I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

"Greetings, Queen!"

Su Minglang politely knelt down and saluted the woman in the seat of honor. "I am a little late, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"It's not late, it's not late. I just got up." The queen smiled casually and waved to Su Minglang to sit down.

"Thank you, Her Majesty, for your understanding." Su Minglang had a good first impression of the Queen. The woman in front of him was indeed the ruler of the six palaces and harems. "I wonder if Her Majesty has summoned me here because of something you want to tell me?"

"It's not a big deal," the queen smiled and waved for the maid to serve tea. "Come and try it. This is the new tea of ​​this year. My brother knows that I like this so he specially sent it to the palace."

"Thank you, Madam," Su Minglang returned the greeting respectfully, picked up the teacup and took a sip. She felt a light tea fragrance flowing between her lips and teeth. The slightly bitter tea soup was particularly enjoyable against the background of the faint tea fragrance. "It is indeed a good tea. After just one sip, I can feel the fragrance lingering on my lips and teeth."

"If Concubine Su likes it, I will have someone prepare some and send them to Linglong Palace."

"Thank you for your kindness, Madam. I am not a tea lover, so I will not waste your tea."

The two of them exchanged words for a while, and neither of them noticed any flaws in the other. Instead, Su Minglang's calm look won the Queen's favor.

"Let's stop talking nonsense. I don't want to keep Zhaoyi for too long, so that His Majesty won't come down from court to look for her but won't see her." The Queen took the tea in her mouth calmly. "The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner will be held in a while, which is not a big deal. But since His Majesty wants you to advocate for blessings with me, I thought about asking Zhaoyi Su for her ideas. We can also do something a bit more interesting this year. The palace sisters must be tired of watching the programs in previous years."

"The palace should have its own rules for the dinner, so I can't change it. But if Your Majesty wants some new ideas, it's not difficult." Su Minglang thought for a moment and called over Xiaoye, who was standing beside her. "Xiaoye, bring me the booklet you got."

"Booklet?" Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, then took out a small package wrapped in brown paper from his arms, "Master, is this what you are talking about?"

"Yes," Su Minglang took the brown paper package and gently opened it. There were dried flower petals sandwiched between the rice paper pages in the package. Each page was different. Su Minglang presented the booklet to the queen and said, "Your Majesty, this maidservant beside me likes to play with flowers and plants. She sandwiched these flowers and leaves that are about to wither between the rice paper. The paper pages will absorb the remaining moisture in the petals, and the dried petals will be easier to preserve."

"Mid-Autumn Festival is nothing more than watching the moon and appreciating chrysanthemums. In the past, we would invite all the sisters in the palace to gather together, drink wine and appreciate the moon, accompanied by singing and dancing, or music. It may seem lively at first, but it will become boring after a while. It is better to add some color to it."

"Mid-Autumn Festival is a good time to appreciate chrysanthemums. Why not make some chrysanthemum bookmarks? They are exquisite and beautiful with a faint floral fragrance. The advantage is that the quantity is small. In order to stand out, the sisters will naturally have more motivation to prepare programs."

"Before I entered the palace, I heard merchants talking about the fillings of mooncakes. They said that the fillings in the north and south are different. The sisters in the palace also have different origins. Why not ask the imperial kitchen to combine the differences between the north and the south to make more different styles? What do you think?"

The queen's eyes flashed with appreciation when she heard this, and she nodded affirmatively, "Yes, Su Zhaoyi has put in a lot of effort, and these are indeed some interesting ideas."

"Linglang, did you remember this?"

A maidservant standing beside the queen quickly responded, "I've made note of that, but I still have some questions about the flower leaves that I would like to ask the younger sister next to Zhaoyi."

When Xiao Ye heard someone mention her, she quickly stood up and nodded, "No, no problem!"

Su Minglang stroked her calmly, indicating that she need not worry.

Although this girl is very polite, she has not seen much of the world after all. It is normal for her to be nervous when turning theory into practice.

"My Lady, these are the only methods I can think of. Do you have any questions?"

"I don't have any problem with this. These ideas are quite novel, but I still need Su Zhaoyi's guidance."

"I dare not," Su Minglang bowed her head hurriedly, "If your Majesty has any orders, I will do it."

"Well," the Queen Mother pondered for a moment, "Su Zhaoyi, since it is a gathering in the palace, the sisters who are temporarily confined to their homes can also come out for a small gathering according to the usual practice. When Concubine Lu comes, you..."

"Don't worry, Madam." Su Minglang stood up and knelt, "I will never take the initiative to provoke Lady Lu. If, if she can really win the favor of Your Majesty, it is her ability. I will not say anything else."

The queen nodded in satisfaction and said soothingly, "Su Zhaoyi doesn't have to be sad. Since she has a bad moral character, I will not let her act arrogantly."

Su Minglang nodded. When she heard Lady Lu's name, she couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. After all, the safflower medicine had damaged her body. How could the pain dissipate so easily?

Su Minglang shook her head slightly, trying to dispel the memories of crying from her mind, and finally thought of the main purpose of this trip today, "Your Majesty, I have some incense plates here, they smell good, I wonder if I can use them at the moon-viewing party."

"It's whatever you want with such a small matter!" Perhaps the Queen also thought of the huge quarrel between Su Minglang and Concubine Lu at that time, and her eyes turned loving when she looked at her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Minglang stood up to express her gratitude. The purpose of her visit today had been achieved. She was about to say goodbye when she heard the Queen trying to keep her.

"It's almost noon, why don't you stay and have dinner with me?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness!" Su Minglang agreed without hesitation. She had been trying every means to get close to the Queen to find out the poison in her body. Now that such a good opportunity was in front of her, how could she not agree?

What's more, she had a chance to taste the delicious food made by the small kitchen in the Queen's Palace in her previous life!

Su Minglang stayed with a smile on his face. Xiao Ye rolled her eyes at the side, but couldn't say anything because of the Queen's presence.

"Your Majesty," Su Minglang said, "Is there anything else I should pay attention to regarding the blessing? If there is anything I can do, please feel free to tell me."

The Empress shook her head and placed a plate of shrimp in front of her. "Don't talk about official business while eating. Zhaoyi, please try my specialty. However, I always like light food, so I'm afraid I'll let you down."

"How could that be!" Su Minglang waved his hands hurriedly, picked up a piece of shrimp with chopsticks and was about to put it into his mouth.

The Queen couldn't help but laugh when she saw this, "Zhaoyi Su is really generous."
