Chapter 36 Meals

Ling Xi slowly walked into the Flying Feather Palace, since the wedding, Xiang Hongxuan has never seen her again, the last time she was called to this Flying Feather Hall for dinner, Xiang Hongxuan was still to beat her, after starving her for most of the day, Xiang Hongxuan didn't even show her figure, gave her a few books and sent her away, and she went back to the door locked for a few years. It can be seen that Xiang Hongxuan invited her to dinner, but there is no good thing. I don't know what Xiang Hongxuan wants to do when she comes to her this time, no matter what the situation is, anyway, this time she came when she was full.

As soon as Ling Xi walked into the inner hall, she saw that Xiang Hongxuan was already sitting at the table, Ling Xi looked around again, there was no one else today, it seemed that she was thinking too much this time, at least Xiang Hongxuan didn't plan to starve her, but Ling Xi's heart was even more puzzled, that is, I didn't know what Xiang Hongxuan's intention was for this meal.

"The queen is here, sit down." Xiang Hongxuan said casually.

He deliberately took a look at Ling Xi's dress, Ling Xi only had a small phoenix hairpin on her head, and she didn't even have rouge on her face, it was not as good as her dress in the backyard of Jiaofang Hall in the morning, this woman who came to see her with no face to the sky, and the entire harem was afraid that she would never find a second woman like this.

Ling Xi, who had just sat next to Xiang Hongxuan, took out the silk handkerchief in her hand from time to time to hide her face and coughed lightly, it was the first time she was so close to Xiang Hongxuan. To be honest, on the day of the wedding, she didn't see Xiang Hongxuan's appearance clearly, but today she took a closer look, Xiang Hongxuan's jade crown was tied up, and he was dressed in a dark dragon robe, which was elegant and a little majestic.

To put it simply, it is the perfect combination of the handsome little white face and the second generation of local tycoons and riches, Ling Xi can't help but think about it, maybe the harem women are so desperate to compete for favor, in addition to wanting to rely on the imperial power to compete for fame and fortune, there is also the appearance of really greedy for Xiang Hongxuan. Thinking of this, Ling Xi couldn't help but feel funny, it is the duty of the concubine to serve the princess in Israel, so what about Xiang Hongxuan? Being coveted by so many harem women, he didn't do well as an emperor, Ling Xi hurriedly picked up a silk handkerchief to cover his face, and pretended to cough to cover her smile that couldn't be hidden.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is not in good health and is rude." Ling Xi explained in a somewhat sickly voice.

"It's okay, the queen's illness is good and bad, I don't mind." Saying that, Xiang Hongxuan also put a dish on Ling Xi's plate, he seemed to be a little aware of Ling Xi's strangeness, suddenly he leaned over, and immediately got close to Ling Xi's side, and he said softly: "The queen's dress tonight is not as good as the one in the backyard in the morning, and the queen looks good when she smiles." ”

Soon, Xiang Hongxuan immediately straightened his body again, and his face was expressionless, as if the scene just now had never happened.

Ling Xi was taken aback, when did Xiang Hongxuan go to the Jiaofang Palace, and he also went to the backyard of the Jiaofang Palace in the morning, that is to say, they were in the backyard in the morning, as long as Xiang Hongxuan was not blind, she should be able to see that she was in good health. So Xiang Hongxuan should know about her pretending to be sick all these years, Ling Xi immediately got up and knelt down in front of Xiang Hongxuan.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty." Ling Xi slammed his head on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

Ling Xi didn't defend herself, because she was sick just now and couldn't explain her angry uproar in the morning, if she pretended to be sick in the past few years was a bully, then after being exposed by Xiang Hongxuan, she still quibbled, that is, she was insulting Xiang Hongxuan's IQ, which was more angry than deception.

But Ling Xi didn't wait for Xiang Hongxuan's anger, and he didn't even wait for Xiang Hongxuan's question, Xiang Hongxuan sat there without saying a word, and after a long time, Ling Xi only heard Xiang Hongxuan constantly picking up the wine glass and drinking there, as well as the intermittent sound of picking up vegetables.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty." Ling Xi said loudly again.

Xiang Hongxuan didn't seem to hear her speak, and was still concentrating on eating and drinking, as if there was no Ling Xi in front of him. Ling Xi understood that this time Xiang Hongxuan still planned to starve her, and let her starve on her knees. Ling Xi didn't understand, last time Xiang Hongxuan was worried that she was too close to the Queen Mother, so he deliberately knocked her, so what about this time? Isn't her illness exactly what Xiang Hongxuan hoped for? Now that he has fulfilled his wishes, what else does he want?

"Queen, is the osmanthus stuffed good?" Xiang Hongxuan said quietly.

"It's delicious, and the palace people in the Jiaofang Palace like it." Ling Xi raised his head and looked at Xiang Hongxuan with big eyes. Now that Xiang Hongxuan knows something, she doesn't have to pretend, because pretending is useless.

Xiang Hongxuan put down the chopsticks in his hand, he stared at Ling Xi, just now this woman was still pretending to be timid and cowardly, and now she dared to look directly at herself, and Xiang Hongxuan seemed to see the anger in Ling Xi's eyes, this may be Ling Xi's true face.

"Does the queen like to drink?"

"Your Majesty's reward, the concubines all like it."

"What about the Queen's illness?"

"As Your Majesty can see, sometimes good and sometimes bad."

"The queen is so sick, is she okay?"

"Your Majesty hopes that if the concubine is good, the concubine will be fine, but if Your Majesty doesn't want it, the concubine will not be fine."

"Then does the queen think that the illness should be cured?"

"Does Your Majesty think the concubine can be well?"

Xiang Hongxuan said a sentence to Ling Xi, and every sentence was not leaking, which made Xiang Hongxuan a little surprised. This Ling Xi was too different from what he thought, the first time he saw her was a big wedding, she was dull and cowardly, and she didn't understand the amorous feelings, although it was not as ugly as rumored, but it also made Xiang Hongxuan not interested at all. Seeing her again in the backyard of Jiaofang Hall after many years, her playful energy and hearty smile surprised Xiang Hongxuan, making him think that Ling Xi, the queen's intelligence, might be useful.

But in that conversation just now, Xiang Hongxuan couldn't help but become interested in Ling Xi. Obviously, Ling Xi didn't mind telling Hongxuan about her pretending to be sick, in fact, Ling Xi's illness was also hoped to Hongxuan, but Xiang Hongxuan hoped that she was really sick. She dared to contradict herself like this, but she also saw that Xiang Hongxuan would not abolish her, she was not at fault, Xiang Hongxuan could not find a reason to abolish her, not to mention that if Xiang Hongxuan abolished her, once the back position was suspended, the queen mother would not easily let go of such an opportunity and give up the back seat to others. She grasped Xiang Hongxuan's shortcomings, so she dared to be so rude. Such a courageous woman, Xiang Hongxuan saw it for the first time, at least it was different from the women in the harem.

"I hope the Queen's illness will be cured."

"If this is what Your Majesty wants, the concubine will be fine."

Xiang Hongxuan walked to Ling Xi's side and helped her up, he gently stroked Ling Xi's slightly red forehead, looking distressed, and said softly: "The queen should be careful, I will feel distressed if I break this smart little head." ”

Ling Xi didn't expect Xiang Hongxuan to talk to herself like this, let alone Xiang Hongxuan to herself so affectionately, if it weren't for the same Feiyu Hall a few years ago, she had seen Xiang Hongxuan's intimidation methods, she might be grateful to Dade, today Xiang Hongxuan is just a different means, and she switched to sugar-coated cannonballs, she twisted slightly, staggered Xiang Hongxuan's palm on her forehead, and blessed Xiang Hongxuan.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing Ling Xi's actions just now, the corners of Xiang Hongxuan's mouth unconsciously raised slightly, he turned around and walked to the table and sat down, and said lightly: "In the future, the queen will have to walk around the harem more, so that the queen's illness can be cured, and by the way, the queen should also worry more about harem affairs, which should have been the queen's duty." ”

Ling Xi was stunned, I see, Xiang Hongxuan is not a Hongmen banquet this time, he has to ask for himself, so she, the queen of decorations, can't just be decorations, Xiang Hongxuan needs her, or needs her identity as a queen.

"The concubines must listen to His Majesty's teachings, and they will have more snacks on the harem, but I don't know where His Majesty wants the concubines to spend their thoughts, so as to be more in line with Your Majesty's holy will."

"There is nothing else special, the harem should be managed by the queen, and it is best for the queen to arrange things like the palace concubines."

"What does Your Majesty want your concubines to arrange? Rain and dew are wet, or ......................................."

"What does the queen think?"

"The concubine is stupid, and she hasn't been out of the Jiaofang Hall for many years, so she doesn't know what the holy will is?"

Ling Xi looked at Xiang Hongxuan with a smile, her husband is unfathomable, she is still stupid, it is better to live longer.

"Mrs. Hua is from Xihua Kingdom, and she doesn't know much about the affairs of Dongyu Kingdom, the queen is in the harem, she should take more care of Mrs. Hua, and Mrs. Wang, who is my cousin, has a friendship with me who grew up together, so naturally she can't be too estranged."

Ling Xi couldn't help but feel funny, Xiang Hong announced that these two beauties were unwilling to live up, of course, the main thing was that they didn't want to live up to Feng Yingying, since it was a deep-rooted love, how could they be so in a dilemma. Presumably, I don't know how much calculation there is under this affection. Suddenly, Ling Xi felt that the man in front of him might not have true love in his life.

"The concubine understands, and she will definitely arrange it for Your Majesty."

Xiang Hongxuan drank the wine on the table with satisfaction, and said softly: "If the queen asks for anything today, I will definitely grant it." ”

Ling Xi got up again and knelt down in front of Xiang Hongxuan, and said respectfully: "It is a blessing for the concubine to be able to share the worries of His Majesty, and I dare not ask for Your Majesty's reward." ”

"The queen really doesn't want to ask for something for herself?"

"Your Majesty, let's enjoy some osmanthus stuffed again, the palace people in Jiaofang Hall really like it." Ling Xi said with a smile.

Xiang Hongxuan looked at Ling Xi's smart eyes, maybe Ling Xi was not as smart as he thought.

"That's right."

"Thank you for your grace, and the concubine will leave." After speaking, Ling Xi walked out of the Flying Feather Hall with a relaxed step.

Xiang Hongxuan looked at Ling Xi, who had come out of the Flying Feather Hall with a gust of wind, and began to play with the wine glass in his hand. At this time, even if Ling Xi didn't immediately pounce on himself, he should ask for a gift for the family. Could it be that she was angry at Xiang Hongxuan's snub in those years? But Xiang Hongxuan thought of her joyful energy in the backyard in the morning, and there was no resentful woman at all.

Xiang Hongxuan is becoming more and more interested in Ling Xi, Ling Xi is a little different from the women in the harem, he is a little curious, what is she entering the palace for? Vaguely, Xiang Hongxuan felt that Ling Xi didn't seem to care about him, thinking of this, Xiang Hongxuan's heart suddenly sprouted a trace of inexplicable loss.
