Gao Cheng thought to himself that the Emperor was indeed suspicious of the Empress.

As soon as he returned to Changmen Palace, the emperor ordered him to go to the imperial kitchen and the Imperial Hospital to get the queen's recent records.

Under the candlelight, Xie Yu's face was hidden in semi-darkness.

When he arrived at Zhonghe Palace today and saw the dinner table, he became suspicious.

The dinner was all his favorite food. He suspected that Lin Junxue had anticipated that he would go to Zhonghe Palace to ask for punishment, so she prepared all his favorite food with ulterior motives.

If this is the case, then he has to re-examine Lin Junxue's intentions.

This is Xie Yu, suspicious and unfeeling by nature. Lin Junxue had guessed it long ago.

Of course, Xie Yu would never know that she had already made preparations. She was not afraid at all that he would ask Gao Cheng to investigate. Instead, she was afraid that he would not investigate.

As for the meal, Lin Junxue also wanted to thank the love-brained original owner, who really prepared Xie Yu's favorite dishes every day just to wait for him to come.

Unfortunately, Xie Yu never knew about this good intention.

Lin Junxue took advantage of this and achieved her desired goal, completely eliminating Xie Yu's suspicion and making him realize her sincerity.

Now, after Xie Yu read the daily dining records of the Zhonghe Palace in the imperial kitchen, he realized that he was overthinking.

The daily meals at Zhonghe Palace actually include his favorite dishes

At this time, Xie Yu's mind flashed back to Lin Junxue's heartbreaking crying face today, and his expression became much gentler than before.

How much does Lin Junxue love him? That's why she even prepares his favorite dishes every day. Is my suspicion too much?

As for the records of the Imperial Hospital, Xie Yu also read them. It was indeed as Lin Junxue said. She was suffering from a deficiency of Qi and blood and needed some time to recover.

The two records from the Imperial Kitchen and the Imperial Hospital completely dispelled Xie Yu's suspicions.

Xie Yu put down the record and looked at Gao Cheng. He suddenly sighed, "Since the Queen entered the palace, she has prepared my favorite food every day. She really puts a lot of thought into it."

Gao Cheng saw Xie Yu's thoughtful expression and remembered the snuff bottle he had received two days ago.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is truly devoted to you."

Gao Chengli immediately followed Xie Yu's words and continued

Xie Yu paused, waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow, go pick some good things and deliver them to Zhonghe Palace in person."

Gao Cheng's eyes flashed, and he leaned forward and said, "Yes, I obey your order."

Nagato Palace

Gao Cheng stepped out and closed the door, and the young scholar came up to him immediately.

He has been with Gao Cheng for many years and is quite liked by Gao Cheng.

"Eunuch, today, I will be on guard, you should go and have a rest."

Gao Cheng raised his whisk, looked at the young scholar, and nodded.

"Tomorrow, you will go with me to the Imperial Household Department, pick up some items, and then follow me to deliver them to the Empress."

The young genius was stunned. The Emperor gave something as a reward to the Empress?

No wonder he was surprised, this is not a common thing.

In addition to the daily tribute from other countries, the emperor usually gave the most to Concubine Xi.

Other concubines also have it, but the queen is really rare.

The young scholar whispered, "Eunuch, I can go by myself. Why bother you to go to Zhonghe Palace in person for such a small matter?"

Gao Cheng glanced at the flattering young scholar, frowned, and angrily scolded him, "You dog slave, you don't know your own identity."

The young genius was so frightened that his face changed.

He simply didn't understand why Eunuch Gao suddenly became so angry?

After all, he was the one he brought up, so Gao Cheng still gave him some advice.

"From now on, remember, you must do all the work for Zhonghe Palace well and never be careless."

After hearing this, the young scholar said nice things and nodded repeatedly, but in fact he didn't take it seriously at all.

This is not an errand for Xian'ya Palace. Does my father-in-law need to take it so seriously?

Xiao Fengzi, who was standing by, silently remembered Gao Cheng's words.

Morning of the second day

Last night, I’m afraid no concubine in the entire harem had an easy time.

Liu Cairen was stripped of her position overnight and was banished to the cold palace without even seeing the emperor.

This resulted in an unusual silence when the concubines came to pay their respects today.

After what happened yesterday, these concubines had their own plans in mind. They also knew that Lin Junxue was not easy to mess with, so they naturally did not dare to cause any more trouble.

After all, no one wants to end up like Liu Cairen yesterday.

Chen Xier sat in the first seat on the left as usual, and the other concubines sat in the same positions as yesterday.

On weekdays, these concubines can still chat for a few words, but today, they are all very quiet.

Even Sun Manrou, who has always been the most flamboyant, was sitting there today, slightly distracted, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Chen Mi glanced at Chen Xier, then looked away.

Last night, Chen Xier was definitely the one who had the hardest time among all the concubines.

It is estimated that Concubine Xi would never have imagined that the Emperor did not punish the Queen, but instead sent Concubine Liu directly to the cold palace.

With a cry of "The Queen is here"

The concubines stood up from their seats and greeted the Queen with "May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."

Lin Junxue wore a blue waist-length dress with a long skirt, a flowing moon-like bun on her head, a phoenix-shaped gold hairpin with red jade beads, and a pair of silk double-buckle bracelets on her hands.

He came in a graceful manner, with a kind of arrogant aura.

The concubines still felt a little uncomfortable looking at Lin Junxue today.

After all, before, the Queen's dress was extremely simple.

Lin Junxue, with the help of Qiao Xin, walked to the main seat, sat down, and looked at the concubines who came to pay their respects. "Everyone, stand up."

The concubines, led by Chen Xier, stood up and returned to their seats.

Lin Junxue took the tea from Guyu's hand, looked at the concubines who were a little reserved below, and took a sip of tea slowly.

Lin Junxue didn't speak, so the other concubines didn't dare to speak first.

Chen Xier looked at Lin Junxue sitting in the main seat, especially the golden hairpin on her head, and couldn't help feeling jealous.

She was the most favored concubine in the harem, and the emperor rewarded her with so many good things, but it was still not as good as Lin Junxue's private collection.

Not only because of the Lin family's first-class general's mansion, but also because Lin Junxue is lucky, she has a sister-in-law who comes from a business family with a deep foundation.

Back then, when Lin Junxue married into the prince's mansion, she had a dowry of ten miles and the entire main street was her dowry.

So even if the emperor had never rewarded Lin Junxue with any good things since she entered the palace, the two things that Lin Junxue took out from her private storehouse were enough to show off.

Lin Junxue saw the flash of jealousy in Chen Xier's eyes clearly out of the corner of her eye. She curled her lips and suddenly looked at Chen Xier.

Chen Xier immediately retracted her previous expression and said gently, "Sister, why are you looking at me like this?"

The concubines looked over, and Lin Junxue smiled faintly, "Sister, you look very beautiful today."

Lin Junxue is not stingy with her praise

After all, it's just praising someone, you don't have to lose a piece of meat, and you can see wonderful expressions, how interesting

Lin Junxue admitted that she had a bit of a bad taste.

As expected, Chen Xier's face froze.

She didn't believe that Lin Junxue would sincerely praise her beauty. The other concubines were equally confused.

Why did the Queen praise Concubine Xi for her beauty right away? It's really confusing.

Could it be that he really reconciled with Concubine Xi?

Lin Junxue's simple compliment caused all kinds of suspicions in the concubines' hearts.
