Emperor's Gift

"Please stand up, Eunuch Dong."

Lin Wanyi said politely. She was a little surprised by Dong Yuzhong's arrival.

She thought to herself that the emperor really knew how to choose the right time to send gifts.

She had just "caused" trouble in the Linzhi Palace, and now he was rushing to add fuel to the fire?

He really wanted to watch the fun.

But she only dared to think about these in her heart, and her face was still gentle and calm.

Dong Yuzhong waved his hand, and the two eunuchs who followed behind him brought up a brocade plate. There were no rare treasures on it, but two plates of ordinary side dishes for porridge.

Others were very surprised when they saw it, but Lin Wanyi was shocked.

Aren't these side dishes the two that went with the fish porridge last night?

At that time, she was embarrassed to use them. Could it be that the emperor had noticed, so he sent them to her today to let her taste them?

Seeing that everyone was stunned, Dong Yuzhong immediately explained.

"Your Majesty said that he saw that the young lady seemed to like it yesterday, so he specially sent it to you today to taste it. If you like it, let the imperial kitchen send it to you every now and then in the future."

In this palace, there are real gold and silver gifts, and there are also gifts of silk and satin. Even if it is to reward delicious food, it must be good things cooked over a slow fire. Two dishes of side dishes, I really don't know what your majesty means.

If you say it's a favor, it seems a bit embarrassing.

If you say it's not a favor, this is the first reward for the newly promoted concubines.

Mu Ying promised to suppress her curiosity and turned to look at Lin Wanyi beside her. She was calm and immediately said to Xiao Luzi.

"Your Majesty, I am very grateful for your kindness. Xiao Luzi, please accept it quickly."

"Yes, young lady."

"Now that the things have been delivered, the old servant will take his leave."

"Eunuch Dong, take care."

After saying that, she asked someone to send Dong Yuzhong out, and she sat at the table looking at the two dishes in front of her, and fell into memories.

Did she behave so obviously last night?

Or did the emperor do it on purpose to shock others? After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out.

Suddenly, she remembered what her father had said before she entered the palace, that His Majesty ascended the throne at a young age, and his thoughts were far beyond the reach of others. Instead of hiding it in front of him, it would be better to be honest, and perhaps she could get some peace of mind.

Thinking this way, she felt relieved about the two dishes.

"Sister, sister..."

Lin Wanyi was interrupted by Mu Da Ying's call. When she looked up at her again, she saw that her eyes were still as pure as when they first met.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, sister. I like to sleep in at home, but now I get up early in the palace, and I'm a little dazed now."

"In that case, sister, I won't bother you anymore. I'll come to talk to you another day."

"Okay, then you take your time."

"Don't worry, sister."

After sending Mu Da Ying away, Lin Wanyi breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing this, Xia An hurried forward to loosen her muscles and asked while massaging her.

"Isn't it too fast for the young lady to make friends with Mu Ying?"

Lin Wanyi knew exactly what Xia An meant.

"Don't worry, it's just a test. If everything she saw in my palace today is leaked tomorrow, then we will know how deep this person is."

So that's it.

"But what if the young lady Mu makes up stories outside and puts the young lady in an unjust position?" "She dare not, if she takes the imperial concubine into consideration, she dare not act rashly. At most, she will make up a few gossips." It's just gossip. She has heard countless kinds of it in the prime minister's mansion and it doesn't matter to her anymore.

After that, she instructed Chunqi.

"You should be more diligent these two days and find out if there are any rumors outside. Then we will naturally know whether the other party is a friend or a foe ."

"Don't worry, my lady, I will definitely handle this matter."

The three masters and servants are of one mind. They must be more careful every step they take in this palace, otherwise the imperial concubine may not be able to protect her tomorrow even if she can protect her today.

Speaking of the imperial concubine, Lin Wanyi thought of another thing.

So she pulled Xia An to her front and asked softly.

"How is my cold?"

"Why do you suddenly ask this, my lady?"

Then she took a deep look at Lin Wanyi, and when she saw her covering her lower abdomen, she understood it instantly.

So she looked around cautiously, and saw Chunqi standing at the door and nodded to them, and then she spoke in a low voice."My lady has been taking medicine for these years, and the cold symptoms have been relieved by about 70%. But if you want to get pregnant, you have to take good care of yourself for another two years."

"In that case, I will sleep with you..."

"My lady, don't worry. The medicine for treating cold symptoms contains contraceptive ingredients. It's not easy to get pregnant."

"That's good."

Lin Wanyi finally felt relieved.

"My lady, don't you want to have your own child?"

"It's not that I don't want to have one, but I don't want to have one now. The imperial concubine summoned me to the palace just to have a child. With my current ability, if I really get pregnant, I may not be able to protect myself and the child. It's better to have it later."

Xia An nodded after listening, thinking that her lady was sober.

So she took her pulse, closed her eyes and checked carefully, and after a while, ahe slowly spoke.

"My lady, don't worry, I'm here, and I will never let anything happen to you."

Lin held Xia An's hand, and then waved to Chunqi. Seeing that she also came over, the three masters and servants sat together and talked.

"It's not easy to live in peace in the palace, especially to keep your original intention. I have never thought of making enemies with others, but I don't want to be bullied. You are my closest people. I can protect you when you are at home, but I may not be able to do so in the palace. So you must be careful in what you do and say, understand?"

"Don't worry, my lady, the eldest lady has repeatedly told me before I entered the palace."

Chunqi nodded solemnly. Although she was lively and lively, she was not stupid. Naturally, she knew what to do and what to say.

Xia An was calm and steady, so she would be more careful about this matter.

After the master and servants talked in private for a while, they heard Xiao Luzi shouting outside again.

"My lady, Eunuch Pan from the Imperial Kitchen wants to see you."

Imperial Kitchen?

Eunuch Pan?

What is he doing here?

Could it be that they sent side dishes for porridge, and now they are sending porridge as well?

This morning, she was either paying respects or meeting various eunuchs, but she couldn't offend any of them, so she tidied her dress a little and said to Xiao Luzi.

"Let Eunuch Pan come in."

"Yes."

The palace door was open, but there was a gauze curtain.

Xia An walked over and lifted the gauze curtain, and saw a slightly fat eunuch standing at the door, looking inside with a flattering look on his face.

"Please come in, Eunuch Pan."

"No, no, please no need, young lady."

He was very humble.

The people in the imperial kitchen all had a bit of smoke and fire all over them, probably because they stayed in the kitchen for too long, and there was always a bit of smell on them.
