072 Concubine Jin VS Royal Concubine
Lin Jingyu didn't know what kind of medicine that man with a charming face was selling, but he knew in his heart that he had to go to today's dinner.
Since you can't refuse the kindness of the fake emperor, let's go and meet them! By the way, let's see what conspiracy the daughter of the Liu family is stirring up. I heard that Mrs. Xiangguo often brings her niece to the palace recently, ostensibly to see her daughter.
,Can--
Who knows?
Then again, the fake emperor went to Qixia Palace too frequently...
"Concubine Jin has arrived——"
Listening to the high-pitched voice, Lin Jingyu felt it was very harsh. The flattering or flattering faces and voices of the palace attendants in Qixia Palace made him even more disgusted. Sure enough, he had a conflict with Liu, and even looked here
The servants are not pleasing to the eye.
When he saw the bright yellow figure sitting in the front seat, he felt even more depressed.
He pretended to curtsey and salute - it was just a pretense. In fact, his legs were still standing straight and did not move. However, the man on the main seat had already stood up, walked quickly to him, and helped him up.
, holding hands and sitting down.
Concubine Liu's face looked a little ugly for a moment, but she raised her face bravely, forced out a stiff smile, and said softly: "The emperor is really very fond of sister Jin Concubine."
"That's because Yingyue is alone and married far away. She entered the palace late and has no one to take care of her. If I don't take care of her, she will be bullied by you real eldest ladies. She can't even complain.
There is no place for it.”
I accepted the words with a smile on my face and let the woman with stunning beauty throw myself into my arms.
"What did the Emperor say?" Liu Guifei leaned against me softly and said angrily: "Your Majesty made the mistake of blaming me! How could I dare to bully my sister? It's my sister who doesn't like me.
Eye, I have never spoken to my concubine! Even when she saw my concubine in the garden, she would stay away from me, treating her like a savage beast! Even if my concubine wanted to get close to her, my sister would not want to.
!Don’t you think so? - Sister Jinfei." After saying that, she glanced provocatively at the plain-looking woman opposite, with some indescribable emotion in her eyes, which seemed like hatred, resentment, helplessness and anger.
.
Seeing those plump and white catkins drawing circles on my chest, I didn't push her away. I just held Lin Jingyu's hand tightly. Who knew that the owner of those slender hands not only refused to cooperate, but also tried hard
I wanted to break free. I squeezed hard, and a low gasping sound came from my ears, and then my foot was stepped on hard.
I glanced at Lin Jingyu, and he was glaring at me angrily. I blinked at him pretending to be puzzled, stretched out my foot with a playful smile, lifted up the heavy cotton skirt with the top of my foot, and rubbed it against his calf. I was shocked.
He gasped, immediately retracted his feet, then lowered his head, an unnatural pink color appeared on his face. But the slightly trembling shoulders still revealed his thoughts: This kid is probably offended by me.
In order to prevent him from making trouble with me at night, I restrained my movements and sat upright in a serious manner.
Well...just now, I was indeed teasing Lin Jingyu...
…I actually… teased the current emperor…
Suddenly a cold current rushed behind me, and I couldn't help but shiver.
It was probably the flirting under the table that Concubine Liu noticed. She pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, please pass on the food quickly. In this cold weather, you must enjoy the dishes as soon as they are ready.
Covered in a steamer to keep warm, the true nature of the delicacy has been lost over time! It should have been eaten half an hour ago, but..." As she spoke, she glared at the woman opposite her with a resentful look. The implication was very clear.
Obviously, he was blaming the other party for arriving late and delaying the meal time.
Lin Jingyu was not ignorant of this woman's thoughts, but he still felt very uncomfortable when he was complained for no reason. Originally, this was not his fault. Who would come to Qixia Palace? What should I eat in the imperial dining room?
No? If this damn soul hadn't summoned him randomly despite his own identity...
He gritted his teeth and stared back without showing any signs of weakness. But the person he was glaring at was not Concubine Liu, but me.
Feeling the needle-like eyes piercing me directly, as well as the gradually sour jealousy of the woman next to me and the catkin pulling at the dragon robe unwilling to be outdone, I deeply realized: What is the meaning of beauty's kindness? This guy, Little Whale
It’s not easy to deal with women for so long without causing trouble. Man—
well!
"Pass the meal!"
With a single order, the steaming delicacies were brought to the table one by one.
After the palace officials tested the poison, Liu Susu couldn't wait to show her hospitality to me.
"Your Majesty, try this. Sixi meatballs. These meatballs are tender, juicy and delicious. There are more than ten kinds of ingredients added to them! Your Majesty, try them and see if they are different from those made by the imperial chef."
Under Concubine Liu's ardent gaze and Lin Jingyu's piercing gaze, I chewed the food in my mouth fearfully. I didn't even taste anything out of the ordinary, and I finished it after just three or two. I could only nod randomly.
"good……"
"Your Majesty, try this again, lemon juice and almond shrimp balls. It's sour and sweet, and the sweetness is mixed with the sweetness of the sea. This almond crispy shrimp is soft, doesn't it taste good?"
I ate the golden shrimps with the chopsticks handed to my mouth. When I saw Liu Susu cast a malicious look towards the other side, I subconsciously looked at Lin Jingyu. He was lowering his head and eating silently.
Dish, completely treating us like air.
Damn it! How can he play with it if he avoids and tolerates it like this? We must drag him into the water!
With a pinch and a stretch of the chopsticks, the bear paw meat exuding an alluring aroma was presented to Lin Jingyu.
"My beloved, try this. This bear's paw is made secretly by the cook hired by Prime Minister Liu for the concubine using ancestral methods! This cooking method is different from the ones in the palace!"
Lin Jingyu raised his head and stared at the pure silver-tipped ivory chopsticks in front of him, hesitating.
Seeing my teasing look, he sighed inaudibly, picked up the bowl and was about to take the delicious bear paw that made my mouth water. I deliberately avoided the delicate white silver bowl and turned my chopsticks away.
Put it directly to his lips, and then watch his reaction with a smile.
Bai Nen's little face was slightly red. I knew he was angry rather than shy, but in the eyes of others - especially in the eyes of Concubine Liu Guifei, it felt completely different!
He glanced inadvertently, and sure enough, the expression on Concubine Liu's face became stiff and uncomfortable.
I secretly rejoiced.
Lin Jingyu, Lin Jingyu, let me show you what kind of poisonous insects and beasts you have in your harem! Let’s see if you dare to mess around with others in the future!
Unable to resist my persistence, Lin Jingyu slightly opened his red lips, took a bite of the fragrant fresh meat gracefully, chewed it in his mouth, swallowed, and tilted his head slightly.
"Indeed, I - it's really an unusual technique. I have never tasted such delicious bear paw meat! The meat is fresh, sweet and delicious, and it tastes like agar-agar in the mouth. It completely removes the fishy smell of the animal, which is really rare. Liu Xiang
In order for the concubine to live comfortably in the palace, a lot of money has been spent! Other concubines are not so lucky. Who said they don't have a high-ranking father in the family!" The tone was sarcastic and sour.
Absolutely. As he said that, he put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, pushed them out slightly, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and whispered: "I - I really can't eat any more."
After saying this, everyone in the room had different thoughts and their faces changed.
To the ears of the palace attendants, they all thought that the newly promoted Concubine Jin was jealous of the Concubine's family background, and was secretly jealous and causing trouble. But to the ears of the other two people involved, the meaning was completely different.
!
I thought Lin Jingyu had started to act like an emperor again, and in his heart he was jealous of the Liu clan who was plundering people's wealth. I quickly tried to comfort him, but ignored Concubine Liu's face that suddenly turned pale. Then she came with 'Empress Jin'.
The words of the two maids made the relationship between these two enemies worse and worse, making things a mess and triggering the first harem tsunami since I became emperor.
And the culprit is—that damn Qin Fox! This was all his bad idea!
Palace Maid A explained it this way:
"Your Majesty Lin, Concubine Jin did not deliberately refute the honor of the Imperial Concubine, nor did she deliberately displease the Emperor. The reason why the Concubine can't eat this delicacy is because she has been feeling unwell recently and cannot eat anything too greasy. The Imperial Master ordered
I want the empress to eat some light and refreshing food, avoid raw and cold fruits and vegetables, and avoid cold seafood and aquatic products..." As she said that, the maid hesitated for a while, as if she couldn't remember the instructions of a guy who was worried about the world being in chaos.
Then she stopped talking. Another maid from Jinxiu Palace then said:
"The Imperial Master also told the slaves that if the empress has an appetite, she can eat some pickled plums. However, this smooth and cold barley and yam sweet soup, and this steamed glutinous rice wrapped in bacon and bacon
Cake, I'm afraid it's not suitable for Concubine Jin to eat." As the girl said this, she also very dedicatedly moved aside all the dishes that the fox told her not to eat. After a while, the food in front of their beloved Concubine Jin appeared.
A large space on the desktop immediately became vacant.
Then, a palace maid with quick hands and feet immediately presented a small jar of pickled plums, honey and sweet preserved fruits. She placed them directly on the table, carefully took them out with a spoon, put them into a delicate white porcelain bowl, and placed them on the table.
In front of Lin Jingyu.
The corners of my mouth twitched, and I almost jumped out of fright at their generous statements and a series of smooth movements.
This...isn't this a food that only pregnant women should avoid?! How could Lin Jingyu—?
No. This is absolutely impossible!
I stabilized my mind, took Lin Jingyu's hand, and asked with concern: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that my concubine was not feeling well? If I knew that you had a loss of appetite and were in low spirits, I wouldn't have forced you to go out! Love.
As long as you tell me what you want to eat, are you afraid that the cooks won't be able to cook it?"
Lin Jingyu glanced at me angrily and said angrily: "How can you deny the good intentions of the Emperor and Concubine Liu? It's just a meal, it's not a problem." As he said that, he put a plum into his mouth and sucked it.
When I heard it, my whole little face wrinkled up with soreness. Before I could hand him the candied fruits, he opened his little mouth and spit out the plums, then covered his lips with a handkerchief and retched.
The expressions of everyone present changed greatly.
I am the only one who wants to cry but has no tears, and wants to raise my arms and cry out——
