At noon, in front of Lingxiao Pavilion in Zichen Palace:
Ye Chiying, who was dressed in a pink phoenix crown and Xia Pei, came down to the attic surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs. A maid next to her was holding a vermilion food box. When the eunuch at the door saw her coming, he hurriedly took the white food in his arms.
With a whisk, they knelt on the steps and said in their usual male duck voice, "I'll wait to see you, Concubine Ying, and I wish you all the best!"
"waived"
Ye Chiying said hurriedly and walked straight upstairs without looking back.
The personal maid behind her was also carrying a big food box, and the other palace maids and eunuchs who were following her stopped. The emperor was dining upstairs. Except for the imperial concubine and a few high-ranking palace maids, they were not allowed to go upstairs.
of
The eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground got up, but they looked at each other tacitly: Your Majesty is having dinner with the princess, and this empress has arrived. I'm afraid it's not the right time.
Ye Chiying was not aware of this kind of thing. She walked briskly and wanted to put on her wings and fly to the attic immediately. At the same time, she did not forget to whisper to the maid behind her: "Suyun, hurry up, I made this lotus leaf plum blossom
Braised pork is delicious when it is hot. This is the most famous specialty dish in our country! I want to give His Majesty a surprise. His Majesty will definitely like my cooking skills."
"Slave, come here, your Majesty"
Na Suyun followed her in small steps, carrying the food box and being careful not to be hit by the mahogany steps on the stairs. Ye Chiying had no intention of waiting for her, and hurried upstairs first.
Just when she was about to walk onto the platform, she saw through the eyebrow-high platform railings that there was already a little girl wearing a light blue skirt sitting very close to Qin Zheng on a table.
eat and drink
The aroma of wine and meat and the sound of them laughing together came over, clearly like a sharp arrow, hitting her eyes widened in shock.
She wanted to walk up and ask for details, but a calm voice in her heart stopped her:
Chiying, you are just a marriage princess sent by a defeated small country. What is the difference between you and the treasures and property that were sent as tribute? What qualifications and rights do you have to question this lofty Lord of Ten Thousand Times? If you are so rash and reckless, it will be wrong.
I broke in indiscriminately, I'm afraid it's me who will suffer the loss.
Calm down, Chi Ying. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle. Go back and find out clearly where this girl came from and which palace she is a concubine before making any plans.
Thinking of this, she turned around silently, waved her hand to Suyun who was holding a food box, and said softly: "Don't say anything, follow me downstairs."
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Na Suyun looked at her doubtfully. She was so happy just now that she wanted to rush upstairs to see the emperor. Why did she suddenly become so dejected?
But she was a palace maid who had been trained in the palace for many years. She was smart and she quickly sensed something was wrong. She didn't ask any more questions and followed Ye Chiying downstairs.
Ye Chiying walked down the stairs with a gloomy face. When the eunuchs guarding the door saw her coming down, they hurriedly came up to greet her and saluted: "I'm waiting to see you off as your empress."
