"Empress, did you and His Majesty quarrel again?" Zhelan sighed and knelt down to pick up the pieces.

Jin Shu helped Ying Ning sit aside and said with a smile: "How can a couple not quarrel? It's not a big deal. Zhe Lan, don't look sad and tell the empress that she's in a bad mood. By the way, today

Isn’t there some fresh sweet shrimp porridge? Let’s give it to the queen to try.”

When the porridge was delivered, Ying Ning looked at the shrimps in the bowl and asked, "Where can such sweet shrimps come from in this season?"

Jin Shu smiled and said: "It's summer. Your Majesty specially ordered an ice cellar to be built to store the ingredients that the empress likes and that are hard to find in winter. The fresh anchovies that the empress uses these days are all taken from the ice cellar.

"

Ying Ning scooped up a piece of shrimp with a spoon and put it in her mouth.

Fresh and tender, almost indistinguishable from fresh shrimp.

Jin Shu softly advised: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has treated you very favorably in the past few years. Everything that Your Majesty can take care of regarding the food and clothing in the palace has been personally arranged for you. Those beds and tents you have in the palace

, everything from vases to incense burners were personally selected by His Majesty. You like cold food in winter, you are afraid of heat in summer, your skin is itchy when encountering pollen in spring, and nosebleeds are always caused by dryness in autumn. Your Majesty has carefully given these instructions to your slaves.

They."

Ying Ning asked: "How come you never told me?"

"Why haven't you said it? You don't want to hear it." Zhelan muttered.

Ying Ning lowered her head and drank the porridge slowly, imagining that Gu Changyuan was sitting beside her, watching her like every dinner before, his eyes like water.

She would never get that kind of look again.

There was a stabbing pain in my heart.

Yingning came back to her senses and suddenly realized that Tang Qing was right.

He laughed at her for falling in love with a dead man.

It wasn't until Gu Changyuan's death that she realized his goodness bit by bit.

This is indeed ridiculous.

And it's miserable.

From now on, for countless days and nights, she can only think about someone she will never see again.

…

The emperor left Xuanzheng Hall angrily and went directly back to Qinzheng Hall without going to Ganquan Palace.

Jiang Fu remained calm, while Jinfengdie couldn't sit still.

As slow as she was, she finally realized that the Queen didn't seem to like the two of them sleeping together.

However, this is not important anymore.

Because since then, the emperor has never been to the harem again.

Not to mention Ganquan Palace, he didn't even go to the Xuanzheng Palace, focusing on government affairs.

It was not until the twelfth lunar month that the cabinet issued an imperial edict for the general election.

The Ministry of Rites immediately ordered people to go to various prefectures and counties to select young girls of suitable age, with clean wealth and beautiful appearance, and send them to the palace for selection.

When Jinfengdie learned about the draft, she was very angry at first. She sat in the Xuanzheng Hall crying and refused to leave.

"Your Majesty hasn't even touched my concubine yet, and the talent show has already begun." She wiped her tears, "When those girls come in, why don't they ride on my head? After all, my concubine has been following your majesty from his residence!"

Ying Ning said calmly: "I can't make the final decision about the draft. What's the use of crying in front of me."

"No matter what, I have to let my concubine sleep before the draft." Jinfengdie knelt at Ying Ning's feet, pulled her skirt and acted coquettishly, "Sister Queen, please fulfill my concubine's wish. Please

Please. From now on, I, my concubine, will only obey you and be obedient."

Ying Ning looked at her for a while and said, "Your Majesty doesn't even come to my place. I can't help it. If you can find a way to sleep with her, that's your ability."
