Chapter 26: The Emperor, Please Eat
"The eldest brother knew that you misunderstood him, but he didn't let us tell you, he was afraid that he would be sad if you knew that Murong Fei lied to you, so he simply carried the black pot himself."
"What? It turned out that Murong Fei really lied to me. But he looked so sincere. Aoqing couldn't believe it.
"This is Murong Fei's cunning, the eldest brother has not let you get close to him because he is afraid that you will be hurt." Tang Jianyu told everything to Aoqing, feeling relieved.
Ao Qing felt that she had misunderstood Xiao Lingfeng for so long, and she felt a little guilty in her heart, and Xiao Lingfeng also felt that she had just been a little too much for Ao Qing.
Xiao Lingfeng wanted to apologize to Aoqing, but he was embarrassed. Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Xiao Lingfeng thought about it and walked into the kitchen.
In a few moments, a fragrant meal was ready. Among them is Aoqing's favorite braised carp.
"Princess, Tang Gongzi, let's eat. It was the master who cooked it himself. ”
Xiao Lingfeng, Ao Qing, and Tang Jianyu sat at the dinner table and looked at each other speechlessly, because Xiao Lingfeng and Ao Qing were awkward, the atmosphere was very awkward.
"It's a blessing to be able to eat the dishes made by my eldest brother, my cooking skills are so good, princess, you can taste it, it's really delicious." In order to alleviate this situation, Tang Jianyu tried to speak.
"Uh~ You're hungry after tossing all morning, let's eat some." Xiao Lingfeng said to Aoqing, still a little embarrassed.
"Yes." Aoqing just responded.
After eating, Aoqing said to Xiao Lingfeng, "You are all almost recovered, I'll go back first." ”
"Yes, good. I'll send you. Xiao Lingfeng said immediately.
"No, I can do it myself." Aoqing finished speaking and left.
At this time, Tang Jianyu walked to Xiao Lingfeng's side.
"Big brother, she won't be really angry, will she? You'd better find a way to coax, right? Tang Jianyu persuaded him.
"Coax what! Women are trouble. You can eat dinner at home, and I'll go to Yingxue. Xiao Lingfeng was also a little upset by Aoqing, it turned out that Aoqing's joys, sorrows and sorrows had such a great impact on him.
He was going to Yingxue's place to relax, because he never had to think about it so much in the Fengyue Place.
On a quiet night, Xiao Lingfeng was enjoying himself in the Cuiqing Pavilion, but Aoqing couldn't sleep for a long time.
She got up and walked to the window, put her arms on the windowsill, and supported her chin with her hands, thinking about it.
"Alas! What should I do to get him to accept me? Xiao Lingfeng, if you like me, you can die! Aoqing thought to herself.
"Oops, what should I do?" Aoqing muttered to herself.
"What should I do?" Aoqing was too focused to think about it, and she didn't notice that the queen had already walked in.
"Ah, the Emperor's mother." Aoqing was a little surprised to see the queen.
"What's wrong? What is it that keeps my Aoqing from sleeping? Do you miss your sweetheart? The queen tried to ask her.
"Oops, Huang Eniang~" Aoqing was embarrassed.
"It turns out that it really is, this is a good thing, you have also reached the age when you should get married, Aoqing, which family's son told you that Huang Ama and me, we will call the shots for you." The queen was very happy to hear that this little naughty bag finally had a sweetheart.
"What's the use of being in charge? People don't like me. It's not my wishful thinking. ”
"We are princesses, who dares not to like us, let your emperor Ama arrest him."
"Oh, Xiao Lingfeng is not that kind of weak person, what's the use of arresting it?"
"What? Xiao Lingfeng. The queen asked hurriedly.
It turned out that Aoqing had just slipped out of her mouth in excitement.
"Aoqing, how can you like him? I've heard that he's very attentive and he has a lot of women around him. He won't love you wholeheartedly with a person like that. "The queen was a little anxious.
"Huang Eniang, you don't know that he is not like this. He is kind-hearted and generous, and has helped many people. The reason why he is so attentive is because he wants to hide the pain in his heart......"
Aoqing told the queen what happened.
"But, Aoqing, since he loves that named Ruxuan so much, are you sure to make him change his mind?"
"I know, I don't expect him to love me like Ruxuan, as long as there is a little place in his heart, I will be satisfied, I won't mind." Aoqing said with some sadness.
The queen was very distressed when she saw Aoqing's appearance, and took Aoqing into her arms. "Poor boy."
"Aoqing, you told Huang Eniang, do you really identify him? Good people have. ”
"Huang Eniang, don't persuade me, I have made up my mind, and he will not marry in this life. Even if he never marries me, I will silently guard him. Aoqing said firmly.
Seeing that Aoqing was so resolute, the queen didn't say anything more, because she knew Aoqing, and what she decided would not be changed easily.
"Your Majesty, that's how it is~" The queen quickly told the emperor all the circumstances of Ao Qing and Xiao Lingfeng.
"Aoqing, this stupid child, is really distressing. Queen, what should we do? ”
"Your Majesty, I think it's better for us to invite him into the palace for a meal, first, to understand him, let's pour him more wine, and second, to test his attitude."
"Yes, that's fine. I have long wanted to meet this legendary figure, what kind of ability does he have, he mixes so well among the people, and he is still fascinated by Aoqing. ”
Although he hadn't seen Ao Qing for a day or two, Xiao Lingfeng still pretended to be very calm, after all, he couldn't enter the palace, and if Ao Qing couldn't get angry, he couldn't do anything.
"Master, there is a person from the palace at the door who asks to see you." Leling said.
"The people in the palace, could it be that Aoqing sent them? Let him in. ”
"Uncle Xiao, in the name of the emperor, the slave specially invited Uncle Xiao to the palace for dinner tonight." The man who came said.
"What did the emperor ask me to do? I don't know him. ”
"The little ones don't know, I still hope that Uncle Xiao will appreciate his face, and the small ones are good friends."
"Okay, you go back to the emperor. Enter the palace on time at night. ”
"Yes, Uncle Xie Xiao, the little one has retired."
"Master, it's embarrassing that the princess wants to see you, so in the name of the emperor, right?" Leling said.
"Probably not, Aoqing has always been assertive, she won't rely on the emperor to help her solve things, I'll go and see." It was Xiao Lingfeng who knew Aoqing, and the emperor invited Xiao Lingfeng to dinner, but Aoqing didn't know anything about it.
Night was approaching, Xiao Lingfeng entered the palace under the leadership of his entourage and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty, Uncle Xiao is here."
"Well, please let him in." The emperor had already prepared a banquet and was waiting for Xiao Lingfeng's arrival.
"Your Majesty." Xiao Lingfeng clasped his hands into fists and saluted the emperor.
"Well, excuse me, come and sit." The emperor hurriedly greeted Xiao Lingfeng.
"Your Majesty, I am neither an official in the court, nor have I ever met the emperor, I don't know why the emperor invited me to dine together."
Xiao Lingfeng was a little curious about the emperor's actions, but he was not as flattered as ordinary people, he was chic and free all his life, unrestrained. He never cared about glory and wealth, and he was not interested in the court, and the emperor was just a stranger to him.
"Uh~ I heard that you have a high reputation among the people and often help the common people, this is a favor for me, and I also want to meet you, a legendary figure. How? Don't want to dine with me? ”
"No, no, since the emperor is so loving, I will give the emperor a cup first." After speaking, Xiao Lingfeng dried up a glass of wine.
"Well, okay, Xiao Daxia is really refreshing, come, do it." The emperor also drank wine with him.
After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Lingfeng's head was already a little dizzy. The emperor is still persuading him to drink, Xiao Lingfeng has always been refreshing, and the emperor is so enthusiastic, so he drank a few more glasses. Already a little drunk.
"Come, come, don't get drunk today." The emperor continued to let him drink.
"No~ no~ can't~ no more~ drink ~" Xiao Lingfeng couldn't speak clearly, lying on the table.
"Your Majesty, it's almost." At this moment the queen came out from behind the curtain.
