Chapter 427 Let Jiuer follow.
Emperor Kangxi looked at it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said: "This thing is very good for stimulating appetite. If you drink too much, it will not be good for your body. You should pay more attention to your body." This dish is extremely spicy and numbing. Even Emperor Kangxi would gasp after eating it. But Concubine Hui was drinking the soup as if nothing had happened. She was really amazing.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Concubine Hui couldn't help but drink another spoonful of soup. She glanced at the dish in front of her with a hint of reluctance. Suddenly, she put the spoon down and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I really love this dish. Can you let Miss Wen stay with me for a few days?"
Just teach the cook in my small kitchen how to cook. Then I won't have to bother her to make food for the eldest brother. This will prevent Sister De from worrying about Miss Wen.
As she spoke, Concubine Hui glanced at Concubine De with a beaming smile, and added, "Sister De, you've really helped me a lot this time. This dish will surely whet my appetite. I'll definitely bring a gift to thank you later."
The advantage of warming the wine couldn't be taken by Concubine De alone. If she could get someone to come over, that would be great. Isn't it possible to eat this dish whenever she wants?
By then, when the person is in front of her, it will not be so easy for Concubine De to take him back.
Concubine De met Concubine Hui's eyes and guessed what she was thinking in the blink of an eye.
What a great Concubine Hui! She has a good plan!
Seeing that the emperor liked the food made by Jiu'er, she didn't even care about her dignity!
Jiu'er was, after all, the Fourth Master's concubine, no ordinary maid. She actually dared to ask for help, truly underestimating her.
Besides, speaking of this private recipe, who doesn't know its value? If anyone has any shame, they shouldn't say such things. She is truly shameless.
Glancing at Emperor Kangxi again, she saw that he was frowning, clearly still weighing his options. Concubine De immediately slammed down her chopsticks and asked, "Sister Hui, what do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Hui looked at Concubine De with surprise. What was going on?
After decades of fighting, who doesn't know each other's character? The Emperor is still here, and she's turned against him? Is she giving up her virtuous and kind appearance?
Emperor Kangxi was also a little stunned, and subconsciously patted Concubine De's hand: "What's wrong with your temper? Why are you throwing chopsticks while we're talking peacefully? How did anyone treat you with disrespect?"
Emperor Kangxi was indeed a little hesitant. Concubine Hui was one of the few elderly people who had accompanied him until now. Since she had asked, it was difficult for him to refuse.
But Miss Wen is pregnant now. Although she looks in good health, it is time for her to rest. The fourth brother treats her well and probably doesn't want to send her to work as a maid in someone else's courtyard.
After all, the fourth brother had made a great contribution during this period. He had just rejected the fourth brother's request to make her a concubine, but now he sent the warm wine that was pregnant to Concubine Hui to serve her. This was really unacceptable.
Before he could figure out how to deal with the situation, Concubine De suddenly became angry again. Emperor Kangxi was really confused.
De Fei's chest heaved violently, her handkerchief was nearly torn to pieces by her, and she said in a trembling voice, "I finally understand. Sister Hui is here to slap me in the face today!
When have I ever said no to anything Sister Hui wants to eat? Even if Sister Hui wants a recipe, I won't refuse.
I'm from a humble background and don't know the rules, but doesn't Sister Hui know the rules either? Jiu'er is the Fourth Prince's wife, and she's been serving him for over a decade. She's at least half his wife, but now, with just one word from Sister Hui, she's sending her away to cook for the Prince of Zhi?
I've been in the palace for so many years, but I've never heard of anything like this! If this gets out, will the Fourth Brother still have any dignity? There's no way to belittle someone like this."
As Concubine De spoke, she began to cry. She took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, turned her face away, and did not even look at Concubine Hui.
Emperor Kangxi was stunned for a moment, then he put his arm around Concubine De's shoulders and frowned, saying, "Why are we talking about family backgrounds? Since you don't want to, just don't let Wen go."
"Sister Defei, what do you mean by that?" Huifei said immediately, "I only asked Miss Wen to come to me. Who said she was to serve the eldest brother? She just needs to teach the kitchen staff how to cook. I treat people from the Fourth Master's courtyard as honored guests. How could I possibly let her suffer any injustice?" She sighed helplessly, frowned, looked at Emperor Kangxi, and pleaded, "Your Majesty, sister, you misunderstood me. Please help me to persuade her."
Before Emperor Kangxi could say anything, Concubine De suddenly interrupted, "Sister, you still say you're not looking down on me? Sister, you know I was born a palace maid, and you're deliberately using it to hurt me."
De Fei wiped her tears and said with red eyes: "To be honest with the emperor, this girl grew up by my side since she was a child. Although she came from a poor family, she is indeed a woman who has never touched women.
"It's because I cook for His Majesty that I'm willing to use her. Normally, when I eat by myself, I wouldn't even bother asking that child to go to the kitchen. Why would you let someone else do this in such a disrespectful way?"
As she spoke, she began to cry again and turned her head away, saying, "Sister Hui, please go back early. My yard is so shabby, I don't want to keep Sister Hui here any longer."
Concubine Hui's eyes widened in shock. Did Concubine De take the wrong medicine today? Could she really act so spoiled in front of the emperor? How old was she? Was she crazy?
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Kangxi waved at her.
"Empress Hui, please go back for now. Concubine De still has a bit of a temper, so please be more tolerant of her." He then looked at Liang Jiugong beside him and said, "The two hu of Dongzhu pearls I just got a while ago are the best for her. I will send them to your Empress Hui later."
Concubine Hui was not happy at all after receiving the Dongzhu. Suddenly, she recalled the time when Concubine De was in great favor many years ago.
I was so angry that I gritted my teeth. It was just for a little girl. She was so old, but she could still resort to such tricks and was not ashamed at all!
He glared at Concubine De fiercely and walked away with his sleeves swung.
"Okay, how old are you?" Emperor Kangxi looked at Concubine De, whose eyes were red, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "I thought your personality had changed in recent years, but you have always been pretending to be nice to me."
Concubine De wiped her tears and said, "Even rabbits bite when they are angry. Even clay figures have tempers. It's okay for me to suffer some grievances, but why should my children suffer as well?"
In fact, Defei also had some tentative thoughts today. The last time she talked with Jiuer, she remembered how she got along with the emperor when she was in great favor.
Today, she took the opportunity to test her temper, but she didn't expect that the emperor seemed to be particularly tolerant of her.
Then he said, "Your Majesty, you will be leaving in two days. Please let Jiu'er go with you."
