Chapter 8 Delicate Palace Maid VS Cold Emperor 8
He just glanced at her and then looked away.
"Bring breakfast—"
Xiao Fuzi flicked his whisk and gave instructions to the two long lines below.
Afterwards, palace maids on both sides came in carrying plates, all of which were filled with the most exquisite breakfast.
After the plates were placed, Xiao Fuzi began to serve the food.
There were osmanthus cakes, porridge, various medicinal foods and health-preserving soups, as well as small buns that were as clear as crystal, meat porridge, meat soup and many other things, and the entire table was filled with a dazzling array of things.
Shen Qi picked up the chopsticks, but did not eat immediately. Instead, he glanced around the entire table.
The palace maids don't have such a good breakfast. Thinking of this, Shen Qi's eyes fell on a plate of exquisite pastries not far away. As soon as he looked over, Xiao Fuzi picked up a piece and put it on his plate with great discernment.
However, what no one expected was that Shen Qi narrowed his deep eyes and then said, "No need to give it to me. The imperial maid Su Su has served me well, so this plate of cakes is given to her."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Su Zhiruan.
Su Zhiruan did not expect that the Emperor would suddenly make such a decision. At this moment, everyone's eyes were on her.
There was jealousy, confusion, and a desire to curry favor.
She calmed herself down, folded her hands and knelt down to salute, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for rewarding me."
In the bedroom, the least surprised person was Xiao Fuzi. He had eavesdropped the whole night yesterday. Even if the emperor conferred a title on Miss Susu, he thought it was normal. On the contrary, he did not receive the emperor's decree of conferring the title in the morning, and he was quite curious why she did not get the title.
Xiao Fuzi picked up the plate and Su Zhiruan took it.
The most shocking thing was the other palace maid serving on the other side.
She felt that she was probably still asleep. Why did her good sister become a popular figure around His Majesty in just one night? And even got the imperial cake?! Shen Qi continued to have breakfast, and the palace servants below also performed their duties and did their own things.
As breakfast was almost over, an unexpected guest came to the side hall.
I heard his voice before I saw him.
"I want to see the emperor, go and tell him!"
The sound is loud and sharp.
It was just one sentence, but Su Zhiruan quickly recognized that it was the imperial concubine's voice. She carefully looked at Shen Qi who was sitting in front of her.
Obviously, Shen Qi was very unhappy at this time, and even frowned immediately, "Imperial Concubine? What is she doing here?"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I brought you the sweet-scented osmanthus, white fungus and snow jade soup that I made myself. Let me see you!" The door of the side hall of the Purple Palace was open when the emperor was having breakfast. The imperial concubine was looking outside. When she saw Shen Qi, she quickly saluted and her voice became much more charming, "Your Majesty!"
"Let her in." Shen Qi had already seen the person, so it would be bad to refuse her the door. After all, she was the empress dowager's niece.
The imperial concubine raised her head with joy. After stepping into the room, she took the food box from her personal maid and walked to Shen Qi. She was so fast that she pushed Su Zhiruan aside. Her whole body was almost sticking to Shen Qi. She said in a delicate voice, "Your Majesty~ I haven't seen you for a long time. I am almost missing you sick. Listen, how nervous I am~" As she spoke, she wanted to hold Shen Qi's hand and put it on herself.
All the palace servants around were in a state of looking at each other, including Su Zhiruan who was pushed away.
She didn't really care about what happened just now, but she remembered very clearly the last time she was punished to kneel. One day, she would make the imperial concubine pay back everything.
"Royal Concubine, I have not set foot in the harem for this month, all in order to allow you to cultivate your character. How will the servants view you if you behave like this?" Shen Qi pushed the Royal Concubine away, his tone light, but intimidating without anger.
The imperial concubine did not seem to have expected that she had really angered the emperor this time. Her previous panic was fake, but now it was real. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
After she was pushed away, she happened to fall next to Su Zhiruan.
Before she could say anything, she saw the snacks in Su Zhiruan's hand. As if she had just found a point to change the subject, she quickly asked for credit, "Your Majesty! This slave girl is carrying snacks from the imperial kitchen, and there's one piece missing! Could it be that this slave girl embezzled the missing piece?"
Su Zhiruan widened her eyes slightly. She originally thought that since the imperial concubine could sit in the position of imperial concubine, she should have some brains. Who would have thought that she really had no intelligence and no logic. She said whatever she saw. This legendary big-breasted and brainless woman was the first time she saw this kind of woman in the harem where there were many talented people.
She was just a little palace maid, and even if she wanted to eat something secretly, she would never think of eating the emperor's breakfast.

"That was given by me." Shen Qi said, his eyes fell coldly on the imperial concubine, "I ate the missing piece, what do you think?"
The imperial concubine opened her mouth but could not say anything. She stared at Su Zhiruan as if she was staring at an enemy.
After looking at it a few more times, she remembered that this palace maid was the palace maid named Susu who she had punished to kneel a few days ago.
I really didn't expect that this little kid would be treated like this.
Her eyes turned red with anger, and she turned around and cried, "Your Majesty, have you been with this maid all this time? You haven't come to the harem for a whole month. The Queen Mother and Auntie feel sorry for me. I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time. Today I am really homesick. I can't see the emperor, and I feel sick all over. I thought that if the emperor is too busy with official duties, I will personally cook soup for the emperor every day, which is also a token of my love. I really want to see Your Majesty every day and take care of Your Majesty every day. I even envy these servants who can see their sweethearts every day."
As soon as she said this, the servants below all lowered their heads, not daring to look at her any longer.
Shen Qi didn't expect that a concubine would come and make a lot of noise so early in the morning. He put down his chopsticks, his brows and eyes were filled with deep fatigue. He pinched his eyebrows and tapped the table with the knuckles of the jade ring, making crisp sounds.
During this period of time, Su Zhiruan followed him and roughly figured out the state of this plane lord. Generally speaking, when he made this gesture, it meant that he was in a bad mood.
The imperial concubine wanted to say something more to express her feelings, but she was stopped by Shen Qi's words.
"Since the Imperial Concubine wants to see me every day so much and even envy these servants, then I can satisfy you." Shen Qi was annoyed by what she said, so he looked up at the Imperial Concubine and pointed at Su Zhiruan beside him, "Exchange with her?"
