Lucky Chef

Chapter 872 Extra Story: Mo Qingran (04)

In this harem, cleverness comes second to heartfeltness, and if the maid of honor is not loyal, no matter how clever she is, it will be in vain.

Wan Cui has passed the test of loyalty, and she is very quick in terms of intelligence. After getting to know her well in the future, she must be a steady and good helper.

Thinking of this, Mo Qingran showed a faint smile, helped Wan Xing and Wan Cui up with her own hands, and then slowly walked out of the Changqing Palace.

"Ma'am, the food will be cold, don't you need to eat?" Wan Xing asked in a low voice.

Mo Qingran shook her head with a smile, and looked towards the long road outside the gate of Changqing Palace. After a while, a bright yellow step walked over steadily.

... * ... * ...

"Reporting to Empress, Your Majesty has driven you to Changqing Palace." The maid in pink palace attire knelt on the blanket and reported loudly.

The glass cup in Du Manruo's hand just fell down, landed on the thick woolen blanket, rolled, and the wine in the cup was spilled.

"Miss."

Yixiang exclaimed, picked up the glass cup, checked it carefully, and saw that it was not damaged, so she was relieved.

"Huh, I went to Changqing Palace again. I had a lucky visit to her last night, and I will continue to visit her tonight? Isn't the emperor afraid that she will become a thorn in the back of the palace?"

Du Manruo said angrily with a gloomy face.

"You, go down."

Seeing this, Yixiang hurriedly drove away the woman in the pink palace dress, and then approached Du Manruo, persuading her in a low voice.

"Empress, don't think so. The emperor is so lucky. You are the empress who is in charge of the entire harem. You need to be magnanimous. Besides, you have the eldest prince and the eldest princess, and your position is so stable. Why care about those little ones?" Fairy, left and right are nothing but a novelty, after this period of novelty passes, the emperor will not care about her anymore, so you can do whatever you want."

Du Manruo leaned on the phoenix chair, her expression slowly turned from sinister to sad, she raised her head, looked at the chrysanthemums outside Fengyi Palace, and murmured with a half-crying half-smile.

"I've always known that he cherishes flowers the most, so he always planted all kinds of flowers to keep his people and his heart. Yixiang, look outside, the patchwork of flowers All kinds of chrysanthemums, in the past, he would have come here to enjoy the chrysanthemums long ago, but now, several months have passed, except for the five o'clock when he came, it was just to comply with the family law of an ancestor, and other concubines were summoned at other times. "

"This person is better than Huajiao, and there are so many new concubines, the emperor has to lose the novelty one by one to accept this."

Yixiang stood beside Du Manruo, and cautiously whispered, "Your Majesty wants to be more open. Although the people in Changqing Palace dote a little more than other people, it's not much. You don't have to worry about it, Madam. For color, she is indeed the first one, but how long can the color last, the real reassuring thing is Quan, empress."

Yixiang dared to say this because of her friendship with the empress for more than ten years, so she was so confiding, how could she dare to speak like this if it was any other court lady.

Du Manruo narrowed his eyes and glanced at Yixiang, and sighed in his heart, this is the only person who has been with him in the past ten years, and he didn't care that her words were a bit over the top, and said, "Although this is the case, if you enter the emperor's In my heart, it's different."

Yixiang was taken aback, looked left and right, and then said in a low voice, "No way, then Xi Zhaoyi is just a prettier and weaker person, and there were many concubines like this in previous years. into His Majesty's heart."

"The previous years were the previous years. This year, Xi Zhaoyi not only has Prince Gong's mansion behind him, but also saved His Majesty. I see that love is not normal." Du Manruo said with narrowed eyes.

"But, I haven't seen much love..." Yixiang frowned and thought for a while, "That is, recruited her for two days in a row, recruited someone else after a few days, and recruited her for two days in a row..."

Yixiang suddenly covered her mouth in surprise, looked at Empress Du Manruo in disbelief, and said in great surprise, "It was not clear at first, but if you calculate carefully, Your Majesty will not recruit for one-third of a month." Man, for the rest of the time, half of the time I summoned was her..."

"Hmph, this unobvious favor is the protection given to her by His Majesty. If His Majesty calls her for a month, whether she can survive in this deep palace is still a question." Du Manruo snorted coldly, Maybe it was because she finally told the things in her heart that she was much more relaxed than before.

"Your Majesty, this..." Yixiang frowned, and whispered in Du Manruo's ear, "This servant understands, why did Your Majesty give Xi Zhaoyi the pot of flowers, this person can't be kept."

"I know, Yixiang, this is just one of the ways, if there is no way to achieve our goal, maybe...you will have to work hard."

Du Manruo suddenly sat up straight from the phoenix chair, looked at Yixiang softly with his eyes, and said in a low voice, "It's been so many years, how Your Majesty and I have come here, you can see clearly, and you can see it clearly by such a person. I am really not reconciled to the fact that a woman has disrupted the balance for many years."

Yixiang's heart suddenly turned cold for a moment, she shook her hands, looked at the empress's expectant eyes, nodded her head with difficulty, and said, "Don't worry, Madam, Yixiang, Yixiang knows what to do."

"Yixiang, don't worry, your family is my family, and I will treat them kindly in the future." Du Manruo patted Yixiang's hand in satisfaction, and then continued to lie down lazily, leaving only Yixiang was alone, standing beside her in fits and starts.

Family, huh, the idea of ​​survival just sprouted was instantly extinguished, Yixiang knew that her family was in the queen's hands, if she didn't fulfill the queen's wish, the family would be...

That's all, it's the only way to trade your own death for the safety of your family.

Yixiang squeezed her hands slowly, but closed her eyes heavily, just to cover up the sudden tears.

After all, she overestimated Du Manruo's kindness. How can a woman who can make dozens of concubines disappear quietly in the backyard be a simple character.

How could...let yourself go.

Yichun, Yiyang, aren’t they all gone like this...

Yixiang lowered her head and told Du Manruo that she walked around Fengyi Palace step by step as if she had lost her soul.Along the slender path, Yixiang lowered her head and accidentally bumped into someone.

"Oh." The other party screamed and fell to the ground.

Yixiang raised her head, only to see clearly that it was Wan Xing, the court lady next to Xi Zhaoyi.

She quickly bent down, helped Wan Xing up, and apologized repeatedly, "I'm really sorry, Miss Wan Xing."

"Oh, it's sister Yixiang next to the empress. What's the matter? She looks devastated, which makes people feel so distressed." Wan Xing looked at Yixiang with concern, although she was chirping, but because of her voice It's crisp and pleasant to hear, but it doesn't make people feel annoying, but it's very pleasing to the ear.
