Chapter 727: You Can't Die With Acid, You Think I Lose!
Luo Qinghan was wearing a navy blue robe with narrow sleeves and a round neck today, with a black leather belt that made his waist very attractive.
Even in a very simple dress, he still seems to have an outstanding demeanor and an outstanding temperament.
Xiao Xixi did not appreciate the beautiful man.
She went straight to the ground, closed her eyes and started to sleep soundly.
Luo Qinghan looked at her expressionlessly.
Seeing that she was really asleep, he had to look away, picked up a soft pillow behind her head, and pulled the blanket over her.
In addition to the emperor and his concubines, the people who participated in the autumn hunting this time included many royal family members, children of aristocratic families, and ministers in the court.
A team of more than 2,000 people passed through Suzaku Street, left Shengjing City, and headed to Shanglin Garden.
There is a palace in Shanglin Garden.
The palace is located in the mountains and rivers, the air is fresh and the environment is quiet.
The convoy stopped near the palace.
The eunuchs and maids in charge of taking care of the palace have already prepared everything.
Xiao Xixi followed the emperor out of the carriage.
At this time, a steward eunuch walked up to Eunuch Chang and said a few words.
Eunuch Chang then walked up to the emperor and noble concubine and said respectfully.
"Excuse me, the emperor and the noble concubine, how will this room be arranged?"
In general, things like this are arranged by the queen, but this is not without the queen. The concubine with the highest status is the concubine, so the eunuch in charge can only ask the concubine for an idea.
Xiao Xixi was most afraid of such trivial things, so she quickly held her forehead and pretended to be dizzy.
"I feel so dizzy after sitting in the carriage for so long, I don't know anything anymore."
Luo Qinghan said in a low voice: "The palace should have already made arrangements, just follow their arrangements, and report back if there are any problems."
He paused and added another sentence.
"The imperial concubine lives with me."
Eunuch Chang: "The slave understands."
He conveyed the emperor's meaning to the steward eunuch.
As expected, the eunuch in charge was well prepared, and immediately got busy, arranging the nobles into different rooms according to their status and status, and everything went smoothly.
Only Concubine Jing and Concubine Li had a problem here.
The largest residence in the palace is naturally the Fei Que Hall in the center, followed by Pinecui Pavilion.
The Pinnacle Pavilion was originally intended for the imperial concubine to live in, but the imperial concubine temporarily moved to live with the emperor, so the Pinecui Pavilion was left vacant.
Under the imperial concubine, Concubine Jing and Concubine Li have the highest status.
The eunuch in charge knew quite well which empress should be arranged to live in Pinecui Pavilion, so he came up with a trick.
He went to ask Concubine Jing and Concubine Li to see which of them wanted to live in Pinecui Pavilion?
As a result, both of them wanted to live.
The two were at a stalemate over this, and neither refused to back down.
The eunuchs in charge did not dare to offend anyone, they could not be human beings caught in the middle, and in the end they could only cry and beg the emperor and concubine to make up their minds.
Luo Qinghan and Xiao Xixi were drinking tea and resting, when they heard this, Xiao Xixi said without hesitation.
"Then let them compete, and whoever wins will live in Pinnacle Pavilion."
The steward eunuch was stunned: "Competition? What?"
Xiao Xixi said to Baoqin.
"Bring our oranges."
Recently, the oranges in the orchards in the backyard of Yunxiu Palace were all ripe, and they would rot if they were not eaten. Xiao Xixi didn't want to waste them, so he asked people to pick all the oranges and put them away, intending to make them into marmalade.
This time, when she went out, she specially had someone put a basket of oranges and brought them to Shanglinyuan Palace.
Baoqin took out six oranges and put them in a tray.
Xiao Xixi pointed to the oranges and said to the eunuch in charge.
"You go to Concubine Jing and Concubine Li with these oranges, and tell them, let them compete to eat oranges. Whoever eats all the oranges on this plate first will get the right of residence in Pinnacle Pavilion."
The eunuch in charge did not know how powerful the sour oranges in Yunxiu Palace were.
Hearing the concubine's words, he felt confused, but he didn't dare to ask more, took the fruit plate and left quickly.
At the entrance of Pinecui Pavilion, Concubine Jing and Concubine Li were still facing each other.
Behind them are their supporters.
At first glance, it looks quite intimidating.
The steward eunuch ran quickly with the fruit tray, panting.
"Don't be in a hurry, the two madams, and listen to the servant's words, the noble concubine ordered the servant to send the reward over."
As he spoke, he handed the fruit plate forward.
"These oranges were specially sent by the concubine to the servants to give to the two goddesses to taste. The concubine also said that whoever can eat these oranges in one go will be able to stay in the Pinnacle Pavilion."
When Concubine Jing and Concubine Li saw those oranges, their expressions immediately changed.
The experience of eating oranges at Yunxiu Palace last time made Concubine Jing unforgettable.
As soon as she sees this orange now, she will think of its sour taste that is enough to stimulate her soul, and her scalp will feel a little numb.
Although Concubine Li had never eaten the oranges from Yunxiu Palace, she had heard of its prestige.
Concubine Jing said she didn't want to eat those sour oranges anymore.
She took a step back without hesitation.
"Since Concubine Li likes Pinecuiju so much, please let Concubine Li try these oranges."
If you don't die, you count me as a loser!
Concubine Li tugged at her sleeves and said solemnly: "Bengong suddenly found out that the location of Pinecui Pavilion is not very good, this palace should go to live elsewhere, Pinecui Pavilion and those oranges are all owned by Sister Jing, I hope Sister Jing will slow down. Enjoy slowly."
After she finished speaking, she ran away quickly.
The eunuch in charge handed the fruit plate to Concubine Jing, his eyes full of hope: "Concubine Jing, please taste it, don't let down the heart of the concubine."
Concubine Jing: "Thank you for your concubine's thoughts, but Ben Gong actually prefers to live somewhere else. The accommodation you arranged for Ben Gong before is good, the location is convenient, the light is sufficient, and the space is large. Ben Gong should stay there."
A greeting slowly appeared above the head of the steward eunuch.
What happened to these two ladies?
Don't you just eat some oranges?
How is it like killing them?
As for being so scared!
Although he was full of confusion, the eunuch in charge was very happy to be able to resolve the contradiction between the two concubines and save a lot of trouble.
After he arranged the residences of Concubine Jing and Concubine Li properly, he sent the oranges back to the imperial concubine, and by the way, he also shared the reactions of Concubine Jing and Concubine Li.
Xiao Xixi was quite disappointed after hearing this.
"Why hasn't anyone eaten the oranges that Ben Gong finally sent out?"
Baoqin didn't want to disappoint the imperial concubine, and hurriedly came up with an idea.
"The slaves can use those oranges to make fish in sour soup, and the taste is also very good."
Xiao Xixi's eyes lit up: "Good way!"
There are lakes in Shanglin Garden, and there are many fish and shrimps in the lake.
The guard caught a big fish from it and handed it over to the pantry. Baoqin cooked it himself, and soon made a hot fish in sour soup.
This dish was extremely appetizing, not only Xiao Xixi, but even Luo Qinghan thought it was good, so that the two of them had more meals than usual at noon today.
...
Good night everyone~
