Chapter 10: Dining alone with the emperor
Before dinner, He Jiusheng asked Jing's mother to inform the kitchen to add more dishes, and when it was time to eat, a plate of braised pork trotters came up.
When she was just about to feast, someone outside suddenly ran in to spread the word, saying that the emperor was coming, and He Jiusheng's chopsticks were so frightened that he didn't hold them steady.
Wrong! What is she panicking about?
She is an outstanding young woman in modern times, will she still be afraid of an ancient monarch?
That being said, she walked to the door tremblingly.
I'm afraid that she is not in modern times, but in ancient times, a feudal society, a feudal society like this, the emperor is the boss, if a person accidentally does something unseemly, it will really lose his head!
The so-called companion is like a companion tiger, she and the emperor are only one side in the end, and they don't know what kind of person this Song Qianheng is.
In the past, He Jiusheng was a big lady who was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she could cope with Song Qianheng, and now the time-traveling version of He Jiusheng is a rough person who regards money as everything, but she may not be able to cope with it.
So when she entered the palace and when she came into contact with these royal people, she was full of energy, for fear that she would say something wrong.
"Sheng'er, I said earlier, you and I don't have to be polite!" As soon as Song Qianheng entered the door, he came to help He Jiusheng, who was kneeling by the door.
"Your Majesty."
"Ah, it's eating! What a coincidence that I'm here! Song Qianheng didn't shy away from it at all, grabbed her arm and walked to the dining table, "Come, Sheng'er, I'll accompany you to dinner." ”
He Jiusheng looked at the man in the dragon robe with some surprise, is this emperor more close to the people or is it really related to the previous He Jiusheng? She's a little confused.
The two sat down at the table, and He Jiusheng picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of pig's trotter into his bowl.
"Sheng'er, why do you love to eat pig's trotters? Didn't you dislike these meaty things in the past? ”
He Jiusheng was afraid that what he did was wrong would make Song Qianheng suspicious, so he hurriedly looked at him, only to see him with a wicked smile on his face, "Is it that when you were sick, you couldn't get any oil, and now you suddenly want to eat it?" ”
That bad smiling face, even the two thick eyebrows bent into gentle ripples, and the thick red lips also made a dazzling smile.
"I know, you probably couldn't touch these things when you were sick, and you used to rarely eat them, but after a long time, you thought about it. I didn't like to eat Luosu before, I only liked meat, but some time ago, I liked the cold salad Luosu made in Lin Zhaoyi's small kitchen, and I couldn't wait to eat it every day! When you enter the palace another day, I will also ask Lin Zhaoyi to send you a plate! ”
He Jiusheng listened to his lengthy words, which simply subverted his previous perception of the emperor.
It seems that this He Jiusheng is really familiar with Song Qianheng.
So she replied to his words, "Yes, I couldn't even see the shadow of flesh when I was sick before, and I missed it a little over time." ”
"Very good, Sheng'er, you are so thin, you should eat more meat, I'll pick the bones for you." As he spoke, the king of this country really rolled up the wide sleeves of his dragon robe and slowly removed the meat from the pig's trotters with chopsticks.
He Jiusheng's heart also turned out layer after layer of doubts at this time.
Did the blood book he handed to the strange man in Hefu really not reach the emperor?
What a liar is that man? If he was a liar, why could he still be released so quickly, and the Queen Mother seemed to know something about her own affairs?
Thinking about it this way, in addition to Song Qianheng's doubts, only the Queen Mother was calm and calm, and she didn't ask if her face was injured.
And Song Yanjiao also asked her how the scars on her face were that night, how did he know? Today, I even sent her a bottle of ointment.
In contrast, her childhood playmate, Song Qianheng, seemed to think that she was just sick and knew nothing about what happened to her.
He Jiusheng pondered for a long time, but still had no clue.
Seeing Song Qianheng picking bones for himself, He Jiusheng was really a little moved, and the smile on his face just now was also clear and simple, without a trace of impurities.
This is her husband in ancient times, the person who has accompanied her all her life, thinking that he is so attentive to herself, He Jiusheng is really happy in his heart.
Anyone who has watched the palace fight drama knows that the concubine who is loved by the emperor will not end up too miserable, He Jiusheng is also a courageous person, if she encounters a concubine who is not a good stubble, she wants to be able to deal with it wittily, but it is better to be careful after all.
The road to the deep palace is long and long......
"Ticked!" Song Qianheng picked out the bones in the bowl one by one and pushed them to He Jiusheng.
"Sheng'er, you know what? In fact, when I was a child, I hoped that in the future, whether it was to be a prince or ascend to the throne, I hoped to be with you. It's just a pity that my father has already made me a queen when he was alive, otherwise, I really want to marry you as a queen......"
He Jiusheng chewed on the pig's trotters and said, "Are you explaining to me?" ”
Song Qianheng pursed his lips a little embarrassedly, "Aren't I afraid that you will add a lot of thoughts for no reason?" When you were a child, you were always more distracted than others, and you misunderstood what you saw through, and you were stuffy in your heart, and sometimes even I couldn't see through you! ”
He Jiusheng swallowed the greasy pig's trotters, thinking that He Jiusheng turned out to be a quiet and gentle "Sister Lin" before, with a delicate mind and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I'm not on the same channel as her!
Fortunately, the ancients around him probably couldn't have imagined that this "Sister Lin" had already been replaced by a female man thousands of years later.
However, tonight was also the first time since He Jiusheng's quality of life improved that she did not burp after eating, and she endured only eating some vegetables in the later stage, and she didn't dare to touch the plate of pig's trotters again, for fear that eating too much would arouse Song Qianheng's suspicions.
After eating, he still refused to leave, and kept excitedly telling her some stories about fishing and catching birds and reading together when he was a child, and He Jiusheng really had a headache when he listened.
The two walked to the garden at the foot of the back mountain, if others only saw the back, there was a sense of poetry, a goose yellow gold-rimmed robe was taken off by the emperor to put on the blue-clothed girl who was a head shorter than her, the two interacted with each other quite intimately, like the husband and wife of Qin Se and Ming, which attracted the envy of the eunuchs and palace maids who accompanied behind.
"I heard that this girl has been a childhood sweetheart with the saint since she was a child, and the two have no guesses."
"Otherwise, why would you go out of the palace to come to this villa?"
"This girl is really a blessing, the Queen Mother made a decree, saying that she would be accepted into the palace next month and canonized as a concubine!"
"Canonized as soon as you come up? Good guy, what's the way? ”
"She is the daughter of Lord He, the prefect of the capital!"
"Which lady of the first-grade official family should I be, isn't the prefect only a third-grade?"
"The Queen Mother loves, what can be done, the Queen Mother is her aunt and grandmother!"
He Jiusheng naturally didn't hear these gossips, and Song Qianheng next to him was still talking, "...... The time you fell off my horse, you pointed at me and laughed, saying that I was a man who couldn't even get on the horse, and that I was far worse than you. I like the cute look I saw when I was a child, you dare to say anything and do anything. It's just that after your mother passed away, they all said that you have grown up and become sensible, and I see that you talk less and less, and you love to read and write in your room all day long and don't say a word to anyone, you hold everything in your heart, and you don't say anything uncomfortable, but the more you are like this, the more I want to protect you......"
There was infinite warmth in his affectionate eyes, which made He Jiusheng a little overwhelmed.
"The emperor is the king of a country, the emperor is the emperor of the world, and he protects all the people of the world, and the little girl is really afraid." He Jiusheng himself felt that he was completely unappreciative of saying this, but he always felt a thorn in his heart.
Especially when Song Qianheng continued to tell the story of the two when they were children, she wanted to throw a question to him: he wanted to protect He Jiusheng, said he liked her, and said that he wanted to marry her as a queen, but when He Jiusheng was tortured by the He family for so many years, where was his childhood sweetheart?
