Chapter 155: It's a pity
Nangong Miao explained.
"Why is it called 'donkey rolling'?"
"Because the last step of this thing is to roll the rolled rice cake in a circle in the oil tea noodles and stick the powder.
It's like a donkey rolling on the ground, covered in dirt. β
I haven't even seen a serious donkey in the early moon, and I can't imagine it.
Jing Qi commented beside him: "The donkey looks like a horse, smaller than a horse, and ugly. β
"The skinny horses on the Zhuangzi are not as good as the donkeys."
Nangong Miao argued very seriously.
Chu Yuewan suddenly realized, and took another bite of "donkey rolling": "It's delicious!" β
"I like to eat, I'll bring more to the Sky Tower for His Highness in the future."
Nangong Miao was very happy, "Come, eat a little more, there are many more." β
"By the way, I figured it out."
Chu Yuewan said to him, "It's okay to be fat." β
Nangong Miao heard that she hadn't forgotten that incident, her face turned red, and then she was relieved, lowered her head and scratched the back of her head.
On the evening of the first moon of the same day, he rolled with a roll of donkeys and returned to the palace.
The sedan chair was originally going to the skyscraper, and as it walked, it turned around.
When I asked about it in the evening, I realized that my itinerary had changed.
Guess, it must be that her father suddenly changed his mind and didn't want her to go to the Skyscraper again.
Sure enough, after the carriage and horse returned to the palace, they went straight to the Chenji Palace.
The old emperor was waiting in the hall with a stove, and suddenly saw a fluffy snow-white dumpling poking in at the door, only probed for a while, and then retracted.
"Wanwanβ" the old emperor called her.
The little ball of hair poked in again, and the early moon was in a daze, and the face of the fluffy white fox showed a pink face.
"Father-" Chu Yuewan ran in with a smile.
"Eh, father, hug."
The old emperor copied her and turned her around for half a circle, and put her on the couch beside him.
Chu Yuewan can already land on this bed now, and it is a pity that his legs can't shake.
"In two years, I won't be able to hold on."
The old emperor was full of emotion.
"Eat less that night."
The first moon coaxed him in the evening, "Slow down and grow flesh, and my father will still be able to hold it in two years!" β
"Hahaha, I'll see it."
The old emperor pinched her face, "It's not necessary to eat, but you still have to eat well."
Chu Yue smiled at him in the evening, and the old emperor was also happy, and the boredom of these days was cleared.
"Father, what does the emperor have to explain to Wanwan?" Chu Yuewan saw the change in his expression.
"Yes."
The old emperor leaned back as he spoke, and Liu Cunmao hurriedly and skillfully stuffed a pillow behind him.
Chu Yuewan gently pounded his legs.
"A lot has happened lately."
The old emperor said earnestly, "What about you later, when you grow up, you have some thoughts of your own, and I can understand it." β
Hey? Did my father find out that I was privately investigating the Jingjun Mansion recently? Chu Yuewan's hand thumping his legs moved a little faster because of nervousness.
The old emperor closed his eyes on the pillow and recuperated, patted his increasingly blessed belly, and then said: "It's just that I can't rest assured more and more." β
"What my father can't rest assured of is ......"
"Alas......" The old emperor sighed and opened his eyes: "Originally, the great master asked you to go to the skyscraper, but I was not very comfortable.
Although I don't see you much on weekdays, I still know where you are.
Lately, I've been worrying a lot about where you've been, who you've met, and when did I start, and I don't know if it's too late? Chu Yuewan immediately understood what he meant.
I have been running around for a while, and it is normal for my father to be worried.
But why does this worry sound a little wrong? "You don't joke, but my father is coaxing late."
Chu Yuewan was a little unhappy, so don't beat your father's legs.
"How?" The old emperor was puzzled.
"Father obviously knows where Wanwan is and who he knows."
In the evening of the early moon, he pinched his waist and was confident.
"What do I know?" The old emperor also lost his temper with her, "How do I know how many people you know from outside the skyscraper, why is the attraction of the capital so great, and the palace is not enough for you to visit!" β
"Father, listen to what he said, he obviously knows!"
"I don't know! I'm confused! I don't know anything! β
"Puff ......" was broken by his bearded and glaring virtue in the early moon, and his father was old, but his temper was like a child.
"Father~" The early moon night pulled the old emperor's gray beard.
"Hmph."
The old emperor was not convinced.
Chu Yue blinked her eyes in the evening: "Wanwan brought the donkey back and rolled back, don't you eat?" The old emperor turned his head and refused.
"Really, really don't eat it?" Chu Yuewan suddenly took out a paper bag from his arms in a trick, "Sweet and glutinous, as well as bean paste filling and crushed peanuts." β
The old emperor snorted.
"Doesn't my father eat it?" Chu Yuewan sighed, "Alas, Wanwan has eaten too much today, and if my father doesn't want it, it's a pity."
The queen mother doesn't like to eat sticky food, and the queen mother can't eat sweet, so she can only give it to the prince's brother. β
"Eat, eat, eat."
The old emperor snatched the paper bag, "Cheap that kid." β
Chu Yuewan hugged his arm and smiled on his shoulder.
"Father, don't be so harsh on the prince's brother."
The first moon intercedes in the evening.
"When I was a child, the emperor was much harsher than this."
The old emperor took a bite of a donkey and rolled around, and said, "As a prince, you must have the responsibility and courage of a prince, and you must also have the patience to be strict with yourself for the sake of the world's affairs."
But now he even has to choose a concubine against me! I'm going to see how many more years he can last. β
"My father didn't seem to be the crown prince before."
Chu Yue said in the evening.
Liu Cunmao, who had been standing next to him as if he was fine, suddenly looked at her nervously.
Even if she is the emperor's favorite princess, this kind of thing is not something that can be asked casually.
The old emperor thought for a moment, and his mouth squirmed as he chewed the pastry.
Chu Yuewan didn't realize what this problem was, she only knew in her previous life that the queen mother had several children, and her father was not originally the prince, but later the prince was deposed for violating the first king, and her father was able to ascend to the top of the Ninth Five.
I don't know much about the affairs of the previous dynasty, let alone my father's generation, so I'm quite curious.
"It's nothing."
After chewing the rice cake, the old emperor handed the paper bag to the palace people and put it on the fruit plate, and said to Chu Yuewan, "I am the third son of your imperial grandmother, and the crown prince was the eldest son of your imperial grandmother.
The world is unpredictable, and being an emperor always has to consider the continuation of the bloodline, so if the prince is not angry, the Dagao Dynasty will have no future. β
He straightened up and sat up: "So I have always been stricter with your imperial brother, I hope that he can bear this heavy responsibility, it is his responsibility to continue the heir, and choosing a concubine is a necessary condition for him to consolidate himself. β
At the end of the first month, there was no way to say the words "As long as the prince's brother is willing, I will always accompany him".
No one can avoid the responsibility of the royal family.
"Then ......," Chu Yuewan worried, "If the prince's brother has no children, will the father ...... Don't let him be the crown prince anymore? The old emperor thought on his knees.
"I can't give you an answer to this matter."
His tone softened, patting the back of Chu Yuewan's hand.
"Why does the prince's brother refuse to choose a concubine, does my father know the reason?" Chu Yue asked hurriedly.
The old emperor was silent again.
The holy order cannot be ignored, if the emperor is really determined to set a candidate for the prince's wedding, it will be impossible to keep him alone until now.
It has been so long since the crown ceremony, no matter how much Chu Yongwang is headed, it is impossible to screw the emperor.
Chu Yuewan couldn't help but think - perhaps, in fact, it was actually my father who didn't make up his mind? "Your brother," said the old emperor, "trusts no one. β
Chu Yuewan listened carefully to what he said.
"I want him to take responsibility."
The old emperor took her hand and said, "But I don't want to push him too hard. β
He didn't get into what Chu Yuewan really wanted to know.
Why is the prince's brother unwilling to trust others, why is he so withdrawn.
But if my father is willing to say this, he has already admitted his hesitation.
"Father, it's going to be fine."
Chu Yuewan comforted him, "The prince's brother said that if his father is really in a hurry, he will find the second emperor's brother to have a child." β
"What did he say?!" The old emperor's eyebrows suddenly rose up.
"The second emperor brother has so many children, he may not be able to recognize them, and the prince's brother said that it is okay to pick up a good one and raise one."
"No! How can there be such a prince! What a system! Call me over to Chu Yongwang! β
"Ahh
