Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 210
Huang Xiang glanced at the tall Xu Ping in front of her, lowered her eyes and said, "I...I don't know how I got here."

But he didn't answer Xu Ping's second question.

Xu Ping was very happy when he heard Huang Xiang's words, but the corners of his mouth just raised, and he couldn't laugh anymore after seeing the slap print on Huang Xiang's face, so he asked Huang Xiang again, "Miss Huang Xiang, what's your face?"

Huang Xiang raised her head and smiled at Xu Ping, but there was bitterness in her smile, "For those of us who are slaves, the master is in a bad mood, isn't it common to be beaten?"

Hearing this, Xu Ping looked at Huang Xiang distressedly, and said, "Miss Huang Xiang, you have suffered."

Huang Xiang shook her head and said, "Who told us that our fate is bad, because we are slaves."

"I still have a bottle of good wound medicine. I'll take it later and send it to Miss Huang Xiang." Xu Ping said.

Huang Xiang shook her head and said, "No need, you are still on duty, so I won't bother you, let's go first."

Huang Xiang said that she was about to leave in a hurry.

Xu Ping held Huang Xiang anxiously, and said, "Miss Huang Xiang, you don't have to be polite to me, I'll send someone over there in a while."

Xu Ping turned around and ran away without waiting for Huang Xiang to refuse.

Seeing this, the corners of Huang Xiang's mouth were slightly raised, and she returned to Lanyue Palace in a good mood.

But as soon as he reached the gate of Lanyue Palace, the smile on Huang Xiang's face disappeared completely again.

"Is there any progress?" Xi Concubine asked when she saw Huang Xiang came back.

Huang Xiang had long thought of an answer, and when she heard Xi Concubine's question, she said, "Go back to your mother, I have found a more suitable candidate to contact, but I didn't find a chance to contact her today, I will go to see her tomorrow, can I You can't get in touch with her first."

Xi Concubine was overjoyed upon hearing this, "Good."

There is a small kitchen in Lu Wanning's palace. At noon, the cook in the small kitchen cooks a few dishes that he likes. After tasting them, he thinks they are not bad.

So, let the cook in the small kitchen make soup, changed his clothes, and took the soup to Jianzhang Palace himself.

Luo Chengjing was only surprised for a moment when Lian Yongwang reported that Lu Wanning asked to see him, and then asked Lian Yongwang to announce Lu Wanning to come in.

"Why is my concubine here?" Luo Chengjing stopped Lu Wanning from saluting, and asked while holding her hand.

"The concubine came here specially to thank the emperor for the small kitchen for the concubine." Lu Wanning said with a smile: "The concubine's small kitchen has been officially opened today. The concubine has tried their craftsmanship and thought it was not bad, so I brought the small kitchen specially. Let the emperor have a taste of their handicrafts."

Qingzhi handed over the food box to Lian Yongwang.

After Lian finished using the food box, he sorted out the memorials on the table, put the food box on the table, took out the soup cup from inside, opened the lid and put it aside.

As soon as the lid is lifted, the fresh aroma of the soup floats out.

Luo Chengjing sat down at the table, took a sip with the spoon, and said with a smile: "It tastes really good."

"It's as long as the emperor likes it." Lu Wanning said: "Then the emperor is slow to use it, and the concubine will resign first."

ah?Luo Chengjing was stunned, holding the spoon in his hand and watching Lu Wanning leave Jianzhang Palace with Qingzhi.

Seeing that Lu Wanning was gone, Luo Chengjing looked down at the soup in front of him, then looked sideways at Lian Yongwang, and said: "...so Concubine Zhuang really just sent me a soup for me to taste ?”

Lian Yongwang replied: "It seems so, Your Majesty."

After Luo Chengjing heard the words, he didn't say anything, but drank the soup in front of him.

The fact that Lu Wanning went to Jianzhang Palace to deliver soup to Luo Chengjing was soon known by everyone in the harem.

In Xia Meiren's palace, Xia Meiren asked her close maid with some concern, "Has the emperor seen Zhuang Concubine?"

The maid nodded and said, "See you."

Xia Meiren was thoughtful.

Seeing this, the maid asked, "Beauty, would you like to give the emperor something to eat? Although we don't have a small kitchen, you can use the big kitchen in the palace to make it yourself. Wouldn't it be more considerate?"

Xia Meiren nodded, "You are right, but Mrs. Concubine Zhuang has already delivered it today, and we will deliver it tomorrow."

Except for Xia Meiren, the other concubines in the palace who wanted to compete for favor also thought about whether to follow Lu Wanning's lead and deliver food to Luo Chengjing.

In the palace where Wang Cairen lived, Qin Yin, a court lady who was more valued by Wang Cairen, also suggested to Wang Cairen, "Cairen, why don't you make a snack or soup for the emperor tomorrow from the big kitchen?" Send it."

The emperor hasn't come to them for a few days, and if they go to deliver soup to the emperor, the emperor will be reminded of them.

Wang Cairen's heart was moved for a moment when he heard the words, but finally he shook his head and said: "I am different from Concubine Zhuang. Although I am still favored now, I am far behind Concubine Zhuang. Your Majesty is willing to see Concubine Zhuang. But it may not give me this face, wait and see."

Qin Yin admired Wang Cairen very much, and stopped persuading Wang Cairen after hearing Wang Cairen's words.

Lu Wanning didn't know that she gave Luo Chengjing soup once, and everyone in the harem was ready to set an example.

But even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

Luo Chengjing used the soup sent by Lu Wanning at noon, and went to Ruichang Palace in the evening to taste the cooking skills of the small kitchen cook himself.

After dinner, Luo Chengjing was very satisfied and let people admire the small kitchen.

Because Luo Chengjing went to Ruichang Palace at night, the concubines in the harem made up their minds to follow Lu Wanning's example and deliver food to Luo Chengjing the next day.

So, when Luo Chengjing was approving the memorial in Jianzhang Palace on the second day, he heard the little eunuch come in and report that a concubine would bring snacks, and after a while he heard the little eunuch come in and report which concubine would bring soup.

Luo Chengjing was so annoyed, "Lian Yongwang, you go and tell them, I won't see anyone, and I will go back where I came from, and those who come later don't need to report."

Lian Yongwang responded, and then asked: "Your Majesty, what if Concubine Zhuang comes?"
Lian Yongwang paused when he heard the movements in his hands, and said: "Concubine Zhuang will not come today." She is not so ignorant.

Lian Yongwang stopped talking too much, and went outside the palace to deal with Luo Chengjing's harem concubines who came to deliver food.

Outside Jianzhang Palace, Xia Meiren was standing opposite to each other with a food box in her hand and Xue Cairen who was also carrying a food box. Next to her were two other concubines who were also carrying a food box.

Xue Cairen's foot restraint has been lifted for seven or eight days, but Luo Chengjing hasn't been there since her foot restraint was lifted, which made her feel very uneasy. This time, she sent snacks to Luo Chengjing to see if she could win the emperor again. favorite.

Who knew that she had worked so hard to make snacks, but when she came to the gate of Jianzhang Palace, she saw Beauty Xia and the other two concubines.
