Chapter 420: Involuntarily
Although the snow the day before yesterday was not heavy, it completely lost the color of the laurel trees in the Hanxiang Pavilion.
The branches that had been full of yellow flowers not long ago were now bare.
Even those laurel leaves, which were originally full of green, suddenly lost any vitality, and all hung among the branches, and began to shiver when blown by the cold wind of winter.
Hua Xiangjun stood in front of an open window, looking at the bleak scene in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
At this moment, Yu Wengang, who was dressed in a vermilion dragon robe, had already hurriedly entered the court.
When his eyes met Hua Xiangjun, who was standing in front of the window and sighing, his face, which was originally much gloomer than usual, suddenly became a little brighter again, and even a touch of imperceptible joy flashed in his eyes.
His footsteps did not stop, and he walked directly into the hall where Hua Xiangjun was standing.
As soon as he saw His Majesty the Emperor arrive, the palace people who were waiting in the hall hurriedly knelt down to give salutes, and then they all quietly withdrew.
Yu Wengang stepped forward quickly and raised his hand to stop Hua Xiangjun, who had turned around and wanted to bow to him.
His pair of eagle eyes greedily stared at Hua Xiangjun's delicate face like a flower, and when he saw her ruddy face and clear eyes, he couldn't help but say with a little joy: "I saw Xiangjun looking tired yesterday and didn't say much.
I thought you weren't well, and I was worried that you would get sick. Therefore, as soon as I was free today, I hurried over to have a look. Now that I'm okay with you, I'm relieved!"
Hua Xiangjun pursed his lips and smiled shallowly, "Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
"Then why did you sigh into the court?
Yu Wengang asked softly, his face full of unconcealable concern.
Hua Xiangjun shook his head slightly, lowered his eyes and said softly: "Sad autumn and sad spring, Xiangjun is not exempt from vulgarity." Seeing countless falling flowers in the court, I couldn't help but hurt myself, just like the falling flowers, I went away with the wind, and I couldn't make my own decisions at all. ”
Hearing this, Yu Wengang couldn't help frowning, and suddenly strode over and closed the open window.
Then, he turned around, looked at Hua Xiangjun, and persuaded in a tone full of pity: "Xiangjun is a strange woman in this world, and her ambitions are high, so why do you need to compare herself to the flowers?"
Hua Xiangjun just smiled and invited His Majesty the Emperor to sit down and watch the tea.
She glanced at Yu Wengang's face lightly, and said with a slight sigh: "There are four seasons in life, who does not go through the wind and rain?
Yu Wengang immediately put the white jade teacup in his hand on the desk, raised his head and sighed: "Xiangjun is really in one sentence! I think that I Yu Wengang is the dignified king of Darong, but I can't even mobilize a single soldier of Darong! Even a down-and-out eunuch who is not as good as a pig and a dog dares not to take me seriously!"
"Your Majesty is restless, is it still for the sake of yesterday?"
Hua Xiangjun's eyes drooped slightly, and he asked lightly.
"Alas!"
Yu Wengang couldn't help but sigh again, turned his head to look at Hua Xiangjun, but found that her eyes were staring at the white jade teacup in her hand, as if she was attracted by the delicate pattern carved on it.
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was so neglected again, Yu Wengang's heart couldn't help but feel even more unhappy.
But he knew very well that Hua Xiangjun was already cold. At this moment, it is not easy for her to be alone with herself, and listen to a few complaints that she can't make in front of others.
Consciously bored with a sip of tea, Yu Wengang finally couldn't help but call: "Xiangjun-"
Hua Xiangjun realized that he was wandering, and couldn't help but smile at Yu Wengang with a little apology, and said, "Your Majesty has just finished busy with political affairs, and I think there is some emptiness in my belly." It's not nearly noon yet, so why don't you have some snacks first?"
"It's-"
Yu Wengang actually has a stomach full of words to say to Hua Xiangjun, where is he still in the mood to use any dim sum?
But he suddenly thought that this should be the first time that Xiangjun took the initiative to stay in the Hanxiang Pavilion for a long time, and the opportunity was rare, and he really shouldn't live up to the kindness of the beauty.
So, he hurriedly smiled and nodded, and said, "It's so good! I don't know what delicious snacks Xiangjun has here?"
Hua Xiangjun pursed his lips and smiled, "If there is no good snack, how can Xiangjun dare to be ugly in front of His Majesty?"
"Oh?"
Yu Wengang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that today's Xiangjun seemed to be more beautiful than in the past, and her attitude towards herself was becoming more gentle and kind.
His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but swallow his saliva secretly, "Hearing Xiang Jun say this, I'm really a little impatient!
Hua Xiangjun couldn't help but purse his lips and smile again, and did not answer him, but slapped him gently.
A palace maid waiting outside the door walked in quickly when she heard the sound.
Hua Xiangjun instructed her to immediately present the dim sum she had just made in the kitchen.
The palace maid hurriedly agreed, and hurried down.
At this time, Yu Wengang couldn't help but whisper in surprise: "It turns out that these dim sum are actually made by Xiangjun himself! Could it be that you know that I will come today, so I specially made them for me to eat?"
Hearing that His Majesty the Emperor actually took himself so seriously, Hua Xiangjun almost laughed out loud on the spot, but finally held back, only showing a slightly shy smile on his face.
"These snacks are indeed prepared by Xiangjun for a long time. If Your Majesty doesn't come today, I'll send someone to send some to your Majesty.
Just because I saw His Majesty leave yesterday, I was disturbed and depressed, so I was a little worried that His Majesty was too focused on political affairs, so he neglected the regular tea and dinner, which would hurt the dragon's body. ”
Although these words were not what Yu Wengang wanted to hear the most, the surprise it brought him far exceeded expectations.
Xiangjun actually cares about him!
It's more important than anything else!
"Xiangjun!"
He called excitedly, and just wanted to take the opportunity to reach out to hold Hua Xiangjun's soft wattle, but was interrupted by the sound of footsteps outside the door.
I saw that the palace maid from Fang Cai walked in again, holding a beautiful dragon and phoenix gold box in her hand.
In the box, five or six delicate snacks are neatly arranged.
After the palace maid withdrew, Hua Xiangjun gently picked up the chopsticks, picked up a small snack from the box, and put it in front of Yu Wengang.
"This is a few small snacks made by me with the osmanthus flowers collected by the palace people and other dried fruits, please taste them. ”
Although it was unsuccessful in stealing incense, seeing that Xiangjun personally sandwiched the snacks she made for herself, Yu Wengang's heart still got some comfort.
He put the piece of dim sum into his mouth, and he felt that it was sweet but not greasy, fragrant and soft, and it was really a delicacy that even his own emperor, His Majesty, had never had the privilege of tasting.
Amazed by his admiration, he had forgotten the majesty and reserve of the emperor at this time, and with a long stretch of his arms, he took the box directly in front of him, and began to taste several other snacks with great interest.
As a result, he was pleasantly surprised to find that some of these snacks were slightly sour, some were slightly salty, and some were even slightly bitter.
But they all have their own flavors, melt in your mouth, and have an endless aftertaste, which makes you feel like you want to swallow your tongue together.
Seeing that Yu Wengang was eating happily, Hua Xiangjun couldn't help but smile and said, "Since Your Majesty likes it, I will ask the palace people to prepare two more boxes and bring them back for Your Majesty to eat slowly." ”
Yu Wengang nodded again and again when he heard this.
Then, Hua Xiangjun said casually: "Later, I will go to Cining Palace to ask for peace and send a few things to the Queen Mother to taste." ”
Thinking that he was choked on the snack he had just swallowed, Yu Wengang couldn't help coughing a few times in succession.
Hua Xiangjun hurriedly got up and brought him tea, and at the same time persuaded softly: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, drink some tea first to moisten your throat." ”
Yu Wengang took a big sip of it, then put the teacup on the table, and hurriedly said: "It's not that I'm in a hurry, but Xiangjun's words have reminded me that there is an extremely important thing I haven't told you!"
