The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 826 Relieve Your Worry (19)
Of course, Xiao Jue would never forget the deep brotherhood in the past years, and since he was far away from his homeland, he rarely felt the care from outsiders. He said gratefully: "I naturally know that the emperor loves me, so I don't want the emperor to worry about me. There is nothing serious about me. The emperor is busy with state affairs. I don't dare to waste too much time with the emperor. Wait a little longer." Now, I will go to the Royal Study Room to report safety to the Emperor Brother."

Xiao Jun nodded and said: "Alright, then Zhenfei and Concubine Chen will go back first, you have a good rest, if you need anything, just send someone to ask for it, don't wrong yourself."

Xiao Jue leaned forward and said, "When did my brother be polite to brother Huang? Brother Huang and empress walk slowly, my brother's clothes are disheveled, forgive me for not being able to get up and see him off."

"You just lie on your stomach and catch up on sleep if you have nothing to do. How can you sleep well at night like this?" Taking Qingchen out of Yunyang Palace, the emperor said again: "I have already edited the book for King Daxia according to what you said. Send one letter to Daxia's capital at a high speed, if Mianyue knows that you are concerned about her safety, she will definitely be grateful to you."

Qingchen pursed his lips lightly, and said with a faint smile: "The concubine doesn't care for anyone's gratitude, but I just don't want the two countries to fight again, and the people on the border suffer. King Anding is a man with ulterior motives, and he does things by hook or by crook. I am afraid that the relationship between the two countries will always be difficult to live in harmony with each other."

Xiao Jun was silent for a moment, then thought carefully: "I am not very worried about him, a disfigured prince will definitely be punished severely when he goes back this time, and I am afraid it will be difficult to turn over in the future, as long as the throne does not fall into his hands Here, there is always hope for peace between the two countries.”

Seeing that it was still early and the emperor still had a lot of things to do, he sent her back to Qifeng Palace first, and then said: "I won't come to accompany you for dinner at noon, and I will come to accompany you in the evening. It's the best time for chrysanthemums to bloom I really missed the Juying cake you made when I was in the middle of the night."

Qingchen smiled and said: "The emperor thought of going with the concubine. The concubine was thinking just now that the concubine is fine after the emperor left. She wanted to take Yunlan to pick some chrysanthemums to make cakes."

"Is this a tacit understanding?" Xiao Jun wrapped the cloak around her body and said: "It rained at night, be careful of catching cold, just let the girls come out to do these things, you go back to warm up first."

Qingchen saw that although the sky was still gloomy, the sky in the south had begun to show signs of cloud clearing and fog, and it would probably clear up in an hour or two, so he said: "My concubine is not cold, since the emperor is busy, Let's go back first, the concubine will take good care of herself, how about I cook eight-treasure spine soup for the emperor tonight?"

Xiao Jun held her slightly cold hand, wanting to warm her up again, and nodded with a smile, "The things made in your small kitchen are my favorite food, I am not picky about food in other places, but There is nothing taboo about eating at your place, it is always the most comfortable, just watch and prepare."

"The concubine knows, and the concubine respectfully sends the emperor off."

After sending Xiao Jun away, Qing Chen took Yun Lan back to his own palace. As soon as he came back, Jin Xin greeted her and said back and forth: "Madam, just now Ye Chang sent Zi Zhu to say that he wanted to invite Madam to go to the hot spring palace in the afternoon. Soaking in the hot spring, I wonder if your mother is free?"

At this time last year, Ye Changzai also asked her to go to the hot springs together, but then many unsatisfactory things happened, and the two of them were busy dealing with those bad things, so they didn't take care of them. Besides, Ye Hanyu's health is getting better, and soaking in the hot spring is also good for her, so she agreed: "The emperor will come to have dinner at night, so you should prepare carefully, the weather is cold, and I want to go to the hot spring to take a dip." , do you want to go with me?"

Jin Xin couldn't wish for it, and besides, there are more than one hot springs in the hot spring palace. She had already secretly gone to soak in it several times, so she responded straightforwardly: "My maidservant will go with the empress, and let Aunt Yun and Jinxiu prepare dinner. , if the empress is worried, at worst we will come back earlier."

"That's fine, I'm really tired these two days, and I want to take a dip to relax." Sitting down and drinking a cup of hot tea, Qingchen ordered again: "The emperor wants to eat chrysanthemum cake, we Go to the Imperial Garden to pick some and come back, and I will send it to him personally when it is ready."

Jin Xin turned around to get the basket, and smiled again: "The emperor seldom says what he wants to eat, and he probably won't ask anyone else for it except the empress."

"That's why I want to cook it quickly and send it to him. Whatever we want to eat, at least there is a small kitchen where we can cook it ourselves, but the emperor has those dishes all year round. Even if there are many, it can't stand such a consistent way of eating. No matter how good the food is, if you eat too much, you will get tired of it, not to mention that in this season, the dishes are cold when they are served, and I feel uncomfortable when I think about it."

Jin Xin supported her hand and walked out, then suggested: "Then the empress will make a few more cakes and send them to the emperor, as well as lunch, if the empress feels sorry for the emperor, why don't you make some hot soup to serve him?" Send it over, anyway, it's a hot dish for the emperor."

"What you said is that if the emperor doesn't come to eat in the future, we will prepare it and send it over with a small charcoal stove, so that I can finally feel at ease in my heart."

Seeing what she said, Jin Xin couldn't help sighing: "The empress really loves the emperor. When others send cakes to eat, it's probably for the sake of winning favor, but the empress only wants to make the emperor eat more comfortably. They can't do it just because of this kind of heart." Compared with the empress, it's no wonder that the emperor always likes to come to our side, there is not so much flattery, who is not at ease. Just talk about the seat of the noble concubine, if it is given to someone else, anyone can faint with joy, Only the empress is not rare."

Qingchen shook his head and said: "You know why I don't want it, and what to do with these things, others are others, we just need to take care of ourselves."

After the pastry was finished, Yun Lan sent it to the imperial study. Seeing the steaming delicate pastries, Xiao Jun picked up a piece of chrysanthemum cake and tasted it, and said with a smile, "I never knew why Concubine Chen This pastry is different, no matter how much you eat it, you will never get tired of it, if she puts her heart into what she does, she will always be unique."

Fuquan laughed at the side and said: "Isn't it? I have never seen a woman as ingenious as Concubine Chen, not to mention anything else, that is, in the summer, at the queen's birthday banquet, the dozen or so pieces made by the empress The ice bowls all have different patterns and tastes, and I have to let the slaves make it, and the slaves can't do it even if they try their best."

Xiao Jun ate the pastry and smiled knowingly, "How much do you know, she always said that the conditions are limited, some things can't be done, and I didn't teach her those things, and I don't know where she learned them from."
