Chapter 184: Give the Emperor Supplements
That night, Huo Jinchi stayed in Yanning Palace.
The news that Hou Xi agreed to sleep with the emperor spread throughout the harem.
Inside the Yiyang Palace, when the news came, Concubine De suddenly smashed the enamel teacup in her hand.
Furong beside her raised her head in shock to look, but she found that her master did not show any anger on his face, and even looked calm.
If the water-ground bricks had not been covered with fragments of the teacup, the sound of the teacup breaking would have seemed like an illusion to her.
"Master?" she called hesitantly.
De Fei took out a handkerchief calmly and wiped the tea stains on her fingers. "It's just a teacup that was accidentally broken. There's no need to be surprised."
Was it really a mistake?
Furong didn't dare to think too much about it. She just did as she said and ordered people to clean up all the debris.
After serving another cup of tea to Concubine De, Furong whispered, "My Lord, the Emperor must still be thinking about the eldest prince and the Empress."
Concubine De drank her tea calmly, but her voice was cold, "The Emperor is naturally concerned about the eldest prince, as for me..."
She sneered faintly, "The emperor is unwilling to come because he is upset that I didn't take good care of the eldest prince."
"Master has done his best. It is the eldest prince who is weak. Please do not blame yourself too much."
De Fei did not respond, but took another sip of tea before saying coldly, "This time I was too impatient and let the eldest prince show his face in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. This will never happen again in the future."
"You all should be more careful with me. If the eldest prince feels uncomfortable again, I will not forgive you!"
"Yes, we servants will definitely take good care of the eldest prince."
——
There was ice and snow outside the palace, but inside the palace there were waves of spring.
Yun Qin's expression was vague. She could no longer tell how much time had passed and what time it was. She could only vaguely calculate that this seemed to be the third time Xu An had brought in hot water.
Feeling the hot chest approaching her again, she couldn't hold back her sobs at last, her thin white and delicate fingers tightly grasping the quilt.
"I'm sweating a lot. I'll get sick if I sleep like this."
Yun Qin closed her eyes and shook her head. He said the same thing last time!
"If you are sick, I can only ask Director Jiang to give you more medicine."
These words finally made the person wrapped tightly in the quilt move, and Huo Jinchi immediately lifted the quilt and pulled her out.
When she returned to the bed, Yun Qin's eyes, which were glued together by tears, finally opened and she stared at the person in front of her with some moisture.
Being glared at didn't hurt or itch, so Huo Jinchi bent down and kissed the corner of her rosy eyes. She immediately crawled into the quilt, leaving only her dark, wet hair scattered on the pillow.
A muffled sob came from under the quilt.
Yun Qin now only felt regretful, as she had deliberately put on that string of jade beads.
She knew that the emperor did not go to Yiyang Palace last night because he was angry with Concubine De, but maybe he would go to Yiyang Palace tonight because he was worried about the eldest prince.
It is clear that Concubine De is more suspicious than the Empress.
Yun Qin didn't want her to succeed, so she wanted to keep the emperor.
But, but you obviously used too much force!
She felt upset and bit her lip and sobbed.
"How pitiful..."
Hawking Chi kissed the quilt, his voice filled with smiles and satisfaction.
He didn't dig her out from under the quilt again, but just crawled into the quilt and hugged her together with the quilt.
——
The next day.
When Yun Qin closed her eyes, it was still dark outside.
Seeing a shadow swaying outside the curtain, she asked, "Where is the emperor?"
The one who opened the curtain and came in was Danxue. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Yunqin's face.
"The Emperor has gone to the morning court."
"So early?" Yun Qin said in a hoarse voice and asked Dan Xue to pour a glass of water.
Dan Xue handed the water to her and said, "It's getting late." She glanced at the sky outside and pursed her lips, "Master, it's snowing again today."
Yun Qin was stunned for a moment, and only after closing her eyes did she suppress the worry in her heart!
It’s all because of Hawking Pond!
She is embarrassing herself more and more!
Yun Qin felt sore all over, so she handed the teacup to Dan Xue, then crawled back into the quilt, closed her eyes and prepared to go to sleep.
"Master, don't you want to have breakfast?"
"I don't want to eat." Yun Qin said, then slightly opened her eyes and looked at Dan Xue while hugging the quilt.
"Tell the cook to make some walnut cakes according to the recipe in the kitchen and send them to the front of the hall."
"Just say it, just say it..." Yun Qin's face turned red again. She pulled up the quilt to cover half of her face and said in a muffled voice, "Give the emperor some nourishment."
Danxue didn't realize anything, but seeing her master so shy, her face turned red too.
"Yes, I will let you go."
Yun Qin pulled down the quilt only after she left. There was still a blush on her face, but her eyes had turned cold.
She didn't find the opportunity yesterday, but she finally remembered it today.
I hope Hawking Chi can eat it out.
If he still had no reason to believe in Concubine De, then she could only do this, slowly eating away at Concubine De's patience and see if she would continue to show flaws.
As she thought about it, her mind became more and more fuzzy, and finally she fell asleep.
——
When Danxue brought the snacks to Yu, she happened to meet Xu Danying's maid, who was also carrying a food box and talking to Xu An.
"Eunuch Xu, this is the soup my family promised to make ourselves, please be flexible."
Danxue immediately felt something was not right. Could it be that she had messed up the first task assigned by her master?
She stepped forward hesitantly, but before she could speak, Xu An, who saw her, spoke first:
"Danxue, why are you here? Does Master Xi have any instructions?"
Danxue was a little flattered and said quickly, "No, no, the master just asked me to bring a portion of walnut cakes to the emperor to replenish his body."
Hearing her say this so bluntly, Xu An almost choked on his own saliva.
He glanced at Danxue's pretty yet slightly childish face and shook his head helplessly.
This Master Xi, with his unreliable look, is quite similar to the Emperor.
"Then give me the things quickly and go back to Yanning Palace. It's freezing cold, so be careful on the road."
Dan Xue never thought it would be so easy. She was stunned for a moment before quickly handing the food box to Xu An, "Thank you, Eunuch Xu."
The palace maid Xu Danying beside her was unhappy and asked in a questioning tone: "Didn't Eunuch Xu say before that the emperor was not hungry?"
Xu An glanced at her, his smile faded a little, "Although the emperor is not hungry, he still needs to eat snacks."
The palace maid who agreed to Xu's request choked and her face turned a little red, but she could do nothing but glare at Dan Xue.
Danxue was not a fool. She naturally understood that it was not a question of whether the emperor was hungry or not, but that he was unwilling to accept the things that Xu Danying sent. However, her master was different in the eyes of the emperor. Even if she did not inform Eunuch Xu, she knew that the emperor would never let her take it back as it was.
With this confidence, she was not afraid of the palace maid glaring at her, but rushed towards Xu Anfu.
"Then I will go back to the palace first."
Eunuch Xu is right. It’s freezing cold in this weather, so if anyone wants to endure the cold, then let them do it!
