Chapter Forty-Six: Entering the Ownership of Hongyi
Your Majesty asked the eunuch to try the dishes down, and there were only two people in the Hongyi Palace, me and him.
I knew it was for me to try the dishes for him.
I picked up the bone chopsticks, "This?" β
He nodded slightly.
I took a bite, and he followed with a little chopstick.
"That." He pointed to a plate of fish.
I picked up a piece slightly from the fishtail.
"What can you try out with that?" He asked me.
I picked up a large piece in the bowl and said angrily, "That's all right, right?" β
I don't know if he's full, but anyway, when I try the food to the back, I'll hold it up.
"Which dish is the most appetizing?" He asked me.
"Uh-huhβchestnut pear soup."
I asked him, "Does Your Majesty still use it?" β
"No, I can't eat anymore." He said.
This sentence flashed through my mind, and I seemed to have said to someone, "No, I can't eat it." β
There was a man who picked up meat from the pot and kept coaxing me to eat it, as if it were on the grassland, but I couldn't remember this person.
"What are you thinking?"
"No, I just think Your Majesty eats too little."
As soon as he raised his hand, he was about to say something to me, when the spoon in my hand slipped down, and I reached out and scooped it up and put it in its place.
"You're good at kung fu." He said.
"It's just that I can still protect myself, and I can't defeat Your Majesty by half a point." I laughed.
"It's better than me, I don't know how to do any kung fu."
"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment, didn't they all say that Yuwen Zhonghong had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and his martial arts were world-famous? Could it be another rumor?
"Your Majesty doesn't know kung fu, how did you lead the troops to fight?"
"Who said I was going to fight?"
"That ......"
"It's just that I'm familiar with a few military books, know some martial arts, and talk about military tricks on paper."
It seems that such a thin person can only pick up a pen, and he can't even touch the edge of a spear.
"Are you listening to rumors from outside about me?"
I was worried about messing with him, so I shook my head and said, "It's just my own nonsense." β
He laughed and said, "These people are so hateful that they call me like evil spirits, and I have to punish them severely." β
While we were talking, someone outside said that Master Yu asked to see us.
For some reason, my heart twitched, and I swept a pair of ivory chopsticks off with a crisp sound.
He looked at me, "Do you want to see him?" β
He asked me if I wanted to see him, and I smiled and said, "Since Your Majesty has something to discuss with Master Yu, then the maid will retire first." β
With that, I withdrew from the temple, and at the last moment he entered the temple I saw the man.
The eyebrows and eyes are really unmatched.
Master Yushi, who is in power, is actually a wonderful person who is even more amazing than a woman.
I didn't dare to look him in the eye, just hurriedly retreated.
Passed by him.
He turned to look at me, and that sharp gaze made me feel like a man's back.
When they saw this, it was only in the evening that the rain master sang and left the Hongyi Palace.
I was entering through the door, and the rain master was about to come out with a song, when we met, suddenly a person came from behind.
The palm of his hand was patted, and he said with a smile: "The great hero has returned triumphantly, and the palace has not yet said a word of congratulations." β
When I looked back, it wasn't someone else, it was the queen's mother.
They didn't care about me and talked to each other.
The queen said: "Master Yu is proud now, in front of Your Majesty, the limelight is overwhelming me." Where are you going? β
Master Yushi didn't ask Niangniang for a comfort, and said directly: "I rushed all the way to Liangzhu, and I had both wind and dust, so as not to disturb Niangniang's Fengjia." β
When they talked together, they were intimate, and I heard others say that Master Yu and the queen have known each other for many years.
Niangniang said: "What does it look like to talk here." β
I stood for a long time, and I was about to salute my mother, but she waved her hand slightly and excused me.
"I've been here for a long time, but I haven't seen Chun'er." The rain master said with a song.
"Her girl, you know, has a wild temper, where is she willing to stay with me in the Jiaofang Hall all day long."
Niangniang said that she was out of the palace to play, and the two walked out while talking.
I was stunned for a moment. Return to the temple.
I saw His Majesty sitting on the side, talking to himself.
I asked for another night and said hello.
He took my wrist to the edge of the sand table, talked about some clever tactics with troops, and pointed to the position of Northern Qi on the sand table, and asked me after a while if it was good to take down all the seven kingdoms.
I didn't understand what he meant, so I followed him in everything, "Your Majesty wants to be the king of the world, why not?" β
He looked at me, "Will you be by my side and watch me become the only king of the Seven Kingdoms?" β
I was stunned for a moment, "Do you have to fight to be king?" β
He did not answer me.
I muttered to myself, "That's going to kill a lot of people, isn't it?" β
Seeing that he didn't answer my question, I sat on the side and watched him paddle the terrain on the sand table.
He took a thin bamboo pole and slowly sketched it on the sand.
I looked at his side face and asked, "Why does Your Majesty want to be the only king?" β
He lifted his eyes and said, "When I was a child, my mother asked me to promise her that when I grew up, I would take all the mountains and rivers of the Seven Kingdoms into the Yuwen clan. I thought of his mother's face, which must have been a cold beauty, "Why did your mother let you do such a thing?" β
"She just said, this is what I deserved. It's just that she died early and can't see that day. You can watch it with me, okay? β
Before I could answer, he whispered, "You will, you have to see it, and you have to watch it if you don't see it." β
I find it strange that Your Majesty always says things I don't understand.
After a pause, he said, "It's late at night, Your Majesty is going to rest, and the maid should go." β
With that, I bowed.
He was busy tugging at me, "Where to go?" β
"Go back to the Qinghe Palace."
"Mama didn't tell you that you will live outside the Hongyi Hall in the future?"
I really don't know, "You want me to live here?" β
I suddenly felt a chill all over my body, and hurriedly knelt down, "The servant is blessed, and I can't stand the grace of Your Majesty." β
"What do you want......" he nudged my forehead.
"It's hot in the summer, and the people who wait for the ice fan are not good at hands and feet, I see that you are dexterous, and you are waiting to fan the wind left and right at night."
I let my guard down, "Then Your Majesty wants to wash at this time?" β
He nodded, and left the Hongyi Hall under the service of several eunuchs.
I don't know what to do at this moment, so I looked at the mirror of the Hongyi Hall and looked carefully by the croissant comb.
How can His Majesty's Hongyi Hall be arranged like a woman's bedroom?
After straightening His Majesty's clothes, I waited for a while, and the strange fragrance burning in the hall made my mind dizzy.
Is this ambergris? It's different from the incense in the Qinghe Palace, so fragrant that I can't see things clearly in front of my eyes.
I lay at the table and was a little flustered, thinking that I must have been sleepy during the day, and I was a little drowsy at this time.
Soon after seeing His Majesty's return, I was dizzy, and he told me that if I was sleepy, I could take a nap and fan again.
He slept with his back to me, and I was about to tell him that I seemed to be suffering from heat and weak.
The intensity of the aroma made my eyelids heavy.
