Chapter 242 Cooking and Guqu

Min Xunfang felt relieved: "Well, since I was a child, no matter what I went to ask for, eight out of ten times I would not come, but I could always get what you wanted, so I got used to it and always pushed you to come forward. No It is said that it is successful every time, but it is more success than failure." She asked again, "What do you mean by telling me this?"

Min Shifang said: "What I mean is very simple. We are concubine daughters. In terms of status, those concubine daughters of honorable families all look down on us. We are in this harem, so it can be said that our status is low. In terms of natal family, those women are It is what we want and what the family gives, but we can only rely on ourselves. It is good that the family does not drag us down. So," she looked at Min Xunfang seriously: "To gain a foothold in this harem, we only rely on the emperor's favor .”

Min Xunfang said: "You are right. But the emperor hasn't come for almost a month, we..."

Min Shifang said: "So we have to find a way. Just relying on this face is not enough."

Min Xunfang said, "What's your idea? Tell me."

Min Shifang said: "I thought, besides being lustful, this man is delicious. Let's start from this aspect. See if it works."

Min Xunfang said: "You can cook, but I can only eat, so what should I do?"

Min Shifang said: "I found a guqin..."

Min Xunfang said: "But my piano skills are mediocre."

Min Shifang said: "You don't need to play the piano. You are always good at singing ancient tunes. We play the piano and sing together. Isn't that good?"

Min Xunfang felt relieved: "I know some ancient tunes and my voice is good, but when will the emperor come?"

Min Shifang said: "I have saved some money, and I am going to manage the imperial dining room, so that I can cook some special dishes for the emperor there."

Min Xunfang said, "It would be great if there was a small kitchen."

Min Shifang said: "As long as the emperor is happy to eat, there will be a small kitchen."

Min Xunfang thought for a while and asked, "Since you look like Wei Yuyan, tell me, would the emperor..."

Min Shifang glanced at her and said with certainty, "Impossible." She said, "Have you ever seen a concubine who is a queen?"

Min Xunfang also understood: "Yes, it's really impossible. I was delusional."

A few days later, the emperor came to Chunhua Palace again.

Min Shifang and Min Xunfang rushed out to greet her, "Your Majesty, Wanan."

When the emperor saw Min Shifang, he was stunned for a moment, "The clothes are pretty."

Min Shifang said: "I made this myself, and my second sister helped me choose the color."

The emperor nodded: "The clothes are well made. Jian Ru, I remember that some time ago, someone paid tribute to some brocades, and brought a few pieces to Min Zhaoyi, and brought more purple ones. She looks good in this color." Jian Ru immediately bowed I should.

Min Shifang knelt down to thank him, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Min Xunfang jokingly said, "Shifang not only knows how to make clothes, but also is very good at cooking. Your Majesty, you might as well try her handicraft today."

The emperor became interested when he heard it: "Hey, you can also cook? Okay, let's make some. I'm here for dinner today."

Jian Ru said from the side: "Your Majesty, aren't you going to have dinner at the Baohua Hall of Concubine Chang today? Look..."

The emperor said: "Tell Concubine Chang that I will go tomorrow." Jianru agreed, and went out to find someone to report to Baohua Palace.

Min Shifang and Min Xunfang felt relieved.

Min Shifang hurried to the imperial dining room to prepare the dishes. Min Xunfang walked to the front of the guqin and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine will sing an ancient tune for you, how about?"

The emperor nodded: "Alright."

Min Xunfang caressed the strings of the piano and sang in a manly voice: In ancient times, there was a flying phoenix, which traveled to the nine heavens; in ancient times, there was a potential dragon, which traveled to the sea.The phoenix is ​​flying, the heart is eager, and the dragon dives into the sea, the mind is burning.The concubine's heart was heavy, and she went back and forth endlessly.Concubine's meaning is like water, endless.

When the emperor heard it, he found it very pleasing to the ear, so he said: "Your piano skills are mediocre, but this ancient tune is sung with lingering sentimentality, which is very touching."
