The hot summer afternoon makes people drowsy.

After the emperor finished lunch that day, he originally wanted to take a lunch break, but after thinking about it, he still planned to visit Concubine Xian.

The Changyin Hall where Concubine Xian lives is the closest to the Emperor's Lingxin Palace, which also shows her status in the emperor's heart.

After coming to the Changyin Palace, there was a voice of please, the virtuous concubine was soft and beautiful, her temperament was gentle, and the whole person was a little thin, and she looked weak, which made people pity. Concubine Xian greeted the emperor at the door, and her voice was gentle and soft: "I have seen the emperor." ”

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, she raised her head, her eyes were like water, she looked at the emperor stupidly, and wrote her admiration on her face, and the eagerness to look forward to the emperor's arrival was expressed in her eyes.

"Aifei, hurry up." Obviously, the emperor ate this, and he hurriedly helped Concubine Xian, "Has Concubine Ai eaten?" ”

"After using it, the emperor should take care of the dragon body. I had the lily mung bean soup boiled, and I was thinking about sending it to you later. Concubine Xian smiled softly and sat down with the emperor, the tenderness in her eyes almost overflowed, "The emperor has just eaten, let's use some fruit to cool off first, after using up, does the emperor want to take a nap here for a while?" ”

"No, I still have business to attend to in the afternoon." The emperor gently patted the back of Concubine Xian's hand, "Wait a few days, I will take you to escape the summer." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Xian was about to get up and salute, but the emperor held her down and motioned for her to sit down, "I will come to see you again in the evening." ”

Concubine Xian nodded happily.

At this time, the palace maid brought up the fruit plate, and Concubine Xian forked a piece of watermelon cut into small pieces with a small silver skewer and fed it to the emperor's mouth.

The emperor frowned after eating it.

"Your Majesty?" Concubine Xian called out with some trepidation.

"What's going on with this melon?" The emperor's food and clothing have always been the best, but now he suddenly ate a watermelon that was not too fresh, and he tasted something wrong in an instant.

"What's going on?" Concubine Xian was stunned, looked at the emperor puzzled, and said worriedly, "Isn't the watermelon sweet?" Then don't eat it, drink some tea? Concubine Xian picked up the teacup and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor looked at the watermelon on the plate, and then looked at the faint tea soup in the teacup in Concubine Xian's hand, and did not speak for a long time.

"Your Majesty, you, what's wrong with you?" Concubine Xian asked uneasily.

The emperor smiled, stretched out his hand and gently touched Concubine Xian's face: "It's okay, I still have some things to deal with when I think about it, you can rest first." ”

After saying this, the emperor got up and left quickly.

"Congratulations to the emperor." A series of voices sounded behind him, it was Concubine Xian with a group of palace maids saluting.

The emperor didn't even sit down, and walked towards the Zhaoyang Hall where the queen lived with an angry face. The chief steward and eunuch followed. I knew in my heart that Concubine Xian was giving the queen eye medicine, and she was saying that the watermelon sent by the queen was not fresh.

The emperor's heart was already full of anger. He finally realized that something was wrong. These days, the fruits he eats are ordinary fruits, and the tea he drinks is also ordinary tea. Concubine Xian is deeply liked by him, so many times he rewards Concubine Xian with good things, and then he goes to enjoy it with Concubine Xian. But during this time, it seems that he didn't eat anything good, so he didn't reward Concubine Xian. Today, when he went to Concubine Xian's to eat stale watermelon, and then saw the faint tea soup, he understood what the problem was.

The emperor's diet and daily life are all in charge of the palace, but the palace affairs of the harem are all controlled by the queen. Including the distribution of all the concubines, the food and drink, are all in charge of the queen. And sometimes the good things provided by the subject country are also in charge of the queen's scheduling. All in all, the queen of the Great Zhou Kingdom has the highest right to take care of the affairs of the harem.
