When Concubine Ning saw Song Jingyan, she was overjoyed and quickly knelt down to greet him, "May the emperor be blessed with good health."
Song Jingyan just said coldly, "Get up."
However, he glanced around the room and did not see Xu Chu.
He frowned unhappily, "Where's Xu Chu!"
"Xu Changzai said he was preparing the last dish."
"Yeah." Song Jingyan responded, but looking at the dishes on the table, they were completely different from the delicacies in the imperial kitchen in the past, which completely aroused his appetite.
He took a few bites, especially the refreshing radish, which was sour and sweet with a hint of spiciness.
Such an ordinary side dish, unexpectedly, becomes so delicious after being cooked by Xu Chu.
There is also this hand-shredded chicken, which is sweet and sour and delicious, especially the crisp cucumber.
Before he knew it, Song Jingyan had tried most of the dishes, but Xu Chu still didn't come out.
He raised his eyes unhappily, "Why hasn't Concubine Xu come out to see me yet?"
Concubine Ning originally sent Xu Chu to a side hall to rest, wanting to monopolize the emperor. However, she didn't expect that the emperor only kept talking about Xu Chu, which made her very unhappy.
It was fine that the Imperial Noble Consort took advantage of her yesterday, but today the newly appointed Concubine Ning came to take advantage of Xu Chu again.
"I will ask someone to call Concubine Xu over to serve the emperor."
Song Jingyan remembered that he only had feelings for Xu Chu, which gave him a headache.
He thought that the reason she didn't respond to the imperial concubines last night might be because the imperial concubines were a little older and frail. Although they were very beautiful, they were still a little old.
Concubine Ning is about the same age as Xu Chu, has a girlish air, and has never served him, so maybe things will be different.
"No need, my beloved concubine will serve me tonight."
When Concubine Ning heard this, a glint of joy flashed in her eyes.
She actually succeeded!
"Then I will help the emperor bathe and change his clothes."
Song Jingyan moved slightly closer to Concubine Ning and said slowly, "My dear, why don't we take a bath together?"
Concubine Ning lowered her head shyly, but still nodded shyly.
This made Song Jingyan in a very good mood and he felt very excited all over.
A few minutes later, Song Jingyan and Concubine Ning were in a bathtub.
Because the hot steam made Concubine Ning look particularly charming, Song Jingyan pulled Concubine Ning into his arms and said, "My beloved, where do you want to escape to?"
However, Song Jingyan and Concubine Ning had been playing for a long time, but his body was still quiet, and he seemed to be feeling a little excited.
This made him very unhappy!
He was most reluctant to admit that he was not capable, but judging from his current performance, he was indeed not capable.
Naturally, he wanted more concubines to give birth to a prince for him, so that he wouldn't have to hear the ministers' hypocritical advice every day.
If it can only be Xu Chusheng, then he doesn't mind sowing more seeds.
Song Jingyan stood up, looked at the pink Ning Fei in the bathtub, and said angrily, "Don't let Xu Changzai cook for you in the future."
Concubine Ning was completely confused. The emperor was fine just now, but he changed so suddenly.
It must be Xu Chu again!
Xu Chu, you and I are destined to be enemies.
But she couldn't let the emperor misunderstand her, so she quickly explained with tears in her eyes: "I just want to learn more about cooking from my sister Xu Changzai, and I have also obtained the permission of the Royal Concubine."
Song Jingyan just said lazily, "She has only one mission, and that is to give birth to a child for me. The rest has nothing to do with her."
After he left, he asked Eunuch Fu to inform the Imperial Concubine that Xu Chu was only responsible for giving birth to the child and cooking delicious food for him. Other matters had nothing to do with Xu Chu, and she would be exempted from all the red tape in the palace in the future.
As soon as he finished speaking, he came to the side hall and pushed open the door. He saw Xu Chu's hands wrapped in two bandages.
Why are you injured again?
"Xu Changzai, you are injured."
Xu Chu pretended to be secretive and immediately hid her hands behind her back, denying it: "No, I don't have it."
Song Jingyan's eyes darkened, and he immediately thought that she was injured while cooking.
"Are you injured in cooking?"
Xu Chu immediately shook her head and denied it: "I was burned accidentally, it has nothing to do with Concubine Ning."
"My lady, it was Concubine Ning who injured you. My lady, you are kind-hearted and you don't want to say that Concubine Ning bullied you, but seeing how aggrieved you are, I will stand up for you."
"And the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine have agreed to let the young lady go to the empresses of the various palaces to teach them how to make desserts. The young lady's position is a little low, but you can't bully her like this."
When Song Jingyan heard this, his face immediately darkened and he asked, "Xu Changzai, is this really true?"
"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case."
"But I am also idle, so I don't feel tired.
"My lady, you don't get any rest at night. You have to rest during the day. But after you teach them, you can't rest during the day either." Xiao Tao stood up for Xu Chu.
Xu Chu immediately lowered his voice, "Xiao Tao, you are not allowed to say this in front of the emperor."
After hearing this, Song Jingyan accepted the reality and let Xu Chu recuperate and give birth to a child as soon as possible.
"I understand. From now on, you don't have to worry about anything else. Just give me a child."
What!
Is this making her a sow?
"Your Majesty, would you like to try my suggestion? Perhaps then more sisters will give birth to children for Your Majesty."
Song Jingyan hesitated for a moment. He was initially very resistant. After all, he had seen many famous doctors and the results were all different.
"Tomorrow, there are more important things tonight."
As soon as Song Jingyan finished speaking, he immediately picked up Xu Chu.
"Your Majesty, where are we going?"
"Of course, we're going to the Ever-Warm Pool."
Eternal temperature pool?
What is this place?
At this time, the system's voice sounded, "Host, this is a hot spring, inside the Yongwen Palace."
"Soak in a hot spring."
"Host, do you think it would be as simple as taking a hot spring bath?"
Xu Chu's head buzzed, and he naturally thought of...
"Your Majesty, it's so late, let's not go."
Song Jingyan immediately refused, "No."
The little bit of water in the bathtub tonight didn't satisfy him at all.
Now he just wanted to soak in the hot spring with Xu Chu, and then...
As soon as he thought of this, his blood and energy surged throughout his body.
"Oh well."
But before they set off, Song Jingyan thought of something, "Eunuch Fu, Concubine Ning's intentions are impure, so she will be demoted to Concubine Ning."
When Xu Chu heard this, she realized that she had already defeated an opponent before she even fought.
Song Jingyan carried her into the sedan chair, then headed north to Yongwen Pool.
Song Jingyan dismissed his attendants and even asked Eunuch Fu to stand farther away and serve him.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid of water." Xu Chu pretended to stand outside the hot spring and didn't dare to go in, hoping to delay some time.
But Song Jingyan didn't waste any time. He just carried her up and then they both stepped into the hot spring together.
"My beloved, don't be afraid. I am here."
Xu Chu muttered in his heart, "It's dangerous when you're here."
