The Queen's affectionate behavior towards Ye Yurou in front of the Emperor, as well as the way she stayed up to take care of Ye Yurou last night, convinced the Emperor.
"There are indeed not many children in the harem. Queen, you also know that Concubine Xin is pregnant with Liujia, so you should pay more attention to her." The emperor said, gently touching the back of the queen's hand, full of love.
The queen lowered her eyes, a sharp flash of light flashed in her eyes, but she responded submissively on the surface.
"Prince, Rou'er has had no father or mother since she was a child. I am busy with government affairs and it is difficult to take care of her all the time. You have to go to Chaofeng Pavilion to visit her. Whenever I see her, I will think of Duke Ding. He shares the joys and sorrows with me, and we are on the battlefield. Your Majesty saved me from danger, and her eyes are exactly the same as Duke Dingguo's..." While the emperor was talking to Lin Feng, he was immersed in the past of fighting with Duke Dingguo.
The queen noticed the emperor's emotions, especially when he unconsciously touched the scars on his wrists. She knew very well that they were wounds on the battlefield, left by Duke Dingguo to save the emperor.
Among all the ministers in the court, only Duke Dingguo and the emperor share the same brotherhood.
It is a pity that Duke Dingguo has passed away, and the living tend to idealize the deceased. Moreover, Duke Dingguo is indeed extremely loyal and unmatched.
This further strengthened the Queen's determination to establish a good relationship with Ye Yurou.
She hoped that Ye Yurou could become Lin Feng's wife, so that every time the emperor saw the scars on his wrists, he would think of the prince through Ye Yurou.
Ye Yurou is only seven years old this year. Girls grow up quickly and can get married at the age of fifteen.
Many discerning families will start looking for a husband when their daughter is around thirteen years old, and Ye Yurou's marriage is not far away.
The queen must ensure that Lin Feng can win Ye Yurou's heart as early as possible.
The most ideal situation is that Ye Yurou falls deeply in love with Lin Feng, and then Lin Feng asks the emperor for a marriage, so that Ye Yurou can be firmly bound to them.
At this time, a palace maid walked in with a bowl of black liquid in her hand.
Zhongli saluted the emperor and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the prince accidentally fell into the water yesterday. The princess felt guilty and specially sent ginger soup made by herself."
The emperor was a little surprised when he heard that Ye Yurou had made it himself. He motioned to the palace maid to come closer and gently stirred the ginger soup in the bowl with a spoon. He saw that the ginger pieces were uneven, which was obviously beyond the reach of the imperial kitchen.
The emperor smiled and said: "It seems that Yurou cooked it by herself. The ginger pieces are cut into different sizes."
The palace maid bent down slightly, the tray was as stable as a rock, and she expressed Ye Yurou's thoughts succinctly and clearly, "Originally, as soon as the prince fell into the water, the princess wanted to give her ginger soup, but the princess herself was soaked by the rain, so we finally persuaded her When we went back, the princess ate something unclean again in the evening and felt uncomfortable all night, so she took a long time to prepare the ginger soup."
These words reveal three meanings——
First of all, Ye Yurou was not indifferent to the matter of the prince falling into the water;
Secondly, regardless of the possibility of catching the cold again, Ye Yurou always missed the prince and eagerly wanted to make ginger soup for him;
Finally, in front of the emperor, he also indirectly criticized the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The maid who brought the ginger soup was Ye Yurou, who was brought from Dingguo Palace. She was very eloquent and quick-thinking.
In the previous life, Bao Que reminded Ye Yurou many times, but Ye Yurou was confused by Lin Feng's gentleness and devotion, and gradually alienated her, and even married her to a person of bad character at Lin Feng's suggestion.
Ye Yurou was given a new life and she wanted to make good use of this grace.
"Your Highness, please taste this hot ginger soup."
Ye Yurou understood that the emperor attached great importance to emotions and specially asked Bao Que to bring ginger soup.
In the emperor's expectant eyes, Lin Feng mentioned the ginger soup and drank it in one gulp. He only felt the spicy and sweet intertwined. The spiciness made Lin Feng almost doubt his life, but the sweetness was bitter and unbearable.
Lin Feng felt that he had never tasted such unpalatable ginger soup in his life.
"Why, does the ginger soup not suit your taste?"
The expression on Lin Feng's face turned painful, and the emperor immediately noticed something strange.
The queen glanced lightly, but her understatement made Lin Feng feel like he was falling into the abyss, "Yurou is still young, and she is naturally unfamiliar with making ginger soup for the first time, but her affection is very important. At the age of seven, she already knows how to care for the prince's brother. When I was seven years old, my concubine And he only cares about playing with himself.”
Since the ginger soup was presented to the emperor, if he didn't drink it, I'm afraid the emperor would be suspicious, whether Lin Feng was dissatisfied with the craftsmanship of the ginger soup, and whether all the previous things were done deliberately.
Furthermore, the food in front of the emperor has its own benefits, at least it is safe. At best, it just doesn't taste good. After all, apart from ginger and brown sugar, how else can ginger soup be unpalatable?
Lin Feng understood that the queen's words were a signal for him to finish the ginger soup.
The emperor also agreed: "What the queen said is absolutely true."
At this moment, even if he didn't want to, he had no choice but to drink it.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and drank the ginger soup in one gulp. He felt that his soul was about to fly out and his body seemed to be on fire.
Bao Que had a clear view of Lin Feng's reaction. After returning to the Forbidden Palace, he excitedly described it to Ye Yurou with vivid movements.
Ye Yurou couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Lin Yun also pictured Lin Feng's appearance in his mind based on Bao Que's description, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.
"Princess, I think the prince will not enter the forbidden palace again in the short term." Bao Que said excitedly.
She had a great time playing with the princess. Once the prince arrived, the princess would no longer accompany her.
Ye Yurou stared at Bao Que's energetic face, which was completely different from the weathered and haggard face in later generations.
She was only fifteen years old, in her prime.
Back then, Bao Que warned her many times not to trust Lin Feng, but Lin Feng accidentally overheard her.
Soon after, Lin Feng told her that Bao Que was old and it was time to get married.
Bao Que grew up with her, and he chose a good match for Bao Que.
That's the steward of the East Palace.
Her personal maid married the steward of the East Palace, which was considered a good match.
But I don’t know what happened to Bao Que. Since her marriage, she has rarely appeared by her side. When she does meet, she always looks haggard.
When asked about Bao Que, she always kept silent.
Looking back now, if Lin Feng could push her, Ye Yurou, off the rooftop, how could he deal with a maid?
All the signs have been traced for a long time, but how can a woman in love question her sweetheart?
Even if there is a fault, it is always the other person’s fault.
As expected, Lin Feng never set foot in the Forbidden Palace again.
It was rumored that he fell ill after leaving the Queen's Palace. After questioning, it was found out that it was due to the worsening wind and cold.
The Forbidden Palace is a special forbidden palace in the palace. Ye Yurou was only a teenager when she died. She was really youthful and lively at a young age. At this time, Ye Yurou couldn't help but feel a little upset thinking that she could go out and have fun in twenty days.
Seeing this, Kyoko actively made suggestions.
"Princess, why don't we take the opportunity to go out of the palace and enjoy it?"
