Chapter 339 Mutton Soup
Concubine Qin sat there with an unhappy look on her face.
Little Li glanced at her expression and lowered his head. Concubine Qin has had a bad temper for a long time, especially now that Concubine Xi is pregnant and Wan Zhao has not made any progress. He really doesn't believe that Concubine Qin would not be angry when she heard this.
Qin Concubine looked grim for a while and then looked at Little Li Zi: "Wan Zhao pretends to obey but secretly disobeys, you think you are capable? Do you know what I am thinking?"
Little Li's heart began to beat rapidly: "I am not a talented person, but I think that Concubine Xi's pregnancy is a good opportunity to overthrow her."
He spoke cautiously, but it made Concubine Qin feel upset.
"Tell me about it."
Little Li didn't dare to speak loudly. He looked around to see if there was anyone around before moving closer: "Look, when Lady Yi's father got into trouble, didn't she get pregnant?"
Qinpin raised her eyebrows: "That's it?"
Little Li whispered, "We have to stir up chaos in Zhaohua Palace first, so that we can fish in troubled waters."
If Concubine Xi is in chaos, the entire Zhaohua Palace will be in chaos.
Qinpin had been thinking about waiting for an opportunity before, but she didn't know when this opportunity would come. As a result, this servant gave her an idea. It was also because Chen Qing had made her a little confused recently, and she was only thinking about what means she could use in the palace. She didn't think that the battlefield for women in the harem was not just in the harem, right?
Qinpin curled her lips when she thought of this. She looked at Little Li. If Wan Zhao was pretending to obey but secretly disobeyed, she would believe it and would not be happy about it. But if Wan Zhao's heart was elsewhere...
Why didn't Wan Zhao stay with her at the beginning? It was because Wan Zhao always liked to persuade her when he was serving her. Later, Wen Qiu was beaten to death by Xuanyuan Ling for beating Shen Qing, so she put Wan Zhao in front of her again.
Why did she let Wan Zhao go and not promote others? It was because she knew Wan Zhao was loyal.
This little Lizi wants to step on Wan Zhao to get to the top, and he seems restless, but Qin Pin can use him now, so let's use him for now. Wan Zhao has been investigating for so long and has not found out that Shen Qing is pregnant. It is really ineffective for her to use him now. Once this matter is settled, this little Lizi will not be needed.
However, since he was needed at this moment, Concubine Qin immediately promoted him to replace Wan Zhao's original position, and Wan Zhao was sent to the third princess.
Wan Zhao knew it was bad at first sight, but he couldn't even see Concubine Qin so he asked Xiao Lizi to stop him.
In the past, he was in charge of Little Li, but now Little Li was in power and still unhappy when he saw Wan Zhao: "Eunuch Wan, you have a good job now because of the Queen's order. The Queen is very concerned about the Third Princess, so sending you to serve the Third Princess is a promotion."
Wan Zhao was filled with anger when he heard what Little Li said: "What kind of person is this? You are the one who is making irresponsible remarks here. Do you think you can take the responsibility for corrupting the Empress?"
Little Li looked at Wan Zhao's protective expression and whispered in his ear: "If you hadn't been so cautious and always advised Concubine Qin, Concubine Qin wouldn't have lived such a miserable life. Concubine Qin wants someone who can give her advice, not someone who holds her back. Eunuch Wan, you should just go and serve the Third Princess well."
As soon as Little Leo gained the upper hand, several people who had been suppressed by Wan Zhao before and wanted to stand out all jumped up. Now they seemed to be inviting him in a nice way, but their tone was really sarcastic.
Wan Zhao couldn't see Concubine Qin, so he started thinking about the Third Princess. He wanted to use the Third Princess to persuade Concubine Qin. Concubine Qin's mind was not very stable at the moment. If he let it go, what would happen?
Wan Zhao was really worried, and Ming Su was also worried.
Chu Linglong had a miscarriage after fainting, and she was not in a good state after waking up. She was awake, but was frightened to find out that she had a miscarriage, and was sad because of Chu's father's matter, so her mood suddenly became bad.
The pregnancy-preserving medicine made her stomach uncomfortable. The delivery nanny who served Chu Linglong saw that she was unwilling to eat and thought it was not good, so she said to Ming Su: "Why don't you ask the noble lady what she wants to eat and ask the imperial kitchen to prepare it for her."
"I have asked, and you seem to be in a bad mood right now. I can't do anything about it."
The delivery nanny sighed: "They should ask the imperial kitchen to come up with a solution. I heard that they are the ones who are worried about what Lady Ji eats and vomits."
Although a chef was arranged in the palace at that time, the ingredients were provided by the imperial kitchen after all. The chef cooked something that the nobleman didn't like, so the imperial kitchen had to be troubled.
In fact, Shang Dexi has been so worried these days that his hair is about to fall out. The harem has never been so lively. First, there are three pregnant concubines. Originally, Noble Lady Yi was easy to serve, but something happened and she didn't want to eat. Concubine Ji vomited everything she ate, and if the imperial physician was not there, there would be nothing the emperor could do. As for Concubine Xi, who was originally thought to be the most difficult to serve, is now the easiest.
Ming Su arrived and greeted Shang Dexi: "Eunuch, my noble still can't eat. I really have no choice but to trouble you. Can you think of a way to stimulate the appetite and make my noble eat more comfortably?"
How could Shang Dexi say no? He had just agreed and was about to ask someone to send some more dishes to Noble Lady Yi, when he suddenly saw a young eunuch hurrying back. His eyes popped out when he saw him: "I told you to watch the tonic soup, and this is how you watch it?"
The young eunuch knelt on the ground and said, "I didn't mean it. I just had an upset stomach. Please forgive me, eunuch."
Shang Dexi did not dare to neglect and hurried to check on the stewing tonic soup. Chen Qing ordered a yam and mutton soup. The sheep could not be an ordinary pen sheep, and the sheep could not be too old, otherwise the queen would not be able to eat it if it had a slight smell. The soup would take a long time to stew, and if the heat was wrong, the taste would be wrong.
Fortunately, nothing happened. Ming Su walked in and smelled the soup: "It smells so good."
Shang Dexi was anxious just now, and now he felt embarrassed when he saw Ming Su smell it. They were all pregnant, and it was troublesome to stew the soup. Not everyone was pregnant, so wasn't this a waste?
As expected, Ming Su asked, "Can we ask our noble lady to have some of this soup as well?"
Ming Su actually realized that the soup should be prepared for Concubine Xi, but it was such a big pot that Concubine Xi could not finish it all, so he wanted to ask for some for Chu Linglong. He also did not forget the rules and stuffed a bag of silver into Shang Dexi's pocket.
The imperial kitchen was a lucrative job, and Shang Dexi really did not need this bag of silver. However, he could not accept the silver, as it would not look good if it got out.
Fortunately, Concubine Yi wanted some soup, and the imperial kitchen was serving it, so it was no big deal.
So Shang Dexi said happily: "Send it to Noble Yi later."
