Xue Baoqin used a silk scarf to cover her face and went out to meet the people from the palace.
When she saw the person who walked out from behind the smiling eunuch, she couldn't help but cry out in surprise, "Your … Majesty?"
The Emperor was wearing a bamboo colored heavenly horse arrow sleeve with a moon white jade belt around his waist and a silver crown on his head. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a faint smile. His tone was very gentle as he said, "Do you still remember my appearance?"
What a joke, how could I not remember?
You are my future boss!
Xue Baoqin quickly tried to kneel down, but she was helped up by a pair of slender and pleasing hands. She met the Emperor's smiling eyes and heard him say, "This time, I am leaving the palace in plain clothes. There is no need to be so polite."
Xue Baoqin had been in this world for so long, but she still wasn't used to kneeling to people. Thus, she stood up straight and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Emperor looked at Xue Baoqin's face. Seeing the white veil, he asked, "What happened to your face?"
Xue Baoqin said, "Because I had spring ringworm these days, my face is a bit dirty, so I covered my face.
Also, it is said that spring ringworm should not be exposed to the wind. This is killing two birds with one stone.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty. "
Spring ringworm was a common problem for women in spring. How could the Emperor know if it could be exposed to the wind?
Thus, he didn't doubt Baoqin's words.
He walked to the seat of honor and lifted his clothes to sit down. He said to Baoqin who was still standing, "Why are you still standing?
Sit down and talk with me. "
As he spoke, he gently waved his hand. Immediately, all the eunuchs and palace maids in the room left, leaving only Baoqin to accompany the Emperor.
Hearing this, Baoqin could only walk to the Emperor's right and sit down on the yellow rosewood chair.
The Emperor looked at the beauty of the Xue Clan that he had been thinking about. He saw that her eyes were calm. Although her face was covered, he could still feel that her mood was very stable. He smiled and asked, "Do you feel resentful that I didn't let you enter the palace immediately?"
Seeing the Emperor's question, even if she did feel resentful, would she dare to say it out loud?
Baoqin criticized the Emperor in her heart, but on the surface, she respectfully replied, "I know that there must be a reason why I can't enter the palace immediately, so I don't feel resentful.
Also, Your Majesty gave me many precious items and personally came to visit me.
Even if I feel a bit resentful, it is long gone. "
Bao Qin's answer was very clever. If he said that he was not dissatisfied at all, the Emperor would not believe him, right?
If she said this, then the Emperor's's's's words words's's's's.
. That's right's's's's's's's's's's's's's's's's's.
It he he he he, '''s's's, he, he ''s's....................
Bao Qin smiled and said, "How could I not tell the truth in front of His Majesty?"
She didn't sit up straight like she usually did in front of the Emperor's's' concubines, for fear of losing her decorum. Instead, she lazily leaned against the back of the chair, which made her appear even more charming.
She had come out in a hurry, wearing a half-worn apricot red chest-length dress, which was covered in a light pink gauze.
In the haze, one could vaguely see the hidden flowers embroidered on the dress. They were delicate yellow and willow green flowers.
Her chest was decorated with a string of pure white pearls. Each pearl was the size of a ball, but it didn't seem to be as white as her skin.
This set of clothes was rather loose, not a close-fitting dress.
But the oversized dress had a strange charm. It was fake and real, real and fake, and it was very attractive.
At the very least, the Emperor, who had been watching her, had a deeper look in his eyes.
Food and sex, people's great desires. The ancients didn't lie …
After satisfying the lust, it was time to satisfy the other's' appetite.
After all, it wasn't easy for her to come out, so she couldn't not eat, right?
After the two of them talked for a while, Baoqin said, "Would Your Majesty stay for dinner?
I will personally cook and wash my hands to make soup. I hope Your Majesty won't dislike it. "
Hearing this, an interested smile appeared on the Emperor's handsome face. "My beloved concubine can cook?"
Oh my, you're already calling me beloved concubine. I'm not your concubine yet … Thinking this in her heart, Baoqin said, "I'm not very good at cooking. When the time comes, I hope Your Majesty won't laugh.
During the time before dinner, does Your Majesty want to take a walk in the garden?
Although this place isn't as noble as the Imperial Garden, the scenery is still pretty good. It's worth a look. "
The Emperor didn't seem to be interested in the Grand View Garden and said, "Forget it. If you're not by my side, what's the point of me going to the garden alone?"
Baoqin secretly rolled her eyes and asked, "Then, will Your Majesty wait here?"
The Emperor stood up and stretched his arms. "I'm a bit tired. Where is my beloved concubine's room?
I want to rest for a bit. "
The Emperor wanted to take over her bed. Did she dare to refuse?
She could only lead the Emperor to her room.
The Emperor stood beside her bed that took up half of the room. It was carved with insects, flowers, and birds. His nose smelled the faint fragrance of a woman, and his mind couldn't help but waver.
Seeing a eunuch come up to serve the Emperor, Baoqin quickly asked to be excused.
Although she was already his in name, she hadn't officially entered the palace yet.
She still had to be reserved.
The Emperor watched as Baoqin left. He only smiled and didn't have any other emotions.
Under the service of the eunuch, he took off his outer robe and deerskin boots and lay down on Baoqin's bed. He felt that it was quite fresh.
The pillow embroidered with elegant lotus flowers and carps seemed to carry the fragrance of Baoqin's hair. It was intoxicating.
The purple silk clove quilt covering his body was soft and thick. It also had the same fragrance as the pillow.
On the bed that was filled with the scent of Bao Qin, he soon fell asleep in a daze.
In his dream, she was also there … …
Next to Baoqin's courtyard, there was a small kitchen.
Although it was small, it had all the essentials.
One of the walls facing the stove was completely hollowed out, and the light was excellent.
Xiao Luo squatted in front of the clean stove and stuffed dry wood into the stove. He asked curiously, "Miss, what are you going to cook for His Majesty?"
He knew about his Miss. When she said that her cooking was average, she wasn't being modest. She was telling the truth.
If the Emperor didn't like the food she made, then she would go for wool and come home shorn.
Baoqin revealed a mysterious smile. "When I make it, you will know."
After saying this, she ordered, "Go and take out the pot that I specially ordered. Wash it and set it aside."
Xiao Luo complied and left. Not long after, a mouth-watering aroma rose from the kitchen.
One of the two eunuchs guarding outside the room sniffed and said, "The aroma is not bad. This Young Mistress Xue seems to have some skills."
The other eunuch took a few deep breaths and closed his eyes. "There are dried chili, wild mountain pepper, pepper, star anise, grass fruit, bay leaf … …"
The eunuch next to him laughed. "Do you have a dog's nose?
This Young Mistress Xue has misunderstood. Our Emperor doesn't like to eat dishes with strong flavors.
It seems that she won't be able to sleep tonight. "
The other one glanced at his colleague beside him, revealing a look of contempt. "What do you know?
His Majesty is very interested in this person.
Even if he doesn't like the food she makes, he won't say anything.
If you don't believe me, just wait and see … … "
When the Emperor woke up, the sun had already set in the west.
The warm rays of the evening sun shone in through the half-open window, bathing the ground in a golden yellow.
Tiny specks of dust floated in the light, surprisingly not annoying.
He stood up and let the eunuch put on his outer robe for him. His nose smelled a special aroma that whetted his appetite. "Is your Young Mistress Xue's dish ready?"
The eunuch had his usual gentle smile on his face. "It has been ready for a while. Your Majesty, please take a look. This servant has never seen this dish before!"
The Emperor was slightly surprised. "Only one dish?"
The eunuch said, "Strictly speaking, there is indeed only one dish."
The Emperor didn't get angry, but laughed instead. He thought that Xue Baoqin, who could only cook one dish and couldn't wait to present it as a treasure, was very cute.
Of course, this was because of her beauty.
If an ugly woman cooked only one dish for the Emperor, would he still be able to laugh?
After the Emperor finished dressing, he walked out of the bedroom at a moderate pace.
On the round mahogany table in the warm room outside, there was a table full of dishes.
Seeing this scene, the Emperor looked at the eunuch behind him and said, "You dare to deceive the Emperor?" How was this just one dish? It was clearly a table full of dishes.
The eunuch quickly bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Although it looks like a table full of dishes, it is indeed, strictly speaking, just one dish.
Your Majesty, please take a look and you will understand. "
The Emperor looked at the eunuch who had served him for more than ten years, then walked to the table and sat down.
When he took a closer look, the dishes on the table were all uncooked!
Seeing this, he laughed. "Is Beloved Concubine Xue going to show me her knife skills?"
The eunuch stood behind the Emperor and laughed. "Your Majesty, please take a look at the pot in the middle. I think these dishes have to be cooked before they can be eaten."
