Bixia walked in after lifting the curtain. Seeing Lin Zhan, who looked a little annoyed, she smiled and said, "Miss, what's wrong with you? Did you get emotional because of the scene?"
It turned out that Bixia thought that the emperor had re-appointed the queen, which made Lin Zhan think of his deceased sister, so he was in such a bad mood.
"Sister Bixia, I'm not that stingy. Besides, Concubine Xian treats me very well. It's better for her to be the queen than Concubine Qin. After all, there will always be someone to sit in the vacant seat."
Lin Zan said this very seriously, Bixia was amused by her serious attitude and then nodded.
After the harem had a queen, the wind direction was completely confirmed, and the concubines from all palaces had to go to Kangfu Palace to pay their respects early in the morning.
Although Liu Qiuchan became the new queen, she did not move to Guantian Palace. She wanted to leave a place for Lin Zan to remember her sister.
After all, as long as there is no new owner living in Guantian Palace, the decoration inside will not change at all, and there will be a special person to clean it.
This touched Lin Zan deeply, and he secretly made up his mind that he would let Liu Qiuchan get what she deserved.
"Today is the first time that Concubine Qin has come to see the Empress since her house arrest was lifted. I'm afraid there will be something interesting to watch."
"Who said it wasn't true? Now that we step into the Kangfu Palace, it's a completely different scene. I don't know if Concubine Qin can bear it."
The concubines from various palaces were standing outside the gate of Kangfu Palace, chattering away. Just then, a gorgeous sedan chair came around the corner, and everyone knew at a glance that it was Concubine Qin's sedan chair.
Over the years, Concubine Qin has relied on the emperor's favor and has always been arrogant and overbearing in the palace.
He had just been released from house arrest to pay a visit to the Queen, but he was riding in such a luxurious sedan chair. It was really eye-catching.
But even so, the concubines in the other palaces were still ranked below Concubine Qin, so they all bowed to the sedan chair.
Empress Qin, who was sitting on the sedan chair, was decorated gorgeously and looked very graceful. She just raised her eyelids slightly and glanced at the concubines who were bowing to her.
"Good morning, sisters." Concubine Qin's tone was as lazy and cold as usual. As soon as she finished speaking, the door of Kangfu Palace was slowly opened.
Dongxiang, the former first-class palace maid, has now become the manager of Kangfu Palace. She bowed slightly, saluted the concubines, and then invited them in.
The concubines hesitated for a moment, and then filed in one after another. Concubine Qin, supported by the palace maids, also entered Kangfu Palace.
When everyone was seated, Concubine Qin looked up and chuckled, saying to Liu Qiuchan who was sitting there, "Although you are the queen, some people are still disrespectful, and they haven't changed at all."
After the words fell, the whole palace felt a little awkward, and the disrespectful person that Concubine Qin was talking about was Concubine De.
Liu Qiuchan, on the other hand, didn't seem to care that Concubine De didn't come to pay her respects this morning. "I know that Concubine De is ill today and didn't come to pay her respects."
"Yes, even if the Empress knew about it, she couldn't do anything to Concubine De. After all, Concubine De has her father and brother supporting her, and her status in the palace is extraordinary, which is not something we can compare to." Concubine Qin said sour words and was hesitant.
This made Liu Qiuchan's brows frown, but she snorted lightly and ignored her. After all, the two of them had been fighting for so long, and now that she had sat on the throne of queen, she was naturally unhappy.
Liu Qiuchan exchanged a few words with the concubines in the palace and then let them go back.
"It's really tiring for me to speak politely to them. It's more enjoyable to talk nonsense with Zan'er." Liu Qiuchan asked the palace maid beside her to take off the crown on her head that symbolized her status as queen, and said with a long sigh of relief.
Dong Xiang beside him also said with a smile, "Your Majesty is right. Miss Zhan is naturally likable."
"Speaking of Zhan'er, why didn't she come this morning? She usually comes to my place for free meals." Liu Qiuchan said with some surprise.
Ever since Si Xueyi moved into Hanfang Pavilion, Lin Zan felt upset every time he saw her, so he always sneaked out in the morning to have breakfast in Liu Qiuchan's palace.
After a long time, Liu Qiuchan got used to her presence. She missed her a little when she didn't come this morning.
Dong Xiang was also stunned for a moment, and said in confusion. "It is indeed a bit strange. I will go to Hanfang Pavilion to ask."
"Go and ask, see if anything went wrong." Liu Qiuchan nodded.
Dong Xiang bowed and withdrew, and soon brought his people to Hanfang Pavilion, but he did not expect to meet Jun Beiqi.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Dong Xiang hurriedly bowed, but Jun Beiqi just glanced at her lightly and finally focused all his attention on Lin Zan.
Lin Zhan looked at the chestnuts in front of him with some surprise, and said to Jun Beiqi with disbelief in his eyes, "All of these foods are made of chestnuts."
"Of course, chestnut cake, chestnut porridge, and local chicken stewed with chestnuts." Jun Beiqi introduced expressionlessly, but there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.
The last time he saw Lin Zan seemed to like eating chestnuts very much, so when he returned to the Prince's Mansion, he ordered people to collect all the chestnut recipes and asked the chef to make them and bring them into the palace.
When Dongxiang saw this scene, she understood everything. She chuckled and quietly retreated with her servants.
"Look at me, I'm so small. The prince made me eat so much this morning. I guess he wants to raise me into a fat pig like a dumpling." Lin Zan expressed his surprise with exaggerated movements, and then patted his belly to indicate that he really couldn't eat any more.
Jun Beiqi was touched by her cute demonstration. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he smiled and said, "I didn't ask you to eat it all. Just taste a little of each dish so that you can have a taste."
"Ah, if I only have a taste of so many dishes, it would be a waste to leave the rest." When Lin Zan thought of this, an idea flashed in his mind, and then he asked Bixia beside him to call Jun Anqing.
"Go and get Tuanzi, he will definitely like it." Lin Zan said with a smile, but he didn't expect that Jun Beiqi, who was sitting next to him, would turn cold at a speed visible to the naked eye and his face darkened.
Just as Bixia was about to leave with a smile, Jun Beiqi slammed the table and said indifferently, "You are really righteous. Every time you have something delicious, you think of Lao Si."
"Of course. He is my foodie friend. If I don't share good things with him, that would go against the principles of foodie friendship." Lin Zan looked very loyal, but he didn't notice Jun Beiqi's expression at all.
But Bixia, who was always observant of people's words and expressions, noticed it and signaled to her young lady with her eyes to say less, because she didn't see that the prince's gaze was enough to kill.
