Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 619 Strange Smell

No one could have imagined that Princess An would seek favor from the emperor for her female teacher, and no one would have thought that the emperor not only agreed, but also directly sealed her as a second grade.

Although this second rank is incomparable with the second rank of the court officials, it is a second rank after all. From now on, this woman who bears the reputation of Kefu is no longer an ordinary commoner. She has become the second rank of the emperor. Good Master.

No one can despise her at will, slander her, and embarrass her in front of everyone.

"Stay flat." Emperor Jing's voice sounded from above, and after Li Zheng thanked him again, he stood up and sat beside Concubine Rong.

"Master Li, congratulations." Turning to look at Li Zheng, Concubine Rong said with a smile, "I really didn't expect An'er to beg you for grace in front of so many people."

When Concubine Rong said this, she was telling Li Zheng that all of this was Princess An's own idea and had nothing to do with her. This was done so that Li Zheng could be more attentive in teaching Princess An in the future.

"Minnv didn't expect that after the palace banquet, the minnv should thank the princess well." She responded with a smile. At this time, Li Zheng's heart was filled with emotion, and she was even more thankful that she was not provoked to do anything irreparable. things to come.

"Let's start the banquet." Putting Princess An down, Emperor Jing sat on the chair again, and he opened his mouth to give orders, and it was obvious that Emperor Jing was in a good mood at this time.

Emperor Jing opened his mouth, and the palace servants from Shanglefang entered the hall to perform songs and dances for everyone, and some palace servants came in from outside the hall with wine and dishes.

Concubine Xian picked up the tea on the table, while drinking tea, Concubine Xian looked at Su Qingyan, at this time the palace servants had already placed the food in front of her.

A cold light flashed in her eyes, Concubine Xian sneered in her heart, and drank the tea in her cup.

When leaving Guanju Palace, Su Qingyan ate something on purpose, so she didn't feel hungry. After the food was put on the table, Zixuan immediately stepped forward to inspect all the food on the table for Su Qingyan.

Concubine Zhuang sat under Su Qingyan's hands, watching Zixuan test the poison, surprise flashed in her eyes.

She also knew about Xia Qianluo's going out of the palace. Before that, she had been worried that if Xia Qianluo was not around, someone would try to harm Su Qingyan at the palace banquet. countermeasures.

Picking up the chopsticks and tasting the food in front of her, Concubine Zhuang couldn't help frowning. For some reason, she always felt that the food tasted a bit strange.

After trying something else, Concubine Zhuang put down the chopsticks in her hand, and she found that today's food seemed to have a strange taste.

"Master, what's the matter with you?" Ban Xia stood beside Concubine Zhuang, watched Concubine Zhuang put down her chopsticks, then moved to her side and asked in a low voice.

"Ban Xia, I always feel that the taste of the food is not right, you have a taste." She whispered, Zhuang Concubine said to Ban Xia, after Ban Xia listened, she looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to her. Then he stretched out his hand, squeezed a shredded vegetable from the plate closest to him, and put it in his mouth.

"How?" Looking at Banxia, ​​Concubine Zhuang asked, Banxia pursed her lips and shook her head, but she didn't feel anything.

"Why? The taste is indeed a bit strange." Seeing Ban Xia shaking her head, Concubine Zhuang picked up her chopsticks again and tasted the new dish, but there was still an indescribable taste.

"Master, have you forgotten? Your tongue..." I didn't taste anything, but the master tasted something different. Ban Xia thought about it and whispered.

No one knew that Concubine Zhuang's tongue was a little sharper than the average person's. It was that point that allowed her to easily distinguish the difference in food, and that point made her suffer a lot when food was withheld.

I also know that the food that has been withheld must not taste very good. Others may be able to make do with it, but for Concubine Zhuang, it is simply too much to swallow.

It is because of this that she hopes that her status can be improved and her life will be better. After all, only in this way can the food be better and she can suffer less.

However, other than her and Banxia, ​​no one else knew about this. Normally, Concubine Zhuang let herself eat and drink like everyone else, but today, she really couldn't eat anymore.

"Ban Xia, tell me, do you have food..." Looking around, Concubine Zhuang whispered to Ban Xia.

"Master, I don't dare to say this nonsense." When the master said this, Ban Xia was startled, she opened her mouth quickly, with a nervous expression on her face.

"I know." Nodding, Concubine Zhuang picked up the water on the table and took a sip. The water was normal and had no strange taste, which made Concubine Zhuang suspect that there might be something wrong with the food.

Thinking of this, Concubine Zhuang turned her head and looked at Su Qingyan. At this time, Zixuan had finished testing the poison, and she nodded at Su Qingyan, indicating that it was ready to eat.

Seeing Zixuan nodding, Su Qingyan picked up the chopsticks and tasted the dishes on the table. Seeing Zixuan's movements, Concubine Zhuang couldn't help but look back at the food in front of her.

Could it be that it's really just my own problem, and the food is actually okay?

Thinking of this, Concubine Zhuang picked up the chopsticks again, her eyes quickly turned around the hall, and seeing that everyone was eating, she resigned herself to eating.

The dishes were brought up one after another, and Concubine Zhuang tasted them one by one. For some reason, she always felt a little uneasy, so she looked at Su Qingyan's table from time to time.

It seems that Su Qingyan sensed Concubine Zhuang's gaze too intensely. She turned her head and looked at Concubine Zhuang, "Concubine Zhuang, is there anything you want to eat in this palace?"

In the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, everyone ate the same food. Su Qingyan said that, she was just joking with Concubine Zhuang, after all, she always looked at the food on her table.

"Imperial concubine, I think the lotus spring rolls are very good." Hearing Su Qingyan's question, Concubine Zhuang smiled and said that she had already eaten the lotus spring rolls on her table.

"It's just right, I only moved this plate a little bit, if you don't mind, you can take it over and eat." Su Qingyan said with a smile after glancing at the hibiscus spring rolls on her table.

"Okay, then I would like to thank the imperial concubine and empress." Responding, Concubine Zhuang signaled Banxia to bring the hibiscus spring rolls on Su Qingyan's table to herself. She took one and put it in her mouth. The food on the table tasted the same, with a strange smell.

The food was the same, Zhuang Concubine felt relieved, she guessed that maybe the chef who cooked the dishes specially added something to make the food taste better, but she didn't expect that it would make herself, a person with a sticky tongue, become suspicious...
