Chapter 174: Sungai Boat
When they arrived at the kitchen, they found that Zhiyao had let a person sit aggrievedly on the steps of the door, with a flat mouth, like an abandoned child. It wasn't until he saw Yifang walking towards him that he had a slight smile on his face.
"Su Ji Niangniang, where have you and your father gone? Zhiyao won't be able to find you in a while. Zhiyao's voice was full of crying, which made Yifang suddenly feel a sense of guilt all over his body.
She subconsciously glanced at Liu Heng, and then explained softly: "Just now, your father and I got wet, and we went back and changed our clothes in a hurry, so don't you come back quickly?" ”
Zhiyao rubbed his stomach: "I'm almost hungry, Su Ji Niangniang hurry up and make pork rib soup!" ”
This time, Liu Heng didn't make trouble again, but just quietly watched Youfeng cook on the side. He found that from this point of view, there was an illusion that they were an ordinary folk couple. This kind of relationship is like a couple playing with their children, and he can't help but think that if he hadn't been in the royal family, he might have been able to have such a simple and happy life.
"Your Majesty, Master Fu asks to see you." But every assumption was no match for reality, and Wu Ping's hurried voice pulled Liu Heng's thoughts back.
"Got it." Liu Heng responded, looking at Yifang's busy back, and didn't want to disturb her, so he only informed Teng Ling and left with Wu Ping.
The hot pork rib soup came out of the oven, and one of the people who was shouting for the soup disappeared, although there was Tengling's explanation, Yifang still felt a little lost in his heart. Zhiyao drank two large bowls of this pot of pork rib soup, constantly boasting about the craftsmanship of Yifang, and also asked her to send some to Liu Heng.
Yifang originally didn't think so, but this idea also came to his heart, and after struggling for a long time, he finally decided to bring some pork rib soup to the kitchen. Zhiyao's face was full of smiles, although he was young, he was smart, and when he saw Yifang's attitude towards Liu Heng, he knew that she was awkward with Liu Heng. Even if Liu Heng didn't tell him, he would make some arrangements on the side.
When he came to the study with the food box, Liu Heng had already finished talking with Fu Nianhua. Yifang asked Wu Ping to go in to report, but Zhiyao sneaked in first. Anyway, there was no one else in the study at this time, and Zhiyao was Liu Heng's favorite son, so Wu Ping also left him.
As soon as Zhiyao entered the door, he walked lightly to Liu Heng, who closed his eyes and recuperated, and whispered in his ear.
"Father, wake up."
Liu Heng slowly opened his eyes and saw Zhiyao with a sly smile on his face. He took the person to his lap and sat down: "Why are you here?" Didn't you eat greedily at Su Ji Niang? ”
Zhiyao touched his stomach exaggeratedly: "Father, the sons and ministers have already eaten well." Father, guess what your son brought you? ”
"Could it be that you brought the pork rib soup made by Su Ji Niangniang?" Liu Heng's eyes glanced to him, but he didn't see anything like a food box.
Zhiyao nodded first, and then immediately shook his head: "Yes and no, father, look at it!" ”
Zhiyao jumped off Liu Heng's lap, hurried to the door again, and pulled Yifang in quickly: "Father, look, the son has brought Su Ji Niangniang over." ”
Liu Heng didn't expect her to take the initiative to come over, so he suddenly stood up and came straight to the front of Yifang.
"Yes Zhiyao said that there was too much pork rib soup, so he had to send some to the king. The concubine was worried that he would not be safe alone, so she came with her. Yifang also said a word, but it seemed that he wanted to cover it.
"Really? If that's the case, wouldn't it be nice to let the palace maid accompany him? Liu Heng deliberately debunked her words.
"Didn't the king dislike the palace maids in the concubine palace for being clumsy? The concubines were afraid that they would be punished by the king for sending them over. Yifang continued to cover up, but his ears were a little red.
Liu Heng didn't tease her anymore, picked up Zhiyao and sat down, and the three of them tasted the pork rib soup that had just been drunk together.
After this day's events, Liu Heng naturally tasted the sweetness, and also felt that Zhiyao was a smart and clever child. Originally, the queen was a little dissatisfied with Liu Heng's exemption from his homework every once in a while, and even admonished him repeatedly, but then Liu Heng taught him personally, and the queen couldn't say anything anymore.
After a few days, Yifang's attitude towards Liu Heng eased a lot, which was naturally due to Zhiyao.
On this day, as soon as Liu Heng finished dealing with the affairs in the court, Zhiyao's crisp voice came in from outside the door. Liu Heng had already instructed Wu Ping that in the future, whether it was Zhiyao or Yifang, there was no need to pass it on, and let them come in directly.
"Father, Zhiyao has completed all his homework today, Father hurry up and test me, if you pass the test, let's go to Guangyang Hall to find Su Ji Niangniang to fly a kite!"
Liu Heng was also anxious to see Yifang, so he pulled Zhiyao to test him while walking, this kid in order to make time to play, he remembered those homework quickly and well, and he could also give birth to his own opinions. Liu Heng originally put all his thoughts on Zhiyao, feeling that he was already a role model among princes, but now that he gets along with Zhiyao more, he finds that his qualifications are even a few points higher than Zhiyu.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the Guangyang Palace, and Liu Heng unexpectedly found that the queen was also here, which was a little surprising. The queen has never visited the concubine, only the concubine went to visit her, and the last time because of the Yifang saving Zhiyao, it was an exception, and now it is here again.
Liu Heng was a little curious about what they were talking about, so he led Zhiyao to hide at the door and eavesdrop. Wu Ping wanted to remind him that listening to the corner should not be the king's style, but thinking that no one else could see it here, he still gave up.
"Su Meiren, it's true that you once saved Zhiyao, but he is my son after all, what are your intentions in domineering him all day long?" The queen used to speak softly, and rarely spoke so fiercely.
"Queen Niangniang, Zhiyao is just having fun with the concubine, and the concubine has no other ideas."
"Really? In the past, under the supervision of his grandmothers, Zhiyao got up early and went to bed late every day to study his homework, and he worked very hard. Since I got mixed with you, my homework has fallen behind, and even my temperament has become a lot naughty. The queen's voice was even more resentful, "Do you want to win over Zhiyao when you see that it is injured and that it will be difficult to achieve great things in the future, so that he will only recognize you and not me, the queen mother?" ”
"The queen mother is a clear guide, and the concubine has no such intention. Besides, the king also said that Zhiyao's homework has improved a lot recently, and he has not slacked off! ”
"I didn't know before, I thought you were really good to Zhiyao, but I didn't expect to be so scheming. If you can't give birth to a son yourself, you will dominate my son, you really have a femme fatale! ”
Liu Heng was listening outside, and the anger suddenly rose up, he didn't know that the queen who had always been gentle still had such a side. He was about to walk in generously, but Zhiyao took the first step and ran over to stop in front of Yifang.
"Queen Mother, it's all the sons' fault, it's the sons' fault, don't scold Su Ji Niangniang."
"You kid, you don't know right from wrong! Who is your mother? When the queen saw Zhiyao protecting the Yifang like this, she was even more angry. She didn't expect Guangyang Hall to come to find trouble today, but she just listened to Wen Jiayi say a lot of things in front of her, which made her unable to hold her breath. Although the queen was known for her gentleness in the palace, she still had a good temper when she was still in the boudoir. Now that I've been going back and forth, I can't hold back anymore.
"This king looks, the one who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong is you!" Liu Heng also walked in from the outside, and the queen was shocked, she no longer had her previous momentum, and knelt down with a plop.
"Your Majesty, why is Your Majesty here?"
"Zhiyao was forced to study by you before, and the whole person was sick and lacked any vitality. Only when he is with Yifang can he smile. Moreover, the king has examined his work every day, and not a single day has fallen as you have said. This king thinks that you can't teach your children well, so he is jealous that your children are close to others. ”
"There is no concubine, the king, the concubine is also for the sake of Zhiyao's future!" The queen's tears were about to fall out, and the maidservants around her were also helping.
"Okay, go back to your own palace and stay, don't come out and be embarrassed again."
The queen turned around with aggrieved eyes, and when she walked to the door, she turned back and glared at Yifang viciously, she had already exposed her true nature in front of Yifang, so there was no need to be gentle with her anymore.
"Are you alright?" Liu Heng helped Yifang up.
Yifang shook his head, but his face was full of gloom. In fact, the queen was right, even she felt that she was too close to Zhiyao, but she really liked this child.
"Su Ji Niangniang, don't be sad, the queen mother is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and she will be fine after a while." Zhiyao shook Yifang's arm, "Su Ji Niangniang, Zhiyao and Father came to you to fly a kite on purpose. ”
"Kite flying?" Yifang subconsciously looked at the weather outside, which is the time to fly a kite at this time, "Now that the weather is cold, and there is no wind outside, the kite will definitely not be able to fly." ”
"Father, you lied to me, Su Ji said that the kite can't be flown up." Zhiyao pursed his mouth aggrievedly, he had thought of this problem before, but Liu Heng still brought him over. In fact, it doesn't matter what you come to do, Liu Heng just wants to find a reason to come to Guangyang Palace.
"Since you can't fly a kite, let's play something else, there's always something for this weather, right?" Liu Heng turned to Yifang, seeking her approval.
Looking at Zhiyao's expectant eyes, Yifang really didn't want to disappoint him, so he also nodded, but his mind was thinking about what he could play. After thinking about it, it finally reminded her of the game she used to play with her two younger brothers in Qinghe County.
She was doing laundry when she noticed that she had put soaphorn in the water, and there were bubbles coming out of the water. In this way, she and her brothers developed a number of bubbles, and each time they were able to make many of them, as if they were in a dreamlike realm, which was both beautiful and pleasant.
