Phi-Fic Chapter 161 The Emperor's Concern
Chapter 161 The Emperor's Concern
After Zhen Huan left the palace, the emperor did not enter the harem for a long time, but he often went to Concubine Jing to see Longyue.
It is true that things smell good from a distance but smell bad up close. You only know how to cherish something when you lose it.
What made the emperor even more unforgettable was Zhen Huan’s resistance.
These days, whenever he set foot in the harem, he went to Concubine Jin.
Fortunately, after a few days, he turned around and went to Nian Shilan.
Nian Shilan is a person of low character. Now she has made some compromises because of her family, but her pride is still there. She really disdains the emperor's behavior.
She had just complained to Huimin in private, and the next day she found an excuse to have a small quarrel with the emperor.
The emperor could tolerate Nian Shilan's temper tantrum, but he was in a bad mood recently, so in order to avoid making him feel even worse, he didn't do that to Nian Shilan.
Recently he likes to go to An Lingrong and Guaerjia Wenyuan's place.
This was all flattery to him, and the emperor was happy for several days after being coaxed.
But soon, the emperor found these flattering women boring.
He even felt that in such a huge harem, no one understood him.
Finally, he arrived at Chengqian Palace.
Huimin couldn't kick him out, so she had to prepare food and get ready for the show.
Huimin knew very well what the emperor wanted.
You are such a grown-up, but you still act like a young man, being so pretentious every day.
However, Huimin has to do her job well and keep her own personality in mind, so she naturally has to be the sensible, virtuous and eloquent person.
In order to make it more realistic, she also has to be a little jealous and maintain her image of being deeply in love with the emperor, so that the emperor can enjoy it more.
First, prepare the emperor's favorite dishes, change into homely but cute clothes, and put on some makeup.
Everything is ready, and I have to go outside the palace to wait for the emperor in person.
The emperor just likes the way she spends time and effort on him.
Sure enough, looking at Huimin standing pretty in front of the main hall door of Chengqian Palace, the emperor also smiled.
"How long have you been waiting, Min'er?"
What could Huimin say? She quietly raised her eyes to look at the emperor, then looked away as if to conceal her feelings.
She looked like a shy little girl.
"As long as the emperor is here, no matter how long I wait, it won't be too long. Once I see the emperor, I will forget what time it is."
After hearing Huimin's words, the emperor's originally gloomy mood improved a lot and a smile appeared on his face.
When Su Peisheng saw this, he finally felt relieved. The emperor had been in a bad mood for days, and the virtuous concubine was able to coax him into good mood. It showed that the virtuous concubine was very capable.
Wanpin was deposed from the palace. Fortunately, Jinxi followed Concubine Xian, otherwise she would have to suffer with Wanpin today. It would have been extremely difficult for her to see Jinxi.
Now, it is a real pleasure to work for a concubine.
The sad look on Su Peisheng's face also disappeared.
The emperor took one look, pointed at Su Peisheng and said with a smile:
"You old man, you are smiling so brightly too. What makes you so happy?"
Su Peisheng quickly apologized with a smile:
"I am happy to see the emperor happy."
The emperor laughed heartily and took Huimin into Chengqian Palace.
Huimin accompanied the emperor for dinner, "I think the emperor used this dish well last time."
The emperor also took a bite out of courtesy and said, "Well, Concubine Xian is still very careful."
"This dish is indeed good. Thank you."
The two of them ate together, and the emperor became sad again as he ate.
"If you eat too much of this dish, you'll get tired of it. If you want to eat some, you can't eat more than three servings."
Huimin had a smile on her face and started hinting at me again.
"Each of these dishes is made for the emperor to enjoy. The emperor loves it, which is the key to the success of this dish."
"There are so many chefs in the imperial kitchen, and the dishes are so varied. How can the emperor get tired of them? Let them make some new dishes."
The emperor was silent for a moment, then agreed.
"This dish is meant for people to eat. Min'er is right."
"As for new dishes, the imperial kitchen always makes the same few dishes over and over again. They are basically the same and there is no novelty."
Seeing the emperor's expression, Huimin cleverly changed the subject.
"Silang, I heard that you have been suffering from irritation in recent days. This pear soup was cooked by me personally. You should try it."
The emperor looked at Huimin's gentle and harmless face and drank some as well.
"Not bad, Min'er put in a lot of effort."
But the emperor was depressed and couldn't help but talk about it, so he mentioned it anyway.
"Among the concubines in the palace, Concubine An and Concubine Qi are too docile, Concubine Hui and Concubine Lan are not good enough, Concubine Meng is good, but they are all about the same... Oh, it's still Concubine Wan..."
Huimin found the right time to interrupt the emperor.
"Silang~ We are alone together, and you still want to mention other sisters. I will not allow it."
Huimin stood up and went to the emperor.
When the emperor heard this, he stopped talking.
He hugged Huimin and said, "Among so many women in the harem, Min'er is the one I like the most."
"Wanpin is too ignorant, Min'er's personality is just right."
"A virtuous woman with deep affection and loyalty."
"Okay, I won't mention anyone else, to avoid making our Min'er jealous."
The emperor hugged Huimin, and Su Peisheng and the others retreated tactfully.
Huimin did not forget her own personality at this time, and said coquettishly:
"I am not as good as Your Majesty said. I am really unworthy of it."
Huimin said this, but looked at the emperor with expectation, as if she hoped that the emperor would refute her.
When the emperor saw this, he felt that he had seen through Huimin's little thoughts.
"You, you say one thing and mean another. If I say you deserve it, then you deserve it."
"You have worked so hard to manage my harem. You are sensible and never ask for anything from me, but I cannot forget your contribution."
As he spoke, the emperor picked up Huimin and said, "Give your mother the title of First-Rank Lady. She hasn't seen you for a long time. Let her come to the palace to see you in a few days."
"E'ertai is in Yunnan. You can meet him at the next palace banquet."
"Erong is a good student, and E'ertai is very good at teaching children."
Huimin listened to the emperor praising her mother's family and said calmly:
"My mother's family is so great, it's all because of the emperor's appreciation. I'm stupid, but I just know that my father always said that we should be loyal to the emperor and love our country and never forget it."
"Your Majesty is a wise and capable ruler who knows how to appoint the right people to the right posts. It is my honor and my father's honor to be able to serve you."
The emperor originally had some thoughts of testing her, as he knew that Ortai was loyal, but he was even happier to see that Concubine Xian was so obedient.
"Zhen Yuandao made suggestions for the rebel party, Wanpin was too stubborn and became arrogant because of her favor, or Min'er..."
"emperor!"
Huimin immediately pleaded guilty.
"The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, and I dare not discuss Master Zhen's affairs."
Now, the emperor is completely satisfied, good.
If Zhen Huan were here, she would definitely give her opinion on the matter, but Concubine Xian was very polite.
If it were the old Shilan, she would inevitably be proud of her brother's military achievements and want to reward her mother's family.
Concubine Xian, the Emperor thinks Huimin is very good.
"Hahahahaha."
The emperor felt completely relieved and his doubts were dispelled.
