Chapter Ninety-Six: Accompanying the Queen
Zhu Ao took Sun Yunqi's little hand, and suddenly felt a softness surging all over his body, and then put his arm around Sun Yunqi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "The queen has contributed a lot to the fact that this king can build the country so smoothly. If it weren't for the queen's dissuasion, I'm afraid the king would have taken a detour. ”
Sun Yunqi's delicate body tilted slightly, gently leaned on Zhu Ao's solid chest, and said gently: "The prince will see the outside when he says this." The concubine is the prince's person, so naturally she does her best to help the prince. ”
Zhu Ao gently stroked her hair, and said softly: "The queen of this king is sensible, what flowers have you planted recently?" Can you accompany this king to have a look? ”
Sun Yunqi smiled sweetly, snuggled in Zhu Ao's arms, and deliberately pretended to be puzzled: "Doesn't the prince not like these things?" Why are you interested today? ”
Zhu Ao twisted her little nose and said with a hint of majesty: "What? If this king wants to accompany his queen, can't he? ”
Sun Yunqi's pretty face was overflowing with obvious happiness, he pressed his head tightly against Zhu Ao's chest, and his arms were tightly wrapped around Zhu Ao, and said with a smile: "The concubine can't wait for it." This is what the prince himself wants to see, and he can't leave impatiently later. ”
Zhu Ao gently hugged Sun Yunqi's delicate body, inhaled the fragrance emanating from her body with his nose to his heart's content, and said with an expression of enjoyment: "No, this king will not go anywhere today, only accompany the queen." ”
The two hugged quietly for a while, and Sun Yunqi began to take Zhu Ao to visit the back garden she had set up, and while shopping, he also introduced him to a few new varieties he had gotten.
Zhu Ao really lost interest for a while, and began to be perfunctory absentmindedly, how smart Sun Yunqi was, how could he not know her husband's thoughts, but she did not force Zhu Ao to continue to walk in the garden with her, but took Zhu Ao's hand and said: "The prince is tired from going to court all morning, it's quite cold outside, it's better to go to the palace of the concubine to sit down, and the concubine will let the subordinates make the prince's favorite haggis soup for the prince." "In later generations, Zhu Ao liked to drink haggis soup very much, and he would often drink a bowl every winter, and when he came to ancient times, especially as the king of the northwest, he naturally would not treat his stomach badly. Sun Yunqi already knew this habit of him.
Zhu Ao smiled, it was really shameless that the cowhide he blew out was not cashed, but fortunately, his wife was virtuous and sensible, and he didn't let himself get off the stage, and said, "Okay, then go to the queen to rest." ”
Zhu Ao took Sun Yunqi to her dormitory - Kunhe Palace, this is the name Zhu Ao gave it, hoping that his harem can always be harmonious and not let himself be distracted.
Zhu Ao and Sun Yunqi stepped into the hall, and suddenly a warm current came to their faces, which was caused by the stove burning in the hall, Tingwei and Yinhe hurriedly took down the big coat on Zhu Ao and Sun Yunqi, shook it and hung it aside, and then went to pour hot tea for the prince and the queen.
The buildings of the Ming Dynasty are made of wood, although the carving is exquisite, but the wooden material is easy to decay and damage, and it is easy to catch fire, not to mention anything else, just the Forbidden City, I don't know how many times it has been repaired since Zhu Di's time.
Chinese have the habit of building a new house when they get married, but in fact, it is a last resort, and the house built of wood is old for decades, how can the new daughter-in-law live there?
In contrast, Zhu Ao prefers the stone-based architecture of Central and Western Asia and Europe, which not only looks magnificent, but also durable, and has no problem living for hundreds of years. In addition, it also has both defensive and fire protection functions.
Later generations of Zhu Ao often saw some ancient castles in Europe that had gone through hundreds of years on TV, and he was very envious, and he always dreamed that he also had a castle of his own, but unfortunately although he is now a prince, the buildings of the Ming Dynasty are made of wood, and if you want to live in a stone castle, you can't find such a craftsman.
It seems that this king can only go all the way to the west, and this king must let Yunqi, Youcheng and Yuzhu live in a big castle made of stone to open their eyes.
Zhu Ao took a sip of the hot tea brought by Tingwei to warm up his body, Sun Yunqi just warmed his hands with a hot teacup, and then put it down and said to Tingwei: "Go and get a bowl of his favorite haggis soup for the prince." ”
Tingwei put her hands on her lower abdomen, made a curtsy, and said, "Yes, the slave obeys." Although she has been named Zhaoyi, she still calls herself a slave in front of the queen to show that she has not forgotten her duty.
After Sun Yunqi sent Tingwei away, he looked at Zhu Ao with a sideways face, and said with a smile: "Lord, the concubine will get you another sesame cake, it's delicious to put together." ”
Zhu Ao waved his hand, and hurriedly refused: "Forget it, I just ate it in the morning, I can't eat so much, a bowl of soup is fine." ”
After a while, Tingwei brought a bowl of hot haggis soup, respectfully put it in front of Zhu Ao, and said softly: "Lord Wang, please use it." ”
Zhu Ao raised his eyes and glanced at this pretty little slave, which made people crimson, and said with a smile: "Okay." You stand down. ”
Tingwei naturally didn't dare to compete with the queen for favor, so she could only share a little favor with Yinhe in addition to Zhu Ao's three concubines, and she could be seen by Zhu Ao, her heart beat a few times, a little sweet, and made a perfect curtsy to Zhu Ao, trying her best to show her suppleness, and said: "Yes." The concubines obeyed. ”
But she didn't really retreat, but stepped aside and stood with her hands down, so that the prince and queen could behave well when they needed it again.
Zhu Ao took a sip of the haggis soup brought by Tingwei, the taste was fresh but not fishy, it was the best work, the lamb belly inside was fragrant and crispy, very chewy, nodded unconsciously with satisfaction, and said with praise: "Well, it's good." When did the queen have such a good cook here, she didn't tell the king. ”
Sun Yunqi smiled sweetly, wiped the oil stains on the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "The prince said that he laughed, it was not the cook who made this bowl of soup from the concubine, it was Mrs. Fengxian." ”
"Huh?" Zhu Ao was stunned for a moment, ignoring the things in his mouth, and said in surprise: "Youcheng's mother? Would she still do this? And how did the queen know? ”
Sun Yunqi sat on the chair, his legs together, looking at the fragrant appearance of Zhu Ao's food, he was very happy, and said with a smile: "For the concubines and others, the biggest thing is the prince's business. The joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the prince are all great things in the eyes of the concubines and others. Now no one in the whole palace knows that the prince likes to eat this, so Mrs. Fengxian tried to make it, and the concubine tasted the haggis soup she made, and thought it tasted good, so she dedicated it to the prince. ”
This sounds very heartwarming, Zhu Ao is also a person, although he often listens to this, he still can't help but feel warm in his heart, and he took another sip of soup and said: "The queen and the concubines have hearts, and the king of Japan took the time to take a look at Mrs. Fengxian to thank her for her heart." ”
