Xiyue Rebirth: The Palace Reads My Heart and Treats the Madness of Yi Syndrome

Chapter 100: Too much bird's nest will lose its delicious taste

Hongli was originally feeling extremely comfortable under Wei Yanwan's service, but when he turned around, he saw Ruyi who had come uninvited. His dissatisfaction had already overflowed from his eyes. This Ruyi always disregarded the rules and ran in so recklessly.

Ruyan automatically ignored Hongli's disgust in her mind. Until today, she still believes that Hongli was just joking with her and acting in front of outsiders.

This is the unique interest between them as a couple. Brother Hongli has a heavy burden and is under a lot of pressure. She is never willing to make things difficult for Brother Hongli.

In fact, the friendship between the two of them is simply incomparable to that of other people, otherwise, Hongli would not have done it openly in front of others, and now he has quietly promoted her.

As for the lack of an enthronement ceremony, that was not important at all. What she wanted was Hongli's sincerity, not any position.

"Is it not the right time for me to come?"

A mean look appeared on Ruyan's thin and long eyebrows, his pouting lips were almost turned up to the sky, the corners of his eyes were drooping, and his face was stern, looking as hateful as if he had caught an adulterer in bed.

Not only did Hongli feel that Ruyan came here deliberately to spoil his mood, but even Wei Yanwan felt extremely uncomfortable all over.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you being so sarcastic?"

Hongli frowned deeply. Was he the emperor or was Ruyan the emperor? Now he finally understood. Wasn't it that Ruyan wanted to override his imperial power?

Seeing Wei Yanwan standing aside obediently, Hongli changed his expression to one of concern, "Yanwan, you are a noble after all, why are you afraid of a maid for no reason?"

Later, he would have to go and ask who was so bold as to let Ruyan in without permission!

Jinzhong has always been prudent in his work and he would definitely not do such a thing.

Could it be... Li Yu?

Wei Yanwan immediately smiled and took a porcelain bowl from Chunchan's hand, and respectfully placed it in front of Hongli, "This is the bird's nest soup that I made myself, I wonder if it suits the emperor's taste."

Hongli liked drinking bird's nest soup the most. Wei Yanwan's action was just what he wanted, and his unhappiness caused by Ruyan just now was swept away. "You are thoughtful."

When Ruyan came to see Hongli, she specially changed into her favorite dark purple Manchu dress and pinned her favorite big red rose on her head. She still felt that it was not enough, so she even piled her hair full of pearls and jade, for fear that others would not know how many jewelry she had, thinking of her so much. She ran over happily, but unexpectedly she still saw such an eye-catching scene.

However, even though her heart was still bleeding, she still shamelessly approached with what she thought was a kind smile, "Your Excellency has always been the best at using strange tricks and cunning tricks. Can I see what you are thinking?"

"What's so special about this? Do you need to come all the way to see it?"

Hongli found it very strange. "It's just an ordinary bird's nest. Have you never eaten it before?"

Ruyan ignored Hongli's words and just kept on talking sourly, "I just wanted to see if your noble lady had put some vermicelli or something in there to make up the dish."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Wei Yanwan's puzzled expression, "How could Concubine Xian think of using vermicelli instead of bird's nest to make soup for the emperor? Isn't this a crime of deceiving the emperor? Your Majesty, I used three taels of bird's nest to make this bowl of bird's nest. How could it be a shoddy act?"

Hiss...three taels of bird's nest?

Ruyan's heart hurts so much~!

She hasn't eaten bird's nest for several years, let alone three or two taels of bird's nest?

Wei Yanwan is such a wasteful person and doesn't know how to manage the household at all.

After hearing this, Ruyan seemed to have caught Wei Yanwan's handle. She quickly said, "Three taels of bird's nest? Your Excellency is really generous! You must know that bird's nest is a luxurious thing. If you eat too much, it will lose its delicious taste. It can be cooked lightly and slowly. Never mix it with meat, fish, or greasy food to avoid it overshadowing the main dish."

Wei Yanwan stroked her forehead in silence, "Don't you know, Concubine Xian, that the Emperor always eats bird's nests as a condiment, and meat is the main food. He loves meat, and the greasier the stew, the better?"

Ruyan's eyes were filled with disbelief. She said disdainfully, "Your Majesty has always been unscrupulous in order to climb up the social ladder. Does that mean that what you say is the truth? How could the Emperor do such a foolish thing?"

"That's enough, Ruyan! How dare you say that I'm stupid! I think you've lost your mind now! If you can't afford to eat bird's nest, just stay away quietly. Why come here to make trouble?"

Hongli was furious. "Your Highness is right. I like greasy bird's nests the most. Everyone in the palace knows this. You are the only one who doesn't know. How dare you come to me and point fingers at me? Ruyan, you are so narrow-minded. You should just hide in a hole in the ground. Why do you have to run in front of the crowd and act like a human being?"

Ruyan looked at Hongli with a hurt face. He scolded her again. Especially in front of Wei Yanwan, who was a palace maid. How dare he scold her like that?

Yes, Brother Hongli must be afraid of the Sizhiku behind Wei Yanwan, who was born as a palace maid, and is afraid that all the palace maids in the palace will go on strike and stop working. That's why Brother Hongli is afraid of Wei Yanwan.

As the saying goes, beating is love and scolding is care. Brother Hongli is doing this for her own good.

Wei Yanwan knew that Ruyan was most jealous of Fucha Langya, so she would not let go of this heart-wrenching opportunity in vain. "When I was serving the Queen, she always taught me step by step, telling me to follow the Emperor's preferences. Even if I didn't know how to do something, as long as the Emperor liked it, I would ask questions without hesitation and work hard to learn."

This one sentence made Hongli confused again.

Hongli was also very satisfied, "You were taught by the Queen herself, so naturally you are very much to my liking."

That's it!

The fire of jealousy in Ruyan's eyes was about to burn her into charcoal. No wonder Fu Cha Langya had always been favored by the emperor. It turned out that he had been secretly cultivating Wei Yanwan, a seductive and troublesome person, to consolidate his favor.

Even if they told her about their plan, she would not bother to do it.

Ru Yan didn't have that kind of insight. She continued to stand there with a blank expression, "Oh, I didn't know it was the Queen who suggested it."

In fact, she also wanted to taste the greasy bird's nest for herself. She still remembered the last time she ate greasy food was when she first entered the cold palace and ate rice with lard. However, after she ate it a few times, she suddenly became very thin.

However, no matter how much he wanted to, Hongli would never let a low-class concubine share his stew.

So Ruyan waited until her feet were numb, but Hongli did not say anything about rewarding her with a bowl of soup. Instead, Hongli deliberately pulled Wei Yanwan to taste the spicy and fishy bird's nest together. Ruyan looked at them carefully and became even more greedy.

The bird's nest soup even contained boneless duck slices...
