Concubine Yu took the sweet potato, took a bite, and said happily.
"I haven't even eaten roasted sweet potatoes. The imperial concubine must have never suffered before."
Zhao Yurou, a rich young lady, often eats this kind of food. If she has never eaten this kind of thing, then she is really from a wealthy family.
"I have never eaten anything like this since I was in the palace since I was a child!"
Concubine Jade shook her head shyly, recalling her past, which was also a glorious one.
It's a pity that things change and people change. A new generation replaces an old one. The city is here and people are gone. Looking at these unfamiliar faces, I feel how time flies by so fast.
"..."
Zhao Yurou wanted very much to ask her what happened before, but she was afraid of irritating her, so she swallowed her words again.
"Empress, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent someone to deliver something again!"
Sunflower seemed a little nervous these days. She was flattered to have received so many voices for no reason, and she even felt that her death was coming.
"Just go ahead and deliver the things. It's not just for us anyway, so there's nothing to make a fuss about!"
Feng Lingyu leaned on the couch and petted the cat, muttering lazily.
"The Emperor has been so strange lately, and I always feel like something big is going to happen!"
Xiangkui and Zhao Yurou were both a little panicked. They were spotted by the emperor without warning. This was not a good thing for the concubines in the cold palace.
"Can you please stop being so panicked? It's a good thing to be discovered by the emperor. At least someone knows that you are still alive!"
Concubine Jade's soft voice rang out, waking up the confused people.
"You can't stay here all your life. You have to find a chance to get out. Even if the end result is still here, you can't...not fight for your own life!"
"What Concubine Yu said makes sense, but the salary has been improved in the past few days, and there is no gossip..."
Zhao Yurou walked around the room with a sad look on her face.
"Then let's go out and ask! I think it's just a very common thing. The Chinese New Year is about to come, and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the cold palace's treatment being improved!"
Feng Lingyu perked up after hearing what they said. If she didn't ask about this matter clearly, these people wouldn't be able to sleep.
"Where is the father-in-law who delivered the things? Let him come in!"
"It's right outside the door. I'll go and invite you, slave!"
Sunflower hurried out and brought in a little eunuch after a while.
"Slave Yuliu has met the Queen!"
The little eunuch knelt on the ground respectfully, not daring to raise his head. The emperor had ordered that everyone in the cold palace should be treated harshly these days.
Moreover, all the bully dog slaves in the past have been beaten to death, and his new little slave does not dare to make any mistakes.
"Young father-in-law, you don't need to be more polite..."
"Thank you, Queen!"
Yu Liu stood up in a hurry, lowering his head, still not daring to look at the other people in the room.
"My father-in-law, let me ask you, has anything good happened in the palace recently?"
Zhao Yurou couldn't wait to start asking questions. She would definitely go crazy if she held it in any longer.
Yuliu shook his head quietly, "I haven't heard of what I said to you, my dear lady!"
"If there is no happy event in the palace, why is Leng Palace so busy recently? The emperor seems to take special care of Leng Palace!"
Zhao Yurou asked tentatively, looking at the little father-in-law in front of her. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with delicate features and very white eyes.
"Returning to your Majesty, I am just a little eunuch on duty. I don't know why the emperor gave the order, but I heard that the people who deducted food from the cold palace have been killed with sticks!
Now that the emperor has said that the things in the palace should be arranged according to the seniority of elders and juniors, the queen will naturally send more things here!"
Yuliu told everything he knew. As for the things he didn't know, he didn't dare to say anything. Some people speculated that the emperor might want to take the queen back.
But this is a rumor after all and should not be taken seriously. If the Emperor wanted to take the Queen back, why not come directly to pick her up? There is no need to go through so much trouble.
"sunflower……"
Feng Lingyu winked, and Xiangkui hurriedly took out some money and stuffed it into the fish fillet, "My father-in-law, thank you for your hard work coming here this time!"
"I don't dare to accept this slave. If the emperor finds out, this slave will be implicated in the nine clans..."
Yuliu turned livid with fear and shook his head hastily. Who dares to talk about the money of the people in the Leng Palace? I heard that the people who accepted bribes in the past few days were beaten to death. The eunuchs currently on duty in the Leng Palace are all young eunuchs.
"You just said... that many eunuchs were killed with a stick. Is there an outstanding-looking father-in-law among them?"
Feng Lingyu suddenly thought of that person. He hadn't been here for several days. He must have been beaten to death. When he thought of this, his heart trembled.
Having lost such a young life in vain, I looked at my cat again, and after a few minutes of silence for that person, I made up my mind to take good care of this cat.
"I don't know what they look like. I killed several young eunuchs with a stick a few days ago. I heard that they all had unclean hands and feet!"
After Yuliu finished speaking, Feng Lingyu was even more certain that the man was dead. Thinking carefully, he might have been beaten to death because he asked him to get a piece of agarwood for him.
Thinking of this, I felt guilty, thinking that I must burn more paper money for him at night, hoping that he would be a healthy man in his next life.
"The weather is so cold, I don't have anything good to entertain you here. There are freshly baked sweet potatoes and fish fillets. If you don't mind, just take some!"
Feng Lingyu saw that his face was red from the cold, and he must have walked all the way, and felt sad. It happened that the hot sweet potatoes could not only fill his stomach, but also relieve the wind and cold.
Yu Liu swallowed his saliva. He had not eaten such good food since he entered the palace. He missed it very much. He looked at the Queen with excitement, but was still a little scared, "Can it really be eaten?"
"I'm going to reward you with a few sweet potatoes. If that's called accepting bribes, then let them come to me!"
Feng Lingyu shook her head helplessly. It seemed that they were really frightened. They didn't know why the emperor was so angry that he was willing to stand up for the ladies in the cold palace.
In this place where no one will be found if you die, now that the emperor is paying attention, life in the cold palace is getting better.
"Thank you, Queen!"
The fish fillet was very excited and took two, but was reluctant to eat them. Seeing this, Sunflower took a few more and wrapped them in paper for him, and helped him put them in his arms.
"You can still warm yourself up on this journey, Mr. Yuliu, walk slowly!"
Yuliu nodded vigorously, "Slave, please resign!"
After leaving the cold palace, Yuliu returned to the emperor to resume his life.
Baili Qingchen dismissed everyone, leaving only the master and servant in the room.
"The servant came to see the emperor. The servant had already delivered the things that the emperor asked the servant to deliver. The queen thought it was something happy happening in the palace, so she didn't ask any more questions!"
Baili Qingchen nodded with satisfaction. He didn't do these things just to let her know.
