Queen's favorite

The imperial concubine who was also seated above looked at the mess below and frowned slightly, with unpredictable emotions in her eyes, making it impossible to guess what was going on in his heart.

His demeanor remained the same as before.

Neither became panic because of Zhong Liyu's sudden attack, nor did he show a gentle gesture like Qi Changle did.

Instead, he looked down with mixed emotions, but didn't say a word.

Qi Changle withdrew his gaze and pinched his fingertips.

Although she also knew that now was not the time to pay attention to the imperial concubine, but...Qi Changle just couldn't restrain her curiosity.

She wanted to know how the imperial concubine would deal with this matter.

However, to Qi Changle's surprise, the other party didn't want to deal with it at all.

After Zhong Liyu sat down again, Su Muhe frowned and rubbed his forehead, sighed, "You...forget it." He tilted his head to call someone, pulled Ren Che down, and then told the palace servants Find an imperial doctor to show him.

"Whether he can be saved or not depends on his life." The tone was light, making the final choice for Ren Qiao's fate.

Zhong Liyu leaned there, raised his eyelids when he heard the words, curled the corners of his lips without any emotion, and did not stop the imperial concubine's decision.She bent her eyes: "Okay, give him a good treatment. If he can survive, I'm kind of looking forward to what expression he will show when he sees me again."

Seeing her bad behavior, Su Muhe sighed helplessly, but did not comment any more, but glanced at the few newcomers who were still kneeling on the ground trembling, "Your Majesty, will you continue today?"

"No." Zhong Liyu said, "They are very boring."

After all, her eyes finally swept over those concubines who had been in the palace for a year or two, with a probing smile, as if she wanted to see who among these people could attract her attention again.

However, no one dared to look back, all of them lowered their heads deeply, acting like a quail, and only pretending to be unknown.

Although being timid is useless sometimes, it is also a good protection in front of Zhong Liyu.

At this point, the whole palace audience is considered to be over.The first important moment of entering the palace unexpectedly met Zhong Liyu. This day must have left a lot of shadow in the hearts of those new concubines entering the palace.

But Qi Changle was not included.

After all, she already knew it very well, didn't she?

It's more than clear that in the future, this will be her stepping stone.

Qi Changle lowered his eyes, covering the coldness in his eyes.

On the way back, a person approached quietly.

After Qi Changle noticed it, he turned his head and looked over. He was the first person in the hall who was called and then let off by Zhong Liyu.

Because of being too timid, Zhong Liyu quickly lost interest, so he was unharmed.But...she should still be terribly scared.

Su Xi said softly: "My lord, the King of Yichun Palace is always here."

Qi Changle didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but he had no choice but to walk beside her, so she couldn't ignore it, so she turned her head and asked, "What's the matter, sister?"

The man was startled, bit his lip lightly, and then came over and saluted: "Your elder sister is well."

Qi Changle was not interested in talking to others, so she glanced at Wang Changzai's still pale expression, and comforted her in a harmonious voice: "Your sister's complexion doesn't look well, go back and ask the imperial doctor to prescribe a tranquilizer, let's have a good rest." .”

Hearing Qi Changle's concern, her eyes turned red, and she was so moved that she almost shed tears.

Qi Changle: ...

To her, this kind of polite words were almost casual, without any trace of sincerity in them. Who would have thought that people would be moved to tears?

Qi Changle didn't know what to say for a while.

But fortunately, Wang Changzai quickly calmed down his emotions, but still followed Qi Changle step by step, and then said softly: "Just now in the hall, I, I was frightened..."

Qi Changle was silent for a moment, then curved his lips and smiled at her, "It's okay, don't worry, Your Majesty..."

She stopped.

Originally according to her conventional speech, what Qi Changle wanted to comfort next was: Don't worry that His Majesty is not such a person who gets angry at will.

But before she could say anything, she realized that Zhong Liyu was that kind of person.

So Qi Changle coughed lightly, and changed the subject, "Is there a reason why my sister is looking for me?"

Fortunately, Wang Changzai didn't mind what she had just said, but nodded slightly, looked at Qi Changle cautiously, and then whispered: "I'm just, a little curious, why is my sister not afraid of Your Majesty at all?"

Qi Changle smiled with his eyes bent, with tender emotions in his eyes, "I am pleased with Your Majesty, so how can I be afraid of her?"

As if she did not expect to get such an answer, Wang Changzai opened her eyes wide in astonishment, and even abandoned her fear and caution for a while, and she unconsciously sped up her speech by two points, "But, but that is Your Majesty the Queen. ah?"

After a pause, she couldn't help but add: "Your Majesty, she is... such, such a person?"

Wang Changzai bit his lip, very puzzled.

Qi Changle naturally knows better than her, but she doesn't have to, and doesn't have the time to slowly explain and coax a person who doesn't seem to help her, so she just bends her lips gently: "Even so, so what? See the bad side of His Majesty, but I don't."

Wang Chang asked in doubt: "Which side of His Majesty is that sister seeing?"

Qi Changle didn't want to deal with her, and was a little impatient in his heart, but he still had a gentle and kind appearance on the surface.

"Ah... which side is it?" She blinked, "Keep it secret." Qi Changle smiled, raised a finger to his lips, and looked at her bright eyes. "After all, I don't want other people to discover His Majesty's merits and then steal His Majesty from me."

Wang Changzai paused and opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything.

In fact, she really wanted to say, don't worry, no one would dare to snatch His Majesty's.Because no one dared to approach her at all.

But in the end, Wang Changzai still didn't say such unpleasant words, but nodded silently.

Wang Changzai still did not leave, but accompanied Qi Changle all the way, and finally separated at the fork.

But she kept getting close to Qi Changle along the way, which made her feel something.

Wang Changzai...wants to join her?

If Qi Changle didn't feel wrong.

In the harem, following high positions, taking refuge in favored concubines, and dividing forces are all normal things, but that is only limited to normal harems, I never thought... there will be such things in the harem of female monarchs today?

Qi Changle smiled playfully.

As for the help... we still have to wait.

She is not what kind of people will be included in the income.

After the audience with the whole palace was over, Qi Changle concentrated on continuing to peel the lotus seeds.

In fact, she has peeled enough lotus seeds in the past two days, but first, she needs to prepare enough lotus seeds in case she fails to cook, and second, the more she peels, the more obvious the "marks" will be, isn't it?

Su Xi stood aside, watching Qi Changle peeling the lotus seeds patiently, a little puzzled. "My lord has peeled so many lotus seeds, it must be enough."

Qi Changle just smiled: "I'm not good at cooking, and I'm afraid of making a mess, so it's better to prepare more."

Su Xi was surprised: "Master...do you want to cook by yourself?"

"Otherwise?" Qi Changle asked back. "It's just a lotus seed soup. If Your Majesty wants to eat it, the Imperial Dining Room will prepare it at any time. The craftsmanship is a thousand times better than mine. Why do I have to make it myself?"

"Isn't what I'm doing is this 'handmade' intention?" She bent her eyes and smiled, with sincerity and cunning.

Su Xi hid her slightly surprised expression, and just knelt to show that she understood.

When the masters are doing things, she doesn't need to say much, she just needs to follow silently.

Not to mention, their master may... have a bright future.

Qi Changle peeled the lotus seeds with downcast eyes, looking meticulously, but the movements of her hands were not careful, and then, she only felt a tingling pain at the fingertips, and saw that a piece of transparent and moist nail was broken.

Fortunately, it's not all turned out...

Qi Changle frowned slightly, looking down at his fingers.

The slender white fingertips of the ten fingers were stained with some stains at this moment; the onion-like nails that should have been all ten fingers were suddenly missing at this moment.

Life and death destroyed the original beauty.

Su Xi was a little surprised and worried, "Master, your hand?"

Instead, Qi Changle raised the corners of his lips, looked at it as if admiring, and then comforted her: "It's okay, I didn't hurt my fingers, the broken nails can be trimmed when the time comes."

Being comforted by her like this, Su Xi couldn't say anything more, but said rather regretfully: "It's a pity about your beautiful nails."

Qi Changle rolled his eyes.

It's a pity.

It hurts.

After preparing the lotus seeds, it is time to find a way to make lotus seed soup.

Jinle Palace does not have a small kitchen, so you still have to go to the Imperial Dining Room to make food.

If the concubines in the harem want to go to the imperial dining room to order some food, it is okay, but if they want to requisition the imperial dining room... I don't know if it is feasible.

Originally, it was not feasible.After all, there has never been a precedent before, but when the people in the imperial dining room saw that the person who came was Qi Guiren, they all softened a little.

After all, they have all heard about the deeds of this nobleman Qi. To be able to get along so well in front of the female monarch, there must be her means.

Even if there is no means, there is still face.They have to sell this face.

So the servant in charge of the imperial dining room followed Qi Changle, and said with a smile: "Of course it is possible, do you think we need to help you?"

Naturally, he had a reason for asking this question.

After all, which of these women in the harem is not the most pampered at home?How could it be possible to really understand the matter of holding the spoon?

It is said that they are making food with their own hands, but in fact it is just standing by and talking, and in the end they still have to do it.He has seen a lot and he knows.

However, to his surprise, this nobleman Qi rejected his proposal with a gentle attitude.

Qi Changle naturally knew what he was thinking, and said with a crooked smile, "Don't bother me, don't worry, I can do it."

After all, she is not the first lady who grew up spoiled in a honey jar.

Back then, she did nothing to gain face in front of the old lady.

Just hold the spoon.

Qi Changle lowered his eyes and smiled.

If such a simple thing can't be done well, why should she fight for the favor of the queen?
