Qin Ke sat alone at the table, the table was full of meals, delicacies from the mountains and seas, and delicacies, but Qin Ke did not feel hungry, and only thought about the uninvited guests of the palace.

Thinking about it constantly, a teenager suddenly ran into Qin Ke's residence.

"Mother Qin, what kind of delicious food has been prepared today, the child can smell it from afar!"

Xia Bingliang, the prince of King Jin's mansion, entered the door and saluted Qin Ke.

"The child has seen Concubine Qin. ”

"Liang'er is back, just in time, to dine with her mother. Qin Ke got up and asked.

Xia Bingliang is Xia Huaijin's only son, fifteen years old, born to a concubine, raised under Qin Ke's knees since childhood, like a mother and son.

"Mother Concubine Qin, hasn't my father returned from the dynasty today?" Xia Bingliang asked.

"Your father has already returned, but something suddenly happened in the palace, so he entered the palace again. Qin Ke said as he picked up vegetables for Xia Bingliang.

"Thank you Mother Qin, my father is really too much, Mother Qin has prepared a lot of meals, but he can't enter the door. Xia Bingliang hugged Qin Ke while eating.

"Liang'er shouldn't say that about your father. ”

Just as he was saying this, Yu He hurriedly approached the door and said, "Niangniang, the prince is back." ”

"Father is back?" Xia Bingliang asked and got up, "Mother Qin, wait a minute, the child will go and bring your father here, so as not to disappoint you." ”

Xia Huaijin didn't know what to think, after entering the palace, he learned from the emperor that the queen mother had disappeared in the palace, and he also saw her writing with his own eyes, confirmed the handwriting, and ordered that no one should disturb her Yaxing, who traveled to watch the flowers, and was not allowed to send someone to find and follow the supervision.

Everything was as An Ronghua said, and Xia Huaijin didn't mention a palace person named Gu Nu.

"It seems that she is not lying. ”

Xia Huaijin was about to remember his home, An Ronghua came out of the courtyard, and the two met on the right road.

"You're back, what's the situation in the palace?" An Ronghua asked anxiously, she was anxious to know if the emperor's son could feel at ease when she left the palace.

An Ronghua has no estrangement towards Xia Huaijin, and there is no groveling and respectful obedience that a slave should have.

"The Queen Mother really went out of the palace to enjoy the flowers as you said, but she left a letter, and it didn't cause too much trouble. ”

"What about the emperor? An Ronghua was anxious.

"The emperor knew that the queen mother was nowhere to be found, and he was anxious, and he had to send someone to catch up with the queen mother's whereabouts no matter what, but the emperor has always been filial, and the queen mother did not let people follow, so he could only worry in vain. ”

"Is he anxious and worried?" An Ronghua's eyes were anxious and worried.

"The emperor and the queen mother's mother and son are connected, the queen mother does not say goodbye, and the emperor's worry is inevitable. ”

"I should have thought of it, but I ......" An Ronghua's emotions were revealed, hidden in his heart, "Bingwen, there is nothing to do to forgive my mother." ”

"This king promised you, since you are frank with this king, this king will not denounce you for fleeing the palace, but during the time when the queen mother leaves the palace, you ......"

"I want to stay in the palace, is the prince willing to take me in for a while?"

An Ronghua's invitation made Xia Huaijin emotional, he has not reached the age of old eyes and faintness, he is not a ruthless and desireless person, An Ronghua's eyes touched his love that had been frozen for many years.

Xia Bingliang came, and the closer he got to his home, the more strange it was that a woman he had never seen in the palace was so close to his father.

"Father!" Xia Bingliang ran towards Xia Huaijin, bumped into An Ronghua, and pushed her away from his father.

"Who are you? How have I never seen you? Xia Bingliang's eyes rejected people thousands of miles away.

An Ronghua stabilized the body that was hit, and when he saw Xia Bingliang, he smiled kindly and patted him on the shoulder.

"Xiao Liang'er, you've grown taller again!"

Xia Bingliang had a disgusted expression on his face, shook his shoulders to dodge, and said, "What is your identity, dare to call me like this, only the Queen Mother's aunt calls me Xiao Liang'er." ”

In an instant, Xia Huaijin was also confused, in addition to her age, the valley girl in front of her was too similar to An Ronghua.

"I just heard the Queen Mother call you like this, so I learned it!"

"Who do you think you are?" Xia Bingliang turned his head to Xia Huaijin in disgust and said, "Father, Concubine Qin has prepared a lot of delicious meals, and is waiting for her father, so the child and his father will go to eat with Concubine Qin!"

"Dinner?" An Ronghua's hungry stomach screamed when he heard the word.

In Qin Ke's courtyard, in the hall, Xia Huaijin's family of three was happy, but An Ronghua stood with his subordinates in a hungry state.

"The mourning family is the queen mother, how can this be reasonable!" An Ronghua muttered in pieces, and his stomach was even more gurgling like a drum.

"Valley girl. Xia Huaijin put down his chopsticks and called.

"What's the matter?" An Ronghua stepped forward proudly.

"She is a guest invited by the king, and the princess thinks she can dine with us?" Xia Huaijin asked.

"Of course ......not," Xia Bingliang was eager to veto.

"Leave it to the king. Qin Ke obeyed Xia Huaijin's wishes and stopped Xia Bingliang.

"Concubine Qin!" Xia Bingliang was displeased.

"Yuhe, add a pair of chopsticks. Qin Ke ordered to go down.

"Then thank you for your hospitality. ”

An Ronghua walked to the front of the seat with a posture, glanced at it, and Yuhe moved the seat and invited her to take a seat. An Ronghua lowered his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and his every move made people look dumbfounded.

Xia Huaijin is also unusual, a palace maid, this dinner table etiquette is so thoughtful.

"This golden bamboo shoot black chicken soup is slightly too greasy, stewed chicken should choose free-range chicken, the chicken body should be fat and thin, so that the stewed soup will be mellow and not greasy, and the stewing time must be more particular, the meat will be tender and delicious. An Ronghua put down the spoon and continued to taste, "This spring bamboo shoot has been steamed for too long, the bamboo shoot skin has lost its crispness, and the meat filling contained in it is too old." ”

"Hey, I said what kind of person are you, I just learned from the Queen Mother's aunt to call me by my nickname, and now you are still pretending to be like this, pretentious, you think you are the Queen Mother!" Xia Bingliang couldn't stand it and said bluntly.

An Ronghua was stunned for a moment with chopsticks, and for a while, she couldn't forget her identity as the queen mother.

"I'm just talking, straight-mouthed, and not malicious. An Ronghua was a little embarrassed, but in his heart, "The mourning family was originally the queen mother!"

An Ronghua took a deep breath and had an awkward lunch with Xia Huaijin's family. finally understood a truth, Xia Huaijin is already a man with another family, and she is already an outsider.

The uninvited guests in the house, the age is just right, the appearance is unique, and the host eats together, and the prince has a private meeting, but for half a day, it is spread by word of mouth in the palace, and rumors are spreading.

And the one who was most worried about this was no one else, the two concubines in the house, Aunt Feng and Aunt Wei, found Qin Ke to explore the matter.

"Sister Princess, where did the valley girl come from, and what is the relationship between her and the prince?" Aunt Feng has a pair of bright eyes, which are very moving.

"How dare I ask about the prince's affairs?" Qin Ke couldn't hide the loss in his eyes.

"For so many years, there has never been any other woman around the prince except for my sister and sister, and a woman of unknown origin suddenly ran out, we are just worried that the prince will be deceived by a bad woman!" Aunt Wei said with a heavy face.

"For so many years, the prince has never been tempted by a young and beautiful woman, if she is really the woman the prince likes, and it is also her honor, why do you and I need to say more. Qin Ke's words were extremely soft.
