Although the lunch at Shouning Palace is relatively light, it is still fragrant and stimulates people's appetite.
Su Qiqi was so excited that she danced with joy:
[Steamed sea bass! Come to my mouth!]
[Wow! There's also pickled pepper crispy tripe and salt-baked shrimp!]
[Wow, I really want to show off that plate of osmanthus cake!]
Shen Mingyue smiled without saying anything and served a bowl of crucian carp and tofu soup.
I tasted it and it was neither salty nor greasy, but full of freshness and fragrance.
She scooped up half a spoonful of soup with a small spoon and fed it to Su Qiqi's mouth: "Come on, little greedy cat."
"What are you doing, sister?!"
Concubine Xian was so shocked that she stood up and asked loudly, "Do you usually feed the princess these things? The princess is only five months old, how can she tolerate it?"
Hearing this, the Queen Mother frowned: "Shen Mingyue, you are also a mother. Did you feed Hongxuan like this before?"
Lu Hongxuan, who was eating with his head down, looked confused. Then he smiled and said, "Grandmother, you are too worried. Mother has taken good care of me. Look, I am strong and healthy, and I enjoy my food so much!"
As he spoke, he clenched his fists, as if showing his strength.
However, the Queen Mother did not buy it and still had a stern face.
Xianfei immediately knelt down and said, "Queen Dowager, I dare to ask you to give the princess to me to raise."
It was obvious to the naked eye that both the Queen Mother and the Emperor loved the little princess very much.
If she became the little princess's adoptive mother, she would surely gain the attention of the emperor and the empress dowager.
If the little princess can be devoted to her in the future, she will have one more person to rely on.
Moreover, raising a child would only make the palace maids under her more worried, and she would not have to spend too much time on it.
Of course she couldn't miss this opportunity to get a bargain.
Thinking of this, Concubine Xian looked at Shen Mingyue again: "Sister, you have to take care of the Third Prince and serve the Emperor. I'm afraid you don't have that much time to raise the princess. The princess is young and fragile and can't withstand the torment. You should give her to your younger sister."
She was crying and sobbing, as if she felt so sorry for Su Qiqi.
"Qiqi is my sister! You didn't care about her before, why are you all scrambling to have her now?" Lu Hongxuan said dissatisfiedly.
"Abub abub!"
Su Qiqi kept trying to get into Shen Mingyue's arms.
[I don't want this bad woman to be my adoptive mother! ]
[I, Su Qiqi, am the Imperial Concubine's person in life and the Imperial Concubine's ghost in death!]
"good."
Shen Mingyue patted Su Qiqi comfortingly, then looked at the Queen Mother and explained, "Qiqi is different from ordinary babies. If she doesn't eat something tasty, she will feel weak and have no appetite. I asked the imperial physician before, and he said that Qiqi can drink soup in moderation. As long as she doesn't eat too much, there will be no problem."
The virtuous concubine snorted coldly, "Sister Imperial Concubine, don't you think twice before you lie? Can you fool the Queen Mother with your nonsense? Feeding a five-month-old baby fish soup will only harm her. You are truly a vicious person!"
"So, I am also a vicious person?"
The emperor walked in from outside with a cold face.
"Your Majesty?"
The virtuous concubine was trembling, and her voice was filled with tears.
She glanced at the Queen Mother, lowered her head and said loudly, "Forgive me for being so bold, but what the Imperial Concubine did was wrong in the first place. This matter concerns the life and health of the little princess. You can no longer protect the Imperial Concubine!"
After saying that, she kowtowed heavily.
"I was the first to feed Qiqi fish soup, and I personally consulted the imperial physician. After observing her for a few days and confirming that there was nothing wrong with her after drinking the soup, I informed the Imperial Concubine and allowed her to feed her the soup! Are you questioning or blaming me now?!"
The emperor's furious eyes frightened Concubine Xian so much that she dared not utter a word.
Xianfei felt a chill in her heart. She gritted her teeth and burst into tears, "Your Majesty, I am only worried about the princess."
The emperor was merciless: "Put away your dirty thoughts and go back to your Yuxiu Palace. I don't want to hear you gossiping anymore!"
[Tsk tsk tsk, you dared to touch our imperial concubine, now you're in trouble! You deserve it!]
[Ever since our Imperial Concubine entered the palace, she has been the only one favored by the Emperor. So, Imperial Concubine Mother told the Emperor to treat her equally!]
[But the emperor refused to listen and just doted on her!]
How can she feel good about this~ Hahahahahaha…
Su Qiqi raised her index finger, pinched her throat, and imitated Song Xiaobao.
The naughty tone of voice makes it very funny.
Shen Mingyue cleared her throat, lowered her head and pretended to remain calm.
The emperor couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"Alright, alright," the Queen Mother said, looking annoyed as she watched the noise grow louder. "You're giving me a headache, so please eat in peace."
The emperor said nothing more.
He sat directly next to Shen Mingyue, picked up a porcelain bowl and filled it with some crucian carp and tofu soup, then scooped some with a spoon, blew on it and fed it to Su Qiqi's mouth.
The movements were skillful, obviously he had done it many times before.
Su Qiqi sipped, shook her head and waved her hands while drinking.
That look is well-behaved, cute and very likable.
Lu Hongxuan said excitedly: "Grandmother, look, my sister is eating so happily!"
Seeing this, the Queen Mother half-jokingly said, "This child is really unique. At such a young age, he's already thinking about snatching food from adults."
Lu Hongxuan said seriously, "Sister, you don't eat much! You can leave all the grandson's share to your sister!"
"I'm just kidding! In this huge palace, is there really no food for her?"
The smile in the Queen Mother's eyes grew wider.
The virtuous concubine struggled to stand up.
The emperor ignored her at this time, and the empress dowager also turned a blind eye.
She just felt embarrassed and wronged.
