The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 84

Immediately afterwards, before the emperor could respond, Fulu said with a smile: "But your majesty, I am fortunate enough to have learned green jade bean cake from my master. If you want to make it for Jiaorong, I can help you."

Hearing this, the emperor snorted helplessly, and dismissed Fulu's idea without thinking: "Forget it, I just want to reward her with something she likes, and I didn't intend to poison her to death."

Hearing this, Fulu's smile slowly faded away, pouted in aggrieved manner, and stopped making any noise.In the next second, the emperor took the teacup from Liang Jiugong, dusted it lightly twice, and said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell Chef Xie, who specializes in royal dishes, to prepare some dim sum with meat fillings. Send it to Qianqing Palace."

"Yes." Fulu bowed in response, and then he pursed his lips, hesitated for a few seconds, and said with a little embarrassment: "Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly, according to Jiaorong's temperament, if you reward her directly , she will feel that she has exceeded the rules, and it is possible to throw away all the things you gave me."

The emperor was not surprised by this at all, after all, it was a completely correct reaction for Jiaorong.He slightly raised his eyebrows, and said softly: "I know, you go."

Looking at the emperor's calm appearance, Fu Lu couldn't help feeling admiration from the bottom of his heart.As expected of an emperor, someone who is so difficult to deal with Shang Jiaorong can keep his face so calm, which must be due to the sophisticated strategy in his heart.Thinking about it, Fulu soon left Qianqing Palace.

Half an hour after lunch, the emperor personally brought people to Chengqian Palace with multiple snacks prepared by the imperial dining room.At this time, Concubine Yi is practicing calligraphy, and Jiao Rong is rubbing ink for her at the side. The picture is harmonious and quiet, like the closest sisters.

After learning that the emperor was coming, Concubine Yi gently put down the pen, walked out from behind the table, bent her knees and said softly: "My concubine pays my respects to the emperor."

"En." The emperor responded lightly, his eyes only glanced at Concubine Yi for a moment, and then turned to Jiaorong.

Unexpectedly, when Jiao Rong saw the emperor looking at her with those spirited fox eyes, the corners of her brows furrowed fiercely, she raised her small face and looked straight into the emperor's eyes, as if she was judging and criticizing him, How could he just linger on a court lady in front of Concubine Yi.

The emperor ignored her blunt expression, walked slowly towards Concubine Yi, and said softly: "I heard that Concubine Yi likes to eat sweets, and the person in the imperial dining room has prepared some snacks, you can see if it suits your taste. "

Hearing this, Concubine Yi raised her eyes to look at the emperor, she was a little dazed for a while, but subconsciously continued: "I thank you, my concubine, for the reward from the emperor."

The imperial cooks and eunuchs at the back all came up with food boxes, and placed the snacks in the food boxes on the table one by one.The emperor looked at the dim sum he asked these imperial chefs to make specially, with a very satisfied expression.

The point of these snacks is not actually sweetness, but that he ordered people to add meat to them.Although Concubine Yi loves sweets, she can't eat pork. Once she eats it, her skin will moss.These snacks were given by the imperial concubine. According to Concubine Yi's temperament, she would definitely not waste them in vain, so she would definitely reward the palace people with the snacks.

The emperor's abacus was well thought out, but at the same time, when Jiaorong saw the snacks presented on the table, the corners of her brows frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, let me test the poison for you first." Jiaorong took a step closer to Concubine Yi, her voice slightly cold.

Concubine Yi looked at Jiaorong, and wanted to say that this is the food bestowed by the emperor, so there is no need to test the poison, but when Concubine Yi saw Jiaorong's firm eyes, she couldn't help but softly agreed: "Okay. "

Although the emperor didn't understand what Jiaorong was going to do, he didn't stop him.Jiao Rong stepped forward, took a pair of chopsticks handed over by the eunuch next to her, first picked up a plate of millet balls on the far side, looked at them slightly, and slowly put them into her mouth.

Not long after, Jiao Rong frowned even more after chewing it carefully, she swallowed it in one gulp, then picked up the whole plate of millet balls, and handed it directly to Yi Zhu who was standing beside her , said coldly: "Take it and pour it out."

At this moment, all the people present were stunned. They were going to throw away the imperial gift in front of the emperor. Isn't this afraid of the emperor's punishment?
Yizhu also opened his eyes wide in an instant, looked at Jiaorong incomprehensibly, and stood there refusing to move.Concubine Yi realized something was wrong, she looked at Jiaorong, and asked softly, "Jiaorong, is there something wrong with this plate of dim sum?"

Immediately, Jiaorong turned her head away, stared directly at the emperor with cold eyes, and said extremely sternly: "Pork is used in these millet balls. The concubine Yi has always been forbidden to eat pork, otherwise the skin will be covered with moss. This point is very clear to all the palace people in Chengqian Palace, but the emperor doesn't know at all, it's really a bit of a waste of a husband."

Jiaorong's words were too forceful, and the scene suddenly became quiet, leaving only the magnetic field where Jiaorong and the emperor looked at each other, still fighting non-stop.

At this moment, the emperor himself was extremely helpless.Of course he knew that Concubine Yi couldn't eat pork, but he deliberately violated this point and did it in order to be able to reward Jiaorong with things around the corner, but Jiaorong's temper was too hard, and she was too protective of Concubine Yi. Thoroughly, putting Concubine Yi first in everything, really made him unable to move his mind.

After a long time, the emperor closed his eyes, took a step to the side, and simply smashed the pot: "It was my negligence, I was in a hurry, and I forgot this, I don't know if all the dim sum in the imperial dining room have been used. pork."

Hearing this, Liang Jiugong answered the emperor's words very clearly: "Back to the emperor, Xie Yuchu made so many today just to use pork to research new dim sum. All these dim sum on the table contain pork. I'm afraid Concubine Yi can no longer enjoy this appetite."

Hearing this, Concubine Yi was stunned for a while, and then said innocently as the emperor had thought in advance: "In this case, the concubine should give these snacks to the servants in the palace, after all, it is the emperor Although the minister and concubine can't personally taste his heart, he still understands it."

The emperor listened and nodded, and looked at Liang Jiugong silently. Liang Jiugong's gaze slowly moved to Jiaorong, and he pursed his lips and said, "If that's the case, I'll give these snacks to Miss Jiaorong first, Miss Jiaorong." She is the most capable court lady by Concubine Yi's side, so she deserves some rewards, and the rest will be distributed to other people in Chengqian Palace."

Jiaorong stared at the emperor and Liang Jiugong with a strange expression on his face. The emperor was calm, but Liang Jiugong was almost stared at by Jiaorong.
