Chapter 25 Who doesn’t know how to pretend to be a green tea?
Half an hour later.
Concubine Xian walked out slowly from the Qianqing Palace with a satisfied smile on her face.
"Your concubine pays homage to Her Majesty the Virtuous Concubine." Lu Qingqing paid her respects respectfully.
Her voice was gentle and soft, like the chirping of an oriole in a mountain stream, and one could recognize her voice at the first hearing.
"Mr. Lu, please stand up."
After she stood up, Concubine Xian's eyes were unconsciously attracted by her appearance and she was stunned for a moment.
No wonder the emperor loves her so much!
Even though it's not the first time I see her, I am always shocked by her exquisite appearance.
Her skin is as white as snow, her long eyelashes tremble slightly like crow feathers, and her dark eyes are lively and affectionate, making people unable to help but sink into them.
The virtuous concubine felt a little alert. Although she was so beautiful, fortunately she came from a humble family and was just a little palace maid.
She was confident that her noble birth, as a lady of a high-class family, well-educated and well-mannered, made her a perfect match for the emperor.
The emperor is a wise ruler and will certainly not be obsessed with beauty.
However, as a man, it is understandable that he would occasionally favor new people for the sake of novelty.
If he was really a foolish and lustful person, he would not have ascended the throne during the chaos of nine princes fighting for the throne.
She firmly believed in Li Xuansheng's political ability and self-control, just as she believed in her own position in the emperor's heart.
"Lady Lu, have you been waiting outside the palace for a long time? I have been discussing the procedures for the Emperor's birthday festival with you, and we have been talking for so long without realizing it. Lady Lu, you won't blame me, right?"
The virtuous concubine deliberately told Lu Qingqing about the discussion of the procedures for the Wanshou Festival, just to let her know that having beauty alone is useless, as the power of the harem is in her own hands.
Lu Qingqing was neither angry nor annoyed and always maintained a decent smile.
With her extremely intelligent mind, she immediately understood the meaning of Concubine Xian's words.
The Wanshou Festival was a grand event in the palace, and its priority was certainly far above hers. Even if Concubine Xian stayed in the Qianqing Palace for a longer time, she would never show any dissatisfaction.
It’s just that Concubine Xian pretended to be afraid of being blamed by her. This is really putting the blame on someone else, how ridiculous!
Who doesn't know how to use tea words to pretend to be green tea? !
Although Lu Qingqing was a little dull in modern times, now that she was in the harem, she didn't mind letting herself go and talking in a domineering manner as long as her life was not endangered.
"Your Highness, you are embarrassing me by saying this. How dare I blame you?"
"Your Majesty, you have made good plans and have worked hard for the Wanshou Festival. You look a little tired. You should pay more attention to rest."
Lu Qingqing deliberately lowered her delicate face and stroked the handle of the food box with her delicate hands, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"I am not as wise as Your Majesty, and I cannot share His Majesty's worries. I only have the thoughts of a little girl, and I just want to present the snacks I made myself to His Majesty."
In this long speech, she praised Concubine Xian as a virtuous woman.
Isn't she the one who loves to be in charge of the affairs of the six palaces? She is busy all day long, so it is normal for her complexion to become worse and worse.
Since Concubine Xian herself doesn't pay attention to her appearance and maintenance, don't blame others for being harsh in their words.
Concubine Xian was so angry that her teeth itched, but she still suppressed her anger, pretended to be magnanimous and remained elegant. Just as she was about to ridicule Lu Qingqing a few more times, she was interrupted by a voice coming from the palace.
Li Xuansheng was sitting in the hall. He wanted to wait for Concubine Xian to leave and then be alone for a while. After all, the rapid-fire introduction to the procedures of the Wanshou Festival had given him a headache.
However, people in the hall kept hearing the whispering voices coming from outside, which made them feel a little annoyed.
"He Qing, who's outside!?"
An impatient voice came from the palace, and Concubine Xian tactfully left.
He Qing hurried into the hall to report.
"Your Majesty, it was Consort Lu who came to pay her respects to you. She met Consort Xian who had just left the palace. The two ladies were talking outside the palace."
Li Xuansheng put down the booklet in his hand, his handsome brows slightly wrinkled, and he felt a little unhappy.
This young woman came to pay her respects to him, but why did she end up chatting with other concubines at the palace gate?
What, the topic of small talk is more attractive than him?
He signaled He Qing to invite Lu Qingqing into the Qianqing Palace, but in his heart he was secretly planning how to play a trick on her to ease his jealousy!
Lu Qingqing took light steps, holding an exquisite food box in her hand, and walked slowly forward.
Every time she came to the Qianqing Palace to pay her respects to Li Xuansheng, she always liked to bring one or two exquisite snacks. After so many times, Li Xuansheng naturally formed a habit, and he even felt a little bit of anticipation when he heard that it was her who came to pay her respects.
Conditioned reflex can be used on dogs, and naturally it can also be used on humans.
Lu Qingqing is adept at applying Pavlov's dog training principles.
The purpose of her visit today was to look for fragrance, so she specially made a snack with a special flavor to prevent multiple fragrances from mixing together and affecting her judgment.
"I send my regards to the Emperor. May the Emperor be blessed with peace and happiness."
Li Xuansheng narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at her with amusement.
Lu Qingqing was dressed in a plain and elegant dress, like a lily blooming in spring, fresh and refined, with her sleeves fluttering in the wind, as if even the air in the Qianqing Palace was tinged with a bit of freshness and elegance.
The bun is simple yet exquisite, with a few strands of hair left on the temples, adding a bit of agility and elegance.
Whenever Lu Qingqing appeared in front of Li Xuansheng, she would make sure that her clothes were appropriate, which not only brought out her beauty but also complemented the current situation.
In the hot summer, such fresh and beautiful makeup is refreshing.
"Get up, I was discussing something with Consort Xian just now, have you been waiting outside for a long time?"
Lu Qingqing stood up and walked forward, still placing the food box on the side of the desk, her movements gentle and graceful.
"Not long, not long. I just waited for more than half an hour."
Her soft tone was coquettish and charming, and she looked extremely adorable.
He clearly said that he didn't wait too long, but he insisted on emphasizing that he waited for more than half an hour.
This was done intentionally to let Li Xuansheng come to comfort her.
Such a little girl, but she has so many thoughts.
Li Xuansheng ignored her and just wanted to tease her. It was her fault for not coming in to see him the moment Concubine Xian went out.
"Qingqing really understands my feelings. She knows that I am hungry while handling government affairs. Let me see what delicious snacks I brought today?"
Having said that, he didn't even wait for Lu Qingqing to open the lunch box and just carried it directly in front of him.
However, she did not bring dessert today, but a pair of crispy fried Sichuan pepper chicken wings, in case the sweetness of the dessert interfered with the earthy sweetness she was looking for.
Li Xuansheng's hand hovered in the air as he opened the food box.
Although the dim sum Lu Qingqing brought was always exquisite and novel, he had basically eaten similar ones made in the imperial kitchen, so hers could only be considered unique.
But this pair of fried chicken wings really hit his culinary blind spot.
"This is?"
Li Xuansheng tilted his head.
A small emperor with big doubts.
Lu Qingqing prepared this spicy chicken wings just to give Li Xuansheng a little shock of modern cuisine, and she had already prepared the answer in her mind.
She looked shy and spoke in a clear voice.
"Your Majesty, these are the wings I specially made for you, expressing my love for you!"
