The Evil King's First-Class Concubine

Chapter 114 Entering the court for the first time 1
"It doesn't matter. Sister Concubine Su's illness will occur several times a month. You'd better go back early and take good care of your body. Don't think about what you have and what you don't have."

A trace of disgust flashed in Empress Chu's eyes. She remembered that Concubine Su who had just entered the palace was so sickly and pitiful, and she couldn't help feeling pity for her, let alone the emperor.She and the emperor's young husband and wife, but no amount of affection can last.She is old and youthful, but Concubine Su is young, beautiful, gentle and pleasant. During that time, Concubine Su was the only one doting on the harem. Using this trick of heart attack, she snatched away the emperor from countless concubines, and made her The emperor misunderstood, and the relationship for many years was almost destroyed.

Later, she also looked down on it. Which man in this world doesn't have three wives and four concubines?What's more, His Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, as long as he wants women in the world, they will be his!She doesn't have the ability to let His Majesty abolish the harem for the Empress Dowager just like the late Emperor.

Anyway, she is already the queen of the mother's world, with the crown prince and the king of Jin under her, no matter how favored Concubine Su is, she can't threaten her status.She just needs to guard her child, make the emperor feel guilty, and have a place in his heart.

"Thank you queen, the concubine will leave first!"

Concubine Su Gui's eyes flickered, she still left Kunning Palace after all, she didn't want to copy the Diamond Sutra!After returning to her own Hanfu Palace, Concubine Su naturally let go of her disguise and vented her anger on the porcelain in the palace.

"Mother Concubine, who made you angry?" Princess Changning, who happened to come to pay her respects, was only 14 years old this year. She was the youngest daughter of Concubine Su Gui.

"Who else can there be besides the queen? This time the queen mother returned to the palace, not only did she take away the power of the queen mother, but she even asked the queen mother to copy the Diamond Sutra! Hmph, when the queen mother returns to the palace, I will see if she can still laugh." !"

Holding Princess Changning in her arms, Concubine Su Gui said bitterly, in order to cultivate her daughter's scheming, she would never hide the secrets of the harem in front of her daughter.He even used this to teach his daughter how to beat opponents and win His Majesty's favor.

Princess Changning lived up to Concubine Su's teachings, she had a delicate heart at a young age, if King Jin is His Majesty's favorite son, then Princess Changning is His Majesty's most beloved daughter.Even Princess Zhaoyang, who is the queen's direct descendant, is slightly inferior.

"Mother and concubine, you also know that you have provoked the queen's taboo, why are you asking for trouble? Anyway, the emperor's grandmother is going back to the palace, and the father feels indebted to the emperor's grandmother, and maybe he will leave the affairs of the harem to the emperor. What about grandma! If we please the emperor's grandma in the future, wouldn't it be better to be restrained everywhere now?"

"Oh, the little concubine is really clever! However, His Majesty will not take away the Queen's rights for no reason. The Empress Dowager is getting old, and His Majesty will not let her worry about these trivial matters. Even so, the Queen Mother The status is higher than that of the empress. The empress wants to please the empress dowager through this banquet, but this palace will not let her get what she wants!"

Concubine Su Gui raised the corners of her mouth, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, as long as the queen mother and the queen had a bad relationship, she would be able to make a profit.Even if she can't take the position of queen, she still wants to make her a nameless figure in the harem!
"vomit."

"Mother, how are you doing?"

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

The Empress Dowager waved her hand, met the worried eyes of the Emperor and Dr. Xu, and smiled wryly: "I am old, and I can't bear the fatigue of traveling. Fortunately, there is Dr. Xie doing acupuncture for Ai's family, but I can't eat it. The smell is a bit nauseating." That's all."

When going out, even the emperor would inevitably have to eat and sleep in the open.Except for dry food and cakes, the cooked food was almost all wild animals brought by the guards. Today they happened to camp by a river and caught a lot of fish.It's just that whether it's baked or boiled, it has a fishy smell, and the queen mother can't eat it at all.

The queen mother was weak and fainted in the carriage, besides, the youngest brother Yan was also the same as the queen mother, so Xie Xinyue took care of the old and the young all the way, but she was tired.

"Why don't you call Dr. Xie over to have a look?" Emperor Xingwen was worried about the Queen Mother's body, seeing that the Queen Mother had lost a lot of weight compared to when they met after only a few days, so don't worry too much.

"No, there's no need to bother."

Here, Xie Xinyue was also lucky enough to get a piece of grilled fish. After taking a bite, she couldn't help frowning.And Xu Yan, who was beside her, spit out the fish meat on the ground and wiped her mouth: "It's really unpalatable! Sister Yue, I want to eat our Boxia offering!"

Now that Xie Xinyue has resumed her women's clothing, Xu Yan simply changed his words. His handsome face was wrinkled. He has been exhausted in the past few days and has not had a good meal, which really makes him a little greedy.

"You want to eat? Well, wait!"

Brother Yan's words made Xie Xinyue's eyes light up, they happened to have a few packs of base ingredients in their luggage, they couldn't make hot pot, but she could make spicy hot pot!Anyway, the emperor brought a chef and a few large pots with him when he traveled, to boil hot water and cook porridge.She went up to discuss with the guards and brought in a lot of free labor.

The captured pheasant, hare and wild deer skinned and taken out the internal organs, cut into small pieces, fish meat was also sliced ​​into thin slices, and the mushrooms they found, some cabbage, radish, and cauliflower were all cut and washed, and the fat was specially picked out for oil refining , Boil out the oil pan, pour in the bottom material, add water and boil, after boiling, the tangy aroma will permeate the entire river bed.

First cook the meat until half-cooked, and then pour the vegetables and fish down together. This pot of stewed Malatang is not yet cooked, but it attracts a group of greedy guards wandering around, and they can't drive them away!
"Oh, what a scent! Empress Dowager, Dr. Xie must be messing with food again!" Dr. Xu sniffed the smell in the air, and her saliva was about to flow down.Even the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xingwen couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Although the scent was a bit pungent, it was particularly appetizing.

"Oh? Isn't Miss Xie a doctor? Why are you proficient in cooking?" Emperor Xingwen raised his eyebrows, and if he didn't say anything to divert his attention, he was afraid that he would lose face by swallowing saliva in front of his servants.

"Your Majesty, you don't know that the dishes made by Dr. Xie are delicious! We have never heard of those recipes. With Dr. Xie here, the Queen Mother's appetite has improved a lot!"

"This girl is really dexterous, thanks to her carefulness, she knows that the Empress Dowager just can't eat!"

If Xie Xinyue heard the conversation between the Queen Mother and the others here, she would definitely say that this is really a beautiful misunderstanding.

After it was cooked, Xie Xinyue specially packed a small basin and asked the palace servants to prepare two pairs of clean bowls and chopsticks and sent them to the emperor's car.I made a separate copy and planned to share it with Brother Yan. As for the rest, Xie Xinyue looked up at the guards who were staring at her, and subconsciously shrank her neck.

"Well, share all of these with you!"

"Thank you girl!"

The guards thanked him politely, and when Xie Xinyue left, they immediately started looting.Those who didn't squeeze in were even fighting for the front position.

Xie Xinyue put on a face, these guards are really lively, forget it, it's important for her to fill her stomach quickly.When she finished eating here, the emperor sent someone to call her over there.

"Does this food have a name? What did you put in it? I have eaten a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas, but I have never heard of anyone who can make such a messy stewed meat dish." The emperor obviously still had something to say, Obviously this one can eat spicy food.Xie Xinyue glanced at it, I'm a good boy, I ate a whole pot and there was nothing left!
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Minnv came to a restaurant in Xiang'an City called 'Bao Xia Gong', which specializes in selling this. The business is not bad on weekdays. When I left, I specially brought some ready-made ingredients. It is planned to bring it to the capital to continue to open the store. Although this food tastes good, you can’t eat too much, otherwise you will get angry easily. If your majesty likes it, the daughter of the people can present the secret recipe.”

"Well, you shrewd girl, there is a secret recipe on the left and a secret recipe on the right. Would I still be ignorant of your stuff? Come on, since you plan to open a shop in the capital, if I want to eat in the future, I will have a chance. Going to the imperial dining room, I'm afraid it will lose a little bit of delicious food."

How shrewd the emperor was, he naturally understood the meaning of her words, and he was not angry.As an emperor, he couldn't show his preferences, and all the food had been tasted and tested by special eunuchs.Even if the Imperial Dining Room has a recipe, it can't make a good taste that suits the mood.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. When the Boxia Temple is opened in the capital, and His Majesty will come to visit, it must be smoke from the ancestral grave of the Minnv family!" Xie Xinyue was overjoyed, and immediately patted Emperor Xingwen's horse fart.

The calculations in Xie Xinyue's heart were clinking. She did this on purpose today.When they arrived in the capital, they couldn't just sit and eat, and Brother Yan couldn't stay idle. Although the emperor promised to reward her with a house in Huangxiang, if she did something wrong, the emperor would take it back.

After all, she can't feel at ease with things that are not her own. She has no foundation in the capital, and she can't live on the little reward from the queen mother.After thinking about it, she decided to continue to open the Paxia offering and hand it over to Xu Yan.Moreover, by doing this, she is equivalent to crossing the road in front of the emperor. With the emperor as a big boss as a backer, she will not be afraid of being tricked by someone with a heart when her business grows in the future.

This time when she went to Beijing, she took out all the working capital she could mobilize, a total of 1 taels of silver, enough for her to buy a shop in the capital.

The next itinerary is on the official road, and this journey will be much faster.Five days later, the city wall of the capital finally appeared in front of everyone.Speaking of which, it was the first time for Xie Xinyue to see clearly the surroundings of the capital. After all, she was basically under house arrest after she first came to this world.

There was a lot of traffic along the way, and there was an endless stream of hawkers hawking. As expected of the emperor, even beggars were rare, and even many ordinary people wore exquisite silk and satin clothes.When Brother Yan came to the capital for the first time, his eyes were dazzled, and he also had a little bit of expectation for life in the capital.

Empress Dowager Grace planned to let Xie Xinyue accompany her into the palace. Xu Yan was too young and a foreigner to enter the harem. Xie Xinyue was worried that he would be made things difficult in the palace, so she simply let him live in the inn temporarily.After the palace settles down here, she will go out to pick him up.

After the preparations were made, the emperor's driver entered the majestic palace without hindrance. Xie Xinyue would be lying if she said that she was not nervous.This represents the place where the imperial power is located, and her current status is like an ant.
