The queen is charming, but powerful ministers lure her to seize power and usurp the throne

Chapter 118 Title Waste No. 2

'' Concubine An smiled and said, "According to your request, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat it."

There are hundreds of people in the imperial dining room of the harem, and they don't have to do anything. They only care about the masters' food. Folk workshops are used to make money. How can this be compared?
Zhe Sang flipped through a page of the book and didn't take it seriously, "The best cooks in the world are all in the imperial kitchen. They just have a reputation for being louder than others, just for fun. It's nothing to regret if they don't succeed."

Concubine An also felt that this was true. They had never tasted any delicacies from the mountains and seas, but after hearing this story, they became a little curious. Even if they did buy them, they would just taste them.

Concubine An sat for a while longer, and seeing that the queen paid little attention to her, she returned to her Chongyun Palace.

After they left, Shui Po said strangely, "If I hadn't been sure that there was no one in her palace, I would have thought that she had taken on some secret mission and had to come to Yong'an Palace to sit for an hour every day."

Zhe Sang sat there for a while and felt his back was sore, so he put away the book and got up to walk around.

"I don't understand why you come here to make yourself uncomfortable. It takes time to see people's hearts, let's take another look."

After the concubine ceremony, apart from greetings, Concubine An always had to stay in Yong'an Palace for an extra hour. Zhe Sang ignored her, so she just sat there. If Zhe Sang talked to her, regardless of whether he could pick her up, she would Will not let the words fall to the ground.

A person who rambles can go on and on. As soon as Zhesang opens his mouth, she will immediately stop and wait for Zhesang to say. If Zhesang becomes slightly impatient, she will immediately shut up and sit quietly. Standing without making any sound.

This is the case every day, rain or shine.

With her look like this, it would be hard for Zhisang to chase people away.

It was cold and windy outside, and even with the doors and windows closed, you could still hear the wind, and your bones would tremble.

Zhe Sang was a little worried, "There were still a few rays of winter sunshine in the morning, but Chongqing didn't wear his cloak when he went out because it was in the way. It's so cold when we walk back with such heavy snow, and it's almost dark."

Shui Po was lighting the lamp and said, "I asked the little maid to send it off just now. I guess he will be back after a while."

Just as he was talking, there was movement outside the door, and it was Chongqing's voice.

Chongqing opened the curtain and came in with a cold air, but his eyebrows were very excited and seemed to be happy.

Shui Po looked at her and asked curiously, "Isn't that a water-red cloak that I sent? Where did you find the black cloak? It's so long, aren't you tired from holding it all the way?"

Chongqing took off his cloak, patted the snow scum on it, and said with a smile, "Supervisor Lu was saying that it was snowing heavily today and it was dark and the roads were slippery, so he let me back early. The east entrance was blocked by snow, so I went around to the Imperial Palace. Coming back from the garden corridor."

Shui Po: "I think the little palace maid missed you. Whose cloak does it belong to?"

Chongqing simply said, "He lent it to me."

Zhe Sang felt something was wrong, walked to her and handed her a hand stove.

"Didn't he always think you were stupid, so why were you so kind today? Could it be that he knew beforehand and brought two cloaks with him? Otherwise, what would he do if he lent them to you?"

Chongqing was surrounded by her and looked at her, his face was flushed by the heat in the room, he looked cute and cute.

Chongqing was very uncomfortable with her look and said dryly, "My dear, don't look at me like that. I'm stupid. I can't guess what he is thinking."

She told him that she didn't need his cloak and just ran back. He didn't say anything, threw the cloak on the ground with a straight face, and walked away.

"That's all, tell me when you know."

Zhe Sang didn't embarrass her, he just pulled her to the stove and said, "Why are you standing so far away? Walk in the ice and snow. Sit here to warm yourself. Be careful not to get sick."

Zhe Sang was talked about by Shui Po every day, and was somewhat infected by her.

Chongqing said, "Mom, please stay away from me, don't get cold." Zhe Sang said, "My body is not that weak yet."

Shui Po smiled and asked, "Really?"

Zhe Sang thought of the days when he was dominated by the bitter medicine and said nothing.

"Your Majesty, you will have dinner early today. Later I will boil water with some blood-warming Chinese medicine and give it to you so that you can sleep warm at night."

Shui Po said, summoned the little maid and ordered her to go down.

After a while, there was movement outside.

Chong Qing said, "The imperial kitchen is so busy today? Has it been prepared in advance?"

Shui Po felt strange, opened the curtain to take a look, and turned around.

"It's Mr. Little Ye Ye who is beside the Holy Master."

The three of them frowned. What were the people around the emperor doing at this hour?
Xiao Yezi obviously didn't know that he was not popular. He felt that among the twelve hours in a day, he was the most popular at this hour!

Can you still do it after dark?Of course he was sleeping, and which palace he appeared in meant that the emperor would stay overnight in that palace. For such a good thing, who among the concubines in the harem wouldn't want little Ye Zi to visit?
So he happily came to Yong'an Palace, looked at the toes of the Queen's shoes and said with a smile, "The Holy One said that he would come over after approving the folds in his hand. Knowing that the Queen is afraid of the cold, he specially sent a servant to come over and say it first, so as to prevent the Queen from getting up again after falling asleep. .”

Zhe Sang: If you don’t come, I don’t have to bother you.
The queen smiled and said, "I understand, thank you, father-in-law."

Little Leaf always felt that something was not right. When she passed by the Bixia Palace, she suddenly remembered how the Queen could not smile at all.

The cold wind blew through the bare branches, making a sound like a ghost whimpering. Little Leaf felt her hands and feet were cold, so she hurriedly wrapped herself in a cloak and quickened her pace.

"Did Your Majesty not come to the harem to spend the night after the concubine ceremony?" Zhe Sang suddenly asked.

They were all busy with their own affairs these days, and nothing happened in the harem. She didn't want to hear about the emperor's dirty things, and the emperor didn't come to provoke her, so she didn't take it to heart.

Shui Po said, "Yes."

Zhe Sang thought of Concubine An's abnormal behavior again, "Could it be that something happened in Chongyun Palace that night, and Concubine An made the Holy Emperor unhappy?"

"It makes sense to think so."

The three people discussed for a while, but in the end there was no clear result. Since Concubine An had offended the emperor, why did the emperor remain silent?He has always had the temper to beat anyone who offends him, so there is no reason to swallow his anger like this.

"Mother, can I still take medicine?" Chongqing asked.

"Here, warm the pot and heat the wine, put it in the wine as usual, and light the incense, just in case."

Shui Po disagreed, "If you light incense, the empress is also in the room. If he doesn't drink, I will stab him with a knife, knock him out, and then drink it again."

"If something bad happens, it will be even more troublesome. Isn't there a matching antidote? I'll take it first. Later, you can drive those servants out too. Don't let them smell bad things."

Chong Qing said, "It's very cold outside, so I'll just boil a few more jars of wine. When the queen blows out the lamp, she will take everyone to the west side hall to drink."

Zhe Sang smiled and said, "This is a good idea."

　The emperor comes to drink medicinal wine again~
