Chapter 29: Wait for Him

The paper was so white and immaculate that there wasn't even a word.

He took a booklet in his hand, and saw that it recorded in detail the family background of Cai Nu, and her appearance was special.

suddenly realized in her heart that she was preparing a list of concubines.

Xu couldn't understand the official system of the imperial court, and there was a thick detailed explanation of official ranks next to it.

It's really hard for her.

A trace of warmth surged up in Xia Yichen's heart, "Father-in-law Gao, tell the imperial dining room to cook a few more dishes that the queen loves to eat." ”

"Yes." Duke Gao took the order and withdrew.

Xia Yichen picked up a few more books on the table and flipped through them, all of which introduced the family backgrounds of the major famous families in the DPRK and China.

Thinking of Mu Huayin's vow that day, he would do his best to choose a concubine for him, and he lowered his eyes.

It seems that the queen has really put some effort into choosing a concubine.

Putting the book back in its place, he was about to sit down, but his eyes inadvertently caught a pale green corner peeking out from under the clutter of books.

He pulled out the pale green cover booklet.

As the emperor who has to deal with countless folds every day, he naturally knows that this pale green is the style of Mufu's excerpts.

So he opened the fold.

Scold.

Mu Huayin instructed his subordinates to prepare lunch, and then went to the corner of Fengqi Palace to pick some mint, houttuynia cordata, and light bamboo leaves, and prepared to make a cup of health tea for Xia Yichen.

She grows these plants herself, and it is best to soak in water and drink them.

She was about to enter the hall with a handful of fresh leaves, but saw Xia Yichen walking out of the hall.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?"

"Eat your own lunch."

The tone was very cold, and after speaking, he strode out of Fengqi Palace.

Mu Huayin looked at his back and was very puzzled, why did he leave before he ate?

Forget it, hasn't the emperor always been so fickle?

It's okay to go, it's a big deal that she eats with Ruexiang.

The lunch was quite hearty.

Originally, the emperor was already very particular about dining, and Xia Yichen ordered the imperial dining room to make a few more dishes that Mu Huayin loved to eat, adding up to more than 30 dishes, and the tables in the palace were full.

Mu Huayin picked a few dishes that she liked to eat, and asked Rue Xiang to pick a few dishes that she liked to eat, and the rest were rewarded to the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace.

She has always disliked waste, and she usually eats only four dishes and one soup, and she still eats it with Ruexiang.

Although the Imperial Dining Room said that it was not in order, she felt that it was a shame to waste food, so she insisted on it.

After eating and drinking, Mu Huayin felt a little sleepy, so she yawned and prepared to take a nap.

At this moment, Gonggong Gao entered the palace to pass on the emperor's message, "Queen Mother, the emperor ordered the servants to come and pass the message, so that you can prepare to sleep tonight." ”

Sleeping again?

Mu Huayin waved her hand, "Bengong knows, you go first." ”

She felt that she was immune to the word "bed".

Xia Yichen's mind is unpredictable, and he has already tricked her three or four times, who knows if it is true this time.

But whoever makes her the emperor's woman has to be ready to sleep with the emperor at any time.

Anyway, there are not many days left, and as soon as the matter of choosing a concubine is over and Xia Yichen is found, she will immediately leave the palace with the gold medal of exoneration.

It can be regarded as the end of his benevolence and righteousness.

She slept until late in the evening, and when she woke up, it was already sunset outside the window.

Bathing, burning incense, changing clothes, and packing up, it's already time.

estimated that the emperor should be coming soon, so Mu Huayin sat in the palace and waited for him.

In this way, it was more than an hour, and the candles on the candlestick were changed two or three.

Mu Huayin couldn't help but start yawning, the others were so bored that her stomach was hungry and kept screaming.

"Master, do you want the slave to go and order the imperial dining room to make something to eat?"

"No need," Mu Huayin shook her head, "The emperor may come at any time, so let's wait." ”

So more than an hour passed for this wait.

Seeing that the moon had climbed into the air from the edge of the sky, and the night was getting deeper, Xia Yichen's figure had not yet appeared.

Mu Huayin leaned against the head of the bed, only to feel that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and she couldn't help but close them.

At that moment, a sound of footsteps came from outside the temple.

Mu Huayin cheered up from her sleep in a daze, and was about to get up to greet her, but she saw that it was Gao Gonggong who came in.

"What about the emperor?" She looked outside the hall, but she didn't see Xia Yichen's figure.

"Go back to Niangniang, the emperor won't come tonight, the special servant came to tell Niangniang, rest early."

Rue Xiang, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa Gao, did something happen?" ”

"The emperor has gone to the Ningxiang Palace."

After speaking, he retreated with the eunuch behind him.

Mu Huayin couldn't support it anymore, fell on the bed, pulled the quilt, and fell asleep.
