"That's fine, I haven't been to the Empress Dowager for several days. Let's go." Mo Qiqi planned to put this matter aside for the time being. Since she couldn't investigate, she didn't bother to bother.
The footsteps of spring have gone away unknowingly, and now it has entered early summer. The weather is gradually getting hotter, and the exotic flowers and plants in the imperial garden are vying to bloom.
Mo Qiqi and the Empress Dowager walked together in the imperial garden, admiring flowers and chatting.
"Qiqi, have you been very busy these days? Why haven't you come to chat with the Imperial Grandmother?" the Empress Dowager asked kindly.
"Actually, it's nothing big, just trivial matters." He didn't want to tell the Queen Mother about his troubles, lest she worry.
"The imperial grandmother is very happy to see you becoming more mature and steady. As a queen, although she is well-dressed and well-fed, she is also very worried. It is not easy for you to take care of all the big and small things in the harem. The emperor has many things to do every day, and the things in the harem are also I can’t help you much, so you have to work harder.”
"Don't worry, Grandma Huang, I will take care of the Emperor's worries." Mo Qiqi said obediently and sensibly.
The Empress Dowager smiled with satisfaction: "If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask the Imperial Grandmother, or you can ask your Seventh Emperor's Uncle for help. Although you are the elder and the younger generation now, you grew up together when you were young. He will definitely Will help you."
Mo Qiqi nodded: "Qiqi has remembered what the Imperial Grandmother said."
Mo Qiqi returned to Fengyang Palace in the evening and was very excited: "Banxiang, take this list and go to the imperial dining room to get these ingredients to the small kitchen of Fengyang Palace. I will personally cook tonight. .”
Banxiang asked in surprise: "Mother, do you want to cook the food yourself?"
Mo Qiqi couldn't hide her joy and said, "That's right, I'm going to invite someone to dinner tonight."
Banxiang scratched her head in confusion: "Invite someone to dinner, who? Could it be that the empress wants to invite the emperor to Fengyang Palace."
Mo Qiqi's excited little face immediately fell down: "Don't be so crow-mouthed. Even if I invite a pig to dinner, I won't invite that scumbag Jun Qianche. I want to invite the Seven Wise Kings to dinner tonight."
"Seven Wise Kings? Your Majesty, it's not a good idea to invite the Seven Wise Kings to dinner so late at night! What if the Emperor finds out—"
"If you don't tell me, if I don't tell you, how will the emperor know! Anyway, he won't come to Fengyang Palace if he has nothing to do. I have been honest these days and haven't caused any trouble, so he won't come. You go first Go to the imperial dining room, and then quietly inform the Seven Wise Kings." Mo Qiqi arranged carefully.
Banxiang was still very worried: "Empress, why do you have to invite the Seven Wise Kings to dinner?"
"I have something important to ask him, so don't ask any more and go quickly." Mo Qiqi urged.
Banxiang didn't dare to say anything and had no choice but to do as he was told.
Mo Qiqi thought to herself: You guys don't tell me what happened on the observation tower that day. Since the people in the palace dare not tell, then just ask Jun Yuehen, I believe he will tell me.
As night fell, Mo Qiqi prepared everything and waited for Jun Yuehen to arrive.
Jun Yuehen could be said to be responsive to Mo Qiqi's requests. As long as she had something to do, he would come even if he risked his own life.
A young eunuch followed the incense into Mo Qiqi's bedroom, came to Mo Qiqi, and slowly raised his head.
When Mo Qiqi saw the eunuch's face, she immediately smiled: "Yuehen, why are you dressed like this! If those women who admire you see us, the most beautiful man in Huachen Kingdom has become a eunuch, why don't you cry? Die! Hahaha—"
Jun Yuehen said in embarrassment: "Qiqi, please don't make fun of me. It's really inconvenient to enter the palace after dark. Only by dressing up like this to hide your identity can I avoid causing trouble to you."
Mo Qiqi patted his chest in emotion and said, "As expected of you, you are a good confidant. Sit down quickly. I have prepared a sumptuous dinner for you."
Jun Yuehen and Mo Qiqi sat down at the table.
Jun Yuehen looked at the table full of sumptuous meals and asked in confusion: "Why did Qiqi suddenly invite me to dinner?"
"Oh! You and I are friends. Isn't it normal to treat you to dinner? You have taken good care of me since I was a child, and you still help me and take care of me after entering the palace. So I am very grateful to you, but I don't know how to repay you. I can only I will personally cook a table of sumptuous dishes to entertain you!" Mo Qiqi did not get straight to the point because she was afraid that Jun Yuehen would run away blindly.
In the imperial study room, Jun Qianche had been busy all day and finally finished reviewing all the memorials. There were a lot of things going on in the court recently, so he was busy until late every day. Mo Qiqi had simply been very honest these days and did not add anything to him. trouble.
When Eunuch Lin saw that Jun Qianche had finished his work, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's dinner time. Does Your Majesty want to go back to Yujing Palace for dinner, or go to the palace of some empress?"
"Go back to Yujing Palace." Jun Qianche stood up.
Eunuch Lin spoke again: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Queen sent someone to the imperial kitchen to get some ingredients tonight, saying that she would cook the dishes herself. I thought that the Queen might have seen that the Emperor was too tired recently, so If you want to cook for the emperor yourself, why don't the emperor go to the queen's place for dinner?"
A disdainful smile flashed in Jun Qianche's eyes: "Mo Qiqi cooks?" He had seen her go into the kitchen and make the kitchen so smoky that she couldn't even cook a bowl of porridge. It was really funny that she couldn't cook.
"Okay, let's see if the small kitchen in Fengyang Palace has been burned down by the Queen." Jun Qianche walked towards Fengyang Palace.
In Guining Palace, Yang Shihan sat elegantly on the imperial concubine chair admiring her beautifully painted nails.
Her personal maid Qian'er came to the front and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Emperor went to the Queen's place for dinner tonight and will not come to our place. Your Majesty, please don't wait for the Emperor. The dinner has been prepared. My dear, please use it!"
"We're going to Mo Qiqi's place." A proud smile appeared on Yang Shihan's lips: "Okay, very good, there will be a good show at Fengyang Palace today."
Qian'er asked in confusion: "Why did the empress send someone to tell Eunuch Lin about the Queen's personal cooking tonight? Eunuch Lin is the most trusted person by the Emperor and will definitely tell the Emperor about this. This is not intentional. Your Majesty, go to the Empress!"
Yang Shihan smiled charmingly and said: "What do you know? Sometimes letting go is not a fulfillment, but a better way to break up. I'm hungry, let's eat!"
Fengyang Palace
Jun Yuehen looked at the delicacies on the table in disbelief and said, "Are these all made by Qiqi herself?"
Mo Qiqi nodded proudly: "Yes, is it surprising?"
"What a surprise. When did you learn to cook?" Jun Yuehen was very moved. She even cooked for herself.
"I learned it recently! Try it quickly and see if you like the taste." He picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of ribs on the plate in front of Jun Yuehen.
Just as Jun Yuehen was about to taste it, he saw a nanny walking in: "Old slave, please see the Queen, the Seven Wise Kings."
Mo Qiqi was startled, glared at Banxiang who followed and scolded: "Banxiang, why are you doing this? Didn't I tell you not to allow anyone to come in?"
Banxiang immediately explained: "Your Majesty, Grandma Li is a person close to the Empress Dowager. She said that the Empress Dowager has something to give to your Majesty."
Grandma Li seemed to be a very shrewd person at first glance, and said: "The Queen, there is no need to worry. I just came to deliver things to the Queen tonight on the order of the Queen Mother. I haven't seen anything else."
Jun Yuehen comforted her: "Qiqi, don't worry. Grandma Li is an old man next to the mother. She knows what to say and what not to say. Grandma Li, what did the mother ask you to give to the queen? "
Nanny Li immediately stepped forward and placed an exquisite wine pot on the table: "Empress, this is the fruit wine that the Queen Mother brought back from the palace this time. The Queen Mother liked it very much, so she brought back three bottles, one The Empress Dowager kept the pot for herself and gave one pot to the Queen Mother. The Empress Dowager said this pot should be given to the Queen Mother so that the Queen Mother could have a taste."
"You go back and thank the Imperial Grandmother on my behalf. I will definitely taste this wine." Mo Qiqi said dignifiedly and elegantly.
"Yes! I'm retiring, old slave." Grandma Li left.
Mo Qiqi looked at Banxiang and ordered: "Go outside and keep watch, don't allow anyone to come in."
"Yes!" Banxiang retreated.
Mo Qiqi took the wine sent by the Empress Dowager and said happily: "Grandma Huang really loves me so much that she can think of me even after a bottle of wine. I'm so happy! Yuehen, let's try this fruit wine together. How does it taste?" ."
Jun Yuehen nodded: "Okay."
"The Emperor has arrived!" Just when Mo Qiqi was about to pour wine for the Seven Wise Kings, a loud announcement suddenly came from outside.
Mo Qiqi was so shocked that she almost dropped the wine bottle in her hand. I really want to convince myself that this is just an auditory hallucination.
Jun Yuehen immediately took the wine bottle from her hand and comforted: "Qiqi, don't panic."
"Why is he here? What should I do? What should I do? Why am I so unlucky! Yuehen, you go to the inner room to hide for a while. I will send him away before you come out." Mo Qiqi pulled Jun Yuehen up in a panic. , walked towards the inner room.
Jun Yuehen came to the inner room, looked at the panicked Mo Qiqi, pressed her shoulders and comforted her: "Qiqi, don't be afraid, you have not done anything to disgrace the emperor, so there is no need to be nervous. Calm down and go pick him up. , Don’t let the Emperor see any flaws, so that the Emperor won’t be suspicious.”
Mo Qiqi nodded: "Yes, yes, you're right. I need to calm down, calm down. I'm going to pick up the driver now." She took a deep breath and walked out of the inner room, trying to calm down her heart.
Jun Qianche strode in, and the smell of food filled his nostrils.
"Your Majesty." Mo Qiqi smiled slightly and saluted.
"Get up!" Jun Qianche put his hands behind his back, his tone was calm and full of magnetism.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mo Qiqi looked at Jun Qianche with a smile.
Jun Qianche's eyes fell on the dining table next to him. He was surprised to see the delicious food on the table. When his eyes fell on the two sets of bowls and chopsticks, his eyes turned cold.
Seeing Jun Qianche staring at the bowls and chopsticks, Mo Qiqi immediately stepped forward and explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, my concubine personally cooked these dishes tonight. I wanted to invite the Emperor to come and taste them together, but I just tasted it first and felt that the taste was not very good. I was afraid of being laughed at by the emperor, so I gave up the idea. I didn’t expect that the emperor and my concubine were so in tune with each other that they actually came here by themselves, hehe—"
