C15 (1/2)
Staring at the pill in his hand, the expression in his eyes became fervent, but Imperial Consort Lan was completely shocked.
There were two things she hoped to get help from the Great Deity Official. The first was naturally regarding the breeding of draconic species, if she could not get a definite answer, then she would have to seek a secondary hope to maintain her appearance for a long time.
What was the difference between Dian En breaking and being beaten into a cold palace?
”Empress!”
Seeing that Imperial Consort Lan had walked down the mountain road safely, Begonia and Xi Yan, who were waiting at the foot of the mountain, finally relaxed back into their stomach. They immediately went up to her and surrounded her on both sides, Xi Yan could not help but ask, ”Empress, Empress, has there been a set day for Your Eminence? ”What did you say?”
In contrast to Xi Yan's impulsive curiosity, the transvestite noticed that the Imperial Consort Lan was a little distracted. Her clear, orchid like face had a tinge of heaviness to it and her expression may be as calm as water, but the constantly changing light in her eyes revealed the intense turmoil in her heart.
”Empress, what's wrong? Is there something on your mind? ”
”I'm fine.”
Imperial Consort Lan forced a smile, ”Let's go back.”
Xi Yan still wanted to ask, but Imperial Consort Lan had already led the way, while Begonia had already caught up, so she could only suppress the doubts in her heart.
Xi Yan walked a few steps forward, and followed beside Esteemed Empress Lan, smiling as she said: ”As usual, the emperor will be staying the night at our Blue Mist Palace, what does the Empress want to eat tonight, this servant will also be able to order you, so get the imperial kitchens to prepare quickly.”
”No need. The emperor likes to eat the osmanthus cake I made the most. Have the kitchens prepare it. I'll cook it myself tonight.”
”Yes sir!” Xi Yan was beaming with joy. Although the emperor loved to eat the osmanthus cake made by the Empress, the Empress rarely made any moves on it.
Begonia also smiled and said, ”Then this servant will be the Empress' assistant.”
As the three of them walked, they chatted. From the matching dishes of tonight to the picture of a mandarin duck on the embroidery cloth, their chat became more and more limitless.
After passing by the Jade Dew Hall, Xi Yan suddenly pointed to the front and shouted, ”Hey, Young Eunuch Qing!”
Qing An held his hands together, and stood at the entrance of the Jade Dew Hall. He was talking to Fang Chun, and his waist was slightly bent, showing a respectful manner without leaving a trace.
”This servant will go ask the Young Eunuch Qing and see when the emperor will come to our Blue Mist Palace tonight!”
”Sigh …” The Imperial Consort Lan did not have the time to stop him, as Xi Yan had already ran over.
They were already not far from the entrance of the Jade Dew Hall. Xi Yan had only jogged four or five steps when she arrived in front of Qing An, and heard Qing An instructing him in a warm tone, ”After the emperor has finished reading the imperial reports, you should be there at the Shennong ceremony. Remember to prepare dinner in time. It is a very hot day, so I asked the kitchenette to prepare a bowl of ice plum juice for the emperor to drink. ”
Xi Yan heard these words loud and clear, even the Imperial Consort Lan behind her heard them clearly.
Imperial Consort Lan staggered a little. In Star Palace, words that she deliberately forgot, ignored, and did not want to believe, floated up in her mind.
Great Deity Official's voice came from the bottom of her heart. It sounded ethereal, real yet illusory.
— After today, you will be pampered.
— — Within the harem, when someone soars into the sky, the day you need to regain your Emperor's favor is the day you get what you want.
Imperial Consort Lan was in a trance, as if she could hear Xi Yan's furious question, ”Young Eunuch Qing! According to the rules, the Emperor should be in our Esteemed Empress Lan Palace today, there is no way he would be in Jade Dew Hall! ”
”Esteemed Empress Lan.” Qing An turned around, and first gave a slight bow to the Imperial Consort Lan as a form of courtesy. Then, he warmly said, ”As usual, today is indeed the day the Blue Mist Palace will take its leave. But as for which palace the Emperor is resting at, we can only obey the orders of the servants. I beg Esteemed Empress Lan to bear more of this. ”
”You!” Xi Yan was so angry that in the blink of an eye, she had already seen Fang Chun, who was standing to the side quietly, with a pleased expression that was not a smile on her face, and was even more so depressed to the point of death.
Eunuch Qing An was, after all, an important person to the Emperor by his side. All the palace maids had to curry favor with him for the sake of their empress, and once he said a few words to their emperor, their empress would feel more respect for him than anyone else.
Xi Yan did not dare to get angry at Qing An, but Fang Chun was nothing in her eyes.
However, just as she was about to curse a few sentences at Fang Chun to vent her anger, she heard Imperial Consort Lan speaking in a daze from behind her. ”Xi Yan, let's return to the palace.”
Even if he did not want to admit it, even if he chose to ignore it, that imperial edict that would replace the payment for the future. The facts were in front of him tonight, and it would be difficult for Imperial Consort Lan to continue deceiving herself.
After today, when he had become pampered, the Imperial Consort Qiong would be the person to soar into the sky.
