Chapter 84 Coma Concubine
Xian smiled and lowered her eyes: "Thank you for your kindness, Concubine Shugui, but the process of making dumplings is complicated and requires skills. The masters have not learned it yet, and I can't leave. It doesn't matter, Your Majesty and the sisters eat first, I'm not hungry yet."
After saying that, she raised her eyes and glanced at Emperor Qingling.
It can be said that she was full of affection and secretly sending her eyes.
Concubine Shugui looked away and looked at the food in Concubine Xian's hand: "Concubine Xian's craftsmanship is really clever. This ordinary flour can be made into such a shape, each one is full and round, which makes people happy. Your Majesty, try it quickly."
Emperor Qingling said lightly: "Bring it here."
Concubine Xian stepped forward and stood in front of Emperor Qingling.
After kneeling down to salute, she looked at him hopefully.
Emperor Qingling raised his eyes and unexpectedly met the eyes of Concubine Xian.
Concubine Shugui watched from the side without interrupting, her eyes also had a smile, gentle and elegant, graceful and noble.
But her face was bloodless and very pale.
Emperor Qingling raised his hand and took the dumpling from Concubine Xian's hand, but unexpectedly his fingers just crossed Concubine Xian's hand. Concubine Xian shuddered suddenly. Emperor Qingling frowned slightly and said lightly: "It's cold outside, wear something thicker."
Concubine Xian lowered her eyes and said: "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. These are what I should do."
Emperor Qingling avoided her gaze and said: "Well, go ahead."
Concubine Xian was stunned, as if she didn't expect the emperor to actually ask her to go out. She
was upset, but she still went out.
Concubine Shu Gui did not miss the disappointment in her eyes and said angrily, "Your Majesty, Sister Zhiyao is so sensible, why do you let her continue to cook? The food has been prepared in the kitchen a long time ago, and someone will bring it to you as soon as Your Majesty gives an order. Sister Zhiyao is already depressed, so don't let her condition get any worse." Emperor
Qing Ling looked at Concubine Shu Gui with a smile and put the food on the small table, "Okay, I know that my Yaohe is the most considerate. Eat quickly. I will make an exception for you this time."
Concubine Shu Gui leaned aside and said coquettishly, "Sister Zhiyao made the first bowl of food specially for Your Majesty. What would it mean if I ate it? I dare not waste sister Zhiyao's kindness." As
soon as these words came out, the concubines present covered their mouths and laughed.
Emperor Qingling coughed lightly, picked up a dumpling and put it into his mouth.
It burst with juice, the dough wrapped with meat filling, the saltiness was moderate, sweet and delicious, it was really a miracle.
The fragrance of the dumpling spread instantly, and the whole room was filled with fragrance.
Concubine Shugui's stomach growled.
Concubine Shugui lowered her head shyly, covered her face with a handkerchief, and her ears blushed.
Emperor Qingling looked at her jokingly: "Are you hungry, Yaohe?"
Concubine Shu leaned further to the side: "Your Majesty, are you making fun of me?"
Emperor Qingling laughed heartily, then picked up the dumpling and put it to Concubine Shu's lips: "Come, I'll feed you."
Although Concubine Shu was very hungry, she still had her wits about her. If all the concubines in this room saw her eating dumplings with the emperor's chopsticks, not to mention the disapproval of the former court, even the harem would probably say that she was arrogant and committed insubordination.
She quickly leaned back and said: "Your Majesty, I'll do it myself."
Emperor Qingling curled his lips, put the dumpling on the small table, and raised his hand to pinch Concubine Shu's cheek.
"My Shugui Consort has always been sensible and knows how to please me. This bowl is a reward for you."
Shugui Consort said playfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Qingling glanced at the concubines present, lowered his head and said lightly, "You all go to the small kitchen to help. We don't need too many people here. I will ask them to set up a long table later, and we will guess riddles and light lanterns to celebrate the safety of Shugui Consort."
The concubines from each palace stood up and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
In a blink of an eye, Emperor Qingling and Shugui Consort were the only ones left in the room.
Shu Guifei held a dumpling in her mouth and said incoherently, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for thinking of me. I am so embarrassed to have so many people watching me eat."
Emperor Qingling touched Shu Guifei's head and said lovingly, "You are so old, but you are still like a child."
Shu Guifei lowered her head and smiled.
But the moment she lowered her head, she put away her smile and her eyes were full of bitterness.
The word "child" reminded her of Ying'an.
I wonder how she is doing in the cold palace?
If she were older, she would be able to eat this fresh meal.
"Your Majesty, I want to go to the small kitchen and learn how to make dumplings from Concubine Xian." Shu Guifei lowered her head and said sullenly.
Emperor Qingling was about to refuse, but Shu Guifei raised her eyes with tears.
"When Ying'an grows up, I want to cook for her."
Such a simple sentence actually made Emperor Qingling's eyes red.
Parents are the most pitiful.
But as a father, he is far less qualified than Shu Guifei as a mother.
He hugged Shu Guifei's body and patted her gently: "Be good, your body is not suitable to get out of bed. If you insist on going, I will hold you."
Shu Guifei was stunned in his arms, then stood up suddenly and looked at him with a strange look on her face.
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can you hold me in your arms and go to the small kitchen to watch cooking in public?"
Emperor Qingling curled his lips and said: "If I can't learn this time, there is next time. When you are better, I will let Yaohe come over. Then, I will learn with you and cook for Ying'an together."
Shu Guifei looked at him and suddenly left two lines of tears.
His affection is always limited.
But every time she cried.
Young love, orchid cause and effect.
It will eventually go in an uncontrollable direction.
She nodded with tears in her eyes: "Okay, I will wait for Your Majesty to make dumplings for Ying'an with me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Weiran suddenly rushed in from outside.
He slid to his knees in front of Emperor Qingling: "Your Majesty, Princess Zhixin suddenly fell into a coma and is now waiting outside the palace."
Emperor Qingling's face changed suddenly: "Why don't you go and ask the imperial physician!"
After yelling, he immediately looked at Concubine Shugui in his arms, only to see that her face became even paler, and she almost couldn't breathe. She stared at Wei Weiran steadily without saying a word.
Emperor Qingling quickly stroked Concubine Shugui's back to soothe her, saying repeatedly: "Yaohe... Yaohe... breathe... breathe... Ying'an is fine... Ying'an is fine..."
Perhaps his comfort worked, Concubine Shugui's face gradually became rosy, but she was still pale.
She forced herself to look at Wei Weiran: "Why don't you bring the princess in! I want to take care of her myself!"
Wei Weiran had naturally heard about Concubine Shugui's deeds in the cold palace, and he glanced at Emperor Qingling.
Emperor Qingling nodded: "Go and bring her. She won't feel at ease without seeing Ying'an."
Last time she fainted because of Ying'an's disappearance. Thinking about it now, he is still afraid. If one day he loses Yaohe, he is afraid that he will not know how to live.
Nanny Xiang, who had been waiting outside the house, heard it and walked in directly holding Ying'an.
As soon as she came, she knelt down directly: "Your Majesty, you have to make a decision for the princess! The princess didn't suddenly fall ill...but...but..."
After talking for a long time, Nanny Xiang didn't explain the reason.
Emperor Qingling frowned: "Just say it, I am here to seek justice for Ying'an!"
"It was Nanny Yu who was beside the Empress who drugged the princess, so the princess is unconscious!"
