Chapter 517 The imperial concubine is grounded

Ever since His Majesty was displeased at the Shangyuan Festival banquet, the imperial concubine has not seen the Emperor for several days.

Today, she personally cooked and made qi-invigorating soup for the old emperor. As soon as she arrived at the door of the imperial study, she heard the hearty laughter of the old emperor inside.The imperial concubine was immediately overjoyed, today is really the right time, and while His Majesty is happy, I might be able to see His Majesty's face, so please please!

In the end, she was indeed satisfied. The old emperor really let her in after hearing the report from the little eunuch. It was only after entering that the imperial concubine found out that the two sisters, Yun Shu, were also in the imperial study.

The imperial concubine's face twitched, and it took a lot of effort not to let the smile on her face collapse.

"Your Majesty, you have worked hard these past few days, and my concubine specially made soup for you, and I will send it to you quickly to nourish your body."

Although the noble concubine looks aloof in front of others, she is a tactful and charming little girl in front of the old emperor, who can turn seventeen or eight corners in a single sentence. She is really a genius for acting like a spoiled child!
It's just that she is quite old, and she is acting coquettishly and cute like a little girl, which makes people feel a little unacceptable.

Yun Shu only felt a chill on his back, and goosebumps all over his body were about to come down.

Xiao Yunxin also leaned closer to her sister, and silently rolled up her sleeves.

Maybe the old emperor was in a good mood, or maybe he was used to the concubine's way of speaking, so he didn't feel it at all. He took the soup with a smile, stirred it with a spoon and said with a smile: "It's just right, I just ate it. After eating the rose cake prepared by Ning An, and now there is soup to drink, Concubine Ai really understands what I mean."

Being praised by the old emperor like this, the imperial concubine was so happy that she almost flew into the sky.It's just that when he heard the old emperor's next words, his whole body seemed to have fallen into an ice hole.

I just heard the old emperor say: "Ning An's craftsmanship is excellent. This rose cake is the most delicious short cake I have ever eaten. No royal chef in the palace can compare to her. Aifei came at the right time, so hurry up and try it." Ning An's craftsmanship."

The concubine's smile froze at the corner of her mouth.

The old emperor was still unaware, took a sip of the soup and said, "I finally understand why the emperor despises the skills of the imperial chef. There is such a granddaughter who is an excellent cook in the family. How can we still look up to the imperial chef in our palace?" craft?"

The noble concubine's eyes were fixed on the rose cake on the table without any response.

The old emperor felt strange and looked at her: "Aifei, Aifei?"

"Ah? Yes, Your Majesty." The imperial concubine hurried back to her senses, but her absent-minded appearance already made His Majesty a little unhappy.

The old emperor stirred the soup with a spoon, and said again: "What is the noble concubine thinking? Didn't you hear what I just said?"

The imperial concubine who was thinking of changing the subject suddenly lost her guts. When the emperor was talking to her, she was distracted and said something else on purpose. Isn't this just an obvious confrontation with the emperor?

There is no other way, the imperial concubine can only force herself to laugh, and said: "Your Majesty, calm down, I heard His Majesty praised the princess's craftsmanship, and I was thinking about what is so special about this rose cake, so that His Majesty can even praise you so much." Woolen cloth!"

Sure enough, Jiang is still old and hot, and his eyes are so quick that Yun Shu couldn't help but praise him.

The old emperor's complexion really looked better, and the imperial concubine hurriedly persuaded him to drink some more soup, thinking of changing the topic from rose shortbread to this soup.

Not wanting to, Yun Shu spoke up.

"Young concubine, how can I know what is so special about my rose cake just by thinking about it? Why don't you try it, after you taste it, you will know why my short cake is praised by His Majesty."

The imperial concubine really wanted to tear her mouth apart, and she managed to change the subject. This little girl insisted on letting her eat rose cakes. Didn't she know that she...

The old emperor also smiled and said: "Yes, just now I told my concubine to taste it, give it a try quickly, you should like roses so much."

"Why should I like it? I will definitely like it!"

Xiao Yunxin hurriedly corrected the old emperor's words, although she felt that the taste of this rose cake was not as good as that of fresh meat, but as long as it was made by her sister, it would definitely be inferior to others.

The old emperor laughed and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I was wrong. Of course I like such a delicious rose cake."

As the king of a country, the old emperor basically would not make mistakes, and even if he made a mistake, he would not admit it easily, even if it was a joke.But for Xiao Yunxin, he really had no way not to like her.

The imperial concubine naturally discovered this too. It is amazing that His Majesty has never done this to his own daughter, yet he cares so much for a niece.

But the surprise is the surprise, this rose cake is impossible to eat.

However, Yun Shu's words from yesterday were still ringing in her ears. She really didn't dare to eat this rose cake!
But then he thought that even His Majesty the Emperor had eaten it, and was full of praise for it. Could it be that this rose cake could really be confused by Yun Shu for salt and sugar?

It's a trivial matter to mix up salt and sugar. The most important thing is not to put rat poison in it by mistake. It's like arsenic, and it will kill you if you eat it.

The noble concubine swallowed her saliva in fright, and after thinking about it, she was relieved again, this rose cake was for the emperor, could it be that she, who came suddenly, could be poisoned to death?

To be disrespectful, the old emperor ate it first, and he was fine, so he would be fine if he ate it himself.

Thinking of this, the concubine's face looks much better, Xin Xin nodded: "Since it is the rose cake that His Majesty praised, the concubine must have a taste."

As she spoke, she reached for the shortbread on the plate.

It's just that a beautiful little hand picked up the rose cake earlier than her.

"Your Majesty, the method of my daughter's rose cake is different from that in the palace. My daughter prepared it all day yesterday. Your empress must try this short cake."

Yun Shu came to the imperial concubine with a smile and took the shortbread. He didn't say a word or do anything. He just delivered the cake to her. Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine's face changed drastically, and she took the rose in her hand. The cake fell to the ground.

"I don't want to eat your salty stuff!" The imperial concubine took two steps back eagerly, forgetting her usual coquettish tone: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this shortbread is not a good thing! Princess Ning'an is a good cook If you are careless, you will often confuse sugar with salt, and once put rat poison in it as sugar. If the rats hadn't snatched it first, I am afraid that their families would all be poisoned to death! Your Majesty, this thing is real. You can't eat it, the things made by Princess Ning'an are poisonous!"

The imperial concubine spoke earnestly, and Yun Shu, who had been rejected by her, was staring blankly at the rose cakes that fell into pieces on the ground. When she raised her head, there were faint drops of water in the corners of her eyes.

The old emperor saw it so clearly that his heart began to ache.

"Imperial concubine! You are so daring! The princess personally sent the flower cakes to you for a taste of her kindness. If you don't eat it, it's fine, but you still slander the princess, what crime should you deserve!"

The old emperor was really angry this time, and he stopped drinking the soup, and fell on the table, spilling all the soup inside.

The noble concubine was frightened, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, but still refused to let go: "Your Majesty, what the concubine said is true. These were all said to the concubine by the princess at the gate of the flower house yesterday. If your majesty doesn't believe it, It is absolutely possible to bring the concubine's maid for questioning."

"Your maid? Doesn't your maid listen to you? She will say what you tell her to say?!" The old emperor was obviously not stupid, and he knew a lot about these methods of the harem women.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is not slandering the princess, the concubine is just..."

Before the imperial concubine could finish speaking, Yun Shu, who had been silent all this time, finally responded. She saluted gracefully first, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister did indeed say those things to the imperial concubine at the gate of the conservatory yesterday. The imperial concubine did indeed Not lying."

The noble concubine finally smiled, feeling that all the dirty water on her body had been washed clean: "Look, Your Majesty, this concubine really didn't slander her, what the concubine said is true!"

The old emperor narrowed his eyes.

The old eunuch serving beside the emperor also shook his head secretly, even he could see that Princess Ning'an had something to say, but the imperial concubine couldn't see it, sure enough, women with pretty faces were fooled.

Yun Shu scoffed, and looked at the imperial concubine: "Mother, the things I told you yesterday were all mistakes I made when I was just starting to cook when I was a child. At that time, my father was captured by water bandits and didn't come back for more than half a year. , the mother is pregnant with the little brother, and her body is weak, and Xin'er is not as thin as a seven-year-old child."

The old emperor already knew these experiences, but they were all heard by the eunuchs. Now let the Lord tell it by himself, and it was said by a little girl, the old emperor felt even more miserable.

"It's all my fault. If it wasn't for helping me ascend the throne, your father wouldn't have been stolen by those two slaves." The old emperor's guilt and concern were not fake, Yun Shu smiled appreciatively laugh.

After exchanging greetings with the old emperor, Yun Shu looked at the noble concubine again: "It's hard for a minister to figure out sugar and salt when she first started cooking, but the minister has grown up so much and cooked for so long, is it still possible to divide the meals now?" Don't you know?"

The noble concubine was naturally unwilling, and pointed her red-painted nails: "It's a trivial matter. You even sprinkled rat poison in the rice as sugar, and you almost caused a big disaster because of it!"

Afraid of her sophistry, the imperial concubine even deliberately said: "Don't try to quibble, you said these things yourself, if you want to quibble, you will die without a place to die!"

"Presumptuous!" The old emperor blew his beard and stared angrily, and slapped the table: "What nonsense!"

The noble concubine shook her body, and even though she was extremely frightened, she still stiffened her neck and said, "Your Majesty, although my concubine's words are serious, it is the truth!"

puff!
Yun Shu laughed suddenly, turned to the old emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is right. I did do that. But, is it normal to have rat poison at home? Which farm doesn't have rat poison? I'm afraid even the palace has rat poison. Will there be too?"

The old eunuch standing aside nodded tactfully.

Yun Shu said again: "But this mouse, although it looks ugly, it is actually very smart, and it will definitely not eat rat poison if it is just given, so the servant girl mixed the rat poison with the leftover food. Could it be that because of this, the imperial concubine insisted that the food I cooked contained rat poison, which would kill His Majesty? This is a crime of regicide, even if you give me ten heads, or a hundred heads, I wouldn't have the guts! "

Ai Ai's tone of voice this time, combined with Yun Shu's pitiful demeanor at this time, is simply a frightened little beast, which made the old emperor feel very distressed.

"Ning An, I understand, don't listen to this crazy woman's nonsense!" The old emperor didn't even bother to look at the noble concubine, and said directly: "The noble concubine is disrespectful in front of the palace, and she is confined to the bedroom for a month, take it back!"

Grounded?a month?

The imperial concubine was dumbfounded, she quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, tears also came down, but she was also very beautiful when she cried, it was like living the idiom of pear blossoms with rain!
"Your Majesty, the concubine has misunderstood, it is really a misunderstanding, please forgive me this time! The concubine is also worried about your majesty's safety! Your majesty, the concubine really saw Princess Ning'an's nails just now There is something white on it, Chen Qie, Chen Qie thinks that thing is rat poison, Your Majesty, please read it for the sake of my loyalty, please forgive me!"

White stuff on your nails?
Yun Shu hurriedly looked at her nails, and suddenly said: "Oh! I really have them on my nails! Maybe it was the dough that stuck to it when I was making shortbread today. I was so anxious to send rose cakes to His Majesty that I didn't even notice I didn’t wash my nails clean! Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”

It's true that it wasn't cleaned, but it wasn't on the nails, but in the crevices of the nails. When she just gave the rose cake to the imperial concubine, she deliberately picked out the dough hidden in the crevices of the nails and put it on the nails.

It's not because of her clever calculations that she would meet the noble concubine in the palace today, but because she accidentally touched the hot pan when baking shortbread today.Although there were no blisters, in order not to touch her burned finger, Luo Qingyi deliberately didn't ask someone to clean up the dough inside that nail.

Just now, she endured the pain to give the rose cake to the imperial concubine, and she picked it out a little bit. The imperial concubine didn't want to see them, and she used fake sons to deceive the old prince before. Today, letting her go back and confine her for a month can be regarded as revenge for her grandfather.

The truth of the matter came to light, the imperial concubine had no choice but to let a few court ladies invite her out no matter how noisy she was.

The poor imperial concubine came here today full of expectations to please His Majesty. She thought she would finally succeed today, but she didn't expect that not only did she fail, but she also made His Majesty even more angry, and even involved herself in it.

Hey!
Yun Shu silently put a stick of fragrance for the noble concubine in her heart, hoping that her life this month would be more exciting and comfortable.

The most important thing in the palace is to step down on the high and step on the low. When the imperial concubine grounds her feet, there must be many people who take pleasure in other people's misfortune. Even if they dare not humiliate her face to face, there will always be a few jokes behind her back.

This is especially true for the faction of the third prince who is opposed to the second prince.

Of course, what Yun Shu did had nothing to do with Li Chu. She just wanted to punish the imperial concubine and vent her anger for her grandfather and father.

The old emperor liked rose cakes, so it was naturally another reward.Coupled with the concubine's slander, the old emperor felt extremely guilty towards Yun Shu, and the reward was multiplied several times.

Thinking of the first time he gave Yun Shu a reward, the old emperor couldn't help laughing.At that time, he was chased by Liu Panyi until he had no choice but to send a teahouse out.

Unexpectedly, how long has passed, and he took the initiative to reward this girl.

Well, this girl is really pleasing, she is really pleasing!
The Yunshu sisters got a lot of good things again, and they were smiling all the way home. Even Xiao Yunxin was not in a hurry to go back and eat her fresh meat crisps.

As soon as the two of them got home, Luluo came forward: "Miss, you are back! Just in time, Miss Baiman from the Bai family sent me a post."

Baiman?

After sending the red lantern back to Baiman last time, she hadn't seen this girl, and she didn't know what happened to this straightforward and slightly ruffian girl.

"I haven't seen her since she sent someone to give me two bracelets as a thank you gift. I didn't expect to receive her invitation today. It's really strange."

Yun Shu washed his hands and took the post. It turned out that he knew that she would leave the capital soon and wanted to get together with her.

It's just that this gathering place is a bit strange, it's actually a poetry club.

Running back and forth these days, Yun Shu is fairly familiar with restaurants, restaurants and jewelry shops in the capital, but as for the poetry club, she really doesn't know anything about it.

Lu Luo understood, and said with a smile: "Yuefeng Poetry Club is the largest poetry club in the capital, talented people and beauties in the capital often come here to have fun, even Ms. Feng, who is known as the most talented woman in the capital, often goes there too! "

Feng Ruoshi?Yun Shu hadn't seen her for several days.

"Forget it, maybe Miss Bai wants to take me to see what the poetry club in the capital is like, then let's go there tomorrow and have a look."
