Chapter Twenty-Nine: Meals

"Then let's stay and eat together." Huang Fuchen pondered for a while, and said expressionlessly, as if the person who said those words just now was not him.

"The retainers obeyed."

"The concubine went to pass the meal." Said and ran out of the Xuanzheng Palace, feeling that if I didn't go out, my whole person would be oppressed by the strange atmosphere inside, I knew that Huang Fuchen's eyes had been locked on my back, and his steps sped up a few steps.

"Niangniang, is the emperor better?" As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, Zhao Fu came up and asked.

I eased my mind and said indifferently, "It's much better, haven't you seen that His Royal Highness the Southern King has withdrawn?" The emperor asked him to pass the meal, and today he wants to have a family with His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"The slave knows that Concubine An must have a way. In the past two years, every time the emperor is angry, as long as he listens to a few words from Niangniang, he will be relieved, and Niangniang is really meritorious. Zhao Fu straightened the cane in his hand, and then said, "The slave ordered to go and pass the meal, and there is Lao Niangniang." ”

"Father-in-law, hurry up." Hearing me say this, he nodded and retreated, and when I saw his navy blue eunuch suit drifting away, I calmed down and turned and walked in.

I feel a little desolate in my heart, I don't know if the rights have changed something, or if we have really grown up, Ziqing said something like that, which made my heart unable to let go for a long time.

went in and said that Huang Fuchen had ordered someone to pass the meal, so he went back to the Yilan Hall under the pretext of being unwell, I don't know what's wrong, I don't know how to face him anymore.

"Mother's ......"

"Master......"

"Master?"

Holding his head alone in a daze, the ease of being called by Sang Ma is still a little trance-like.

"What's wrong?"

Sang Ma looked at me, stopped talking, dragged the clothes in his hands and kept twisting, and did not speak.

I smiled, "But it doesn't matter, if you twist it any longer, this garment will be torn." ”

"Don't be angry when the master hears this." Sang Ma raised his head and looked at me, with some worry in his eyes.

This girl, what's wrong today, "Don't be angry, say it quickly, if you don't say it, I'm going to be angry." ”

Seeing me like this, Sang Ma straightened up, coughed lightly and said, "The third lady of the Prime Minister's family, Lu Wan entered the palace late and is having dinner with the emperor and queen in the Shengde Palace. ”

Miss Three? Prime Minister's house? Is it the third lady who married Ziqing five years ago? Did she enter the palace? Still accompany Huang Fuchen to dinner? Ziqing is also there, so is this a daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door to see her in-laws? Oh, that's great, as soon as I walk over there, we'll really get together.

I rubbed my temples, tightened the clothes on my body, how could the weather in early summer be a little cold, took a sip of hot tea and said to Sang Ma, "Pass the meal, I'm hungry." ”

Sang Ma showed a surprised expression, maybe he couldn't guess why I was so calm. But he was obedient and obedient, and went out to let them pass the meal.

I looked at the delicacies of the mountains and seas in front of me, Ruyi duck gizzard, hibiscus crushed white jade, milk Qinyi, Xue Mei Niang, all of which I like to eat, but I can't raise my appetite at all. The brains are all three misses, three misses, three misses.

"Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down." When Sang Ma said this, I was poking a piece of winter melon slices in the bowl, eager to poke it into winter melon puree.

"What did he come for, saying I was asleep." Keep poking.

The footsteps were getting closer, and I knew he was finally here. "Hahaha, when did Jiu'er develop the problem of sleeping while eating."

"Use you to control me? Don't go to accompany your third lady? I looked up at the jade-like man in front of me and gritted my teeth.

"Jiu'er, are you jealous?" He sat down next to me, snatched the chopsticks from my hand that were about to be broken by me, and said with a smile, "If I were this chopstick, I'm afraid it would have broken long ago." ”

"Master, Your Highness, the slave and maid have retired first." When Sang Ma saw him coaxing me, he relieved his heart and withdrew.

"Jiu'er, are you still angry with me?" He looked at me with a big smile on his face, but my heart was clouded.

I snatched my chopsticks back from his hand and snorted, "Isn't it that you're not familiar with me, what are you doing to snatch my chopsticks again?" ”

"So you care so much about my words. In the morning, I was afraid that my father would misunderstand and blame you, and you also know that my father's suspicions have become more and more serious in recent years. Ziqing touched my head, and her tone was full of helplessness as before.

Ziqing said how I don't know, I still remember last year, Xiang Concubine and the palace guards were reluctant, and they were caught by Huangfu Chen and were furious, from then on, as long as the harem concubines and men were a little closer, they were sentenced to death, which made the entire harem panic, and several palaces replaced the guards with palace maids in the execution room.

"I know you're doing it for my good, but ......" He thought about me so much that my temper softened.

"No, but that Miss Lu family was summoned by the queen mother, and I don't know. As soon as he arrived at the Hall of Virtue with his father, the queen mother was waiting with her brother and the third lady. Ziqing took my bowl, scooped a spoonful of Biluo soup with a spoon and handed it to me, "I know, if you don't explain clearly, how you are willing to eat well." ”

As soon as Ziqing said this, my tears were about to fall. In the past, he often asked me to eat together, but I was delayed by homework, I lost my temper and didn't eat, he knew that he was wrong, and always persuaded me to eat, and then after a long time, he developed such a problem, I didn't eat if I was not happy, and waited for him to coax me, just like a little girl in love, but I knew that we couldn't, but I couldn't control my heart.

"You're right, we have different identities." I chewed the food one bite at a time, like chewing wax.

He sighed and said softly, "Jiu'er, I promised to give you freedom, then you will no longer belong to your father, you are not the imperial concubine, how can we have different identities." ”

Not the imperial princess, what is that? I looked at him with some doubts, and he continued, "When the time comes, you will be deposed as a concubine in the name of the emperor, and then you will be given a new identity, and then you will be truly free." ”

Freely? A new identity? Can I really have what I desire? Can I really start a new life?

I finally stopped keeping a straight face and looked at him with a smile in my eyes, "Okay." Ziqing, don't forget, you said that when you reign in the world, I will be allowed to be free. ”
