Sure enough, Concubine Shu came back to the hall after a while.
Let’s talk about Ye Jiajia again.
"Your Majesty, Miss Ye has indeed been getting close to Your Majesty recently. Many ministers and people in the harem feel that something is amiss."
"This will inevitably arouse suspicion. If I had been following Eunuch Lu, there wouldn't have been any problem. But now that I'm so entangled with His Majesty, I'm afraid some people will use this to make a fuss."
"Your Majesty, if that doesn't work, then you can marry Miss Ye to the son of a minister in the court, or a general."
"I have a nephew who is about the same age as Miss Ye. If Your Majesty agrees..."
Liang Jing couldn't help but roll his eyes. Did everyone take this matter so seriously? Why not just raise the baby in your belly well?
Lu Yun also stood up and quickly explained, "My Lady, Miss Ye is my person, my confidant, and we have a very good relationship.
There is absolutely nothing going on between her and Your Majesty, so please rest assured."
"Your Majesty naturally doesn't care about the fact that Miss Ye is beautiful and prone to being criticized by others, and Miss Ye won't care either."
"I'm afraid Miss Ye will be very unhappy about the marriage. Don't forget that Miss Ye is a great master. That's not something she can say casually. It would be bad if she gets mad."
Concubine Shu frowned. How come even Eunuch Lu came out to help His Majesty with this matter? Could it be that it really has something to do with Miss Ye?
Your Majesty, I really like this Miss Ye.
"Your Majesty, there can't be any more people in the harem!"
Liang Jing rolled his eyes and ignored it.
Lu Yun also hurriedly stepped forward and said to Xiao Mei, "Don't worry, Concubine Shu. His Majesty doesn't have the energy right now. He focuses on family and national affairs every day.
I don't have the time to care about this kind of personal affairs, so I'd better not think too much about it."
"this……"
After seeing off Concubine Shu, Liang Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, she suddenly remembered something.
"It seems like I haven't favored Consort Xian for a long time!"
"ah?"
Only then did Lu Yun realize that Concubine Chen Yuan'er was a princess of Shu Kingdom and had a very good relationship with the emperor of Shu Kingdom.
What if it’s not handled properly, and the brother-in-law gets angry, and the conflict between the two countries gets worse?
At this critical moment, we should be more friendly to others, especially since Shu Kingdom is adjacent to their Great Zhou.
If any accidents happen in the future, we can provide timely assistance, and the two countries can visit each other more often and cooperate with each other.
"What does your Majesty mean?"
"I have nothing to do tonight, so I think I need to call Chen Yuan'er over so we can have a good discussion."
"It's all at your command, Your Majesty."
Lu Yun didn't have much thought about this matter anyway.
Soon, Chen Yuan'er was called to Taihe Palace again.
She looked so aggrieved, wearing a tight red robe, like a female knight, with a high ponytail.
Chen Yuan'er's eyes were filled with resentment, as if she could eat someone. She said to Liang Jing, "Your Majesty, it seems like you have completely forgotten me."
"Your Majesty, it seems like it's been a long time since you've had a proper conversation with me."
"Am I of no use to Your Majesty?"
"I feel so wronged. Even the Virtuous Consort has been favored by His Majesty, but I, the Virtuous Consort, have not."
"Your Majesty, have you really forgotten me?"
Liang Jing smiled awkwardly. To be honest, she did forget... There were so many women in the harem, it was impossible for her to remember them all the time.
What's more, the virtuous concubine does not engage in intrigue and does not hang out with those people in the harem.
Naturally, no one mentioned it, and since there have been so many things going on recently, no one thought about it.
"No, how could I forget you?"
"Alright, alright, my beloved, I just remembered it now. I'll spend some quality time with you today. What reward do you want?"
Chen Yuan'er took a quirky look, thought about it carefully, and then suddenly said, "Your Majesty, it has been a long time since I last had the delicious hot pot from my hometown. Would Your Majesty be interested in trying it?"
"All you need is a stove and an iron pot, and of course, our hot pot base. Our Shu Kingdom's hot pot is very spicy. Your Majesty, please try it."
Liang Jing thought about it. She seldom ate hotpot. Since Concubine Xian mentioned it, she might as well give it a try. She had nothing to do tonight anyway.
"Can."
"Eunuch Lu, go down and ask the kitchen staff to prepare something. I want to have a good hot pot dinner tonight."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Speaking of this, Lu Yun really missed the taste of hot pot.
Since coming to this foreign world, the food has changed a lot. I didn’t expect that there is hot pot in Shu Kingdom.
But only the people of Shu can eat it, and most people don’t know that there is such a delicacy.
Just enough to satisfy your craving tonight.
After a while, Taihe Palace arrived, along with the necessary stove, iron pot and hot pot base.
It can be said that it has everything you need and also has a lot of hot pot meat.
After all, he was the emperor, so he could eat any meat he wanted, even beef. However, cattle were the main farming tool, so even the emperor did not dare to eat them easily.
Looking at the table full of meat and vegetables, Lu Yun was almost dying of greed.
His mouth was watering instantly. He picked up the chopsticks and rinsed them in the pot a few times. He took a bite and the taste was amazing.
He also specially made a hot pot dipping sauce.
Seeing Lu Yun eating happily, Liang Jing was also very curious.
"Xiao Yunzi, have you ever eaten hot pot like this before? Isn't this something that can only be found in Shu Kingdom?"
Lu Yun was stunned for a moment. "Your Majesty, this is indeed the first time I've eaten this, but I thought it should be like this."
Liang Jing looked suspicious, and he was unwilling to believe it.
Even the virtuous concubine Chen Yuan'er was surprised and curious, and asked, "Eunuch Lu, what is this dipping sauce in the bowl when you eat hot pot?"
"Oh, I made this myself. When you eat hot pot, just put the cooked meat in it. It tastes especially good when dipped in it."
"ah?"
As a Shu person, this was the first time that Chen Yuan'er heard of such a way of eating.
She quickly tried it and said, "Oh, this tastes really good. I didn't expect that Eunuch Lu is so particular about food.
It seems that I have to make some changes to our Shu Kingdom’s hot pot from now on.”
Liang Jing became even more confused when he saw this.
Xiao Yunzi is not simple, he even ate hot pot before! Could it be that... his identity is also strange?
