Jia Min's Counterattack

Recently, the emperor has been going to Jinxiu Palace very frequently.Today Xiang Guiren is going to play chess with the emperor, tomorrow Zhao Guiren is going to dance swords for the emperor, and later the imperial concubine feels sorry for the emperor's body and makes a tonic soup.In short, the three women in Jinxiu Palace are full of tricks, each showing their special abilities.The two nobles also tried their best to win over the empresses with status in the palace, and even Eunuch Shi and Nv Shi Zhang who were beside the emperor couldn't escape.

"Your Majesty, Long Live Lord, you should think of a way, this slave is almost afraid to go out!" Eunuch Shi said with a mournful face.

"You're not happy about someone giving you a gift!" The emperor chuckled, apparently in a good mood.

"Your Majesty, you don't know! How can gifts be given by blocking people's doors?"

"Could it be that you dare to accept it if you send it in private?" The emperor glanced at Mr. Shi and said.

"Your majesty, it's not that you don't know that slaves usually accept some year gifts and birthday gifts, and they don't accept anything expensive."

"Everyone else accepts, why don't the two nobles accept, you are not giving my new favorite face!" The emperor smiled meaningfully.

"Oh, Your Majesty! How dare a slave! Isn't it appropriate to deliver this to the door!" Eunuch Shi was sweating profusely.

"Give it to you, you just take it. I didn't say anything, what are you afraid of? Just tell the disciples and grandchildren below you to make the servants better!" The emperor said a little impatiently.

Seeing that the emperor didn't want to say any more, Eunuch Shi said, "I understand!"This time he got the approval of the emperor, and he took it with confidence.

On this day, Lin Ruhai was listening to the emperor's talk about harvesting grain after the autumn harvest in the imperial study, when the little eunuch outside came to report: Mr. Xiang Gui has brought medicinal food to the emperor.

Disdain flashed in the emperor's eyes, and after a long silence, he had an idea in his heart, and said, "Let her in."

"Your Majesty, I will retire first!" Lin Ruhai immediately evaded.

The emperor looked at him and nodded with a smile, "Go and do your work first, and I'll talk to you later."

"Yes, I will leave!" Lin Ruhai saluted and left.

As soon as he left the gate of the imperial study, he met a beautiful young woman in palace attire, who must be Mrs. Xiang.Lin Ruhai quickly bowed his head and saluted, then left without a word.Xiang Xiaoqin waited until Lin Ruhai walked away for a long time before she came back to her senses after being reminded by the little eunuch. She smiled and nodded to the little eunuch, and asked seemingly unintentionally, "Who was that lord just now?"

"Are you talking about that young and handsome son? He is Jinke Tanhua, the editor of the Imperial Academy, Mr. Lin, and he is a celebrity around the emperor!" The little eunuch smiled and said, "Please come in, my lord, the emperor is waiting for you inside." .”

Xiang Xiaoqin didn't expect that this was Jia Min's husband, Lin Ruhai. Thinking of the qin and flute ensemble played by the two in Li's house that day, Xiang Xiaoqin felt unwilling: Why is such a rich and handsome Tanhua Lang not her Xiang Xiaoqin's husband? .Why did she commit herself to an old man older than her father?

Xiang Xiaoqin gathered herself together, and appeared in front of the emperor with what she thought was the most beautiful smile.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" After Xiang Xiaoqin saluted the emperor, he was found by the emperor.

"Why is Qin'er here at this time?" The emperor asked Xiang Xiaoqin's hand.

Xiang Xiaoqin smiled softly, "The emperor takes care of everything every day, and the concubines are very distressed. They woke up early in the morning to pick chrysanthemums with dew, and cooked chrysanthemum and lily porridge. The emperor will show his face and try it to see if it suits his taste." Then he took out the cooked porridge from the food box.

Eunuch Shi stepped forward and took out a silver needle from his sleeve, put it in a bowl and tried it. The silver needle did not turn black, and then he gave it to the emperor with both hands.

The emperor sniffed the bowl, "Hmm! Not bad, it smells like chrysanthemums."

"Try it, Your Majesty, it tastes sweeter than it smells!" Xiang Xiaoqin said with a smile.

The emperor took the spoon and ate it as he said, smiling and nodding while eating, expressing that the taste was good.The amount of a bowl of porridge is not big, and the emperor was a little bit unsatisfied, "Your porridge is really good, but it's too little, I haven't had enough yet!"

Xiang Xiaoqin said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, this congee sent by my concubine is for you to use as a snack to pad your stomach, how can it be used as a dinner?"

The emperor laughed and hugged Xiang Xiaoqin in his arms, "Okay, since it's not a dinner, let's go to Qin'er for dinner." With a teasing tone, Xiang Xiaoqin shyly buried her head in the emperor in the arms.

Returning from the imperial study to her small courtyard in Jinxiu Palace, Xiang Xiaoqin said to Xiuyun beside her, "Go and investigate about Lin Tanhua."

Xiuyun is Zhen Yingjia's maid for Xiang Xiaoqin, and entered the palace with Xiang Xiaoqin, and Xiuyun is responsible for contacting Zhen Yingjia's contacts with Xiang Xiaoqin.

"Why does your lord want to investigate him? Lin Ruhai will never stand on our side. He is highly valued by the emperor, and he is upright. Many people have tried to win him over or even calculated him but have not succeeded."

"That's someone else, not me. Just check it out, the more detailed the better, I have a way to make him mine." The obsession in Xiang Xiaoqin's eyes did not hide from the shrewd Xiuyun, she wanted to remind Xiang Xiaoqin Qin, but after a second thought: It’s okay to let her try, failure just kills her arrogance, so she won’t be too self-righteous in the future; if it succeeds, that’s a good thing.

As soon as Xiang Xiaoqin's porridge was delivered, the first palace lord of Jinxiu Palace, Concubine Wang Guifei, knew about it. "As expected of being from the south of the Yangtze River, this foxy charmer is quite capable!"

"Your Majesty, why should you be as knowledgeable as her, a little nobleman, your Majesty doesn't like it anymore, why don't you let your Majesty let her go?" Wu Momo, who was beside Concubine Wang, said flatteringly.

Although Wang Guifei didn't pay attention to Wu Meme's charming appearance, but what she said was very pleasant. "I don't dare to provoke her, she's getting a lot of holy family now!"

"No matter how much she is favored, she can't go to the empress. The empress has been almost exclusively favored these years. In the heart of the emperor, the empress is the most concerned. The emperor is just greedy for a novelty."

"The relationship between my palace and the emperor is not comparable to anyone!" Concubine Wang smiled confidently, and there were faint traces in the corners of her eyes, not only did not look old, but added a bit of mature charm.Wu Memo continued to say a lot of good words, and Wang Guifei's sourness caused by Xiang Xiaoqin's delivery of porridge dissipated.

After Lin Ruhai came home at night, he also told Jia Min about Xiang Xiaoqin's actions. "The emperor never allowed concubines to come to the imperial study room in front before, but today he allowed it for some reason. Could it be that he really dotes on Xiang Xiaoqin too much?"

"The emperor's favor is not necessarily a good thing, Xiang Xiaoqin must have made a lot of enemies in the palace now."

Lin Ruhai didn't understand the dispute between the harem and the rear house, but he understood it after Jia Min watched it. "In the future, you can watch big dramas by the emperor's side."

"If the emperor knew what you were thinking, he would beat you thirty times!" Jia Min scolded.

"No way, the emperor will punish me for copying [-] books!" The husband and wife jokingly went for a walk in the garden.
