Chapter 28 Deliberately Finding Trouble
Concubine Xu and Lin Fenyi came towards them. Lin Fenyi's face was very unhappy. It seemed that her brother's problem had not been resolved yet.
"Oh. Where are you going, Sister Wen?" Concubine Xu walked over and asked with a smile.
"I personally made some apple chips and am preparing to send them to Chengqian Palace." Wen Wanyu said.
"Can you show it to me?"
"Of course." Wen Wanyu opened the lunch box.
It was the first time that Concubine Xu and Lin Fenyi heard of and saw fruit chips. They curiously peeked into the food box.
Concubine Xu asked with a smile, "Sister Wen is very clever. But where is this apple crisp from? I've never heard of it before."
"It's a little snack from outside the palace. It's just quite rare. I learned how to eat it before I entered the palace."
Wen Wanyu replied patiently.
Concubine Xu had no intention of letting her go and kept asking questions and greeting her.
Concubine Xu said, "Originally, I wouldn't want to take the Emperor's things, but looking at this plate of crisps, I'm really greedy. Sister Wen, could you give it to me?"
Finally getting to the point, Concubine Xu was sure that Wen Wanyu would not dare to say no.
Wen Wanyu smiled: "Of course. As long as the queen doesn't mind."
Concubine Xu and Lin Fenyi were a little surprised that he agreed so readily.
Although Bai Su was dissatisfied, she had no choice but to let him go. The maid behind Concubine Xu stepped forward and held out her hand.
Bai Su handed over the food box, making sure it was in the hands of the palace maid, but the maid's hand suddenly pulled back, and the food box fell to the ground.
The lid was opened, and the chips rolled onto the floor. They were dirty, and definitely inedible.
Bai Su stood there in a daze.
The palace maid turned the tables and said, "Why didn't you hold it steady?"
Bai Su came to her senses. She had clearly withdrawn her hand, so how could it be her fault? She was immediately furious, her face flushed with anger: "It was clearly you who took your hand back on purpose. You've gone too far.
"Bai Su."
Wen Wanyu called her.
Bai Su lowered his eyes and retreated behind her.
Concubine Xu smiled, but there was no trace of regret or regret for wasting food on her face.
Lin Fenyi started her speech with sarcasm: "This is such a waste." Looking at Bai Su, she said in a reproachful tone: "Look at how much effort your young master has put into this."
Bai Su was both angry and aggrieved. She was angry that Concubine Xu's personal maid had acted dishonestly and turned the tables on her. She was heartbroken that the apple chips the young lady had worked so hard to make were wasted.
I was not convinced, "It was obviously her..."
"Bai Su." Wen Wanyu interrupted her with a serious expression, "Stop talking."
Bai Su's eyes were filled with tears. She could only swallow her reluctance.
"Since the apple chips are dirty, they are definitely inedible. I will make new ones when I return to Changlixuan and then send them to Your Majesty."
From beginning to end, Wen Wanyu kept smiling, her expression gentle, and her eyes as clear as water showed no ripples.
Concubine Xu was a little surprised. She had hoped to provoke her anger, but to her surprise, it failed.
He stepped forward and patted her shoulder: "It's okay."
"I have no idea how to discipline my servants. I have made Your Majesty laugh at me." Wen Wanyu smiled, but the smile was not yet gone from her eyes, and there was a sense of alienation in her movements.
Concubine Xu glanced at Bai Su and said, "She is also eager to protect her master. I can understand that."
"I'll go back first."
"Yes, I respectfully send your Majesty off." Leng Ning's gaze fell on Lin Fenyi's face.
Lin Fenyi subconsciously avoided her gaze, feeling that her eyes were dull, as dull as if they had no soul.
Bai Su tugged at Wen Wanyu's sleeve and said, "My lady, it's all my fault. It's all my fault."
Wen Wanyu smiled at her, his voice lazy and a little cold, "How can I blame you?"
"She came right for me. On purpose."
Bai Su said with regret: "My lady didn't even have the chance to taste the fruit chips before they were ruined like this."
"Yes." What a shameful waste!
Only a few meters away from Chengqian Palace, Wen Wanyu was waiting, waiting for someone to come out.
It must be said that Concubine Xu was only concerned with venting her anger and didn't care about the location at all. Several of the concubines gathered together and some "minor friction" occurred. Although it might not reach the emperor's ears.
But Li Dexian would at least have heard of it.
As long as Li Dexian knows, everything will be easy.
She squatted down and picked up the fruit chips that had fallen on the ground, one by one, very slowly.
I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure looking around in Chengqian Palace. I pinched my thigh hard and thought about all the sad things in my life.
A layer of mist appeared in his eyes.
Li Dexian walked over at a rapid speed. As he got closer, he heard her choked mumbling, "It's dirty. I can't eat it. I have to wait until next time to give it to the emperor."
"Hey, Master Wen, why are you squatting here? Get up quickly."
Seeing the few dirty apple chips left on the ground and the few remaining chips in the food box, combined with what the eunuch had just said, he immediately understood.
Wen Wanyu looked up at him and said in a hoarse voice, "Eunuch Li, why are you here? Oh, I was going to give it to the emperor, but I accidentally dropped it."
Only then did Li Dexian see her red eyes, and he was about to cry, feeling extremely helpless.
The emperor must have been heartbroken when he saw this.
"My dear, please don't pick it up. I will ask the servants to clean it up."
Wen Wanyu acted as if she hadn't heard him. She continued picking up the fruit chips, not minding the dirt at all. After she finished picking up the fallen fruit chips, she stood up and said, "Eunuch Li, I'll go back first."
Li Dexian sighed, Miss Wen is also a strong-willed person.
After returning to Chengqian Palace, he waited until noon, when the emperor had finished reviewing government affairs, before bringing up the matter.
Li Dexian carefully examined her expression and said, "Your Majesty, I just ran into Miss Wen outside Chengqian Palace."
Xie Junyao thought she was waiting outside and said, "Let her in." The corners of his lips rose slightly. It seemed that his last words were not in vain. She knew to come to Chengqian Palace on her own initiative.
Li Dexian was embarrassed: "Master Wen has gone back again..."
Xie Junyao looked at him: "Why?"
Li Dexian recounted what had just happened in Chengqian Palace. Naturally, he did not protect any party and told the story from the perspective of an observer.
Xie Junyao was silent for a moment: "She cried?"
Li Dexian said, "Your Majesty, I dare not stare at Miss Wen any longer. From the sound of her voice, she seems to be crying."
Xie Junyao knew she must be crying. In the past, whenever he used a little force in the CS or made her feel uncomfortable, she would whimper and cry.
Something I made myself was deliberately destroyed by someone.
Xie Junyao felt that Concubine Xu was becoming more and more arrogant. Was she trying to become the second Concubine Wan?
Lin Fenyi too.
"There's no need to add Lin Fenyi to the list of promotions for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in a while."
Li Dexian served the dishes: "Yes."
In the past three years, Lin Fenyi is afraid that she will not be able to advance.
Xie Junyao put down his chopsticks: "You're telling me what happened this morning now?"
Li Dexian's hands trembled, and he knelt on the ground, saying, "This servant is afraid of disturbing the emperor's official duties."
"Get up."
Li Dexian felt aggrieved, as no matter what he did, it was wrong.
