Chapter 43: Meals
Wen Nianqing was completely out of the situation, and asked in confusion: "What did you say?"
Xiao Yuhan choked for a moment, and just wanted to say something, the Dongbai Gonggong beside Emperor Xia came, "The two of you have been waiting for a long time, Your Majesty invites the two of you to come in." ”
"Two? Father must have something to do with Lord Xiao, it's inconvenient to enter the palace, so it's better to wait in the palace, don't worry. Wen Nianqing politely took a step back in line with the principle of not interfering in the government's affairs, and made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Yuhan.
Dongbai Gonggong smiled and said: "Your Highness has misunderstood, Your Majesty has nothing to do with the government, but it is just gossip, so I asked the two of you to go in together." ”
Wen Nianqing looked at Xiao Yuhan, Xiao Yuhan was also at a loss, she really couldn't guess Emperor Xia's routine, nodded, and walked out of the side hall first.
"Erchen (Weichen) greets his father (His Majesty)."
"Get up, come on, come on, you don't have to eat, come and eat together! Let's eat first!" Emperor Xia warmly welcomed the two to sit down, and could not refuse to press the two on the chair.
Wen Nianqing was tired of Emperor Xia's one-handed marriage contract, and she really couldn't guess Emperor Xia's thoughts, so she decided to respond to all changes with no change. quickly opened a well-behaved smile, "Thank you, father, the son is just hungry, so it is better to be respectful." ”
Xiao Yuhan arched his hand and also sat down to eat.
Wen Nianqing personally added a bowl of soup to Emperor Xia and Xiao Yuhan, "Use a bowl of soup to warm your stomach before eating." ”
Xiao Yuhan was flattered, got up and thanked, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
Emperor Xia watched the interaction between the two with a smile, and as a result, Tang stroked his beard.
Xiao Yuhan glanced down, the pale white soup rippled in the bowl with Xiao Yuhan's movements, and the jade-white yam was soft and glutinous, melting in the mouth. Xiao Yuhan took a sip, and sure enough, he felt much warmer in his stomach.
Emperor Xia's side was not very good, but Wen Nianqing specially served him a bowl of the spiciest soup. Orange-red oil flowers floated in the bowl, and red chili peppers swayed on the soup. Emperor Xia's smile froze for a moment, and Wen Nianqing looked innocent, "What's wrong?" Didn't my father like spicy food? I'm just sweating. ”
Emperor Xia couldn't say anything, he drank most of the bowl with the soup bowl, and his spicy sideburns were sweaty. Wen Nianqing originally wanted to fix Xiao Yuhan, but thinking that Xiao Yuhan had a bad stomach and was afraid that a bowl of spicy soup would make him have stomach pain, he still couldn't bear it after all, so he gave him a bowl of yam soup that nourished his stomach.
Seeing Emperor Xia's spicy sweating, Wen Nianqing felt a lot more angry, and he was in a good mood and drank soup and ate vegetables. Mei Yun gave Wen Nianqing a dish, knowing Wen Nianqing's careful thoughts, she glanced at Wen Nianqing playfully, and was blocked back by Wen Nianqing with her eyes.
A few people chatter about family life, not involved in government politics, but also harmonious. When the food was almost finished, Emperor Xia beckoned Xiao Yuhan over, and said to Wen Nianqing, "Qing'er, Yuhan is very talented, just teach you and your sisters and brothers to write and paint or something." You, study hard with him, don't waste such a good teacher in vain. ”
"Yes, Erchen will definitely listen to Lord Xiao's words."
"Come on, come on, you write a word, draw a picture, and let Lord Xiao have a number in his heart." Emperor Xia asked Dongbai to bring up the prepared pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and retreated Wen Nianqing to the table.
"No...... No need. Wen Nianqing smiled dryly, thinking of her ability, she was really embarrassed to get an axe in front of Xiao Yuhan.
Xiao Yuhan is both civil and military, and he is considered to be everyone in terms of calligraphy and painting. At that time, Xiao Yuhan wrote a handwritten hand, which became the first choice for young sons to practice calligraphy. Painting, can be sold for a lot of money.
Xiao Yuhan was very curious about Wen Nianqing, who could be said to have heard of Wen Nianqing for a long time, and personally polished the ink, "Your Highness is fine, you can write it casually." ”
