Queen's Physician

"She is in our hands, why don't we hold her hostage and force those people to hand over Yiyang City."

It's not that Fu Yanyu didn't think of Dong Yue's idea, it's just that she can't use such a dirty trick, "Let's think of a way, there are always loopholes, but we haven't discovered it yet."

The situation in the capital is extremely strange, Li Qisheng stationed troops without fighting, the emperor hid in the imperial city and could not come out, only Li Hanyong who was on the outskirts seemed like a fish in water, but in just a few months, he had captured dozens of cities one after another, It can be said that the spring breeze is proud.

Under the dim candlelight, the emperor's old face flickered, and Yichen served tea, which was so weak that he could barely smell it. ring.

Yichen lowered his eyes, and replied respectfully: "The tea leaves for tribute have already been used up, these are prepared by the old slave earlier."

The emperor's face trembled invisibly, the hand holding the chess piece trembled, and the chess piece was placed a little bit off. Seeing that the white chess's good situation was ruined by himself, the emperor laughed, "Show me Go to the queen's palace and have a look, there are many good things there, maybe there is also good tea to drink."

It was the empress again, and Yichen noticed that the emperor had been visiting the empress more and more recently. It could even be said that the emperor had not been to the concubines in the harem except the empress since he was besieged.

Many things come naturally, the queen has been ecstatic and cautious at the beginning, and now she is used to it, and the emperor comes to her to put it bluntly, just to eat and drink.When she heard that the little eunuch had sent the letter ahead of time, the queen was a little worried. You said that there are dozens if not hundreds of beauties in the harem, and there are no less than twenty high-ranking beauties. Why do you always come to her?On normal days, the empress is happy, but now it is different, the harem lacks food and clothing, but the emperor always comes to her.Not to mention the delicious food and drink, the emperor always took one or two things with him when he left, like a child.This is rare once or twice, but it can't resist the emperor's frequent visits every day.

The queen swung the eunuch back with a big head, countless impossibles flashed through her mind, and finally sighed, she had to accept her fate.

"The emperor is here" the eunuch's sharp voice pierced the air, making the queen a little upset, but she had to pretend to be virtuous and virtuous.

"The courtiers and concubines see the emperor, and the emperor is blessed and safe."

The emperor stretched out his hand to support the empress, "There is no need to be polite, has the empress eaten?"

"Going back to the emperor, the concubine and others have already used it. I am planning to visit Concubine Shu, and I heard that Concubine Shu's younger sister has been ill recently." The queen remained calm, thinking that the emperor is not a fool, and should understand what she said.

"Concubine Shu is sick?" the emperor sat on the couch and said so, but he didn't seem to get up at all.The queen wondered, didn't she love Concubine Shu very much before, Concubine Shu liked to eat oranges, so she forced someone to plant a large orange tree, but it was not the place where oranges grew, and it cost a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. The orange trees were dead, and the ones that didn't die didn't bear many oranges, and the sour ones couldn't eat them at all.

"The empress is distracted, what are you thinking?" The emperor found that the recent empress was getting more and more distracted. Could it be that his sense of existence is so low?

"The emperor won't go to see Concubine Shu?"

The emperor laughed, "Is it possible that the queen is short of food but drank instead?"

The emperor asked the question knowingly, and the empress did not come here. This is not the case in the old days when you were hypocritical. At this time, you have face but can't give anything. It is better to be honest.

"Hey" the emperor sighed, "Even the queen's place is empty, it seems that the harem is really empty."

"How does the emperor say such a thing? Look inside and outside the imperial city, which palace has more things than the emperor!" The queen glanced at the emperor, and scolded the eighteen generations of the emperor's ancestors in her heart.You can’t think of me when it’s delicious and delicious, and I’ve saved all the food and drink, and now you come and eat it all for me, and you still say these sarcastic remarks.

The emperor is not an idiot, the queen's words have reached this point, the emperor stood up from the couch, "Let's go, let's go see Concubine Shu." It's not bad to look at the concubine's place, and it's not bad to eat Longjing and sparrow tongue.

Concubine Shu's illness is an old one. She is not sick, but she has a personality that is more than three points when she is sick.Seeing the emperor coming over, the disease immediately recovered by three points, but there was an empress behind him, the smile on that face hadn't fully unfolded, and it faded a lot.

After some vulgar ceremony, the queen stood aside, while the emperor went to sit on the edge of the bed, holding Concubine Shu's hand, talking nonsense about making you suffer, and waiting for reinforcements to clear the rebels and compensate them. .When the queen snorted, she heard the emperor say, "After all this talk, why is there no one serving tea?"

Concubine Shu was startled, these servant girls were almost dead, they didn't even have the basic etiquette, but the emperor was here, so he couldn't get angry, so he suppressed his anger and said: "I still don't want to make the white tea that the emperor gave me."

The eldest mother got the order and hurried to make two bowls of tea.

Xu Shi hadn't had such delicious tea for a long time, and the emperor lost his appetite and drank three bowls in a row.The empress is quite used to it, and she has seen the emperor like this a lot recently, but it was the first time for Concubine Shu to see the emperor like this, and she asked with concern: "What's wrong with the emperor? Why do you drink so much tea?"

The emperor was taken aback for a moment, and he forcibly retracted the tea bowl that had been stretched out to his mouth, and said with a sneer, "Maybe I ate salty lunch."

It was salty when I ate lunch. Do you feel salty now that it is almost dinner time?

Thinking of dinner, Concubine Shu felt that it was an opportunity to stay with the emperor for dinner, and then see if she could stay with the emperor for a night.Do the math, how long has it been since the emperor flipped his own brand.Looking at the queen sitting on a low stool beside her, Concubine Shu felt that something was wrong.

Seeing that it was time for dinner after chatting for a while, the emperor had no intention of leaving, and concubine Shu couldn't hold back her face and couldn't drive the emperor away, so she politely asked the emperor if he wanted to eat here, how could he know that the emperor was right there? Pretend.

"It's been a long time since I ate anything from Concubine Shu's small kitchen. I don't think the Empress should go back, just eat some at Concubine Shu's place! Food and drink are tight in the palace, so save as much as you can."

The queen was sullen, unable to see any expression.

In the small kitchen, because the emperor came, three dishes and one soup were prepared with extra care.

The empress ate quietly, and the emperor glanced at her most of the time, but she should eat and drink, and the empress didn't say a word of nonsense.Concubine Shu looked at the emperor and empress in confusion, they both felt that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, come and have a bowl of soup." Concubine Shu brought the old hen stewed soup to the emperor. The soup was really good, but it was different now, what kind of soup to eat, it would be better to have a chicken drumstick.As the emperor thought about it, he saw a chicken leg being taken out of the soup basin. With three strokes, the nanny removed the chicken on top and brought it to the queen, "Your Majesty."

"Yeah" the queen snorted softly, put down the bowl in her hand, poked the chicken with gold-painted chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, chewed it a little and swallowed it, "Concubine Shu's small kitchen The dishes are quite good, although there is a lack of this or that in the palace now, but the craftsmanship of the master is really not bad."

Where does Concubine Shu have the empress's thoughts, she really thought that the empress was praising her, and she couldn't hide the joy on her face, "If the empress likes it, eat more."

"Okay." The queen was not polite, took a few more mouthfuls, and then said with emotion: "It would be great if the chefs in my palace could be half as good as yours."

Concubine Shu was stunned now, did she have a crush on the cook in her palace?It's not good for the queen to imply that she doesn't express it!He said: "If the empress likes the cook in my palace, let the empress choose."

When the queen heard this, Concubine Shu was heading towards her own way of thinking, she put down the chopsticks in her hand and said: "Concubine Shu can't do such a thing if I want to cut off my love, how about this, I'll let someone take the leftover chicken back Give it to the cook in my little kitchen, and let him think about it."

Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that she just wanted a chicken, and it wasn't anything valuable, so the queen gave it to her if she wanted it!

The corner of the emperor's mouth slanted, and the muscles on his face trembled twice, and he couldn't help but secretly cast aside in his heart that the mother of a country would do this in order to order something to eat.

He is full after eating, and the things he wants are coming, so the emperor can do whatever he likes, anyway, she is not her own emperor.After thinking about it, the queen got up gracefully, "It's getting late, and I'm tired, thank you Concubine Shu for the dinner, I'll go back first."

Concubine Shu smiled, and respectfully sent the queen away, but she never thought that the emperor would leave in the next second under the pretext of being busy with state affairs.

Concubine Shu stared blankly at the empty room, it was obviously full of people just a moment ago, how could she be left alone in the blink of an eye?

The queen and her servants were walking on the way back to the palace with delicious chicken soup, feeling happy in their hearts, such a big, fat and fragrant chicken, no matter what, it can be beaten to the teeth.The emperor has eaten up her recently, and she will follow the example of the emperor in the future, going to the palaces to sweep up and eat up the palaces.

The queen with great ideas returned to the palace and immediately divided the big fat chicken.She kept the chicken legs, and shared some chicken breast and chicken soup with a nanny who served her and the two maids who were close to her. Chicken, there is not much chicken left, and the chicken bones are distributed to the remaining girls and eunuchs.

After finishing the distribution, the emperor came, and without further ado, he picked up the chicken legs in the blue and white porcelain bowl on the table and started chewing.The queen just looked at it coldly, she didn't intend to eat this chicken leg at first, she already knew that the emperor would not let this chicken leg go, now Kailai's guess was right.

After eating the chicken legs, the emperor touched his greasy mouth and exclaimed, "It's still the queen's frugality, which can be described as a model in the palace. From now on, the concubines in the palace must follow the example of the queen. It's hard to think about eating and porridge."

The queen twitched her lips, "I heard that the concubine Xian of Yunshu Palace is not in good health, does the emperor want to go see the concubine Xian with his concubine tomorrow?"

"Is the concubine Xian not feeling well?" The emperor was a little taken aback, did he really feel that the empress was addicted to eating and drinking?But from time to time, the emperor was still very satisfied with the queen's proposal, "Then I'll sleep with the queen today, and when we get up tomorrow, we'll go to Concubine Xian's."

The corner of the Queen's mouth twitched again, and she cursed in her heart, Your Majesty, don't you want to eat three meals at Concubine Xian's place?
