Chapter 5: Xenophobia

"Master, after your shock today, I don't think that Steward Sun will have two hearts." Thinking of Sun Yuzhou's dejected appearance when he left today, Shan'er's whole person felt more relaxed, and his hands and feet became more and more numb when he served Huo Yining.

Huo Yining lay on the chaise longue and let Shan'er knock her back and pinch her shoulders, and the feeling of fatigue gradually hit. A minion like Sun Yuzhou, a standard wall-to-wall grass, a momentary deterrence will only make him temporarily surrender, once you lose power, immediately defect, he is only loyal to interests and power. I can't help but think of the moment when I sat in the court and made a decision to kill. When she was a teenager, she also fell in love with the man who was as clear and handsome as the morning dew, until she found out that he killed his brother and seized the throne, the wolf was ambitious, and he peeked into the country of the Great Zhou, and she knew that this man had been deceiving her with hypocrisy. Qingmei turned against her, and the bamboo horse was poisonous, he secretly spread rumors, portrayed her as an ambitious and ruthless 'rebel and thief', and even crowned her as an attempt to become the first empress of the Great Zhou, forcing her step by step into the trap he designed.

She wants to ascend the throne as the emperor and protect the Great Zhou Jiangshan and the orthodox bloodline of the Jiang family.

He announced to the world that the princes from all walks of life would raise troops to revolt to eradicate her, a scourge of the world!

Hate! She really hated it!

"Wake up, master, it's time to eat."

Huo Yining woke up slowly, and everywhere he saw was a group of carved beams and paintings, and his heart suddenly fell into the air, suddenly like a dream.

She actually fell asleep, the waves of memories were too turbulent, and the heart-rending pain of life and death was still in her heart, and it could not be dissipated.

"Princess, did you have a nightmare, why are you crying?" Shan'er stared at Huo Yining with concern, her eyes burning abnormally.

Huo Yining raised his hand and touched his cheek, the tentacles were wet and cold, and then explained: "Yes, I remember the days when I was in the mountain village, when my mother was still ......"

Huo Yining's mother died of overwork when she was ten years old, leaving Huo Yining alone, living like a beggar and being bullied. If it weren't for Emperor Wu's holy decree, I'm afraid she wouldn't have survived that winter.

She and Huo Yining were born hard, so they should live well!

"Mother, it's over, let's eat. There are a few delicious dishes from the kitchen today. Shan'er said happily while tidying up Huo Yining's clothes.

Huo Yining looked at her face full of excitement, and her mood couldn't help but feel a little better.

The food in the front hall has already been arranged, a red yeast boiled mutton, a steamed gourd, a mountain fragrance, and a stack of Guanghan cakes. A table full of dishes, with a suitable combination of meat and vegetables, bright and bright colors, just looking at it has made people's fingers move.

"The princess has just recovered from a serious illness and needs tonics, so today's staple food specially made Yunying chicken noodle soup for one night." Sun Yuzhou smiled and opened the lid of the bowl, a fragrance came to his nose, the colorful porcelain bowl was filled with pure white chicken soup, sprinkled with green onions, and the green color was dotted with filament-like noodles, which was delicious and tempting.

"This chicken soup is made with ginseng whiskers to adjust the freshness, wolfberries and red dates are good for qi and blood, and the taste is beautiful but not greasy, master, you can taste it."

Huo Yining looked at the people waiting left and right, but he didn't see Zi Ying and Lu Li.

"Why don't you see Purple Sakura and Green Plum to serve?"

Sun Yuzhou immediately stepped forward and explained: "Back to Niangniang's words, Miss Zi Ying and Miss Lu Li both said that they were unwell and took leave today. ”

Huo Yining suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Heh, the master of the sick Gao Fake Palace doesn't know, who are they serving?" As the princess of Jin, how can she be waiting for such a third-class girl all day long. ”

Sun Yuzhou complained bitterly. This purple cherry and green plum are not ordinary girl slaves, they can be held in his hands. They are the people of the former princess, and now they are protected by the King of Jin, and the two aunts and grandmothers want to pick a child, he dares to be angry and dare not speak!

"In this case, from today onwards, Shan'er will serve the palace closely, and be responsible for all the sleeping and food and living in peace. As for the purple cherry blossoms and green plums, let them go outside to serve. Bengong's body is still healing, but I don't want to be sick again. ”

On the surface, she only raised the identity of Shan'er, the girl, and the identities of Zi Ying, Lu Li and Li have not changed, but in fact, these two people have been excluded. The second-class maidservant can only serve outside, and this arrangement is simply a slap in the face of Zi Ying and Lu Li. Sun Yuzhou responded to Huo Yining while looking at Shan'er. This girl looks honest, but she didn't expect to be smarter than anyone else!
