When the emperor came to Qixiang Palace, Nanchun and the others had gone from being trembling with fear and ecstasy at the beginning to being calm now.
After all, the master is now "quite favored". If you don't believe me, go and look through the books of the Jingshifang and see if the concubines in this harem can compare with her master's?
Bai Susu was not very sensitive to her favor, only because Tongzi told her that Emperor Xuan Jing's favorability towards her was now 45%. After serving the emperor diligently for so long, it had only increased by five percentage points.
Bai Susu couldn't help but sigh that it was so difficult to gain the emperor's favorability, so she still had to cheer up.

Before Emperor Xuan Jing arrived, Eunuch Wang had sent someone to say that Emperor Xuan Jing would have his meal in Qixiang Hall.
This is what it means to let Bai Susu order the dishes.
Even the shrewd eunuch Wang could see that the emperor came to Qixiang Palace frequently because, firstly, he liked Concubine Bai, and secondly, he liked the dishes ordered by Concubine Bai.
You know, the emperor doesn't care much about food. Sometimes he is so busy that he even forgets to eat or eats very little.
Every time at this time, Wang Fuhai would rack his brains to discuss with the imperial kitchen what dishes to serve to the emperor.
Basically the effect is not very good.
But ever since he ate that bowl of hot and sour crystal noodles in Qixiang Palace, Wang Fuhai discovered that Emperor Xuan Jing ate extra food when he was with Concubine Bai in Qixiang Palace.
Well, this made Wang Fuhai discover a new world. Since it concerns the emperor's health, whoever is capable will take over.
If Bai Susu knew that she had become Wang Fuhai's official food ordering machine, she would probably be very embarrassed.
In fact, Bai Susu didn't do anything special. She always ordered her favorite dishes, plus the dishes she thought Emperor Xuan Jing "liked" - her main guess came from observing which dishes Emperor Xuan Jing took a few more bites of.
The main reason is that she herself cares particularly about the issue of "eating". In her opinion, food is the first necessity of people, and eating is the top priority. People are happy when they eat happily.
So she often communicated with Deng Sanguan about developing new dishes, and Deng Sanguan was an excellent cook, so none of his dishes were bad.

For Emperor Xuan Jing, it is not so much that he likes the dishes ordered by Bai Susu, but rather that he likes Bai Susu's heart for him more.
The emperor's food preferences naturally could not be announced casually, but he had eaten to his heart's content every time he came to Qixiang Palace. Emperor Xuan Jing thought that in addition to the fact that the young noble lady enjoyed the food beside him, it was also because Bai Susu had observed his preferences and kept them in mind.
Since getting along with Bai Susu, he knew that Bai Susu was not a person who was meticulous and careful about every detail. On the contrary, she was very lazy, so sometimes she would meet the emperor without putting on makeup or combing her hair.
But precisely because of this, this trickle of concern is even more touching.
In the ninth heaven, true love is hard to come by.
Even if it's just a little bit, it's worth cherishing.

Emperor Xuan Jing arrived early today, and after dinner, he still had plenty of time before going to bed.
Bai Susu looked at the chessboard on the couch, her eyes sly, and said, "Your Majesty, it's still early. How about playing a game of chess with me?"
Emperor Xuan Jing was perceptive and had naturally seen the chessboard placed there a long time ago. He was a master of chess and was naturally not afraid of playing against others. Moreover, it was still early, so playing chess was a good way to pass the time.
However, seeing Bai Susu looking fearless like a little fox, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Did Susu really think she could win him over?
His face remained expressionless. When Bai Susu saw Emperor Xuan Jing nodded, she winked at Nanchun, and Nanchun and other palace maids quickly cleaned up the chessboard and the couch.
He also brewed a cup of fragrant tea for Emperor Xuan Jing and Bai Susu and placed it beside them.
Just as he was about to light incense in the incense burner, Emperor Xuan Jing waved his hand and said, "No need."
Nanchun was startled, paused what he was doing, then retreated with lowered brows and eyes.
Bai Susu looked at the chess pieces at hand, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she smiled and said: "Your Majesty, just playing chess is boring. Why don't we do something fun?"
Emperor Xuan Jing raised his eyebrows, his interest piqued by Bai Susu, and said, "Oh? My beloved concubine, do you have any good suggestions?"
Bai Susu got up from the bed, put on her slippers and went to the bedside. After searching for a while, she took out a small box.
When I opened it, I saw it was full of silver nuggets, which were squeezed together and looked very cute.
Emperor Xuan Jing looked at the box of silver coins, and suddenly a rather absurd idea emerged in his mind. Could it be that Su Su wanted to gamble with him?
Sure enough, her idea was confirmed. Bai Susu put the money box between the two of them and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we use silver as chips? Whoever loses the game of chess must give the other the corresponding silver. Of course, if Your Majesty has no money on hand, then I will give you half first." But if you lose it all, you will have to pay for it yourself.
Although these words were not spoken out loud, Emperor Xuan Jing understood them strangely.
He felt a little amused. Could it be that Bai Susu really thought she could win money from him?
He was gifted and had learned from the famous Go player Guo Bailing. At the age of eighteen, he was already hard to find an opponent.
However, although the little nobleman is silly, he is quite cute.
