The minions in the kitchenette have already laid out all the meals on the table.

Tan Yan and Xin Tong wiped the water on their hands and sat down at the dining table.

He sat in the main seat.

Xin Tong sat to her right.

On the table, there are pan-fried steaks, spicy cumin roasted pig's trotters, seafood vermicelli pot, radish and pork rib soup and other meals.

It's just that, in order to avoid waste, those meals are all small portions, just enough for their mother and daughter.

Just as the mother and daughter were about to enjoy their meal, the light at the door dimmed.

When Qian Yan and Xin Tong looked up, they saw the emperor raising his feet and entering the house.

Seeing this, the mother and daughter stood up and saluted, "The emperor bows to him, and his father is the emperor." ”

"Let's go!" Ying Zhan waved his palm, walked to the main seat and sat down, he looked at the table of meals, and said familiarly: "It just so happens that I haven't had dinner today." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine didn't know that you would come today, so the small kitchen didn't prepare your meal." ”

The underlying meaning of this is "you are not welcome here".

If Xin Tong hadn't been here, she might have said it more bluntly.

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhong couldn't help but flatten his mouth.

The concubines next to them wished that the emperor would go to them for dinner, and it was best to stay together at night.

This is a good concubine, the emperor is here, she still dares not to see the emperor?

Although Concubine Ke has a unique personality over the years, she will not be so easy.

Unless someone cuts off her beard, she'll be like this.

Thinking of this, Li Zhong seemed to understand.

Didn't Concubine Zhen cut off her beard last time and made this person angry?

Well, that's definitely the case!

The concubine has a character, but the emperor is not a vegetarian, he is a violent temper!

"Mother, it's okay, it's a big deal, I'll eat less." At this awkward moment, Xin Tong on the side said: "Don't you know, I envy other people's families for eating as a family, Ning Yun told me that their families sit together every time they eat." ”

The little girl is a few years older, and although her face is still baby fat, it is not so round.

The skin is like a face, white and clean, with a pair of bright big eyes, revealing a bit of cleverness.

When Ying Zhan heard this, she sat there even more naturally.

Xin Tong said so, and it was not easy to say anything.

Ning Yun is the daughter of Prince Mu, although she is a generation behind Xin Tong, but she is of the same age, and she is learning the rules and female red in Qinsizhai, so it can be said that she grew up together.

Immediately after, she added a few more dishes to the kitchen.

In this way, Aunt Qin and the others naturally added dishes and chopsticks to the emperor.

The emperor sat in the position of Tan Yan, and Tan Yan had to sit face to face with Xin Tong.

During the whole meal, the family of three did not say a word except for the meal.

Just this embarrassing and suffocating aura, Xin Tong felt it.

When the little girl lowered her head and quickly picked up the rice, she secretly glanced at her parents and swallowed the last bite of rice.

After a while, Xin Tong put down the dishes and chopsticks and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.

Xin Tong used to love to stick to his face.

But at this moment, she actually took the initiative to say: "Father, mother, I'm full, so I'll go back to the side courtyard first, and you eat slowly." ”

Because she felt that the relationship between her father and mother was a little estranged.

In the past, even if she didn't talk much during the meal, her mother would serve food to her father.

Occasionally, my father would say something.

But just now, the two of them didn't say a word, and their mother didn't give their father vegetables.

Moreover, she also heard recently that her father favored Concubine Zhen, who had just entered the palace.

As a child, no matter what, she hopes that her parents can get along well.

Facing Xin Tong, who took the initiative to leave, Ying Zhan said lightly, "It's so good to rest, you still have to go to Qinsizhai tomorrow morning." ”

However, Qian Yan grabbed Xin Tong, "Didn't you say that you were going to sleep with your mother tonight?" ”

Xin Tong paused slightly, so he had to sit motionless on the spring bench.

She did say such things today, but she said it when her father was not there.

Now that her father is here, how can she break up her father and mother?

Xin Tong looked up at the emperor, and then looked up again.

When she found that her father and mother were looking at her with serious faces, she didn't know who to help for a while.

In her opinion, her father and mother treated her very well, and she did not want to hurt either party.

Although it is said that this palace is big with her father, she is closer to her mother.

For a moment, the whole hall suddenly became quiet, and the air seemed to freeze.

Ying Zhan saw that Xin Tong didn't speak for a long time, but he didn't force Xin Tong.

He just got up and said lightly: "Since Concubine Ai and the eldest princess have agreed in advance, then you should rest early." ”

After speaking, the man took Li Zhong and the others and left the Xiyan Palace.

In terms of etiquette, Yan Yan still led Xin Tong to see the emperor out of the Xiyan Palace.

When the man's dragon chariot disappeared at the end of the corridor, he turned around and went back to the courtyard.

The emperor's rain and dew are all stained with rain and dew, but don't call her to come and go, let people cut off her beard casually.

Otherwise, even if he is the emperor, she will not be stingy.

Unless someone in the harem is seriously ill, or pregnant with a dragon fetus, even if they are cut off, it doesn't matter.

However, the last time Concubine Zhen cut off her beard, it was obviously deliberate.

Over the years, the emperor should have understood her character.

So in the past few years, few people have dared to intercept her beard, and the emperor will not be intercepted by them, because he knows her temperament and bottom line.

But that day in the Longxuan Palace, he didn't care about having an appointment with her in advance, and when he saw Concubine Zhen, he couldn't walk, and when he sent her away, he should have thought that she would send him away today.

On the same day, after the emperor left the Xiyan Palace, he did not stop in the harem and returned directly to the Longxuan Palace.

A few days later, when Qian Yan had just finished dinner and was wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, Xiao Guizi entered the house.

I only heard Xiao Guizi say: "Niangniang, the emperor summoned Concubine Zhen tonight." ”

"Got it." Qian Yan turned his head to Xiaolian and said, "Xiaolian, you and Aunt Qin prepare water, and the palace will take a bath." ”

After touching for about half an hour, she bathed in incense, put on elegant makeup, put on a lotus-colored skirt, and criticized the snow batch that the emperor gave her back then.

Then, she took the chariot to the Longxuan Palace.

When he arrived at the Longxuan Palace, he saw Concubine Zhen's chariot also stopped outside.

The slave waiting at the door saw Tianyan and hurriedly saluted, "Tianfei Niangniang Wan'an." ”

"Let's all get up." Qian Yan casually raised his hand.

Aunt Qin on the side said for her: "My mother-in-law has an important matter to discuss with the emperor, and I ask you to help spread the word." ”

The little eunuch at the door answered "yes" and went in to pass the word.

After a while, the little eunuch came out and said to Qian Yan: "Tilt the noble concubine, the emperor is in the study, he let you in." ”

So, Qian Yan took Aunt Qin's hand and entered the study in the apse.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw the emperor sitting in front of the bookcase.

Concubine Zhen was dressed in her usual red dress and sat beside the man grinding elegantly.

Seeing that Tilt Yan was coming, she saluted Tilt Yan and then sat down to grind again.

Qian Yan helped Aunt Qin to walk to the bookcase: "The concubine has seen the emperor, and the emperor is Sheng'an." ”

Hearing the salute, Ying Zhan didn't even raise his head, "Say, what's the matter with me?" ”

Qian Yan got up and replied: "The concubine has some things about the Tilting Medical Pavilion and wants to discuss it with the emperor." ”

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Zhen, who was grinding, said with a smile: "What kind of big thing happened to the Tilting Medical Pavilion, so that my sister had to come to the emperor at night?" ”

"I'm just going to ask my sister about this." With a smile on her face, she turned her head to look at Concubine Zhen, a little innocent, "When the emperor summoned me to the Longxuan Palace last time, didn't you also talk to the emperor at night?" ”
