Chapter 80: Revenge for the slightest grudge
Emperor Qingling put himself in her shoes.
If there really was a woman who was the only one he loved in his heart, and he would stay with her for his whole life, and they would be together for a lifetime, watching flowers, the sea, and the world, but when he woke up, she had forgotten him, he would probably go crazy.
He was thinking deeply, and the figure of Concubine Shugui appeared in his mind.
If he could choose, he would like the person who would stay with him to be Yaohe.
Seeing that he was silent, Concubine Xian said: "So, Your Majesty, I am not because of Concubine Shugui, but because I am depressed and can't control my emotions."
Emperor Qingling was speechless for a moment.
After a long time, he opened his lips: "Let's go, I will go with you to make porridge for Concubine Shugui."
Concubine Xian nodded, and wanted to step forward to hold Emperor Qingling's arm, but he cleverly avoided her.
Concubine Xian stared blankly at her empty arms, unable to hide her disappointment, but still changed the subject and made small talk.
"Your Majesty, I have recently researched a new way of eating, called dumplings. After delivering the porridge to Concubine Shugui, I will make you a bowl. Would you like to try it?"
Emperor Qingling knew her good intentions and said lightly: "Okay."
Concubine Xian did not say anything more.
She knew that the emperor did not say much because he had not found out the whereabouts of Gu Fang. If he found out that Gu Fang was related to her, he would launch a crazy revenge.
Whether in his previous life or this life, he was suspicious and wavering.
If she had not killed Concubine Shugui early in her previous life, she would have no place in the harem.
After the porridge was ready, she wanted to go there with the emperor, but was rejected by the emperor.
"She just had a miscarriage and doesn't want to see anyone who makes her sad. You should stay in the palace. I'll come over to have dinner with you later."
Concubine Xian smiled bitterly: "Okay."
After Emperor Qingling left, Concubine Xian sat alone on the couch.
Deep in thought, she called her personal maid.
"Is everything settled?"
"Your Majesty, everything has been settled. This matter will definitely not be traced to your Majesty."
"Well, go down."
Outside Guangling Palace, the eunuch behind Emperor Qingling was carrying a food box and was about to go in with Emperor Qingling.
Emperor Qingling glanced at the side and said calmly: "Pour out the porridge, and tell the kitchen to make a bowl of pigeon soup to replenish the blood and send it to Guangling Palace."
The eunuch hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Within half an hour, the secret that the emperor personally poured out the porridge sent by the Empress of Chengqian Palace to the Empress of Guangling Palace spread throughout the palace.
The maids were discussing it, and when they passed by Chengqian Palace, they were also pointing and talking.
Concubine Xian was busy in the small kitchen, and the maid beside her ran in angrily and threw the handkerchief in her hand directly to the ground.
Concubine Xian frowned and said unhappily, "What happened? In this palace, your every word and action affects me. Be careful about your words and actions and don't bring me unnecessary trouble."
The maid picked up her handkerchief and said with a pout, "Your Majesty, the emperor had someone pour out the porridge you made yourself. Now it's spread all over the palace, and everyone is making fun of you!"
Concubine Xian had been kneading the dough in her hands. Hearing this, she suddenly stopped, and then recovered after just a moment.
She opened her lips and said, "It's fine if it falls. It's not a rare item anyway."
The maid stepped forward and said, "But your majesty, that's your hard work. How can Concubine Shugui ignore your feelings like this?"
Concubine Xian glanced at her and said lightly, "It's the emperor who ignored my feelings. What does it have to do with Concubine Shugui? You go out first. I will personally make dinner for the emperor."
The maid glanced at the flour on Concubine Xian's face.
Her majesty is clearly focused on the emperor, why can't the emperor see it?
It is said that the most taboo in the harem is to be favored. Concubine Shugui is so favored. I'm afraid that there are many people in the previous dynasty who are dissatisfied with Concubine Shugui.
But the Hua family is now in trouble again. I'm afraid that fewer and fewer people will care about the majesty in the future.
She cried distressedly: "Madam, please forgive me for being blunt. Even if you make it, the emperor may not eat it. Why do you do this?"
Concubine Xian curled her lips and kept moving: "Whether the emperor eats it or not is his business. Whether I make it or not is my business. You go out first and go back to my room to get some golden melon seeds to reward the people in the palace. Just say it's a reward for their performance today."
The maid took the order and went out.
Guangling Palace.
When Concubine Shu Gui just woke up and heard that Emperor Qingling poured Concubine Xian's porridge, Emperor Qingling was handling official business on the other side of the room.
Mi Chun also said that Concubine Xian was making new food for the emperor in Chengqian Palace, which was said to be called dumplings.
After Mi Chun left, Concubine Shugui shouted, "Your Majesty, why did you pour out the porridge that Sister Zhiyao gave me?"
Needless to say, Concubine Xian explained the previous worry clearly and resolved the emperor's doubts. However, after all, the emperor had heard a lot of bad things about Hua Zhiyao from Ying'an. No matter how partial he was to Hua Zhiyao, he was already suspicious at this time. What
she had to do now was to save face.
Let the emperor know that she was doing it for the entire harem, not for her personal honor.
Emperor Qingling paused while reviewing memorials, stood up and walked towards her: "Why are you up? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Concubine Shu looked at him, curled her lips and smiled: "Your Majesty, I don't know what's wrong with me, I always feel weak, why do you look like you hope that I can't wake up."
Emperor Qingling raised his hand and pinched Concubine Shu's nose, and said softly: "What nonsense are you talking about? My Concubine Shu lives a thousand years."
Concubine Shu lowered her head, and her whole person was very gentle.
Emperor Qingling sat on the couch, put his arm around her shoulders and coaxed: "Yaohe, I owe you and our child, and I will definitely make it up to you and your daughter in the future."
At this moment, Concubine Shu did not doubt his sincerity.
This friendship was so strong that it seemed to overflow.
It was a rare opportunity for him to leave Hua Zhiyao, who had been with him all his life, and stay with her forever.
She opened her lips and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Xian is researching a new food and is making it in Chengqian Palace. Why don't you invite the sisters in the palace to come over and eat it together, so that everyone can taste Concubine Xian's cooking skills?"
Emperor Qingling frowned and refused, "You are not in good health, and the weather is cold today, so it is not suitable for you to go out."
Concubine Shu Gui lowered her eyes, and her mood visibly sank.
Emperor Qing Ling's nose was filled with the smell of blood from Concubine Shu Gui's recent miscarriage, and he suddenly felt distressed.
He opened his lips and said, "Since it is inconvenient for you to go out, I can ask Concubine Xian to come to Guangling Palace and cook for you."
Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Is it okay? But in this way, won't Sister Zhiyao be unhappy? Your Majesty and I use her like a servant, will her illness..."
Emperor Qingling scratched Concubine Shu's nose and said cunningly, "It doesn't matter, she is willing to do it for me, it's okay anywhere."
Concubine Shu lowered her eyes and nestled in Emperor Qingling's arms, "In this case, thank you very much, Your Majesty."
She was a person who would never let go of a grudge, especially after having Ying'an, her heart became smaller.
She didn't care whether the Queen's ancient recipe had anything to do with Concubine Xian. In her heart, this matter had been equated with Concubine Xian.
As a reborn concubine, her ability must be far more than this.
It would be a good idea to kill her temper at this time.
Emperor Qingling: "Xiao Guangzi, go and invite the concubines of the palace to Guangling Palace to taste the cooking skills of Concubine Xian. Michun, go and invite Concubine Xian."
