"Your Majesty, let's rest after watching the recital for a long time." Jin Ying came to Xuanzong with a bowl of ginseng tea.

Xuanzong put down the fold in his hand, gently rubbed his temples with both hands, and asked, "Jin Ying, what time is it?" ”

Jin Ying said: "It's noon when I return to the emperor. ”

Xuanzong said, "Oh. The hour passed so fast, and before I knew it, it was noon, and I hadn't seen much of it. ”

Jin Ying said: "Your Majesty, you are diligent in your government, love the people, and do it yourself, I'm afraid that no amount of time will be enough." You see, it's noon now, so it's better to have lunch first and then watch the folds. ”

"You don't say that I don't feel hungry, and now that you say so, I want to eat something." Xuanzong said.

Seeing that Xuanzong was going to eat, Jin Yingxi said with a smile: "The slave maid will order the imperial dining room to pass the meal." "No." Xuanzong got up and walked outside from the desk, and Jin Ying followed behind him and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, why is this?" ”

Xuanzong said: "I went to Sun Guifei to see that there was a meal." "Ah," the slave obeyed.

"The emperor drove the road."

Xuanzong had come to Xianfu Palace at this time, Sun Guifei received a report that Chun'er and Xiaohe had greeted Xuanzong at the gate of the palace. Xuanzong said: "Ai Fei Fei is flat" stepped forward and helped Sun Guifei up.

Xuanzong asked with concern: "I have been busy with political affairs these days, but Concubine Ai is okay?" ”

Sun Guifei said with a smile: "The concubine entrusted the emperor's fortune and everything is fine. Xuanzong said: "I can rest assured that you are doing well, you don't blame me for being busy with government affairs and neglecting to come to see you, right?" After speaking, Xuanzong took Sun Guifei's hand affectionately.

Sun Guifei pretended to be angry and said, "Strange, why not blame." The emperor didn't come to ask the concubines for a few days," Xuanzong was still stunned, and Sun Guifei was already laughing.

Sun Guifei said: "However, the slight grievances suffered by the concubines are nothing compared to the emperor's government affairs, the emperor is the emperor of all people, and the emperor is busy with government affairs, which is what the emperor should do." ”

"It's rare for a concubine to be considerate of me." Xuanzong sighed after listening to Sun Guifei's words, and Sun Guifei asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, what is the matter with your concubines here when you are not in the Qianqing Palace to deal with government affairs at this time." Xuanzong smiled and said, "I came here to ask for a bowl of food from Concubine Ai." ”

Sun Guifei said: "The emperor is really good at laughing. Concubine Sun Guifei turned her head to Jin Ying and said, "Your Excellency, the chief, please let the imperial dining room pass the meal. ”

"Hey, slave and maid are going." Jin Ying smiled and went out to pass the meal, "Ai Fei, why do I feel that your palace is very deserted?" Xuanzong asked, and Sun Guifei said: "In order to reduce the redundancy in the palace, the emperor has reduced the elderly palace maids and eunuchs by many times, and the emperor will not forget it, right?" ”

Xuanzong said: "There is such a thing, but I specially checked the roster of Xianfu Palace, Xianfu Palace has not lost a palace person, and I see that your personal palace maid is nowhere to be seen." ”

Sun Guifei said: "The concubines here have not been reduced, but Concubine Zhao Xian, Concubine Wu Hui, and Concubine Jiao Shufei are not as lucky as the concubines. ”

"Nonsense." Xuanzong scolded, and then Xuanzong said: "Wouldn't the queen put you in a difficult situation by doing this. Sun Guifei said: "The emperor must not be angry, it is understandable for the queen to lead the six palaces to do this, and it is also willing to find some people from the concubines to calm the inconvenience of several sisters." ”

Xuanzong listened to Sun Guifei's words and said with some unease: "You really have no inconvenience? Sun Guifei said with a smile: "The emperor can rest assured." ”

Xuanzong asked, "I just asked where your palace maid has gone, why isn't she around?" Referring to this, Sun Guifei said with some sadness: "Hey, this girl somehow twisted her foot and let her go down to rest." "Have you seen it to the Imperial Doctor?"

Xuanzong asked, and Sun Guifei said, "I have already asked Imperial Doctor Chen to come and see it, so I can walk on the ground in a few days." ”

"Hmm." Xuanzong said to Chun'er and Xiaohe beside him: "Do you two want to wait for the concubine Niangniang every step of the way?" ”

"The slave obeys." Chun'er and Xiaohe replied in unison.

"Your Majesty, the imperial meal of the concubine has been prepared, is it ready to be served?" Jin Ying asked softly beside her, and the concubine said, "Hurry up and pass it on, presumably the emperor is already hungry." ”

"Hey." Kim Young replied.

Jin Ying said to the door, "Come in." Outside the house, eunuchs with food came in one after another.

After the dishes were served, Sun Guifei got up, picked up the bowl and scooped up some porridge and put it in front of Xuanzong, Sun Guifei said: "The emperor first drink some porridge to warm up his body." Xuanzong took the porridge and said to Sun Guifei: "Concubine Ai will accompany me to eat together." ”

"Your Majesty, the imperial meal of the concubine has been prepared, is it ready to be served?" Kim Young asked softly beside him. Sun Guifei said: "Hurry up and pass it on, presumably the emperor is already hungry." ”

"Hey." Jin Ying replied, and Jin Ying said to the door, "Come in." Outside the house, eunuchs with food came in one after another.

After the dishes were served, Sun Guifei got up, picked up the bowl and scooped up some porridge and put it in front of Xuanzong, Sun Guifei said: "The emperor first drink some porridge to warm up his body." Xuanzong took the porridge and said to Sun Guifei: "Concubine Ai will accompany me to eat together." ”

"The concubine is not hungry, just help the emperor with vegetables." Sun Guifei said next to Xuanzong.

Xuanzong put down the porridge in his hand and said to Sun Guifei: "The rice needs to be eaten by more people to be fragrant, and I can't eat these meals on the table alone." Xuanzong pointed to the food on the table.

"Since this is the case, the concubine will eat some well, and Chun'er will bring a pair of dishes and chopsticks to the palace." Sun Guifei said to Chun'er, and Chun'er brought a pair of dishes and chopsticks that had been prepared from the side and put them in front of Sun Guifei.

Sun Guifei gave herself a bowl of porridge, scooped a small spoonful of rice porridge with a spoon and put it in her mouth, Sun Guifei said to herself: "The porridge is really fragrant, it melts in the mouth, and the pure fragrance is pure, but the concubine likes it a little." After speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Xuanzong and found that Xuanzong was looking at him.

Sun Guifei said to Xuanzong: "Your Majesty, why are you looking at your concubines like this? ”

"Ha, ha........." Xuanzong laughed involuntarily.

Xuanzong said: "I see that Concubine Ai eats like a fairy descending to earth, and I don't think it's enough. ”

"Your Majesty, you just like to play tricks on your concubines, and you have fun playing with your concubines, if the emperor is like this, the concubines won't eat it." After Sun Guifei finished speaking, she put the bowl on the table, and twisted her body to the side with her back to Xuanzong.

Xuanzong cherished Sun Guifei and relied on him, Xuanzong said: "Okay, good, I just have to eat and don't look at Concubine Ai, Concubine Ai hurry up and eat." ”

Sun Guifei was not angry, seeing that Xuanzong had already promised, she turned to look at Xuanzong and said, "In this case, the emperor has to say something." "Of course." Xuanzong said to Sun Guifei.

Sun Guifei picked up the bowl again, scooped some porridge with a spoon, put it in her mouth and savored it, Xuanzong saw that Sun Guifei's bowl was also at the bottom and said to Sun Guifei: "Give me the bowl, and I will give you some more." Sun Guifei said in astonishment: "How can this be done." ”

"Don't postpone it anymore, concubine." Xuanzong said in an unquestionable tone, and Sun Guifei did not delay any longer, picked up the bowl with both hands and handed it to Xuanzong.

Xuanzong handed the porridge to Sun Guifei and said, "If you like to eat it, you can eat more." Sun Guifei took the bowl and said happily: "Concubine thank the emperor for his grace." Picking up the spoon and eating it, Xuanzong was full of joy when he saw that Sun Guifei was happy.

"Kim Young."

"The slave is here."

"Concubine Sun loves to eat this porridge, and from tomorrow onwards, I will send some to me at this hour every day." Xuanzong instructed Jin Ying.

Jin Ying: "The slave remembers. "The appetizer porridge has been eaten, and it's time for the main meal." Xuanzong said.

Sun Guifei put the bowl on the table and said, "The concubine came to serve the emperor's dishes." ”

Sun Guifei picked up the chopsticks and put some vegetables in Xuanzong's bowl and said, "Your Majesty, this is the assorted chicken shreds you like to eat." "Ai Concubine also eats." Xuanzong sandwiched a piece of wishful weariness to Sun Guifei, and after Xuanzong ate the assorted chicken shreds that Sun Guifei had sandwiched for himself, he glanced around the table with his eyes, and was finally attracted by a dish on the table covered with a delicate lid of eight treasures.

"What kind of dish is that, open the lid and let me taste it." Xuanzong's eyes stared straight at the dish on the table, Sun Guifei stood up, stretched out her hand to lift the lid, and a mist rose from it, and then there was a burst of fragrance, and Chun'er and Xiaohe, who were present, couldn't help but sniff a few more times.

Sun Guifei was very tired of this aroma and wanted to close the lid, but Xuanzong said: "I am very familiar with this dish, Aifei quickly open the lid and let me taste it." Xuanzong picked up the chopsticks from the table and went straight to the dish on the table, picked a piece of meat with the tip of the chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, and his mouth made exclamations from time to time.

After the exclamation, Xuanzong seemed to remember something, slapped the chopsticks on the table, looked at Sun Guifei who was sitting on the side in a daze, Xuanzong "begged for mercy": "Ai Concubine, I am in a hurry to lose my trust." ”

Sun Guifei said dissatisfiedly: "Why does the emperor Chrysostom deceive his concubines. ”

Xuanzong said with grievances: "I have already eaten this, how can I be good?" Sun Guifei turned her back to Xuanzong and said, "Since you have eaten it, then eat the rest together, what a pity it is to leave it there." ”

"Aifei, don't be angry with me, I also ate such a bite because I was itchy for a while and didn't hold it." Xuanzong moved Sun Guifei to face him, Sun Guifei still looked unhappy, but her tone was already gentle.

Sun Guifei said: "Your Majesty, the concubines are very uncomfortable with this 'garlic open-backed lobster', which is itchy and inconvenient, and I also ask the emperor to have mercy on the concubines." After speaking, Sun Guifei knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes.
