Chapter 189: Eccentricity
"Your Majesty's dragon body has been healthy lately?" Chu Wanxiang asked.
Chu Mohan nodded and replied, "I've been in a lot better lately, and the queen doesn't have to worry about me."
Lu Liu sat down on the other side, cooked for Chu Mohan, and said, "Your Majesty has a good appetite and a great appetite recently, and the imperial doctor said that this is because Your Majesty is in a happy mood and in good health."
"Your Majesty's dragon body has healed, and this palace is naturally pleased." Chu Wanxiang said, picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of meat and handed it to Chu Mohan's bowl, "Your Majesty, how about tasting this roast pigeon?"
Chu Mohan picked up the piece of meat and put it in his mouth to chew, and praised: "The taste is tender and crispy, the taste is unique, and it suits my appetite very well." After that, he took one and put it in his mouth again, "It's really good, it's smooth and sweet."
Chu Wanxiang took another piece and handed it to Chu Mohan's lips: "Your Majesty, the concubine will feed you a piece of pork ribs again."
Chu Mohan opened his mouth, swallowed the meat into his stomach, and smiled, "I'm not hungry."
Chu Wanxiang said with a smile: "Today is Your Majesty's birthday, and the concubine has specially prepared a sumptuous dinner. Does Your Majesty like this meal?"
"The queen is bothered."
"Your Majesty is gracious."
The two chatted a few words, and Lu Liu interjected at the right time: "Niangniang, the crown princess is here."
The words fell, and there was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near, and soon they came closer and stopped.
"See Your Majesty, the Queen." Su Zhixue saluted, then got up and said, "The concubine sees the queen's mother."
Chu Wanxiang smiled and bowed: "Calm down." The crown princess came just in time, Your Majesty is waiting for you, you can talk to Your Majesty! There are still unfinished performances in this palace, so let's go first."
Chu Mohan frowned, and couldn't help asking, "The queen is leaving?"
Chu Wanxiang blinked her beautiful eyes, looked frightened, and hurriedly explained, "Brother Huang, the concubine is leaving, and the concubine will come to visit you and your mother another day." After speaking, he hurriedly walked out of the dormitory, took the palace door, and ordered the palace people to close the palace door.
"Imperial brother, the concubine is leaving!" After saying that, Chong Chu Mohan blessed his body, turned around and walked out of the Fengyi Palace.
Chu Mohan stared at Chu Wanxiang's distant back, his sword eyebrows twisted slightly, he thought for a moment, turned his head and instructed Lu Liudao: "Pass the decree, whoever dares to talk about the government will be punished with fifty!"
Chu Wanxiang rushed all the way to the imperial study, and saw that Chu Mohan was still reviewing the folds, so he retired from the palace people who were waiting in the hall and quietly approached the desk with tea. She stood beside Chu Mohan and watched, and saw that he lowered his head and concentrated, as if he didn't pay attention to her, so she leaned over and put the cup close to the tip of her nose and sniffed it, and suddenly felt a pungent fishy sweet smell rushing into her nose. She held back the tumbling nausea, sent the steaming tea to Chu Mohan, and said softly, "Your Majesty, drink tea to moisten your throat!"
"Hmm." Chu Mohan said without raising his head.
Chu Wanxiang smiled softly and slowly poured the tea into Chu Mohan's mouth.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Chu Mohan suddenly coughed violently, covering his chest, his face was pale, and his forehead was sweating.
"What's wrong with Your Majesty?" Chu Wanxiang asked in a panic.
"Queen!" Chu Mohan stretched out his hand to hold Chu Wanxiang's hand, and said with difficulty, "I ...... I suddenly felt uncomfortable......
Chu Wanxiang hurriedly ordered Lu Liu to ask for a doctor, and instructed the palace people to find a wet handkerchief and wipe the beads of sweat on Chu Mohan's forehead. She looked anxiously outside the hall, and suddenly heard a coquettish voice outside: "Chu Duyun, how dare you cheap girl be so unreasonable, let me go quickly."
"Presumptuous!" A majestic and domineering female voice sounded: "Dare to slander the queen in public! Come on, slap your mouth!".
"Your Majesty save the slaves, Your Majesty save the slaves and maids......" Then there was a terrible cry for mercy.
This was followed by a crackling slap and a shrill cry.
"Stop!" Chu Wanxiang called eagerly, her tone already tinged with a hint of trepidation: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
The door of the hall was pushed open, and Su Zhixue stumbled in, her dress was covered with dust, her makeup was much scattered, and her sideburns were messy. She was stopped by the palace maid just now, she struggled, and fell to the ground carelessly, but fortunately someone pulled her so that she didn't break her head, otherwise she would have passed out at this time.
Seeing this, Su Zhixue was frightened
One jump. Chu Wanxiang had already rushed out of the door: "Sister Su!"
"The concubines participate in Your Majesty and the Queen's Mother." Su Zhixue came back to her senses and hurriedly curtsied.
"Hurry up, Sister Su, what's going on?" Chu Wanxiang held her arms and couldn't wait to ask.
"Niangniang...... Su Zhixue wanted to speak and stopped, her eyes swept around the palace maids in the palace, and she quickly lowered her head: "The slave was careless, and she almost fell, which angered the concubine Niangniang, she ...... So she commanded the slave to slap her mouth. The slave and maid refused, and her maidservant scratched her wrist."
Chu Wanxiang gritted her teeth angrily: "This tricky and domineering woman!"
"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't understand......
Chu Mohan interrupted her words and said in a deep voice, "I had a good conversation with Miss Su, but she caused trouble. Queen, you can appease the crown princess, and I will teach her a lesson immediately."
Chu Wanxiang hurriedly nodded and said, "The concubine obeys."
Chu Mohan got up and walked out, and when he left, he glanced at Su Zhixue again: "Miss Su, I wronged you to wait a while."
After Chu Mohan left, Su Zhixue breathed a sigh of relief and said to Chu Wanxiang: "Don't blame the queen, the concubine has lost her temper, and the concubine should be punished."
Chu Wanxiang said with a smile: "You all go down, there is something in this palace to talk to Miss Su alone."
Su Zhixue immediately led the palace mermaids out and guarded the door.
"If the queen has something to say, just ask!"
Chu Wanxiang hesitated for a moment, and sighed lightly: "Just now, the concubine was eating in the side hall, and when she saw the concubine entering His Majesty's bedroom, she went over to take a look......
Su Zhixue showed a look of surprise, and then realized, "Have you ever heard them talk about something inside?"
Chu Wanxiang shook her head: "The concubine was at the door and didn't hear it."
"Oh!" Su Zhixue thought thoughtfully, "Since that's the case, the concubine doesn't have to worry." She turned and walked out of the side hall, all the way back to her palace. As soon as he walked into the house, he heard Chu Mulan's voice: "Auntie, that noble concubine seems to like the imperial brother."
"The emperor is heroic and extraordinary, how can a woman in the world not love?" Another voice replied, "Lan'er, let's stop thinking nonsense."
"But ......"
"Lan'er." Chu Mulan was about to say something, but another voice interrupted her: "The emperor is tired and sleeps in the imperial study today, don't bother him."
"Oh!" Chu Mulan pursed her lips: "Auntie, the imperial brother loves us the most, how can he marry someone else?" My father was also confused, and he actually wanted to pass on the throne to his brother."
"Shhhh Be quiet, don't talk nonsense about this, otherwise the queen will misunderstand."
Chu Mulan snorted and muttered, "Father is really partial!"
"Shhhh What do children know?"
"My father is also partial! He always protects his second brother!"
Su Zhixue listened, tears couldn't help but flow, so many years have passed, Chu Muchen is still alive in their hearts and will never forget.
She closed her eyes, hiding the sour pain in her sockets.
"Auntie, why doesn't my father like me?"
Chu Mulan's question hit the nail on the head, Su Zhixue didn't know how to answer, she was silent for a long time, and she lightly spit out three words: "Because your second brother ......"
"Second brother is a villain!" Chu Mulan scolded.
