What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 8
"Sorry, I don't want to"

Lin Ximeng continued to smile.

The triangular eyes were so angry that they blocked her chest, and suddenly her eyeballs rolled.

"Hey, have you heard? We're going to have a new sister in our backyard."

"Really? Where are they from?" The concubine's attention was instantly attracted, and even Lin Ximeng was a little curious.

"I heard that it was rewarded by the empress, a beauty from the south, not only our master, but also the second prince, third prince and fifth prince."

"Is it true?" Some people were unhappy when they heard that it was so serious, and their faces were so dark that they could drip water.

Sensing the unfriendly gaze, the triangular eyes smiled mischievously.

"What are you doing at me? I also heard from the boys who ran errands in the front yard, and said that my father entered the palace today to lead people."

"Hey, anyway, I'm not in a hurry, anyway, I don't like it, it depends on some people."

Several people stared at Lin Ximeng again.

They gloated at others' misfortune and were filled with envy. What did this woman eat to grow up, and how did she become so beautiful? Even her eyebrows were not too many and one was not too many.

The so-called overthrowing the country and the city is nothing more than that.

Lin Ximeng pretended to be upset, waved her hand saying that she had a headache, and dismissed several people one by one.

Ignoring the sight of them kicking their feet triumphantly, she quickly entered the inner room and breathed a sigh of relief under the quilt.

With newcomers coming, I should have a chance to breathe.

But why did the queen suddenly give away a beauty again? Did she realize that she was useless?

-

In the evening, Xie Chenyu really brought back a delicate beauty.

The position is a concubine, and the residence is given to Jade Pavilion, which is opposite Biboyuan, second only to Biboyuan's residence.

This wave of operations once again made the women in the backyard desperate.

Zhao Liangdi cried and complained that her master was ruthless, she only listened to the laughter of the newcomers but not the crying of the old ones.

Cui Liangren suffered from heartache again.

Liu Liangren is still like a piece of wood.

The concubines wailed everywhere.

As for Lin Ximeng, she actually wanted to cooperate and put on a show. After thinking about it, she decided to halve the dinner tonight.

"Remove the stewed beef brisket, as well as the braised mutton."

With so many delicious dishes, removing each one is like cutting her flesh.

Fortunately, her appetite is not too big, and after eating the rest, it is enough to eat.

Just after dinner, Dagui came to report that the master is coming this way.

Lin Ximeng quickly lay on the bed with a worried look.

Xie Chenyu entered the door, seeing that she was not moving, he stepped forward with great interest and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Ximeng burst into tears: "My master has a new man, why don't you go to see your new sister? How dare you keep me here as a concubine?"

Xie Chenyu closed the fan and lifted her chin with the handle.

"You are the person in my heart, no one will forget you, I will take you into the palace tomorrow to thank you."

"Yes"

Like a little concubine, Lin Ximeng was happy to get into someone's arms.

Xie Chenyu froze, and quickly threw away the fan to enjoy the beauty.

-

The next day, Xie Chenyu got up early in the morning and took Lin Ximeng and the new concubine to Jiaofang Palace.

In the main hall, the empress looked a little tired after seeing off the concubine Wu Yangyang who had paid her respects.

"Yuer, this is it?"

"The sons and ministers came to thank the queen mother for her kindness"

Xie Chenyu looked like a filial son and grandson, bending his waist to the lowest point.

"These two are rare beauties in the world, and the queen mother is willing to give them to me, which shows that the sons and ministers are the ones that the mother loves the most."

"What am I supposed to do"

The queen glanced at the new concubine, and then her eyes fell on Lin Ximeng.

"It is indeed a country and a city. After the illness is cured, it is really good to take care of it."

She slowly got up and walked down the steps, and helped Xie Chenyu up with her own hands.

"After all, Ben Gong watched and grew up. Who does he love if he doesn't love you?"

"Your royal father had nine sons in his life, six of you survived in total, and each of you was more miserable than the other. I love you as my own children."

The old queen with a big heart and a fat body couldn't help wiping away tears.

"Since my Yun'er and Xiu'er have gone, I don't want you to suffer a little bit."

"Your father is also getting old, Yu'er, you must work hard, and don't be obsessed with beauty all the time."

"Children always remember the teachings of the queen mother"

Xie Chenyu supported the old queen to sit on the phoenix chair, and sat by her footrest.

The mother and son, the loving mother and the filial son, recalled the difficulty of being in the palace these years, and the old queen sighed a few words about how time flies.

When the atmosphere was at its best, Xie Chenyu secretly whispered a few words in the old queen's ear, which made the old queen laugh and scold him for being useless.

"Okay, it's time for your father to come to eat after the court, you go back first"

"Remember to study hard, don't make your father angry"

"Mother, don't worry, son will leave"

Xie Chenyu left happily with the two beauties.

-

After sending Xie Chenyu away, the queen went back to the inner room and leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, lamenting that she was really old and couldn't compare to when she was young.

Fang Rui served a cup of stewed golden blood swallow.

"Your Majesty, please go ahead, the Emperor may have to wait for a while"

The queen took the bird's nest and began to eat it in small bites. After a while, she suddenly felt melancholy.

"So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, I almost forgot what Yun'er and Xiu'er looked like", only remembering that their brothers died of illness in her arms.

Especially Xiu'er, he was only four years old at that time, the little child was finally skinny, and looked at his mother with dry eyes before dying.

Ask him when he can have some more pieces of his favorite yam red bean cake.

The old queen put down the bowl, wiped her tears, and soon returned to normal.

"Look at this early morning, hurry up and prepare breakfast, remember to prepare an extra plate of yam and red bean cake"

"Yes!"

Fang Rui left, leaving only the queen in the room.

She got up slowly, walked around the luxurious and rich bedroom carefully, touched the oily and smooth sandalwood chair, and stroked the delicate silk curtains.

Finally, sitting in front of the fully carved ivory dressing table, her eyes shifted from the red gold phoenix crown studded with precious stones to the gray hair bun under the phoenix crown, and then to the face whose fine lines could not be concealed even by makeup and powder.

She gritted her teeth and swallowed all the tears.

When the palace people announced 'the emperor is coming', he successfully put on the most perfect smile and got up to greet him.

The old emperor Xie Fuming is in his forties and a half this year. He has been on the throne for 20 years.

Because he was too fat, his walking posture swayed from side to side.

The queen welcomed him in with a smile on her face, and the two sat down at the crowded dining table.

"It's all the emperor's favorite food. You have a lot to do every day, so you need to eat more."

Xie Fuming hummed in interest, and waved his hand to order some beautiful maids to serve the dishes.

The queen didn't even blink her eyelids, and introduced the ingredients and origin of each dish with a smile.

Xie Fuming ate so much that his face was greasy and his brows stretched.

After the meal was served, the queen suddenly pointed to a plate of dim sum on the table and asked Xie Fuming.

"Does the emperor think this dim sum is familiar?"

Yam and red bean cakes are her Xiu'er's favorite, and Xie Fuming has rewarded the cook who made the cakes several times.

The young Xie Chenxiu thought that the father he liked also liked him.

The child personally sent it to the imperial study every day, saying that he was afraid that his father would be too tired to approve the papers, and he would have to eat a plate of yam and red bean cake to dispel his fatigue.

The queen has been eating this dim sum for 16 years.

And Xie Fuming.

He didn't even take a second look, and dealt with it hastily.

"I don't remember, what is the saying for this dessert?"
