If there is a different person, Luo Qingluan will definitely turn around and leave, without giving any face. If it weren't for the fact that he was still thinking about Nalan Ye's affairs and hadn't received a reply from Nangong Qing, Luo Qingluan wouldn't want to stay for another quarter of an hour.

Luo Qingluan didn't want to worry Nalan Ye because she secretly ran away at that time, and she didn't want to be really punished, so she hoped to get Nangong Qing's permission, by the way...... She should also explain it clearly to Nangong Qing.

If it doesn't work once, twice, she has to tell him who he really cares about.

"Okay, I'll disturb Your Majesty." As soon as Luo Qingluan said it, Nangong Qing was immediately overjoyed, but she said again: "Then I'll go to the queen mother first, and tell her that Your Majesty will come to the Tassel Palace for dinner at noon, and let the mother prepare it." ”

"Princess Chu......" Nangong Qing really wanted to say no, he just wanted to eat with her, and he didn't want to have others, but he couldn't say this after all. Su Yi is his queen and the woman he married willingly, he understands Luo Qingluan's meaning, and he can't refuse.

"Okay, you go to the Tassel Palace to accompany the queen first, and I will change into a set of civilian clothes and come back." Nangong Qing nodded, and Junyi's face was gloomy and lost.

When Luo Qingluan returned to the Tassel Palace, Su Yi was surprised how she went and returned, only to know that the palace people had dug up the lotus root, and Nangong Qing wanted to invite her to eat the vegetables that were fresh at this time.

Immediately became happy, it is rare to have someone to accompany you at noon, and there is Your Majesty, Su Yi smiled and said: "That's good, it just so happens that I don't know what to eat at noon, I feel that I have no appetite, Qingluan, when you say this, I feel a little hungry." ”

"The lotus root of this meeting has just been dug up, I look at it with mud, it is very fresh, Niangniang will eat more, but don't live up to Your Majesty's heart."

Luo Qingluan naturally didn't say anything about what happened just now, only said that she wanted to try it, so Nangong Qing left her to eat. Su Yi didn't doubt her, and pulled Luo Qingluan to sit down and talk, Luo Qingluan casually told her some common sense of autumn nourishment, what are the effects of eating lotus root, etc., Su Yi nodded and secretly remembered, and almost let the palace maid take notes.

"By the way, when you met Your Majesty, did you tell him about it?" Su Yi remembered and asked her.

"I said it, but Your Majesty didn't say it was good, and I didn't say it was bad." Luo Qingluan was embarrassed by this matter: "Wait for Your Majesty to come, how about Niangniang tell me good things?" Your Majesty will definitely give you face. ”

A little happy in her heart, Su Yi agreed: "Don't worry, I'll mention it when we eat, I hope Your Majesty will agree as soon as he is happy." But Qingluan, do you want to stop thinking about this? I know that you are smart and capable, far better than ordinary women, and even I can't compare to you in many things, but ......"

As soon as he said this, Nangong Qing's hearty voice came from outside: "What will the queen say again?" It's no one else, so I'll hear it too. ”

"Your Majesty is here." Su Yi was overjoyed, and she didn't care about speaking, so she stood up and greeted her.

Luo Qingluan also got up and gave a shallow salute: "Your Majesty is here." ”

Looking up, Nangong Qing changed out of his court clothes and wore a sky blue civilian dress, with a circle of white background silver thread embroidered moire pattern trim on the sleeves and hem, and a green jade belt around his waist, revealing his slender and straight figure even taller. The jade crown tied his hair, he was even more handsome, with a faint smile on his lips, and the domineering spirit of the true dragon of the Son of Heaven was reduced a little, and he looked like a young man in the turbid world.

Su Yi's eyes were full of admiration, and she stepped forward to salute, Nangong Qing naturally helped her up, took her hand and sat down, and greeted Luo Qingluan casually. In front of Su Yi, Nangong Qing's inadvertent emotional leakage just now was well controlled, and he couldn't see anything at all.

Luo Qingluan was a little relieved at this time, and chatted with the emperor and queen casually, but he didn't say anything about going out with the army. Nangong Qing carefully asked Su Yi if she slept well last night, what she ate in the morning, whether she was full, and said that she had lost a few points and would eat more later. In front of Luo Qingluan, Su Yi blushed with shame, but she couldn't control her joy, looking shy and happy.

How nice it would be if it had always been like this...... Luo Qingluan sighed.

She could see that Su Yi's heart was tied to Nangong Qing, worried about him and sad for him. When Su Yi saw her just now, there was still some loneliness in her tone, but now that she saw Nangong Qing, she forgot any dissatisfaction and disappointment.

Nangong Qing had almost completely controlled Su Yi's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, just as Luo Qingluan would also be concerned about Nalan Ye's every move. It's just that...... Su Yi loves Nangong Qing deeply, but Nangong Qing is only afraid but not, even if he wants to, he can't do it. He is the emperor, even if he eliminates the little affection he put on Luo Qingluan, there will be other concubines who will take away his attention to Su Yi in the future.

And Nalan Ye is different, Luo Qingluan knows that he will never marry a side concubine again in his life, he only loves her alone, and she is the same. She is willing to give everything for Nalan Ye, and Nalan Ye is the same, this is the happiness she wants.

Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, and Luo Qingluan is not reluctant. No matter who Nangong Qing likes, as long as he doesn't like her.

She didn't want this friendship to deteriorate, if it became like Bai Yixuan to Lin Yixuan, it would not be what she wanted to see.

Nangong Qing wanted to accompany the queen to dine in the Tassel Palace, accompanied by the princess of Chu, and the imperial dining room quickly prepared the meals and presented them one by one. Eight meat and eight vegetables, plus two soups, one salty and one sweet, and a plate of fresh fruits after meals, everything is available, and a table is full.

usually eats in the Chu Palace, Luo Qingluan is with Nalan Ye, and the two of them have never eaten so much, not because they can't afford to eat and are afraid of waste, but there is no need at all. Many dishes can't be eaten in one meal, and the second meal is not delicious, which is what Nangong Qing deliberately prepared in the palace in order to keep Luo Qingluan to eat, and she didn't need to say anything.

All the palace people who were waiting for them retreated, and there were no extra people watching, and the three of them spoke casually.

"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, this is the second time that you have had lunch with your courtiers and concubines." Su Yi was happy and emotional, "It's rare to have Qingluan here today, but you have to eat more." ”

"Queen, I have just ascended the throne, I am a little busy, and I will accompany you more in the future." Nangong Qing was a little embarrassed. It has been almost two months since he succeeded to the throne, and he is busy, but the queen has lunch twice, and he is really a little unhappy.

Luo Qingluan smiled quietly: "There are too many things that happened before, Your Majesty will just deal with the government affairs left over, and you will definitely accompany the queen mother more in the future, right?" ”

"Yes, yes." As soon as he remembered what happened just now, Nangong Qing was a little uncomfortable, how dare he still raise the bar with Luo Qingluan, so he could only nod.

Since Luo Qingluan was invited to eat lotus root, the lotus vegetables on the dinner table were filled with five plates, including cold lotus root slices, vegetarian lotus root balls, lotus pond stir-fry, etc., and even the pot of salty soup was made of pork bones and lotus root. The soup is snow-white, the lotus root has been boiled soft and glutinous pink, and when you bite into it, the lotus root is silky, fragrant and sweet.

Su Yi almost didn't care about eating, and only gave Nangong Qing a dish: "Your Majesty taste this." She looked at Nangong Qing with a smile and a look of anticipation, as if as long as he said yes, it would be her greatest satisfaction.

After taking a sip of soup, Luo Qingluan said slowly: "Niangniang is so good to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is really blessed, it is rare for the three of us to have dinner together today, I suddenly remembered a little story, are Your Majesty and Niangniang interested in hearing it?" ”

I had never heard Luo Qingluan tell a story, not only Su Yi was interested, but even Nangong Qing's eyes lit up: "Okay, Princess Chu said to listen to it." ”

After thinking about it, Luo Qingluan put down the dishes and chopsticks, and opened his lips leisurely: "Once upon a time, there was a temple with strong incense, and there was a spider on the beam of the temple, and after a thousand years of practice, there was spirituality. One day, the Buddha came to this temple and saw this spiritual spider and asked it a question, what is the most precious thing in the world. ”

Yes, she is talking about the very famous Buddhist classic story in her previous life, and the protagonists in the story are spiders, nectar, long wind and sesame grass. Once Luo Qingluan told Nangong Qing not to put his mind on himself, but obviously he did, even if he had Su Yi, who was always in love with him, he still had no feelings for her.

Today she hopes that after telling this story, he will understand something, know what exactly is he should cherish.

Speaking of this, Luo Qingluan stopped and looked at the two: "What do Your Majesty and Niangniang think?" ”

There are too many precious things in the world, and this question has been thought of a lot in an instant for Nangong Qing and Su Yi.

"The most precious ...... I think about it. Nangong Qing pondered for a moment, a lot of things flashed in her mind, Su Yi looked at him, her eyes flickered, she didn't finish talking for a while, she already knew what she thought was the most precious, but she wanted to wait until Nangong Qing said it.

After a while, Nangong Qing shook his head, it seemed that he had some difficulty in making a choice, and said with a wry smile: "Princess Chu's question is really difficult to answer, if you say three things, then I may still know, the first is the country of Western Chu, the second is the body of the queen mother and the emperor, and the third is like Ziqing or Princess Chu, who is a true friend to me." ”

Just when Su Yi's expression was a little gloomy, he turned his head to look at her again: "Also, the queen is too, very important to me." ”

It was rare to get Nangong Qing's true feelings, and Su Yi was moved: "For the concubines, Your Majesty is the most important. The concubine just wants to accompany His Majesty in this life and this life, no matter what happens. ”

From the answers of these two people, Luo Qingluan understood more and more. However, before the story was finished, she didn't show anything, only smiled faintly: "Then Your Majesty and Niangniang know how the spider answered?" ”

This made the two of them interested, and Su Yi asked first: "Well, Qingluan, you said, how did the spider answer the Buddha?" ”

Luo Qingluan smiled and continued: "When the spider saw the Buddha asking this question, it thought for a while and said, 'The most precious things in the world should be those that cannot be obtained and have been lost. The Buddha didn't say anything and left. ”

Hearing this, Su Yi and Nangong Qing had a feeling of sudden realization, and Nangong Qing tapped the table even more: "Why didn't I think of it before?" Indeed, the most precious things in the world are those that have been lost and those that have not been gained. ”

As if he remembered something from this, Nangong Qing was very touched: "Even though I am already the emperor of Western Chu, only when I sit in this seat, will I understand that there are many things that I can't control." Once, I always felt that my father had a bad temperament and was stubborn. But until now, my father's health is getting worse day by day, and I feel how much I miss the father who used to be kind to us, but now I can't go back. ”

"There are a lot of things like this, like the queen mother."

Nangong Qing continued: "Although the queen mother's health is not bad now, but after so many things have happened, the queen mother seems to have never been happy. If I could go back to the past, I really wanted to do my best to make the queen mother happy. Alas......"

Su Yi couldn't help but feel relieved: "Your Majesty, don't be sad. Some things are really hard to control, and it's not your fault. ”

Speaking of this, Su Yi looked at Luo Qingluan seriously, and became more and more curious about this answer: "Since the spider's answer is like this, why didn't the Buddha say it, is it that the Buddha doesn't agree with its answer, or why don't you leave?" ”
