My Fantastic Chef Wife - Chapter 440

However, as soon as I lay down, I heard someone spread that it was Li Chengjun.
Li Chengjun is the queen’s cousin, and the two had a good relationship when they were young. When the queen first entered the palace, Li Chengjun was afraid that she would be lonely in the harem, so he often went to the palace to play. Later, seeing the queen’s favor, he came less.
Li Chengjun is not an outsider, so the queen invited her in.
“Is the empress going to rest?” Li Chengjun bowed after coming in, and then asked directly: “Then am I disturbing the empress?”
The queen mother said: “I intend to rest, but I must not be able to sleep. You came just in time, just chat with the palace.”
Li Chengjun sat aside, looked up and down at the queen, and said: “I really want to come in and chat with the empress, as long as the empress doesn’t dislike it.”
“How come? Although our house is now a queen, our relationship will not change. We still talk about what we want, just like when we were young.”
Li Chengjun suddenly became depressed.
“What’s the matter with you? Why are you stubborn?” The queen asked wonderingly: “Don’t you always claim to be a female man? You can stand up to the thunderstorm. Did your uncle urge you to marry again?”
Li Chengjun shook his head: “It’s useless to remind me. Now I want to marry, but the person I want to marry doesn’t like me so much, so I’m worried about this.”
“Do you have a man you like? Who is it?” the queen asked curiously.
Li Chengjun said: “Xiao Baoshan!”
“Xiao…Xiaohouye?” The queen also looked surprised: “But he has a wife and children. If you want to marry him, don’t you want to be a concubine?”
“It’s fine to be a concubine,” Li Chengjun said angrily. “But right now, even if I am a concubine, people ignore me. I just met him occasionally in the small garden and asked him some questions about the art of war. Not very patient, just a few words just passed me by.”
“Puff…” The queen smiled.
“Why are you laughing?”
“I’m laughing, why are you discussing the art of war with others? You haven’t been on the battlefield yourself. If you want to show your favor to him, you should also pick something that people like.”
“He is the God of War. What does the God of War discuss without discussing the art of war?”
“You all know that people are fighting for all kinds of battles. They have experienced many battles and are naturally rich in experience. If you have never fought and read a few military books, you dare to go to others to discuss such issues? In front of the kitchen, ask people how much salt to put in a dish of greens, can they take care of you?”
“Then you said, what should I talk to him?” Li Chengjun asked.
The queen thought for a while: “I don’t understand this palace. In our harem, if you want to be liked by the emperor, you have to show your true skills, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing. The emperor likes to watch these. If you know what you like, you have to think about it carefully.”
Li Chengjun said: “I’m too lazy to think about it, I just want to beg you when I enter the palace.”
“What’s the matter?” The queen smiled: “You don’t want me to ask the emperor for you, so that the emperor can give you marriage directly?”
Li Chengjun’s eyes lit up: “You really are smart, and you guessed my mind all at once.”
“That won’t work,” the queen said: “I heard that Mrs. Xiaohou and the emperor are good friends. When the emperor did not ascend the throne, they lived together in the Tianshan tribe for a period of time. The emperor might not be able to do such a thing. .”
“What’s the matter? Just be a flat wife, or take a concubine. Is it true that Master Xiaohou will only marry one wife in his life, so he won’t take a concubine? I don’t believe any man would be like this. If you want to take a concubine, then just ask me directly. I don’t mind being a concubine.”
The queen still shook her head: “This…I am afraid it will be a little difficult. Although the palace has always been in the harem, I have also heard about the previous affairs. This Xiaohouye and his wife are childhood sweethearts and have been married in the countryside. Yes, the relationship has been very good.”
Li Chengjun shook the queen’s leg and said coquettishly: “You go and talk to the emperor, it doesn’t matter if you succeed or not, just do me a favor.”
The queen thought about it for a while before she said: “Go on, then the palace will help you open a mouth. As for the success, this palace is really not sure.”
“You are willing to help me lift a mouth.” There was a smile on Li Chengjun’s face.
“Does the uncle know this?” the queen asked again.
“Naturally know, he can’t control me, I will marry whoever I want to marry.”
“You are always so headstrong.”
“It’s not the first day you met me.”
…
It was not until the evening that Li Chengru went to the queen’s palace.
Today is her canonization ceremony after all, so he should stay in her palace at night, and will stay with her one more day every month.
After the two exchanged greetings for a while, the queen stopped talking.
Li Chengru could see that the queen had something to say, so he said: “What does the queen want to say?”
“…” The queen was even more nervous. She was afraid that this would make Li Chengru upset.
Today is the queen’s canonization ceremony after all, so Li Chengru is still extremely gentle towards her. He put his arms around her and said: “If you have something to say, I’m listening.”
The queen said with confidence: “That’s it, the youngest daughter of Uncle Wu Huang is the head of Chengjun County. She came to see me today and said she wanted to marry, she wanted to…”
As soon as Li Chengru heard that it was Li Chengjun, he smiled and said, “Why does she want to marry? Didn’t you think that none of the men in the capital matched her?”
The queen shook her head and said: “She has found a suitable one now, and said that the five emperors agreed, that is… Oh, she said, it is best to be a flat wife, if you can’t be a flat wife, then you can be a concubine. “
“Who is it?” Li Chengru still asked with interest.
“Xiao…Xiao Baoshan.” The queen said with some guilty conscience.
“Xiao Baoshan?” Li Chengru frowned, obviously a little unhappy.
“Xiao Baoshan probably won’t work. He said he didn’t want to take a concubine, and his wife is close to me. I can’t do anything I’m sorry to her!”
When the queen heard this, she was a little bit silly, and her face couldn’t hold up too much.
If she knew it, she didn’t say it, she knew it was such a consequence.
Li Chengru looked at the queen blushing and seemed ashamed, so he comforted her and said, “No problem, since Li Chengjun asked you to mention it, you will be deemed to have completed her instructions if you mention it. Next time she comes again, you will tell her. I don’t agree. If she wants to marry Xiaofu, whether she is a wife or a concubine, it all depends on her own ability. I don’t care about these things.”
With Li Chengru’s guidance, the queen understood it now, and her face soon turned cloudy, and she pouted like a little girl.
“The concubine waited for the emperor to go to bed.”
