With one phrase "auspicious features for bearing sons," Shen Lingshu was bestowed to Prince Lin and became a lowly concubine.
Her legitimate elder sister Shen Lingyi, who married high...
Chapter 128 How can you concentrate on serving me?
At dinner time, Shen Lingshu was ordering people to prepare hot pot. When she saw the inky figure at the gate of the courtyard, she stood up in surprise: "Prince, why are you here?"
"Why, you're not welcome?"
Chu Cong raised his eyebrows and walked into the house. He looked at the special-looking pot in the middle of the table. The fragrant and spicy taste made his taste buds seem to be awakened.
"I am so happy that Your Majesty can come."
Shen Lingshu pulled Chu Cong to sit down and said, "I'm just worried that Aunt Li is not feeling well, and the prince needs to go visit her."
"I'm not a doctor, am I?"
Chu Cong looked at the special pot, which was still steaming, and asked, "What is this?"
"hot pot."
Shen Lingshu didn't mention Li anymore. She introduced enthusiastically: "The weather is getting cold, and I specially asked someone to make this. It warms my whole body after eating it."
"Especially these fish balls and meatballs, I specially asked the kitchen to make them."
"These are lamb and beef rolls. They're frozen and then sliced into thin slices. Your Highness, would you like to try some first?"
As Shen Lingshu introduced the dishes, she rolled up a mutton roll, dipped it in her special dipping sauce, and said, "This is a mutton roll. It's not smelly at all and is very delicious."
Her eyes were sparkling, as bright as stars. Chu Cong, who never ate food picked by others, looked at the fragrant mutton roll in front of him, opened his mouth and took a bite of it.
He savored the thin mutton rolls carefully. They had no smell of mutton at all, and paired with the dipping sauce, they were very delicious.
"How about it?"
Shen Lingshu looked at him expectantly.
Chu Cong nodded slightly: "Not bad."
"Eating this hot pot makes me feel warm all over." Shen Lingshu's favorite mutton rolls and beef rolls, she doesn't have to worry about the price and safety issues, she can show off without worrying about it.
The most important thing is that she doesn’t have to clean up.
"Zhu Xin, Liu Si, you all go and eat. There's no need to serve in the room." Shen Lingshu greeted them and said, "If the nurse wants to eat, she can have some clear soup."
Zhu Xin looked at Chu Cong, bowed, closed the door and went out.
Only Chu Cong and Shen Lingshu were left in the room.
"Your Highness, please try the clear soup. It restores the original flavor of the ingredients and is also delicious." Shen Lingshu was worried that Chu Cong could not eat spicy food, so she enthusiastically recommended the clear soup.
"good."
Chu Cong looked at her rosy lips. There was no servants serving them, just dinner for the two of them.
"Your Highness, I heard that there are a lot of delicious shrimps and crabs on the seaside. Unfortunately, we don't live by the sea."
"There are many fish in the river that I have never eaten."
“…”
When Shen Lingshu talked about the delicacies in the sea, she was very greedy. Her favorite was seafood. Unfortunately, after arriving in Mu Ning Country, she could only eat some crabs, river shrimps and other seafood.
"Shrimps and crabs on the beach?" Chu Cong raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, I heard from others that it's delicious." Shen Lingshu didn't dare to say what she ate.
"In the future, have someone bring some to you." Chu Cong said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shen Lingshu didn't take it seriously, and changed the subject, starting to talk about some small family matters. The sky gradually darkened, and your hot pot was bubbling and full of fragrance.
Shen Lingshu's eating style is not elegant, but there is an indescribable beauty in it, which makes people feel that the food in front of her is particularly sweet.
This dinner, Chu Cong unknowingly ate too much. He touched his full stomach and looked at the satisfied Shen Lingshu beside him. His lips curled up slightly. This seemed pretty good.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say." After Shen Lingshu had eaten and drunk her fill, she took out the key to the pair.
Chu Cong looked at the pair of card keys, his eyes flashing slightly. The punishment on Concubine Fang was enough, and the power of housekeeper should indeed be returned.
Shen Lingshu said: "The concubine is now well and the wound on her forehead has healed. I think the power of the housekeeper should be in the concubine's hands. It is justified."
"Ling Shu."
As soon as Chu Cong opened his mouth, Shen Lingshu smiled and squeezed next to Chu Cong, saying, "Your Majesty, since I became the housekeeper, I have no time to accompany An An and Bei Bei."
"Your Highness, I just want to spend time with An'an and Beibei and serve you wholeheartedly." Shen Lingshu raised her eyes, her eyes full of sincerity, without a trace of reluctance.
"Well, why don't you concentrate on serving me?" Chu Cong directly took the person to the inner room, and the room was full of spring scenery.
…
"Bitch, vixen, you only know how to seduce the prince."
Concubine Fang said angrily that she had always tried to lift her waist but failed. She had taken so many prescriptions, but there was still no movement in her stomach.
No, if this continues, won’t Shen Lingshu get pregnant again?
The one in Aunt Li's belly was bad enough, and if there was another one, what if it was a son?
"Madame Gui, tell the prince that I want to promote Luyao to be his maidservant." Concubine Fang decided to promote Luyao to be his maidservant. Once she became his maidservant, the prince would definitely favor her!
With Nanny Hua in the mansion, even if the prince dotes on Chen Lingshu, she still has to go to other concubines' courtyards to share the love.
"Concubine, if you do this, the prince will be angry."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Gui quickly dispelled her idea and said, "In my opinion, Lu Yao has failed twice, which means that the prince doesn't like her. If we force her to be his concubine, it will offend the prince and concubine just for Lu Yao. You..."
"Madam Gui, what do you say we should do? Should we wait for that bitch Shen to give birth to a son? And take my position as a concubine?" Concubine Fang had a hunch that if Shen Lingshu really gave birth to a son, she would definitely be a concubine!
Then I'll be on equal footing with her...
"Concubine, Madam said she has found another prescription. By then, you will definitely be able to get pregnant." Nanny Gui said soothingly, "It's not worth it to make the prince angry just to promote Green Waist."
Concubine Fang took a deep breath and slowly calmed down. Then she realized that forcibly lifting Lu Yao to be her concubine would not work. She said, "Send Lu Yao back to the Fang family tomorrow."
Since Green Waist doesn't work, send it back.
The next day, when Concubine Fang got the key to the pair, she could not hide the excitement in her eyes.
When it was time to pay respects at noon, Concubine Fang was in an exceptionally good mood. She deliberately said in front of everyone, "Madam Gui, the weather is getting colder. Go to the storehouse and get some thick fabrics so that my sisters can make some winter clothes."
Having grown up in the backyard, Qi Qing knew what was going on when the pair of keys appeared. He quickly stood up and congratulated with a smile, "Congratulations, Concubine. We are all happy to have you take care of the mansion."
"After all, Concubine Shen is a concubine. The power of housekeeping should naturally be in the hands of you, the concubine with the highest status in the mansion." Qi Qing belittled Shen Lingshu, coaxing Concubine Fang, who was beaming.
"Concubine Shen, it seems that the prince is not satisfied with you." Li Susu stroked her belly gently. The power of housekeeper could not fall into her hands. She was happy to see Shen Lingshu unhappy.
It's rare that Li Susu would help her?
The next moment, Li Susu's words made Concubine Fang's face turn dark.
