Chapter 312 Go up the mountain and do vegetarian food
Xiao Xiguang didn't trust others, but he trusted Xu Yingying very much.
After listening to Xu Yingying's words, she nodded.
"Let your brother come see me sometime.
If he is good, I will give him a chance for your sake."
Xu Yingying's face was filled with emotion and she nestled into Xiao Xiguang's arms.
"My concubine's brother will definitely not disappoint the emperor."
Xiao Xiguang rubbed Xu Yingying's hair and took off her guard.
"I almost starved to death in the palace back then, thanks to you for taking care of me.
The people you trust, I will naturally trust.
Yingying, don’t worry.
Soon, I will give you the position of queen."
Xu Yingying looked up at Xiao Xiguang, her eyes a little red.
"As long as I can stay by the emperor's side, I am content."
Back then, Xu Yingying served as the companion of Princess Changping and spent some time in the palace.
At that time, Emperor Ren was still there.
She doesn't think highly of Xiao Xiguang because Xiao Xiguang's biological mother is just a palace maid.
Shortly after giving birth to Xiao Xiguang, she died of illness.
Later, the Queen Mother took pity on him and raised him under her knees.
It was okay for the first few years, but then the Queen Mother gave birth to Princess Changping, so naturally she didn't value him as much as before.
In a place like the palace, one eats people without spitting out their bones, and is outwardly respectful.
Secretly, Xiao Xiguang's food and drink expenses were deducted.
At that time, Emperor Ren and the Queen Mother were all concerned about Princess Changping, and Xiao Xiguang was cowardly and did not dare to speak out.
Until one day, I fainted from hunger in the imperial garden.
She happened to bump into him and she knew Xiao Xiguang's identity.
Emperor Ren also has no other heirs, as long as Xiao Jingze does not steal the throne.
That throne must belong to Xiao Xiguang.
With the intention of giving some small favors to bribe Xiao Xiguang to pave the way for the future.
She gave Xiao Xiguang a few pieces of cake every time he entered the palace.
He would always ask someone to deliver some food and drink items, so he gained Xiao Xiguang's trust.
Emperor Ren died, and Xiao Xiguang inherited the throne.
When choosing a palace concubine, she was the first one chosen.
She originally thought that the position of queen would be within her grasp.
And Xiao Xiguang did have this plan, but unfortunately, Xiao Jingze ruined it.
In recent years, my father has realized that he is getting older.
Xiao Jingze acted too ruthlessly, and he gradually wanted to quit.
But the brothers in the family were unwilling, so there was a case of embezzlement of ink and money.
Fortunately, thanks to Xiao Xiguang's efforts, the brothers were able to save their lives.
Her father retired and returned to his hometown without any involvement in government affairs, and she was demoted from her position.
Although she has regained her favor now, she also knows that Xiao Xiguang's favor alone cannot last long.
One day she will become old and lose her luster, and she will grow up with Xiao Xiguang.
The harem will welcome many new faces, and it won't be long before Xiao Xiguang will dislike her.
Until then, she had no support from her mother's family.
How can one survive in the harem without the emperor's favor?
For the future, she had to plan for herself in advance.
First, the Xu family must be allowed to return to court.
Right now, it's a rare opportunity.
Xu Yingying knew what Xiao Xiguang valued most, so she raised her head slightly and kissed the corner of his mouth.
"I have never thought about the position of queen.
The Regent will not agree either. Your Majesty must not quarrel with the Regent for my sake.
I just want the Emperor to be well, and that's enough."
Xiao Xiguang grabbed Xu Yingying's waist and pulled her into his arms.
He lowered his head and bit her lip hard.
"I am the true Dragon Emperor.
He, Xiao Jingze, is just a bastard.
Are you worthy enough to ride on my head?
Just wait, it won't be long.
I will let the world know what Xiao Jingze is..."
————————————————————
In order to prepare a vegetarian meal for Master Ran, Su Jinxiu took time out to write down recipes every day.
It was already midnight after finishing the work in the shop, and she was preparing to go home and rest.
But I heard several shrill dog barks in the alley, barking, woofing, woofing, woofing.
She quickly went over to take a look and found that the dog had been trapped under the basket.
He was shouting to save it, looking very pitiful.
She quickly stepped forward and rescued the dog.
After holding the dog and taking a closer look, I realized that this dog was the one that Xiao Ning'an had planned to give to Mrs. Ran.
She couldn't help but frown, not wanting to care.
But they found that the dog's hind legs were crushed. The dog probably knew that Su Jinxiu could save it.
He wailed miserably and licked Su Jinxiu's hand.
Help me, it hurts so much.
Su Jinxiu had no choice but to sigh and carry it home.
"Let's talk first, I'll bandage your wound.
When your legs are healed, you can go back to find Xiao Ning'an yourself.
If she finds you here with me, she might think that I stole you.
I've made enough enemies now and I don't want to cause any more trouble."
The dog seemed to understand and nuzzled Su Jinxiu's hand obediently.
Su Jinxiu was amused by its flattering appearance.
"You are lucky. If you come back to attract wealth, I will definitely not have a good life for you."
One person and one dog returned home. She lit the oil lamp and bandaged the dog's wound.
After feeding him some bone soup, the dog wolfed down the food and fell asleep at Su Jinxiu's feet.
The usually deserted courtyard became a bit more lively because of the addition of a dog.
The dog recovered quickly and was kept in the yard for a few days.
She was already alive and kicking, although Su Jinxiu was reluctant to let go.
I also know that I have to return the dog.
Early in the morning, she got into the carriage with her dog and food.
Prepare to go to Huangjue Temple and prepare a vegetarian meal for Master Liao Ran.
When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, someone was already waiting.
"Miss Su, Master asked us to pick you up."
Su Jinxiu nodded, jumped off the carriage, and motioned for them to move the things inside.
He hugged the dog and followed behind.
When she arrived at Master Ran's yard, she put the dog aside.
I looked at a few people embarrassedly and smiled.
"Can you please take a closer look.
If Princess Changping comes later, tell her that you found the dog here.
Return the dog to her."
On a day like today, Princess Changping will definitely come.
Just in time, return the dog to her.
Several people also understood what Su Jinxiu meant, nodded, and took the dog away.
Su Jinxiu entered the courtyard and saw that Ran had changed into a plain white robe today.
Wearing a red dress, with a hairpin on her head that resembles a hundred birds facing the phoenix.
She looked very energetic, with a bit more of the aura of the Queen Mother.
Seeing Su Jinxiu coming, she smiled gently.
"I made Miss Su laugh, because today is the day when I married the late emperor.
So, I dressed up.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been like this, and I’m not used to it.”
Su Jinxiu walked in the door, rolled up her sleeves and started working.
"Your Majesty is so beautiful. If the late emperor saw your Majesty looking like this, he would be very happy."
It would be inappropriate to call her a teacher's wife when she is dressed like this.
Ming Ran smiled and stepped forward, ready to help, but was stopped by Su Jinxiu.
"Your Majesty, I can't work today, just leave everything to me."
