body, and the concubines will not bother." ”

That's a dragon!

The queen has never sat on the dragon chariot, and she will be the first concubine to sit on it.

Such an honor will make others crazy with jealousy.

Let the one in Hexi Palace see who is the emperor's favorite woman.

Seeing off Concubine Li, Wang Dequan hurriedly ran back: "Your Majesty, when Concubine Niangniang came, Zhenji Niangniang was also outside, she should have come to see Your Majesty." ”

"Crunchβ€”"

"What did you say?"

The chair under the buttocks was knocked open, making a screeching sound, and Emperor Xuanwu took a few steps and stopped: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"The slave only saw it when he went out, and asked the little eunuch on duty at the door, saying that Zhen Ji Niangniang came first."

"Zhen Ji came first, why did she report it to Concubine Li?"

Emperor Xuanwu frowned: "Today, the people on duty at the gate have been changed, and I don't have to break the rules." ”

It's to blame them for looking down on Jane Ji Niangniang, so don't report her!

Jiang Xinyue's status has invisibly improved by another level in Wang Dequan's heart.

Jiang Xinyue, who returned to Hexi Palace, said to Shuang Zhen: "This palace wants to eat lotus seed and pork belly soup for dinner today, you go to the imperial dining room to inform you." ”

Frostfall received his command, and when the hour came, he went, but he did not return.

The autumn wind is bleak, and in the backyard of Hexi Palace, the vegetables and fruits have already borne fruit, green and shiny, and they taste good when you look at them.

The lantern at the door was blown by the wind, and the magpie knelt at her feet with a stew cup: "Niangniang don't cry anymore, there is no pork belly soup, we also have gastrodia pigeon soup, the same delicious." ”

"Am I crying pork belly soup?"

Jiang Xinyue's voice choked: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have deliberately provoked the concubine Niangniang in order to fall out of favor, but now I have to be beaten by Layue if you follow me, I'm too useless." ”

"The slave doesn't hurt."

A grinning gasp sounded, and Jiang Xinyue's tears flowed even more fiercely: "Don't be afraid of the frost, I will definitely not leave a scar on your face." ”

Emperor Xuanwu pushed open the door......
