Chapter 31 As long as my sister likes it
The sedan chair came all the way to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The Queen Mother stopped Wang Decai who was about to report and walked straight in.
Everything is normal in the palace.
Ambergris has a very strong aroma and no other smell.
"Mother, why are you here?" Zhang Chengyan stood up to greet her. "Wang Decai, why didn't you inform me?"
Wang Decai smiled bitterly and didn't dare to explain in front of the two huge Buddhas. He had to bear the pain by himself!
"Emperor, I have something to ask you. Why did Lady Bai leave your Yangxin Palace?"
Zhang Chengyan remained calm and smiled faintly, "Mother, I asked Lady Bai to come here."
The Queen Mother stood up suddenly, "What! You... As the emperor, how can you commit adultery in broad daylight! What will happen if the civil and military officials find out?"
"Mother, in your eyes, this is who I am?" Zhang Chengyan's smile disappeared, and the teacup in his hand fell heavily. "I asked Lady Bai to come here, but I just wanted to eat the pine nut and lily cake she made."
The Queen Mother sat down angrily. She had been too extreme just now. There was nothing she could do. She was solely concerned about the heir to the throne and absolutely could not make any mistakes.
Otherwise, how could she, as the empress dowager, think of ways to guard against a little beauty and prevent her from getting close to the emperor.
"I didn't think so, it's just..."
"It's just that your Majesty the Queen doesn't believe me. She thinks I'm the kind of person who commits adultery in broad daylight!" Zhang Chengyan answered for her, with a hint of dissatisfaction between his brows.
The empress dowager thought about it carefully and felt that Zhang Chengyan was indeed not such a person. He worked hard to govern the country and always abided by the rules even when he went to the harem. It was she who did something wrong today.
She had no choice but to change the subject. "If the emperor wants to eat the lily cake, just ask the imperial kitchen to make it. What can Lady Bai do?"
"What she cooks is indeed different from what the imperial kitchen makes, otherwise I wouldn't have specially asked her to deliver it."
Zhang Chengyan changed the subject and asked, "How about the troupe? Does the Queen Mother like it?"
The Queen Mother smiled and narrowed her eyes. "It is indeed good, especially the actor, who is not much worse than those in the palace."
"As long as your Majesty likes it, I'm glad. I still have memorials to review, so I won't keep you here."
The Queen Mother stood up and said, "The Emperor is working hard to govern the country, so he should rest more. I will ask Lady Bai to write down the prescription and send it to the imperial kitchen to avoid her disturbing you."
After saying that, she walked out of the Yangxin Palace and asked, "Wang Decai, how did the emperor get to eat the lily cake made by Lady Bai?"
Wang Decai had heard the conversation inside, and his eyes rolled. "Empress Dowager, this is all my fault. A young eunuch told me that the lily cakes made by Lady Bai tasted very good. I saw that the emperor had a poor appetite, so I took the initiative to ask someone to get some. I will definitely not dare to do it again in the future."
The Queen Mother glared at him fiercely, "If you dare to act on your own again, I will definitely punish you!"
"Yes, I dare not."
"Hmph, let's go."
Wang De breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two men walk away. Hearing Zhang Chengyan calling him, he hurried in and served the next big Buddha, "Your Majesty, I am here!"
"Go back and tell the troupe to hurry up. I don't want to wait any longer."
"Yes, I will inform him tonight and ask him to hurry up."
Zhang Chengyan waved his hand, "You go down too, I want to be quiet for a while."
——
"Bai Wutong came out of the Yangxin Palace?" In Tianxiang Garden, Wen Chuyun tightly grasped the handkerchief, "Even I have never stepped into the Yangxin Palace, but she went there without ever sleeping with him."
She thought about what happened last night and felt a surge of anger rising in her heart.
To outsiders, it seemed that she had spent the night with the emperor and was favored.
Look, not long after she came back, Concubine Rong sent her the so-called reward.
Just in case, she asked Cuiwei to check carefully.
Cuiwei was familiar with some pharmacology and quickly found out that one of the things contained safflower.
It seems that Concubine Rong has set her sights on her.
Other concubines also sent gifts over one after another. They expressed their gratitude, but they were probably jealous to death in their hearts.
Things were not going well for him and he became the target of public criticism, but Bai Wutong entered the Palace of Tranquil Longevity easily. I'm afraid that even if Concubine Rong and others knew about it, they would not take it to heart.
They have long been blinded by this world, not knowing that sometimes different things are the most attractive!
"Cuiwei, spread the news that Lady Bai went to the Yangxin Palace. It would be best if all the concubines in the palace knew about it. Take the piece of cloth soaked in safflower that Concubine Rong gave you as a reward, and come with me to Xueqiong Garden!"
Along the way, Wen Chuyun suppressed his anger and made himself look no different from usual.
Bai Wutong has moved here for quite some time, but this is her first time to visit Xueqiongyuan.
Just looking at the doorway, it looks much better than her Tianxiangyuan.
Although he was favored by the emperor, he was not promoted in rank and did not move to a new palace.
Bai Wutong did nothing, but he was so lucky.
Wen Chuyun forced a smile and stepped into the door, "Sister Wutong, I'm here to see you."
Bai Wutong had already received the news and came out to greet him, "Sister Wen served you all night yesterday, why didn't you take a good rest?"
"I suddenly missed you, so I came to see you."
Wen Chuyun signaled the maid to bring the cloth.
Bai Wutong took it personally, held it in his arms, and stroked it carefully, "This fabric is really good. I envy Sister Wen so much for being able to get so many good things. I am like a transparent person in this palace. But the emperor likes to eat the pine nut and lily cake I made. Sister Wen, I will give you the recipe, you can make it for the emperor, and he will definitely love you more."
After saying that, she asked Lianxin to hand her the prescription, inadvertently revealing the pink sachet on her waist.
Wen Chuyun took it with a smile, "How can I be so embarrassed?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. Sister Wen is the only person in the palace who treats me well. Unlike others, they all treat me like air and ignore me. Even the emperor has never looked at me more than once." Bai Wutong laughed at himself, "I can forget about being favored in this life. I just hope that Sister Wen will be favored in the future and protect me more."
Seeing that she spoke with such sincerity, Wen Chuyun felt a little relieved.
From this perspective, Bai Wutong doesn't seem to have any scheming intentions. But then again, he grew up in a Taoist temple and has never experienced the deep mansions and intrigues of large houses, so how could he have any scheming intentions?
Especially since Bai Wutong is still holding the cloth, he really has no guard at all.
"Sister Wutong, you are so good to me and gave me the recipe. I will definitely treat you well." Wen Chuyun asked the maid to take out a set of ready-made clothes. "I made this set of clothes specially for Sister Wutong. Would you like to try it on?"
Bai Wutong then put down the cloth, with a look of surprise on her face, "Is this Jinhua satin? Sister Wen, this is too expensive."
"It's not expensive. Sister Wutong is the only person I can talk to in this palace. Go ahead and give it a try."
"Thank you very much, Sister Wen." Bai Wutong walked into the room with clothes in his hand, smiling.
After a while, she came out changed her clothes.
Although the dress is a bit big, the fabric is good, which makes Bai Wutong's slim body look more graceful and elegant.
"It's really suitable for Sister Wutong."
"Thank you, Sister Wen. I really like it."
Wen Chuyun's smile deepened, "I'm glad Sister Wutong likes it. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."
Bai Wutong stood up to see him off.
Lian Xin was also nearby, and couldn't help but whisper, "Is this Lady Wen showing off on purpose?"
"Be careful with your words." Bai Wutong touched the cloth, and the almost inaudible scent of medicine entered his nostrils.
The cloth was soaked in safflower and the clothes were fumigated with musk, as if they really didn't want to give her any chance at all.
But it's a pity that she is a demon and is not afraid of these things.
The child is now well in her belly. In ten days or half a month, the diagnosis can be made.
And she could feel that there was not just one baby in her belly, but twins!
Bai Wutong calculated the time and figured out that the pulse should show up by the end of October. Then she must take this opportunity to make Concubine Rong pay the price!
