Chapter 9 Jealousy
Hu Yimeng estimated the time when Beichen Yeli went to the next dynasty and went to the small kitchen of Changle Palace to make some snacks for Beichen Yeli and planned to take them to the imperial study.
Preparing snacks, Hu Yimeng specially changed into a white off-shoulder palace suit, revealing her round and smooth shoulders, and the long embroidered shoes covering her feet, like a blooming lotus flower, with a flying bun, a jasper flower hairpin inserted between her temples, and a string of snow-white valeralds around her neck. The dark fragrance floats while walking, touching people's hearts and souls.
After packing up, Hu Yimeng took Xingyan to the imperial study together.
Walking to the door of the imperial study, Eunuch Fang saw Hu Yimeng coming and was about to salute. Hu Yimeng quickly made a silent gesture to him, blinked his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Eunuch Fang, there is no need to inform. I want to surprise the emperor."
"But...mother!" Grandpa Fang looked a little ugly and stopped talking to stop Hu Yimeng, but Hu Yimeng had already bypassed him with a smile and pushed open the door of the imperial study.
Epa Fang hurriedly caught up with him, but saw that Hu Yimeng, who had just entered the imperial study, was stunned.
"Bold! How dare people break into the imperial study?!" The unhappy voice of Beichen night came from the imperial study.
But compared with the unhappy voice of Beichen night, Hu Yimeng's heart is more shocked and resentful.
The smile faded from her face in an instant. She looked blankly at Beichen Yeli, who was sitting behind the desk and reading the chapter, and the person beside him that she had never expected - Shufei.
Shufei, who is also dressed in white, has a light smile at the corners of her mouth. The delicate jade finger is pinching an ink cake and grinding it finely in the inkstone, and the infinite tenderness in her eyes is bet on Beichen Yeli.
There are also several exquisite snacks and a pot of tea on the table of Beichen Yeli.
Hu Yimeng glanced at the tea on the table and couldn't help clenching the hand holding the food box.
I'm afraid those refreshments were brought by Shufei. Compared with one of the snacks she brought, Hu Yimeng suddenly lost confidence.
One is so delicate, the other is so mediocre...
"It turns out that Shufei's sister is also here. I don't know that the emperor has Shufei's sister around today. She suddenly came and ruined the emperor's Yaxing. Please forgive me." Hu Yimeng hurriedly cleaned up her messy mood, lowered her eyelashes, and said softly to Beichen Yeli Yifu.
Beichen Yeli put down the medal and looked up at the door. Seeing that the person turned out to be Hu Yimeng, he couldn't help but be relieved.
"It turned out that Huifei came. Why didn't Fang An inform her?"
Fang An, who followed Hu Yimeng into the imperial study, heard Beichen Yeli's question and saw Beichen Yeli's unhappy eyes glance at him. He couldn't help trembling and sweating coldly.
"Your Majesty, I know I'm wrong. Please punish me." E-in-law quickly pleaded guilty to Beichen Yeli.
"That's all, Fang An, you go down first." Beichen Yeli waved his hand and asked Grandpa Fang to retreat first.
Fang Gong withdrew from the imperial study. For a while, only Beichen Yeli, Hu Yimeng and Shufei Wang Xuelan were left in the imperial study.
When Wang Xuelan saw that Hu Yimeng also came to the imperial study, and today, she chose white dresses like herself, and prepared refreshments for Beichen Yeli. She couldn't help but feel a sense of comparison.
Last time she came to the imperial study one step later than Hu Yimeng and let Hu Yimeng seize the opportunity. This time, she arrived a step earlier than her. I don't know who would be more inclined in Beichen Yeli's heart. Wang Xuelan thought about it secretly.
Although there was a heart of comparison in her heart, she still smiled gently and kindly on her face. Did Sister Huifei also come to bring tea to the emperor? I don't know what kind of dessert my sister prepared? Wang Xuelan put her eyes on the food box held in Hu Yimeng's hand.
"It's just some simple snacks. I'm afraid it's not as good as Shufei's sister's skill." Hu Yimeng said with a smile, "Sister Shufei and I are from Tianji City. When I was at home, I often heard people say that the daughter of the Wang family is the most virtuous, and she can go to the hall and the kitchen, especially the good craftsmanship of making snacks, which is really rare in the world."
Hu Yimeng said this to Wang Xuelan, but she secretly glanced at Beichen Yeli and saw that there was no change on Beichen Yeli's face, so she continued to say with a smile, "Not long ago, everyone has learned Defei's craftsmanship. I don't know which of Shufei's sister's skills is higher or lower than her?"
Hearing Hu Yimeng's words, Wang Xuelan's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
The disaster of Concubine De started from snacks, and Concubine De was also her direct cousin. Hu Yimeng's words couldn't help but make people feel that she was pointing out of the locust.
The corners of Wang Xuelan's mouth were twisted, but she still restrained her anger and said faintly, "Concubine De is jealous by nature, and for the sake of harming the harem, the emperor is wise and martial arts to kill her. Now in the harem is the head of her sister and sister. My sister must be careful in her words and deeds. My sister always mentions Concubine De, don't teach others to misunderstand that the relationship between sister and Concubine De is extraordinary.
"Ha ha, my sister's lesson is that you and I are now the heads of the concubines in the harem. We should be cautious and not follow in the footsteps of the German concubine." As Hu Yimeng spoke, she took the food box to the table of Beichen Yeli and brought out a few hearts in the food box.
These tips are naturally not the same as the tea brought by Wang Xuelan, but it was also made by Hu Yimeng with a lot of effort.
Hu Yimeng naturally knew that her snacks were compared with Wang Xuelan's. She could only lose herself, but the unyielding strength in her heart forced her never to retreat!
And she has already thought about it silently in her heart. If Beichen Yeli dares to look down on her snacks for a while and chooses Wang Xuelan, he will no longer want her to forgive him. He will definitely be listed first on the list of the most unwelcome people in Changle Palace!
With a breath in his heart, Hu Yimeng put the snacks on Beichen Yeli's desk.
"Your Majesty, this is specially made for you by my concubine. Although it is not as exquisite as Shufei's sister, the taste is your favorite. Please try it." Hu Yimeng looked at Beichen Yeli with a smile and said.
Beichen Yeli stared at Hu Yimeng's narrow eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a trace of doting flashed in his eyes. Naturally, he would not understand that she was competing with Shufei now, and even had a lot of jealousy. Seeing her jealous of him, in fact, his heart was infinitely happy, but he also knew that he must not show a trace of joy at this time, otherwise his little dream would definitely lose his temper.
Beichen Yeli followed Hu Yimeng's meaning, twisted a piece of hibiscus cake and ate it. After eating, he did not forget to smile and praised, "Huifei is really good at craftsmanship, and the taste is exactly like my taste."
