The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

"Your Majesty?" Nanxiang felt a strong sense of security as she was caressed by the warm big hands.

She also reached out and hugged Gu Junshen.

I have to say that Gu Junshen has maintained a very good figure. When Nan Xiang hugged his waist, he looked very slender and the muscles on his back were also very tight.

"Let me hug you. You've worked hard during this period."

Gu Junshen spoke in a powerful tone, with an air of arrogance that brooked no rejection.

Nan Xiang stopped talking after hearing this, and just listened quietly to the beating sound of Gu Junshen's heart.

After a long time, Nanxiang sat in Gu Junshen's arms and gently leaned her head on Gu Junshen's chest.

The hot breath coming from Gu Junshen's chest made Nan Xiang's cheeks blush without her noticing.

Then she said in a gentle tone, "Your Majesty! Can I ask you for a favor?"

"What's the matter? Didn't you just ask for something today?" Gu Junshen asked with a smile, curling his lips slightly.

"Your Majesty! It's just a small request. I just want something." Nanxiang said with some shyness.

Although she had just requested from Gu Junshen not to pay her respects, this request was now necessary.

"Tell me what's going on."

"I want some green bamboo." Nanxiang said softly, with the words of explanation already prepared in her mind.

If she wanted to distill alcohol, she would need something like a pipe.

This kind of thing was simply impossible to obtain in ancient times, so only bamboo could serve as a substitute.

The first thing that came to her mind was the green bamboo in the imperial garden.

But she remembered that the green bamboo was extremely slender and smooth on the outside, and it must have formed a membrane inside. It had been grown by the pond in the Imperial Garden for so many years, so it was perfect for making catheters.

However, this green bamboo belongs to the Imperial Garden and Gu Junshen. If she uses it without permission, it would be against the rules.

Now I have no choice but to tell Gu Junshen.

If he discovered the method of alcohol purification, she could just lie and say that she had seen it in the travel notes of the characters, and Gu Junshen would not have too much doubt.

Maybe he could even get a promotion at that time. After all, if Gu Junshen knew the important role of alcohol, he would be able to help many injured soldiers suffer fewer injuries.

"What does my beloved wife want this green bamboo for?" Gu Junshen looked down at Nan Xiang who was leaning in his arms with some surprise.

"I want Kikuhei to make something for the future prince to play with." Nan Xiang said, burying her head in Gu Junshen's chest, pretending to be extremely shy.

Gu Junshen felt an itch in her chest, and then a light plum blossom scent rushed into her nose, and her heart suddenly trembled.

Hearing Nan Xiang's words, he narrowed his eyes slightly and let out a few low laughs from his throat.

"My beloved, are you shy?"

"Your Majesty!" Nan Xiang said shyly.

"Okay! I agree to your request. But if you want to make something for the emperor's son to play with, just ask the office to do it. Why do you need to do it yourself?"

"Your Majesty, you don't understand. This is my intention. I have never been good at needlework, but I have some experience in making small toys." Nanxiang explained softly.

"In that case, I will ask some eunuchs to cut some green bamboos for you tomorrow. But my beloved, remember not to hurt yourself!" Gu Junshen nodded lightly when he heard this, and he believed more in Nan Xiang's approach.

He had been in Wangyueju for such a long time, but he had never seen Nanxiang do needlework or other things that women are good at. So this was the reason.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration!"

"Actually, my beloved concubine is not good at needlework, but she is very good at painting. The painting of the goldfish leaping over the bamboo last time amazed me for a long time."

"I'm just..." Before Nan Xiang could finish her sentence, Gu Junshen lowered his head and kissed her deeply.

His heart suddenly started beating like a drum, and his breathing became rapid...

……

The next day, when Nanxiang woke up, Kikuhei beside her was smiling lightly.

"Kikuhei, what are you laughing at?" Nanxiang looked at Kikuhei who was holding a wooden basin beside her and asked with some confusion.

"Your Highness! This is the first time I've seen you being so gentle to the Emperor. You seem like a completely different person."

"I haven't become a different person. I just want to be nicer to his father for the sake of the child." Nanxiang chuckled silently.

If she hadn't wanted to ask Gu Junshen for something, she wouldn't have been so shy. Unexpectedly, she was heard by the people waiting for instructions outside.

When Nanxiang thought about it, a hint of shyness suddenly flashed across her face.

But as the emperor's concubine, isn't it normal for her to treat him better?

After a simple wash, Nanxiang had her breakfast.

Kikuhei made a nutritious minced meat porridge for Nanxiang, with an egg custard.

At noon, Nan Xiang had just finished her breakfast and came out of the inner hall to take a walk to digest her food. Unexpectedly, Liu Sheng came to Wangyueju with several eunuchs carrying some green bamboos.

"The emperor is really efficient. I just mentioned it last night, and Qingzhu delivered it to her the next day."

When the eunuchs and palace maids in Wangyueju saw this, they were filled with confusion.

Liu Sheng came to Nan Xiang and bowed, saying, "Your servant greets the Concubine Shu! The emperor ordered us to deliver the green bamboo you needed."

Liu Sheng also didn't expect that the emperor would actually cut down the emperor's favorite green bamboo in the imperial garden just to satisfy the request of Concubine Shu.

"Thank you for your help, Eunuch Liu." Nanxiang smiled indifferently and gave Kikuhei a look.

As the leading eunuch, Liu Sheng was handed a slightly larger purse by Ju Ping, and Ju Ping divided some silver among the remaining eunuchs.

"My queen would like to invite all the father-in-laws to have a cup of tea!" Juping said leisurely.

"Thank you very much, Her Majesty Shufei!" Liu Sheng and the eunuchs behind him replied respectfully.

After Liu Sheng and the eunuchs left, Ju Ping came to Nan Xiang and asked softly, "Madam! What do you want this green bamboo for?"

"Secret! Please ask Xiao Benzi to bring the knife over for me." Nanxiang smiled and said in a mysterious tone.

"Oh! I obey your command!"

Then Kikuhei went to the kitchen and asked Xiaobenzi to bring a small machete.

"Empress! What do you want me to do?" Xiao Benzi asked, bowing and holding a knife.

"You divide this green bamboo into three sections!"

Nan Xiang squatted down and pointed at the green bamboo under her feet which was thicker than a water pipe.

"Yes!"

"The rest of you can do whatever you need to do. Don't gather here." Nan Xiang scolded the palace maids and eunuchs who had gathered around.

There might be undercover agents among these palace maids and eunuchs. If they are not reprimanded, they will forget their duties.

Nanxiang thought that in the future, this area in the kitchen would be surrounded and no one would be allowed to get close.

Then Nanxiang ordered Xiaobenzi and Kikuhei to carry Qingzhu to the front yard where the kitchen was located.

"From now on, no one except you guys can get close to the kitchen. If anyone is found getting close, catch him immediately." Nan Xiang said in a serious tone.

Although the two were somewhat puzzled by Nanxiang's request, they tactfully did not ask and started to follow Nanxiang's instructions.
