Shangshi female official

The concubines pretended to exchange greetings and flattered each other before taking their seats.

The meals prepared in the imperial dining room were served one after another. The dishes were complex and exquisite, with chicken, duck, fish, meat and delicacies from all over the world. In front of each concubine and the emperor was a large table of bowls, cups and saucers of various colors, but they did not move. Chopsticks, wait for Concubine De to show you.

Concubine De stayed by the emperor's side to see how the food was going. When the grain porridge came, Concubine De persuaded with a smile: "Your Majesty, the grains are ripe this year. This is auspiciousness from heaven. Your Majesty has great blessings and is diligent and caring for the people." , Only then can the world be peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Qiu Dianshan, the imperial kitchen, specially made porridge with grains for the emperor, and the emperor will have a taste."

The emperor wondered: "Qiu Dianshan? Who is he?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, she has nothing to do with the previous one. She is a newly promoted dianshan. I see that her craftsmanship is excellent and she is a rare talent."

The emperor reluctantly raised the corners of his mouth, nodded slightly, and said: "Then bring it up and let me have a taste."

Feng Xiaobao bowed down and agreed, scooped out the porridge and gave it to Nanny Chen in a small dish. Just as the other bowl was about to be presented to the emperor, Xu Xinyan said in a sweet voice: "Your Majesty, this is a good omen for the grain, and I will give it to you." Please try it, I have never tasted the taste of this grain porridge."

Concubine De's face had a gloomy look on her face, and she managed to remain dignified. She just said: "You should change your youthful and ignorant habits. People eat grains. This grain porridge has the meaning of bringing good weather next year. Of course, the emperor must taste it first." , how can the concubine be allowed to try it first?"

"What's going on with Concubine De today? It's just a bowl of porridge. Why are you so tight?"

The Empress said such words indifferently, and Concubine De was extremely embarrassed. She quickly smiled at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I am nothing more than a concubine..."

"I understand what you are thinking." The emperor smiled slightly, and then said to Xu Xinyan: "Since Concubine Shun wants to taste it, Xiaobao, serve a bowl for Concubine Shun to try. Concubine Shun is very knowledgeable about eating. Let her see if it is good. eat."

Feng Xiaobao had no choice but to put down the bowl of porridge for the emperor first, and filled another bowl for concubine Shun. Concubine Shun held the porridge and smiled like a blooming flower. She stood up and said, "The emperor loves me, and I am happy."

She immediately scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, took a big mouthful, and praised the deliciousness with a "hmm" sound.

Wang Yifu was feeling strange that the porridge was not delicious, and the meaning was much more important than the reality. She also knew Xu Xinyan's taste, and she hated the tasteless things like clear soup. She didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd at the moment, so she thought As she stood there, Xu Xinyan suddenly felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

Concubine Li next to her hurriedly went over and asked, "Concubine Shun, what's going on? Could it be that... she's pregnant?"

Xu Xinyan covered her chest and shook her head, suddenly coughed and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

She fell to the side and fell into Li Bin's arms. Li Bin was too weak to hold her, so she sat down directly and kept shouting: "Shun Bin! Shun Bin!"

Xu Xinyan was lying in her arms, vomiting blood constantly. The dark blood flowed down her face and stained her flesh-white plain clothes. Today she had obviously prepared bright green and lake blue clothes, but... I picked this red one.

The emperor was about to walk up to her, but Concubine De stopped him and advised: "Your Majesty, this blood is unclean, Your Majesty, it is better not to come near..."

Xu Xinyan slowly raised her hand, pointed at Concubine De, and shouted weakly: "Porridge... that bowl of porridge... is poisonous..."

The emperor turned his eyes and glared at the virtuous and virtuous concubine, exhaling like an angry beast, but the royal upbringing suppressed his actions. Although he was angry, he could not use force. He turned to Feng Xiaobao and lectured: "What are you still doing? Hurry up. Call the imperial doctor!"

The entire west hall was in chaos, and the concubines, eunuchs and maids were all so frightened that they didn't know what to do.

The empress seized the opportunity, stood up and said: "Today's banquet is over, everyone should go back to the palace to rest. Quickly help Concubine Shun back to Yanqi Palace to ask for the imperial doctor, Concubine De returns to Jingren Palace, and the palace is under supervision. Shang Shang All the people in the food bureau will be locked up in the palace tonight and will be interrogated tomorrow." Concubine Shun pointed at Concubine De and poisoned the king. The concubines were leaderless and looked anxious. Now that the queen has stepped forward to take charge of the overall situation, the concubines are like Even if they receive amnesty, they will act in accordance with the Queen's instructions.

The emperor followed him to Yanqi Palace, and everyone in the Shangshi Bureau was imprisoned in Gong Zhengsi.

Wang Yifu and Nanny Chen were locked in a small room. The room had only one bed, a table and four chairs. Wang Yifu kept holding her chin, sitting on the chair in a daze. Nanny Chen sat on the edge of the bed and asked :"What’s wrong with you?"

"What are you talking about? What's wrong?"

"From the moment Xu Xinyan vomited blood, something was wrong with you. Do you know something?"

Wang Yifu stood up and sat next to Nanny Chen, holding Nanny Chen's hand. There were old calluses on the tiger's mouth, which were caused by holding knives for many years. The skin and flesh on Nanny's hand seemed to be separated and wrinkled. , but it can give Wang Yifu a little stability.

"Xu Xinyan invited me to Yanqi Palace today and asked me to do her a favor."

"What are you busy with?"

"She asked me to help her bring the clothes she brought from home to her mother as a thought."

Grandma Chen frowned and asked, "Why did she suddenly do such an unlucky thing..."

"I thought she was tricking me. I went to her for a trip, and when I came back, the female historian told me that Concubine De sent someone to check. I wasn't responsible in front of the stove, so I replaced Qiu Nanxue to make the five-grain porridge. Now it seems , asking me to send her clothes is true, it is her farewell move."

"Is this her plan?"

Wang Yifu spoke carefully, as if the words were hot on the tongue, "We are inseparable, together with the Queen..."

"Why would she have to risk her own life?"

"She has been in love with the Queen for a long time to avenge Jingmo. I wonder if the porridge is really poisonous?"

Grandma Chen suddenly grabbed Wang Yifu's hand and asked, "When the porridge was ready, did she take it from you?"

Wang Yifu gently patted the back of Nanny Chen's hand and explained: "It doesn't matter if you take it, Qiu Nanxue has tasted the porridge I made in front of everyone, and the porridge presented to the emperor is not considered to be made by me. , it came out of her hands."

Only then did Grandma Chen feel relieved. She pondered for a while, thought about the whole story, and sighed: "I'm afraid, they are just following their plan."

"Queen, are you going to use the trick?"

"The emperor's health is not as good as before. If we take this opportunity to persuade the emperor to drink some grain porridge every day for good luck, and then mix something into the porridge, who will know that he will be chronically poisoned?

When Xu Xinyan heard the news, she simply took advantage of the situation and took the poison in advance, and then drank the porridge. It was found that the porridge must have been laced with something unclean, so that the guilt of Concubine De's regicide could be proven. Otherwise, Xu Xinyan's work was just in vain. "
