Chapter 124

After a few more snowfalls, it entered the twelfth lunar month.

In the past, every twelfth lunar month, whether it was Zhao Jing or Xie Zhao, would be extraordinarily busy, and now is no exception.

Zhao Jing was busy reviewing the official documents sent by the provinces, as well as the letters sent by some allies or dependent countries around him, and had to deal with the affairs of the clan.

As for Xie Zhao, she had to deal with not only the New Year's Eve banquet and the affairs of the palace, but also the affairs of the clan.

"Your Majesty, a letter from the residence of the Marquis of Zhongyong." Xiao Yun came in from outside the hall and presented a letter.

After receiving the letter, Xie Zhao opened it to read, with a smile on his face, "Send someone to inquire, where is His Majesty at noon?"

Xie Zhao reckoned that most of them were in Wenhua Palace, "Bai Zhi, go to the small kitchen and see, what did you do today?"

Cardamom is good at cooking, and she is in charge of the kitchen in Fengming Palace. Bai Zhi got the order and asked Cardamom.

Xie Zhao read the letter again, it was written by Qin herself, and in a few days, her fourth brother Xie Yun and Yan Yu will return to the capital.

"Oh, I almost forgot." After receiving the letter from his family, Xie Zhaocai suddenly remembered that he had something and forgot to discuss it with Zhao Jing.

It's all Zhao Jing's fault.

She wanted to say that that day, he had a lot of troubles, and he didn't stop for a day after that. When he finally stopped and got busy again, she forgot about it.

It just so happened that I could discuss with him while I was looking for him at noon.

The person Xiao Yun sent to inquire about the news returned soon, and Xie Zhao took the snacks newly made by Cardamom to Wenhua Hall.

"Your Majesty..." Xiao Yun followed beside the soft sedan chair, hesitating to speak.

"What's the matter?" Sitting in the soft sedan, Xie Zhao raised a corner of the sedan curtain and asked Xiao Yun.

"Just now, I heard that someone went to the Wenhua Palace last night." After thinking for a while, Xiao Yun still said it.

"Who is it?" Xie Zhao was a little curious, not only wanted to know who this person was, but also wanted to know if she was staying overnight.

"It's Anmei from Yijing Palace." Xiao Yun's words made Xie Zhao raise his eyebrows.

Because of Tao Meiren's prescription, Yijing Palace and Yuexian Palace had a quarrel, and even fought.

That was all a few months ago.

At that time, she took measures, and it was not until a few days ago that the two palaces were completely released from the confinement.

"Have you stayed overnight?" She asked with a smile, as it is cold today, it has been a few days since the concubines came to pay their respects.

"That's not true, but...An Meiren stayed in Wenhua Palace for a long time."

If there is no overnight stay, it does not mean that nothing will happen.

"That's it." The smile on Xie Zhao's face remained unchanged, "You can pick some things later and send them to An Meiren."

"You don't have to worry about my feeling uncomfortable. She did me a favor by going there."

These days, Fushou Palace hasn't stopped much. It's almost Chinese New Year, and she doesn't want to make things difficult for herself.

The Empress Dowager sent people twice to invite her to Fushou Palace, but she didn't go, so she probably guessed what the Empress Dowager wanted to say.

Right now, Anmei went to the Wenhua Palace and stayed for a while, which means that Zhao Jing went to the harem.

The soft sedan stopped outside the Wenhua Hall, Xie Zhao carried the food box and went up the steps.

"My concubine pays her respects to the empress." Xie Zhao looked up at the delicate voice.

This is true, if you don't talk about people during the day and don't talk about ghosts at night, whoever you talk about is who you are.

Xiao Yun just mentioned An Meiren, and now I see her.

"Excuse me." With an order, Xie Zhao walked up to An Meiren, who also had a food box in her hand.

"Yesterday, a concubine came to serve His Majesty. Seeing that His Majesty has lost weight, I felt really distressed, so I specially made chicken soup for His Majesty."

Xie Zhao glanced at the food box in her hand, "Then why don't you go in?"

The smile on An Meiren's face froze. Although she had only come here not long ago, it was well known, but of course she couldn't enter without His Majesty's order.

It was very cold outside, and now she was beginning to feel cold.

"Your Majesty is still busy, how dare maids and concubines disturb you?" In Wenhua Palace last night, although she stayed for a while, nothing happened.

She didn't even see anyone, she was the one who stuck to it.

Fortunately, when people inquired this morning, they said that Tong Shishi had made a note of her. As long as she didn't tell, no one would know the truth.

"If it's cold today, you don't have much to wear, don't catch a cold, go to the side hall to warm up for a while."

Xie Zhao gave an order and was about to go to the main hall with the food box.

"Empress Empress!" An Meiren hurriedly called her to stop, if the Empress went in, what could happen to her?
Besides, the chicken soup is getting cold, isn't she wasting all her efforts?

Xie Zhao looked at her.

"Your Majesty is busy inside." As she said, she couldn't help but wonder, could it be that His Majesty sent the empress to come?

Before Xie Zhao could speak, Jiang Hai greeted him from inside, "Your servant greets the empress."

Xie Zhao withdrew his gaze from An Meiren, and raised his hand at Jiang Hai.

"Your Majesty came just in time. It's rare for His Majesty to be idle at this moment. When I heard your voice, I was afraid that you would be cold, so I sent a servant out to meet you."

When he said this, Jiang Hai glanced sideways in the direction of An Meiren, feeling disdainful in his heart.

I didn't even see His Majesty's face last night, so I don't know how I can come here again today while licking my face?

Seeing that the Empress Empress is coming, she doesn't know what to do, she is really an idiot!
Thinking like this, he didn't show his face, Xie Zhao responded, took two steps forward, stopped again, and turned to look at her, "Can I bring you in, please?"

Xie Zhao asked about the chicken soup she was carrying.

"No... no need, thank you Empress for your kindness, this chicken soup is probably already cold, how can I use it for Your Majesty?"

"Since the empress is here, the maid and concubine will leave." Carrying the food box, An Meiren saluted Xie Zhao.

Xie Zhao raised his eyebrows and glanced at her.

"Anmei said this. Those who know that His Majesty doesn't want to see you, those who don't know think that the empress ran you away. Anmei has not been banned for a long time. You should be cautious in your words and deeds."

Xie Zhao's silence doesn't mean Xiao Yun can bear it. She looked at An Meiren with a smile that was not a smile.

An Meiren's complexion suddenly turned green and white. What she said just now did have other meanings.

"You back down." Before she could speak again, Xie Zhao ordered, never looking at her again, and followed Jiang Hai into the Wenhua Palace.

An Meiren stood where she was, bit her lip, and although she was unwilling, she had no choice but to leave with the food box.

"Your Majesty, don't care about An Meiren. Although An Meiren stayed in Wenhua Palace for a long time last night, she never saw His Majesty at all."

I really couldn't bear it anymore, so I left, Jiang Hai knew it best.

"However, His Majesty also saved some face for her, and ordered the servants to go to the Palace Bureau to add a fortune to the history."

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Jing's voice came from inside, Jiang Hai quickly shut up and followed Xie Zhao.

Carrying the food box into the inner room, Xie Zhao saw Zhao Jing sitting behind the desk, probably because of Jiang Hai's words, at this moment his ears were a little red.
