Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 15 Foodie Alliance Allies 2
After finally dismissing the two of them, Chen Wenxin felt that her face was going to freeze from laughing.

She didn't know that in the eyes of Yigui, her shallow smile was very cold.

At night, the emperor didn't come in person, but sent Xiao Lizi to pick her up for dinner in Qianqing Palace.

Do you want to eat that imperial meal that can't exceed two bites per dish...

Chen Wenxin felt that it was torture.

The emperor didn't treat her well at all, she would rather eat the "fake royal meal" made by eunuch Sun in her own room!
He lifted the sedan chair again and sent her to Qianqing Palace. After getting off the sedan chair, Li Dequan came out to greet her in person, and whispered to Chen Wenxin:
"The emperor stayed in the south study for a whole day today. When the inner court priests came out, all of them had ugly faces. If you stay here for a while, you should be more careful in serving you."

Enshrining in the inner court is not a real official position.It refers to all the ministers who are qualified to enter Kangxi's South Study Room. Among these ministers, apart from the literary masters, they are the ministers of military aircraft.

The emperor's urgent military affairs are all discussed here. Of course, sometimes he will simply comment on poetry, calligraphy and painting.

This is equivalent to a cabinet office, which is the prototype of the military aircraft department of Yongzheng later.

The faces of the ministers were ugly, it must not be talking about poetry, calligraphy and painting.

Chen Wenxin listened to Li Dequan's instructions, bit the bullet and nodded, and entered the west room where the emperor had meals.

After waiting for a while, the emperor arrived late.Seeing her, she didn't have the angry face as imagined, but a smile on her face.
-
It seems that the government affairs that have troubled the emperor for a day should be resolved.

Chen Wenxin breathed a sigh of relief.If the emperor is really holding back something, she doesn't know how to untie it.

"Pass the meal!"

With a big wave of the emperor's hand, he pulled Chen Wenxin's sleeve and whispered in her ear.

Seeing the emperor chirping and chirping like offering a treasure, Chen Changzai burst into laughter on that face.

Xiao Lizi was stunned when he saw it, and was kicked hard by his master Li Dequan on the calf, and then he came back to his senses.

Li Dequan was also very puzzled, what on earth is the emperor chatting with Chen Chang?
He only vaguely heard something about "favorite dishes".

Looking at the emperor's expression like offering a treasure, he was not convinced from the bottom of his heart.

Isn't this Chen Changzai more beautiful, the emperor treats her so well.That look, that look...

Li Dequan didn't dare to think too much, this idea came up on his own.

He actually felt that the emperor was flattering Chen Changzai...

It's the other way around, how could the emperor please a little Chang Zai!
Li Dequan was absent-minded in serving the meal, saying that he was serving, anyway, there were eunuchs serving meals, so he just stood by.

It was Xiao Lizi who found out that something was wrong about the emperor's meal today...

Not only the emperor, Chen Changzai was also very wrong.

The two of them seemed to have made an appointment, and they ate one dish in order.The order of the emperor is from top to bottom, and Chen Changzai is the reverse.

The eunuch serving food seemed to have discovered this pattern, and the two looked at each other, neither of them dared to make a sound.

The emperor can eat whatever he wants, they don't dare to control when they are slaves.

After the two tasted half of the dishes on the table, they all rested their chopsticks.

Li Dequan noticed it now, how could Chen Changzai only eat such a little?This is impossible.

The emperor also ate much less than usual.

The emperor wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, did not take tea to rinse his mouth, led Chen Wenxin to the inner room, and did not forget to turn around and say:

"Don't withdraw yet."

Then the two sat on the edge of the couch, meeting each other and talking, and saw Chen Wenxin gesticulating with his hands from time to time.

Xiao Lizi quietly peeped inside, his master was standing next to the emperor, and saw Xiao Lizi peeking at him.

Little Lizi quickly lowered his head and lowered his eyes.

After a while, Li Dequan came out and said to the serving eunuch with a strange expression:

"The emperor has decreed that braised anchovy shrimp, cheese carp, shredded pear cake, sliced ​​duck, West Lake vinegar fish, and fermented glutinous rice balls..."

Li Dequan reported the names of ten dishes in one breath, and said with a sigh of relief:

"Leave these, and remove the rest."

This is what the emperor whispered in her ear just now.Each of them tasted half of the dishes, wrote down what they liked, and kept eating.

The eunuchs who served food would definitely not dare to stop them, unless they wanted to die.

Anyway, according to the rules of the ancestors, they have finished serving, and the Lord Long Live has also finished his meal. It is not up to them to deal with what the Lord Long Live will do with the dishes after the meal.
-
Although it is obvious that the emperor wants to keep it and continue to eat it, he just doesn't want to break the old rules.

The emperor is really witty.

Chen Wenxin felt that the emperor was the second ally he could win over.

Foodie allies!
