Everyone understood,
The purchase ratio was less than 40%,
For the time being, there was no update..
Xue Baoqin had been in this world for so long,
But she was still not used to kneeling in front of others, so she stood up straight,
And said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Emperor stared at Xue Baoqin's face,
When he saw the white veil, he asked, "What's wrong with your face?"
Xue Baoqin said, "because I have spring ringworm these few days,
My face is a little dirty,
So I covered my face.
Moreover, it is said that spring ringworm should not be exposed to the wind,
This can be considered killing two birds with one stone.
Your Majesty, please forgive me. "
Spring ringworm was a disease that women were prone to in spring,
How would the Emperor know if it could be exposed to the wind?
Therefore, he did not doubt Baoqin's words.
He walked to the seat of honor, lifted his clothes, and sat down,
He said to Baoqin, who was still standing, "What are you standing there for?
Sit down and talk to me. "As he said that, he waved his hand gently, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the room immediately left,
Leaving only Baoqin to accompany the Emperor.
Baoqin heard this,
She could only walk to the Emperor's seat,
And sit down on the yellow rosewood eight-immortal chair.
The Emperor stared at the beauty of the Xue Clan that he had always been thinking about, but he saw that her eyes were calm,
Although her face was covered,
He could still feel that her mood was very stable,
So he asked with a faint smile, "I didn't let you enter the palace immediately. Do you have any resentment in your heart?"
Look at the Emperor's question,
Even if she really had resentment in her heart,
Did she really dare to say it out loud?
Baoqin cursed the Emperor in her heart,
But on the surface, she replied respectfully, "This commoner knows that there must be a reason why I can't enter the palace immediately,
There is no resentment in my heart.
Moreover, Your Majesty has rewarded this commoner with many precious items and personally came to visit this commoner.
Even if there is a little unwillingness in my heart, it is long gone. "
Baoqin's answer was very clever. If she said that she was not dissatisfied at all, the Emperor would definitely not believe her, right?
If she said that, presumably, the Emperor would definitely believe that she was speaking from the heart.
As expected, the smile on the Emperor's face became more genuine. "You are very honest." He looked at the white veil on Baoqin's face, and a trace of regret appeared in his eyes.
Wasn't that so? It wasn't easy for him to steal some time to come out and see his beauty, but he just couldn't see her. What a pity …
Baoqin smiled and said, "How can I not tell the truth in front of Your Majesty?"
She did not sit up straight like she usually did in front of the Emperor's concubines for fear of losing her decorum. Instead, she leaned lazily against the back of the chair and appeared even more charming.
She came out in a hurry, wearing only a half-worn apricot red dress that reached her chest, covered with a light pink tulle.
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 adorned 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, high and low, and was particularly attractive.
At the very least, the Emperor, who had been watching her, had a deeper look in his eyes.
Food and sex were the greatest desires of man. 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 a meal?
I will personally cook and wash my hands to make soup. I hope Your Majesty won't dislike it. "
Hearing this, the Emperor's handsome face showed an interested smile. "My beloved concubine can cook?"
Oh my, he's 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 at me.
Would His Majesty like to take a walk in the garden before the meal?
Although it's not 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. "Forget it. What's the point of walking around the garden alone without you by my side?"
Baoqin secretly rolled her eyes and asked, "Then, will Your Majesty wait here?"
The Emperor stood up, stretched his arms, and said, "I'm a bit tired. Where is my beloved concubine's room?
I want to rest for a bit. "
The Emperor wanted to occupy her bed. Did she dare to refuse?
She could only lead the Emperor to her room.
The Emperor stood by her bed, which 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 be swayed.
Seeing a eunuch come up to serve the emperor, Bao Qin quickly excused himself and left.
Although she was already his in name, she hadn't officially entered the palace.
She still had to be reserved.
The Emperor watched as Baoqin left. He only smiled and didn't have any other emotions.
He took off his outer robe and deerskin boots under the service of the eunuch and lay down on Baoqin's bed. He felt that it was quite fresh.
The pillow, which was embroidered with elegant lotus flowers and carps, seemed to have the fragrance of Baoqin's hair. It was intoxicating.
The purple clove quilt covering his body was soft and thick. It also had the same fragrance as the pillow.
On the bed, which was filled with the smell of Baoqin, 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 planning to cook for His Majesty?"
He knew his Miss's situation. When she said that her cooking was average, she wasn't being modest. She was speaking 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. "You'll know when I make it."
She then ordered, "Go and take out the pot 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 and showed 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.
The warm evening sunlight shone in through the half-open window, and the ground was golden.
Tiny specks of dust floated in the light. Surprisingly, they weren't annoying.
He stood up and let the eunuch put on his outer robe for him. He 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."
Hearing this, the Emperor was not angry. Instead, he laughed. He felt that Xue Baoqin, who could not wait to present a treasure after only knowing how to make one dish, was very cute.
Of course, this was all because of her beauty.
If an ugly woman cooked only one dish for the Emperor, he wouldn't be able to laugh.
After the Emperor finished dressing, he walked out of the bedroom at a moderate pace.
The round mahogany table in the warm room was already full of dishes.
The Emperor looked at the eunuch behind him. "You dare deceive the Emperor?" This wasn't just one dish, it was clearly a table full of dishes.
The eunuch hurriedly bowed. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Although it looks like a table full of dishes, strictly speaking, it is only one dish.
Your Majesty, please take a look and you will understand. "
The Emperor glanced at the eunuch who had served him for more than ten years, then walked to the table and sat down.
He took a closer look and saw that the dishes on the table were all raw.
Seeing this, he laughed. "Is Xue Baoqin 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. It seems that these dishes have to be cooked in it before they can be eaten."
The Emperor heard this and his gaze moved to the pot in the middle of the dishes.
He only felt that it was a little strange and he had never seen it before.
The copper pot was round and there was a chimney-like thing in the middle. It was filled with bright red charcoal that was burning vigorously.
There was a thin copper plate embedded in the pot that divided it into two sides. One side was a milky white soup with bright red soup, and the other side was a soup with dried chili and pepper floating in chili oil.
The soup on both sides was boiling and constantly boiling, emitting two different fragrances.
What she hated the most was the matchmaker's words and her parents' orders. She had to be the one in charge of her life.
