Chapter 25: Warmth at Home
The king roared, all the guards were silent, and the originally noisy scene instantly quieted down, leaving only the queen who was holding Duobao and sobbing constantly.
When the king saw that the scene was calm, he roared again with undiminished anger: "What are you doing here, do you want to send you out in person?" The guards in a daze felt a chill in their hearts, saluted the king and hurriedly withdrew.
In the blink of an eye, the crowded guards disappeared completely. As the last of the guards departed, the king's leisurely words came from behind him like ghosts: "Wait a minute, close the door, and let the dining room serve the meal again, and all the ladies of the palace will withdraw, and they will not have to wait." Remember, there is no widow order that no one is allowed to disturb our family's meal. ”
As soon as the king's first words came out, the guard's whole body instantly stiffened, and he couldn't help but wail in his heart: "Zhang Xiaojian! Zhang Xiaojian! Why are you unlucky to go to the end, this time it's over, Your Majesty is going to take you under the knife! You just wait to bear Your Majesty's wrath!" Thinking in his heart, his face was full of "I am aggrieved", and his body stood stiffly at the door, waiting for the final judgment.
Just when this guard named Zhang Xiaojian was determined to accept this heavenly disaster, the king's words made this unlucky Zhang Xiaojian instantly breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense body also relaxed. A feeling of emptiness emanated from the inside out of his body, and his legs trembled a little as he stood.
The heart hanging in his throat also fell into his chest. Zhang Xiaojian subconsciously raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from nervousness. He replied with a slight trembling voice, "Yes, Your Majesty!" He walked out without looking back. Over here. He couldn't stay any longer. The atmosphere was really depressing.
Just closed the door, Zhang Xiaojian couldn't hold back any longer, and the whole person collapsed. With his back against the palace gate, the whole person kept wiping the sweat on his face, his mouth was snorting and panting, and his legs that collapsed to the ground were visibly trembling. Secretly saying that it was a fluke in his heart, Zhang Xiaojian swore that he would never be at the bottom in the future. It's so torturous.
After resting for a while, Zhang Xiaojian's violently beating heart calmed down a little. He struggled to stand up with the palace gate, looking at his trembling legs, Zhang Xiaojian smiled self-deprecatingly. Turning around with messy steps, he thought about the imperial dining room. The king explained that things must not go wrong, otherwise he would "not be able to eat and go away"
The picture flowed, and Zhang Xiaojian closed the palace door. The king withdrew his gaze, and the agility of his whole body was retracted. Just now, he was a domineering superior, but now he has become a harmless uncle next door. This change made Duobao on the side stunned. That's a lot of change.
As a monk, momentum is commonplace for Duobao. Although the king's momentum is much worse than his. But the king is a mortal, without a trace of cultivation, and the momentum of the mortal king is so amazing. Everything in heaven and earth is really elusive, mysterious and strange. constantly adjusted the appetite of these monks who pursued the truth of heaven and earth, and constantly gave them a hint of surprise.
For his father's momentum, Duobao couldn't help but be interested. He secretly paid attention: "When it's okay one day, I will definitely find out in person, the origin of this momentum is really varied." I hope to find out what is going on. If it helps me, it should help me. Thinking of this, Duobao couldn't help but look forward to the arrival of that moment.
At this time, the queen's excitement had subsided a lot, but she was still sobbing quietly in Duobao's arms. Duobao comforted his mother softly, and the king cautiously said, "Madam, when our son comes back, we should also enter the house, and we can't let the child stay outside." Besides, it's meal time, and my son hasn't eaten yet, you see?"
Hearing the king's words, the sobbing queen who was lying in Duobao's arms immediately stopped crying, raised her swollen eyes, gave the king a white look in anger, turned her head and took Duobao's hand and got up, and said, "Go, son." Let's go in and ignore you. After speaking, he pulled Duobao into the hall without looking back.
Duobao did not break free from his mother's hands, and he glanced at the king innocently, his eyes full of not my fault. The king looked at the queen who had left him, smiled helplessly, and stepped forward to enter the palace with the two little radish heads standing beside him in a daze.
Entering the inner hall, the queen's hand has not been scattered, and she pulls Duobao and keeps asking about the things of these years. Duobao didn't have the slightest impatience to explain to his mother at 1510 o'clock. The queen listened carefully to her son's narration, the expression on her face kept changing with Duobao's narration, and the hand holding Duobao's arm was also subconsciously deformed.
Regarding the pain in his arm, Duobao's face did not change, and his tone was still as if he had just now, which made people feel like a spring breeze. The king who followed also came back with two little radish heads, and the three of them did not disturb Duobao's speech, and sat quietly on the sidelines, listening to Duobao's narration.
Duobao has been gone for more than ten years, and a lot has happened in the past ten years. Even if I keep talking every day, I can't finish it for three years. But Duobao didn't feel a trace of irritability, he looked at his mother's face full of undisguised concern, Duobao felt a lot more steady, and couldn't help but tell his mother about his years of affairs.
One speaks, four listens. Soon more than an hour passed without anyone noticing. Just when everyone was still immersed in Duobao's magnificent experience over the years, a voice of lack of confidence woke everyone up from the story. Interrupted interest, the king's brows furrowed, the queen's face also flashed a trace of displeasure, and Duobao, as the protagonist, secretly shook the sweat on his forehead.
The king asked in an unkind tone, "What's the matter?" Didn't you say that you should not disturb the widow's family? ”
Zhang Xiaojian, who was standing outside the door, was now dead. He had just come to the queen's bedroom with the imperial dining room, looking at the palace door that he had closed with his own hands, his face twitched, and he looked at the queen's bedroom like a flood beast. Standing in the doorway hesitating, his heart was constantly fighting, thinking about whether to interrupt.
After standing at the door for five or six minutes, the hot meal also tends to get colder. Duobao glanced at the food, his heart was ruthless, his eyes closed, he raised his head and said inside, "Your Majesty." But as soon as His Majesty spoke, he didn't know how to go on, and the whole person was stuck there, and there was no sound.
He opened his mouth, but there was no sound in his throat. The atmosphere outside the entire palace gate was particularly solemn. Just when Zhang Xiaojian was nervous, the king's voice was like a heavenly sound, piercing out of the palace. Hearing the king's angry words, Zhang Xiaojian's nervous mood calmed down for a while.
"Your Majesty, the meal has arrived, would you like to eat now or later. Zhang Xiaojian exhaled slowly, slightly organized a language in his mind, and asked in a respectful tone and a gentle voice.
"Uh-huh, come in, we're hungry now. Hearing Zhang Xiaojian's answer, the king was slightly surprised, and then he reacted, and he glanced at the queen inquiringly. The queen glared at him angrily, and said, "Let them serve the food quickly!
When his wife said this, the king smiled wryly, looked up and roared outside. As soon as the words fell, there was a "squeak", the sound of opening the door came, and then a messy footstep came, and a group of palace maids holding trays of various formats walked in under the leadership of Zhang Xiaojian.
Zhang Xiaojian first saluted the king and queen, and then hurriedly commanded the palace maids to start picking up. A few minutes later, a table full of hearty meals was filled. Zhang Xiaojian waved his hand at the palace maid, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, if it's okay, I'll go out first." If you have something, you can just give me a command. ”
Hearing this, the king's eyes when he looked at Zhang Xiaojian changed a lot, and he bowed his head slightly and said, "Well, go down." I'll let you know if there's anything going on. At this, the king could not help but say, "Remember, no one can disturb me without my call, not even if the sky falls." ”
When Zhang Xiaojian heard this, he said, "Yes, Your Majesty." After speaking, he saluted the queen and the others, turned around and walked out of the palace gate, and closed the door softly and carefully.
Zhang Xiaojian left, Duobao retracted his gaze, and he said to the king: "Father, this guard is very good! I was afraid of you just now, but now I can get used to it." This kind of qualification and temperament are rare! What a talent!"
When the king heard his son's words, he couldn't help but smile and said, "That's it, you don't see whose subordinates it is." As soon as the words fell, the queen struck mercilessly: "Don't blow in front of your son, do you know what the guard is called?"
was picked up by the queen, the king was not angry, he smiled at Duobao and said, "Hungry, eat quickly." "Being so changed the subject by the king, the queen did not dwell on this issue.
stretched out his chopsticks and kept holding dishes for Duobao, and kept muttering: "Come and eat more for my son." I haven't eaten well in all these years of wandering. As he spoke, he sandwiched the chicken thighs that had been hungry for a long time between the two little radish heads and into Duobao's bowl.
The two little radish heads looked pitifully at the fat chicken legs, and the longing in their eyes was about to condense into substance. Duobao's eyes swept over the two little guys, and when he saw this expression, he couldn't help but smile. He stretched out his hand and put two large chicken legs into their bowls, turned to his parents and asked, "Mother, these are my two younger brothers and sisters?" ”
"Smack!" Hearing Duobao's question, the king slapped his forehead and said, "You see, I forgot to tell my son." Come," he pointed to the two little radish heads and introduced them to Duobao: "This is your younger brother, who is ten years old this year. This is your sister, who is five years old. ”
After speaking, he pointed to Duobao and introduced the two little guys: "This is your eldest brother." Call Big Brother quickly. (To be continued......)
