Chapter 325 The old duck soup is more delicious

Emperor Yongchang glanced at Queen Zhenxi next to him with a vague look.

 When it comes to feelings, no one can compare to a wife who grows old together.

 But in terms of thoughtfulness and charm, he did miss Concubine Yu a little.

Empress Zhen Xi pretended not to see the confusion in Emperor Yongchang's eyes, and stood up and said, "I just wanted to bring a bowl of soup to the emperor when the weather got cold, and talk to the emperor with him, but I didn't expect that I was tired first. I hope the emperor will allow me to go back and rest first.”

Emperor Yongchang was pleased with the queen's thoughtfulness and said, "I will have dinner with you later."

Empress Zhen Xi knelt down with a smile and left gracefully with Lily's support.

At the same time, Concubine Yu came in with a bowl of lily and lotus seed soup.

With their eyes facing each other, Concubine Yu smiled first and said, "I never expected that the Queen is here. It seems that I came at the wrong time."

Even if the time comes at the wrong time, you will still be the one leaving.

Not only was Queen Zhen Xi not angry at all, she actually smiled brighter than Concubine Yu, "The weather is getting colder and colder. Your Majesty can't bear for my sister to be exposed to the wind outside, and I hope that my sister will be happy for me and accompany the Emperor."

These words indeed gave Concubine Yu the upper hand, but they also made Emperor Yongchang feel guilty and relieved.

Concubine Yu is good at everything, but she likes to be petty.

The autumn wind was biting, Lily helped Empress Zhen Xi out of the imperial study, and frowned in distress, "Your Majesty, you have wronged yourself so much."

 Empress Zhen Xi smiled faintly, "How can I make the emperor feel distressed if I don't wrong myself?"

  What Concubine Yu is doing at this time, she can guess with her eyes closed.

 Fortunately, she had already smoothed the emperor's mind, and she was not afraid of Concubine Yu stirring up trouble again.

As if thinking of something, Queen Zhenxi asked softly, "Just now Bai Tu said, what kind of soup did Concubine Yu serve?"

 “To tell you the truth, it’s longan and lotus seed soup.”

“The longan and lotus seed soup has a sweet and refreshing taste, which is really wonderful.”

 It's a pity that under the cover of the strong taste of the old duck soup, it is bland and tasteless.

Empress Zhenxi has left, but the old duck soup she left behind is still lingering in the imperial study.

Emperor Yongchang looked at the longan and lotus seed soup in front of him, unable to rouse his appetite.

Seeing this, Concubine Yu took the initiative to stand up and walked behind the emperor, gently squeezing the emperor's shoulders with a pair of jade hands.

Emperor Yongchang squinted his eyes comfortably and enjoyed it. After a while, he raised his hand and touched the jade hand on his shoulder. "If you are tired, my beloved, take a rest. If you are exhausted, I will feel sorry for you."

Concubine Yu sighed sadly, "It doesn't matter if I'm a little tired, I'm just worried that the emperor will treat someone unkindly."

Emperor Yongchang opened his eyes slightly and asked, "What do you mean by my concubine's words?"

Concubine Yu saw the emperor's temper and hurriedly came to her knees and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty doesn't know something. That girl from the Hua family is so shameless. She showed up in the imperial city despite the emperor's imperial decree and kept saying: "Why is it to share the emperor's worries? From Yichen's concubine's point of view, it's obvious that she just wants to stand out."

If the words of Queen Zhenxi just now made Emperor Yongchang a little suspicious, then Concubine Yu's words now just solved Emperor Yongchang's confusion, and even sent people to investigate in the imperial city.

It is precisely because of this that Emperor Yongchang had to carefully consider what Queen Zhenxi just said.

Because he was afraid of the Hua family, all the men from the Hua family died, and he also paid the price of losing Xiao Qi.

Because he was suspicious of Fan Qingyao, he asked the prince to kill him secretly. As a result, the prince almost died.

 But what’s the result?

Although Emperor Yongchang did not believe in repaying evil with kindness, he had to say that the Hua family had never done anything beyond their reach from beginning to end. Everything was just because of his suspicion.

Seeing that the emperor had not spoken for a long time, Concubine Yu added to her anger, "I think back then, relying on the favor of the Hua family, the subordinates of the Hua family dared to murder the third prince in the palace. If the Hua family borrows it again, The emperor is so powerful that I don’t know what he is going to do, so how can I not worry about the emperor?”

Concubine Yu understood clearly that the emperor had been worried about the Hua family for more than a day. Now he was already frightened and would naturally become restless if there was any slight disturbance.

Now that the Hua family is becoming more and more popular, Concubine Yu must find a way to bring the Hua family back to its original shape.

 Otherwise, waiting for the Hua family to submit the Hua family's daughter's post to the palace, and then waiting for the Hua family's daughter to become the princess of other princes, will become the biggest obstacle to the third prince's rise to the top. Especially that Fan Qingyao!

Concubine Yu was right. If it were normal, Emperor Yongchang would be led away by her words.

 But the bad thing is that Queen Zhenxi came one step earlier.

At the moment, Emperor Yongchang looked at Concubine Yu who was kneeling in front of him, and then thought about what Empress Zhenxi had just said, and suddenly there were two directions in his mind.

 In the past, he was just like Concubine Yu, who wanted to be jealous of the Hua family and even Fan Qingyao, so whenever he felt suspicious, he made up his mind to get rid of her.

 But whether it was the Xianbei incident or the prince's life hanging by a thread, he had to taste that stealing a chicken would end up losing a lot of rice.

 What if he changed his mind and focused on getting rid of the Hua family instead of using the Hua family?

In this way, not only can he control the people he wants to control, but he can also tighten the money bag for Xiliang to fill military pay every year.

I have to say that Queen Zhenxi’s words completely opened up a new continent for Emperor Yongchang.

Emperor Yongchang looked at Concubine Yu who was kneeling in front of him again, as if he had seen his former self.

  Narrow, timid, short-sighted.

"I have thought about this matter myself, so I don't need to worry about it anymore." Emperor Yongchang stretched out his hand to pull Concubine Yu up.

Concubine Yu naturally understood the meaning of the sentence, and held the emperor's hand shyly, but when she stood up, she sat charmingly in the emperor's arms...

 Half an hour later, Concubine Yu walked out of the imperial study.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Tu was called in by Emperor Yongchang.

Concubine Yu knew in her heart that once the emperor became suspicious of someone, the emperor would definitely take action, so now she just had to wait and watch the show.

 Back at Yue Yu Palace, Concubine Yu was always in a good mood.

Not long after, someone from the imperial court came to report the news.

After hearing what the imperial concubine said, Grandma Ying trembled all over and lost the courage to even look at Concubine Yu.

“Mother, empress… the people in front of the emperor just came to report that it was the emperor. The emperor gave an order and transferred some people from the six departments to go to the temple street to help, to help Mrs. Gaoming deliver porridge and build tents to help the people..."

Concubine Yu is not in a good mood.

Concubine Yu almost ran away on the spot!

 “You, say it again?”

Aunt Ying looked at Concubine Yu who was staggering at her feet, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "The news from the imperial court is absolutely correct. I heard that the men dispatched by the six ministries have left the palace."

"How is it possible! Absolutely impossible!" She couldn't understand the emperor's character. The words she just said were to prevent her from murdering the Hua family again, but she must still be suspicious.

 But the emperor not only failed to correct it, but actually helped?

 What is the problem?

Concubine Yu, who had bulging veins on her forehead, took a long time to say through gritted teeth, "Empress! Empress!"

 In Fengyi Palace.

After hearing Lily’s report, Queen Zhenxi said ‘hmm’ without any surprise.

Lily said doubtfully, "The emperor followed the Queen's advice. I'm afraid Concubine Yu will go crazy. The Queen should be happy."

Empress Zhen Xi curled her lips lightly, "Now is not the time to be happy."

The emperor sending people to help Hua's family is indeed something that makes people feel relieved, but according to her inner plan, this is just a small step.

If you want to completely protect your own little cabbage flowers, there is still a long way to go.
