"Did you bring anything for royal father to eat?" Having gained the upper hand, Imperial Concubine Mei was naturally happy. No matter how much she disliked being small, she couldn't lose her face in front of the empress.
"Mufei, blessings!" Xiaoxiao bowed towards Imperial Concubine Mei, causing the empress to look at her with jealousy.
"Alright!" Imperial Concubine Mei wondered why Qi'er was nowhere to be seen now that Xiaoxiao had returned.
Could it be that Qi'er …
No! That won't happen, Qi'er definitely wouldn't abandon him. She must have wanted him to come back first, and he would soon be in the palace.
A wave of nervousness, but she didn't dare to ask, causing the expression on her face to stiffen.
"Mufei, Master said to have Xiaoxiao return first. He'll be returning to the palace very soon, so mufei and royal father shouldn't worry too much." Xiaoxiao was of course not foolish, but she could see Imperial Concubine Mei's scruples with a single glance. By saying so, not only would Imperial Concubine Mei be more polite in the future, she would also find a bad reason for her to stay.
"Qi'er left for a long time this time. Father also misses her. Right now, this child only knows to work tirelessly for the Azure Dragon."
Mentioning Xuanyuan Zhi, even Xuanyuan Zhenhua felt that something was wrong. Qi'er had always been a filial child. Even when she went out, she would tell Eunuch Lin that there would still be letters after a long time. However, he left for such a long time this time. Could it be that something dangerous happened and he knew about it but didn't dare to say anything?
"The Crown Prince was just worried about your health so he asked Xiaoxiao to come back quickly. He'll be back soon. " Xiao Xiao didn't want to see his father's sorrowful expression. Looking at his appearance, it seemed that his body was fine. Perhaps Ran'er really did put some sleeping pills in his food.
But why did he do this?
She stole another glance at the empress, and was surprised to discover that the two women were communicating through their eyes.
Crap!
Why were they on the same side?
Deep in thought, her eyebrows twitched, and she began to feel nervous.
"Little girl, where have you been these past few days? Are there any big gains? " When Xuanyuan Zhenhua saw Xiaoxiao, he felt much more comfortable. Even his nerves were not as tense as before.
"Father, I have been to many places and seen many things that I have never seen before." After saying that, she crouched down and picked up the plate on the ground. Laughing, she walked over to the bed, made a face at Snowball, and then smiled adorably at the Emperor.
"Then tell me first, what is this little thing?" Xuanyuan Zhenhua stroked the meek snowball in his arms with interest, stroking its head felt like it was very close to him.
"Hehe!" Ye Zichen smiled. Luckily, this little thing knew how to see the wind and steer the wind. Otherwise, it would truly be finished.
Raising the plate in her hands above her head, she said with a mysterious look on her face, "Royal father, can you let the little girls wash your clothes first, and try out some of the things you've done before slowly telling you who the little thing is?"
"Hahaha!" "Hahaha!"
Apparently, Xiaoxiao thought of herself as a child. However, Xuanyuan Zhenhua was delighted. Rather than watching the two women get jealous, it was better to talk to Little Treasure. After stroking his long beard, he touched his face again. He felt as if he had slept too much and his body was stiff.
Putting the little thing on the bed and getting off it, he stretched out his arms and moved his neck. He felt as if his body was being bound by something.
How could this be?
His mind was a blur as he thought about how he hadn't had any beautiful dreams circling around him during these sleeping days. That kind of realm was something that he had never been able to reach before.
It seemed that someone had poisoned him.
Who is it?
She looked sharply at the empress, who smiled hypocritically. This woman who had always hated him, what could he not do?
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" The empress looked at him with a guilty conscience. She wriggled her waist and leaned against the emperor, trying her best to avoid their gazes.
"Ai …" Old, old, and my eyes are starting to blur. " The Emperor waved his hand and wiped his eyes.
"Royal father, how are you old? Look, you are mentally shaken and your face is flushed red." As he spoke, he forcefully pulled his father away from the empress and pulled him to the mirror.
By the side, the empress was so infuriated that she almost jumped up, causing Imperial Concubine Mei to laugh out loud from her schadenfreude.
Imperial Concubine Mei shot a sidelong glance at the empress, then said in a low voice as she brushed past her, "My son isn't by my side. It's not bad having a daughter-in-law. Anyway, the emperor dotes on her, we're all family."
"You!" The empress gritted her teeth, wishing she could slap her in the face.
"What's wrong with me?" Imperial Concubine Mei was extremely arrogant, as if her son had died and was fighting alone. Not only that, but just as she was getting ready to go, she said, "Did I say something wrong? Big sister, don't think too highly of yourself sometimes.
After she finished speaking, she hummed twice and walked proudly to Xuanyuan Zhenhua's side, singing the same tune with him. This made the happy Xuanyuan Zhenhua even more so.
The empress stood in place. She wanted to leave immediately, but she couldn't take it anymore. Moreover, the Emperor had finally woken up with great difficulty. No matter how dissatisfied she was, she didn't want to miss the chance to get along with him.
Xiu-Er cleaned the king and brought the hot soy milk that she had grinded all morning to his father. "Father, drink it. It is natural that no food should be added. Drinking more will help your health."
Xuanyuan Zhenhua didn't understand the small advertisement passage. He was already hungry after not having eaten for the past two days and started gulping down the wine.
Seeing that the emperor was happily drinking, Xiaoxiao passed the fried dough sticks she had prepared in the morning to royal father's hand, then very impolitely bit one of them. She happily said, "Imperial Father, this is also very delicious!"
Xuanyuan Zhenhua took a bite out of his hand and looked at the long youtiao. There was a lot of food in the palace, but he had never seen this before.
Xiaoxiao accompanied the emperor as they ate. Furthermore, she ate with relish, causing the two women beside her to have somewhat of a mouth.
Seeing the father and daughter eating with relish, Imperial Concubine Mei, who had been joining in the fun, swallowed her saliva. She moved closer to the emperor and asked, "Your majesty, is this food delicious?"
"Delicious, delicious!" Come, let's give it a try! " Xuanyuan Zhenhua was still enjoying the meal, so he reached out to grab a piece of the plate and handed it to Imperial Concubine Mei.
It was greasy and a little dirty. Imperial Concubine Mei didn't want to take it, but since the words were already spoken and the emperor was handing her an item, how could she have the courage to not understand?
Not only that, but he had to laugh out loud as he caught the youtiao in his hand and bit it under two pairs of expectant eyes.
One bite, two bites …
She didn't expect it to be so delicious, so she couldn't stop eating.
"Is mufei tasty?" Xiaoxiao tilted her head as she looked at Mufei with a smile.
"Delicious!" It's so delicious, I didn't expect that little one could cook. " As Imperial Concubine Mei ate, she thought to herself that this thing didn't look good, so it tasted pretty good. Later on, he would ask this girl how to make it and have the servants cook it often in the future.
So it turned out that the old witch liked eating. It seemed that she would have a way to deal with the old witch in the future.
Now that she had a plan in her heart, she went closer and said very gently, "Mufei likes to eat it. I'll make it for you when I have time in the future." "This little one can cook a lot of food. Mufei, you look beautiful and your skin is also beautiful. If you match it with a small secret recipe passed down by your family, you will definitely be able to preserve your youth forever."
"Protect the youth forever?" Imperial Concubine Mei's eyes lit up when she heard this. It had to be said that every elderly woman had their own vital points, not to mention the woman accompanying the emperor. She was afraid that other women's beauty would surpass hers.
"That's right!" Mufei had forgotten that Little Miss came from Heavenly Maiden Mountain. It was covered in snow all year round, and the woman's skin inside was as tender as a flower. From generation to generation, the clan had taught them many ways to nurture their beauty. "Can you feel it? Is the skin soft?" She gently took Imperial Concubine Mei's hand and placed it on her face. These days she had been using the method that Feng Shaoyun had taught her outside of the palace. She had raised herself so white and tender.
Imperial Concubine Mei saw that her small face was tender enough, and her hands felt good. Presumably, what she said was true.
If that was the case, then he wouldn't have to treat this little girl like an elder brother in the future. His wife could refuse him, but he could not lose face. As long as he could protect his youth, what could that bitch do to him then?
"Right!?" This little one isn't lying to you, right? " She blinked her big, watery eyes. It was better to have one more friend in the palace than one more enemy. Moreover, the woman in front of him was his mother-in-law.
As the saying goes, the most troublesome thing in this world is a fiancée.
As long as he managed to establish a good relationship with his wife, Xuanyuan Qi would be able to bully him and he would be able to use more as a shield. Furthermore, the relationship between the Queen and Ran Er wasn't ordinary. It wasn't a good thing to have a single horse.
"Good!" Your Majesty, how fortunate do you think our Qi'er is? " Imperial Concubine Mei immediately changed her words. Her tone of voice was even more normal than if she had eaten honey. It was as if they were two people.
Xuanyuan Zhenhua finally felt like there was something to be happy about after he woke up. Seeing that her mother-in-law's relationship was better than it used to be, he felt quite happy in his heart. Lowering its head, it saw the little guy looking at its sweet mouth.
"Hahaha!"
The little thing's appearance made him laugh out loud. Seeing its pitiful appearance, he threw the half of the youtiao in his hand to it.
Snowball had never liked to bite into anything. Once he could, he would eat it. After seeing the youtiao become shorter, he quickly ate half of it.
Surprise!
Xuanyuan Zhenhua and Imperial Concubine Mei looked at each other and continued to stare at the snowball. Snowball blinked his eyes, licked the corner of his mouth, stretched out his little claws, and frankly continued to eat.
"Royal father, mufei, Snowball is very cute. Although her breed is not pure, she is definitely the best of the best." Even though she said so, she was cursing in her heart, [You little swindler really swindles others to death!]
"It's called a snowball, like! It's chubby, like a ball. " The more Xuanyuan Zhenhua looked at the snowball, the more he liked it, so he broke off half of the youtiao and threw it to it. Then, he opened his mouth and asked, "Little girl, you still haven't told royal father that this little thing was taken from there."
Uh!
You can't tell the truth, and you can't lie too much, or else it would be a bit embarrassing if you wore it.
Eyes wandering around, Xiaoxiao picked up the snow ball that was about to be eaten and rubbed its round belly. She had thought of something, "Father, this little thing was found outside the city when I was passing by. At that time, Xiaoxiao thought it was an ordinary little dog and didn't want to bring it back. Unexpectedly, Little Thing followed Little Thing into the city. When I got to the city gate, I saw it lying on the ground exhausted, looking pitifully at Xiao Xiao, who carried it back in his arms. "
