This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 154: Dregs Vinegar Hotpot

"It's not long since I had breakfast, and you're already asleep. You're really getting lazier."

The emperor just stood at the door and glanced in the direction of Sui Yuxuan's bedroom.

Ever since Huanbi was humiliated at the New Year's Eve banquet in the Old Summer Palace, she no longer dared to show off in front of the emperor.

That day, she wore the floating brocade and was scolded by Zhen Huan when she came back.

Zhen Huan asked her to dress more modestly, but she wore such a high-profile outfit to the banquet.

If it weren't for Concubine Hua's reminder, Zhen Huan would not have known that she would become estranged from An Lingrong and her sister because of a piece of clothing.

It was actually Zhen Huan's own fault, so don't blame An Lingrong for being stingy.

The floating brocade was more than enough for a proper master to wear, but because he knew Huanbi's identity, he indulged her too much.

This caused Huanbi to have thoughts that she shouldn't have, and even Jinxi could see the clues of her behavior.

Thinking about the incident when Princess Wen Yi had a high fever, it was clearly her who took the cassava flour from the imperial kitchen on her own initiative. If Concubine Hua had not sent some to every palace and found out the truth, I would have been dragged into that mess.

But this girl hasn't done anything out of the ordinary except for the actions she took earlier. Let's just wait and see.

After all, I still have to consider my father's face.

"I'll go and wake the young lady up." Huanbi was very disappointed. Even when the emperor was looking at her elder sister's empty room, he didn't even look at her. What's the point of her being somewhat similar to her elder sister?

"No need, since she is asleep, I will come later."

Yongzheng was really extremely indulgent towards Zhen Huan.

It's strange to say, since returning to the palace, Zhen Huan has often felt sleepy. Often, she wouldn't be awake for long before she said she was sleepy and wanted to go to bed.

Although it is autumn now and the weather is cooler, it is normal to like to sleep in, but no one is so sleepy as this.

The emperor left Suiyuxuan and walked towards Yikun Palace.

Now everyone in the harem is in harmony, but he always feels that these women in the harem are somewhat alienated from him.

This was true for Concubine Hua, Meizhuang, and Wanwan. Even the usually docile An Lingrong often felt overwhelmed when serving her.

But when he summoned Lipin to his palace, he felt that she was too flattering and always used her beauty to serve him. Yongzheng also felt a little spiritually deficient.

As soon as he reached the door of Yiku Palace, Yongzheng heard laughter coming from the inner room.

This is something rare to see in Concubine Hua's palace.

In the past, Concubine Hua always waited for me in Yiku Palace. Now, even if I am not there, Concubine Hua has her own fun.

It turned out that it was Concubine Xin who brought Linglong to have fun with Concubine Hua, and also Concubine Chun who seemed to have never grown up.

Chun Changzai was having a lot of fun chasing Linglong around the yard.

Both of them were holding osmanthus branches in their hands. It was late autumn, the time when osmanthus flowers were in full bloom. The fragrance of osmanthus in Yikun Palace was particularly strong, even covering up the fragrance of Huanyi.

Hua Fei and Xin Chang were sitting on stone benches around a round table with several plates of snacks in front of them. It was obvious that a lot of snacks had been consumed, including persimmon cakes, chestnuts, candied fruits, melon seeds, etc.

I haven't seen Xin Changzai for a long time, and I didn't realize before that she is actually a foodie.

That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have confined myself to my room because of the purslane incident.

If you show your preferences to others, it will be easy for them to find fault with you.

As an emperor, Yongzheng grasped this point very well.

But how long has it been since I last enjoyed eating, drinking and having fun like this?

"Empress Hua, my father sent someone to bring me some local special sauce from Qiongzhou. It is said that the sauce is very delicious when used to make pot. I just gave Lingzhi the sauce and the recipe. We will be able to enjoy it later."

Xin Chang was craving for it as she talked about it. She secretly tasted the sauce herself. It was sour, sweet and slightly spicy, and very delicious.

Make it into a hot pot base, and blanch some of Linglong’s and my favorite mushrooms. The delicious taste makes Xinchang drool just thinking about it.

Hua Fei was just about to say something to tease Xin Changzai, saying that she only cared about food and not about punishment, when she looked up and saw the Emperor walking in with his hands behind his back.

I was a little surprised. Why did the emperor come to Yikun Palace for no reason?

"Good luck to the Emperor." Concubine Hua stood up and saluted without any hesitation.

Xin Changzai also came back to her senses from her imagination of delicious food and followed Hua Fei in paying her respects.

Chun Changzai and Linglong also stopped in their tracks, but their smiles were still there.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

"Linglong pays respect to the Emperor."

"Get up, both of you. You two should have some fun. Don't be so reserved just because I came in."

The emperor regretted that he had suddenly come in and disrupted the peace, but shouldn't his concubines always be around him? !

Seeing that they could live so happily without him, the emperor felt a little unbalanced.

"Father, Grandfather has brought some delicious food to Linglong from outside the palace. Father, please eat with Linglong later."

Linglong stopped talking about the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken" that she and Chun Chang were playing. It was so rare for the emperor to see him, so Linglong seized the opportunity, ran over and threw herself into the emperor's lap.

My daughter is like a caring little cotton-padded jacket, more caring than any other woman in the palace.

"Oh? I wonder what good things Lord Lu sent from Qiongzhou that made you two wait so eagerly."

"Your Majesty, these are just some local specialties made by the local people of Qiongzhou. If Your Majesty has nothing to do at noon, why not stay and taste them?" Chang Xin felt a little distressed when she saw Linglong's longing for fatherly love.

No matter how much Hua Fei and he loved Linglong, there were still many things that could not be replaced for Linglong.

Now that there is an opportunity, it would be good for Linglong to get closer to her father.

"Yes, Concubine Xin is talking about the sauce and my mouth is watering. Your Majesty, please dine with us." Concubine Hua added.

The two women in front of him sounded like they cared about him a lot, and the emperor felt a subtle sense of balance in his heart.

Which man doesn’t like his woman to spend a lot of time and effort on him?

Hua Fei: The Queen has spent so much time thinking about you, why don’t you go find her?

"In that case, I will stay and try it."

Chun Chang was a greedy and playful person. After hearing this, she smiled and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I have just gone to the kitchen to secretly drink the soup base of the dregs vinegar. It tastes delicious."

"It seems that Concubine Chun has grown a lot taller." Yongzheng focused his small eyes on Fang Chunyi.

"Your Majesty, you forgot. After the New Year, I will be seventeen."

The emperor looked at Chun Changzai's round little face with a smile.

Concubine Hua ate the sugar-frosted red persimmon in her hand in silence.

Concubine Hua and Concubine Xin: There is someone who can share the firepower tonight.
