Chapter 47 Head down?
"Auntie Gui's new snow pear and white fungus soup, do you all want to try it?" As soon as the white fungus soup was presented, Chi Xinian called the concubines nestled in her palace to come and eat.
In the army, Chi Xinian developed a quick-witted temperament. He always sought "quick" in everything and was rarely polite to others.
Therefore, as soon as the soup was served, she took away a bowl.
The elegant fragrance of snow-white pear flesh and white fungus filled the entire hall with the silver spoon she stirred. As soon as they smelled this smell, the concubines in the palace who had not even had time to use their breakfasts and rushed to accompany the queen to do morning exercises suddenly had their index fingers full.
move.
And since the queen was adding soup first, they didn't have to be restrained. As soon as Chi Xinian said hello, people came forward to serve themselves bowls of pear soup.
"Mama Gui's craftsmanship is really good. The white fungus is cooked so crystal clear that I can't even bear to eat it!" After serving the white fungus soup, Chen Meiren skillfully began to compliment Chi Xinian.
Among the concubines, she was the most active in showing her face in front of Chi Xinian.
These days, not only did she always try to please her with words, but she also deliberately sacrificed some sleep time and went to Fengqi Palace to accompany Chi Xinian for morning exercises.
After all, she had only been here a few times before, and she had a hand in preparing for the Spring Banquet. In the future, if we could get closer to each other, wouldn't there be more benefits?
Thinking like this, Chen Meiren felt that the white fungus soup in her hand tasted much better.
However, if some people compliment you, others will naturally disdain you.
As a person from Concubine Shu's side, Lai Zhaoyi cast a sarcastic look at Chen Meiren the moment she finished her words: "Ms. Chen is really short-sighted. Just an ordinary bowl of white fungus and snow pear soup can be called "Mr. Chen".
You praise the flowers."
"Then what Lai Zhaoyi means is that the Tremella Soup in the Queen's Palace is no longer good? In that case, what are you still doing in the Queen's Palace? To help Concubine Shu and add trouble to the Queen?" Chen Meiren glanced back at her and said nothing.
He responded rudely.
After several days of painstaking efforts to please her, she was completely on the Queen's side.
Therefore, when facing people from Concubine Shu's side, she was not very polite.
"You——!" Chen Meiren's complimenting style without leaving any way for her to retreat made Lai Zhaoyi very angry. But the Queen was still sitting on the front seat, so she couldn't retaliate with too much words.
After thinking for a moment, she could only grit her teeth and say: "The Queen is in charge of the Sixth Palace and treats every concubine politely. You are deliberately provoking it, so you have evil intentions!"
"In the future, you'd better be careful with what you say, otherwise, you will sow bad consequences for yourself, and your reputation as a queen will be ruined."
Having said this, Lai Zhaoyi hurriedly stood up and bowed to Chi Xinian: "I just didn't want others to instigate the relationship between you and Concubine Shu, so I rashly spoke out. I hope you will forgive me."
After saying that, she added: "Actually, Concubine Shu also respects you. It's just that she was banned by His Majesty when you came in, so she couldn't come to see you for a long time.
"She asked my concubine to tell you yesterday that when the confinement is lifted, she will come to see you immediately to apologize for her absence due to illness!"
"Concubine Shu really said that?" Chi Xinian raised his eyebrows, showing a bit of surprise.
What Lai Zhaoyi said was not in line with Concubine Shu's character.
But seeing that she was so steadfast in her oath and not lying, a little doubt appeared in Chi Xinian's eyes. Could it be that the different treatment in the past few days made Concubine Shu let go of her pride?
