Chapter 397: The Stunning Flower Demon in the Palace Fighting Novel (10)
When Su Yu put on her clothes and went out, she was greeted with sympathetic and compassionate looks one after another. Even Fu An looked at her and sighed.
Fuan whispered, "Don't be sad, young lady. When you give birth to a prince or princess in the future, His Majesty may not be unsympathetic."
Considering that Su Yu was the first woman favored by His Majesty, Fu'an didn't mind buying her a good one. It only took a little effort to talk after all.
Su Yu was at a loss: "...Oh."
Xiao Yan was having lunch and Su Yu was standing beside him serving him food.
Although she was actually the emperor's woman, she was still a palace maid in name, and Xiao Yan had no intention of pitying her, which made the other palace maids sympathize with Su Yu even more.
"I'll ask you one last time, do you really not want to enter the harem as a concubine?"
Su Yu picked up a piece of well-disguised ginger with chopsticks for him.
"No matter how many times your majesty asks, I will always answer as before. I just want to stay by your majesty's side, even if I can only be a lowly maid."
Xiao Yan ate the piece of ginger without any precautions. He slowly stopped chewing, but due to his upbringing it would be impolite to spit it out, so he could only swallow it whole.
He quickly drank a mouthful of soup to suppress the taste at the root of his tongue, and Xiao Yan's face was stiff: "Go down, let Fu An come and serve."
Su Yu suppressed her laughter.
For some unknown reason, Xiao Yan was so kind that he allowed her a day off, allowing her to have a good rest and serve the emperor again the next day.
Although Su Yu didn't need it.
The first-class palace maid had a separate room. Not long after she returned to her room, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
As soon as the door was opened, a series of palace servants came in carrying delicacies. The small square table was instantly filled up, even with two layers of food stacked on top. One could tell at a glance that these dishes were imperial meals.
After the meal was served, the leading maid said respectfully, "Young lady, this is the imperial meal bestowed by His Majesty."
Su Yu felt that Xiao Yan wanted to starve her to death.
But Xiao Yan still has some humanity.
Su Yu wanted to steal the dragon energy, but in the eyes of outsiders, including Xiao Yan, she, a weak woman, was the one who suffered the loss.
Su Yu didn't need anyone to serve her, so she found an excuse to send them all away and then released the system.
"Eat it."
Looking at the table full of imperial food, the system's eyes lit up: [Host, you are so kind. ]
Su Yu is a flower demon. She doesn't need to eat. She only needs to drink dew to practice. This table of food is a bargain for the system.
Purple Palace.
Without the little palace maid who always got scolded by his side, Xiao Yan always felt like something was missing.
Fu An saw through it and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, would you like me to call Miss Su over?"
Xiao Yan frowned: "No need."
He approved the leave with his own mouth. It was a golden word. How could he take it back just like that?
Fu'an was tactful and said no more.
When he was halfway through reviewing the memorial, a young eunuch suddenly announced, "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhang wants to see you."
Xiao Yan said without hesitation: "No."
The young eunuch took the order and went out, but came back in a moment later: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhang said that she made the soup herself. I hope Your Majesty can let her bring the soup in before leaving."
Xiao Yan was already in a bad mood, and said in annoyance: "I said I won't see you, don't you understand? Next time, you don't have to come in, leave with her and find another job."
The young eunuch was so frightened that he almost lost his soul: "Your Majesty, spare my life. I will go out and report to Lady Zhang right away."
Outside the hall, a woman looked inside expectantly.
Although Lady Zhang is a beauty by rank, her appearance is the least worthy of the title of beauty in the harem. Outside the palace, she is still okay and can be called a pretty girl, but in the harem full of beauties, she is not good enough.
That's why she wants to seize the initiative.
Otherwise, how could Your Majesty still be able to look at her after having seen other beautiful concubines?
Seeing the young eunuch coming out, Concubine Zhang went to greet him and asked, "What did your Majesty say?"
The young eunuch said carefully, "Your Majesty, please go back. Your Majesty is busy with government affairs right now, and I'm afraid you won't have the chance to drink the chicken soup you cooked."
Concubine Zhang was disappointed and asked again, "When will Your Majesty be free?"
The young eunuch lowered his head and said, "I don't know."
Concubine Zhang bit her lip and could only leave reluctantly, comforting herself that since His Majesty had favored a palace maid, it was only a matter of time before he would favor a palace concubine.
"I'll come back tomorrow."
The young eunuch said nothing, just sighed and said, "If the emperor doesn't want to see you, it's useless no matter how many times you come."
Concubine Zhang came with chicken soup and left with the same chicken soup, without even a hair of Xiao Yan being seen.
Suddenly, the maidservant beside Lady Zhang pointed at a figure not far away and said, "Look, madam, is that Miss Su Yu who is beside His Majesty?"
If we were to ask who Concubine Zhang hated the most, it would be Su Yu.
In other words, she could not accept it if anyone of lower status than her was favored before her.
Looking at the receding figure, Lady Zhang showed contempt: "You are a lowly palace maid. You only received favor for once, and you really thought you had flown into the royal palace. In the end, you are still a palace maid. It's all in vain. A pheasant is just a pheasant. It can never become a phoenix."
These words were overheard by the eunuch who had not yet entered the hall.
The young eunuch had a subtle expression. If His Majesty said that he didn't like Miss Su Yu, it was pure nonsense. If he didn't like her, would he favor her? If he didn't like her, would he let her sleep on the dragon bed until noon? If he didn't like her, would he personally give her imperial meals?
But Your Majesty has not issued an edict to confer the title.
The young eunuch was cautious and kept this in mind. He called the maid next to him and asked, "Where is Miss Su?"
The maid replied: "The girl said she wanted to go for a stroll in the Imperial Garden."
The young eunuch rolled his eyes twice, thinking that his chance had come, he walked into the hall, bowed and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhang has gone back."
Without raising his head, Xiao Yan squeezed out a "hmm" from his nose.
"There is one more thing..." The young eunuch pretended to hesitate, but did not dare to hesitate too long. When Xiao Yan's gaze fell on him, he quickly repeated what Concubine Zhang had just said.
The young eunuch repeated the story while observing Xiao Yan's expression, and finished his words while suppressing his trembling.
Xiao Yan's expression became increasingly cold, and a spot of ink from the tip of the brush gradually spread across the paper.
When Su Yu did not want to enter the harem as a concubine, Xiao Yan had anticipated this situation, so he repeatedly asked her if she had thought it through, giving her a chance to regret.
I never thought that someone would dare to speak such bad words in the Purple Palace.
The young eunuch knelt on the ground trembling with fear, praying that his bet would win.
He took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Lady Zhang's words not only slander Miss Su, but also question the authority of heaven. If you don't restrain her, more and more people will question your majesty's decision in the future."
Xiao Yan stared at him for a while, then chuckled, "That makes sense."
Not long after, an imperial decree came from the Purple Palace, stating that Concubine Zhang had questioned the authority of heaven and had rude words and deeds, so she was confined to her room for two months and given ten slaps in the face.
Before the young eunuch finished speaking, he continued, "I just saw Miss Su going to the Imperial Garden alone. Miss Su is weak and outnumbered. If she meets a narrow-minded person, she might be bullied."
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed: "Send someone to follow."
The young eunuch replied, "Yes."
Before he could stand up, a gust of wind suddenly blew past him. He turned around and saw that His Majesty had walked out of the hall without him noticing.
"Forget it, I'll go and see for myself."
