Chapter 40: Entering the Palace for a Banquet (2)
Chu Yueqing didn't know all the toys in the house, but he saw that there were various wooden objects placed in an orderly manner on the floor below. Chu Yueqing stared at these things and walked around the room, and there was a woodcarved pony in the corner on the right side of the room?
Chu Yueqing pointed to the Trojan horse in the corner, "This is... Horses? β
"Yes, Qingqing. Do you recognize it as a horse?! Great, the royal brothers and they all said that it didn't look like a horse, but Aunt Qinyu obviously said that it was a small wooden horse. Xuanyuan Hao said and walked towards the Trojan Horse.
Qinyu? Her mother's name!
Chu Yueqing carefully observed the size of the Trojan horse, which is suitable for children about three or four years old. It's been many years, and her mother is no longer alive.
Does this Trojan horse prove that she is not the only traverser, or is it inherent in this world?
Chu Yueqing walked around the room, expecting to find something else more convincing. However, her IQ is down the line again, and there are some things she has seen in modern life, but none of them are particularly iconic modern items.
Xuanyuan Hao saw that Chu Yueqing seemed to be very interested in these things, and walked up to her excitedly, "Qingqing, do you want to go to the second floor to have a look?" β
Second floor? Chu Yueqing nodded, "Okay." β
Then he looked around again, "Where are you going?" β
"Outside." Xuanyuan Hao pulled Chu Yueqing and walked outside the house.
Outside? Could it be that the stairs are at the back of the attic? When she came over, she clearly didn't see a staircase to go up to.
"Is it behind the attic?" Chu Yueqing followed Xuanyuan Hao and looked up at the balcony on the second floor, not knowing what he was looking at, probably from where he should be able to see a good view.
Xuanyuan Hao smiled arrogantly at her and tiptoed a little, and the next moment Chu Yueqing was already standing on the balcony on the second floor with him.
Chu Yueqing hugged Xuanyuan Hao tightly, and suddenly left the ground just now, so frightened that her heart was still beating suddenly. So Chu Yueqing ignored Xuanyuan Hao's expression of praise, and asked in surprise: "You can fly?" β
Xuanyuan Hao: "Fly? Is it like that? I will. β
Chu Yueqing had already let go Xuanyuan Hao turned to look at the ground, the distance between here and the ground was three to four meters high. If it's a light effort, it should be possible.
Standing on the balcony and looking around, the scenery is indeed different from when you see it on the ground, "This way, it seems to be looking farther." β
Xuanyuan Hao ignored her words, but took her into the house by himself, leaving Xiao Xiangzi and the others waiting below.
The second floor was different from what Chu Yueqing thought, she thought that the second floor would also be equipped with all kinds of toys, and she was also looking forward to finding something more modern.
Obviously, this hope was dashed, and the second floor was more like a place to live.
There is a bed inside and it is simply furnished. There's also a desk inside, but it's supposed to be just for writing something, because there aren't a few books in the room.
The strangest thing is that the room is full of all kinds of weapons, especially swords.
"All yours?" Chu Yueqing was very puzzled, no matter how this is also a palace, how can it be possible to store so many weapons in an attic?
"Yes," Xuanyuan Hao picked up a wooden sword, "This was given to me by my mother when I was two years old." β
He pointed to a cyan long sword next to him, "This is when I was three years old, my father gave it to me, this is my uncle gave it to me, this is my cousin gave it to me, this..." There were quite a few swords, and he himself couldn't remember who gave them.
It is really strange that it seems that the existence of these swords is also acquiesced by the current emperor.
Chu Yueqing's gaze fell on a dark red long sword, which was a little mottled and put together with the other shining swords in the room, creating a strong contrast, "What about this?" β
"This?" Xuanyuan Hao looked at the sword that Chu Yueqing pointed at and shook his head: "I can't remember this one, but it looks so ugly~"
"......" Chu Yueqing glanced at him, and actually said that this sword is ugly!?
"Where it's ugly, it's just rust. Since you don't like it, why don't you give it to me? "Uh... Why did she speak for a sword?
Xuanyuan Hao was a little unhappy, and said with a wrinkled eyebrow, "Qingqing, are you sure you want this?" This one is so ugly, do you want to change it to a more beautiful one? β
"It's said it's rusty, not ugly. You wouldn't be unwilling, would you? Chu Yueqing herself didn't know why she wanted this sword so much, she obviously didn't know martial arts, and she hadn't learned swordsmanship. But I have an inexplicable attachment to this sword in my heart.
Xuanyuan Hao hurriedly said: "No, I am willing." The mother concubine said, what is mine will be my lady in the future, Qingqing you are my lady, of course these are yours. β
"The concubine is right!" What to do! She suddenly admired her mother! Chu Yueqing couldn't help it, and finally laughed.
Xuanyuan Hao smiled when he saw Chu Yueqing, so he didn't mind the ugly sword, took it from Chu Yueqing's hand and put it in the box, "Let Xiao Xiangzi take it back to the house." β

After the two came down from the attic, Xiao Xiangzi and Moori anxiously walked around the two, and Moori even silently checked her pulse.
"We're fine, Xiao Xiangzi, you put this away and take it back to the palace after the dinner." Chu Yueqing handed the box containing the sword to Xiao Xiangzi, "At this hour, is it time for lunch?" β
"Well, if you want to come to eat, it should have been sent to the main hall, let's go over." Xuanyuan Hao, like Chu Yueqing, has an incomparable passion for what he eats.
In the main hall of Changchen Palace, the father-in-law who passed the meal was already waiting. Seeing the two of them coming in, they bent down and saluted in unison, "See Lord Hao and Princess Hao." β
Xuanyuan Hao: "Well, put things down, you can retreat." β
"Yes".
Some people are born powerful, and Xuanyuan Hao is. Xuanyuan Hao's royal nobility is deeply imprinted on him, from the inside out. Even now, no one can ignore the majesty that he carries with him.
The group retreated in an orderly manner, and Xiao Xiangzi picked up the food and put the food on the small plate like chopsticks, and then tried the dish with another pair of chopsticks.
"Princess, every year the meals prepared during the family banquet, the emperor will let the father-in-law send them to the palaces, and there will be special people in each palace to try the dishes, just in case." Mo Ori explained in a low voice beside her, thought for a while, and continued: "The prince probably doesn't know. β
Chu Yueqing nodded slightly, in fact, these foods should be safe.
Poisoning even when you know that you will fail, no one should be stupid enough to do this. (To be continued)
