Ying Zhan stepped on the eunuch's back and got off the dragon chariot and helped Shangguan Ling'er up.

When he helped the other party up, he felt the coldness of the woman's hands, and couldn't help but say, "With such a heavy snowfall, you have been waiting for me here?" ”

When the emperor said this, even Li Zhong was surprised.

Under normal circumstances, the emperor turned over whose brand, and the Shang Sleep Bureau would notify the concubines in advance to hold the lamp.

But the concubines mostly let the servants guard the door in advance, and when they saw the emperor from a distance, they let the concubines wait at the door.

Especially in this winter, if you stand outside for a long time, it will be extremely cold.

In addition, the emperor doesn't have an accurate time, and no one will be stupid enough to stand at the door and wait.

Concubine Zhen slowly got up, watched as the emperor held her hands, and then looked up into the man's eyes.

"Brother Zhan turned over my sign for the first time, so I naturally have to wait early." Concubine Zhen smiled so hard that her eyes were bent like crescent moons.

As soon as the words came out, she changed her words: "No, it should be that as long as you can see Brother Zhan earlier, Ling'er is willing to wait so early every time." ”

Hearing this, Ying Zhan's eyes turned slightly.

He lifted the cloak he was wearing, took the woman in his arms, and walked towards the courtyard with his feet raised, "Today I am busy reviewing official documents, and it is too late. ”

"I don't blame you, you are the king of a country, so naturally you are busy with everything." Shangguan Ling'er enjoyed the man's warm embrace very much, so she leaned on the man's arms, and gently grabbed the clothes around the man's waist with one hand.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Ying Zhan smelled the fragrance of food.

Shangguan Ling'er also smelled the aroma of food.

Something suddenly occurred to her, "That's right! I boiled the mutton soup and started simmering it before dark, which should be ready to drink. ”

With that, she took the emperor to the kitchen.

Once there, she first lifted the lid of the casserole.

Suddenly, the aroma of mutton came to the nostrils along the hot air.

The soup was as white as milk, and it was steaming hot.

Then, she scooped some of the soup with a long porcelain spoon and blew it gently.

After the soup in the spoon was cold, she handed it to the emperor's lips, "Brother Zhan, you can taste it and see if the saltiness suits your taste?" I'd like to tune it up to your taste. ”

Ying Zhan lowered his eyes and looked at the soup in the spoon, lowered his head and took a sip, and then nodded: "The taste is right." ”

"It's just right." As soon as she heard that the taste was suitable, Shangguan Ling'er smiled happily, "I remember that you liked to eat salty food back then." ”

Ying Zhan: "It's not that I like to eat, it's just that I had to practice martial arts at that time, and I had to sweat a lot every day, and I didn't have the strength to eat a little salty." ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Ling'er nodded suddenly in realization, "I remember!" ”

She set the porcelain spoon aside and sprinkled the soup with goji berries and chopped green onions.

Shangguan Ling'er instructed the palace maid to bring the soup to the table in the hall, and then said to the emperor: "Brother Zhan, you go and sit in the hall first, I have to fry two more dishes, and it will be ready soon." ”

Ying Zhan tugged at her lips, as if she wanted to say something.

But in the end, he just made a faint "um", turned around and went to the hall.

Since those ingredients had already been prepared, after only a stick of incense, Shangguan Ling'er came up with a stack of braised fish.

She was followed by a palace maid, who held a stack of boiled greens in her hand.

After the meal was put on the table, Shangguan Ling'er took off the apron around her waist and sat at the dining table face to face with the emperor. 51

Ying Zhan stared at the three meals on the table and was silent.

Shangguan Ling'er thought that he thought that these meals were too little.

After all, as an emperor, at least ten meals start.

She said: "That's the case, I want to say that let's just eat two, avoid unnecessary extravagance and waste, there are meat, vegetarian and soup, just right, and such home-cooked food has a homely atmosphere, warm." ”

"That's not what I meant." Ying Zhan looked at Shangguan Ling'er, "Ling'er, in fact, you don't have to do everything yourself, like these things, you can leave them to the slaves to do." ”

Shangguan Ling'er: "I know, it's just that when I was in Nanyuan Kingdom before, I often cooked by myself, and I am willing to do this for you." ”

Ying Zhan: "......"

Shangguan Ling'er: "Brother Zhan, do you know, I have always wanted to have a home, and you are the master of my family, I hope to wait for you to come back every day, cook for you, bathe you, and serve you to the court." ”

"Fortunately, I haven't given up for so many years, and now when you appear in my world again, then, I will naturally achieve it little by little."

Ying Zhan wanted to speak and stopped, "But you must know that I am the emperor, I can't come to you every day, and the country is my home." ”

"I know all of that." Shangguan Ling'er said with a smile: "Actually, I don't want to be a concubine, and I don't need a prosperous and rich life, I just want to be your woman, if I can be the only one, it would be better, even if I can't, it doesn't matter, as long as you can come to me occasionally, I will be satisfied." ”

Although she had a smile on her face, there was a trace of bitterness in her eyes.

Ying Zhan: "......"

Shangguan Ling'er: "Before in the Nanyuan Kingdom, I knew that it was my fault, I didn't recognize the family feud and national hatred between the Northern Linguo and the Nanyuan Kingdom, and I couldn't accept the reality of losing my father and grandmother." Now that I think clearly, you are only acting from the perspective of the monarch of the northern bordering country. ”

She raised her eyes and looked at the man with bright eyes, "Brother Zhan, I have nothing, and you are the only person I am close to in this world." ”

Hearing these words, Ying Zhan's eyes dimmed slightly, and he only said in a low voice: "The food is going to be cold, so let's eat." ”

Shangguan Ling'er paused slightly, finally nodded, and responded with a "good".

Immediately after, Ying Zhan and Shangguan Ling'er began to have dinner.

During the meal, Shangguan Ling'er had a sweet smile on her face, and looked up at the man opposite from time to time.

There are memories of the past, warmth and happiness in the moment, and a vision for the future.

Li Zhong stood aside to serve soup and rice to the two masters.

Looking at His Majesty the Emperor's appetite, Li Zhong felt relieved.

As the emperor's personal manager, he is the emperor's main manager in everything, as long as the emperor is happy, he will be happy.

As for who made the emperor happy, it has nothing to do with him.

In Li Zhong's opinion, Concubine Zhen is full of only the emperor.

She may be cold and independent in front of others.

But in front of the emperor, she is a good wife and mother.

The key is that when a young, beautiful, rebellious, fearless, and confident woman like Concubine Zhen is only virtuous and virtuous for the emperor, this will greatly satisfy a man's desire to conquer.

What man doesn't love such a woman?

What's more, Concubine Zhen is a childhood sweetheart who grew up with the emperor, and she knows her roots.

Why are childhood sweethearts the most memorable? It's because the feelings when I was a child were the most genuine, without a trace of impurities.

Especially at that time, the emperor was only a proton in the Nanyuan Kingdom, but Concubine Zhen was the daughter of the Nanyuan Emperor's favorite concubine, the most favored palm pearl of the Nanyuan Emperor, and the princess of the Nanyuan Kingdom!
