However, Jin Xin miscalculated. When the soup was delivered, Concubine Yu happened to be inside, and the two of them were talking thoughtful words. Concubine Yu looked at the palace attendants coming in with the soup and said that Concubine De Gui asked Lianrong to send it. Concubine Jade smiled and said, "Why did Concubine De Gui bring soup at this time? The emperor just drank sweet soup. It is not suitable for him to drink this strong tonic soup now."
The palace man stood there, not knowing how to react.
The emperor glanced at the soup and said, "Just leave it alone. It's hot, so don't give it away in the future."
The palace man had no choice but to nod his head and went outside to tell Lianrong these words.
However, Concubine Jade stepped forward, opened the food box, and looked at the lotus seed soup inside, her smile faded. Concubine De Gui was using her own son to hope that the emperor would pity her.
Naturally, the emperor could not let the bowl of soup be seen, so he said, "Since the emperor doesn't want to drink this soup, let me give it to my concubine. I just want to have a taste."
Chu Sheng glanced at her helplessly, "It's just a bowl of soup, why do you care so much, just drink it if you want."
Concubine Yu immediately picked up the bowl of soup, pretended to take a sip, and immediately frowned, "It's a little bitter, so let's drink it."
It's slightly bitter but sweet, and it's a good soup to reduce the heat, but Concubine Jade doesn't like it.
Hearing this, the emperor frowned and looked over, "What kind of soup is it? It's bitter. I remember that the imperial concubine doesn't like bitter things. How could she let someone bring bitter soup?"
Seeing the emperor's curiosity, Concubine Yu immediately came over, sat down on the emperor, hooked her arms around his neck, slowly touched his face with her index finger, drew circles, then moved down, poking Chu Sheng's heart, she pursed her lips. He pursed his lips and looked a little dissatisfied, "The soup is not bitter, it's because I feel bitter in my heart."
Chu Sheng couldn't stand her teasing. He immediately smiled and held her waist, "What's wrong with you? I love you the most in this palace. I'll give you everything you want. Why are you still feeling bitter?"
Concubine Yu smiled and did not answer directly. Instead, she changed the subject and asked, "I heard that the emperor is going to marry General Gao? Which girl did he choose?"
When Chu Sheng heard this, he didn't answer. He helped her up, closed the memorial on the table, and said calmly, "Don't ask about these things."
Concubine Yu's face looked a little ugly, but she still refused to give in. "Why can't you ask, is this also a political matter?"
Facing her questioning, Chu Sheng's patience was limited, and he said, "He is still unmarried. In the final analysis, it is me who delayed his life-long events. This woman is naturally a good girl from a well-known family and will not treat her heroes badly."
When Chu Sheng said this, he looked at Concubine Yu. His tone seemed calm, but his face was calm and stern. Concubine Yu was smart and naturally knew that the emperor was displeased with her attitude.
Concubine Yu believed that she hid her feelings very well, but Chu Sheng was not a fool. Naturally, he could see that Concubine Yu's thoughts were not on her. When they were in the nunnery, the two of them didn't meet many times, and they were all in a hurry. I went to see her and never stayed overnight. Even if I wanted to stay, she would refuse.
At first, I thought it was because she had principles. During the days after entering the palace, she was cold and indifferent to him. Even though she was the emperor, she did not change her attitude. However, she was even more fascinated by this person and wanted to get into her heart.
But he didn't allow her to care about other men. He reused Gao Mingyao, and he didn't allow anyone to destroy their relationship as a courtier.
Concubine Jade understood that her attitude was too receptive, and immediately smiled and said, "I am just curious. As I said before, we grew up together in the palace. We are just curious. Don't be angry, Your Majesty."
After saying that, she took the initiative to step forward, put her arms around his neck, and gave him a sweet kiss. Taking such initiative was the first time she turned around. Naturally, she felt pity for the man who already had a desire to conquer, and she did not continue to delve into what had just happened.
The news about the soup being shelved came back to Jinxin, who frowned and listened to Lianrong's reply.
This Shen Yin is really against himself all the time.
When the emperor saw the bowl of soup, he would definitely come over to see Hong'er. He also wanted to take this opportunity to ease the relationship with the emperor.
Concubine Yu has cut off this opportunity now.
It doesn't matter, let's try another way.
As soon as the May Day is over, the hot summer begins. According to tradition, people go to the summer palace to stay for a while, and then drive back to the palace at the beginning of autumn.
In the early years after the emperor ascended the throne, it was also his first time to go there, so he started making arrangements early.
This matter should have been arranged by the queen, but the queen always claimed to be ill and did not take care of the matter. Concubine De Gui was taken away from the position of co-administrator of the Sixth Palace. There was no capable person in the palace to take over, and Concubine Yu was not in good health. , the power of co-counseling was actually put on hold, and the queen was asked to initiate this matter, and she also started to list the concubines who went to the summer palace, all of which were some of the more favored concubines.
Jin Xin is naturally on the list.
Counting the time, Jin Xin took Hong'er to the Jinming Pond in the garden to feed the fish. The emperor happened to be leaving for the Queen's Palace to discuss driving to the summer palace. Halfway through, he heard something coming from the pond. laughter.
He looked over there and saw Jin Xin hugging Hong'er and teasing her. Hong'er was made to laugh happily, but the scar on his face looked painful, and there was a scar on his lower lip. Chu Sheng then remembered that day The one who suffered the most pain was Hong'er, who immediately turned around and walked towards Jin Mingchi.
"Hong'er, come here, father, give me a hug." Chu Sheng walked up to him and stretched out his hand to the child.
When Hong'er saw Chu Sheng, he hesitated and did not open his hands. Instead, he looked at Jin Xin. After Jin Xin saluted, he stood up and put Hong'er into Chu Sheng's arms.
"The Emperor hasn't held Hong'er in his arms for several days. Hong'er doesn't even remember his father's arms." Jin Xin said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chu Sheng was also a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he hugged Hong'er, weighed it, and nodded, "Well, it's a little heavier, and it's very strong. He wears less, and it's easier to hold him."
Hong'er suddenly opened his hand, hugged Chu Sheng's arm, put his head on his shoulder, and found a comfortable position next to him, which made Chu Sheng's heart filled with fatherly love.
"How has Hong'er been eating recently? Does this injury affect his eating?"
"Of course it's affected. The scar on the face is fine. It doesn't hurt even if it's knocked down. This is the scar on the mouth. If the upper and lower lips touch, it will naturally hurt when you open your mouth to eat." Jin Xin said lightly.
"Those assassins have been killed, and they can be considered as revenge for Hong'er." Chu Sheng consoled him.
Jin Xin was silent. This was not the assassin's business. It's not that the emperor didn't know about it, he just didn't want to associate it with the Jade Concubine again.
Those assassins were imprisoned. Two of them died but did not survive the torture. The remaining two did nothing. Under heavy supervision, they were poisoned and killed. Naturally, nothing could be asked.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is asking you to come over. I have something happy to tell you." Manager Huang stepped forward to report.
"What happy event is it?" The queen's sense of presence is really low recently. She is completely casual and ignores everything. What happy event can she have to make her happy?
Manager Huang immediately smiled and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. It has been more than three months since the Empress was diagnosed with a happy pulse."
