Zhen Huan Reborn as Langya to Cure Yi Syndrome

Chapter 80: Bird's Nest is a Luxurious Thing

Hongli was too ill and Zhen Huan didn't know how to wake him up.

Zhen Huan was still struggling, not knowing what to do. The other concubines had obviously taken Concubine Zhe's words to heart, and they gathered in groups of three or five to play mahjong every day.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Ruyi leaned on Hongli's shoulder and happily reminisced about the past with him. "There are three words that I like the emperor to say the most."

"What three words?"

"Don't worry, with these three words, I will feel at ease even if I am confined to the Yanx Palace." Ruyi whispered in Hongli's ear.

Hongli was moved. He thought that this was how he should stay with Ruyi.

"Your Majesty, can you transfer Ling Yunche, the guard of Yanxi Palace, to be the imperial guard?"

Hongli struggled, "I'm afraid this is against the rules."

Ruyi left Hongli and turned her head away from him, "Your Majesty, do you really not trust the talents I recommended? We have a close relationship, how could I harm Your Majesty?"

Hongli had no choice but to agree to Ruyi, fearing that she would get angry and quarrel with him.

Ling Yunche took up his post with high spirits and confidence. He firmly believed that if he was given a chance, he could definitely prove himself.

However, when the opportunity came, Ling Yunche backed down.

The chieftain of Dajinchuan, Sha Luoben, used a trick to seize control of Xiaojinchuan, and then sent troops to attack the neighboring chieftain tribes. He was unstoppable and constantly encroached on and annexed the strategic areas of Sichuan and Tibet.

By the time the news of Sha Luoben's rebellion reached the Yangxin Palace, the Dajinchuan soldiers were less than a hundred miles away from the Kangding area.

Hongli summoned the military ministers to discuss the matter. "Jinchuan is the key point of Sichuan and Tibet. If there is unrest, it will affect the peace of the entire northwest and southwest. Now, I have no time to make trouble for him, but he dares to make trouble for me first."

The ministers debated how to deal with the rebellion of Sha Luo Ben. Some advocated sending troops to suppress it, while others advocated peace talks and appeasement.

At this time, an urgent military order was transmitted to the Grand Council. Sha Luoben led his troops to besiege the Qing army’s base in Holzhang Valley. The Qing army suffered heavy casualties, and the commander Xiang Chaoxuan was killed in the battle.

Hongli was furious and decided to send troops to eliminate Sha Luoben.

Fuheng requested to fight, but Hongli refused. "Dispatch the Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Zhang Guangsi, to Sichuan to quell the rebellion and completely wipe out the rebels."

Guards could join the army, but Ling Yunche chose to hide away, and contentedly stayed in the position that Ruyi had found for him, eating and waiting to die.

After work, other colleagues were talking about the Jinchuan War, but he couldn't understand a word. Over time, other guards discovered that he was a fool.

Fu Heng was very disappointed with the emperor this time. Not only was he unwilling to let him enter Sichuan, but he also found him a stupid subordinate who got in through nepotism.

The war in the previous dynasty was tense and Hongli was in a bad mood. The women in the harem smelled a storm coming and did not dare to gather together to play cards openly.

Wei Yanwan couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw the emperor worried every day. She went to visit Concubine Yi and studied a new way to cook bird's nest in Jingyang Palace.

Wei Yanwan knew that Lu Muping liked delicious food, so she brought today's finished product for her to taste. When Lu Muping heard that it was jointly produced by Huang Qiying and Wei Yanwan, her eyes lit up.

"The bird's nest is smooth and delicate, melting in your mouth; the pigeon eggs are neither bland nor salty, and they still retain their original flavor; the mung bean powder is the most delicious, soft, glutinous and elastic." Lu Muping praised it highly.

"Empress Lingpin, you are truly a genius. You can do everything so well." Lu Muping felt that words like elegant and kind, smart and clever were difficult to describe Wei Yanwan.

Wei Yanwan was amused by her cute appearance and said, "If Concubine Qing doesn't mind, you can come to Yongshou Palace when you have time and taste my cooking."

Lu Muping couldn't ask for more.

On the second day, Wei Yanwan walked towards the Yangxin Palace with the bird's nest powder she had researched yesterday.

Jinzhong saw Wei Yanwan walking towards the Yangxin Palace from afar and felt that it was really worth standing in the snow for a day.

"Empress Lingpin, the Emperor is discussing matters with Lord Fuheng inside. I will go and inform him."

Wei Yanwan stopped Jinzhong, "No, the emperor and Lord Fuheng must be discussing military and national affairs, and they can't be disturbed for my trivial matters."

Wei Yanwan walked to the side a little and stood at the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation with Jinzhong, waiting.

Jinzhong never thought that he would have the chance to stand with Ling Zhuer like this in his lifetime. He couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster and he felt dizzy.

"My Lady Lingpin, it's freezing cold. Please go to the back room and wait. When Master Fuheng comes out, I will go and inform you."

Wei Yanwan rejected Jinzhong's kindness, thinking that she would wait for a while and leave if it didn't work.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Fu Heng came out and saw Concubine Ling waiting quietly. He couldn't help but feel a liking for this lady.

He is worthy of being praised by his sister. He is so sensible. Last time, when Concubine Xian from the Yanx Palace came, she loudly asked for a meeting at the door, and he felt ashamed for the emperor.

Fu Heng: Fortunately, I was the only one who saw it. If others saw it, they would say that my sister is incapable of managing the concubines.

After exchanging greetings, Wei Yanwan walked into the Yangxin Palace.

"I know that Your Majesty likes to eat bird's nests, so I specially used a new and ingenious method to make it myself and present it to Your Majesty."

Hongli held Wei Yanwan's hands, looking at them from side to side, "Let the people below do these heavy tasks, don't get hurt."

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty likes it, I will be happy. It's nothing."

When the two were in love, Li Yu came in and reported, "Xian Chang is asking to see you."

"Let her in. She's in for a treat."

Wei Yanwan rolled her eyes in her heart. She really didn’t want to see that person.

"Ruyi, this is the bird's nest powder that Lingpin has just made. You can try it too."

Ruyi took the bowl handed to her by the imperial maid Maoqian, pinched the bottom of the bowl with two fingers, and fried it with the remaining three fingers. With her other hand, she picked up the spoon like a peacock dancing and took the food slowly and elegantly.

"The bird's nest vermicelli stewed by Concubine Ling is a plain white bowl, and it looks very clean. But bird's nest is a luxurious thing, and it is best to stew it slowly in clear soup, and it is inferior to mix it with meat and greasy food. Concubine Ling used three taels of bird's nest in this bowl, which is too much and has lost its delicious taste." Ruyi commented on Wei Yanwan's cooking skills in a serious manner.

"If you like it, eat it quietly. If you don't like it, put it down. When you go out, don't say that bird's nest is luxurious, as if I have treated my concubines harshly and made you never even see three taels of bird's nest."

"Your Majesty, what did you say?" Ruyi was shocked that the emperor spoke to her so harshly.

"I said not to talk while eating and not to talk while sleeping. I think you have to go back and learn the rules again." Hongli just lowered his head to eat and ignored Ruyi.

Now the battle in Jinchuan was at a stalemate, and the Qing army encountered Shaluoben's secret weapon, suffering heavy casualties. Hongli maintained high-intensity mental work every day. His clear mind dissipated some of the Yi disease virus in his body.

Ruyi waved her sleeves and left, "Hmph, I'm really angry, so I won't salute you."

Hongli shook his head helplessly and consoled Wei Yanwan, "Don't bother with her. She has always been ignorant of the rules and has no brains."

Ruyi, who was leaving the Yangxin Palace, heard the emperor say, "I originally wanted to promote her to a noble lady, but now it seems unnecessary. She should continue to learn the rules."

The sad Ruyi accidentally knocked over the white porcelain vase at the door.

Ruyi: This is sweet white glaze.
