Empress Abandoned in the Cold Palace: Queen Juan, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 23 Serving the Emperor

After safely returning to Kunning Palace, Su Lijin took a breath.

Who knew Xiao Shengxun was so vigilant.

Fortunately, he was not discovered, and I don't know if he will believe the contents of the note.

But according to Xiao Shengyun's character...

Su Lijin was really not sure for a while.

After two days in a row, there was no relevant news from Xiao Shengyun's side. Su Lijin guessed that he believed the content of his note.

This thing has been done.

but……

Looking at the extremely bland meals in front of him, Su Lijin sighed helplessly.

If the feet are grounded, the feet are grounded, why is there no oil and water?
How can I eat this clear soup with little water?

Reluctantly putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Su Lijin waved his hands to make people remove the things.

She lay on the bed, helplessly emptied her mind, and was finally annoyed by the growling of her stomach and had to get up.

It seems that we still have to rely on our ability to eat.

Thinking of this, she secretly changed into lighter clothes, and then secretly left Kunning Palace through the side door.

In the royal dining room
As soon as Su Lijin stuffed the chicken leg into her mouth, she heard footsteps outside the door and hid vigilantly in the corner.

"You all be careful, this is the soup I want to send to the emperor, don't make any mistakes!"

Mrs. Xi's slightly haughty voice sounded.

Su Lijin in the corner also looked at the soup that was still boiling on the stove.

It turned out that this was prepared for Xiao Shengyun?

I was grounded, and I didn't even have a mouth.

He was fine, and there were people who brought soup specially, Su Lijin couldn't help complaining in his heart.

As if thinking of something, the corner of Su Lijin's mouth curled into a faint smile, and then, taking advantage of no one's attention, Su Lijin casually added a few spoonfuls of salt to the soup.

Feeling that it wasn't enough, she just poured it all in. After stirring it, Su Li raised her eyebrows proudly.

Let Xiao Shengyong, who arranged vegetarian dishes for himself, suffer a little bit, right?
Just after finishing all this, Mrs. Xi opened the door and walked in.

Su Lijin turned sideways and hid in the corner again. Because her movements were extremely fast, she was not noticed by Mr. Xi.

Full of anticipation, I came to Tai Chi Palace with soup.

Noble Xi leaned over to salute Xiao Shengyun: "The concubine sees the emperor."

"Get up." Said lightly, Xiao Shengyun didn't even look up.

"Your Majesty, you have worked so hard in handling the affairs of state, why don't you take a break, my concubine specially prepared soup for you to nourish your body, please try it, Your Majesty?"

After speaking, nobleman Xi came to Xiao Shengyong's side, bent over and put the soup in front of him.

They had already been delivered to him, and Xiao Shengyun couldn't refuse any more.

Symbolically picked up the spoon and took a sip.

Frowning slightly, the taste of this soup is salty enough.

He glanced at nobleman Xi beside him.

This nobleman Xi is rumored to be unparalleled in cooking, even if he didn't make the imperial dining room himself, he wouldn't dare to make such a mistake.

What's more, by dressing up like this, it is obvious that he wants to get favor by giving the soup.

Then there is no need to shoot yourself in the foot.

Thinking of this, a figure appeared in front of Xiao Shengyong's eyes.

"Come here." Shen Sheng said, and he called the eunuch outside.

After Su Lijin finished eating in the imperial dining room, she casually wiped her hands and planned to leave.

Who knew that as soon as he went out, he was stopped by the eunuch who had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

"The Empress!"

The eunuch bowed his head to salute Su Lijin.

Needless to say, with just one glance, Su Lijin understood what the eunuch meant by blocking her.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Shengyun guessed it was him so quickly.

Not interesting.

Sighing helplessly, Su Lijin asked, "The emperor is looking for me? Let's go."

After finishing speaking, she took the lead and walked in the direction of Tai Chi Palace.

"The courtiers and concubines see the emperor." Su Lijin stood in the hall and bowed to Xiao Shengyun to salute.

"Did the queen forget that she is still grounded?"

Xiao Shengyun didn't talk nonsense, and directly hit Su Lijin's heart.

Her thin lips were slightly pursed, and she set her eyes on the soup in Xiao Shengyun's hand.

It was just a tease, but he actually called himself over to remind him that he was still grounded, how petty.

"Yes, the concubine knows it's wrong, please ask the emperor to make amends."

Su Lijin bowed her head, pretending to be very ashamed.

Noble Xi stood on the side, but was taken aback for a while, obviously not knowing what happened.

"Now that you know, go back and continue the grounding."

Seeing Su Lijin slumped, a faint smile appeared in Xiao Shengyun's eyes, as well as his pampering that he hadn't even noticed.

"Chen and concubine retire."

Su Lijin agreed, turned around and left.

When she walked to the door, she seemed to have thought of something, Su Lijin stopped and said to the eunuch who brought her just now.

"Your Majesty has been working hard in dealing with government affairs during this time, and now that the beautiful woman is by your side, it will help His Majesty to relax."

Opening the mouth with a hint of deep meaning, after Su Lijin explained, she left without looking back.

The eunuch didn't understand what he meant, and came to the hall, but just repeated what Su Lijin had just said to Xiao Shengyun.

Xiao Shengyun smiled helplessly, but he didn't know whether Jin'er was angry because he grounded her or was jealous?
If the latter...

Noble Xi also heard this sentence, thinking that with the promotion of the empress, he must be able to stay tonight to serve the bed.

She said happily: "The concubine will definitely serve the emperor well."

While still reviewing the memorial, Xiao Shengyong silently set his eyes on nobleman Xi beside him.

In nobleman Xi's eyes, the emperor was looking at her affectionately, and she heard Xiao Shengyun say to herself.

"In that case, you will stay here tonight..."

"The concubine obeys the order!" Noble Xi had an uncontrollable smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Shengxun's words were actually not finished yet.

"Study ink for me."

His expression froze, nobleman Xi was stunned in surprise: "What?"

"Yanmo, don't you understand?" Xiao Shengyun didn't have much patience, and when he spoke again, his tone was obviously a little cold.

"Yes, the concubine knows."

The smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she bowed her head to grind resignedly.

Time passed slowly, and the sky outside also darkened unknowingly.

Noble Xi always stood by Xiao Shengyong's side, studying ink patiently.

But her legs were already numb.

The drowsiness kept coming, nobleman Xi tried her best but still couldn't hold on anymore, the ink stick in her hand fell, and she almost fell to the ground while she was still dozing off.

Fortunately, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to support the table, and then stabilized his figure.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has lost her manners." Noble Xi knelt on the ground in fear.

Seeing that the sky outside had already started to light up, Xiao Shengyun opened his mouth.

"Let's go back."
