"Mother, why are we out here? I want to eat the fruit jelly made by the Sixth Princess. There are round rice grains in it, like transparent pearls. It's delicious!"
The emperor was unhappy. The fever made him feel as if all the moisture was drained out of him.
His lips were a little cracked, but he still forgot what he had eaten.
The queen closed her eyes and didn't want to pay attention to her disgraceful son. She lowered her voice and coaxed Liu Qin, "Your Majesty, be good. Are we here to look for Princess Mo in Yuntai Palace? It's a bit early. Princess Mo hasn't come yet. I'm sure your Majesty will be able to eat the fruit jelly you've been dreaming of in a while."
The Emperor didn't like any of the food Jiang Ying made.
Even if you are allergic to mango, you still have to bite one to see what happens. How can you resist delicious food?
What's more, Jiang Ying is not only good at cooking, but also every time he brings out something that is not available in this era, which naturally makes the foodie 꺶皇 fascinated and yearning!
For example, he described the "rice grains that are round like transparent pearls". In fact, tapioca pearls and ice jelly are a perfect match for food.
Being suddenly interrupted by the emperor, Concubine Ruan's rather aggressive attitude was restrained.
Concubine Chen looked apologetic. Seeing that the emperor was not well, she could not help but express her concern. "Your Majesty, is the emperor catching a cold? I think the second emperor looks very energetic. It just so happens that Princess Mo will come over at the end of the day. The three of them will leave the palace in the afternoon. Please ask her to check on the two emperors to make sure there is something wrong with their health."
She really felt sorry for the child.
Although I still had doubts in my heart, I wanted to vent my anger on the child.
Moreover, Princess Mo has been exhausted these days, and the Emperor has allowed her to leave the palace and have a good rest for a while, and they will set out together for the autumn hunt in half a month.
Therefore, if you miss today, Princess Xu Mo will not be able to enter the palace soon.
She is now the best doctor in all of Nanzhao. If she didn't care about her child, Concubine Chen would not be willing to cause more trouble for Jiang Ying.
The emperor was in a very good mood after having a pair of twins, a dragon and a phoenix. He specifically instructed the officials in charge of the autumn hunt in previous years to increase the scale this year, and both the variety and the prizes would be richer and more expensive.
Several noble families in the capital city have received invitations. Although there is still half a month left, many officials' sons, including noble ladies who are about to get married or have not yet gotten married, have become active in making clothes and practicing the piano.
Half a month later, Concubine Chen was still in her confinement, and she felt a little regretful that she could not participate in the autumn hunt.
However, with the Second Prince and the Third Emperor by her side, she soon came to terms with her regrets and even thought it would be good for her to die. After all, if she left, she would be relieved to leave her two children alone in the palace.
She was distracted and had a lot of thoughts. When Concubine Chen came back to her senses, she found that Concubine Ruan's tone was even more sarcastic, "Concubine, you are ashamed of the emperor. You talk the same as before. Why are you so hypocritical? If the first and second emperors had not been punished to kneel in Concubine's palace the day before yesterday and had not caught a heat stroke, how could they suddenly become like this? This is what people say, the cat cries the cat, fake mercy!"
Concubine Chen's heart choked when she heard this. "Sister Ruan, I was in so much pain in the delivery room that day that I had no idea what was going on. If you insist on putting this blame on me, then you will naturally think that whatever I say is well-intentioned. But God can see that I don't have the slightest wish for the best for the First and Second Emperors."
If she really suppressed her anger, with the emperor's doting on her these days, would it be difficult for her to punish the first and second emperors?
But she didn't do that?
Now I suggest that Jiang Ying take a look at the two energetic children. It's a good idea.
"Hmph." Concubine Ruan was speechless for a moment, and her face looked even uglier since she entered the Yuntai Palace.
Because the entire interior of the temple is extremely warm.
Red celebratory lanterns were hung from the eaves, and the yard was filled with carefully trimmed potted flowers and plants, lush, colorful and elegant.
The pale orchids and the autumn goddess chrysanthemums are in clusters, and their number complements each other very well, looking beautiful and abundant.
Elegant, exaggerated, and you can tell at first glance that it's for children!
Infants have fragile skin and their respiratory tracts are not fully developed. If they stay with pollen for a long time, they are prone to allergies. So the emperor gave Concubine Chen the precious chrysanthemums, but didn't consider displaying them lavishly?
Did he know that the Second Emperor would sneeze at night if he smelled too much pollen?
Yesterday, he sent many blooming chrysanthemums to Kunning Palace and Lingyan Pavilion. Concubine Ruan was so pleased that she thought the emperor still loved her. But when she went to Yuntai Palace, she found that what she thought were good were actually the leftovers of the emperor's family!
Feeling extremely anxious, Concubine Ruan began to talk about the flowers and plants in the courtyard in an attempt to fuel the Queen's anger.
In the end, the Queen didn't respond at all and just asked, "Do you think Princess Mo will definitely come?"
Concubine Chen was stunned for a moment, and quickly answered, "Yes, she said that before leaving the palace, she would come to ask for another pulse check for the Third Emperor and the Second Duke. If there is no problem, she will enter the palace at most once every half a month in the future. Your Majesty, please believe me. I just escaped death and gave birth to a child. Even if I have any doubts about you, I will definitely not anger the child."
This made the Queen look more serious. She glanced at Concubine Chen and said, "Oh? So, my sister is suspicious of Concubine Ruan?"
Concubine Chen smiled bitterly, "Everyone knew the danger of that situation that day. The Empress and Concubine Ruan were the only ones in the palace who were close to the Emperor. It just so happened that the First and Second Emperors were naughty and went to play on the rockery, and the gravel they brought down almost hit the Emperor and his concubines. There were too many coincidences in this series of events. Even if the Empress were in my situation at the time, wouldn't she think too much?"
After he finished speaking, the palace suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
When the queen spoke, everyone held their breath and concentrated. If they dared to make any loud noises, their hearts would beat faster and they would cover their mouths with their hands in anger.
I know that after so much time, it should be longer, but Concubine Chen thinks it is too long.
Finally, the queen stroked her beautiful armor with a smile, "You are a smart one, you know how to tell the truth, but you really became what Concubine Ruan described, hypocritical!
Now, I believe you have no ill intentions towards the two emperors.
There is only one thing. This concubine, Princess Ruan, has come here in a hurry because I want to tell you personally that regarding the matter of the rockery and broken stones, the two emperors appear to be making trouble, but in fact there are many suspicious points!
For example, they were fine, why did they suddenly like climbing the rockery?
For example, if it was just a coincidence, how could the two children have predicted in advance that the emperor would go to the Imperial Garden early in the morning that day?"
Listening to the faint sound of the Queen's love, Concubine Chen felt cold all over.
Ah, it's just a coincidence, then who is the one who deliberately harmed her?
"I don't believe that the concubine is so stupid. Today, I brought Concubine Ruan here with me. I am afraid that the concubine will confront us." The queen's eyes were so cold that they seemed to be emotionless.
Concubine Chen's legs went limp, and she took a step back and leaned on the edge of the table.
So scary!
It's too dark!
She instigated the two children to do it. Generally, people would suspect the biological mother of the two children, namely the queen and Concubine Ruan.
But based on Concubine Chen's understanding of the two women, the Queen was aloof and would never do such a thing.
As for Concubine Ruan, she is a little talkative and likes to pretend to be aloof and Buddhist, but she is actually very calm and just pretending.
But no matter what, these two people are, at most, the most likely to harm her.
However, once she thought about it carefully... shaking her head, Concubine Chen broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead, and she gave up the idea that the Queen and Concubine Ruan were the murderer.
Then think about it, among the concubines in the harem, there are only a few who are regarded as thorns in their eyes.
As she got closer to the truth, she became more and more panicked. The Queen saw this and chuckled, "I have one more thing to do. Come on, bring up the Emperor's eunuch, Xiaoyue!"
