Guo Changsheng left the Imperial Household Department with the memorial in his pocket. When he returned to the Yangxin Palace, he heard a woman's charming laughter coming from inside. He glanced at the eunuch waiting outside the palace and asked, "Didn't the emperor summon Yu Shidu to Fengtianzhai?"
The young eunuch hurriedly said, "The Imperial Concubine is here."
Guo Changsheng stuffed the memorial into his arms, bent over and entered the Yangxin Palace.
Xue Rong, who was in the arms of Emperor Mingzheng, saw him coming in. She raised her eyelids slightly and said with a smile, "Where has Eunuch Changsheng gone? I have been here for a while, why don't I see Eunuch Changsheng serving tea? Eunuch Changsheng's tea-making skills are unmatched in this palace. I haven't tasted it for a long time."
Guo Changsheng knew very well that Xue Rong was deliberately getting angry. Some time ago, when Concubine Shu was in favor, he stopped all the palace people in Changle Palace. This concubine in Changle Palace had always been unwilling to suffer any grievances, and now that she was in power, she wanted to return all the anger she had suffered.
But this master didn't think about it. If it wasn't for the emperor's instruction, how could a servant like him dare to act on his own? He is not the one in the Imperial Household Department!
Guo Changsheng raised his hand and gave himself a light slap, then said with a smile, "I knew that the Imperial Concubine was coming, so I went to the Imperial Hospital to find Court Judge Lu. The Imperial Concubine is now pregnant with the heir, so she has to be more careful with what she eats than before, which is why I was delayed in making tea for the Imperial Concubine."
"My beloved concubine wants to drink the tea brewed by Changsheng, isn't it easy?" Emperor Mingzheng said to Guo Changsheng with a smile, "You only have this little bit of cooking skill. My beloved minister Yu is here with you today, let him have a taste of your cooking skill too!"
Emperor Mingzheng looked at Yu Qizhe and said with a smile, "Guo Changsheng is the only one in the world who can make tea. I keep him by my side because I think he is useful!"
Yu Qizhe smiled faintly, "I've heard that Eunuch Changsheng is an amazing tea artist."
Guo Changsheng hurriedly said, "My dear reader, I am so flattered. It is a blessing for me to have a skill that His Majesty appreciates!"
Being interfered by Emperor Mingzheng, Xue Rong could only smile softly, "Eunuch Changsheng specially went to the Imperial Hospital for me. He was thoughtful. I was wrong to blame you."
Guo Changsheng was a close servant of Emperor Mingzheng. She had been in the palace for more than ten years, so naturally she would not make a fuss and offend anyone completely. She always knew how to handle the situation well, and Emperor Mingzheng spoke up to protect Guo Changsheng, and this was not her purpose of coming here today.
"Your Majesty, I am sorry for the trouble." Guo Changsheng bowed and said, "I will go and make some tea right away."
After Guo Changsheng left, Xue Rong's eyes fell on Yu Qizhe who was standing beside her. She took a grape from the fruit plate on the table, peeled it and fed it to Emperor Mingzheng, saying in a delicate voice, "Speaking of which, I was able to conceive a heir thanks to the third daughter of Liu Cifu's family. Today, I want to ask Your Majesty for a reward for her."
"The third girl in Liu Yu's house?" Emperor Mingzheng became curious when he heard it. "What do you mean, my beloved concubine? I do know the third girl in Liu Yu's house. If I remember correctly, the time when Mr. Qin came to the palace to punish Gu Yun, it was because of that girl, right?"
Xue Rong never thought that Emperor Mingzheng would bring up this matter. She really came here today to ask for a reward from Yu Jiao. She smiled and said, "I have also heard about this matter. It seems that Prince Qin bullied Miss Liu San in Xinglou, and Young Marquis Gu couldn't stand it, so he beat Prince Qin up."
"But I also heard that the third girl was born to Liu Yu and a woman outside, and was raised in the countryside before being brought back to the capital." Emperor Ming Zheng was really curious about the girl from the Liu family. Apart from anything else, the prince had done something stupid in the East Palace not long ago, which was also related to that girl.
