Chapter 52: Dedication
Unexpectedly, Xiao Qixing hit a rake, and Huo Ting laughed angrily: "I said you have no memory at all?" You said that you are obviously older than Qingyu, why do you see her like a mouse and a cat, before Sister Qing and after Sister Qing? ”
These words made Xiao Qixing choke, what could he do, this was all the shadow left by his childhood......
"Sister Qing has a life-saving grace for me, and it has nothing to do with age." Xiao Qixing is a dead duck with a hard mouth, but he doesn't admit that he is a little cowardly in front of Fu Qingyu.
Huo Ting didn't expose him either, and continued: "Okay, that's how it should be. Then you say, with Qingyu's temperament, he is still virtuous in charge of the harem? Dream on! Wan'er's death made Qingyu want to cut those women in your harem with a thousand knives. ”
"Taking a step back, even if you let those women go, do you think you are a negative man who can't protect your wife and children, and I'm a dregs who doesn't keep your husband's morality, how can you still expect Qingyu? If she hadn't been thinking about her family and country, she would probably have torn the two of us apart a long time ago to avenge her old sister and let out a bad breath. ”
Seeing what Huo Ting said, Xiao Qixing couldn't help but think about that scene for a while, the two glanced at each other, and suddenly there was a chill from the soles of their feet, and goosebumps all over their bodies rose.
"Drinking...... Drinking......" The two had a tacit understanding and stopped the topic and never mentioned it again.
"Your Majesty, ......," Zhang Defu tiptoed into Xiao Qixing's ear and whispered a few words.
"What? The concubine is in the Heart Cultivation Palace? Xiao Qixing frowned and asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the concubine is worried about your body, so she personally stewed a cup of tonic to replenish the emperor's body." Zhang Defu told the truth.
Huo Ting listened beside him, and glanced at Xiao Qixing teasingly, which seemed to say: The most difficult thing to accept the grace of a beauty, your beauty has come to the door.
was urged by a woman in front of an old friend, how could Xiao Qixing stand it, and slapped it on the table: "Just say that I have rested, let her go back!" I don't have time to accompany a woman to grind. ”
Zhang Defu had a bitter face: "Back to the emperor, the people below have already said it, and they really can't bear it, so they said to the slave, look at ......" He really wants to say that the emperor wants you to go and see?" They couldn't stand it anymore.
"Women are trouble!" Xiao Qixing was not willing to go, and he was even more unwilling to lose face in front of his brother.
"Come on, Your Majesty, the hour is not early, the minister will retire first, and I have to wait for Qingyu to return home with Jingyi." Huo Ting took the lead in getting up and said, giving Xiao Qixing a step down. Brothers for so many years, they naturally know what Xiao Qixing cares about, and now the power of the Zhao family in the court cannot be underestimated, even if it is the emperor, he can't handle the Zhao family's concubines at will.
"You kid." Xiao Qixing knew Huo Ting's intentions, and he didn't do much entanglement, so he bowed and retreated. He was supported by Zhang Defu and went towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Out of the Taihe Palace, Huo Ting, was blown by the cool breeze of the night, the wine completely dissipated, and the palace lamps painted with various patterns and styles were hung high, making the Taihe Hall more brilliant, majestic and inviolable.
"The throne? Heh......" Huo Ting's eyes as deep as a pool of water moved slightly, and some humble figures disappeared in front of Fu Qingyu, and the murderous aura of those who practiced martial arts was undoubtedly revealed.
He looked in the direction of Xiao Qixing's departure, his expression changed for a moment, as if he was delusional, and turned around and walked towards the palace gate.
Xiao Yichen strode to the Empress Dowager's palace, and a group of palace people hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
Jing Yi didn't understand what Xiao Yichen was going to make trouble with a burst of rain and a while, so he had to follow closely behind and enter the hall together.
The Queen Mother chatted with Fu Qingyu so much that she forgot the time for a while, and saw that Xiao Yichen and Jingyi were back, so she suddenly glanced at the sky outside: "Oh, look at me, I unknowingly pulled you to talk for so long." ”
"I'll ask the palace people to prepare dinner, and your mother and son will stay with me for a simple bite today?"
Seeing that the Queen Mother was so gracious, Fu Qingyu was a little difficult, not only did she not want the Queen Mother to be sad, but she was really worried about Jingyi, I don't know what the situation between Huo Ting and the emperor is, the palace lights have been lit, and it is a little unruly for them to keep it anymore.
Xiao Yichen saw through Fu Qingyu's thoughts, and said before she opened her mouth to refuse: "Aunt Qing, I haven't seen the imperial grandmother so happy for a long time, it's all the credit of Aunt Qing and Jing Yi, the food in the palace is not as delicious as Aunt Qing's, but there are also meticulous points, why don't you eat with Jing Yi and then leave?" ”
Fu Qingyu didn't think it was anything before, but when he heard Xiao Yichen directly say that the food in the imperial kitchen was not as delicious as the one he made, a blush floated on his gentle face.
"You kid, you know how to make fun of Aunt Qing. How could I be better than the Imperial Chef? ”
Xiao Yichen took a step forward and bowed to Fu Qingyu: "Aunt Qing's cooking is the best I have ever tasted, if I have the opportunity, I want to taste it again." Aunt Qing doesn't know that I'm very greedy these days. ”
Jing Yi couldn't help but roll her eyes at the back of Xiao Yichen's head, how could she not see this kid so eloquent on weekdays. No wonder she coaxed her mother to make him something to eat, hum!
"Your child, what is your name Aunt Qing, you should be called Auntie." The Queen Mother listened to Xiao Yichen's praise of Fu Qingyu, and felt comforted in her heart, if it wasn't for the war and natural disasters back then, why did the two families get together again after so many years, Chen'er can be close to Jingyi, the child, and the Queen Mother is very relieved.
"Yes, auntie, you can promise the imperial grandmother to stay and eat." Xiao Yichen responded with a smile and tried to persuade.
Fu Qingyu had no choice, so he responded to the grandfather and grandson, and had dinner with Jingyi in the queen mother's palace before leaving.
"Auntie, I'll send you out, Uncle Huo is already waiting for you at the palace gate." Xiao Yichen said goodbye to the Queen Mother, let her rest well, and caught up with Fu Qingyu and talked to Jingyi.
"Okay." Fu Qingyu naturally has no opinion, the night is dark, it is not easy for them to walk around when they enter the palace for the first time, and with Xiao Yichen leading them, they will have a lot less trouble.
Jing Yi pursed her lips, just now at the dining table just watched Xiao Yichen give her mother courtesy, for a while for the mother cloth, for a while for the queen mother, for a while, look at him busy.
I don't know if it's my own delusion, I always feel that following Xiao Yichen around the palace and coming back, his attitude seems to be a little weird? Whenever he looked at him, he always moved away quickly, which had never been done before.
Jing Yi was thinking about her thoughts, and she didn't pay attention to Xiao Yichen's afterglow and kept looking at her. Xiao Yichen also knew that he seemed to have gone too far after realizing it, but he was really at a loss if he didn't keep his distance from Jingyi like this.
"Clear rain!" When there was still some distance from the palace gate, Huo Ting saw a group of people and quickly greeted them.
"Uncle Huo, my aunt and Jingyi were delivered safely." Xiao Yichen said jokingly.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince." Huo Ting loves Xiao Yichen very much, but on the surface, he will still follow the etiquette to call the prince.
