The Female Psychology PHD Got Time Travelled To The Royal Harem

Chapter 22

Concubine Li fell ill, and naturally, the Xuanwu Emperor was concerned. For five consecutive days, he stayed in Concubine Li's palace.

Such favoritism, she truly was the most favored in the harem.

The Internal Affairs Department bestowed gifts like a flowing river, ceaselessly pouring into the Changxin Palace. Many were waiting to see the joke that Hexi Palace would become.

After all, ever since Jiang Xinyue entered the palace, she had shared half of Concubine Li's favor. The concubines in the harem were all looking forward to the two pulling each other's hair out!

Even the Empress and Consort Liang hinted several times, suggesting she do something to win back the Emperor's heart.

Jiang Xinyue pretended not to understand, spending her days with Xi Que, Shuang Jiang, and Jiang Chuan, along with a few other palace maids and eunuchs, researching delicious food behind closed doors in Hexi Palace.

The two young imperial chefs in the Imperial Kitchen had mastered the secret of roasting meat. It was said that they were even summoned by the Xuanwu Emperor to the Changxin Palace to roast meat exclusively for the Emperor and Concubine Li.

The dog Emperor really knew how to use her achievements to curry favor.

This made all the imperial chefs green with envy.

Those old imperial chefs who had previously looked down on them were now shamelessly asking for the method of roasting meat.

Everyone thought that Concubine Li had not taken Concubine Zhenji seriously before, so she did not compete for favor. Now that she realized the threat of Concubine Zhenji, she made a move that caused Hexi Palace to lose favor.

The hottest part of summer had passed, and it was already autumn.

Jiang Xinyue, with her unparalleled culinary skills of this era, did not live a hard life as the other concubines in the palace had imagined. Instead, she seemed to have become more rounded.

There was no choice, as autumn arrived, she had stewed many nourishing and lung-moistening Cantonese soups in the Imperial Kitchen. Drinking them made one's complexion rosy and radiant.

Even Empress Zhu, Consort Liang, and Consort De had some sent to their palaces. They all felt that their bodies had improved this autumn.

The eldest princess, the second princess, and the third prince, ever since they had tasted the roast meat in Hexi Palace, would come to Concubine Zhenji's place every now and then to enjoy the food, only leaving when their bellies were round.

Half a month had passed, and the Emperor had not visited Hexi Palace.

Because Concubine Li was ill, the Imperial Physician said it was a disease caused by worry. She needed to rest and could not be stimulated. Otherwise, her body would collapse, and it would be difficult for her to conceive in the future.

Chengqian Palace—

The atmosphere in the entire hall was very low. The Xuanwu Emperor's temper was not very good recently, and the palace maids who served him were trembling with fear, daring not to make any mistakes.

"Your Majesty..."

Wang Dequan's heart was in his throat: "Concubine Zhenji has gone to Yikun Palace again."

Carrying a pot of beef soup with radish and dried tangerine peel...

"Snap!"

The wolf hair brush in the Xuanwu Emperor's hand was snapped in half. The ink splashed on his hand, but he didn't care. He pulled over a piece of paper to wipe his hand and said expressionlessly: "I know, you can withdraw!"
