An hour later, Leng Hong walked out of Ganxiao Palace in high spirits and went to Qinzheng Palace to handle government affairs in high spirits.
Su Wanti was lying in the bedroom to rest.
She was covered with a thin silk quilt, revealing her round and smooth shoulders. Her bare white skin was dotted with red marks, like blooming red plums.
My wrists are so sore, I should have asked someone to come and apply some cold compresses.
But she was too tired, and it was also a sleepy period, so she didn't call anyone to deal with it, and rubbed her wrist in a daze.
I fell asleep while rubbing it.
When she woke up, it was already dark and evening.
The sun sets and the bright moon rises. The western sky is still covered with clouds, while the eastern sky is already twinkling with stars.
Leng Hong was still in the Qinzheng Palace, discussing government affairs with several ministers, so he sent Kang Yu to the Ganxiao Palace to deliver a letter, telling Su Wanti to have dinner by herself and not to wait for him, so as not to starve herself.
Su Wanti got up lazily, and with the help of Qingzhi and others, after a quick wash, she sat at the table to enjoy dinner.
Just as I was using it, I saw Aunt Qiao bringing people over.
Aunt Qiao's face was full of smiles.
"Empress Wan, today the Empress Dowager tried a bowl of soup called Lotus Leaf Soup. It's made by finely shredding fresh lotus leaves that have just sprouted and then stewing them in chicken broth mixed with minced chicken. It tastes sweet and refreshing."
"The Empress Dowager was worried that Concubine Wan would lose her appetite due to the hot weather, so she specially asked the small kitchen in the Cining Palace to make this lotus leaf soup to stimulate Concubine Wan's appetite."
As she spoke, she took out the lotus leaf soup from the food box and placed it in front of Su Wanti.
The lotus leaf soup was served in a white jade bowl. The lotus leaves in the bowl were tender green and fragrant, and the soup was amber in color with a fresh aroma.
Su Wanti picked up the white jade bowl and sniffed it gently. It was indeed fragrant and whetted her appetite.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty the Queen Mother. You always think of me. I am deeply honored and very happy." She smiled sweetly and comfortably.
Su Wanti winked at Qingzhi again, and Qingzhi understood and handed a heavy purse to Aunt Qiao.
"Thank you for making this special trip, Madam Qiao. This little token of my appreciation is just like treating you to tea."
Nanny Qiao refused at first, then accepted it with a smile. Her attitude towards Su Wanti also became more respectful.
Seeing that Aunt Qiao still had no intention of leaving, Su Wanti understood that Aunt Qiao had something to say to her.
However, she now lives in Ganxiao Palace. Except for Qingzhi, Ai Ye and a few others who were originally from Weiyang Palace, the others are from Ganxiao Palace. They are all Leng Hong's people.
Then her every move was under Leng Hong's surveillance.
Su Wanti lowered her head, holding a thin white porcelain spoon, gently stirring the lotus leaf soup, and the amber light danced under her fingertips.
After a moment, she said to Aunt Qiao, "Aunt Qiao, please wait a moment. I'll ask Qingzhi to take you back."
She turned to Qingzhi and said:
"Qingzhi, the emperor gave me a few pieces of brocade yarn the other day. I remember one piece was royal blue, which is exactly the color that Madam Qiao likes. Please pick it out and send it to Madam Qiao."
When they were in Weiyang Palace, Qingzhi, Ai Ye and others were conquered by Su Wanti. They knew that in the entire harem, only by following Su Wanti, the concubine, could they rise step by step, so they were very loyal to her.
Qingzhi was very smart. After Su Wanti finished speaking, she understood what she meant. She quickly brought the royal blue brocade gauze and smiled as she sent Madam Qiao back to the Cining Palace.
After Qingzhi came back, she served Su Wanti as usual.
When she found a place where no one was around, she quietly reported to Su Wanti.
"Madame Qiao said that the Empress has been visiting the Cining Palace frequently lately to pay her respects. And from what she's said, it seems she's thinking of taking your prince there to raise."
Su Wanti sneered several times, "The Queen is really wishful thinking."
If she were a concubine of a very low rank, the empress would have thought of this, but she had already held the position of concubine and could call herself "this palace". Moreover, she was in the emperor's favor, and among all the concubines in the harem, she was the most favored.
In such a situation, the queen still had the idea of snatching other people's children. She was really arrogant and conceited.
Su Wanti sneered several times, and for the first time, her eyes were filled with a bone-chilling coldness.
She would not allow anyone to covet her children, snatch her children away, or use her children as playthings to win favor or as tools to consolidate her status.
If anyone tries to touch her child or hurt her child, she will make that person be torn to pieces and live a life worse than death.
Although she doesn't have many people available, she has the system to help her!
Su Wanti's eyes were gloomy. It seemed that she had to ask the system about the queen's situation and plan for the future.
————
On the second day, the Shangyi Bureau sent someone to deliver Su Wanti's summer clothes.
Rows of young palace maids filed in, holding all kinds of summer clothes and skirts in their hands.
Qingzhi and Ai Ye unfolded their dresses one by one and let Su Wanti take a look.
Su Wanti leaned comfortably on the couch, eating cherries and watching. She moved her fingers lightly, swiping to the left meant she liked it and wanted to stay.
Swipe right to say you don’t like it and take it away.
After choosing for a long time, there were only a few dresses left. The young palace maids were waiting with their heads down, holding trays.
Su Wanti was also tired of watching, so she waved her hand and asked Ai Ye and Qing Zhi to stop so that she could rest first.
She felt tired after sitting for a long time, so she stood up with the help of the palace maids and paced around the palace, holding her waist.
She walked slowly, her eyes following her footsteps, falling lightly on various places.
When she walked up to the palace maids from the clothing department, her eyes fell lightly on their clothes.
