Chapter 178 Pretending to be deaf and dumb
It’s not that she hasn’t tried chili peppers before, but she really doesn’t like the taste. Now looking at this red color, she began to regret coming here at this time...
Seeing that she was slow to pick up her chopsticks, Lin Baoer pretended to be disappointed, "Does Concubine Yun not like to eat this?"
"No, no." Concubine Yun forced a smile, made up her mind, picked up a chopstick of fish meat and put it into her mouth.
As Lin Baoer said, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. If you exclude the extremely spicy taste, the taste of this fish is really good.
Almost at the moment of taking a bite, Concubine Yun blushed and said anxiously: "Water!"
The palace maid beside her quickly handed her water.
"Can't Concubine Yun eat spicy food?" Lin Baoer pretended to be surprised.
Although she guessed it, she added a lot just in case, but she didn't expect that Concubine Yun couldn't eat it at all.
Concubine Yun had to nod her head because of the pepper.
Seeing this, Lin Baoer had to pretend to be guilty and apologize, "I'm sorry, Concubine Yun, Baoer didn't know..."
In front of everyone, Concubine Yun couldn't argue with a child, so she could only say with red and swollen lips, "It's not a problem, I didn't mention it."
"It's also that I didn't expect that the fourth lady actually likes to eat peppers so much..."
Lin Baoer nodded obediently, "I like it very much, and I live on it every day."
Concubine Yun was heartbroken and decided not to come to this little guy at mealtime in the future.
Concubine Yun couldn't eat it, there was no way, Lin Baoer could only enjoy it all.
The fish was not very big to begin with. After eating it, Lin Baoer's cheeks turned red and she kept drinking water.
Although it was spicy, she still wanted to say: It tastes great!
She redeemed it for Orleans barbecue seasoning, which tastes much better than chili peppers. It seems that this Concubine Yun is not so lucky.
Seeing Lin Baoer touching her belly comfortably, Concubine Yun felt that the time was almost right, so she asked tentatively: "Doesn't the fourth lady miss her parents? You come to the palace alone at such a young age, and even cook your own meals. How pitiful."
Lin Baoer blinked and answered: "Yes, but there is no way. Baoer heard that the Empress and His Majesty love Baoer very much, so they let Baoer enter the palace to play for a while."
"Play?" Concubine Yun seized the word in her words and coaxed her, "Then do you think it is more fun in the palace or outside?"
Lin Baoer pretended to think, "Outside!"
"You can't go anywhere in the palace. It was the princess sister who brought Baoer here, otherwise I wouldn't know that you can go fishing here."
"If we were outside, Third Brother would take Baoer to various places to play, such as Shuiqinglou for delicious food, Wuyun Pavilion for rouge jewelry, or Baichun Garden for flowers... There are so many places to play."
"Yes." Concubine Yun pretended to understand her very well and said, "I used to be like you, but since I entered the palace, I can't go anywhere, and I can't even eat the cakes I want to eat anymore." Lin Baoer was curious
, "Then you can't leave the palace?"
Concubine Yun shook her head, hesitant to speak, "No, unless..."
"Unless what!"
Concubine Yun leaned over to her ear and whispered a few words.
It was probably that unless your family was strong or you could get the emperor's favor, you would have the opportunity to leave the palace.
Maybe she thought she didn't understand, so Concubine Yun said a lot without hesitation.
"So you see, Fourth Miss, life in the palace is really boring. Your parents sent you here like this, and I don't know what they were thinking."
Lin Baoer pretended to be ignorant and frowned, "But wasn't it the Emperor and the Empress who let Baoer enter the palace? What does this have to do with my parents?"
"Fourth Miss, you don't understand this. If your parents didn't agree, how could the Emperor and the Empress force you into the palace?"
"So..."
She said half of the words and left the other half, giving Lin Baoer enough room for imagination.
If it was an ordinary child, maybe she would think that her parents didn't value her, so she was thrown into the palace, and she might start crying and want to go back.
And outsiders knew how much the Lin family doted on this Fourth Miss Lin. If they found that she was not living well in the palace, they might be willing to rebel against the emperor for her.
Once the Lin family rebelled, the emperor was naturally displeased, and he had an excuse to control the Lin family.
Even if it was not for the purpose of controlling the Lin family, the final result must be that there would be a rift and resentment between the emperor and the Lin family.
No matter which one, it would benefit the other party.
As she thought more and more, Lin Baoer's expression became gloomy when she looked at Concubine Yun.
She wondered why this person came to her side for no reason, and it turned out that this was his purpose.
But even after guessing all this, Lin Baoer still couldn't figure out who this Concubine Yun belonged to.
The queen? Shen Ruyu? Or the emperor?
But no matter who it was, she would not let the other party succeed.
Before leaving, Lin Baoer deliberately showed a dazed and aggrieved look in front of Concubine Yun, just to make her think that she had succeeded.
After returning to Changqing Palace, she wanted to return to normal, but then she thought, she could use this as an opportunity to take
advantage of the situation? She might even be able to lure the emperor over.
Just do it!
In order to make herself look convincing, Lin Baoer cried all night and cried herself to have a fever.
Of course, she didn't really have a fever from crying, but she deliberately took a medicine that could temporarily cause the symptoms of a fever.
I have to praise the system mall here, which even has such strange medicine.
And with so many eyes in Changqing Palace, what happened tonight will spread quickly.
In the early morning, the imperial physician hurried in from the Imperial Hospital, followed by the empress and other concubines.
Looking at the people in the room, Lin Baoer curled the corners of her mouth.
All the people she knew and didn't know came, making it seem like she was gone.
"Doctor Li, how is Bao'er?" the queen asked worriedly.
"Miss Lin Si has a fever and cold. She was exhausted and frightened, which caused the fever. Take good care of yourself and take some medicine and you'll be fine."
The Queen sighed, then turned to look sternly at the maids in Changqing Palace, and asked in reproach: "How did you serve?! What happened to scare Baoer like this?!"
Concubine Yun, who was standing on the other side, lowered her eyes and hid the curve of her lips.
Cuiyun and other personal maids knelt on the ground and explained: "We don't know, but the fourth lady has been like this since she came back from outside today. She first kept saying that she was not feeling well and kept crying, then she started vomiting, and then she had a high fever."
"Outside? Where did she go today?" The Queen frowned.
Concubine Yun's expression froze, and she began to feel uneasy.
What's wrong with this girl? Is she crying because she is not feeling well? Did she turn a deaf ear to what she said?
"The fourth young lady went fishing in Jinnan Lake today, and then ate grilled fish that the fourth young lady personally grilled with... Concubine Yun."
