Jiang Muyan went out to cook a bowl of sugar water eggs and came back for the man to eat. They live here in disguise, their food and clothing are no different from ordinary palace maids and eunuchs, and it is already very good to be able to eat a bowl of sugar water eggs occasionally.
Jiang Muyan pushed the sugar water egg in front of the man, and said with a smile: "Eat it quickly." β
Zhao Yan glanced at her, cut the egg from the middle with a spoon, scooped up half of it and sent it to Jiang Muyan's mouth.
Jiang Muyan hurriedly stood up and shook her head: "I've eaten enough for dinner, you can eat it quickly, it will be fishy when it gets cold." "She was going out to do the laundry.
"Yeon-yeon." The man grabbed her and made a little effort in his hand, "Obedient." β
Their status in the palace is now the lowest-class eunuchs and palace maids, and the portions are pitiful, and the meals are eaten by a group of people around a table, and there will be no food if the chopsticks are a little slower.
How is it possible to eat support.
Jiang Muyan had no choice but to bend down and eat half of the egg with the spoon handed over by Zhao Yan.
This is what she bought with the monthly silver she saved and the kitchen, the kitchen is black-hearted, and the eggs are sold for three taels of silver each, and she bought them to replenish his body.
Zhao Yan touched her face gently, the two looked at each other and smiled, Jiang Muyan said, "You change the dirty clothes, and I will wash them off for you." β
"Okay."
Hearing the man's promise, Jiang Muyan pushed open the door and walked out. When he came back from fetching water from the well, he put his dirty clothes in the basin, and sat on a small bench for himself, and washed his clothes in the moonlight.
When she was doing the laundry, she occasionally remembered the past. She has a good background, her father loved her mother since she was a child, and later entered the palace as Zhao Yan's concubine, and she has not suffered much for more than ten years. Later, the palace changed, and she disappeared from this world with Zhao Yan.
In fact, they have never left this imperial city, but they have just changed their identities to live.
Zhao Yan's choice was correct. The world is so big, there may not be a place for them, Zhao Zhen has a way to find them. But Zhao Zhen would never have imagined that they were hiding in this deep palace.
When the palace changed, the palace people were running to death, and the palace was almost empty, which was just convenient for them. Most of the palace people in the palace are selected later, and they don't recognize them, she usually only needs to wipe her face a little yellow when she goes out, but Zhao Yan has to paint that weird look, in order to make people look at him at one time and not want to look at him a second time......
Over the years, Zhao Yan has asked her countless times: Do you regret it?
She really didn't regret it at all.
Although life is a little hard, it is also good for two people to rely on each other and have fun in the bitterness. For so many years, she and Zhao Yan are like the most ordinary couple in the people.
She gave birth to two children to Zhao Yan, a boy and a girl, who were sent to her father and mother as soon as they were born, and I don't know what she looks like now.
Zhao Yan opened the door and came out, carrying two dirty clothes in his hands. Jiang Muyan took it and put it in the basin and said to him, "You go in and sleep, I'll come in after washing my clothes." β
Zhao Yan's dark eyes stared at her, his fingers hooked a lock of black hair on her sideburns to play, and said for a while: "Bear with it a little longer." β
Bear with it a little longer, and this torturous day will soon pass.
Jiang Muyan was stunned.
Although she was worried, she knew the ambition in the man's heart - it was impossible for him to be willing to cower in this palace for the rest of his life, he was lying down and trying his courage, just to be able to fight back one day.
So Jiang Muyan didn't dare to persuade anything.
He wanted to do it, and she was behind him.
It just so happens that now Zhao Huan has also grown up.
Zhao Yan only got in touch with Zhao Huan last year. She has met that child a few times, and his temperament is a little gloomy, but he will pretend to be well-behaved and innocent in front of people, which is really similar to Zhao Yan.
But father and son, it seems like it should be.
But the difference between Zhao Huan and Zhao Yan is that the child still retains a sincere heart, attaches importance to friends, and is attached to his family.
Very, very hungry for someone to love him.
It's a pity that Empress Dowager Shen and Zhao Huan are the kind of people who are extremely stingy with love for others. She has been with Zhao Yan for more than ten years, but she still can't feel that Zhao Yan loves her.
Although he was very good to her.
However, Jiang Muyan is not extravagant, as long as she can be by his side, she is very content, and she has no regrets.
She really pitied Zhao Huan's child.
Jiang Muyan returned to the house after washing her clothes and found that Zhao Yan had not slept yet, so she smiled when she saw her and said, "Come here, I'll pinch your shoulders." β
Jiang Muyan took off her coat and went to bed, Zhao Yan's hand was on her shoulder hard, the force was just right, a little sore and very comfortable.
In order to survive without a trace in the palace, they had to work like other palace people, and at the beginning, they were tired every day and had back pain, so the two of them knocked each other on the back and massaged something.
"Is Zhao Huan okay?" Jiang Muyan asked.
"He kind of blamed me." Zhao Yan smiled helplessly, "But it doesn't matter, if you can't see the Shen family for a while, his feelings for the Shen family will naturally fade." β
Jiang Muyan persuaded: "Don't be cold to him all day long, he is your son, don't you care about him?" β
Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows: "I don't care yet?" β
"You only care if he's at your mercy." Jiang Muyan turned her head and glared at the man, "You are really cold." β
"What's the solution? That's how I am. Zhao Huan's voice was lazy.
Jiang Muyan didn't say anything, and the room was quiet for a moment.
"You're not cold." Jiang Muyan looked at the candle flame on the table, her clear and clean eyes reflected the flames, and smiled bitterly: "It's just that we didn't go to your heart." β
Zhao Yan rubbed his shoulders slightly, and then continued casually, his eyes were dark, and his smile was a little ruffian: "Yanyan, what are you talking about, after so many years, even if you climb, you will crawl into my heart." β
Men are never embarrassed when they say love words, they are sweet and moving, but Jiang Muyan knows very well that this is not true.
What prompted Zhao Yan to choose to survive in the first place?
She?
General Kong?
I'm afraid not.
Jiang Muyan had already figured it out, Zhao Yan didn't have such a strong desire for power at all, and he could endure humiliation and lurk in the palace for so many years.
What he is unwilling, persistent, and eager for is just that woman after all.
*
After that, Zhao Yuanyi often went to visit Zhao Huan, brought him some food from outside, and the two of them drank and played chess together, and the days passed quietly.
At the end of the year, Zhao Zhen discussed with the ministers and decided to lift Zhao Huan's ban. After all, Zhao Huan is the king of a country, he has to worship his ancestors heaven and earth, he has to appear at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and he must also appear at the New Year's Day court.
In short, it is not appropriate to lock him up anymore.
On the day when Zhao Huan lifted the ban, it was very dark, the sky was blue and sunny, which was rare in the cold winter. Zhao Huan participated in the court meeting, and he was expressionless and didn't say a word throughout the whole process, and the courtiers below were a little sneering.
After the next dynasty, Zhao Yuanyi came to him, empty-handed and didn't bring anything, saying that he would take him out to play.
Zhao Huan couldn't help but be surprised.
When he was a child, Zhao Yuanyi took him to escape. Two seven or eight-year-old boys, plus several of Zhao Yuanyi's guards, wandered around the lively bazaar. Zhao Yuanyi saw the folk market for the first time, and looked around curiously, seeing everything he wanted.
He doesn't have silver, Zhao Yuanyi does. As long as he likes anything, Zhao Yuanyi will buy it for him.
But when he came back, these things were thrown away by the Empress Dowager Shen.
For this reason, he did not speak to Empress Dowager Shen for a long time.
"It's the end of the year, there are a lot of New Year's goods on the street, you can take you shopping." Zhao Yuanyi said with a grin.
Zhao Huan hesitated: "That's ...... Not so good. β
"It's okay! I'll carry it for you if something happens. "Zhao Yuanyi is very righteous.
Zhao Huan changed into civilian clothes and went out of the palace with Zhao Yuanyi. Not far in front of the palace gate is the market, where the stalls and vendors crowd all the way, shouting endlessly, and the air is filled with the smell of things.
Zhao Huan's eyes fell on a store selling xiaolongbao, and his footsteps stopped.
It smells so good.
Zhao Yuanyi glanced at him, smiled and asked, "Want to eat?" β
Zhao Huan shook his head and walked forward.
Zhao Yuanyi stood still and shouted at him: "Come back, it's thanks to coming out without eating something." With that, he walked to the shop. There were a lot of people in the store, and there was no one at the two tables, so Zhao Yuanyi pulled Zhao Huan to sit down next to an empty table.
"Two baskets of xiaolong buns, two bowls of wontons, and a plate of beef in sauce." Zhao Yuanyi ordered the dish familiarly.
"Okay! Come now! β
Soon the dishes were ready, and Zhao Yuanyi taught Zhao Huan how to eat this xiaolong bun, demonstrated a small bite, and then drank the soup inside.
"It's a little hot, be careful." Zhao Yuanyi reminded him.
Even if he reminded him, Zhao Huan was still burned by the soup.
His tongue was numb, but the taste from the tip of his tongue was in two wordsβdelicious.
His eyes lit up, regardless of the numbness of his tongue, he carefully sucked the soup, ate one and picked up the second, and soon a basket of steamed buns was eaten by him.
Zhao Yuanyi's eyes were full of the old father's love, and he asked him, "Do you still want it?" β
Zhao Huan nodded.
Suddenly reacted again, and quickly shook his head and blushed and said, "No need." β
"It's okay, if you like it, you can order it again, it's not worth much." Zhao Yuanyi beckoned to Xiao Er, "Another cage." β
Zhao Huan was very embarrassed, touched his body, he had no silver but only a jade pendant, and handed it to him: "I won't eat you for nothing." β
Zhao Yuanyi pushed him back again, jokingly: "What to eat for nothing is not eaten for nothing, I think you are a real idiot." β
Zhao Huan: "......"
The two of them came out of the store after eating a lot, Zhao Yuanyi hooked his arm around Zhao Huan's neck, and said with a smile: "How about I take you to see the good-looking girl?" Watch people dance and sing. β
Zhao Huan: "......"
Are you going to kidnap me to Hualou?
Do you want to go to Hualou with the Son of Heaven?
"No, no." He simply refused.
In his impression, it was not a good place, and he couldn't care if Zhao Yuanyi wanted to go with his friends, anyway, he wouldn't go.
"Okay." Zhao Yuanyi sighed and felt deep regret: "Why are you so serious? Wouldn't it be nice to relax once in a while? I didn't let you do anything with other girls. β
Zhao Huan: "......"
Shut up.
