After working in the small kitchen for nearly an hour, Ye Jun was sweating all over, and finally he managed to make a plate of milk cubes.
Since coconut flakes are hard to find nowadays, a layer of ground peanuts is sprinkled on the outside.
The main reason was that there were many materials and tools that were not available. In addition, Ye Jun had not cooked for a long time since entering the palace, and her skills had become rusty, so it was not easy to make one.
Of course, there is a more important reason.
The first few times I sent it, I was thinking about getting favored, so I took extra care. Now that I am favored, just let myself go.
"Will Concubine Jieyu send it off personally?" Nan Zhi asked.
Ye Jun waved his hand and said, "I am too lazy to go. Let Bai Zhu go."
Hot and tired, she didn't want to move.
Nan Zhi responded, packed the things, and asked Bai Zhu to take them away.
Ye Jun was sweating and feeling uncomfortable, so he simply took a shower and lay down for an afternoon nap.
At night, I thought Ning Chen would come over, but he summoned Concubine Su to sleep with him.
Since Su entered the palace, she has not served the emperor in the emperor's bed since the first time. It has been more than a year, how come the emperor remembered her again
Everyone in the harem was confused.
The main thing is that during this period, Concubine Su was not seen doing anything to seduce the emperor.
In Weiruixuan, Yao Xiang was also surprised to hear the news.
Since it wasn't something Su did, it must be something related to the political situation.
I guess there must be some movement from the Zasak side, otherwise the emperor would not have thought of Sudiya.
Thinking back to the previous life, there was a saying that the third prince Zhuoligetu revolted and was suppressed by Aoqi, but the time didn't match up, not to mention that Zhuoligetu was already dead, and the third prince now was his son Enhejin.
Sudiya entered the palace instead of Dolan, and the trajectory must have shifted.
Yao Xiang thought about it carefully for a while, and decided to ask Zizhu to find a way to send a message home and ask them to investigate what had happened.
She had an idea in mind, and those with better family backgrounds in the palace could guess it a little.
For a time, concubines who were able to quickly get the news in Kyoto all sent gifts to their families.
Not only the concubines, but also the empress dowager in the Cining Palace took the same action.
"The Emperor can summon Concubine Su, who has been out of favor for a long time, for the sake of state affairs, so why doesn't he like Su Yu?"
The Queen Mother leaned back on the pillow, turning the Buddhist beads in her hand, and sighed deeply.
In the past, Ning Chen often came to pay his respects to her, but now the frequency is getting less and less. This time during the southern tour, except for the day he returned to the palace, he had not seen her again.
Duanwu did send someone to deliver some gifts, but the person didn't show up.
"Empress Dowager, there is something I know you don't want to hear, but for your sake, I have to say it today." Nanny Fu finally couldn't help it.
The Queen Mother glanced at her, lowered her eyes slightly, and waved her hand.
Nanny Fu said directly, "Since ancient times, no emperor likes to see ministers who are more powerful than the emperor. The Chen family has made great contributions to assisting the emperor, but a tall tree attracts the wind. There is no need for me to explain the truth that things will turn against themselves when they reach the extreme. In order to ensure the long-term prosperity of the Chen family, they must be low-key and restrained for the time being, and take things slow and steady."
"But he is his own uncle, how could he have evil intentions like others..."
"Empress Dowager!" Nanny Fu interrupted her and knelt down. "I have served you for many years and have never done anything bad to you. If you trust me, please listen to me and give it a try. If it doesn't work, I will not dare to persuade you again."
The Queen Mother stared at her for a long time, then let out a long breath.
"Forget it. I will make a bowl of almond curd tomorrow and you can send it to the emperor. He loved to eat this when he was a child."
Only then did Nanny Fu stand up, looking a little more relaxed.
Jiuchen Palace.
After serving the emperor, Sudiya was ordered to spend the night in a side hall and not stay in the emperor's bedroom.
She now seemed not to like the young emperor so much, and only thought that life would be better for a while after she slept with him.
Baicao helped her wash up, sent everyone away, and then quickly took out the pills that Yao Xiang had given her as a reward.
"Do you really want to eat this, beauty?..."
"If this thing is so good, why doesn't Fang Xiuyuan use it herself?" Concubine Su sneered, "But do I have a choice? Judging from the emperor's attitude towards me today, I know that the emperor still doesn't like me. I'm afraid he summoned me for the sake of the court. If I really want to turn things around, I can only rely on my offspring."
She had to take this medicine.
She was tired of being ignored and bullied, and she knew that Yao was not really helping her.
But she wanted to live a glamorous life so much that she would definitely take the medicine even if there was something wrong with it.
Baicao was silent, poured a cup of warm water, and watched his master swallow the pill.
Greetings the next day.
Su, who had just served the emperor in bed, naturally became the focus.
As soon as I entered Fengqi Palace, I heard the voice of Concubine Shu.
"As expected of a princess from Zasak, the emperor has forgotten about this for more than a year, but now he has remembered it again. She is different from others after all."
"Once you enter the palace, you will all be the emperor's concubines. The term 'princess' or 'no princess' is just a passing fancy. Your Majesty, you are really embarrassing me." Concubine Su bowed.
Even though she had seen many concubines quarreling, she usually never participated in the greetings, so her fighting ability was not able to keep up.
Seeing this, Yao Xiang chuckled, "I heard that Concubine Ming sent someone to bring snacks to the emperor yesterday. I thought the emperor would sleep with Concubine Ming because of her kindness, but why did he summon Concubine Su instead? Concubine Ming, do you know why?"
"How can we speculate on the emperor's intentions at will? If Fang Xiuyuan wants to know, she can go and ask the emperor herself. You can tell me later." Ye Jun said indifferently.
Yi Xiuyuan sneered, "Why are you asking this? It's probably because your cooking skills are not good and the food you made is hard to swallow. If you send it to the emperor, he will feel uncomfortable eating it for no reason."
Unexpectedly, after she said this, Ye Jun suddenly turned around and stared at her as if she was a fool.
Yi Xiuyuan felt uncomfortable being stared at, frowned, and snorted, "Why are you staring at me?"
"I have heard a saying that a woman becomes stupid for three years after pregnancy. Today, after seeing Xiuyuan, I realized that it is true." Ye Jun curled his lips, his tone full of sarcasm.
Yi Xiuyuan's face darkened immediately, "Ye, you dare to scold me."
Ye Jun raised his eyebrows, stood up calmly and bowed.
"Xiuyuan, I remember that when I sent snacks to His Majesty, Xiuyuan was there too. She even praised my cooking skills. How come I have forgotten everything now? This is so inconsistent. I think Xiuyuan should ask an imperial physician to take a good look at her. Don't tell me that she has a bad memory at such a young age."
Yi Xiuyuan was speechless for a moment, glared at her fiercely, picked up the cup, took two sips of tea, and turned away.
Needless to say, Ye Jun won this battle.
The queen had seen enough of the show and told everyone to disperse with satisfaction.
After leaving Fengqi Palace, Concubine Su was called by Yao Xiang to Weiruixuan.
People didn't pay much attention to it before because Su Meiren was out of favor, but the situation is different today, so they can't help but pay more attention to it.
It was only then that everyone realized that the Sumerians and Fang Xiuyi seemed to be in the same boat.
