The imperial concubine favors the crown of the harem

Toss these many days.

It wasn't until the fourth day of August, the first birthday of the fifth prince and the third princess, that the rumors outside stopped slightly.

Although Lin Wanyi lived in the palace, she had heard about the commotion before and after.

It's just that he hasn't expressed his opinion.

At the beginning, she also felt that the best way to calm the turmoil was to re-draft.

But gradually she didn't think so.

The protection of the emperor, the help of godfather and mother, and the help of relatives at home.

All to make her happy.

Even the empress dowager, who should have said something the most, turned a deaf ear to these things, so why did she have to say this?

For her, it would be best if she could live a peaceful life in the palace.

And where there are many women, there are many right and wrong, there is no doubt about this.

Therefore, she rested her mind and "enjoyed" this worry-free life to the fullest.

On the day of the birthday party, Lin Wanyi woke up early on purpose.

Because she wants to prepare some surprises for the children.

Looking at the emperor who was still resting next to him, he breathed out evenly, and felt a burst of joy in his heart.

Then he got off the bed softly.

Even washing and dressing were arranged in the ear room, just because they were afraid of disturbing the emperor's rest.

When everything was ready, he asked.

"Where are the children? Up?"

Xia An beside him said calmly.

"The second prince has already gone to the shooting range. As for the other princes and princesses, they are still resting."

It was early in the summer, but Lin Wanyi admired the second prince's hard work.

"The second prince is growing up, remember to tell Madam Du that you should urge the second prince to rest more."

"The servant has recorded it."

"Well, let's go."

After saying that, the two master and servant went out, and then rushed to the small kitchen.

Chun Qi had been waiting there for a long time, and when she saw Lin Wanyi and Xia An coming over, she seemed to have returned to the time when she was still in the Xiangfu Dongkuayuan.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready, should we start making it now?"

"Go ahead, His Majesty will ask me to take care of you when he wakes up later."

Chunqi couldn't help snickering when he heard the words, and sighed involuntarily.

"When we first entered the palace, the slaves were worried that the emperor would notice you. Unexpectedly, after so many days, the emperor would not even leave our palace. It's great!"

Being teased by her like this, Lin Wanyi felt a little shy.

So he pretended to be angry and said.

"Okay, let's do it quickly! Otherwise, we won't be able to catch up later."

"Okay, servant girl obeys."

Jokingly replied, Lin Wanyi gave Chunqi a coquettish look.

Then the three master and servant began to tinker in the small kitchen.

Lin Wanyi is not good at cooking, but she is still good at eating.

The dish she is going to cook today is a stewed lion's head with crab powder.

The dish is bland and takes time to simmer.

That's why she got up so early in the morning.

The fresh pork belly is cut into granules as big as pomegranate beads, and then chopped into stuffing.

Not to mention fat and thin, but also added green onion ginger water and salt seasoning.

Cut water chestnuts into small cubes, serve with fresh river crab meat, and beat them into balls together.

Considering that there are still children to eat, when Lin Wanyi made the meatballs, she purposely made them small and exquisite.

Chunqi saw it and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, they made lion heads, but yours is too small."

"It's okay, it's okay, I made a little lion head."

In a word, Chun Qi and Xia An couldn't help but laughed out loud.

After everything was ready, Chunqi brought a casserole, put water in it, and then added some shallots, sliced ​​ginger and other ingredients, and put small meatballs into the pot one by one.

Put it on a small stove and simmer slowly.

And the floating skim on the top is carefully beaten away little by little, and finally the juice is slowly collected.

When she started to smell the fragrance, Lin Wanyi returned the small kitchen to Chunqi.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this servant must keep an eye on the heat."

Lin Wanyi nodded.

Then he let out a long sigh of relief and left the small kitchen.

On the way back to the ear room, I couldn't help laughing at myself.

"It's really not suitable for me to enter the kitchen. After only a short while, I'm exhausted."

Xia An immediately comforted her.

"Your Majesty doesn't have breakfast, that's why she's so stupid. I'll have a bowl of porridge later, and I'll be fine."

"Ah."

After returning to the ear room, I washed it again.

Especially the oily smell on her hands, Lin Wanyi was very displeased.

If it weren't for today's special day, she wouldn't cook for herself.

The food is checked by Chunqi, so it should not be unpalatable.

He was thinking about it, but unexpectedly a person came out from behind and hugged her in his arms.

And his head drooped on her shoulders, and he said with some complaints.

"Where did you go early in the morning?"

Lin Wanyi was startled at first, but after hearing the voice clearly, she said helplessly.

"Your Majesty, you scare the concubine."

Afterwards, he wiped his hands clean with a handkerchief, and after applying the dew, took it under his nose and smelled it, and felt relieved when he felt that there was no smell.

Just when he was about to let go, he was grabbed by the emperor.

Picking it up and kissing it, Lin Wanyi was so frightened that she hurriedly pulled it back.

With a slightly red face, he glanced around and found that Xia An was gone, so he was relieved.

Seeing her like this, the emperor couldn't help but find it funny.

"What are you afraid of? In this palace, there isn't that blind servant who dares to gossip."

"Hey, isn't this concubine afraid that rumors will spread again? It would be troublesome if His Majesty's name is ruined."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lin Wanyi.

Then there was a three-point joking question.

"Then you are not afraid of ruining yourself?"

"The reputation of the concubine depends on His Majesty. If you are a wise emperor, then the concubine will naturally be a virtuous concubine. If you are a foolish emperor, then the concubine's reputation as a demon concubine will be irresistible even if you want to shake it off." , so for the sake of the reputation of my courtiers and concubines, I ask Your Majesty to be a wise king."

The emperor probably didn't expect that Lin Wanyi would say such a thing, so he laughed silly.

Then he said fondly.

"Okay, for the sake of the reputation of loving my concubine, I will definitely work hard to be a generation of Mingjun! So that future generations will know that I have a virtuous and virtuous concubine Yining, who can be an example for women!"

Lin Wanyi was like an old master, nodding while humming.

In the end, I didn't hold back, but laughed out.

The two looked at each other, and felt that it was a good time to live like this.

While being tender and tender, it was interrupted by someone outside talking.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, several princes and princesses have come to pay their respects."

It was Dong Yuzhong who spoke, and Qiu Ming stood beside him.

The two were respectful and polite, as if they hadn't heard everything in the room just now.

Lin Wanyi struggled out of the emperor's arms and glanced outside.
