Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 6
The reason why Shangshanfang presented Tao Ranju with four dishes and one soup today, and added extra dishes, was entirely because the emperor sent Tao Ranju a reward.

The manager of the dining room did not expect that Kang Ninghai arrived just after the maid from Tao Ranju left.

Seeing Kang Ninghai, Li Yuan, the manager of the Shangshanfang, rushed up to greet him, and gave Kang Ninghai a slap, "My chief manager, why are you here in person? But what does the emperor want to eat?"

"Mr. Li is polite. The emperor is having dinner at Tao Ranju tonight. I came here to inform you. When Mr. Li sends someone to deliver the dinner, he should be more careful."

After all, Kang Ninghai is an old man in the palace, and he knows the things about the high and low in the palace. It can be said that as long as he wants to know about the big and small things in the harem, he will be able to know.

The situation at Tao Ranju was asked by the emperor when he sent him to give glazed lanterns. He knew Shangshanfang's negligence towards Tao Ranju, so his words also had a hint of meaning.

After hearing what Kang Ninghai said, Li Yuan's face immediately changed color. He didn't care about being polite to Kang Ninghai, so he quickly turned his head and shouted at a little eunuch, "Hurry up and get Miss Zisu from Tao Ranju Get it back!"

After hearing Li Yuan's words, the little eunuch quickly responded and chased after Tao Ranju.

Kang Ninghai naturally also heard Li Yuan's words, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and a smile appeared on his lips.

In the harem, you can see that people are unlucky at any time.

If the little eunuch was one step faster and caught up with him, it would be easy to say anything. If he didn't catch up, the meals would still be the same as in the past, and it is estimated that the good days of this Director Li will be over.

Of course, the extent to which Manager Li is unlucky depends on the master of Tao Ranju.

"Ouch, my chief manager, what do you think should be done? What should I do?"

When the little eunuch left, Li Yuan turned to look at Kang Ninghai, and said with a mournful face.

"Mr. Li, don't think about that for now, the emperor is still waiting for dinner, you should hurry up and think of a remedy."

Seeing Li Yuan's appearance, Kang Ninghai opened his mouth with a smile, Li Yuan responded repeatedly, cupped his hands at him, turned and entered the dining room.

This side has already been notified, Kang Ninghai didn't stay any longer, turned around and headed back towards Tao Ranju.

"Aifei's tea is very special." Taking a sip from the teacup on the table, Emperor Jing couldn't help raising his eyebrows. This is not tea from the palace, but the taste is very special.

There is a fragrance in the entrance, and the fragrance goes down the throat to the stomach, which is indescribably ironed.

"Your Majesty has praised me, and this tea is also thanks to the handicraft of red sandalwood, so this concubine has this unique taste here."

Tao Ranju was severely withheld. Even if the tea was allocated, it was old tea from previous years.

Su Qingyan likes tea, so the old tea is naturally not in her mouth. Although she brought some good tea from home when she entered the palace, she has been in the palace for three years and drank all the good tea.

Zitan followed Su Qingyan into the palace, she knew her master's preferences, and she couldn't drink the tea sent by the palace, so she simply learned to make some scented tea by herself.

In the harem, there are the most flowers, and they bloom all year round, so Su Qingyan drinks different scented teas throughout the year.

"It tastes good, I'll make some for you later." Being used to drinking tea in the palace, Emperor Jing wanted to change his flavor occasionally, so Su Qingyan naturally couldn't refuse, she responded with a smile, and glanced at Zitan.

Zitan naturally understood what her master meant, and fortunately she usually made a lot of tea, otherwise, she might not be able to get it out.

Kang Ninghai came back soon, and not long after, the people from the dining room also brought dinner.

Served by Zisu and Zitan, all the food was placed on the table. Looking at the food on the table, Su Qingyan couldn't help but lament that being an emperor does have the benefits of being an emperor.

The combined value of the dishes on this table is probably worth a month's worth of my own.

"Aifei, eat quickly, or it will be cold in a while." Seeing Su Qingyan staring at the dishes on the table, Emperor Jing smiled and said that the food has been tried by Kang Ninghai, and it is ready to eat now.

After thanking her, Su Qingyan picked up her rice bowl and began to eat seriously.

Seeing Su Qingyan eating mouthfuls, surprise flashed in Emperor Jing's eyes. He is the emperor, and there are so many concubines in the harem. , I haven't encountered it yet.

On weekdays, when Emperor Jing accompanied his concubines to eat, they all ate in extremely small mouthfuls. Before Emperor Jing could move a few chopsticks, they put down the chopsticks in their hands and wiped their mouths with handkerchiefs.

However, Su Qingyan's behavior made Emperor Jing feel very happy from the bottom of his heart. Ever since he came to Tao Ranju, he was still so relaxed.

Kang Ninghai stood beside Emperor Jing, serving Emperor Jing's meal. Seeing Emperor Jing's expression, Kang Ninghai couldn't help but glance at Su Qingyan.

Recently, the previous court was busy with things, and the emperor had a lot of troubles. It's been a long time since I saw the emperor's relaxed expression. It seems that this Su Fangyi is quite capable.

When Emperor Jing put down his chopsticks, Su Qingyan put down his chopsticks too, and Emperor Jing had a smile on his lips, "Is Aifei full?"

"If you go back to the emperor, I will be full." Nodding, Su Qingyan felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing the blush on Su Qingyan's face, the smile on Emperor Jing's lips deepened, "Just finished eating, why don't you go for a walk with me?"

Naturally, Su Qingyan would not refuse the emperor's invitation. Even if the emperor didn't say anything, she would find a way to go out for a while, after all, she ate a little too much for dinner.

Holding Su Qingyan's hand, Emperor Jing stood up and led her towards Tao Ranju.

Although Tao Ranju's location is a bit off, the surrounding scenery is very good. It's almost dark today, so the two of them just walked around Taoranju for a while, and then returned to Taoranju.

It was getting dark, and Su Qingyan couldn't help feeling a little nervous. The emperor didn't seem to intend to rest here, but looking at the current situation, it seemed that she had no intention of leaving.

The women in the harem all hoped that the emperor could stay in their residence, but Su Qingyan was an exception, she wished that the emperor would leave now.

Just because the emperor came to Tao Ranju for dinner, I'm afraid she will be in a lot of trouble tomorrow. If she really stays overnight, I think she will have to deal with it tomorrow morning to greet her.

Emperor Jing looked at Su Qingyan, he could feel that she was resistant to him, which made Emperor Jing very interesting, after all, such a situation had never happened around him...
