Chapter 108 Sending Soup
Delicate and heavy boxes were placed in the hall, made of precious wood and inlaid with gorgeous metal decorations. The lids were tightly closed, but through the cracks, one could see the golden and silver light gleaming inside, the dazzling brilliance emitted by countless gold, silver and jewels.
When Eunuch Liu opened the box, a dazzling light filled the air. Inside was a variety of treasures: gold necklaces, diamond rings, gemstone earrings... agate jade, gold and silver silk, as well as century-old ginseng, heavenly snow lotus, and other items.
All the valuable things in the world were placed in front of Zhou Lingge.
Zhou Lingge had never seen so many rare items before. She couldn't help but open her mouth and was almost stunned.
Qiao'er and Jinxin were even more dumbfounded, staring blankly at the boxes on the ground with shining eyes.
Eunuch Liu glanced at Zhou Lingge's shocked look with great satisfaction.
"Your Majesty has accumulated these treasures for many years... Now, His Majesty has brought them all to you as a gift. This shows how precious and important you are to His Majesty."
"His Majesty has said that Your Majesty should relax and take good care of the pregnancy... In the future, he will be able to give Your Majesty more than this."
Zhou Lingge's heart couldn't help but beat fast. No one doesn't like gold, silver, jewelry and rare treasures.
She is a mortal, a member of flesh and blood, and she is not immune.
She really didn't expect that Qin Feiling would give her so many good things.
The value of these things is almost equivalent to half of the national treasury.
Did Qin Feiling bring all the treasures from his private treasury to give to her?
The way he comforted himself was really tacky and domineering... This man was quite good at coaxing people.
Zhou Lingge was very satisfied and couldn't help but smile.
She asked Qiao'er to take a few pieces of jewelry and gave them to Eunuch Liu as a reward: "Actually, whether it is a treasure or not, I don't really value it, but the most precious thing is the kindness your majesty has for me."
"I am truly deeply moved... His Majesty truly puts so much thought into this."
As she spoke, she wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Eunuch Liu's eyes were full of smiles. Oh, the imperial concubine was so moved that she even cried.
He quickly held up the jewels in his arms and said, "As long as your Majesty likes it... then I will take my leave."
Zhou Lingge nodded and asked Qiao'er to politely see Eunuch Liu off.
Jin Xin squatted in front of the large boxes, her eyes filled with excitement: "Your Majesty, these gold and silver treasures...even if you squander them for your entire life, you probably won't be able to spend them all."
Zhou Lingge's mood gradually improved.
Qin Feiling suddenly made such a big move, shouldn’t she go to thank Qin Feiling?
She looked through the bronze mirror, stroked the white jade hairpin in her hair, her eyes were charming... and her smile was extremely bright.
"Register it and have it moved into the warehouse."
"Jinxin asked someone to make some chicken soup. I will go to thank His Majesty."
Jin Xin quickly agreed and went to work immediately.
Two hours later, Zhou Lingge dressed up carefully, put the cooked chicken soup into the lunch box, slowly got on the sedan chair, and went to the imperial study.
The weather was sunny and clear, with not a single cloud in the sky. She, dressed in a gorgeous imperial concubine's attire, sat atop an exquisite sedan chair. The sedan was shrouded in a thin, gauze curtain that fluttered gently in the breeze, lending it a mysterious and elegant air. Her face was lightly made up, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her eyes like autumn water, her lips like cherries, her skin as white as snow, like a fairy descended to earth.
Wherever the sedan chair passed, the palace maids knelt down and saluted.
The title of "Imperial Concubine" showed her unrivaled glory and honor, which was the most favored among the six palaces.
Concubine Liu and Concubine Yu, who were taking a walk in the Imperial Garden, were watching Concubine Yu coming from afar.
Their faces changed slightly, and they quickly stepped aside, kneeling on the ground and saluting.
Zhou Lingge glanced at them indifferently, not taking them seriously at all. At this moment, they were like ants.
The sedan passed by them without stopping for a moment, completely ignoring them.
Concubine Liu knelt on the ground, and the sharp stones rubbed her knees.
She clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with resentment and resentment.
In the past, she was almost on the same level as Concubine Yu.
However, she was demoted to a noble lady, while Zhou Lingge was promoted again and again, directly surpassing everyone and becoming the favored Concubine Yu.
The sedan chair gradually disappeared from their sight. Concubine Liu bit her lip and slowly raised her head to stare at the sedan chair that was gradually disappearing. "Why are you so arrogant? You are just using your beauty to please others..."
Yu Changzai was startled and quickly grabbed her arm to remind her, "Sister Liu, you'd better be careful. Don't offend the Imperial Concubine... She is currently in the Emperor's favor, and we can't compare to her."
Concubine Liu pushed Concubine Yu away with great disdain: "Coward, no wonder you haven't served in the emperor's bed since entering the palace. This young lady is different from you..."
She no longer paid any attention to Yu Changzai and left angrily with a wave of her sleeves.
She just saw that Concubine Wan also went to the imperial study.
Haha, I guess another big drama is about to happen, right?
Concubine Wan has the Empress Dowager behind her. If these two people fight, it will definitely be exciting. She is just waiting to watch the show.
Zhou Lingge didn't care about Liu Guiren and Yu Changzai's envy and jealousy towards her.
There was not a single woman in the harem who was not jealous of her.
She was used to it.
She soon arrived at the imperial study.
It was rare that there was only one palace servant guarding the door of the imperial study.
Zhou Lingge couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and Qiao'er carefully helped her get off the sedan chair.
She straightened her messy dress, picked up her lunch box, and walked lightly to the door of the imperial study.
The palace servant's expression changed, and he knelt down hurriedly: "Your servant greets the Imperial Concubine. Why did the Imperial Concubine come here at this time?"
Zhou Lingge raised his eyebrows, as if he had immediately caught something.
"Why, is Your Majesty busy?"
The palace maid didn't dare to look up at Zhou Lingge, and could only stammer back, "Yes... Your Majesty, I am indeed busy."
"How about you come back later, my lady?"
Zhou Lingge glanced at Qiao'er, who immediately took out a bag of gold leaves and stuffed it into the palace maid's arms.
The palace attendant hesitated and whispered, "An hour ago... Concubine Wan came to serve soup to His Majesty on the orders of the Empress Dowager."
Zhou Lingge pursed her lips and smiled faintly.
"An hour ago?"
"Concubine Wan hasn't come out yet?"
The palace maid nodded slowly.
Qiao'er's face looked extremely ugly, and what this meant was almost self-evident.
Your Majesty, are you favoring Concubine Wan in broad daylight?
Just an hour ago, he sent someone to give her mother so many treasures.
In the next hour, he made love with Concubine Wan?
