Chapter 183
"I thought it would be a shame to let Concubine An work so hard in vain."
"Why don't you ask the Emperor and the Empress Dowager for permission to promote Jin'an to the position of Grand Concubine?"
Hongli nodded slightly when he heard this. "I had overlooked this. It should be like this, Empress Dowager. I am thinking of promoting the Grand Concubine to the Grand Concubine. What do you think, Empress Dowager?"
"You are all filial, so it's good. From now on, you can be called Concubine Rong."
...
When the Imperial Noble Consort was canonized, all eyes in the harem fell on Jingren Palace.
Everyone knows.
The Empress Dowager's position is vacant, so is the appointment of the Imperial Noble Consort now a precursor to the appointment of the Empress in the future?
But now there is not even a concubine in the harem, Qingying is so far away, and others have no intention of struggling.
It allowed her to have a safe and healthy pregnancy.
Hailan also began to frequently go in and out of Shoukang Palace.
With the guidance and instruction of the Empress Dowager, he became more and more dignified.
He has completely lost his previous petty-mindedness and timidity.
...
Outside the Yangxin Hall.
Wei Yanwan, carrying a food box, smiled and bowed to Wang Qin. "Eunuch Wang, I'm here on the orders of the Imperial Noble Consort to bring some snacks to His Majesty. I wonder if His Majesty is free right now?"
Wang Qin roughly understood the peculiarity of the person before him.
He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Miss, please don't be polite. I will pass the message on. Please wait a moment."
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Wei Yanwan's cheeks flushed slightly, as if she was looking forward to what was about to happen.
Wang Qin entered the room for a moment, and when he came out again, he bowed slightly and said, "Miss Wei, the emperor is free at the moment, please come in."
Wei Yanwan thanked him again, carried the food box, stepped into the Yangxin Palace, and walked slowly with her head lowered.
"Your servant pays respects to the Emperor. May the Emperor be blessed with good health and happiness."
Hongli leaned on the couch, holding a thin booklet in his hand.
Hearing the voice, he looked Wei Yanwan up and down for a moment, then said with a smile, "Get up. What good things did your master ask you to bring?"
Wei Yanwan stood up and walked forward a few steps again, putting the food box on the table.
"Your Majesty, this is the water chestnut flour cake that the Imperial Noble Consort personally made this morning. The Imperial Noble Consort is pregnant, so she can't eat anything too sweet, so I'll try something lighter. The Imperial Noble Consort said that Your Majesty doesn't like anything too sweet either, so I think he'll like it."
"The Imperial Concubine is thoughtful."
Wei Yanwan's hands kept moving. "Your Majesty is right. The Imperial Noble Consort always mentions you. If she wasn't pregnant, she would have come to give you some snacks in person today."
At this point, a plate of snacks was placed in front of Hongli.
He took out the silver chopsticks and offered them to the other party, "Your Majesty, would you like to try it?"
The pretty girl looked at Hongli with some expectation in her eyes, which made him feel a little warm in his heart.
He reached out to take the chopsticks, and whether intentionally or not, he touched Wei Yanwan's hand.
Her fingertips were slightly cold, and when they suddenly touched Hongli's warm fingers, Wei Yanwan shivered slightly.
The blush on her face suddenly became clearer.
Wei Yanwan suppressed her shame and tried to remain calm.
However, after Hongli glanced at the other person, his smile did not diminish.
He chuckled, picked up a piece of dessert and put it into his mouth. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Your master's cooking skills have become more and more advanced."
"As long as the Emperor likes it, His Majesty will surely be happy when she knows about it."
I don’t know what Hongli was thinking.
Hearing this, he picked up another piece and waved to Wei Yanwan, "You've worked hard all the way here, why don't you try some too?"
Wei Yanwan was stunned, a trace of panic flashed across her face.
"Your Majesty, I dare not..."
Although he didn't dare to say it, his movements were a little stiff.
Hongli didn't say anything, but leaned forward, and the snacks were delivered to Wei Yanwan. "It's my reward, so why shouldn't I dare?"
The two blushes on Wei Yanwan's face became more noticeable.
Subconsciously, she reached out to take it, but Hongli stared at Wei Yanwan with burning eyes and shook his head.
Wei Yanwan's eyes were filled with surprise. She made up her mind and moved forward, opening her mouth and taking a small bite.
Hongli's laughter followed, "How is it? Do you like this snack?"
With the handkerchief tucked into the corner of her mouth, Wei Yanwan said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Your Majesty, this servant feels very good."
Although the voice was low, Hongli heard it clearly.
She looked so shy but not timid, which made him even more interested.
