Sui Sui Jianing

Chapter 161 Do you want to listen to private talk?
"It just so happens that Bengong boiled a little longer, would Jianing want to have a bowl too?"

Concubine Mei looked at Xie Shuangge with a full smile, "But there are no more bowls. If you don't mind, you can drink from a porcelain cup."

She handed the soup in her hand to the emperor, and the emperor nodded with a smile: "Do you want to try Jianing? The imperial concubine's craftsmanship is superb."

"A gentleman doesn't take what others like. Since the imperial concubine made it for my uncle, it's not good for Jianing to share it with my uncle. My uncle drinks it slowly."

Concubine Mei just said that, once Xie Shuangge refused, she didn't try to persuade her anymore, but took advantage of the situation and sat down on the chair in front of the emperor.

Xie Shuangge's heart skipped a beat. What she wanted to say should not be spread outside. It is really inconvenient for Concubine Mei Gui to be here, but she has no intention of leaving at all. What should I do?
Xie Shuangge squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, her thoughts turned quickly.

The emperor held the soup bowl and scooped it up with a spoon. Concubine Mei Gui softly advised, "Be careful, Your Majesty, it's hot."

"Okay." The emperor blew, feeling that it was almost done, and then put it into his mouth, his eyes lit up immediately, he gave a thumbs up to Concubine Mei Gui, "It's delicious! It's mellow and delicious, fragrant but not greasy."

Concubine Mei laughed in satisfaction, "If it tastes good, please drink more, Your Majesty, and my concubine will make it for you tomorrow."

"Well——" the emperor shook his head: "Stewing soup takes a lot of work, and it's fine to make it occasionally. It's too hard to cook every day, and I can't bear it."

Xie Shuangge looked at his affectionate eyes and felt his teeth ache.

These two can be regarded as an old husband and wife, why are they still so tired?
Concubine Mei Gui really has two brushes.

Xie Shuangge looked at Concubine Mei with a look of scrutiny.

Concubine Mei seems to have her eyes on the emperor, but in fact she has been paying attention to Xie Shuangge from the corner of her eye. Seeing her staring at her, she turned her head with a slight smile, "Didn't Jianing have something to say to His Majesty?"

The emperor drank the soup and looked at Xie Shuangge suspiciously: "Jianing came so late, what's the matter?"

Looking at the two pairs of eyes together, Xie Shuangge restrained his small thoughts, straightened his back, smiled like Concubine Mei, and said, "I have something to say."

When she looked at the emperor, her cheeks were slightly flushed, her eyes were evasive, and she looked like a shy little girl.

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, there is something wrong!

Concubine Mei looked at her thoughtfully, "Jianing's noodles are full of spring, it's really gratifying to look at."

Xie Shuangge covered her lips with a handkerchief, and blinked at the emperor, "Uncle, I have something private to tell you, can I let the imperial concubine leave first?"

Concubine Mei was taken aback, "..."

Is it that straightforward?

She looked at the emperor, and the emperor happened to look at him too, their eyes met each other, their faces stunned.

"What can I not listen to? If it's something about my daughter's family, I can help Jianing with advice."

Concubine Mei looked at Xie Shuangge with some resentment, "How did Jianing get married to Ben Gong?"

Xie Shuangge was blinded by her gaze, she had to say that a beauty is a beauty, every frown and smile is touching.

However, Xie Shuangge didn't have any thoughts about her, so she didn't like this. Besides, they had never been very friendly, so how could they talk about being born?
The emperor was about to speak, Xie Shuangge immediately said: "But there are some things that cannot be told to others. I like my uncle the most, so I am willing to tell him. If it were someone else, I wouldn't tell anyone who came. It's not aimed at the noble concubine. Empress, don't take it to heart."

Her smile is really beautiful, but she has a bit of innocence that is not familiar with the world, and she looks very sincere when she says such words, making people unable to argue with her.

Seeing that she was determined to let her go, Concubine Mei looked at the emperor.

The emperor was ironed by Xie Shuangge's words, and waved his hand: "Since this is the case, the noble concubine should go back first."

Concubine Mei: "..."

I just gave you soup, and you're driving me away now?It's free, right?
As soon as the emperor said something wrong, he turned his head to look at Concubine Mei, and saw Concubine Mei's eyes were dim, and she was about to comfort her, but Xie Shuangge took the lead.

Xie Shuangge said slowly: "The imperial concubine and uncle get along day and night, and sometimes they have time to talk, unlike me, who only enters the palace once in a long time. Uncle is a fair person, so of course you can let me come first, and the imperial concubine should not be jealous of me."

She smiled harmlessly at Concubine Mei, what else could Concubine Mei say?
She stood up gently, "What is Jianing talking about? How could I be jealous of a child like you?"

She bowed to the emperor and said: "The concubine will leave first, Your Majesty take care of your health, don't work too hard."

The emperor nodded in relief: "I know, let's go."

Concubine Mei turned around and left. Before leaving, she glanced back at Xie Shuangge, and when she looked back again, the smile on her face was gone.

She supported Ning Lu's hand and went out of the imperial study room. When the cold wind blew outside, she couldn't help but gather up her cloak.

Ning Lu watched her face change as soon as she went out, she got used to it, and asked in a low voice: "Mother, shall we go back to the palace?"

Concubine Mei did not speak immediately, but turned her head to look at the closed door of the imperial study.

Ning Lu was puzzled: "Your Majesty?"

"I don't know why, but I feel a little uneasy in my heart." Concubine Mei pressed her heart, and her delicately drawn black eyebrows frowned.

The heartbeats of her subordinates made it difficult for Concubine Mei Gui to ignore.

She thought for a while, and said to Ninglu: "Go, go back to Feiluan Palace, you ask Li Yong to come over."

"Yes."

Concubine Mei got into the sedan chair and hurried away.

……

Xie Shuangge waited for Concubine Mei to leave, immediately got up and walked to Concubine Mei's place just now, and sat down unceremoniously.

The emperor looked at her curiously, "Tell me, what is it? It has something to do with Chu Wuhen?"

"Uncle, why are you so smart? You guessed it before I said anything." Xie Shuangge smiled and patted his fart.

The emperor suppressed a smile, "Don't do this, I still don't understand you?"

Xie Shuangge had laughed enough, her expression became serious, she sat up straight, and said softly: "It is indeed related to Chu Wuhen, but it is not what you think, it is very important, I am afraid that something will go wrong, that's why I insisted on letting Concubine Mei leave .”

Seeing her like this, the emperor's expression also changed, and he leaned forward slightly, "How do you say that?"

Xie Shuangge took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket and put it on the case, "Look, Uncle, this is a potion that Chu Wuhen asked someone to concoct. Using this product, you may be able to find out the secret works of southern Xinjiang in the imperial court."

The emperor's eyes immediately became sharp. He glanced at Xie Shuangge, then at the small porcelain bottle, and didn't go to get it right away, "Potion?"

"Yes." Xie Shuangge asked, "Uncle, do you still remember Qin Lie?"

The emperor frowned: "Qin Lie..."

It is very difficult for His Majesty the Emperor to remember the name of a small person, so Xie Shuangge gave a hint, "The one whose head is blown to death."

The emperor suddenly realized, "It's him!"
