Bai Susu like this gave her a sense of crisis, so she has been studying spices very hard recently. However, since she was new to it, she didn't know how to control the quantity well, and her taste was average, which led to the current situation of too much.
Emperor Xuan Jing was already feeling very dizzy, and now his mood was even worse. He frowned, not even glancing at Concubine Hui, his eyes still fixed on the memorial in his hand, and said, "Put it there."
Concubine Hui paused. She had already said that she had stewed this dish herself, but the emperor remained indifferent. She felt a little bitter in her heart.
However, it is absolutely impossible for her to give up just like that.
She picked up the spoon with her delicate hands, stirred the lotus seed soup a few times, and handed it to Emperor Xuan Jing, saying softly, "Your Majesty, look, the lotus seeds in this soup were peeled by our Jia'er. Lotus seeds clear away heat and detoxify, and are a good thing. When Jia'er heard that I wanted to make soup for my father, she insisted on peeling the lotus seeds, and I couldn't persuade her to stop."
Sure enough, when Emperor Xuan Jing heard that the lotus seeds were peeled by He Jia, his eyes moved, and he immediately put down the memorial and his eyes fell on the bowl of soup.
The bowl of soup was crystal clear, and there were indeed a few round and plump tender white lotus seeds in it. Seeing these lotus seeds, Emperor Xuan Jing couldn't help but think of He Jia's soft and lovely appearance.
"Oh? Jiaer is so young, how could she peel lotus seeds?" He leaned back in his chair and said casually.
Although he was careless, his mind was already drawn to the princess.
Concubine Hui was delighted, and the smile on her face became even more radiant. She replied to the emperor with a smile: "Your Majesty is right. She is still young and peels the lotus seeds without any method. She just does it haphazardly. But this is also a filial act of the princess, isn't it? While she was peeling the lotus seeds, she kept calling for father."
Seeing Emperor Xuan Jing's expression becoming softer, Concubine Hui couldn't help but feel complacent.
No matter what, the emperor loves his princess very much, and she is invincible in the palace.
Emperor Xuan Jing is not only an emperor, but also a father. Not to mention that he only has Princess Baohua as his only child, so naturally he loves the princess very much.
This is also the reason why he has always favored Concubine Hui. Although Concubine Hui has a bad temper and not much talent, she is the princess's biological mother after all. He gave Concubine Hui respect, so others did not dare to treat him and Jia poorly.
Thinking of He Jia's cute appearance, Emperor Xuan Jing finally picked up the small bowl and began to taste it spoonful by spoonful.
There was nothing new about it. Most of these soups were drunk by the concubines in the palace, so they were a bit sweet for Emperor Xuan Jing.
Seeing the emperor begin to savor the food, Concubine Hui began to chatter again, "Our Jia'er has learned to write a few words. I wonder if the emperor is interested in taking a look?"
Ever since Concubine Hui came to the Imperial Study, Emperor Xuan Jing had guessed what Concubine Hui was up to. Today was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and he would not deny the Empress her face.
But it was true that he hadn't seen the princess for a long time.
"I will go to Zhaoyang Palace for dinner, you may leave."
Concubine Hui felt a little disappointed. The emperor had specifically mentioned dinner, so naturally he wouldn't be staying overnight in Zhaoyang Palace...
She sighed inwardly and comforted herself that she would eventually come to her own Zhaoyang Palace first. Thinking of this, she took her leave.

After the imperial concubine left, Emperor Xuan Jing couldn't calm down for some reason. He felt a little irritated, pinched his brows, and said to Wang Fuhai, "Go check what happened today."
Although the queen is the master of the six palaces, the emperor cannot be completely ignorant of the affairs of the harem.
Concubine Hui was acting so abnormally today, obviously something had happened.
