"You really should know your mistake. Concubinage is strictly prohibited in the harem. Is this how you manage my harem?!"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Junze continued, "The queen is not strict in her rule and has failed in her management. She will be punished with one month's imprisonment and a fine of one year's monthly salary!"

"Yes, I thank the emperor for his grace!"

Although Ning Wan'er was very angry about the result, she felt relieved instantly when she thought that Yu Zhaoyi's child was gone.

After finishing the work here, Chu Junze stood up and said to Eunuch Xi: "Go to the Purple Palace!"

"Your Majesty is here to see him off respectfully!"

Only after everyone had left the Qionghua Palace did the young eunuchs seal the gate of the Palace in accordance with the emperor's orders.

On the way back, Su Qianqian and Zi Yan were both silent.

Although Su Qianqian watched a drama, she was not very happy in her heart, because she knew that Yu Zhaoyi was not pregnant at all, so there was no such thing as Chunxi murdering the royal heir, and her crime did not deserve the death penalty.

At this time, Xiao Shunzi was in the small kitchen watching two cooks making snacks, and also arranging dinner for his mother.

When the two of them walked back to Cuizhuxuan, they saw Eunuch Xi coming towards them.

"This old servant pays his respects to Empress Fu Zhaoyi. The Emperor has something for me to convey to her!" Eunuch Xi said to her with a smile on his face.

"Please don't be polite, eunuch. It's troublesome for you to come here in person. Please follow me in and we'll talk."

While speaking, Su Qianqian made a "please" gesture to him.

Seeing her so polite, especially when she was always courteous and respectful to him, he couldn't help but feel very satisfied.

After entering the hall, Su Qianqian immediately ordered: "Zi Yan, serve tea!"

"Yes, I'll go right away!" Zi Yan said, and went out to serve tea.

Eunuch Xi looked at her from behind and said with a smile, "This maidservant of your majesty has a very lively personality."

"Yes, Zi Yan has been with me since she was a child. Although she is a little lively and erratic, she is very kind and loyal!"

"Well, that's good! By the way, the emperor asked me to tell you that the maid Chunxi has been sent out of the palace. The emperor also asked me to give her some money, enough for her to live outside.

The emperor also said that he would not kill innocent people, so please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

After he finished speaking, Su Qianqian was stunned for a moment. She really didn't expect that Chu Junze, as the king of a country, could actually do this.

It was obvious that when he looked at her before leaving, he must have seen the sadness in her eyes, so he asked Eunuch Xi to come and tell her about this.

Su Qianqian became happier the more she thought about it, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

Eunuch Xi looked at the dimples on her face and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "So it turns out that the emperor likes this kind of Miss Su!"

When she is not smiling, this young lady is like a fairy from heaven, as if she is not affected by worldly affairs, noble and cold!

But when she smiles, she is like the spring breeze in February, as if she can make people see the flowers blooming in the next second!

Now that he thought about it, he finally understood why she was targeted by other concubines as soon as she entered the palace, and even the queen used despicable means against her.

The purpose was to prevent her from being seen by the emperor. What's worse, Xu Da Ying, who is still under house arrest, actually dared to kill her directly!

"I have delivered your message. I will not bother you any more. I will take my leave now!"

After delivering the message and carefully examining the appearance of Concubine Fu Zhaoyi on behalf of the Emperor and Empress Xiao, the purpose of his trip was considered accomplished.

"Okay, then please tell the emperor that I will cook for you tonight and thank you for everything you have done!"

"Okay, Madam, don't worry, I will definitely bring it to you!"

After seeing off Eunuch Xi, Su Qianqian immediately went to the small kitchen.

Since she had agreed to cook tonight, she had to make him a special meal.

"I will cook dinner myself today. You two can just help me wash the vegetables and watch the fire later!"

Hearing her words, the two cooks immediately knelt down and said, "You absolutely cannot do this, Madam! How can you, a precious body, do the work of servants?

Look, how about this, you tell me what you want to eat, and I will prepare it for you, okay?"

"It's alright, the two of you just need to follow my instructions. I'm going to cook my specialty tonight, so don't worry!"

The two cooks looked at each other and couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, "Why does it feel like the more they talk, the less reliable it is?"

"Now, all of you please go out. I need to prepare a little bit. This is my private secret recipe, so I can't show it to you!"

What Su Qianqian said actually meant that she wanted to replace all the ingredients here with those in her space, especially the vegetables, of which she already had quite a few.

"Your Majesty, can Zi Yan stay and help you?" Zi Yan asked truthfully.

After all, this is how they cooperated when they were still in the prime minister's residence. There was no other way. The unfavored daughter of the prime minister lived worse than the servants in the mansion. She was forced to learn how to cook at that time.

"Good Zi Yan, be obedient. I'm ready and will let you all come in. Don't worry!"

Zi Yan naturally believed in her own wife's cooking skills. After all, they had lived and eaten together for so many years.

So in the end Zi Yan compromised: "Okay then, let's all go out!"

After they went out together, Su Qianqian immediately closed the door of the small kitchen, and then a thought flashed into the space, and she quickly replaced all the vegetables in the kitchen with those grown in the space.

Then she went to the second floor of the space building (which was the floor where the supplies were stored after she raided the entire supermarket), took a lot of seasonings, and then slipped out.

Then she put everything in the kitchen in order, opened the door and said to the people outside: "Okay, come in, it's time to work!"

Hearing this, Xiao Shunzi and Zi Yan walked in quickly. The two cooks were a few steps behind them and followed in.

Su Qianqian said, "Please both of you kill a chicken for me, and take care of the fish. Ziyan, you and Shunzi, wash the vegetables on the chopping board here, and I'll go and knead some dough!"

"Yes, I will go right away!"

For a moment, the small kitchen became busy. Everyone did their job and started working in an orderly manner according to Su Qianqian's arrangements.

At this time, Chu Junze in the Zichen Hall felt a warm feeling in his heart after listening to Eunuch Xi's report.

Even his mother had never cooked for him in the past. Although she wanted to, her father always felt sorry for her mother at that time, so he never gave her the opportunity to cook for him.

In fact, Chu Junze understood that the excuses his father made at that time were just because he was jealous of him.

He just didn't want his beloved wife to cook for someone else, even if that someone was his own son!

But now, he no longer has to envy his father, because he also has a wife who cooks for him!
