Emperor Qingren came alone this time. There was no concubine Li with him, only a confidant eunuch.

Ming Yue just had an argument with him, and he looked at Emperor Qingren, and his attitude was a little yin and yang.

Reluctantly saluted, and stood still. Xia Qingtong had no choice but to be the one who broke the silence.

"Is there something wrong with my father coming over?"

"Nothing. I just heard that the osmanthus flowers in the East Palace are blooming well, so I came to take a look. ”

Xia Qingtong: ......

Hehe, isn't there any osmanthus in the Imperial Garden? But with a serious face, the osmanthus flowers in the East Palace are blooming quite well. Several laurel trees are one after another.

There are a few trees that are particularly strong, and the flowers are also very good, and they are still golden cinnamon. Not to mention anything else, now just standing in this courtyard, you can smell the fragrance of osmanthus coming from the other side of the courtyard wall.

It was still early, Xia Qingtong stood on the side: "Since that's the case, then my father's queen's court, please." ”

Emperor Qingren glanced at Ming Yue, didn't speak, and followed Xia Qingtong to the front.

Xia Qingtong glanced at Ming Yue with a somewhat complicated gaze, and motioned for him to follow with his eyes.

Ming Yue frowned slightly, but he didn't object, and walked beside Xia Qingtong.

Entering the inner courtyard, the fragrance of flowers is stronger. Xia Qingtong's favorite thing of the year is autumn.

Smelling this aroma, the whole person is relaxed. She couldn't help but glance at Ming Yue.

"You know what? Today, Cai Wei is making osmanthus cakes in the kitchen, not only osmanthus cakes, but also osmanthus noodles. I've eaten this osmanthus cake, but I haven't eaten osmanthus noodles. I'm going to have a good taste for a while. ”

Emperor Qingren, who was originally walking in front, paused in his footsteps, thinking of eating hot pot in Mingyue Mansion before.

"Osmanthus noodles? How? ”

Xia Qingtong was stunned for a moment: "The daughter-in-law doesn't know very well, if the father is interested, I will ask the maid to come over and ask." ”

"Yes."

Xia Qingtong: ...... I'm just saying it casually, you don't have to take it seriously.

[Hahahaha. The anchor is embarrassed online. 】

[Anchor, why do I think Huang Sang is deliberately looking for a sense of existence? 】

[Anchor, shouldn't you take Huang Sang to the kitchen now? ] 】

[Anchor, I think Huang Sang wants to stay and eat. 】

[Yes.] It feels like he's here to eat. 】

[Come to rub the rice and add the car. 】

Xia Qingtong: No, right?

She looked at the time, it was almost noon, and it was time for dinner.

Emperor Qingren has already walked under the osmanthus tree. He looked at the osmanthus with a somewhat complicated expression.

After a while, Xia Qingtong saw that Emperor Qingren had not made the next move, thinking about the barrage in the live broadcast room and saying that he was here to eat-

"Father, it's time for lunch. If my father doesn't mind, why don't we be together? It's also good to try the new osmanthus noodles made by the palace people today. ”

"Okay."

Emperor Qingren deserved it quickly, Xia Qingtong blinked.

I'm going, is it really here to eat?

…………

Because of the presence of Emperor Qingren, the lunch was more sumptuous than what they usually ate.

In addition to Ming Yue's taste, it is Emperor Qingren's favorite dish.

Xia Qingtong doesn't like the atmosphere of eating at separate tables, as long as she and Ming Yue are together, the two of them sit at a round table and eat together.

Emperor Qingren is here, and she doesn't plan to change it. The table is big enough anyway. It was enough for the three of them.

Motioned for Cai Wei to bring one of the bowls of noodles to Emperor Qingren.

"Father, this is osmanthus noodles. Before, the kitchen was boiled with broth, and osmanthus was added, which has the sweetness of the broth and the fragrance of osmanthus. Father Emperor tasted it. ”

"Yes."

Give Ming Yue the bowl, she did it herself. When he gave it to Ming Yue, he didn't forget to give Ming Yue a slap in the face. With his foot still under the table, he kicked him lightly.

Ming Yue's face was actually not that ugly. It's just expressionless.

Because of Xia Qingtong's actions, he finally showed a little smile.

After eating the first bite of osmanthus noodles, Xia Qingtong squinted his eyes quite satisfied.

"It smells so good. Ming Yue, this noodle really tastes like osmanthus. ”

Ming Yue liked to see her look satisfied, and the smile in her eyes deepened a little. From time to time, she gave Xia Qingtong cloth vegetables, and she reciprocated the peach and gave him vegetables.

Emperor Qingren looked at this little couple with such affection, and it has always been commensurate with you and me, and he didn't use honorifics, just like the most ordinary folk couple.

Looking at the osmanthus noodles in the bowl, his expression became more and more complicated.

After eating, Emperor Qingren left.

Xia Qingtong and Ming Yue glanced at each other, and they didn't understand what Emperor Qingren was doing.

The two of them couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, so they simply didn't want to.

Unexpectedly, in the following time, Emperor Qingren came to the East Palace from time to time for dinner.

The frequency was so high that Xia Qingtong thought that the cook in his palace was from the imperial dining room.

However, Emperor Qingren is not a picky eater, what does the cook of the East Palace, what he eats. Xia Qingtong always had new ideas, and Emperor Qingren seemed to be very happy.

He has come too many times, and it is impossible for him to have no communication with Ming Yue.

There are still many voices in the court that let Ming Yue set up side concubines, and many families, courtiers, and courtiers all let Ming Yue choose concubines to spread the leaves.

Yes, this is also the point that made Xia Qingtong criticized by the courtiers. After marrying into the East Palace for so long, there was no movement.

Some ministers even hinted that Xia Qingtong had a health problem, and asked Ming to accept a few side concubines.

Those voices, under Ming Yue's explicit prohibition, could not be transmitted to the East Palace.

However, the people who can't stand the Xia Mansion are actually a little anxious.

If Xia Qingtong is just an ordinary princess, then it doesn't matter if she has a child a few years later.

But now it has been seven or eight months since Xia Qingtong married into the palace, and there has been no movement at all.

Others didn't mention it, and Wei was angry when he heard the gossip outside. handed the sign into the palace and found Xia Qingtong.

At first, he was going to ask on the side, but when he found that Xia Qingtong didn't know anything about the turmoil outside, Wei was shocked.

There are so many palace people in the East Palace, so many people come and go, but there is no news that makes her daughter unhappy.

What does this mean?

Ming Yue's love for her daughter has exceeded her imagination. He really likes Xia Qingtong, and he really wants to live with Xia Qingtong for the rest of his life.

There will be no entanglement or hesitation because of the heir, or for any other reason.

Wei Shi, who realized this, looked at Xia Qingtong, who was very different from a few years ago and completely changed into a person, put down that heart, and left.

Regarding the rumors outside, Xia Qingtong really didn't know anything about it.

Emperor Qingren often came to eat, and after it became a habit, she didn't have anything to do with it.

The two fathers and sons often talk about government affairs and play chess together after dinner.

Every time this happens, Xia Qingtong will take the initiative to avoid it. Go back to her little study and read a book.

Kindness. There are too many folds and some documents in Ming Yue's study now, and she chooses not to go in order to avoid suspicion.

So after dinner, Emperor Qingren and Ming Yue played chess in their big study. Xia Qingtong was reading in his small study.

In addition to the previous travelogue of the border pass, she also found several books that Bai Panxue had read.

Without exception, annotations are made. And it's all very detailed.

From those annotations, Xia Qingtong can slowly restore Bai Panxue's true personality.

I can't believe that such a woman would really do anything to kill people.

After coming into contact with Emperor Qingren during this time, Xia Qingtong could feel that although this high-ranking monarch was a little arbitrary. But it's not like what Concubine Shu said.

She could even faintly feel that when Emperor Qingren got along with Ming Yue, there was a faint sense of guilt in her eyes.

That mind was very hidden, if it weren't for the fact that she could see Emperor Qingren almost every day during this time, Xia Qingtong would almost think that she was wrong.

It can be inferred that a problem can also be considered from another angle.

If Emperor Qingren felt guilty about Ming Yue, would this guilt be because of Bai Panxue's cause of death?

Can Makime really be that cruel?

Xia Qingtong didn't dare to think about it, closed the book in front of her, she was thinking about going to see if Ming Yue had finished playing chess with Emperor Qingren.

Outside, the red cherry blossom hurriedly walked in.

". His Majesty fainted. ”

"What did you say?"

Xia Qingtong stood up.

……

During this time, Emperor Qingren did not rush to leave after dinner every day, but played chess with Ming Yue.

Ming Yue's chess skills were instructed by Master Yiyan. And because of the reasons that are known to each other, he will never let Emperor Qingren play chess.

Emperor Qingren's chess skills are actually not bad, but his energy is focused on the court. Second, those who played chess with him did not dare to win him.

After a long time, his chess skills naturally cannot be compared with Ming Yue. And Ming Yue dares to win him, which is also an aspect.

On this day, the father and son were playing chess, and Mingyue's sunspots were already surrounded. It was difficult for Emperor Qingren's white son to break through.

He picked up a white piece and looked at the chessboard.

"The prince's chess skills are getting better and better. You're a killer move. ”

"Father is polite." Ming Yue disagreed: "Since it's a game of chess, naturally you have to do your best." Right? ”

"That's nature."

Emperor Qingren stared at the chess game for a long time, and was about to fall. There was a sudden throbbing pain in the heart.

The piece in his hand fell, and he fell forward.

Ming Yue's eyes widened, and he caught Emperor Qingren's body without thinking: "Father-"

……

The imperial doctor crowded the hall, and everyone had a dish on their faces.

Emperor Qingren's eyes were closed, and he lay unconscious on the dragon couch. Xia Qingtong stood beside Ming Yue and held his hand tightly.

"Father will be fine. Don't worry too much. ”

During this time, probably because of the relationship between Emperor Qingren and Ming Yue, the relationship between Emperor Qingren and Ming Yue eased a lot.

Even if Ming Yue said it before, it doesn't matter anymore. In fact, deep down, he was very eager to be recognized by Emperor Qingren.

During this time of getting along, she only knew by looking at Ming Yue that he still admired Emperor Qingren.

Even if he doesn't mention it, just look at him getting closer to Emperor Qingren.

"Imperial Doctor Sun, how is my father?"

Doctor Sun, who is the leader, is still the one who came to the palace to treat Ming Yue before.

Since Ming Yuan was disposed of, Imperial Physician Sun began to tremble when he saw Ming Yue, and he was so frightened that he couldn't do it.

This will be named by Ming Yue, and his face is a little pale and he walks over.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty is poisoned."

"What did you say?"
