Xu Yinshang shouted outside the door for a long time, but no one came to open the door.

So she simply sat on the stone steps outside the door. When Zi Wan saw her, he quickly advised her, "My lady, please get up quickly. The ground is cold! Don't catch a cold!"

Xu Yinshang said in despair, "Haha, the green card has been taken away, what am I afraid of?"

Seeing that he could not persuade her, Zi Wan had no choice but to sit on the steps with his young master.

After a long while, when Xu Yinshang was feeling dejected, the door behind him suddenly creaked open!

Xu Yinshang turned around happily, thinking that the Queen Mother was finally willing to see her! Someone came to open the door!

However, the person who came out was Aunt Liu, who served the Empress Dowager.

Xu Yinshang stood up quickly, walked quickly to Aunt Liu and asked, "Aunt, did the Queen Mother ask you to come out? Does the Queen Mother have any words for Yinshang?"

Aunt Liu shook her head and said, "I am going to the imperial kitchen. The Queen Mother has nothing to say to you. Your Excellency does not need to ask any more questions."

Seeing Aunt Liu turning around to leave, Xu Yinshang followed her and asked, "Has the Queen Mother just given up on Yinshang? Yinshang doesn't understand what she did wrong to make the Queen Mother hate her so much?"

Aunt Liu didn't want to pay attention to her, but Xu Yinshang kept following her relentlessly.

"Then I will tell you the truth. You are the Queen Mother's niece, but you are closer than her son! That's all I have to say. You can figure it out yourself."

Xu Yinshang didn't understand what Aunt Liu meant, so she stopped where she was, muttering, "Niece... is not as close as my son..."

But the maidservant beside her understood the meaning, "My lady, I understand!"

"Aunt Liu means that your relationship with the Queen Mother is not as close as the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Emperor!"

After hearing this, Xu Yinshang couldn't help but think, "Could it be that the Queen Mother knew that the cakes I made damaged the Emperor's teeth? That's why she took away my green card!"

Zi Wan nodded and said, "It can only be like this, my lord."

Xu Yinshang fell into deep thought. She had only been in the palace for half a month, and she had already become an abandoned child. She clearly had no ability, but she insisted on showing off. Now, it was all over...

You know, when she was practicing dancing before entering the palace, the Queen Mother had said in person that she had high hopes for her...

Lantern Festival

In the blink of an eye, it is the Lantern Festival.

As usual, Song Qingwan did not attend the banquet. She was now fully focused on protecting her children and did not dare to attend crowded places.

Concubine Lan sat in the first seat of the concubines, glanced at Song Qingwan's empty seat, and whispered to Meng'er, "It seems that the incense is still quite effective on that bitch. She can't come for the Lantern Festival."

Meng'er said confidently, "Don't worry, Madam. I'm afraid she will never recover this time~"

Lan Fei said with satisfaction, "Well done!"

Next to Concubine Lan's seat was Concubine Ru. Seeing Concubine Lan and her servant whispering to each other, Concubine Ru felt bored and greeted Zuo Wenyi instead.

After seeing this, Zuo Wenyi quickly responded.

Rupin asked loudly, "Zuo Changzai, I have a dish of pickled cabbage and pork belly here, would you like to try it?"

Zuo Wenyi smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Madam!"

Seeing that Zuo Wenyi wanted to try it, Concubine Ru quickly ordered Zi Han to bring the sauerkraut pork belly in front of her to Zuo Wenyi's table.

After Zi Han brought it over, Zuo Wenyi took a bite. It was so sour that she wanted to close her eyes. However, with so many eyes staring at her, and the law of "sour boys, spicy girls", she had no choice but to pretend that it tasted good.

He ate with gusto, smacking his lips and making sounds like "Hmm~ not bad, delicious" from time to time.

Ling Xiangxiang felt sick when she saw Zuo Wenyi like this. Was it really that delicious? She just collected Rupin's dishes and cooked them for Rupin to see!

And Rupin was indeed watching Zuo Wenyi's reaction from a distance. She saw Zuo Wenyi couldn't stop eating one bite after another, and nodded in praise from time to time.

Rupin said happily, "Eat more if you like it!"

Zuo Wenyi forced a smile and said, "I like it very much. Thank you, Concubine Ru!"

Rupin looked at Zuo Changzai with a look of satisfaction, and only after she saw her finish the small dish did she withdrew her gaze with satisfaction.

"Sour boy, spicy girl" From this point of view, Zuo Wenyi is very likely pregnant with a son! If that's the case, that would be great, I will have a son by my side in the future! Rupin thought happily.

Zuo Wenyi, on the other hand, was not feeling so good at this time. Because Rupin's gaze was too scorching, and other people also looked at her sideways, she had to force herself to eat a whole dish of pickled cabbage and pork belly...

Now my mouth is full of the disgusting taste of sauerkraut!

Zuo Wenyi whispered to the maid, "Manxu, pour some water!"

After hearing this, Manxu quickly took the kettle and poured water. Zuo Wenyi looked around and saw that no one cared, so he drank one cup after another until the sourness in his mouth was relieved.

"Finally, the sour taste is gone!" Zuo Wenyi thought to herself.

Then I picked up the spicy chicken cubes on my table and put them in my mouth. It was fragrant and spicy, and very delicious!

I saw a dish of fried kidney in front of me, with fat and tender kidney and red peppers on it, which looked very appetizing!

Zuo Wenyi picked up the chopsticks, took a piece of kidney and put it in his mouth. Ah, this is the taste, so delicious! The spicy taste permeated the tip of his tongue.

Not satisfied with just one bite, Zuo Wenyi was about to take another bite when she was noticed by Concubine Ru.

Rupin repeatedly stopped her, "Zuo Changzai! Wait a minute! Don't eat that dish, it's spicy! Don't choke the child!"

Concubine Shen was sitting in the middle, and she found it funny that the Emperor was not anxious while the eunuchs were.

After hearing this, Zuo Changzai had no choice but to put down his chopsticks, but his eyes were fixed on the "Stir-fried Kidney Cutlets".

Rupin was afraid that Zuo Changzai would eat spicy food and burn the baby in her belly, so she ordered the palace servants, "Quick! Take away all the spicy dishes in front of Zuo Changzai! Replace them with sour ones! Zuo Changzai likes sour food."

Zuo Changzai looked at his favorite spicy diced chicken and stir-fried pork kidney being taken away reluctantly, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

When Lady Shen noticed Concubine Zuo's little action, she asked in doubt, "If Concubine Zuo didn't like spicy food, why did she pick up the fried kidney in front of her? You can see the bright red chili on it at a glance."

Zuo Changzai was suddenly hit in the heart and stammered, "Because... because I picked up the wrong one. I wanted to pick up the sweet and sour pork next to it! Yes, that's right!"

Shen Guiren knew that Zuo Changzai was lying, but she was too lazy to expose her because she saw it with her own eyes! Zuo Changzai put the fried kidney into her mouth calmly, without any abnormality on her face.

If someone who doesn’t eat spicy food accidentally eats something spicy, they would probably look horrified!

Ling Xiangxiang, who likes to watch the fun, said, "Wow, Zuo Chang has so many pickled vegetables in front of you. Pickled fish, pickled beef, pickled tofu! Come on, eat them!"
