Yi Tong turned around resignedly and went to cook.
"Empress, Lian'er wants to drink lotus seed soup." Zhuo Lian said softly from behind.
Yitong really wanted to turn around and give her a slap in the face. Just eat when you eat, and you even ordered your grandma’s food!?
Yitong took Zixuan to cook, while Mu Yanqin stayed there to chat and laugh with her.
"Princess! That Concubine Lian is really too much! What kind of status does she have, and she dares to let the princess cook for her!?" Zixuan was indignant.
"Okay, don't say any more." Yitong was also unhappy, but had no other choice.
She had no choice but to accept her fate and prepare the ingredients. Now that Zhuo Lian was pregnant, she would blame herself for anything that went wrong.
After the lotus seed soup was cooked, Yitong personally brought it over, and Zhuo Lian quickly reached out to pick it up.
But the empress stopped her: "Where have the maids gone? How can I ask Concubine Lian to pick them up? What if I touch them?"
Next to her, Yumei quickly stepped forward and took the bowl, but she was so angry that she couldn't speak.
This queen really never misses any opportunity to find trouble!
Looking up at Mu Yanqin, she saw him giving her a comforting look, which made Yitong feel a little better.
Zhuo Lian picked up the spoon, took a small bite, and immediately beamed: "Queen, my sister's craftsmanship is truly well-deserved! It's so delicious!"
The queen smiled: "As long as you like it!"
Zhuo Lian ate most of the bowl. Seeing that she really liked it, the Queen ordered Yitong: "Since Lian'er likes your cooking so much, in the future, whenever Lian'er wants to eat, you will cook it!"
Yitong took a step forward to refute, but was held back by Mu Yanqin. She turned back to look at him searchingly, and Mu Yanqin shook his head at her almost invisible.
Yitong had no choice but to step back.
The queen had enough trouble and finally shouted: "Go back to the palace."
Yitong sent away these plague gods and became even more angry. She sat in the room without saying a word.
Zixuan didn't dare to say anything nearby.
"Still angry?" Mu Yanqin walked in and saw Yitong's face was unhappy.
"Why are you here if you don't accompany your son?" Yitong became even more angry when she saw him.
"You'er." Mu Yanqin called her softly and gently.
Yitong's heart skipped a beat.
"Don't I know how deep the water in the palace is?" Mu Yanqin sat next to her and put his arms around her.
Yitong struggled twice, but it was no use, so she obeyed.
"I am really looking forward to this child Zhuo Lian. After all, it is the king's first child. I can rest assured that I will leave it to your care. The queen is already biased against you. Now as long as you are upright, the queen will like you.
"Mu Yanqin gave him kind words and advice.
Yitong sneered in her heart: "Why should I make the queen like her?" But seeing Mu Yanqin's face, she felt that she had the responsibility to reassure him.
Seeing that Yitong was silent, Mu Yanqin knew that Yitong had listened to his words, so he said after a while: "Okay, you are tired after working for a long time. Take a rest!"
After saying that, he took off his coat and lay on Yitong's bed.
