"It's just...... The slave maid went to the imperial dining room to prepare a meal for the concubine, but she was afraid that the food would be cold, so she took the path with a moment of eagerness, and asked the emperor to atone for her sins. Ah Ruan was still carrying the food box in his arms, with a sincere and frightened look on his face.

Hearing this, Ye Hao's eyes flashed slightly, a complicated expression flashed on her cold face, her dark eyes lit up slightly, and she said in a low voice: "How do you slaves and maids serve the concubine?" It's past dinner time. ”

"I also asked the emperor to atone for her sins, because the concubine had no appetite, but now she was a little hungry, so she ordered the slave maid to prepare some meals." Ah Ruan frowned and defended himself word by word.

Xie Yuchen, who was still cold, frowned with his sword eyebrows, with a displeased look on his face, and asked in a deep voice: "What is the concubine Niangniang's thoughts?" Have you never eaten? ”

Afraid that he was wrong, Ah Ruan's face changed slightly, and he said in a trembling voice: "Although the slave maid is waiting by the side of the concubine, I don't know what is going on in her heart. ”

A gust of cold wind blew, and Ah Ruan lowered his head with a worried look on his face and said, "It's not too early, the slave maid has to hurry back to prepare a meal for the little master, which will not disturb the emperor's quiet." ”

"Go ahead." Xie Yuchen waved his palm and motioned for Ah Ruan to get up and leave.

"The slave and maid will retire first."

Immediately, Ah Ruan held the food box in his arms, stood up and turned to leave.

Seeing that Ah Ruan was thin, he hurriedly walked in the direction of Chaohua Palace with the food box in his arms.

Xie Yuchen stood in place, watching Ah Ruan disappear into the night, but he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Wang Dafu on the side looked at Xie Yuchen with a surprise look, and reminded in a low voice: "Go back to the emperor, it's not too early, you should go to the Qingyin Palace." ”

"It's not early, I think Xian Zhaoyi has already slept." Xie Yuchen said faintly, raising his phoenix eyes and scanning the dark night sky.

"That's according to the emperor......"

Wang Dafu stopped asking, and he asked suspiciously with a surprised look on his face.

"The concubine hasn't stopped yet, I may not have tasted the Longjing tea brewed by the concubine herself for a long time, but I miss it a little." Xie Yuchen's face was cold, and he said quietly.

Hearing what this meant, Wang Dafu looked in the direction of Chaohua Palace, and replied in a low voice: "The emperor is going to Chaohua Palace to accompany the concubine?" ”

"Hmm." Xie Yuchen's thin lips opened slightly, stepped on a pair of dragon pattern boots, and walked towards the direction of Hua Palace.

Seeing that Xie Yuchen was going to Chaohua Palace, Wang Dafu frowned, and said again: "But ...... Fang Cai's slave maid had already sent someone to Qingyin Hall to inform Xian Zhaoyi, and now the emperor is going to Chaohua Palace again, so what is good. ”

However, Xie Yuchen had already walked towards Chaohua Palace, and said with thin lips: "You go back to Xian Zhaoyi, let her rest early, and I will visit her again tomorrow." ”

After speaking, Xie Yuchen made up his mind, and the tall figure disappeared into the night.

"Yes." Wang Dafu didn't dare to stop him, so he had to nod in response, and hurriedly sent a slave to return to Zhao Jingxian.

The hour is not early, and the concubines in the harem, if they hadn't been turned over by Xie Yuchen, they would have rested early.

Only in Chaohua Palace, the red lights are still shining, and the slaves and maids are still going in and out of the palace.

Ah Ruan hurriedly returned to Chaohua Palace, and waited to support Ye Hao.

At this moment, Ye Hao was sitting on the chair, stroking the qin, and the palace was silent, only the beautiful sound of the piano echoed in it.

"It's time for the little lord to eat, it's cold outside, so the little lord should eat it while it's hot." Ah Ruan put all the side dishes in the food box on the table one by one and said in a low voice.

"Why have you been out for so long today?" Ye Hao asked casually while stroking the qin. dm

"When the slave maid went to the imperial dining room to get some meals, she happened to see the emperor, and it was delayed for a while." Ah Ruan carefully placed the side dishes in the food box on the table and replied in a low voice.

After the song, Ye Hao sat there motionless, with a calm face, and said calmly: "What's so strange about meeting the emperor?" ”

"The slave maid looked at the place where the emperor passed, but walked in the direction of the Qingyin Palace." Ruan brought a bowl of sweet cheese to Ye Hao and whispered back.

Standing up slowly, Ye Hao walked towards the outer room, took the sweet cheese and said lightly: "Xian Zhaoyi has always been favored, and the emperor has gone to her palace to rest a few days ago. ”

"I think it's the emperor who has finished approving the recital and is walking towards Xian Zhaoyi's palace." Ah Ruan said casually while serving Ye Hao to eat.

Picking up the wooden spoon and taking a few sips of steaming sweet cheese, Ye Hao felt much better.

"The little master doesn't always drink sweet cheese, and the slave maid also prepared some refreshing side dishes for the little master, and invited the concubine to taste it." Ah Ruan replied respectfully.

Looking at the carefully cooked side dishes on the table, Ye Hao bowed slightly and said, "You have a heart, now that this hour is here, the chef who wants to come to the imperial dining room has already rested." ”

"The little master is right, the cooks in the imperial dining room have all gone to sleep, and the slave maid and a few palace maids have made meals for the little master." Ah Ruan replied softly.

Then Ah Ruan picked some side dishes and put them on the plate, and said respectfully: "The little master tastes delicious?" ”

Cai Ze was full of color and fragrance, but Ye Hao only ate a bowl of sweet cheese, and put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand.

Seeing that Ye Hao had eaten less, and even those exquisite dishes Ye Hao hadn't eaten a few bites, Ah Ruan said worriedly: "The little lord has had less solar eclipses recently, don't you have any thoughts?" ”

"I'm not hungry, so I can't force it, right?" Ye Hao slowly stood up, walked to the chaise longue and sat down.

"What the master said is very true." Ah Ruan's face froze, and he no longer continued to persuade.

She sat there idlely, looking calm and steady, and said casually: "I just had dinner, and I don't feel sleepy. ”

"Then the little lord will rest for a while, and then go to sleep." Ah Ruan whispered while instructing the palace maid to come in and clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Just as Ah Ruan turned around and walked out of the inner hall, a tall black figure walked in.

Suddenly, Ah Ruan's face changed slightly, and he looked at the person in front of him in surprise, and when he was about to bow with him, the word "...... the emperor" had not yet come out of his mouth.

was stopped by Xie Yuchen, he raised his hand and waved, signaling Ah Ruan to retreat.

Seeing this, Ah Ruan glanced at Ye Hao, who was sitting in the inner room, and did not speak, and after bowing, he got up and retreated.

Seeing Xie Yuchen walk into the inner room, the waiting slaves and maids were all blessed, and quietly turned around and retreated.

However, Ye Hao didn't know it, she sat there quietly and didn't speak, and the green jade held an ancient book in her hand and kept flipping through it.

The cold wind was whistling outside the window, but the hall was quiet and exceptionally warm.

Ye Hao was dressed in thin emerald green clothes, even the cumbersome jewelry on the top of her head had faded, and her beautiful little face was not powdered, looking at the extraordinarily plain brocade, but she couldn't hide her elegant and dignified temperament.

Xie Yuchen, who was standing in front of the palace gate for a while, was a little stupid, his sword eyebrows stretched, staring at Ye Hao intently, and did not step forward to disturb her tranquility.

I don't know how long she did, Ye Hao didn't feel a little sleepy, she looked at the books in her hand leisurely, sometimes frowning, sometimes her brows stretched.

But that delicate little face was as quiet as water, and people couldn't see a trace of emotion.
