Chapter 81 The male protagonist is the emperor(1/3)

The next day.

When Gu Wenjing was called out by Eunuch Li, he got up before dawn, washed and changed clothes, and prepared to go to the morning court.

The queen told the palace servants to prepare breakfast last night. After Gu Wenjing got up, he could have breakfast and go to the morning court.

He has also traveled through the ancient world several times before, and he is also highly qualified to stand in the forefront of the Golden Palace.

However, this is the first time sitting on the dragon throne as an emperor.

Gu Wenjing sat on the dragon chaise of the Golden Palace and looked down at the civil and military officials below.

All the officials bowed together, "Long live my emperor!"

"Everyone is calm!"

Gu Wenjing looked at the court officials below and found that this feeling of condescendingness was really good. He could see clearly any small movements the officials below made.

For example, a minister of the Ministry of Revenue who secretly covered his hands and yawned...

There was nothing important in the morning court this morning, it was just a routine meeting, and the memorials were mostly praises, so Gu Wenjing quickly announced his retirement to the court.

After the morning court, Gu Wenjing returned to the imperial study room to review the memorials. He thought that the taste difference between the breakfast he used at the queen this morning and the dinner he used at Chen Xi yesterday, so he ordered Eunuch Li: "Let Xipin prepare lunch today and present it."

Although I don’t know what Chen Xi’s portable space is and whether he can take it away from her, it doesn’t affect his use of Chen Xi as the imperial chef now. Anyway, I don’t dare to keep the Lingquan when cooking.

Gu Wenjing did not go to Chen Xi for food, but ordered someone to go to her place to serve food directly, and looked like she was treating her palace as an imperial kitchen, which made Chen Xi become popular in the harem.

Originally, the focus of the topic of women in the harem was to invite favors, but was punished by the emperor to play the piano all night in the imperial garden. Then, because of his good cooking skills, Xipin, who was regarded as the imperial chef, became their target of ridicule.

If the emperor went to Xipin's palace every day because of her good cooking skills, then these concubines would only learn to practice cooking secretly, jealousy and hatred. But now Gu Wenjing did not go to Chen Xi's palace and only ordered her to cook, so the concubines in the harem would naturally gloat.

Although Chen Xi was angry at Gu Wenjing's behavior of only treating her as a chef, she was still calm and calmly prepared three meals for Gu Wenjing every day, waiting for Eunuch Li to bring people away.

However, her calm behavior seemed to others not be favored and dare not be arrogant.

So when Chen Xi went to Kunning Palace to pay homage to the queen, some concubines couldn't help but sarcastically said: "I heard that Sister Xipin has good cooking skills, and I don't know when we sisters will try Sister Xipin's craftsmanship!"

Chen Xi has been traveling to this ancient harem for a long time, and he has long developed the skills to think about these women's voice-overs.

So she immediately heard that the concubine just now was implicitly mocking her as a cook and only served them to cook.

Chen Xi directly retorted: "Sister is joking. My sister is busy preparing His Majesty's meal every day. Where can I have time to do other things?"

Even if she is a cook, she is the emperor's exclusive cook! Still want to taste the dishes she cooks? Haha, if she wastes the spiritual spring on such a person, she would rather feed the dog!

Chen Xi cherishes the spiritual springs in her own space, because those spiritual springs with great effect can only get water from the springs, and the diluted spiritual water flowing from the springs to the ponds is far inferior in effect, so she can only use it for daily bathing for skin care.

The spiritual springs she drinks on weekdays and the spiritual springs she uses to cook for the emperor are all real spiritual springs that are rare and undiluted from the springs.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Gu Wenjing spent more than a month in a row to stay at those low-ranking concubines who were not favored by the original owner and might not have been able to see the emperor for several months, because he was worried that if he had too much contact with the person beside the pillow who was familiar with the original owner, he would reveal flaws, so it would be better to avoid it for a while.

Chen Xi prepared three meals for Gu Wenjing every day for more than a month, and the amount of spiritual springs consumed was quite large, but Gu Wenjing never stayed in her palace, which made Chen Xi, who was originally confident that he could hook him with delicious food, feel a little restless.

So on that day, Chen Xi did not wait for Eunuch Li to send someone to serve dinner, but she personally took the people with the prepared food to the imperial study in advance.

The original owner was a diligent wise ruler. Every day the memorials could be resolved on the same day and then they would be corrected on the same day, even if they had to stay up all night. So of course Gu Wenjing would not collapse the original master's diligent personality.

When Chen Xi came, Gu Wenjing was still working on government affairs.

Eunuch Li came to report: "Your Majesty, Master Xi is asking for a meeting!"

Gu Wenjing paused, "What are she here to do?"

Eunuch Li replied: "Master Xi is here to deliver dinner to His Majesty."

Gu Wenjing understood that he had not been there for many days, so he came to compete for favor by the opportunity to deliver dinner.

He pondered for two seconds and said, "Tell her to come in."

A hint of surprise flashed in Eunuch Li's eyes. He thought that the emperor had only asked Xipin to serve food for more than a month, and instead of going to Xipin's palace for food in person like before, it was because Xipin fell out of favor! Now it seems that His Majesty allowed Xipin to enter the imperial study, but Xipin has not yet fallen out of favor.

Eunuch Li walked out of the imperial study room and smiled just right at Chen Xi who was at the door: "Your Majesty tells you that the master Xi's master came in to see you!"

As for the palace maids around Chen Xi, they could not enter. The meal they were holding was taken over by the little eunuch who was serving the imperial study room.

After Chen Xi came in, Gu Wenjing smelled the fragrance of food and had no intention of continuing to work. He placed the two uncorrected and revised memorials on the side of the table, and then the eunuchs placed the dishes one by one on the imperial table in front of him.

Chen Xi saluted Gu Wenjing with a graceful attitude: "I'm going to see Your Majesty!"

Instead of looking at her, Gu Wenjing stared at the food in front of her and couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and pick up the dishes. After he got tired of talking, he remembered Chen Xilai, "Flat!"

Chen Xi bowed her head and didn't dare to look up, so naturally she didn't see what Gu Wenjing was doing. She thought Gu Wenjing had waited for a moment before asking her to get up, but she was deliberately knocking her.

Chen Xi thought silently about where he had done something wrong during this period, so that the slim scumbag emperor remembered it in his heart.

Gu Wenjing looked at Chen Xi and smiled and said, "This dish was made by you, Xipin, so you can try it together."

After Chen Xi thanked him, he walked to the table. He was not as trembling as an ordinary concubine when facing the emperor. He sat down naturally.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Gu Wenjing talked to Chen Xi with a gentle attitude and talked about daily life: "I heard that you were good at drawing landscape pictures when you were in the boudoir?"

As a halfway through, Chen Xi was the concubine in the palace as soon as he walked through it. He thought about how to use his portable space to compete for favor. His memory of Xipin in the boudoir was to briefly understand Xipin's family situation.

So when Gu Wenjing talked to her about what Xipin had learned in the boudoir, she tried hard to revisit Xipin's memory before saying nervously: "I have learned some at home, but I haven't painted it for a long time, so I'm much more unfamiliar."

In fact, Xipin is very good at painting, especially landscape pictures. It is not easy to be famous as a woman, and it is not known to outsiders, but Xipin's family knows it. But Chen Xi traveled over here and only inherited Xipin's memory and did not inherit Xipin's skills.

So Chen Xi prayed nervously: "Don't let me draw on the spot! I don't know how to draw landscape paintings!"

If she had a messy simple graffiti, would she be killed by the emperor for deceiving the king?

Chen Xi felt very regretful in his heart why he couldn't think of it today and took the initiative to come to the imperial study room to find the emperor!

Of course, Gu Wenjing noticed Chen Xi's nervousness. He deliberately raised this topic. When the concubine entered the palace for talent show, she had to perform her talents. The original owner remembered that Xipin's talent was to paint on the spot. However, he knew that Chen Xi was not the real Xipin, so she probably could not draw, especially landscape painting.

He did not make a request to let Chen Xi paint on the spot. After all, he did not want to expose Chen Xi's identity or take the opportunity to blame her. He just used this to make Chen Xi give up the idea of ​​always putting in front of him.

Soon Gu Wenjing changed the topic and asked about Xipin's parents and brothers. This topic was much safer than the one just now, but Chen Xi still racked his brains to answer him, fearing that he would say something that was inconsistent with his identity and would arouse suspicion.

When Gu Wenjing finally let her go and allowed her to retreat, Chen Xi felt that the huge rock in her heart fell, and she felt much more relaxed. She no longer wanted to compete for anything else. Now she just wanted to stay away from the emperor who might ask her to paint.

After that, as Gu Wenjing expected, Chen Xi never dared to take the opportunity to invite favor again. Even Gu Wenjing didn't set foot in her palace, and she felt relieved.

However, Chen Xi did not give up her ambitions. She didn't want to live her life without favor or authority in this life.

In this palace, if she had no emperor's favor, even the queen's life would not be easy, let alone her a little concubine.

So Chen Xi began to practice painting skills secretly according to the original owner's memory. Not to mention that he reached the level of praise that Xipin was as good as before, he had to at least draw a landscape painting that was acceptable.

She wouldn't have to worry about the emperor's interest in the future and asked her to paint ink, but she could only look confused...

Gu Wenjing had eaten with Lingquan for many days, and he felt that the thunder-type superpowers he brought with him as he traveled through time became much stronger.

In the last world, I wanted to make the thunder-type superpower stronger. In addition to waiting for the superpower to gradually increase, I would kill zombies and save people. There were no zombies in this world to kill him, so he could only wait for time slowly. Unexpectedly, the spiritual springs in Chen Xi's accompanying space also had such a great effect on the growth of superpowers.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Gu Wenjing sat in his bathtub, and all the people serving him were sent out.

In the misty water vapor, he reached out to condense a thunder ball with lightning. He looked at the lilac thunder ball for a while, and then threw the thunder ball into the wide bathhouse. A pool of hot water was swamming with lightning.

Gu Wenjing, who was taking a bath in the pool, closed his eyes slightly, leaned against the wall of the pool with great pleasure, and felt the feeling of being numbed by electricity.

Not long after, the lightning in the bathhouse was absorbed into his body again.

He spent a long time in the bathtub, so Gu Wenjing walked out of the bathtub and wiped the water stains with a bath towel to put on his bedclothes.

The enjoyment of this ancient aristocratic bathhouse was not worse than that of modern times. The only difference is that modern times rely on technology to maintain the temperature of water, while in ancient times, artificial hot water is used to maintain the temperature of water in the bathhouse. As long as it has power and power, in ancient times, a lot of manpower and material resources were consumed, and it also took a lot of manpower and material resources to achieve certain modern material conditions.

Gu Wenjing walked out of the bathroom in his bedding clothes. The great palace maid waiting outside quickly came forward to wipe his wet hair. His gentle movements would never let him feel the feeling of pulling his hair at all.

He sat and read a book for a while, and the great palace maid who was rubbing his hair behind him was busy. Suddenly, he felt a soft and soft man gently stroke his neck from time to time, with a teasing meaning.

Gu Wenjing reached out his hand like lightning and grabbed the hand that was causing trouble behind him, and then dragged the palace maid behind him to the front of him.

"Your Majesty..." The palace maid called her in a soft and charming voice, rubbing towards him weakly and bonelessly.

Gu Wenjing frowned slightly and pushed the person away, calling Eunuch Li: "Little Li, please take her away. Come and wipe my hair dry."

Eunuch Li looked at the great palace maid kneeling on the ground with a panic after being pushed away, and felt aware of it and asked the two eunuchs to take the people out.

The beautiful and charming palace maid trembled slightly and had a pale face, but she did not beg for mercy, but was taken obediently. Because she knew what she did meant. Since the emperor rejected her, it would be useless for her to beg for mercy, and she had already prepared for failure before she did it.

After that, Eunuch Li took over the work of the great palace maid, wiped Gu Wenjing's long hair with a dry cotton cloth, and tweaked the wet hair for him little by little.

After his hair was wiped dry, Gu Wenjing put down the book in his hand, got up and walked to the window, draped his hair and blew it for a while. After confirming that his long hair had completely dried, he went to the huge dragon bed that could allow more than a dozen men to sleep side by side.

If you wash your hair at night and don’t completely dry your hair, you will sleep, which is prone to migraines.

Gu Wenjing did not go to the harem today, but stayed in his bedroom and slept alone.

He felt that he needed to give himself a vacation and have some rest.

So he didn't stay in the harem for ten days.

More than ten days later, the queen sent someone to invite him to Kunning Palace for lunch.

Gu Wenjing was no longer accustomed to ordinary meals, so he ordered people to take the meals made by Chen Xi to Kunning Palace.

The meals brought from Xipin's palace were placed on the table one by one. The queen looked a little ugly. After all, no matter who it was, she was asking her husband to have dinner with her and carefully prepared a table of delicious dishes. As a result, her husband said she didn't have to eat what you prepared. Then she brought the takeaway from her concubine, and she would look ugly and feel very angry.
