Chapter 13: The Man Who Peeled Shrimp for Himself
One after another, palace people came in with dishes, and they were placed on the top table at the request of the emperor. The palace people trembled but did not dare to show it, trying their best to hide their stiff fingers and trembling lips.
The dishes did not last long, on the contrary, the speed of serving was very fast, not even half a cup of tea, a table of meat and vegetables with balanced nutrition and exquisite dishes have been placed, let you put down the chopsticks.
Wan Qiyan waved back left and right as usual, leaving no palace attendant to serve. And Yan Chuqi had already occupied the only chair on the table, looking at the food on the table, salivating. But she was very well-behaved, and she moved the chair over seriously while waiting for Mo Jing to go to the position where the minister was sitting below.
The two sat side by side, if someone peeked at Tianzi in His Royal Highness, I am afraid that they would feel that the two were like a match made in heaven, and they were so compatible.
Yan Chuqi stretched out her hand to pick up the vegetables, but a big oily chicken leg had already fallen into the bowl, and the chopsticks she stretched out retracted, and she glanced at the man who served her vegetables with a happy face, and began to fight against the chicken legs.
She nibbled on the chicken leg quite happily, this was the second meal she had crossed over, Yan Chuqi felt that she had been busy recently, and she felt that it should have been a long time, but in fact, it was only two days. Shuttling between space and reality, the concept of time gradually becomes weak and disappears.
After a while, a chicken leg had already entered Yan Chuqi's stomach, and she already felt slightly full. This body is too weak, it will be full after eating a little, and there is no body resistance of the later generations at all, Yan Chuqi pouted dissatisfiedly.
However, Wan Qiyan, who saw this scene, didn't think like this at all, he subconsciously thought that this girl hadn't eaten enough, after all, this girl had just eaten chicken legs, and she really didn't dare to be respectful, just like she had been hungry for several lifetimes, and there was a circle of oily stains on her small mouth.
Wan Qi Yanchu stretched out his hand and handed a small butterfly shrimp to Yan Chuqi, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, staring at the little girl eating with pleasure. Yan Chuqi was not ambiguous, reached out and took the peeled shrimp, dipped it in the sauce and sent it to her mouth, the shrimp was delicious, and she squinted her eyes with enjoyment.
Wan Qiyanchu's face was even more smiling, and the extreme tenderness seeped into his eyes, and the speed of peeling shrimp in his hand was faster, and he was extremely proficient, which made people smack their tongues.
Yan Chuqi's hand eating shrimp paused, and when he turned his head, he saw Wan Qiyanchu patronizing her peeling shrimp, the bowl was still empty, his face was a little blushing, and his hands were even more uncomfortable, but the shrimp in his hand couldn't be sent into his mouth.
She turned her head to look at the man who was seriously peeling the shrimp with his head down, and suddenly she had an idea and stuffed the peeled shrimp into the man's mouth. Wan Qiyan was stunned for a moment at the beginning, and then the green tendons on his wrists burst out, and the shrimp in his mouth spit out, and the internal force was already swimming all over his body, turning into a fortress that guarded his whole body.
Yan Chuqi looked at the man's subconscious self-defense actions in a daze, the hand holding the shrimp in his hand had drooped down without warning, and the shrimp meat fell and stained the dress.
She felt that she should run out in despair, but she had no position, no position. She is not Yan Chuqi, who everyone saw and fell in love with in her previous life, she is just an ordinary eunuch Xiao Qi in the harem of Mo Qiguo. She came to this Xunzheng Palace to admit punishment, she should have been a slave, and she was not worthy of sitting on this son.
Whether he is Wan Qiyanchu, the monarch of the Moqi Kingdom, or Mo Jing, an ordinary guard on duty in Cining Palace, she has no position or qualifications, sit here and let this man peel shrimp for him. She overestimated her abilities, and developed a proud temperament in her previous life, but in this life, she has become a stubborn problem.
Yan Chuqi's thoughts flipped, but the whole person sat in a daze and did not move. Wan Qiyan was already stunned at the beginning, remorseful, but more emotion was consternation.
He was the coldest person in the world, he never doubted it, until the first encounter with the girl last night, until now, he broke his habits again and again, and he even suspected that the woman had given him a medicine, like an insect ant, slowly gnawing at his heart, until it was hollow and disappeared.
A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, half an hour, an hour.
An hour passed. The two of them sat around the eight dishes on the table for a whole hour. Neither of them moved, just sat stunned, not eating, drinking, or speaking.
The oil stains on Yan Chuqi's dress have all dried up, penetrating into the emerald green fabric, and I am afraid that it will never be washed clean. It's like a wound, you can't avoid it, even if it's good, it still leaves an ugly scar.
Wan Qi Yanchu did not reject Yan Chuqi's approach, on the contrary, he liked to be with this interesting little girl, she could always make his heart happy, and she could always dye a smile on the corner of his mouth between his eyebrows. He didn't want to admit that he liked her, but he had to admit that he treated her differently than others.
Maybe meditation is easy to provoke thought, in other words, it's blind thinking, right? Yan Chuqi stared at the eight dishes on the table, suddenly swept away the gloom on her face, and looked like she was not afraid of heaven and earth, she raised the corners of her mouth, and proudly showed off to the person sitting next to her, "No, you still listen to my advice to the death, don't be extravagant and wasteful, and you have always been a good boy." ”
Wan Qiyan's chaotic thoughts suddenly opened because of this sentence, in fact, it doesn't matter whether the little girl is the one who harmed him or not, he just needs to remember that she is different, and the other party is willing to treat himself sincerely, then, he will give her back sincerity.
Wan Qi Yanchu sincerely apologized to her, "Chu Qi, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have disbelieved you, I could have done that, I ......" The words should have been smooth, but Wan Qi Yanchu said it stuck. Yan Chuqi laughed, "You stammered, hahahaha!" ”
The two of you chase me and play, neither of them uses kung fu, just like two ordinary children, running, dodging, laughing, jumping, and making trouble......
How good it is, if this world allows, then how good it is to be an ordinary person, without the responsibility of the state, without the struggle for survival, without endless deceit, intrigue, and without these and that concerns...... How good it is to be an ordinary person, but some people are born unwilling to be ordinary, and those who are unwilling to be ordinary cannot have an ordinary life.
Chasing and chasing, no matter how happy you are, you will be tired, you will be helpless, and you will not be able to live in fear. Yan Chuqi stopped, because she heard the edict of the imperial dining room outside the palace sending people to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
Wan Qiyanchu instructed the people to send the food to the small kitchen of the Xunzheng Palace to be hot, so that it could be eaten with white porridge in the evening.
The country of Mozambique is not rich, but it is extremely prosperous. Emperor Chenzong ordered the promotion of thrift and thrift, and for a while, the streets and alleys, pavilions and books, were full of a good story. A certain Yunyun, when the monarch of the dynasty, Emperor Chenzong, set an example, streamlined flowers, reduced meals, and saved rations for the victims. Everyone followed suit, and abstaining from luxury and frugality became a fashion.
