Chapter 8
Leng Gong.

At noon, when it was time to serve the meal, the concubines in the cold palace all walked to the palace gate one after another and received their meals through the small window open by the door.

If someone in the family is willing to contribute money to support her, or if she earns money herself and pays it to the imperial kitchen like the old concubine, the food she receives will not be bad.Those who are abandoned by the family will only receive meals like pig food.

Xu Taibin, with disheveled hair, looked at the pig food in her bowl, and then glanced at the braised pork and braised fish held by Wang Jieyu, making her salivate.

Although Wang Jieyu was relegated to the cold palace, her brother, who was the Minister of Rites, did not give up on her. During the holidays, he would ask someone to bring things in, and he would also prepare the imperial kitchen every month, so her meals were as follows The best in the cold palace.

She also relied on the things sent in by her brother and the good food to win over three younger concubines from the cold palace and let them eat and live with her.

So much so that other people in this cold palace, even if they are greedy, don't dare to snatch her, because they can't win and they can't snatch it.

As long as Xu Taibin thought that Wang Jieyu was a lower-ranking Jieyu before she entered the cold palace, but she had better food than herself, she would hate the heartless brothers in the family.

When she received all the favors, her family did not know how much glory she gained. But as soon as she lost her Sacred Heart and was thrown into the cold palace, her family simply abandoned her.

The wrinkled beauty Liu Meiren walked to Mrs. Xu with her food in hand, sniffed hard and said, "Wang Taibin, have you smelled that there is always a smell of meat in this cold palace recently?"

Xu Taibin glanced at Wang Jieyu, who was walking towards the dormitory with a few people, and said angrily: "Some people eat meat every meal, so naturally you can smell the fragrance of meat in this cold palace."

Liu Meiren shook her head and said, "No, it's not. It's different from that smell. It's just like the smell that comes out during cooking. Smell it carefully. Sometimes the aroma is there even before we get the meal."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xu twitched her nose and sniffed hard, and she really smelled the aroma of meat, which was also like the aroma of fireworks. "It seems like it's coming from behind? Could it be that someone is cooking for himself in the cold palace?"

Liu Meiren thought for a moment and said, "That old lady, Mrs. Sun, lives in the back. I just saw that she received the meal."

"Isn't there the new emperor's deposed empress and her maid living in the back? Speaking of which, I haven't seen the maid receiving food for a few days. Maybe they are cooking in the palace! Come on, let's go and have a look. Look."

They had seen the crippled queen when she first entered the cold palace. She was as young as she was in her early twenties.Logically speaking, the abandoned queen can be considered their junior. If she cooked meat, she should be respectful and feed them some.

Xu Taibi took Liu Meiren to the back. The further back she went, the stronger the fragrance became. It still smelled like chicken soup.

When they reached the courtyard door that smelled of chicken soup, Concubine Xu pushed it open with her hand, and they walked in directly.

Caiwei was opening the casserole to see if the chicken soup inside was ready when she suddenly heard a "crunch". She turned around and saw two sloppy old women walking into the yard, staring straight at the pot on the stove. Casserole, swallowing saliva.

Caiwei was startled and immediately blocked the stove with her body. She also held the knife on the small table in her hand. She stared at them defensively and blamed herself in her heart for not bolting the courtyard door.

She herself spent more than eight months in the cold palace and ate pig food for a long time.So she knows very well how tempting a pot of chicken soup is to these old people who have been in the cold palace for more than ten or twenty years, and what shameless things they can do to it.

Concubine Xu looked at the little palace maid who was holding a kitchen knife and looking at them defensively, knowing that if they wanted to rob them forcefully, they wouldn't be able to do it.They are too old to beat a young girl, let alone one with a knife in their hand!
"What do you want to do?" Caiwei plucked up the courage and came out pretending to be very powerful and not to be trifled with.

Xu Taibin quickly put on a kind face and said with a smile: "Oh! Don't get me wrong, girl, we just smelled the fragrance and followed the fragrance to get here. Speaking of which, I also have more than ten I haven’t had chicken soup in years.” At this point, she became sad.

She has been in the cold palace for 15 years. Since then, she has been abandoned by her family. She can only eat meat once during the Chinese New Year, let alone chicken soup.Leng Luoyue, who was inside the house, heard voices outside and called out, "Caiwei, who is here?"

Caiwei replied: "The fragrance in our courtyard attracted the two old people in this palace."

When Leng Luoyue in the room heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows. After thinking about it for a moment, she said to Caiwei, "Invite the two of them in!"

Although Caiwei felt that the two people should be kicked out immediately, Leng Luoyue asked Caiwei to invite them in, and she asked them to follow her into the house with a defensive look.

Xu Taibi and Liu Meiren did not expect that the abandoned queen would invite them into the house and entered the house with the bowl in hand.

Entering the inner room of the main house, they saw the cripple sitting on the bed against the wall with a child in her arms.

Wait...kid!
Concubine Xu and Meiren Liu couldn't believe what they saw. They rubbed their eyes and opened them again, only to find that the crippled queen was indeed holding a child in her arms.

How come there are children in this cold palace?Where did this child come from?This cripple is still lying on the bed covered with a quilt in the summer, as if she is confinement. Could it be that she gave birth to this child?
I didn’t expect that!This deposed queen was actually pregnant when she was thrown into the cold palace. This new emperor was more cruel than his father, and even sent women who were pregnant with his children into the cold palace.

Leng Luoyue was a little surprised when she saw them, because they looked so slovenly. They were all from the Leng Palace, so the old concubine had tidied herself up neatly.

But their hair was not combed, and their faces looked greasy. They hadn't washed them in an unknown amount of time.

They are all from the cold palace, and they are both concubines of the late emperor. Why is there such a big gap!
"What's your name?"

"I, I..." Concubine Xu stuttered because she was too shocked to see the child, "I am the late Emperor's concubine Xu, you can just call me Concubine Xu."

"I am the late emperor's beauty, you can just call me Liu Meiren."

Leng Luoyue smiled and said: "Both of you are the late emperor's concubines, so they are my elders."

"This child?" Xu Taibi looked at Leng Luoyue and asked.

"I gave birth."

"The emperor's?" Liu Meiren asked.

Leng Luoyue nodded.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Liu Meiren clicked her tongue and said, "This emperor is really cruel, even his own son will be spared."

Although they heard that Leng Tianming had the intention to rebel, the new emperor had to depose his daughter.But the crippled queen is actually carrying his child in her arms, and this tiger's poison doesn't even eat its children!Could it be that he relegated the deposed queen to the cold palace because he wanted her and the child in her belly to fend for themselves in the cold palace?
This abandoned queen was pregnant with a child, could survive in the cold palace, and even gave birth to the child. She was really blessed and blessed!It is really pitiful for a good prince to be born in a cold palace.

Before they were thrown into the cold palace, Concubine Xu and Meiren Liu were both ruthless and ruthless, fighting to the death with the concubines in the harem.But after staying in this cold palace for more than ten years, they began to sympathize with others.
