Chapter 12 You have to hurt when you want to hurt

She avoided everything related to the Empress Yuan, and ordered people to cut down all the peach trees that her empress liked in Changle Hall, and she never even took a bite of her empress' favorite peach blossom cake.

Even if Gao Changchen would call out to Huang Jie first when he learned to speak, Gao Changle's heart was as cold as a knife.

Gao Changle became more self-willed and tricky, and lost his temper at the slightest inconvenience.

The more Emperor Jiayuan loved her, the more unwilling he was to punish her, the more she felt that Emperor Jiayuan was guilty. If it weren't for the presence of so many concubines in the harem, the queen mother would not have plotted against others. Gao Changle's extreme.

Even if she later found out that Chang Chen was not to blame at all, he was just a child with a hard life, and she wanted to hear his sister Huang, but she couldn't.

Even if she later understood that the harem was closely connected with the previous dynasty when she was in power and supervised the country, sometimes being favored does not mean love, but for the sake of power checks and balances, and it is too late to say sorry to Emperor Jiayuan.

Because of her paranoia, she hurt the two closest people in the world...

It turns out that some things don't exist if you don't want to forget them on purpose.

Those pains are buried deep in my heart like a needle. You may not feel it when you don’t pay attention, but it doesn’t exist, and when it wants you to hurt, you have to hurt.

I haven't seen the peach blossom cake for many years. It still looks like the one made by my mother back then, but I don't know how it tastes.

Gao Changle stretched out his hand slowly, did not ask Zhu Yu to help, but took a piece of peach blossom cake by himself, as if he had exhausted all his strength, Gao Changle could feel the trembling of her arm, Li Shao frowned , seeing Gao Changle's actions.

"Your Highness, try it. If there is anything wrong, this servant will replace you with another imperial cook tomorrow."

Seeing Gao Changle who had not moved for a long time, Zhu Xi rushed forward to be careful. She didn't know what Gao Changle was thinking, but saw Gao Changle's brows furrowed and his eyes lowered, thinking that Gao Changle thought it was made of peach blossom cakes. No, I'm a little angry.

Originally there were a lot of royal cooks in the palace who knew how to make peach blossom cakes, but Gao Changle hadn't eaten it for three years, and no one was allowed to mention it. He suddenly said that he wanted to eat it, which caught the people below a little off guard.

Gao Changle didn't answer Zhu Xi, but just put the peach blossom cake in his mouth and took a bite.

bitter.

What she had eaten in memory, and made by the Empress Yuan herself, were all sweet.

Gao Changle put down the peach blossom cake he had bitten into, and took a deep breath to hide the tears in his eyes, trying to make his voice sound calm, "Li Shao."

"The servant is here!" Li Shao stepped forward.

"Go and send this plate of peach blossom cake to Chaoyang Palace." Gao Changle said lightly.

At this moment, Emperor Jiayuan was having dinner with Concubine Cao Shu in Chaoyang Palace. This peach blossom cake was not for Concubine Cao Shu, but for Emperor Jiayuan.

In the blink of an eye, Li Shao had already figured out Gao Changle's intentions, picked up the plate of peach blossom cake, and put it in a red lacquered wooden food box, "Yes, I'll do it now, my servant."

Li Shao's figure left and disappeared into the night, but Zhu Cui didn't know when she got up, and she looked in front of Gao Changle in shame, "Your Highness..."

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, servant... the servant didn't do it on purpose!"

Dare to pass out while on duty, when Zhucui woke up, she felt that it was a bolt from the blue. According to Gao Changle's character, she didn't even peel off her own skin, she was the most favored face, and she was afraid of making such a mistake. Nor will Gao Changle forgive him.

Zhu Cui closed her eyes, looking like she was going to die generously, but Gao Changle didn't seem to hear it, but instead directed Zhu Yu to eat after her.

Zhu Xi quietly waved her hand to signal Zhu Cui to back off, and said in a low voice, "Sister Zhu Cui, Your Highness is in a good mood right now, so don't come forward to make the princess unhappy!"

Well, Gao Changle is in a good mood now.

This is what Li Shao said, and it has nothing to do with the crested ibis!
"Really?"

Zhucui breathed a sigh of relief, obediently stood by Gao Changle's side, and showed her courtesy from time to time.

-

Chaoyang Hall.

The orange glazed palace lantern seemed to dispel the night and illuminate the entire bedroom.

Concubine Cao Shu is wearing a light blue long dress with silver patterns embroidered with white butterfly flowers. She is wearing a simple peach heart hairpin, and a jade hairpin is inserted obliquely. Delicate, charming and sultry, she was looking affectionately at the middle-aged man in front of him wearing a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered with bright yellow gold thread.

"What do you think of the dishes tonight, Your Majesty?"

"The concubine cooks it all by herself. I heard that the emperor is always in a hurry these days. I think it is due to the exhaustion of reviewing memorials day and night. I specially made a bowl of lotus seed and white fungus soup for you to moisten your lungs and relieve your cough. Would you like to try it, Your Majesty? "

Concubine Cao Shu did not come from a high family background, but she has an outstanding appearance and a very gentle and considerate personality. When she was in Chaoyang Palace, she always made Emperor Jiayuan relax a lot. Therefore, it may be because Concubine Cao Shu loved Gao Changle so much that she favored her at first. Later, it was Emperor Jiayuan who wanted to come to rest.

"Alright."

Emperor Jiayuan nodded.

Concubine Cao Shu stepped forward with a happy face, carefully filled a bowl for Emperor Jiayuan and brought it to him, and then arranged the dishes in the bowl for Emperor Jiayuan. She looked at Emperor Jiayuan with a bit of shyness while she was seated.

She is already middle-aged, but Emperor Jiayuan's body is becoming more and more calm and handsome, and the sculpted and angular features have become a bit more mature due to the precipitation of years. The scene where the palace meets Emperor Jiayuan.

It's just that, at that time, her status was humble, and she was just a beloved person who couldn't be called a name.

At that time, she never dared to think that she would have a day by the side of Emperor Jiayuan.

Under Concubine Cao Shu's expectant gaze, Emperor Jiayuan slowly drank a few sips of white fungus soup, and flatly praised, "Your craftsmanship is still so good."

"It's just that it's so hot in midsummer, you don't have to do these things yourself."

After being praised by Emperor Jiayuan, Concubine Cao Shu blushed more and more, her cheeks blushed a little while she lowered her head, "What did the emperor say? To get your praise, the concubine is dead. It's worth it, not to mention cooking for the emperor to wash his hands and make soup."

"I am willing."

"As long as the emperor likes it, I am willing to work for the emperor for the rest of my life!"

Emperor Jiayuan patted Concubine Cao Shu's hand and didn't say much, he understood that Concubine Cao Shu was only good at doing these things, so he turned to talk about other topics, "Why don't you see Changxue?"

Speaking of Gao Changxue, Concubine Cao Shu's eyes were full of spring water, "Don't blame the emperor, this child Changxue is a little too ignorant."
