Chapter 796: Eating from the bowl and looking at the pot
After leaving Changle Palace.
Luo Qinghan was riding on a dragon chariot towards Yunxiu Palace, and halfway there he happened to meet Fang Wujiu who was also going to Yunxiu Palace.
Fang Wujiu was wearing a navy blue official uniform of an imperial physician and carrying a heavy medicine box on his shoulders.
The cold wind blew his clothes, and his posture was as straight as a pine tree.
He bowed to the emperor.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."
Luo Qinghan sat upright in the car with the door wide open.
He looked down at the other person, and his voice sounded particularly cold in the cold wind.
"What are you doing at Yunxiu Palace?"
Fang Wujiu: "I have already checked the spices that Your Majesty gave me earlier. I came here to report the results to Your Majesty and to check on the Imperial Concubine's pulse."
Luo Qinghan: "What are the test results? Are there any problems?"
Fang Wujiu said truthfully: "The ingredients of those spices are normal, there is nothing wrong with them."
Luo Qinghan was not very surprised by this result.
Even if the Empress Dowager really wanted to do something, she would not use such obvious means.
Luo Qinghan closed the car door casually: "Let's go."
The dragon chariot continued to move forward.
Fang Wujiu followed behind the carriage carrying a medicine box.
A group of people came to Yunxiu Palace.
In the side hall, Xiao Xixi was still playing cards with Concubine Li, Concubine Min, and Concubine Yao.
Princess Li was already furious with defeat.
The silver ingots and pearl hairpin jewelry in front of Xiao Xixi were almost piled up.
Concubine Min and Concubine Yao also lost some, but they did not lose as much as Concubine Li.
Princess Li is very concerned about her reputation and has a strong desire to win. She always wants to save up the big ones and then play all the cards in one go to win a beautiful victory.
As a result, she always had a handful of cards in her hand and was reluctant to open them.
When others discovered her problem, they deliberately separated the cards and played them separately.
When everyone else had played their cards, Concubine Li still had a handful of cards in her hand.
Princess Li was really angry!
She threw the cards in her hand hard onto the table.
"Come again!"
She just doesn't believe that she can't win even one game!
Just then, Qingsong's singing voice was heard outside the door.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Concubine Li was so frightened that she almost crawled under the table.
Yao Jieyu also shuddered all over, her brain went blank for a moment, and she was completely stunned.
Concubine Min hurriedly reminded: "Put the cards away quickly!"
Concubine Li and Concubine Yao finally woke up from their dream and hurriedly collected the cards.
However, they were still a step too late.
The Emperor had strode in.
He immediately saw the cards on the table that had not been put away yet.
Concubine Li, Concubine Yao, and Concubine Min paused while holding the cards and froze in place, not knowing whether to continue collecting the cards or to stand up and greet.
Xiao Xixi was not flustered at all and stood up calmly to greet him.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Concubine Li, Concubine Yao, and Concubine Min hurriedly threw away the cards and stood up to salute.
Luo Qinghan walked up to Xiao Xixi, looked at the cards on the table, and asked expressionlessly.
"You guys are having fun?"
Xiao Xixi smiled flatteringly and said, "I'm free anyway, so playing cards to kill time is good."
Concubine Li secretly glanced at the emperor, but found that the emperor didn't even look at her.
In his eyes, he could only see the imperial concubine, and everyone else was just air.
If it were in the past, Concubine Li would definitely be disappointed, sad and upset at this time.
But now, she just wanted to roll her eyes.
On the one hand, he pretended to be obsessed with Concubine Xiao, and on the other hand, he doted on the Imperial Concubine like his own sweetheart.
Eat what's in the bowl and look at what's in the pot.
Bah, you bastard!
Princess Li said sweet words in her heart while bowing respectfully and taking her leave.
Concubine Yao and Concubine Min also knew what kind of person the emperor was, so they quickly followed and left Yunxiu Palace with Concubine Li.
As for the deck of cards, it was left in Yunxiu Palace.
It’s not that Concubine Li doesn’t want the deck of cards anymore, but the Emperor is still standing next to her, and she really doesn’t have the courage to collect the cards in front of the Emperor.
She decided to come back to play cards with the imperial concubine tomorrow and win back the money she lost today.
Xiao Xixi pulled Luo Qinghan to sit down at the table.
"Look, this is all the money I won today!"
Luo Qinghan glanced at the pile of money and said calmly, "You are going to get rich."
Xiao Xixi smiled proudly: "I'll treat you to a mutton hotpot later. It's a super large portion, you can eat as much as you want!"
Luo Qinghan smiled: "Then I'll wait for you."
At this time Fang Wujiu walked in carrying a medicine box.
When Xiao Xixi saw him, her eyes lit up and she waved her hand to dismiss everyone.
She ran over and said, "Big Brother!"
Fang Wujiu put down the medicine box and said, "Let me take your pulse."
Xiao Xixi immediately and obediently stretched out her right hand.
Fang Wujiu grabbed her wrist.
Luo Qinghan stood by and watched expressionlessly.
Normally, when the imperial physicians took the concubines' pulses, they would cover the concubines' wrists with silk. Some more particular old imperial physicians would directly use a hanging silk thread to take the concubines' pulses.
But there were no such scruples between Fang Wujiu and Xiao Xixi. He took the pulse directly without any reservation.
But they still look open and honest.
It’s really hard to say.
Under Luo Qinghan's death gaze, Fang Wujiu loosened his fingers after a long while and spoke in a gentle voice.
"My pulse is normal, nothing's wrong."
Xiao Xixi withdrew her hand and started chatting with the senior brother about family matters.
Luo Qinghan suddenly asked.
"Where's my jade pendant?"
Xiao Xixi looked at him: "What jade pendant?"
Luo Qinghan: "It's the jade pendant you made before. I remember wearing it all the time. How come it's gone?"
Xiao Xixi: "Maybe it was placed in the bedroom."
She called Baoqin and asked her to look in the bedroom.
Soon Baoqin came back holding a ring-shaped jade pendant.
Luo Qinghan took the jade pendant, touched it like a treasure, and then carefully hung it around his waist.
Fang Wujiu asked casually.
"Did Xixi make this jade pendant herself?"
Luo Qinghan: "Yes, this was her birthday present for me last year. By the way, she also prepared a gift for me this year. It's a yard full of lanterns, all made by her. She also painted on the lanterns. It's a pity you didn't see it."
Fang Wujiu looked at Xiao Xixi. He was clearly smiling, but there was a hint of sourness in his tone.
"It turns out Xixi can also carve jade pendants to make lanterns."
Why didn't she give him a jade pendant or a lantern? !
Xiao Xixi nodded: "Yes, yes, not only can I carve jade pendants to make lanterns, I can also sew pants!"
Fang Wujiu: "..."
He felt suffocated when he thought of the pair of open-crotch pants that were forced to the bottom of the box.
Luo Qinghan: "What pants?"
Xiao Xixi: "It's the senior brother..."
Fang Wujiu interrupted her forcibly.
"Nothing, just an ordinary pair of pants."
Xiao Xixi: "Brother, you worked so hard to raise me. If you need to mend your pants in the future, you can give them to me. I will definitely mend them beautifully for you!"
Fang Wujiu: "You are already married, even if you need to sew pants, you should sew them for your husband."
…………
Good morning everyone!
Luo Qinghan: Suddenly I felt my butt was a little cold.
……
Please give me a monthly ticket. Please give me a monthly ticket~
