The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 83

The emperor did not expect that Ma Changzai would suddenly become so agitated, he was stunned for a moment, stared at her for two seconds, and said softly: "Of course I am not asking questions, but these days the womb has not been peaceful, I ask more You just want to avoid getting you wrong."

Ma Changzai's expression was still not very good. After a while, she seemed to realize that she had lost her composure. She lowered her eyes silently and said softly: "This concubine shouldn't question the emperor, this concubine knows it's wrong."

Seeing Ma Changzai's appearance, the emperor slightly shrugged his shoulders, turned his eyes to one side, and said very lightly: "Forget it, I will go to see Changsheng in a while, and then I will go back to Qianqing Palace to rest."

After the words fell, the emperor stepped forward and was about to leave, Ma Changzai's face suddenly showed a panic look, she chased two steps forward, and raised her voice: "Your Majesty!"

Hearing the sound, the emperor's footsteps stopped, Ma Changzai's eyes were slightly red, and he said in a rare low voice: "Your Majesty, you haven't stayed in Zhongcui Palace for a long time. Is it really like what the people in the palace said? After the concubine gave birth to a long life, her face began to look haggard, did the emperor also dislike the concubine because of this?"

In the past, Ma Changzai was the most favored concubine in the palace, and she was well maintained, naturally beautiful, but now that she has given birth to a child, she is busy every day, exhausted both physically and mentally, and has no time to maintain her beauty and figure, and her temperament is natural It is no longer so high-profile.

The emperor had never seen Ma Changzai like this before, he turned his head and stared at Ma Changzai for a few moments, his face remained unchanged, and he replied softly: "Of course I won't be superficial enough to despise a person because of his appearance, I'm just today It's just a busy government."

Ma Changzai pursed her lips tightly, her pupils vibrated fiercely, she didn't understand why the emperor was so indifferent to her, she clearly said that the only concubine in the palace who has both children should be doubly favored logically, but It's not the cold talk like it is now.

"Your majesty, I beg you to stay in Zhongcui Palace today. Recently, people in the palace have been talking about my concubine, saying that my concubine has long since fallen out of favor, and that Changsheng is the prince who is the least valued by the emperor. I don't care about this concubine himself, but this concubine I really don't want to let Changsheng fall into the mouth anymore!" Ma Changzai's words gradually became more extreme, her face was full of impatience and helplessness, it could be seen that she had been provoked to no avail by the emperor.

Hearing these words, the emperor frowned slightly. He had to admit that he didn't expect much from Changsheng.One is that after the two incidents that happened to Ma Changzai in the past, he somewhat rejected Ma Changzai, and secondly, the princes of Ma Changzai's previous births were all born weak, and the subconscious in his mind also felt that Changsheng would reproduce to He didn't dare to look forward to those former princes, because he was afraid of being disappointed repeatedly like before.

But as the emperor, he should fulfill his responsibilities as a father and husband. Ma Changzai has indeed been more careful in everything since he gave birth to Changsheng, and his temper is no longer as flamboyant as before.

After a long time, seeing that Ma Changzai seemed to be losing strength, and his expression became more and more serious, the emperor sighed, and replied softly: "You don't need to be hurt, I will stay today."

Hearing this, Ma Changzai's eyes suddenly brightened, and she laughed happily. The huge emotional ups and downs almost made her cry: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Early in the morning of the second day, the emperor looked back at the table too early, looked at the book on the table, seemed to remember something, and called out casually: "Liang Jiugong."

Hearing this, Liang Jiugong rushed over to greet him, "The servant is here."

The emperor looked up at him, thought for a moment, and ordered: "You go and call me the little imperial chef who said he had a good relationship with Jiaorong last time in Chengqian Palace."

"Ah?" Hearing such an order suddenly, Liang Jiugong was taken aback for a moment, unable to react for a while.

The emperor pursed his lips speechlessly, looked at Liang Jiugong and couldn't help but say in disgust: "I haven't punished you for a long time, you are getting more and more inconvenient to do things now."

Hearing this, Liang Jiugong's brain speeded up, and a few seconds later, he said "Oh", and suddenly realized: "I remember, the little imperial cook is named Fulu, and I will go to the imperial dining room to find him. "

After saying that, Liang Jiugong turned and left without saying a word, for fear that the emperor would let him take the board by himself.It seems that in the future, he'd better keep a copy of the matter about Miss Jiaorong, otherwise, every time the emperor asks something, if he can't answer it, although he won't be punished substantially, he will be slapped in the face by the emperor Spatted a meal.

The emperor is a gentleman, so naturally he would not do something that would damage his image, but if the emperor wants to say something that hurts people, it will make the listeners not want to stay for a second longer.

Not long after, Fulu was brought in by Liang Jiugong.At first, when Fulu saw Liang Jiugong coming to him in person, he thought that the previous incident had been revealed, so he looked at Liang Jiugong's face a lot along the way, and thought of an excuse for himself.

When he arrived in front of the emperor, Fu Lu didn't even think about it, he knelt down with a "plop", and said loudly: "My servant, send your respects to the emperor!"

This roar made the emperor frown instantly, his cold eyes moved away from the memorial, stared straight at Fu Lu's face, and reminded: "Don't be so loud, I'm still young, and my ears are good."

In this regard, Fu Lu nodded, and followed the emperor's words, and praised artificially: "The emperor is young and promising, he governs the country well, the tree is like a tree, he is capable of writing and martial arts, and the servants are extremely admirable!"

Hearing Fulu's words, the emperor frowned all the time, and even pinched the center of his eyebrows with his fingers, his whole face was speechless.He really couldn't understand why someone as smart as Jiaorong always liked to get along with people with a bad brain.

The emperor really didn't want to talk nonsense with Fu Lu, so he put down the memorial, and asked in a deep voice: "I know you are Er Sen's apprentice, and you often help Er Sen deliver food to Jiaorong on weekdays, and I called you here just to ask, What does that girl usually like to eat?"

Hearing this, Fu Lu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly let out a sigh of relief, stood up from the ground, and muttered: "So that's the case, I thought I did something wrong..."

At the end of the sentence, Fulu raised his eyes and said slowly: "I once heard from the master that the reason Jiaorong is so thin is because she is very picky about food. She likes to eat meat and rarely eats vegetables. She doesn't like too salty food." Things, for dessert, Jiaorong’s favorite is Jade Jade Bean Cake, but I only like the one made by my master, she said that it is a unique taste.”

The emperor's expression was rarely serious. After a while, he nodded slightly and asked softly, "Is Ersen in the palace today?"

Fu Lu shook his head, with a smile on his lips: "Master, the old man is going to find a folk pastry master outside the palace to learn some new desserts. He has taken a leave of absence for a few days and is not in the palace."
