The farmer has a mall

Chapter 286

Sitting next to the emperor, a concubine with an apricot face and peach cheeks, wearing light makeup and about the same age as Fu Tuo, laughed out loud.

She looked at Gu Nanyan with full eyes, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "The concubine heard from sister Xianfei yesterday that the expenses in the moon palace are much higher, and they are all expenses from the imperial dining room. The people below reported the wrong account, it turns out..."

Concubine Chen giggled, shook Emperor Anyang's arm and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, it's not the concubine who is talking about you. The princess is a girl after all. If there is a reputation for being gluttonous, how can I talk about kissing in the future?"

She glanced at Gu Nanyan with contempt, but she saw that she was arguing with Fu Lin, and she didn't pay attention at all.

"What's wrong with eating too much?" Emperor Anyang frowned and looked at her dissatisfied.

"The common people have a saying that being able to eat is a blessing, and it's not like I can't afford it, no matter what others say."

Concubine Chen was choked, her heart choked when she saw the emperor protecting Gu Nanyan so much.

Her grandfather was the grand master of the court, and her sister was Ning Zongyuan's original wife. The relationship between the two families has always been good.

Although her elder sister married into the Ning family and had nothing to do for ten years, she is still very much respected by the Ning family, and her relationship with Concubine Ning in the palace is also the best, and she needs to be taken care of.

But ever since Ning Zongyuan was killed, Concubine Ning Gui was imprisoned after the defeat of the Ning family, and the power of the harem fell into the hands of Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning have always been at odds with each other, and Concubine Chen has always troubled Concubine Xian.

Now that Concubine Xian is in power, her life in the harem is getting sad, not to mention being made things difficult for her, and she even has the least chance to serve her bed among the four.

If it wasn't for her uplifting stomach, she was just diagnosed with a happy pulse a few days ago, and then she got the emperor's attention again, otherwise she might not have had her part in today's palace banquet!

Therefore, she naturally hated Gu Nanyan, the culprit who caused all this.

Concubine Chen pursed her lips, unwilling to let Gu Nanyan go like this.

It's just that because of the emperor's protection of her, she just smiled shyly and didn't dare to continue talking, lest she would be bored.

Seeing that she was very interesting, Emperor Anyang was quite satisfied, thinking that she still had a child in her stomach, he stopped scolding her, and asked Eunuch Xu to go to the imperial dining room to remind her.

Concubine Chen saw that everyone no longer paid attention to her here, and the emperor was also joking with Concubine Xian, got up with a gloomy expression, and took the palace servants to the apse on the grounds of being respectful.

Concubine Xian noticed her movement and frowned.

Gu Nanyan didn't care about the little disturbance just now.

Although he was quite contemptuous of Emperor Anyang's behavior of "smearing" himself everywhere, but when he heard that he had prepared meals for more than a dozen people for him, he instantly calmed down, and looked eagerly at the palace gate waiting for the food to be served.

Fu Lin was still on her arm, but Fu Tuo's persuasion was fruitless and he had to ask someone to move a stool for him, and sat at the same table with Gu Nanyan.

It wasn't until the food came that Fu Lin let her go and let her eat, while he himself watched her eat without blinking.

Seeing that he was looking seriously, Gu Nanyan struggled for a moment, and tore a chicken leg for him.

Fu Lin's big eyes flickered, and he took it happily, looked at Gu Nanyan and then at the chicken drumsticks, imitating her and started to eat.

The palace banquet continued, everyone in the hall was talking and laughing, only one big and one small, eating happily without raising their heads, the empty dishes on the table were removed again and again, and replaced with new dishes.

The originally lively atmosphere gradually quieted down, and everyone stared at Gu Nanyan's table in astonishment.

Fu Lin's snacks are slow at this age. After eating a chicken leg, the dishes on the table have changed twice.

After the third round was withdrawn, seeing that Gu Nanyan had no intention of responding to him, Fu Lin licked the grease stains at the corner of his mouth, and pointed to his little finger.

"Lin'er is young, one chicken leg is enough, and the rest will be eaten by Huang Jie."

After he finished speaking, he looked at her eagerly... The roasted pig's foot in his hand swallowed, and his eyes moved accordingly.

Gu Nanyan: "..."

Did I get robbed?
After a fierce ideological struggle, Gu Nanyan, who really couldn't stand the little guy's gaze, reluctantly gave him half of the pig's feet that hadn't had time to eat.

The pork knuckle is crispy and salty on the outside, crispy on the inside, and when you bite into it, the burnt aroma mixed with the strong meaty aroma is so delicious that it makes your tongue cramp.

Fu Lin held half a pig's foot in both hands, and his mouth was full of oil.

The sound of drooling was heard one after another in the hall, and even Emperor Anyang quietly asked Eunuch Xu to bring him a plate of roasted pig's feet.

Of course, in order to maintain his image as an emperor, the bones had been taken in advance and the meat divided into small pieces for his convenience.

Concubine Xian cast a helpless glance at him: "Has the Emperor forgotten what Doctor Sun said? If you want to maintain a youthful appearance, you must eat less greasy food and eat more vegetarian food."

Emperor Anyang waved his hand, stuffed a chopstick into his mouth, and said vaguely: "I'm not a woman, what kind of youthful appearance do I want?"

Ever since Gu Nanyan lived in the palace, he had long forgotten the doctor Sun's instructions. Although he did not eat too much meat, he ate a lot more meat than before.

After he finished speaking, he also picked up a chopstick for Concubine Xian, asking her to taste it too.

Concubine Xian didn't like these greasy ones, so she only took a bite.

"Nanyan's child, except for his appearance, doesn't look like Sister Wei at all." She sighed, looking at Gu Nanyan with soft eyes.

When Wei Lan was mentioned, she had a nostalgic look on her face: "If Sister Wei knows, I will be gratified to know that her daughter is so outstanding."

"Nanyan has a temperament that doesn't suffer. She is never afraid of things and never escapes. She is much stronger than her mother." Emperor Anyang put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

"That's good." He said lightly.

Concubine Xian saw that he looked disappointed, and knew that she had said something wrong, so she hurriedly changed the subject with a smile.

"Speaking of which, she is half a year older than the sixth princess, and this year has already reached her age. I wonder if the emperor can choose a family for her?"

She paused, then regretfully said: "The concubine's natal nephew is a good match for her age, but it's a pity that that brat is still the only one who has made a name for himself."

Concubine Xian's surname is Ding and her name is Mo Wei. Her father passed the exam when he was young, and now he is a minister of the Ministry of Rites.

And her mother is the daughter of a great Confucianism, who gave birth to a son and two daughters, and was born in a scholarly family.

She is the second child in the family, and there is an older brother in front of her. Although she is not a young man, she was awarded a Jinshi when she took the scientific examination many years ago, and was assigned to work in the Imperial Academy.

However, in the generation of her nephew, she only passed the Juren examination, and now she is already looking for a job.

Emperor Anyang thought for a moment with downcast eyes, and finally remembered who her nephew was.

"Are you talking about Ding Qi?" He asked with a frown.

"That kid, I remember, playing with cats and dogs all day long is not a good type. He must be nineteen this year."

Emperor Anyang was dissatisfied: "I heard that your mother dotes on this grandson very much. So far, she has no decent job, and she has to rely on his grandmother's subsidy every month to survive. Tell him about Nanyan?"

He snorted, "I'm afraid she will become a widow on her wedding night!"

Hearing the disgust in his tone, Concubine Xian was helpless: "I know you love my daughter, but Qi'er is a juror after all, not as bad as you said."

"Besides, the concubine's mother only gave birth to an elder brother and a son, so she naturally doted on her grandson, but Qi'er is actually a pretty good person."

Emperor Anyang waved his hand without hesitation when he heard the words: "This matter can't be done, not to mention that Nan Yan is my most outstanding daughter, it is better to find a better husband-in-law, just say your mother, she can make my baby Grandson marrying?"

Concubine Xian was taken aback when she heard the words, not understanding what he meant for a moment.

Although the princess lived with the concubine in the princess mansion after her big wedding, she was indeed suspected of becoming a matrilineal child, but the child born had the surname of the concubine, which was fundamentally different from being a matrilineal child.

She just wanted to ask to clarify, but Emperor Anyang didn't want to say more: "I'm also doing it for the good of your nephew."

He sighed: "Are you taking me for a joke? With her personality, if she finds someone displeased, she will beat her up. With Ding Qi's small body, how many punches does Aifei think he can withstand?"
