Chapter 746 He Just Wants to Pamper Her
As everyone knows, Concubine Min was able to be promoted thanks to the Imperial Concubine. She was a staunch supporter of the Imperial Concubine. Moreover, she was knowledgeable, intelligent, and knew how to judge the situation. It was most appropriate for her to take over the accounts of the palace.
Concubine Li thought that the imperial concubine would agree immediately, but unexpectedly the imperial concubine said.
"I will consider it."
Concubine Li was surprised. Could it be that the imperial concubine was dissatisfied with Concubine Min?
That shouldn’t be the case. Concubine Min is so loyal to the imperial concubine, what could the imperial concubine be dissatisfied with?
Xiao Xixi suddenly twitched her nose.
She smelled the aroma of hot pot!
It must be Baoqin who was frying the ingredients. The fried hot pot base is more fragrant.
Xiao Xixi couldn't help swallowing.
She looked at Concubine Li, her tone somewhat anxious.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Princess Li: "No, no more."
Xiao Xixi: "Since there is nothing else, then you should go back quickly."
Don’t stand here and delay my hotpot eating!
Concubine Li was driven out of Yunxiu Palace in a daze.
After she got on the sedan chair, she belatedly remembered that the imperial concubine's anxious look just now was quite similar to that of Concubine Xiao.
These two people not only look alike, but also have similar personalities and some habits.
Is it a coincidence?
Princess Li felt that there were no such coincidences in the world.
Perhaps, the imperial concubine heard about Concubine Xiao from others and deliberately imitated Concubine Xiao's living habits in order to consolidate her position in the emperor's heart.
This is the most reasonable guess.
Baoqin had just started cooking the hot pot when the emperor arrived.
Xiao Xixi went out to greet him and found that Luo Qinghan seemed to be in a bad mood today.
Although he always had a blank expression on his face and his emotions could not be seen, Xiao Xixi had been with him for a long time and could already guess his mood changes from some minor details.
Xiao Xixi took the initiative to hold his hand.
"Your Majesty, have you encountered any trouble today?"
Luo Qinghan walked into the hall with her and said calmly, "Nothing, just a small matter."
Today he received another memorial impeaching the imperial concubine for taking advantage of her favor and running rampant in the harem.
One of the letters criticized the imperial concubine for all her faults, using extremely harsh words. In the end, it even requested the emperor to sentence this evil concubine who brought disaster to the country to death to prevent her from causing greater disasters in the future.
Luo Qinghan was so angry that he threw the letter away.
He didn't want to tell Xixi about these bad things, so as not to dirty her ears.
Xiao Xixi said excitedly: "We are having hot pot today. Do you smell the hot pot? Is it fragrant?"
Luo Qinghan smelled the spicy aroma as soon as he entered the door and nodded, "It smells pretty good."
Xiao Xixi: "I know you can't eat spicy food, so I specially asked someone to make a shabu-shabu pot for you."
In order to eat this tangyuan hotpot, she specially asked someone to make a tangyuan copper pot.
The two sat down by the stove, where a hot pot was cooking, with a light mushroom and chicken soup on one side and a bright red spicy soup on the other.
Xiao Xixi picked up the chopsticks, picked up a handful of beef slices, and put them into the boiling red soup.
She counted the seconds silently in her mind.
When the time was up, she quickly took out the beef, rolled it in the oil dish, and stuffed it into her mouth.
In one word, delicious!!
In order to prevent her from getting a sore throat after eating hot pot, Baoqin specially prepared some herbal tea to clear away heat and reduce internal heat.
Xiao Xixi ate two bites of meat and then took a sip of herbal tea.
Such a fairy-tale day is so wonderful!
Luo Qinghan looked at her little face, immersed in the pleasure brought by the food, and the unhappiness in his heart gradually faded away.
So what if everyone in the world objects to him doting on Xixi?
He just wanted to pamper her and pamper her to the extreme.
Who made him have only this one treasure in his life!
Xiao Xixi ate until she was about 70% full and finally slowed down her eating pace.
While she was putting vegetables into the pot, she talked about the problems with the palace accounts.
"Originally, Concubine Lao was in charge of this matter, but now Concubine Lao is ill, and Concubine Li can't handle it alone, so I thought of finding a helper for Concubine Li."
Luo Qinghan asked: "Who do you think is more suitable?"
Xiao Xixi: "Concubine Li recommended Concubine Min."
Luo Qinghan glanced at her: "You don't agree?"
Xiao Xixi wrinkled her nose and said, "It's not that I don't agree. I just can't see through Concubine Min. I always have some doubts in my heart. But after so much time has passed, she doesn't seem to have shown any suspicious behavior. Maybe I'm really overthinking."
Luo Qinghan: "If you think Concubine Min is not good enough, then change someone else. Everything in the harem is up to you."
Xiao Xixi smiled slyly: "Aren't you afraid that I will torture all the beauties in your harem to death?"
Luo Qinghan: "You won't."
Just three simple words, spoken without hesitation.
Xiao Xixi pouted: "Are you so confident in me?"
Luo Qinghan: "Of course, I will always believe in you, just as you will always believe in me."
Xiao Xixi laughed again.
There is no one in this world who doesn't like the feeling of being trusted unconditionally, and she is no exception.
Even though she knew he might just be saying this to tease her, she still felt happy.
In the end, Xiao Xixi handed the task of managing the harem accounts to Concubine Min.
When Concubine Min learned about this, she immediately went to Yunxiu Palace to thank the imperial concubine.
Xiao Xixi couldn't see through her, so she just let her go and see what she wanted in the end.
The tuberculosis concubine, who was originally recuperating in Yingfu Palace, suddenly learned that Concubine Min had taken over the accounts of the harem in her place. She was so angry that she almost died.
She originally just wanted to take the opportunity to get a Joe so that everyone could know her importance.
But she didn't expect that the imperial concubine would directly seize the power from her!
The concubine was not convinced: "She is also a concubine, and I am also a concubine. Why can she treat me like this?!"
Liu Xu said as she helped her calm down.
"The words you spread earlier have spread all over Shengjing.
Now everyone in the city knew that the imperial concubine was tyrannical, and many court officials submitted memorials to impeach her.
But even so, the emperor still protected the imperial concubine wholeheartedly.
Even the Empress Dowager had to avoid the attack and hide in the Shengguang Temple.
What can we do to the imperial concubine?"
Speaking of this, Concubine Lao became even angrier.
So many people impeached the imperial concubine, but the emperor would rather risk going against the whole world to protect the imperial concubine.
Such deep affection made her both envious and resentful.
It was obviously she who knew the emperor first, and she was the first to follow him, so why did the emperor always give his affection to others and never look back at her? !
Liu Xu comforted him, "In this situation, we have no other choice. You should be more open-minded, so as not to get angry and hurt yourself."
How could the tuberculosis concubine be so open-minded?
She has loved the emperor for so many years, how could she let go all of a sudden? !
"Help me up. I want to go and see the Empress Dowager."
Liu Xu said hurriedly, "But the Empress Dowager left the palace this morning and went to Shengguang Temple. She hasn't come back yet."
Concubine Lao: "I can go to Changle Palace and wait until the Empress Dowager returns."
