The soup was finally ready before lunch
Ye Jinyun asked Yin Zhu to serve some to Lin Qingtang and the others, then put the rest in a soup bowl and took Qing'er to the imperial study.
…
In the Imperial Study
Mo Qiyuan was listening to his confidant's report about the Chu family accepting bribes from court officials and secretly recruiting soldiers.
He pursed his lips slightly, his eyes icy cold and full of murderous intent.
The Chu family is really ambitious. Do they think he doesn't know what they are planning? In that case, he doesn't mind playing along with them.
"Be careful first, don't alert the enemy, I want to see how capable they are."
"Yes, I obey your command."
…
Ye Jinyun came to the outside of the imperial study and saw guards guarding the gate. She was about to ask someone to help her pass on a message.
Chen Fuquan, who had been waiting outside the hall, spotted her first and approached her with a smile on his face.
"Mrs. Yun Zhaoyi, why are you here?"
Ye Jinyun knew him. He was the emperor's personal eunuch, and his surname seemed to be Chen. He immediately said to him politely:
"Eunuch Chen, is the emperor in there? I have cooked some nourishing soup for the emperor and brought it to him."
Chen Fuquan's eyes lit up and the smile on her face deepened. The emperor was so infatuated with her, and he was indeed a good man.
"My dear, please wait a moment. The Emperor is discussing something with someone. I will go and pass the message on for you."
Ye Jinyun bowed slightly to him and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Eunuch Chen."
Chen Fuquan smiled and nodded at her, feeling very satisfied with her.
Entering the hall cautiously, Chen Fuquan saw that the emperor's face was not very good. He paused slightly and then spoke softly:
"Your Majesty, Yun Zhaoyi is here. She said she made some soup herself and sent it to you to nourish your body."
Mo Qiyuan's originally sinister expression instantly disappeared after he heard what Chen Fuquan had conveyed.
A hint of warmth appeared on his face: "Let her in."
"Hmm."
He looked at his confidant who was still in the hall and waved his hand to let him go.
…
Ye Jinyun waited outside the hall for a while, and then Chen Fuquan came out and said with a smile that the emperor invited her in.
Ye Jinyun hurriedly took Qing'er and followed him in, just as they were about to step over the threshold.
At this time, a young man came out of the hall and bumped into her head-on. Ye Jinyun quickly lowered her head and turned sideways, signaling him to go first.
When Wei Lingfeng heard that the emperor wanted to see the concubines, he immediately tactfully withdrew and happened to meet Ye Jinyun when he came out.
Thinking of how the emperor's originally tense face suddenly smiled when he heard she was coming, she couldn't help but look at her again.
…
Although she lowered her head, her graceful figure could not be concealed. For a moment he was a little dazed.
But he came to his senses immediately, realizing that he had just been rude, and bowed to her and said:
"My lord, please go first."
Ye Jinyun also took a look at him and thought, well, this man is quite handsome and has a righteous air. He must be a loyal minister of the emperor.
He lowered his eyes and bowed to him: "Thank you, sir."
A pleasant voice came out of her mouth, and Wei Lingfeng knew why the emperor liked her so much.
Not only is she beautiful but she is also humble and polite. The emperor is naturally delighted to have such a beauty by his side.
Seeing that she had entered the hall, Wei Lingfeng put his thoughts aside and turned to leave.
…
Entering the hall, Ye Jinyun saw the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, looking at something. When he heard her footsteps coming in, he looked up and smiled at her.
Ye Jinyun immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Your concubine pays her respects to the emperor."
"No need to be so polite, Yun'er, get up quickly."
Mo Qiyuan raised his hand to her and continued, "I heard from Chen Fuquan that Yun'er made some soup for me. Bring it to me for a taste."
After Ye Jinyun stood up and heard this, she immediately waved to Qing'er who was following behind her, took the soup bowl from her hand, and came to the emperor.
Chen Fuquan immediately signaled the young eunuch beside him to go up and test for the poison, but Mo Qiyuan waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary.
"Your Majesty, this..."
Chen Fuquan spoke nervously, "The Emperor trusts Yun Zhaoyi too much. Isn't he afraid that she will poison the soup?"
"It's okay. I believe Yun'er won't harm me."
She didn't need to poison him because her own blood could detoxify him, so it would be unnecessary for her to poison him.
He still remembered that when she bled him to detoxify him, she was very afraid of pain, so anyone could have poisoned him, but she definitely wouldn't.
Ye Jinyun was a little touched. She didn't expect that the emperor would trust her so much that he didn't even need to test for poison.
The voice became softer:
"Your Majesty, thank you for trusting me so much. This is a nourishing soup I made. Please try it and see if it tastes good."
After saying that, he placed the soup bowl on the table in front of him, opened the lid, scooped out a bowl and handed it to him.
Mo Qiyuan took it and tasted it carefully.
Well, this soup is cooked to perfection, with a long aftertaste and tastes good.
He looked at her with appreciation, drank the whole bowl, and asked her to serve him another bowl.
Seeing this, Ye Jinyun served him another bowl with a sweet smile.
After two bowls of delicious soup, Mo Qiyuan felt relaxed all over. "I didn't expect Yun'er to have such good cooking skills. I'm really surprised."
Ye Jinyun was in a good mood. It seemed that she had successfully established herself as a virtuous wife, the second step in her strategy to win over the emperor.
So she replied shyly:
"Your Majesty, thank you for your compliment. It's just that I used to have nothing to do in my boudoir all day, so I loved to study these things from books."
"Oh~ then my Yun'er is really knowledgeable and talented," he said while looking at her face meaningfully.
