Chapter 153

When empress dowager Guo heard this, she couldn't help saying, "how could the princess think of cooking herself? What's the use of so many servants in the palace?"

"There's no way," Wen said shamelessly. "The king doesn't like what others do. He only likes what I do."

Empress Dowager Guo held her sharp nails and squeezed them into the palm of her hand.

Gu linchao only likes ginseng chicken soup boiled in warm water?

The Empress Dowager smiled so deeply that the wrinkles on her face were much deeper. Holding Wen's hand, she smiled and said, "chao'er, he likes to drink your ginseng chicken soup?"

"Yes, I spent the whole afternoon cooking a cup for him last afternoon. When he came back in the evening, he drank nothing left. For this reason, he gave me a lot of things." Wen said without shame.

Gu linchao, who was far away in the barracks, somehow sneezed several times in succession.

"The LORD loves to drink so much that I naturally have to cook more soup for him. No, I went to the morning market at dawn this morning and personally picked up a little hen. When I first came into the palace, the soup was still stewing on the stove. I don't know whether the Lord has returned to the house. Do my servant girl remember to bring the soup to him?"

As he spoke, Wen Zhenzhen frowned, his face sad.

The Empress Dowager was delighted.

Sure enough, her eyes were good. She chose such a kind and virtuous daughter-in-law for chao'er.

"Mother Zeng, quickly take the box of Nanzhu from the dressing table of the mourning family." the Empress Dowager took Wen's hand and narrowed her eyes with a smile. "A little girl like you should dress up more. The box of Nanzhu is useless here. I'll give it to you."

Empress Dowager Guo's heart was bleeding when she heard the speech.

Since it's useless to keep it, why didn't you bring it out to me before?

"Thank you, empress mother." Wen was elated.

I didn't expect to receive a gift once she entered the palace, so she really should enter the palace more in the future.

The Empress Dowager seemed to remember now that there was also a concubine of a big daughter-in-law and a grandson in the temple. She felt that she favoured one over the other and couldn't do it too obvious. She said to Gu Heng, "when you marry the queen, the Queen's grandmother will also prepare gifts for your queen."

Gu Heng didn't care about this, but the old man spoke. He had to say, "thank you, grandma Huang." after that, he looked at several people in the hall and got up and said, "grandma Huang, my son and minister still have some political affairs to deal with, so he went to the imperial study first."

"You go. It's important to be busy with political affairs." the Empress Dowager said lovingly.

Gu Heng nodded and looked at Wen Ruyi. "Liu Er, do you want to sit here with the Empress Dowager or go with me?"

Wenruyi glanced at Wenzhuo's direction and felt a little unwilling, but she also knew that if she sat down again, she would only humiliate herself. She got up and said, "my concubine is not feeling well, so let's go with the emperor." then she saluted the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Guo in a regular manner, "my concubine will leave first."

The Empress Dowager nodded and asked lightly, "serve the emperor well."

"Yes." Wen Ruyi answered respectfully, but she hated it to death in her heart.

In their eyes, she was probably no different from a humble concubine. Even if she was promoted from Chang Zai to Jieyu in a short time.

In fact, she was quite complacent about being promoted so quickly, but when she saw that Wen was so valued and rare by the Empress Dowager today, her sense of superiority seemed ridiculous.
