"Yes" Xinyue didn't want to take care of Rong Ying, the two sat at the dining table, and Xinyue reached out and filled him with a bowl of whitebait soup and put it in Rong Ying's hand.

Rong Ying was about to speak, but Lian'er walked in, "Erchen greets my father." ”

"Get up, it's just in time, hurry up and eat" Rong Ying saw Lian'er, and smiled rarely, beckoning Lian'er to come over.

Xinyue also served a bowl of fish soup for Lian'er, "Come, let's eat." ”

"Yes" Lian'er sat beside Xinyue, Rong Ying picked up chopsticks, and the three of them began to eat.

The food here in the crescent moon is not much, but it is definitely hearty. The meat and vegetable combinations are all Lian'er's favorite food.

Lian'er was still very afraid of Rong Ying, so she didn't dare to pick up the vegetables, but just ate the white crystal rice in her bowl.

Xinyue picked up a piece of cherry meat that he loved to eat, "Come and taste it, this is a dish made by Mama Wang." ”

"Queen Xie" said, Lian'er smiled and ate the cherry meat in one bite.

"This, try it" Xinyue has been picking up vegetables for Lian'er, and after a while, he will pile his small plate into a small mountain, "Queen Mother, I want to eat bamboo shoots." ”

"Let's eat" said, Xinyue picked up a chopstick, bamboo shoots, fried pork slices, and put it on Lian'er's rice.

"This is not delicious," said Lian'er, who put aside the slices of pork and refused to eat them.

Crescent nodded, as long as he could eat more, she generally didn't care.

"What kind of food did you pick at a young age?" Rong Ying watched the two of them really eating in a very ordinary way, and they couldn't stand the cold treatment.

As soon as Rong Ying said this, Lian'er put down her chopsticks and looked at the new moon with blank eyes, not daring to look at Rong Ying.

Instead of speaking, the new moon picked up the chopsticks, picked up the slices of meat, and put them in her mouth, "Keep eating." ”

Lian'er still didn't dare to eat, and looked at the faces of the two people repeatedly, Xinyue nodded, and asked Lian'er to eat quickly, "You can eat." ”

"Yes" Lian'er picked up the chopsticks and gulped down the dishes on her plate.

After a while, he finished a bowl of rice, and his favorite whitebait soup was only the bowl that the new moon served him. The dishes are all clean, for fear that Rong Ying will talk about him again.

Xinyue and Rong Ying watched him quietly after eating, neither picked up the chopsticks again, and waited for Lian'er to look up, and Xinyue smiled at him, "Lian'er, are you full?" ”

"I'm full, why doesn't the queen mother eat?" Lian'er subconsciously glanced at Rong Ying, but saw that her father, who was still smiling when she came in at the beginning, was now looking at the two of them with a straight face.

"The queen mother is still eating, you are full, go down first, review your homework for a while and rest"

"Yes" Lian'er nodded and glanced at Rong Ying again, but Rong Ying still ignored him.

After Lian'er left, Xinyue raised her head and looked at Rong Ying for the first time.

Rong Ying thought that Xinyue would say something, but she only glanced at him and lowered her gaze again.

The room was extremely quiet, only the sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding, and the new moon picked up a piece of bamboo shoots and put it between her lips and teeth, but she couldn't swallow it.

"You're still angry about that?" Rong Ying was in a good mood when he came in, but at this time it was gone, and such a cold crescent moon seemed to be something he often saw.

"Don't dare," Xinyue put down her chopsticks, "Look, Your Majesty should be full, let people withdraw." ”

"I..." Rong Ying looked at the food between her dishes and chopsticks, and she didn't know how to answer Xinyue, but Xinyue had already made people tear off the food neatly.

After the meal was ripped off, the maid served tea, and the two remained silent.

Rong Ying spoke, "You are the queen, you can't not talk to me for three months because the concubine is pregnant." ”

"Your Majesty says yes." After the new moon drank tea, she picked up her belly pocket that was about to finish embroidering and embroidered the ending.

"Xu Xinyue" Rong Ying raised her voice.

"Yes" Xinyue looked up and looked at Rong Ying.

And Rong Ying started a tantrum and waved the cup in his hand to the ground, he also stood up, and shouted loudly to Xinyue, "You speak, where are you dissatisfied, where can't you look over, you are talking, you are collapsing word by word, are you going to vomit to death?" I've always had something happy, but you're like a basin of cold water, spilling out what I feel like I'm going to say to you, do you really want to push me out? Your Xu family is outside, and you are inside, so you really don't have a place to rely on me? ”

Xinyue raised her eyes, looked at the maids who had gathered in front of the door because she was afraid, waved at Mama Wang, and asked them to leave before she put down the embroidery in her hand, stood up, and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty is angry, the concubine is guilty." ”

"You... You..."Rong Ying looked at the crescent moon like a block of ice in a trance, remembering that in the past, "you, you" was so angry that he couldn't speak, it was the new moon.

Xinyue raised her eyes and looked at Rong Ying, "I don't know if Your Majesty is punishing the concubines for grounding or punishing them?" ”

"Am I just going to do these two things with you?"

"Then Your Majesty wants to give your concubine three feet of white silk?"

"What the hell is wrong with you? How the hell did I mess with you? Rong Ying half-squatted on the ground, looking at the faint crescent moon in her eyes.

"Concubines are jealous"

"Are you jealous?" Rong Ying smiled, and a sneer poured out of his lungs.

"The concubine is guilty," Crescent Moon leaned over and knelt on the ground.

Three months ago, that day was Rong Ying's birthday, he was not a person who liked to celebrate his birthday, and he didn't celebrate his first birthday after ascending the throne, so he didn't pay much attention to the second one.

The new moon has been exempted from morning and dusk since the third day of entering the palace, but on the ninth day, Chai Bijun and mercy will also come to greet the new moon. This is also the old calendar left by Queen Chai, but I didn't expect that she was also a queen who didn't like to be disturbed.

Today happened to be the ninth day of the fifth month, and the two of them came early in the morning, and when the new moon sat in their seats, the two of them had been waiting for a while.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, do you know what day it is?" Mercy didn't wait for the new moon to sit down, so she spoke eagerly to the new moon.

"Today is Your Majesty's birthday." Rong Ying went to the court in his palace today, and said that he would come for dinner in the evening.

"Niangniang, you know, the concubine has been waiting for the news that Niangniang is going to hold a banquet for His Majesty since five days ago, but Niangniang still hasn't moved."

"You also know Your Majesty, he doesn't want to celebrate his birthday. When I went to the court today, I just told the palace that it would be nice to have a simple dinner. ”

"That is the case, the concubine wants to invite the mother, and let the concubine participate in today's dinner, last year, when His Majesty was born, the concubine was not able to accompany her, and His Majesty did not come out at all when he stayed in the study." Speaking of this, the pity also revealed a bit of resentment.

Xinyue thought about it, Rong Ying didn't seem to explain that she was not allowed to invite others, since the two of them were here, then the four of them would have a dinner together, so she nodded, "Okay, that's the case, then the palace is the east, you all come to the palace for dinner." ”

"Yes" Mercy was very happy, and Chai Bijun had no objections.

After sending the two away, Xinyue called Xi'er, she was originally the inner court secretary to be the aunt in charge of the Crescent Moon Palace, because there was Mama Wang, although she was indeed the aunt in charge, but before the new moon was near, she was not often served.

"Niangniang, your name is slave maid" After Xi'er saluted, she stood beside Xinyue.

"Well, today's birthday of His Majesty, the concubine and the concubine will come over, you should prepare. This is also the first time that Kun Palace has held such a small banquet, you look up and down, and prepare properly. ”

"Yes" Xi'er got the order and walked out of the inner hall.

In the evening, Xinyue had just walked to the gate of the palace, waiting to greet His Majesty, and the two people who didn't know when they came were already waiting here, Xinyue was about to speak, Rong Ying was already a little tired and walked in, and the three of them hurriedly saluted.

Rong Ying looked up and saw that the three of them were there, and the tiredness on his face immediately retracted, and he just hummed lightly.

The three of them got up, and Compassion immediately stepped forward, "Your Majesty is here, let's go in." ”

"What's the matter, you're all in the Queen's Palace?" Rong Ying asked.

"Back to Your Majesty's words," Chai Bijun smiled decently, "The concubine knows that today is His Majesty's birthday, and His Majesty wants to eat with his mother, and the concubine is waiting for a special one..."

"We begged the queen, and the mother also allowed the three of us to accompany Your Majesty to a small banquet." Pity was really annoyed by Chai Bijun's twists and turns, and directly interrupted her words.

Hearing this, Rong Ying's face immediately fell, "Really?" ”

Xinyue nodded, "It's exactly as Concubine Shu said." ”

"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty doesn't like to be lively and just wants to spend time with your mother, the concubine will go first..."

"If you want to go back, you go back" Mercy had already hugged one of Rong Ying's arms, and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, you just let the concubine stay, the concubine has carefully prepared a gift for you." ”

"What does the queen think?" Rong Ying looked up at the new moon.

Xinyue lowered her eyebrows and said, "Since it is His Majesty's birthday, the two of them are also His Majesty's pillow people, so they naturally don't want to be absent." ”

"Okay, good" Rong Yinglian said two yes and nodded, "Come in." ”

This small banquet was held in the small pavilion of the drunken wind hall on the east side of the Kun Palace, because in the summer, the small pavilion opened the windows on all sides, and the wind convected in, which was very cool, and the delicacies had been set on the four tables.

Rong Ying was not interested, sat sideways on the main seat, Xinyue was about to take a seat, but saw Chai Bijun and Mercy as if they had discussed, knelt in front of Rong Ying, Chai Bijun spoke first, "Concubine body congratulates Your Majesty on his birthday, I wish my emperor long live, and I am a great saint and a great country." ”

Xinyue sat down, looking at the rare two people who would act together, thinking that these were all discussed by the two of them.

looked at Rong Ying with a smile, and also said a series of auspicious words.

Rong Ying was still in a bad mood, and said to the two of them, "Get up, since you're here for a banquet, let's eat." ”

Xinyue saw the displeasure in Rong Ying's eyes, and when she wanted to explore, Rong Ying had already picked up the chopsticks and started to eat a little bored.

"What's bothering Your Majesty?" Chai Bijun was one step ahead of Xinyue and asked.

"It's just that the affairs of the court and the central government are a little tricky, so it's okay, don't mess up the interest in dining." Although he said this, Xinyue felt that the worst thing to eat was Rong Ying with a face in front of him.

"A cup of respect for Your Majesty," said Chai Bijun, who raised his cup.

Xinyue still didn't speak, because mercy would definitely be the first to provoke and say, "Guifei, if it weren't for Niangniang still sitting here, I still think that in this palace, there is only you Guifei Niangniang, Niangniang hasn't toasted yet, which wine did you toast first?" ”

"Yes, it's the concubine who has lost her temper, and I ask the mother to forgive her sins." Chai Bijun stood up in a bit of a panic, and it looked like he was about to kneel down and confess to Xinyue.

Before Xinyue could speak, Rong Ying was the first to attack, "Okay, didn't you say it's a small banquet?" Why didn't I start gossiping before I started eating. ”

Crescent Moon frowned, how could this be gossip.

I saw Rong Ying pick up the wine glass and drink all the wine in the cup, as if she really had a stomach full of troubles, Xinyue would not have asked in the past, but her birthday was so depressed, she couldn't bear it, so she asked, "If there is really anything to worry about, you can talk about it,"

"It's today..."Rong Ying will still tell Xinyue about some things in the court, first, Xinyue's insight is indeed extraordinary, and secondly, although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, the queen does have the qualifications to say a few words and know. But Rong Ying just wanted to speak, and saw the two people around him again, and shook his head, "It's okay"

"Then Your Majesty taste, this cherry meat is made by Mama Wang herself." Crescent Moon pointed to the dish in front of her.

Rong Ying picked up the chopsticks, pinched a piece, and put it between her lips and teeth.

The cherry meat is cut into a flower knife on a whole piece of meat, cut into the same size as a cherry, because of the addition of red yeast rice, soy sauce and other seasonings, the finished dish is also the same color as the cherry, it looks very attractive, and the taste is also sweet and fresh, and the taste is very good. Rong Ying really liked it after taking a bite, and said a rare word, "Not bad." ”

"Taste it too," Crescent Moon said to Chai Bijun and Mercy.

"Yes" Seeing that Rong Ying praised its taste, the two of them also picked up chopsticks and ate them.

"Where is Mama Wang?" Rong Ying took another bite and called Mama Wang.

Mama Wang bent her knees: "I have seen Your Majesty." ”

Rong Ying looked at the obedient old woman in front of her, and remembered the cold reception he had received from her, he was not a person who was an accountant, but he also wanted to ask and said, "When I saw you that day, Mama firmly rejected me and refused to be used by me, and now, the small banquet prepared for me, Mama is so attentive, why is it?" ”

Xinyue was not worried, because she knew that Rong Ying was just a curiosity that she didn't suppress for a while, and Mama Wang could also respond well, and sure enough, Mama Wang bowed in and out moderately, and said to Rong Ying, "The slave maid wants to tell Your Majesty first, why does the slave maid cook for Your Majesty so hard." ”

Rong Ying supported her cheek with one hand and nodded, "You say"

"Just because you are the husband of the mother, and you are the one who will take care of the mother in the future, so the slave and maid should be good to you, I hope you eat well, dress warmly, don't get sick, don't go hungry, so that you can take good care of our mother." After Mama Wang finished speaking, she still looked indifferent between her eyebrows.

"Well said, because of your mother, and be good to me, the person who takes care of her. You are a loyal servant, worthy of being your mother's nurse to the old man from now. In this way, I want to reward you for taking care of your mother. ”
