Chapter 820: More pity
Queen Zhou hadn't figured it out yet, so she had to say: "If you don't dislike it, use some......"
"Thank you, Queen."
Concubine Li Xian was as good as a stream, Dan'er sent a new pair of dishes and chopsticks, and she ate the rest of the breakfast with Queen Zhou.
Before a milk dumpling could eat, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.
Concubine Li Xian's brain was shocked, and she continued to eat quietly.
"What is the queen's breakfast today, why is it so fragrant?"
It was Motoji who stepped into the door, and he smelled the aroma of fish soup in the courtyard, thinking that it was some new kind of breakfast made in the small kitchen of Kunning Palace.
I didn't want to enter the door and saw Concubine Li Xian.
Empress Zhou and Concubine Li Xian got up together to say goodbye, "Say hello to the emperor." ”
"Get up."
Yuan Zhi sat down in the upper seat and glanced at Concubine Li Xian, "Why is Concubine Xian in Kunning Palace today?" ”
Concubine Li Xian raised her head and looked at Empress Zhou.
Empress Zhou explained on her behalf, "Oh, Concubine Xian's sister personally stewed the crucian carp soup with spring sand kernels for the concubines, it tastes very good, and the emperor can also taste it?" ”
Before the words fell, Dan'er had already brought the dishes and chopsticks to him.
Yuan Zhi asked people to serve soup on the one hand, and said to Concubine Li Xian on the other hand: "I didn't expect Concubine Xian to have such skills, get up early in the morning to make soup and send it to the queen, but I don't have time to eat breakfast?" ”
He had already seen that Concubine Li Xian had half of the milk dumplings left on the plate.
Concubine Li Xian was a little embarrassed, ashamed and ashamed, "The concubine has lost her manners." Because the concubines were friendly with the queen in the boudoir, they often ate at the same table with the queen in the past. So today, I was cheeky and came to the queen to have a breakfast. ”
"You don't even bother to eat breakfast in order to stew soup for me, as you should be."
Empress Zhou took the soup served by the palace people and sent it to Yuanzhi, "It's a little hot, the emperor drink it carefully." ”
Motoji took the spoon, scooped up the soup and tasted it, becoming more and more amazing.
Not only does this soup look milky white, but it also tastes like it is the right hue, and it is very delicious.
He looked at Concubine Li Xian again, and there was more admiration in his eyes, "I didn't expect Concubine Xian's craftsmanship to be so good, I just thought about giving it to the queen, why didn't I think about giving it to me?" ”
Concubine Li Xian bowed her head and was silent, looking shy.
And Yan'er, who was standing behind Concubine Li Xian, was happy in her heart at this moment!
It turned out that Concubine Li Xian fought this idea!
No wonder she clearly said that she wanted to send the soup to the emperor to drink, but she sent it to Kunning Palace, and the soup was drunk by the emperor......
Concubine Li Xian naturally calculated the time, and also predicted that the emperor would definitely come to Kunning Palace after the emperor's reign.
It all calculated perfectly.
Yan'er served Concubine Li Xian closely, but she didn't expect her young lady to be so scheming, she didn't see it before, and she couldn't help but admire and be a little scared.
And Queen Zhou saw that Concubine Li Xian didn't speak, but took the initiative to speak for her, "The emperor asked her daughter's family this, how could she be embarrassed to answer?" Didn't the emperor go to Changchun Palace to see Concubine Xian's sister, and Concubine Xian's sister was embarrassed to take the initiative to go to Qianqing Palace to bring soup to the emperor? ”
Harem concubines generally can't take the initiative to go to the Qianqing Palace to see the emperor, the rules left by the ancestors here.
Unless it is the emperor's favorite concubine.
Concubine Li Xian is naturally not included, and her Changchun Palace Emperor has not yet set foot in it, how can she be regarded as a habitual favor?
This night, Motoji really went to Changchun Palace.
……
"Mother, it's time to sleep."
In the dead of night, Queen Zhou sat in front of the dresser and was slightly distracted.
Dan'er didn't see her move for a while, so he stepped forward to remind her, but she saw that Queen Zhou's face in the mirror was a little sad.
Dan'er lowered her voice, "What's wrong with Niangniang?" ”
Empress Zhou didn't know what was wrong with her.
She shook her head, "It's nothing, it's just a little uncomfortable...... Feeling uncomfortable. ”
Dan'er was just about to open his mouth and order someone to call the imperial doctor, when he heard the last half of the sentence, he was stunned and stopped his words, "What's wrong, is it because of ...... The emperor went to Concubine Xian Niangniang tonight? ”
Queen Zhou was taken aback, she didn't expect her to behave so obviously.
This is not good, as a queen, she must not let people see that she is jealous!
Dan'er saw her expression and hurriedly comforted: "Niangniang don't be nervous, you didn't behave abnormally, it was the slave who noticed it herself." Comparing hearts to hearts, it has only been a few days since the emperor and Niangniang got married, and it is the time when the emperor goes to other concubines, and Niangniang is a little sad. ”
"Not really."
Empress Zhou didn't know how to say, "I didn't feel sad when the emperor went to Zhao Guiren last night, but I took the initiative to persuade the emperor to go." But today ......"
Her mind was a little messy, and somehow she was uncomfortable.
Dan'er listened to it and thought about it carefully, "Is it because of Zhao Guiren's low status that he can't threaten Niangniang's status." And Concubine Xian Niangniang has a high position, so Niangniang is a little worried? ”
"That's not right."
Empress Zhou vetoed her idea in one bite, "This palace is the queen, no matter how powerful the concubine is, it will not threaten my status." I have always kept the Queen Mother's teachings in my heart, and I am not afraid of this. ”
Empress Zhou's thoughts gradually became clear, "It's just...... Don't you think it's a little strange that Concubine Xian suddenly sent fish soup this morning? ”
Others may not think that Dan'er has been serving Queen Zhou to the palace from the Zhou Mansion, and she is very clear about the mode of getting along with Concubine Xian and Queen Zhou.
The two have been handkerchiefs for so many years, and they haven't seen Concubine Li Xian stew soup for Queen Zhou once.
Dan'er frowned slightly, "The slave also feels strange." At that time, I wondered if she was now a concubine and Niangniang was the queen, so she came to please Niangniang......"
"I thought so, too, but it's not like her temperament."
Empress Zhou shook her head, "She said she didn't have time to have breakfast, but why did she have to use the rest of my breakfast in Kunning Palace?" She has always been proud, and she will not use what others have left. And the time to come is also strange, it is the time of the emperor's dynasty. These days, the emperor will come to Kunning Palace as soon as he arrives, and everyone in the palace knows it......"
Dan'er suddenly gasped, "What does Niangniang mean is that Concubine Li Xian came to see the emperor on purpose, instead of sincerely sending fish soup to Niangniang?" ”
Thinking of Concubine Li Xian's smooth sleep tonight, Dan'er became more and more sure of Queen Zhou's guess.
Empress Zhou kept thinking about everything that happened this morning, and her guess became more and more determined, "Do you think that there is a fragrance of bath beans on her body this morning, as if she has just bathed?" ”
The aroma seemed to be there, and Queen Zhou was not sure.
When she said this, Dan'er hurriedly said: "If you are really busy and have no time for breakfast, how can you have time to bathe and change clothes?" Clearly deliberate! ”
Dan'er gritted her teeth in anger, feeling that her master was being used.
Queen Zhou raised her cheeks in the mirror and sighed lightly, "I don't know if the emperor will pity her even more when he sees the oil bubbles on her hands......"
