Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

Eunuch Gui and Xiao Anzi beside him fell to the ground, ready to be punished by the emperor. The emperor was originally very angry. But when he heard Eunuch Gui say this and took the initiative to admit his guilt, his anger slowly dissipated.

The atmosphere in the room slowly returned to normal.

"Yes, you should be punished, but what's the matter with you saying that Lu Ziren's pastry shop is doing so well?"

The emperor was very curious about Lu Ziren's pastry shop, and he sent people to inquire about it. It was not him who sent people to inquire, but the people below reported that Lu Ziren and his wife opened a pastry shop. As soon as the shop opened, it attracted countless customers from the capital. It was crowded with people and cars. The queue twisted a few times like a huge snake. He originally thought that these were just exaggerations of those people, but he didn't expect it to be true. Even his father, who went to his house to buy pastries, had to queue up with him.

The emperor raised his fist and punched the memorial hard on the skin that had just healed, but his force was not strong, just to intimidate the people in the store.

"Bold Lu Ziren, how dare the envoy I sent be so neglectful!" Although the emperor was angry, there was no trace of blame in his tone for Lu Ziren.

"Your Majesty, when we went to the pastry shop before, Lu Ziren and his wife were not there. They didn't know our identities and treated us as ordinary customers. I wanted to cut in line, but then I remembered that all the people in the world are your Majesty's subjects. As an envoy of your Majesty, how could I interfere with your Majesty's fame and do something illegal? So I waited in line obediently, but unfortunately when it was my turn, there were not many pastries in the pastry shop, so I only bought these few."

Eunuch Gui opened the mousse cake he bought immediately, and suddenly a strong stench emanated from the imperial study. The emperor's face turned visibly darker.

"What is this? Take it away quickly. It smells so weird. Are you trying to poison me?" The emperor was not a person who liked to kill, nor was he a person who made trouble for no reason.

"Your Majesty, this cake is called Durian Mousse Cake. Durian is a fruit introduced from the northwest border. Someone from the southwest border offered it as tribute before, but Your Majesty disliked the taste of the cake, so he did not try it. This time, I tried a piece in the cake shop and found that it just smelled a bit unpleasant, but it tasted great. Your Majesty can try it."

Eunuch Gui said to the emperor fearlessly. The emperor originally frowned, but when he heard what Eunuch Gui said, he immediately waved his sleeves and straightened his body.

So, he should be blamed last time, because he gave the poisonous fruit to others, so he didn't get to eat this delicious fruit. But since Gui Gonggong said so, and Gui Gonggong grew up with him, he went to understand his taste, he likes to eat delicious food, so why not try it.

"Then try it first. If you lie to me, I will punish you." The emperor said so. Is that right? Eunuch Gui was anxious because everyone has different tastes. He thought it was delicious, but the emperor might not think so. But when it comes to matters of life, one should be extremely cautious.

"Your Majesty, you are embarrassing me. I dare not gamble my life with you. My life has always been firmly in your hands. If your Majesty wants me to go east, I will never go west."

"Oh, forget it, forget it. I can't even take a joke with you. Look at how cowardly you are. Cut it for me."

The emperor was actually quite curious. He had given the durian he had offered to a concubine who had asked to be reborn. He had thought that this stinky fruit would also taste stinky, but he had never expected that today, his father-in-law would tell him that it tasted delicious, and he could not help but become curious.

When Eunuch Gui knew that the emperor was offering a sacrifice, he immediately took a knife. He cut the cake into small pieces on the plate and passed them to the emperor. The emperor smelled the strong smell and felt even more uncomfortable for a moment, but when he thought of the smell described by Eunuch Gui, he pinched his nose. He held his breath, put the cake in his mouth, and slowly rejected it, but there was still a strong stench in his mouth. He was about to lose his temper, but he felt a glutinous fragrance in his mouth. The rich milk fragrance covered it, leaving only the unforgettable taste.

"Well, this is really good." The emperor scooped the mousse cake from the plate with a small spoon and praised it with a smacking of his lips.

However, after eating it, there was a very unpleasant taste in the mouth. The emperor would not allow his glorious image to be ruined by this piece of cake, so the emperor asked Eunuch Gui to open all the windows in the imperial study to let in some fresh air, and then asked Eunuch Gui to fill the imperial study with pleasant-smelling ambergris to cover up the strong smell.

Because there were not many durians, the cake Xia Yingying could make was not very big, only about 10 inches. Because durian was expensive, the cost of this pastry was also expensive. This cake alone sold for 300 taels of silver.

It is extremely luxurious. Only ordinary people can afford to eat such pastries.

The emperor fell in love with the taste of durian mousse cake.

Suddenly he remembered the concubine who had taken the initiative to ask for durian to be given to him, but he forgot which one it was. There were so many beauties in the harem, but he only often visited a few of them, and the others were just decorations.

So the emperor asked Eunuch Gui: "What's the name of the concubine who gave durian to me last time? Which palace is she in?"

"Step aside, that is Concubine Rou, Princess Jing'an's biological mother."

"Concubine Rou?" The emperor couldn't even remember that there was a woman named Concubine Rou in his palace. He didn't even have any impression of what the princess looked like or how old she was.

When Eunuch Gui saw that the emperor could not remember Concubine Rou, where she came from and what she looked like, he kindly introduced the emperor to the relevant information about Concubine Rou.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rou came from the southwestern border. Princess Jing'an, born to her, is six years old this year and it is time for her to go to school. But I heard that she told Roufen that she wanted to go to the Imperial Academy. Since Concubine Rou is not favored, she can only teach her herself without any special treatment, so..."

The emperor really couldn't remember who Rong Fei was. He just remembered that there was such a person. But when he thought about how Concubine Rou had quietly given birth to a daughter for him, he could say that she had done a good job in giving birth to a child. Although there was nothing too much, now that he remembered it, he should give him less food. Concubine Rou didn't ask for much. She just wanted her daughter to go to the Imperial Academy. That was no big deal. If she wanted to go, she could go. It was not like she had no conditions to go.

"Rou Fei has been very aggrieved in the palace for so many years. How about this, Eunuch Gui, you take my order to reward Rou Fei with some gold, silver, and jewelry to give him a higher position. Princess Jing'an will reward him with some good things. Instruct the people in the palace to take good care of him. If he has any grievances, he can ask me for help. After the New Year, let her report to the Imperial College."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Although the Empress is in charge of the harem in the palace and is very popular, the Emperor is equal to the entire harem and may encounter inconsideration in many places. The situation of Concubine Rou and her family in the palace is not very good, but it is not very bad. Now that the Emperor is taking care of them, they can live a little better. "Please vote"
