Chapter 821 Hot Pot
Concubine Hui's eyes moved slightly and her face turned red. She was clearly the one whose son was getting married. She was still embarrassed and speechless by the emperor's gentle caress. She glanced at the clear soup, side dishes and white rice porridge she was eating just now with an angry smile, and said: "People are shouting about losing weight every day, but Your Majesty is trying to trick me into getting fat. It doesn't matter, who made me greedy? Plus today, I am really overwhelmed."

The beauty is shy, as beautiful as the morning glow, moving but not pretentious.

With a few words, the depression in the Emperor's heart seemed to be swept away.

While they were talking, a maid had quietly removed the table of light meals and brought in a towering copper stove hot pot.

Wild mountain mushrooms and big bones are boiled into a thick soup, which is boiled by the red charcoal at the bottom of the pot, and the aroma is overflowing immediately.

The emperor was so excited that he picked up a few pieces of tender mutton with chopsticks and placed them in the pot without having to do the dishes for the maid.

The water is boiling, and the mutton is cut into very thin slices. After a few quick thoughts, it is cooked to just right. It is soaked in the mahjong juice. After chewing it, the aroma of sesame seeds and the tenderness of the mutton fill your mouth with an incomparable aroma. of deliciousness.

After squinting his eyes and taking the first bite, the emperor became very interested and said, "I haven't had a drink with you for a long time. The hot pot is also being served tonight. How can we not have wine?"

Concubine Hui did not hesitate to shirk, and nodded immediately, "Okay, your Majesty and I have a good understanding of each other again. I was about to make a suggestion, but your Majesty said it first. I don't know what kind of wine your Majesty wants to drink. I am here. There is brewed green plum wine.”

Green plum wine is sweet and sour and is the favorite drink of the concubines in the palace.

The emperor shook his head, waved his hand and said: "The green plum wine is bland and boring to drink. You can drink it anyway, why don't you drink with me? Today's incident is really annoying, and I can only find myself here with you."

When Concubine Hui heard this, she immediately said: "The Canglan people who are seeking death are not overestimating their own abilities! Your Majesty is the True Dragon Emperor, and he has the protection of heaven and man. How can they imagine this!" After saying this indignantly, he let out a sigh of relief, but It was a change of subject.

"I heard that Your Majesty has a flower sculpture that has been collected for almost 20 years. I wonder if I will be blessed with this flower today." As he spoke, his head tilted slightly, his eyes twinkling with anticipation, like a young girl waiting to bloom.

When the emperor heard this and saw her like this again, he immediately raised his head and laughed, "That's right!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young chamberlain ran all the way to retrieve the flower carving that was treasured by the emperor. It only took a few cups of tea.

The wine is cold and can easily damage the internal organs. Take another small stove, place it on it, and warm it over a slow fire.

After changing glasses, after drinking for three rounds, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, as if unintentionally, and looked at Concubine Hui, "How did you suddenly discover the evil intentions of the Canglan people today? Queen Mother, if you go there late One step forward, and the consequences will be disastrous. The Queen Mother is old and cannot withstand the torment. If they really use the Queen Mother to force me, I..."

After raising the glass and drinking the wine, the emperor said the last thing he said, he was so angry that he couldn't say a word.

Concubine Hui exclaimed in her heart: Here we come!

Sure enough, His Majesty's trip was not simply about drinking and eating meat with her to calm down her fears.

Her heart tightened, she took a deep breath silently, and then when the wine cup left her lips, she spat it out faintly. Under the table, the handkerchief was tightly grasped in her hand. Concubine Hui looked frightened and said, "How could I have noticed this, my concubine?" , it was Gu Yuqing who suddenly said that there was a doctor outside the palace who could take a good look at Han Chaoen's heart attack, so he asked the Ninth Prince to go and invite him. I heard her voice was a little strange, so I paid special attention to it."

"His Royal Highness Ninth stepped out, and the palace maid in front of me followed suit. She couldn't reach halfway down the corridor when she was stopped by the man named Ji Xiang in front of Gu Yuqing."

"Jixiang told His Highness Ninth Prince that Gu Yuqing had previously told him that if the banquet went on normally, if something happened halfway and His Highness Ninth Prince walked out of the palace, she would inform His Highness Ninth Prince that Gu Yuqing suspected that Han Chaoen had colluded with the Canglan people and that His Majesty might be in danger. , let His Highness Ninth quickly find the commander of the Forbidden Army."

"I don't know if His Highness the Ninth Prince has found the Commander of the Forbidden Army, Concubine. It's just that when the maid in front of me whispered Ji Xiang and His Highness the Ninth Prince's words into my ears, I was so frightened that I almost screamed out."

"It was Gu Yuqing who reminded me to go find the Queen Mother. Since the young prince of Pingxi Palace was also with the Queen Mother, I went there with the eldest concubine of Pingxi Palace. When leaving, one of Canglan's envoys made excuses for him I must also kowtow to the Queen Mother and follow her."

"I am even more sure that there is a ghost. I dare not trespass where Your Majesty is. The only thing I can do is to protect the safety of the Queen Mother for Your Majesty. Fortunately, there is a nun who is good at martial arts in front of the Queen Mother. Lan Xizuo was killed with one blow, and then we hid in the secret room."

"I got there just in time, and the door to the secret room was closed. Through the wall, I heard a ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong sound outside. I thought it was the Canglan people who came to kidnap the Queen Mother, but they found out that the room was empty and they got angry!"

Without waiting for the emperor to ask any questions, Concubine Hui told the whole story.

What she said was to cover up the surname of the doctor who traveled outside the palace mentioned by Gu Yuqing, so as to avoid being as shrewd as the emperor and guessing Wei Qi, who performed particularly well when guarding the city gate today, causing trouble for Yu'er.

The rest are all facts, so what I say is true.

When Concubine Hui spoke, the Emperor's scrutinizing eyes never left her cheeks. Every inch of her expression could be seen by the Emperor. When she finished speaking, the Emperor's fox-like eyes closed up and turned gentle. Smiling, "It's really hard for you today."

Concubine Hui shook her head, "I am still young, so it doesn't matter. It's just that the Queen Mother is old, and the underground secret tunnel has not been used for a long time. It is cold and damp. Your Majesty should really send someone to take a good rest. At that time, the Queen Mother sneezed one after another, and I I was frightened when I heard this, and I was deeply afraid that she would fall ill again."

"What did the imperial doctor say?" When the Queen Mother was mentioned, real concern appeared on the Emperor's face.

Concubine Hui breathed a sigh of relief, "The imperial doctor said it's just a cold, it's not a problem, just take a few patches of medicine and you'll be fine."

The emperor's expression relaxed. His lowered eyes moved slightly. The wine cup he held in his hand was turned a few times by his thumb. He was silent for a moment and then said: "Are you aware of Ke'er's performance today?" , really unexpected?"

Concubine Hui's heart suddenly trembled, the topic finally reached this point.

With a slight breath, Concubine Hui said: "Unexpectedly, I was stunned at that time. As far as I know, His Highness Ninth Prince's kung fu is just a few gestures of a three-legged cat. I didn't expect that his light kung fu is so good. He can use flying knives." No matter how good it is, it reminds me of the youngest daughter-in-law of the Gusu family in Qibei that I met before I left the cabinet."

When Concubine Hui mentioned the Gusu family in Qibei, the emperor couldn't help but frown.

He originally thought that Concubine Hui would talk about Gu Zhen!
