Sweet and sour lotus root

Xia Tong had no choice but to stand up and salute, "I will remember the teachings of the Empress."

Feng Yuzhen sat opposite her, looking at the slut who was half-hearted. She couldn't see what Xia Tong was good about, why would the emperor like her so much? He hung Cheng Yao on one end, and was reluctant to let go of the glory and wealth in the palace on the other end, so he looked aggrieved, as if she was so innocent - only a fool believed it!

If the two had not been involved before entering the palace, how could Cheng Yao be obsessed with her? But the emperor's gloomy temperament suddenly became open-minded and did not pursue such matters. He also named her a beauty and was on an equal footing with himself. How could she match her?

Feng Yuzhen stroked her slender ankle, and the wound was still aching. The boiling water was poured straight on her feet, and she couldn't stand it. Although she had a secret recipe and was not worried about leaving scars, the pain of skin shaving was unbearable.

Feng Yuzhen didn't think she was wrong first, she just felt that Xia Tong made a special trip to oppose her, which was simply a grievance in her previous life!

After the meeting, Xia Tong and Li Mi came out of Linzhi Palace together, but Jiang Yingyue called her behind her, "Sister Xia."

The two had to come forward and salute.

Jiang Yingyue looked at Xia Tong with endless light flowing, even a woman could not resist. "The concubine's sister did not intend to do it, but she loved His Majesty deeply. She would speak without saying anything when she was angry for a moment. Please don't bother with her."

This seems to be how much energy Xia Tong has, and the dignified concubine has to look at her expression.

Invisibly, Jiang Bilan was stabbed - pointing out that her concubine had committed a jealous taboo.

Xia Tong smiled and said, "Empress Zhaoyi is so serious. We are all concubines in the palace. We should be one of our own hearts. We should take serving the emperor as our responsibility in everything. I should respect the imperial concubine. How could the imperial concubine be dissatisfied with me? It must be that Sister Zhaoyi had a misunderstanding."

Jiang Yingyue’s eyes are like a boom, “It’s best if you can figure it out.”

After saying that, he left with a handkerchief.

Li Mi became jealous again, "I didn't expect that even Jiang Zhaoyi would come to please you, as if she was afraid that you would be too careless."

Originally, a concubine was embarrassed, but Jiang Yingyue wanted to describe it. It can be seen how popular Xia Tong is in the palace now.

Xia Tong sighed, "You think of her so well."

Now she understood why the Jiang family wanted to send a pair of sisters into the palace. With Jiang Bilan's ability, they were not enough to gain a foothold. But now Jiang Bilan is the imperial concubine and Jiang Yingyue is the concubine. For her own status, Jiang Yingyue has to rely on Jiang Bilan and help her advise. The two sisters are thin and fat, and they are both wise and brave, so why worry about not being able to win over the emperor in their hands.

Unfortunately, the emperor didn't benefit from it, but instead gave her an outsider. Xia Tong didn't know whether she should say that she was too lucky or too bad. Of course, she would live a better life if she had favor in the palace, but at the same time she would make more enemies, and it depends on how to choose.

Forget it, she is not a worried person, so she should just follow the situation.

Li Mi was still muttering, "Young Master Cheng is infatuated with you, why don't you agree to him?"

According to her, even if the emperor refused to let him go, as long as Xia Tong begs hard and even shows his ambitions with death, the emperor will always be moved. There is no reason why the cows are forced to press their heads without drinking water.

Xia Tong asked her, "If Cheng Yao asked you to marry today, would you go?"

Li Mi answered very quickly, "Of course not."

Cheng Yao is now just the second place. It is another matter whether he has a promising future. No matter how big the official position is, how can he compare to the emperor above ten thousand people? If he can survive in the palace, the benefits he gets are far from comparable to those of an ordinary wife.

Xia Tong smiled, "Then I am the same."

She originally wanted to say that she loved money, but Li Mi was stunned for a moment and sighed deeply: "Sister, for the sake of the Xia family, you can even give up your own body. This kind of sentiment is far beyond my reach."

It turns out that she thought Xia Tong had to betray true love for the sake of the future of the family and stayed in the palace.

Xia Tong: “…”

She suddenly felt that this colleague was too simple.

Not long after returning to Roufu Palace, the people in front of the emperor gave the reward.

The little monkey pointed to a box of gold and silver, and about ten pieces of silk, and said with a wink, "The master said, these are just for adding makeup to your beauty. If you serve Your Majesty in the future, you will definitely have a great reward!"

Xia Tong asked Chunlan to grab a handful of golden gourd seeds for him, "Thank you for your hard work, Bao."

She remembered that the real name of the "little monkey" was called Hou Abao - such a simple word, it was difficult to forget it.

But Abao was flattered, and happily put the golden gourd seeds into his arms, and kowtowed heavily at her.

Xia Tong ordered him to get up, then stood up and asked, "Do you have any other explanations?"

As usual, it is almost time for the emperor to pass the message.

Abao shook his head, "The master only ordered the villain to bring the rewards, and no other mentions."

It seems that the emperor is too lazy to summon her to serve today. This is fine, Xia Tong can be loose.

I read a few books on the outside of the palace and carefully studied the fire-proofing pictures pressed under the pillow - I am not afraid of ten thousand, but I am afraid of anything.

After ending the sky like this, it was almost dusk. Xia Tong was thinking about whether to continue to eat at Li Mi's place or to break his stinginess. He went to the imperial kitchen to order a few good dishes. Before she could make a decision, An Ruhai's loud voice outside had already sounded, "Your Majesty is here."

Speaking of which, it is not easy for a eunuch to have such a good voice.

Xia Tong hurriedly got off the couch, hurriedly prepared her makeup and went out to greet her, "Welcome to the emperor."

This was the first time Liu Zhang came to Roufu Palace. He looked disgusted. He thought the gate of the hall was too small, the flowers and trees in the courtyard were too messy, and there were still some uncleaned melon shells and fruit peels on the ground. Is it because Xia was so lazy on weekdays?

Xia Tong saw his gaze and said guiltily: "I am planning to clean up the fortune, but you suddenly came - why don't you tell me in advance?"

I thought I could take a good vacation, but the head teacher suddenly came to visit my home, and Xia Tongsen felt that she had returned to her student days.

So sad ~

Liu Zhang patted the gray that did not exist on his collar and raised his handsome face: "Why can't I come? All the world belongs to me."

Yes, you are so powerful. Xia Tong quickly admitted his defeat and personally helped the emperor into the hall, pressed him onto a chair of the Grand Master, and ordered Qiuju to pour tea.

However, as the emperor did not use the things in her palace, Xia Tong only asked someone to make a cup of old tea from last year - the new tea has not been opened yet, so there is no need to worry.

Anyway, the emperor has always been tactful, and no matter how good the tea leaves are, they taste like wax.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang picked up his mouth and frowned, "Is this the tea from a few years ago? It smells of mold!"

Xia Tong:tot

I quickly asked the maid to change her tea. Why did this person always not play according to the routine? She was frightened by serving her.

Liu Zhang waved his hand in disgust, "Forget it, I understand that there is no good tea in the palace."

Xia Tong: “…”

I know you still asked, isn’t this intentional trouble?

If you don’t drink tea, then you’ll have a meal. Liu Zhang asked An Ruhai, “It’s almost time. Will dinner from the imperial kitchen be delivered?”

Xia Tong thought he would leave, but the man slapped his knees and said, "Forget it, I will have a meal with Meiren Xia today so that the kitchen will be free from trouble."

Xia Tong was busy as soon as she heard this. She was not afraid of eating with the emperor. But the problem was that she had no good food here! She would not be able to treat customers slowly afterwards?

Xia Tong asked Chunlan to go to Li Mi's place to fight the autumn wind, and no matter what, braised pork skewers, they would give it a handful of roasted pork ribs, otherwise it would be embarrassing to see it all.

Liu Zhang said coldly: "Why, are you still afraid that I will steal your stuff?"

I have never seen such a petty and a dish or two, but I was afraid that people would take it. I would borrow it from other places to perfunctorily. Does he think he is so greedy?

Xia Tong: “…”

She was wronged!

Forget it, the emperor wanted to ask for trouble, and Xia Tong was too lazy to take care of other people's appetite, so he gave up on himself and asked Chunlan to go to the imperial kitchen to get food.

When the food box was delivered, Liu Zhang was shocked to see the stir-fried hearts in the bowl, cold rice rice, stewed three-spark, etc.

The most fleshy one is a spinach pig red soup. There are not many pieces of pig red, and the soup is poured out.

Liu Zhang picked up a chopstick of spinach and looked at it for a while, and said in surprise: "Do you usually eat this kind of thing?"

No wonder she was born so slim, which shows that she didn't look like a person with a loss of appetite!

Xia Tong was too lazy to cover up the imperial kitchen and said honestly: "It's not just me, but everyone uses the same thing."

To be precise, they are the newcomers who have just entered the palace and are not familiar with the place. They have no way to go and need to save money, so they naturally have no intention of making some money.

Liu Zhang was silent and called An Ruhai, "I remember that the amount of money allocated to the imperial kitchen every month is more than a mere amount."

An Ruhai wiped his sweat. The emperor wouldn't have suspected that he had enough money? God felt sorry for him. Even if he wanted to save a coffin, he wouldn't be so ugly in terms of face! Who has he become?

An Ruhai thought for a moment and understood, and smiled and said, "Although there is a lot of money, the dishes in the imperial kitchen are only a little bit. Some people order more, and some people order less. The distribution is uneven. This is also impossible."

Although the words are obscure, the meaning is very clear - who can control the imperial kitchen to deduct the prestigious girl's food, besides Concubine Jiang?

Concubine Jiang may not have much bad intentions, but she just wanted to give the newcomer a warning, but she shouldn't have hit the emperor's nose, but it's not good to end now.

Liu Zhang sneered, "I gave her a throne, which made her have many ambitions."

An Ruhai stood aside and pretended to be mute. At this time, it was not appropriate to add fuel to the fire or settle the matter. He was not willing to offend either of the emperor or the imperial concubine.

Xia Tong also wanted to try to reduce her presence, but the emperor asked her, "Since you are suffering, why don't you explain it to me earlier?"

Xia Tong thought to myself, how dare I take the imperial concubine's eye medicine? Besides, even if I suffer unfair treatment, the emperor will not do anything to the imperial concubine. Besides, there is still the empress dowager.

Today is just a mistake.

Xia Tong said in a divine manner: "I keep my stomach and I can have a great time in Qianyuan Palace. Look at me, I eat sweetly, don't my appetite be better?"

Liu Zhang: "..." It seems to be true.

An Ruhai looked at Xia Tong with admiration. What an eloquent and clever person!

In terms of the ability to flatter, Master Xia recognized the second place, but no one dared to recognize the first place.

Although Li Mi said that, she was stabbing her in the heart, but she knew better who was the one who embarrassed her. Feng Yuzhen glared at Xia Tong fiercely, "It's just a blind cat hitting a dead mouse. Don't think you can be lucky every time!"

I wish I could take her face and take a closer look, "I really don't understand, how could Your Majesty look at you?"
