Chapter 63
The matter of the emperor installing a small kitchen for Yi Xiuyuan, the low-ranking ones dare not think about it, but the high-ranking ones have it themselves.

Zhen Chongyi and Ke Concubine were uncomfortable, needless to say Zhen Chongyi, but Ke Concubine felt that the emperor's favor was not only for Yi Xiuyuan, but also for the Fifth Prince.

Also a concubine, the fifth prince can always see the emperor because of Yi Xiuyuan since he was a child, and his own A Xing doesn't even get any special treatment.

"Luo Dai, go to Taichen Palace and invite the emperor to dinner, just say that the second prince misses his father."

The more Kebi thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. Whenever she encountered the matter of the second prince, the mask she maintained on the surface couldn't be worn at all.

Luo Dai also knew that this matter cannot be persuaded, so she honestly went to Taichen Palace to invite the emperor.

When they arrived at Taichen Palace, the outer hall was served by Fu Jiu.

Luo Dai spoke kindly, and stuffed another purse, Fu Jiu nodded, "Then please wait a moment, Miss Luo Dai."

The master said that although Kebi was blacklisted by the emperor, she gave birth to the second prince after all, and the second prince is a well-behaved and lovable child, so it is enough to be polite on weekdays.

Fu Jiu entered the inner hall and whispered a few words in the master's ear.

Ming Zhong raised his head and glanced at the emperor, Xie Xiao looked a little inexplicable, he didn't know whether it was speechless or something else, and slowly drew a circle on the memorial with a red brush.

"Your Majesty, Master Ke concubine invites you to have dinner tonight. His Highness the Second Prince has learned a new poem and wants to recite it to you."

The memorial in front of Xie Xiao was handed over by an official from the south, saying that the fruit harvest over there was plentiful, and the minister had already picked the best part, and sent someone to the capital for the emperor to taste.

"What?" The fruit harvest is abundant, he, the emperor, is of course happy, there is no need to send it so far away.

Mingzhong had no choice but to repeat what he had just said.

When Xie Xiao heard that it was Kebi who wanted to say no, but the second prince. . .He pinched the space between his brows, "Well, dinner will be at Kebi's place."

Kebi was very happy to get the letter of approval.Almost all the dishes that the emperor used to eat were put on the dining table.

Xie Xiao had a very gentle attitude when having dinner, and even praised the second prince a few words, and played with the second prince for a while.

The second prince seemed particularly excited all night, chattering a lot, and finally dozed off from exhaustion before going to sleep with the nanny.

Kebi looked at the second prince leaving lovingly, hesitated for a moment, and said in a nervous and soft voice, "It's getting late, my concubine should serve the emperor and rest."

The emperor glanced at Kebi, avoided Kebi's hand indifferently, and stood up, "No need, I'm going back to Taichen Palace, you should rest early."

After the emperor left, needles could be heard in the side hall of Jingning Palace, and none of Luo Dailuoqing's close maids dared to step forward.

Kebin's hands were frozen in the air, his face gradually became gloomy and frightening, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

But she can't throw things or vent her anger by yelling. The emperor didn't stay overnight. If you behave inappropriately, aren't you dissatisfied with the emperor?

However, the emperor failed to go back to Taichen Palace, and was intercepted by Lady Li on the way.

Somehow Kebi was ridiculed behind the scenes, but Miss Li was proud of herself for several days.

The concubines in the harem who are not like this, take the emperor's favor as capital to show off.

Gu Panfu was so busy arranging her small kitchen that she didn't have time to deal with it.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a good eye for filling Yi Xiuyuan's small kitchen with palace staff, and sent them to Lingxi Palace to show Mama Ma's eyes.

According to the master's request, Ma Momo kept a chef who could cook Sichuan cuisine and desserts, and the others looked at Ma Momo to choose by herself.

The next day, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Hanrui Hanlu thought that since her master does not perform talents, she must put her heart into dressing up.

Therefore, Gu Panfu wore a goose-yellow long dress with twigs and butterflies, and embroidered shoes with pearls.The flying fairy wears a silver corolla in her bun, with a little pearl between her eyebrows.

The swaying posture and the lotus growing at every step really amazed everyone.

Gu Panfu doesn't always dress up very well, most of the time she is well-behaved, but occasionally she will become the focus of ingenuity.

Even Zhen Chongyi has to admit that Yi Xiuyuan has always been a beauty.

Xie Xiao saw Gu Panfu from the very beginning of the banquet, and took a few casual glances for half a quarter of an hour.

Yi Xiuyuan's beautiful peach blossom eyes shone brightly.The tails of the eyes were slightly raised, with a blush.

Xie Xiao tapped the armrest a few times, the queen glanced at him and said nothing.In all fairness, if she were the emperor, she would also like someone like Yi Xiuyuan.

One-third of the banquet went on, and several daughters of the clan's family began to perform dances. According to their seniority, these could be regarded as the emperor's nieces, and it was normal to perform on New Year's Day.

Then came the performances of the concubines, which can be regarded as the meaning of throwing bricks to attract jade.

Fang Liangren stood up with a smile, "My concubine has learned a new dance, but the time to practice it is a bit short, please forgive me, Your Majesty and Empress."

When the emperor raised his hand, the queen responded with a smile all over her face.

Fang Liangren went to change into an orange-red dance skirt, the skirt was divided into layers, and the fragrant shoulders were faintly visible in the gauze.

However, what Fang Liangren danced was a very cheerful dance music.She also put in a lot of hard work, and her movements are quite powerful, with a warm and pungent feeling.

Once the dance was over, the scene immediately heated up.

"My concubine dances gracefully, well, thank you." Xie Xiao was quite happy to see it, and complimented her face very much.

Fang Liangren panted lightly, blushing and thanking him.

Miss Li couldn't sit still when she saw this, "I'm afraid the concubine's dancing posture is not as good as that of the upper sister, but she can only play the piano well."

Lady Li's maid, Hongjuan, holds a Guqin and carefully places it on the stage.

Lady Li is wearing a pale green palace dress today, sitting in front of the guqin with a stance, her bare hands are slender.

Her piano skills are really good, and a unique tea-picking tune is refreshing.

Xie Xiao also rewarded it with a smile on his face.

Next, Yu Liangren wrote a word, and Shen Liangren drew a picture.

It was Liang Ronghua's turn, and her talent was quite special, playing the waist drum.

The emperor was very interested, and asked a few more questions. Liang Ronghua was usually low-key and dignified, but he didn't expect to hide a trump card, which could be regarded as catching the emperor's eyes.

Zhen Chongyi saw that everyone's performances were similar, and waited for the finale before Shi Shiran stood up, "The concubine prepared a song, and sang it for the emperor and empress to enjoy."

Zhen Chongyi is good at singing and dancing, everyone has known this since she was in Qiandi, if she didn't have any skills, she wouldn't have been favored for so many years, and she is still favored even now.

Zhen Chongyi held the pipa in her arms, and played and sang a popular tune at the moment. The singing voice was melodious, as if crying.

After a song, there were praises from the clansmen all around, but Xie Xiao's expression faded, he didn't like it much, and the light reward passed.

Gu Panfu sat on top of Zhen Chongyi, and she could see Zhen Chongyi's expression at a glance.

She could hardly keep her smile, her lips were a little pale, and she was so wronged that she was about to cry.

She has been preparing for this performance for a long time, and her voice is almost hoarse.Thinking of making the emperor astonishing again and stabilizing his favor.

The emperor has such an attitude now, is he dissatisfied with himself?The low-level ones can get a few words of praise from him, but when it comes to me, there is not even a word?

Gu Panfu picked up a piece of pastry and took a small bite. This Zhen Chongyi has served the emperor for so many years, how could he not even figure out the emperor's thoughts.

None of the people in the harem, above the rank of concubine, performed on stage today.

A concubine Jia who is so good at dancing is not in her early years, and Zhen Chongyi is still favored after she is a nine concubine, and she is still fighting for these low positions, isn't it ugly.

Xie Xiao still pays attention to the face of the royal family. Those who came out of the hidden mansion still care about these things. It doesn't have to make people feel petty. Wouldn't it be better for you to leave it to the emperor to perform alone.

When it was time to finish the banquet, Xie Xiao also felt a little drunk. It seemed that he was holding the queen's hand, but in fact it was the queen who was supporting him.

Today is the fifteenth day, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the emperor will stay overnight in Fengyi Palace.

None of the concubines would be so courageous as to cut off the queen's beard, they would resign honestly, and leave without any regrets.

Next, everyone began to look forward to where the emperor would turn over the brand. The expectations of the performance were higher, or it was not for nothing.

But the emperor is always difficult to guess. It is normal to play cards not according to common sense. The emperor didn't turn over anyone, and he slept in Taichen Palace for three days.

In the early morning of this day, Gu Panfu had just put on her clothes, and Lu Qi reported outside, "My lady, Jiang Shunv from Yihua Palace had a miscarriage just now, and the empress has spared everyone's greetings."

Gu Panfu's thrush paused, and turned her head in surprise.

Jiang Shunv has been free from illness and disaster, and she has never heard of anything wrong with her pregnancy, why she suddenly had a miscarriage.

"Ma'am, do you want to take a look?" Hanrui asked.

Gu Panfu pondered for a moment, "Lu Qi, go and find out what's going on first. If Concubine Rong has gone to several high positions, I'll go again."

Lu Qi was ordered to go down to inquire.

Gu Panfu continued to tidy herself up, and after about two quarters of an hour, Lu Qi came back.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother said to let Jiang Shunv rest and rest, so there is no need to disturb her everywhere."

"Well, did you tell me the reason for the miscarriage?" Gu Panfu nodded, it seems that this was an accidental miscarriage, and it shouldn't be someone who did it secretly.

"It's because Miss Jiang is not in good health, and the pregnancy has been unstable, and the first three months are the critical time, so..."

Gu Panfu was taken aback for a moment, but it was because of her health. She thought that Jiang Shunv's poor health was a human design, but it turned out that she was really bad.

She thought about it again, Miss Jiang is only sixteen this year, no wonder. . .

"Send some supplements in accordance with the rules."

The emperor also knew about this when he came to court early. After finishing his government affairs, he went to see Jiang Shunv.

Jiang Shunv was very calm herself, she suddenly became pregnant, and the child died when she felt nothing.

The maid also said that she is still young, and she will have plenty of opportunities in the future.

Jiang Shunv was not so sad, she only shed a few tears when the emperor came up, she didn't cry and make a scene, but she won the emperor's favor.

The emperor hasn't flipped the card for another half a month, and Miss Li is already anxious, and she reveals something when she pays her respects to the queen.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was the first to find Gu Panfu.

"The emperor wants to invite me to dinner?" Gu Panfu looked at the drizzle outside, and asked Fu Jiu who came to deliver the message in surprise.

"Yes, there is a chef who can cook folk dishes in the imperial dining room, and the emperor asked the servants to invite Madam Yixiu Yuan to try something new." Fu Jiu smiled, with a flattering look on his face.

"Okay, I'm going to change clothes." Gu Panfu also smiled, not happy when someone invited him to dinner.
