The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 194
The concubine smiled and said: "What's wrong with the queen, the concubine looks good at the cake, and it must taste very sweet, why should people take it away, but the queen mother doesn't like it?"

The Empress Dowager did not answer her words, and there was no expression of joy or anger on her face, she just asked indifferently: "Who made this pastry?"

A little maid at the side blessed Fushen and said: "When you go back to the queen mother, Zhen Wanyi made it herself, saying that she wanted the queen mother to eat something fresh."

The Empress Dowager's complexion became more and more ugly. I don't know what Qingchen was thinking, let alone whether she already knew about that part of the past.If she knew about it and served such a thing, wouldn't it be intentional to provoke her relationship with the emperor?She is a little Wanyi, does she have such courage?What good does it do to her?
The emperor's slightly displeased voice came from afar, "Zhen Wanyi, did you make this dessert?"

Qingchen had also heard the conversation of the queen and the others just now, and felt something was wrong in his heart, so he hurriedly came out and knelt down and said, "Return to the emperor, this dessert is indeed made by concubines."

The smile on the Empress Dowager's face was a bit weird, making it difficult to understand her true thoughts, "The dim sum is well made, and I thought it was 'with thought'. Think about it, Aijia, what should I reward you with?"

Qingchen's heart became more and more uncertain, and the uneasiness became more and more intense. She secretly took a deep breath, and said slowly: "I dare not take credit for this concubine. Tell the concubine that the queen mother wants to eat rose cake, because the concubine often makes this snack in the palace, and I think I can afford it, so I want to make it for the queen mother to taste, it is also a little filial piety of the concubine. Mama asked the concubine to send it up today, saying that the queen mother will be happy, if the queen mother wants to reward, then she can reward Madam Rong, as long as the queen mother is happy, the concubine will be satisfied."

Mother Rong listened to her from the side, her complexion had already turned ashen. She never thought that Qingchen was such a calm person, and she didn't take any credit for it. Take all the glory into your arms?
The emperor's face darkened, and his eyes became much deeper. He looked coldly and sharply at the empress dowager's side. The empress dowager's face darkened, and she said sharply, "Mother Rong, are you guilty?"

Nurse Rong hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Queen Mother, I know I was wrong. I just wanted to make a joke with Zhen Wanyi. Who knew she would take it seriously. I really don't mean it."

The queen mother said angrily: "Nurse Rong, you are an old man around Ai's family, and you even joked about this kind of thing with a younger generation. What is your intention? Who ordered you to do this?"

The empress dowager suddenly changed his face. While surprised, Qingchen looked at the empress dowager and the emperor in a puzzled manner, not knowing why they had offended them, but he didn't dare to ask, and only said innocently: "The empress dowager thinks that my wife Is this concubine not satisfied with making this dessert? If so, concubine is willing to learn from Madam Rong, if the cooking is not to the queen mother's taste, please forgive me, and concubine can do it again."

The queen mother said lightly: "It's not your fault, you don't have to worry too much."

The more she said this, the more Nanny Rong trembled as she knelt on the ground, she just secretly glanced at Concubine Shu, but Concubine Shu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and turned her face away.She gritted her teeth, and finally said: "Queen Mother, this servant dare not lie, no one instructs this servant, this servant was only fooled for a while, and I will never dare again in the future, I beg the Queen Mother to forgive this slave."
