Chapter 64 Scene
Concubine Kangde thanked the emperor.
Soon word was passed that the banquet was to be opened.
Shen Chuliu thought a spring bamboo shoot and pigeon soup was delicious, so she drank a few more sips.
The emperor happened to look over and saw how she was enjoying the meal, so he smiled and said, "Add a dish of spinach and tofu to Lady Jing. Choose the tenderest spinach."
Chusi responded and went out.
The people below did not hear this, but Concubine Feng and Concubine Yi were close by, so they naturally did not miss it.
Concubine Feng glared at Shen Chuliu, but Concubine Yi was very unhappy.
This vegetable and tofu must be what Shen likes.
Soon, the dish arrived and was placed in front of Shen Chuliu.
Qi Yixiu was surprised and smiled, "I see you have a good appetite, eat more."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Concubine Yi, for your hospitality." Shen Chuliu bowed with a smile.
Then we sat down and started eating.
The emperor had given her a reward, so why should she be polite? Spinach was in season this season, and she really loved this dish.
However, since she thought the soup was delicious, she would not refuse to drink it.
Lady Li smiled and said, "Lady Jing has a really good appetite."
This means that she doesn't care about the occasion.
Shen Chuliu wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief: "Why, Lady Li, do you have a poor appetite? Are the dishes served by Concubine Yi not to your taste?"
This question is asked. Even though Miss Li is a proud person, it is not good for her to offend others easily.
"How could that be? I just felt emotional seeing you enjoying your meal so much." Lady Li smiled naturally.
"Is that so? Indeed, it is really joyful to see others eating with relish. Then sister, you should take a few more glances at them." Shen Chuliu, a bachelor, said.
Qi Yixiu above almost laughed out loud.
He naturally knew that Lady Li had an extremely powerful tongue.
But Jing Meiren’s words are even more vicious.
After all, they are still in Concubine Yi's palace, so they can't go too far and just say a few words.
After the banquet, everyone stood up to leave.
Qi Yixiu also said: "I should go back to take care of palace affairs. Concubine Yi must be tired too, right? Have a good rest. I will come to see you again in the evening and have dinner with you."
Concubine Yi shyly responded, "It's very cold outside, Your Majesty, please walk slowly."
"Yeah." Qi Yixiu looked at the crowd and said, "Miss Jing, have you finished eating?"
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to send me here to do something?"
Qi Yixiu also smiled: "I see you are eating well, it's time for you to contribute. I have a pile of memorials waiting for the use of pen and ink."
Shen Chuliu bowed solemnly: "I am willing to serve the emperor, please rest assured."
Qi Yixiu curled his lips and said, "Since you are so serious, let's go."
Shen Chuliu stood up and followed him out the door.
Everyone behind had smiles on their faces, but only they themselves knew what was going on in their hearts.
Concubine Feng watched them leave and suddenly smiled: "I remember when Concubine Yi entered the palace, except for the Crown Princess and me, the Concubine Liang, everyone had to give way to her. After entering the palace, she was given the title of Second Rank Concubine and was favored by everyone. The Emperor gave you this Changle Palace to live in so that you can live without worries. But since when did your Changle Palace change?"
After saying this, he took the servant's hand and went out.
Concubine Jin also smiled meaninglessly.
When Yi Chongyuan left, she said, "Don't be too picky, Concubine Yi. Concubine Feng Shu's words are not without reason. It seems that those two have become powerful."
Is Concubine Yi angry? Of course she is.
Regardless of whether the emperor comes in the evening or not, it is still embarrassing.
Lady Jing was very courageous, so she just went along with the emperor's order.
But Yi Chongyuan was even angrier than Concubine Yi. She didn't even have a chance to speak to the emperor alone today.
She was still pregnant! She was angry and scared.
She was angry that she was being ignored even though she was pregnant. She was afraid that if she was not pregnant, what would her situation be like now? Concubine Yi didn't say anything, but just asked someone to send her out properly.
No matter what happened later, Shen Chuliu followed Qi Yixiu to Taiji Palace.
In the Taiji Palace, Qi Yixiu glanced at her and said, "You are wearing it well. This color suits you."
"I knew it. It must be because I was dressed well today, so the emperor must have seen me early on." Shen Chuliu said proudly.
It is no secret that the women in the harem attract the emperor openly and seduce him secretly.
But everyone would say that it was unintentional, and no one would say that in front of the emperor.
Isn't this just saying I'm asking you to pay attention to me? Qi Yixiu shook his head gently: "You have a big mouth."
"Hehe, Your Majesty, please don't look down on me. I'll ask Eunuch Chusi to make some tea first. How about Your Majesty take a rest before reviewing the memorials?"
"Well, then go and tell him to do it. Since you suggested making tea, I'd like to try your cooking skills." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
Shen Chuliu nodded: "Then I will definitely make it well. If it's not good enough, I will try better next time."
After hearing her, Qi Yixiu walked out, muttering: After all, I have studied for quite a long time.
Qi Yixiu thought, this woman dares to try anything and is not afraid of showing her weakness.
In fact, the emperor is also a human being. How could he think that humans are perfect?
It’s just that some people pretend to know everything when they don’t, or they fail in an extremely embarrassing way.
The emperor has countless concubines, so there is no need to force yourself to accept the bad ones.
But what if you fail calmly or beautifully?
On the fourth day of the New Year, someone was asked to bring tea sets, and the tea brought was the best black tea.
After washing his hands, Shen Chuliu knelt in front of the table.
I personally boiled water on a small stove, washed the tea set, and then started to make tea.
The tools were naturally complete, and she moved slowly but not hesitantly, thinking about the order in her mind.
Without showing off, she pushed the first cup to Qi Yixiu and said, "Your Majesty, please try it. If you still like it, please don't criticize me."
Qi Yixiu didn't comment, picked it up and took a sip.
Actually, I didn’t say that.
The skills of Jingmei people are not bad, of course they are not as good as those who specialize in making tea, but their skills are superior.
She is indeed a smart woman. As long as she learns, she will definitely be good.
Shen Chuliu also took a sip and smiled with narrowed eyes: "Your servant is really capable."
Qi Yixiu was just sitting there drinking tea, but he laughed out loud at this and flicked her forehead with his hand: "Shameless girl."
Shen Chuliu stuck out her tongue: "Just brag a little."
"Well, your skills are pretty good. What reward do you want?" Qi Yixiu looked at her.
"No, it happens every time. The title the emperor gave me during the New Year was the best, and I haven't thanked the emperor yet." To be honest, the word "Jing" is still very good.
She didn't like the word "Yue" that Qi Yixiu had mentioned as a joke before.
"If you have any shortage, just tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I've been busy lately and haven't had time to take a look. I'll go and take a look later." Qi Yixiu said.
"Well, I think there's nothing missing. When His Majesty is free, come and have a look during the day. His Majesty must have different tastes, so it will be easy to add to it then. Also, ask your concubine to treat His Majesty to a good meal."
It’s time to go to pk, and we need support, such as recommendation votes.
