After chatting with Shu Zhaoyi, Chu Changting returned to Fenghe Palace full of worries. Previously, she only knew that Yi Lunhuan would only pamper herself, but she never really thought about what the remaining concubines who were in their prime should do. In life, it should be a pity that you can't experience the love of men and women and their children and grandchildren.

She clung wistfully to the rocking chair in the courtyard, swaying absentmindedly. Suddenly, she saw a familiar little figure flash at the gate of the palace, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly followed. But he saw the little boy standing in the shadows of the doorway, looking in timidly.

Chu Nanpu. Chu Changting's nose was instantly sour, and she stood not far from Chu Nanpu looking at him, the corners of her eyes slightly reddened.

When Chu Nanpu saw Chu Changting coming out, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted. Chu Changting's heart ached, but he couldn't help it, so he had to hurriedly stretch out his hand and signal him to get up: "Get up, get up." ”

"Good boy, what are you doing here?" Chu Changting stepped forward and touched Chu Nanpu's round head, Chu Nanpu immediately burst into tears, endured crying and bowed respectfully, grandma replied: "A few days ago, I saw the queen's mother at the post-sealing ceremony, and I felt very kind, so I wanted to secretly look for it." ”

"Good boy, don't be sneaky in the future." Chu Changting pulled Chu Nanpu into Fenghe Palace, and then pulled him into the back compartment, then hugged him tightly and pinched his face that still had a bit of baby fat, "From now on, don't stay in the imperial dining room anymore, stay in the small kitchen next to the palace." ”

"Queen Mother, you are so nice, you look very much like my sister." Chu Nanpu said to her seriously.

Chu Changting held back his bitterness, held back his tears, pulled out a smile, and asked gently, "Then do you know where your sister is now?" ”

"I don't know, but they all told me my sister was dead, and I didn't believe it." Chu Nanpu said as he spoke, his voice a little choked again.

Chu Changting couldn't hold back any longer, covering his face with wide sleeves, and his thin body couldn't help but tremble. It took a while to return to normal, and he reached out and patted Chu Nanpu's little face, holding out a smile: "Then how about you stay by Bengong's side, and Bengong will accompany you and wait for your sister?" ”

Chu Nanpu nodded seriously, then took two steps back, solemnly bowed to Chu Changting, and said crisply: "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

Chu Changting stretched out his hand to help Chu Nanpu in distress: "You...... What is your name? ”

"I am the ninth among the master's apprentices, so they all call me Xiao Jiu." Chu Nanpu paused, even if the person in front of him was very similar to his own sister, he didn't say his real name.

Chu Changting also paused, and helped Chu Nanpu smooth his hair with a complicated expression: "Okay, Xiao Jiu." ”

At dinner, Yi Lunhuan came to Fenghe Palace on time and sat in his own position obediently waiting for the meal. Chu Changting absentmindedly added vegetables to Yi Lunhuan, and absentmindedly bit his chopsticks. Yi Lunhuan saw Chu Changting's strange appearance, and after adding a spoonful of sweet and sour tenderloin to her, he asked, "What's the matter, do you have something on your mind today?" ”

Chu Changting snorted and bit his chopsticks hard, hurting his teeth slightly. She put down her chopsticks and said to Yi Lunhuan seriously: "Your Majesty, the concubine has two things to ask Your Majesty today. ”

Chu Changting rarely begged for himself, and Yi Lunhuan raised his eyebrows with interest: "Say it." ”

"The little apprentice of Chef Zhang in the imperial dining room, the concubine wants to ask him over." Chu Changting carefully observed Yi Lunhuan's face.

"Did you say your brother? Naturally, you can. However, Chef Zhang has not owed him all these years, and he has treated him very well, and I have seen it in my eyes. Chef Zhang doesn't have children, he treats your brother as his own son, if you want to ask him to come, remember to say hello to Chef Zhang. Yi Lunhuan told Chu Changting unabashedly that he knew about Chu Nanpu.

Chu Changting's heart warmed slightly, and he hummed softly. After eating a few mouthfuls of food absentmindedly, looking up and seeing Yi Lunhuan looking at him with burning eyes, Chu Changting swallowed the food in his mouth in embarrassment.

"What's the second thing?"

Chu Changting swallowed and foamed, considered his words, and slowly spoke.

"Today, Shu Zhaoyi came to find the concubine and said that she and Chen Jieyu wanted to leave the palace." Seeing Yi Lunhuan's face stiffen, Chu Changting hurriedly explained, "You see, they have been in the palace for almost three years, and they have never done anything beyond the norm. And if they continue to stay in the palace, they will not be favored by you, and they can only exhaust their lives in vain, so depending on the concubines, it is better to ......"

Yi Lunhuan looked at Chu Changting fixedly, and said for a while: "Chu Chu, even if you don't say it, I already have this intention." ”

"Huh?" Chu Changting blinked.

"I've already planned it. Feng Shu Zhaoyi is the third-grade baroness county lord, Chen Jieyu is the fourth-grade baroness county lord, generations of female dependents are hereditary, give the world a beautiful edict, and then find a good son-in-law for them, so that the two of them will have no worries in the second half of their lives. Yi Lunhuan sandwiched another piece of sweet and sour loin for Chu Changting, and poured beans into the bamboo tube to smooth out his plan.

Then why did you ...... "Then why didn't you do it earlier?"

"It was the Queen Mother who didn't let me do this. Although she is not my biological mother, I don't have to listen to her, but after all, she is old, and I was quite taken care of by her when I was young, and I am not very disobedient to her. ”

"What does the Queen Mother mean?"

"What the Queen Mother means is that although she also likes you very much, after all, I am the emperor, and I want to be wet with rain and dew, and I can't spoil your family alone." Yi Lunhuan took the white jade chopsticks carved and nodded at the end of Chu Changting's smooth and full forehead.

"Then, will Your Majesty listen to the Queen Mother?" For some reason, Chu Changting always felt that his tone was sour when he said this.

Yi Lunhuan smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and stuffed the sweet and sour tenderloin on Chu Changting's plate that she had never eaten into her mouth, looked at her with a smile and said, "Do you want me to listen?" ”

Chu Changting was deflated, pouted, swallowed the loin in his mouth, and slowly spoke: "Your Majesty's thoughts, the concubines still don't speculate." ”

"Wait, the Queen Mother will always be relieved." Yi Lunhuan raised his chin and looked at Chu Changting's phoenix eyes with a hint of cunning.

"When will you let go?" Chu Changting unexpectedly fell into Yi Lunhuan's trap.

"Wait until you give me another little prince. In this way, I have two princes, and the Queen Mother will be much more relieved. ”

“.......”

After dinner, the two of them went to give birth to the little prince. Han Mi Ji and Yan Er sat side by side outside the house to keep vigil. The autumn night sky is clear, the sky is full of stars, and the night breeze is refreshing and pleasant, such weather will always make people think for no reason.

Yan'er held her face in both hands, and looked at Han Miaoji cautiously from time to time. Han Miaoji noticed Yan Erqi's strange little movements, and chuckled helplessly: "Yan Er, what are you looking at?" ”

"My aunt...... I don't know whether to say it or not. Yan Ernne opened his mouth, but his eyes flashed with gossip.

"Speak."

"That day, I accidentally bumped into you and Master Su......"

"......" Han Miao's face froze.

"Don't get me wrong! I don't mean anything else. I just think that Master Su really treats you very well, why don't you stay with him? ”

"Yan'er, you are still young, there are many things in this world, you still don't understand." Han Yaoxi sighed lightly, looked up at the moon, and her eyes were full of emptiness.

"It's true that I don't know how to love men and women, but I know how to like someone, so I will think about being with him, and I will miss him all the time after being separated for a while. Sister Miao, do you want to be with Master Su? Yan'er asked curiously.

"You little girl." Han Miaoxi smiled hastily, and her cold face was dyed with two shallow blushes, like crimson agate inlaid in white jade.

Thinking of Su He, Han Miaoxi would always be confused for a while. She took a deep breath and felt her heart rattle like a silver spoon against white porcelain. She lifted her chin, she knew that he and Su He couldn't have any good results after all, what she had to do was to lose her head, and she must not have too much to do with Su He.

"Sister Auntie, every time I look at the love between the emperor and the queen, I want to know what this love is like." Yan'er looked at the starry sky with a longing face, imagining a better future.

"Little Yan'er has grown up and learned to think about this." Han Yaoxiao smiled lightly, lowered her head and fiddled with her slender nails, she stretched out her hand, and her smooth nails were also shining in the moonlight.

Yan'er has always felt that Han Miaoxi is a cold woman full of charm, but today, for some reason, under the bright moonlight, she suddenly felt that Han Miaoxi was a little closer. She had the courage to put her arms around Han Miaoxi's arm, leaned her head lightly on her shoulder, and whispered: "Sister Miao, I seem to have fallen in love with someone, what do you say I should do?" ”

Han Miaoxi snorted suspiciously, the men in this palace, except for the emperor, there are only eunuchs left, who can this little Yan'er like.

If what she likes is Yi Lun Hwan, then ......

Han Yao's eyes instantly condensed into frost, her delicate jaw raised slightly, and she asked tentatively in a reserved voice: "What does Xiao Yan'er like about the young man of the He family?" ”

When Yan'er heard this, her face turned bright red, and she squirmed and drilled into Han Miao's armpit, which made Han Miao's speechless for a while, but after thinking about it, she was just a little girl who was just starting to fall in love, so she eased her expression again, gently stroked Yan'er's hairy head, and said softly: "It's okay, you tell me, I'll help you with the staff." ”

Yan Er hesitated for a long time before he held back a sentence, and his voice was as small as a mosquito: "But he'...... He's younger than me. ”

Han Miaoxi was slightly relieved, but she couldn't figure out who Yan'er could like. After thinking about it, I felt that it was still the best not to think about it, so I closed my eyes with peace of mind: "Age doesn't matter. ”

"I love the small kitchen newcomer Xiao Jiu...... In fact, I sometimes don't know what kind of feelings I have for Xiao Jiu, but since I helped him in the imperial dining room that time, he is very enthusiastic every time he sees me, and my heart beats faster every time I see him, so do you like it? Yan'er whispered in embarrassment.

This little Yan'er actually likes Chu Changting's younger brother. Han Yaoxi broke open her eyes in disbelief, and a pair of sleeping phoenix eyes opened widely, revealing round and pitch-black pupils.
