Chapter 89

"What benefits can I get from consuming bird's nest made with blood?"

Consort Li was puzzled.

Lately, Concubine Liu gained favor, and the Empress's father returned home to farm, both their prestige was at its peak. So, is she, a dignified consort, being overlooked?!

She is the imperial consort who has raised a prince! If she does not even qualify for the ginseng bird's nest, who in the world does?

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue and the Internal Affairs Department do not regard me or the fourth prince as important!" Late at night, Consort Li hastily brought her palace maid to the Chonghua Palace, where the emperor was resting, and indignantly presented herself!

She cannot be wronged, otherwise, the fourth prince will also be belittled.

Moreover, her dignity is being trampled on, how can she govern the two concubines who live with her?

"Your Majesty, you must uphold justice for me!"

It was almost midnight, Xiao Yunzhou was still reviewing the memorials sent by the Ministry of Revenue, discussing with Jiang Li how to use the people's savings.

Suddenly, he was interrupted by Consort Li's clamor.

Xiao Yunzhou was speechless, "What happened?"

The Minister of Revenue, Jiang Li, yawned awkwardly.

As soon as Consort Li entered the study of the Chonghua Palace, she gave him a stern look of reprimand.

"Is Minister Jiang also here?"

"Do I need to greet Minister Jiang as well? Do I need to kneel to Minister Jiang?"

Jiang Li, from the Ministry of Revenue, awkwardly looked at the emperor.

Xiao Yunzhou waved his hand at him, "You go sit on the side and rest for a while."

Consort Li glared.

Only then did Xiao Yunzhou turn to her, "What's the matter, why aren't you asleep at this late hour?"

Consort Li took a deep breath and respectfully bowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, don't I always feel cold, with icy hands and feet? The Imperial Hospital has always said that I should nourish my health in winter."

"Today the north wind is howling, so I asked the kitchen to prepare some bird's nest porridge with ginseng, thinking of nourishing my body for a few days."

"Who would have thought," Consort Li gave Jiang Li a big white eye, "The people from the Internal Affairs Department said the Ministry of Revenue did not agree and asked me to fill out some kind of profit expectation table for using bird's nest."

"Your Majesty," Consort Li stamped her foot, looking coquettishly at the emperor, "Aren't these servants looking down on me?"

"What profits can there be from a nourishing food? Is it not a profit if I am healthy?"

"Do they think I am not worthy?"

Consort Li fiercely criticized the Ministry of Revenue and the Internal Affairs Department, but just as she was sobbing and complaining halfway, she heard Emperor Xiao Yunzhou actually grunt in agreement.

He nodded at her very affirmatively, "Indeed, Consort Li, you eating bird's nest does not bring any benefits, so stop eating it, okay?"

Consort Li: "???"

She almost doubted if she heard it wrong.

"Your Majesty, what... did you say..."

In the past, the emperor loved Taoism and was not particularly interested in coming to the harem, at most he was fickle.
