PDLP Chapter 275 If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have done it in the first place.
Chapter 275 If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have done it in the first place.
"Since Your Majesty wants to eat lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake, why not go and see the person who makes the cake in person?" Zhen Huan immediately understood what the emperor meant.
"I'm afraid that the lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake is sweet, but people are not sweet." The emperor felt that he was a little sorry for Huanhuan for going to Chuxiu Palace from Suiyuxuan at this time.
After all, Huanhuan is pregnant, so I should spend more time with her.
However, he had been staying in Suiyuxuan for several days, and Doctor Zhang also hinted that he was not suitable.
We still have to listen to the imperial physician, especially since he is the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
"How can you know whether it's sweet or not if Your Majesty doesn't go?" Zhen Huan saw through the emperor's little thoughts at a glance.
Men, that's just how it is.
Anyone can sleep with the emperor, as long as the emperor's heart is with me.
What's more, this is a good opportunity for Sister Mei and the Emperor to reconcile.
If the Emperor, as the Son of Heaven, is willing to bow to Sister Mei first, even if Sister Mei is very arrogant, she will probably be more soft-hearted.
I heard that on the day Sister Mei moved to the palace, the Emperor went to Chuxiu Palace specially to support Sister Mei.
Sister Mei also treated the emperor to a specially made lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake.
Shen Meizhuang: I wanted to add some milk to improve the dish, but it went badly and it doesn’t taste very good.
"Then let me go and take a look?" The emperor put down the brush in his hand.
"Your Majesty's heart is now in Chuxiu Palace, yet you still come to ask me." Zhen Huan rolled her eyes at the emperor.
"Hahaha. My heart is naturally with you and the child."
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang Tingyu has something to report." Su Peisheng came in at the right time to report.
"Then I'll leave first and come see you later."
Zhen Huan stood up and respectfully saw the emperor off.
"Jingxi, go find Lingrong and talk tonight. I haven't seen Lingrong for a long time." Zhen Huan has been staying with the emperor for the past few days and feels a little bored.
"Yes." Jin Xi naturally understood that the emperor would not come tonight.
The emperor went to the Yangxin Palace, met with Zhang Tingyu, and then went to the Chuxiu Palace.
"Empress Hui, the Emperor is here! The Emperor is here!"
Shen Meizhuang was just picking up the teacup and preparing to take a sip of the Maojian tea that Caiyue had just brewed when the young eunuch who was guarding the Chuxiu Palace came in to report.
"understood."
Just after coaxing Jinghe to sleep, Shen Meizhuang had a rare moment of peace and wanted to read some Book of Songs to calm her mind, but then the emperor came.
"Your Majesty, please quickly get ready to receive the emperor." The young eunuch was very anxious when he saw that Concubine Hui was still motionless.
Their Chuxiu Palace is really unpopular. Ever since Concubine Hui moved to the palace to live alone, the Emperor has only come here once, and that was on the day of the move.
This Concubine Hui is young and beautiful, so why is she not interested in vying for favor?
"You can go out." Shen Meizhuang took a sip of tea and pressed the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
"The emperor has arrived." Su Peisheng's voice came from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, best wishes." Shen Meizhuang then stood up from the couch and bowed to the emperor.
"Get up."
The emperor wanted to go over and help Shen Meizhuang up, but unexpectedly Shen Meizhuang stood up first.
The emperor was about to extend his hand, but then he retracted it.
"This tea smells good." The emperor wanted to step forward and hold Shen Meizhuang's hand again, but Shen Meizhuang shrank back slightly.
The emperor then knew about Shen Meizhuang's resistance.
"Sit down and talk first."
"Your Majesty, please have some tea." Caixing came forward with a tea tray and presented the emperor with the same Maojian tea that Shen Meizhuang had drunk.
"The Emperor likes to drink tea that is eight-tenths hot. This is what the Empress specifically ordered."
Shen Meizhuang glared at Cai Xing coldly, and Cai Xing narrowed her eyes.
It is a rare opportunity for the Emperor to come, so Caiyue and Caixing naturally want the Empress and the Emperor to get closer.
The ladder has been set up. It is obvious that the Emperor is worried about the Empress. He has just come to Chuxiu Palace, but why is the Empress refusing to come down?
"Haha, good tea. It's nice that you still remember me." The emperor laughed dryly twice and took a sip of the tea.
The emperor's voice fell, and then there was a strange silence.
"Where is Jinghe?" asked the emperor.
"I just coaxed her to sleep. Jinghe always wants to take a nap at this time." Shen Meizhuang's eyes were looking at a celadon vase in the distance.
"Yes, I came at an untimely time. I originally wanted to have some fun with Jinghe."
Shen Meizhuang was originally a dignified and beautiful woman. After giving birth to a child, she also had a gentle temperament unique to motherhood.
Shen Meizhuang is a stubborn person, gentle but strong, which makes the emperor find her even more charming.
"I only knew you were gentle before, but I didn't expect you also had a bad temper."
There was a lewd smile in the emperor's small eyes.
"Your Majesty is so complimentary."
Caiyue: Your Majesty, do you know what you are talking about?
The emperor looked at Shen Meizhuang, who was still stubborn, and gave Caiyue a look.
Caiyue got the hint and retreated on her own.
"Mei'er, what happened in the past was all my fault."
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. How can the Son of Heaven be wrong?"
The emperor suddenly felt that the tea he had just drunk was a bit choking.
"Jinghe has a wet nurse now. Although Jinghe was born prematurely, you have taken good care of her. She is healthy now. I am happy to see her like that."
"Your green card has been removed since you became pregnant last year. I have asked the Jingshifang to put your green card back."
Ever since Meizhuang became pregnant, or to be more precise, since she was put under house arrest, the Emperor ordered the Jingshifang to remove her green card.
Later the truth came out, Yu was sentenced to death, Zhen Huan became the new favorite in the harem, and the emperor never thought about it again.
Later, Shen Meizhuang gave birth to Jinghe. Because the horse was frightened and gave birth prematurely, the Queen Mother asked Shen Meizhuang to stay in bed for two months to recuperate.
After the confinement period, Eunuch Xu from the Jingshifang came to ask Shen Meizhuang quietly whether she wanted to put her green card back.
Shen Meizhuang just said it was not necessary.
I didn't expect that the emperor would remember this matter now.
Shen Meizhuang did not respond to the emperor's hint. Now that she had Jinghe, she was already content. As for the emperor, she really was not willing to spend the slightest effort.
"Then you can take a rest first. I will come to see you and Jinghe next time."
"Congratulations to the emperor."
Shen Meizhuang stood up and saluted.
As soon as he walked out of the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, the emperor stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the white sky and swallowed his saliva.
Then he left angrily.
Aunt Zhusheng saw the disappointment and helplessness on the emperor's face from the corridor.
If I had known what would happen today, why bother?
That night, the emperor turned over Lipin's name card and went to sleep with him.
The emperor originally wanted to look for An Lingrong, but Eunuch Xu from the Jingshifang said that An Changzai was suffering from a cough, so the green card was withdrawn.
The emperor became unhappy when he heard the words "remove the green top card" and immediately flipped over Lipin's card at random.

"Your Majesty, Prince Guo has been hanging around the Peony Terrace recently." Zhou Ninghai came in to report.
"I understand." Hua Fei's expression was indifferent.
