Immortal Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace Chapter 23

Chapter 23 23. Noble Concubine Hu and the Southern Zhou Treasure

In the afternoon.

In the empress' outer hall.

On the phoenix chair, Xiao Yunxi sent away the palace maids, gracefully lifted the teacup, and took a sip of the tea. While she enjoyed the tea, her gorgeous eyes glanced at the woman who knelt behind the long table.

She was a stunning beauty that could make any man's mouth dry and feel heated.

There was an irresistible seductive aura about her.

Beneath her beautiful face was a plump body. Even though she was wearing a slightly larger elegant dress, Xiao Yunxi, with just one glance, could still see through the larger than usual hills in front of her.

It gave any man a sense of urgency to give everything she needed and wanted.

Who would have thought that a woman who had just entered the palace for less than four years, was in her early twenties, and had no children, could have such a figure.

No one could have imagined that after she entered the palace, within a week, she was named a noble concubine and was adored by the emperor.

“It's a pity to not to bear a child…”

After Xiao Yunzi muttered in her mind, she put down the teacup and said with a smile, “What brought you here today?”

The woman below let out a silver bell-like laughter that was very pleasing to the ear, and said, “I haven't been feeling well lately and haven't greeted you. I have started to feel better, so I came here today, so as not to lose my etiquette and make you, sister, unhappy.”

“Not at all. You and I don't need to be so concerned about this.”

After Xiao Yunzi spoke, she stood up, came to the woman's side, grabbed her hand, and giggled lightly, “Come on, you and I haven't spoken for a long time. You're going to stay with me for the day so don't leave early.”

They really looked like two loving sisters.

“Sister, you're so kind, I would certainly love to do so.”

The woman, Noble Concubine Hu, came to a soft couch with Xiao Yunxi and sat down together.

“Sister is really adored by His Majesty. These days, His Majesty has spent the night in Yonghe Palace,” Xiao Yunxi said with a smile.

Noble Concubine Hu's face showed some sadness, and said, “It's a pity, because I've been feeling not well, so I couldn't serve His Majesty. Over the past few years, I haven't been able to give birth to a child.”

“That's better than me. Your Majesty hasn't spent the night in Weiyang Palace for over three years.” Xiao Yunxi sighed.

“Sister, you're indeed humorous. You are the empress, Chong'er is the crown prince, and Fujin is also a direct disciple of the Imperial Teacher. I'm very envious.” Noble Concubine Hu smiled.

Immediately, she changed the topic, “Let's not talk about this. I heard that Concubine Liu of Qian'an Palace was pregnant. It's been more than a month. Have you heard about this?”

“I heard a little, but wasn't she banished to the Cold Palace by His Majesty? What's wrong?” Xiao Yunxi didn't know why Noble Concubine Hu mentioned this.

“Being pregnant, but being sent to the Cold Palace, don't you think it's strange, sister?” As she spoke, Noble Concubine Hu suddenly leaned into Xiao Yunxi's ear and whispered, “I heard that Concubine Liu was killed by remnants of the South Zhou Dynasty yesterday. The intent was to kill the child of His Majesty and avenge the South Zhou Dynasty.”

“I have also heard about it, but do you also believe in this flawed excuse?” Xiao Yunxi raised her eyebrows.

“It's not that I don't believe it, but that more and more Southern Zhou remnants have been found in the palace recently. I heard that they are all after the Southern Zhou Treasure.” Noble Concubine Hu said, “Have you heard of the Southern Zhou Treasure?”

“I heard a little about it, I heard that the things in the treasure can not only restore the Southern Zhou Dynasty, but can also rule the world…”

Xiao Yunxi then laughed out loud as she spoke, “It's really ridiculous. If there was such a thing, Southern Zhou would not have been conquered by the previous dynasty.” “In my opinion, the Southern Zhou Treasure is nothing but the obsession made up by the remnants of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, to give them the motivation to live.”

“No, I heard that if you gathered four Chiyang Bells, you could get the location of the Southern Zhou Treasure, and there is a Chiyang Bell in the imperial palace.” Noble Concubine Hu said.

“Chiyang Bell?” Xiao Yunxi narrowed her eyes slightly: “What is that? Where did you hear this from?”

“I heard this from others. It was a long time ago, so I forgot who said it.” Noble Concubine Hu smiled, and then changed the subject.

“I heard that it was Fujin's birthday two days ago, and sister you didn't tell me. If I knew, even if I was sick, I would have come to celebrate with Fujin…”

“It's only a child's birthday…”

The two chatted more and more and time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, the sky turned dark.

Noble Concubine Hu smiled, “Sister, it's getting late, so please excuse me.”

“Sister, don't be in a hurry. Why don't you leave after dinner, just in time for you to try something new with me.”

Xiao Yunxi called Wang Ying in.

“Your Majesty, what's your order?” Wang Ying bowed and said respectfully.

“Go and see how Little Chen has recovered. If he can get out of bed, tell him to cook the delicious food from his hometown for me to have a taste,” Xiao Yunxi said slowly.

“Roger that.”

Right now.

Chen Mo used up all five Strengthening Dans given by Zhao Fujin.

He felt that his inner core was in a state of saturation.

It felt like in another day or so of cultivation, he would be able to break through to the eighth-realm. However, at this moment he didn't cultivate any more.

He planned to use the simulation, find a decent talent, and replace the King of Zombies.

At this time, there was heavy knocking on the door.

If Chen Mo had not locked the door and added three safety insurances, it would have been pushed open directly.

Wang Ying's shrill voice came from outside the room. “Little Chen, get up right now. The empress wants to eat the hometown food you mentioned earlier. The Noble Concubine is also there so you have to gain face for the empress.”

Although Xiao Yunxi said that if Chen Mo could get out of bed, cook for them. However, Wang Ying, as the proud servant of the empress, would make it happen regardless.

Even if Chen Mo couldn't get out of bed, he would have to cook the food.

“Chief Wang, but…”

Chen Mo originally wanted to excuse himself with injury.

But he was interrupted by Wang Ying, “But what? Do you even want to go against the empress' decree?”

When Chen Mo was hit with this reason, he had no way to say no, so he hurriedly said, “I'm coming right now.”

At this moment, Chen Mo's injury was almost healed and scabs had formed. So it did not impede his movement at all.

Wang Ying saw that Chen Mo was moving so fast, so he gave up the idea of helping him go to the kitchen to cook, and urged, “Be quick.”

“Roger that.”

What Chen Mo planned to cook for Xiao Yunxi was braised pork.

In this world, there was no braised pork yet.

And braised pork was also relatively simple to make. Before Chen Mo transmigrated, this dish was his specialty.

He even managed to get a girl when he was holding a party in college with the braised pork dish.

So, he was quite confident with this dish.
