Charm King Poison Queen

   Chapter 1304 [168]

Ning Yue gradually realized that when she came back from picking strawberries, the prince and herself were not as close as before. She should greet her or come to greet her, and she should sit and eat together when she should eat, but the feeling of cautiousness in her words became more and more obvious. There was a trace of alienation.

   "Empress Mother, I still have homework, so I'm going back to my room first." After dinner, Huangfu Che saluted Ning Yue respectfully.

  Ning Yue sighed softly: "Do you still have homework? Has Mrs. Chen increased her tasks recently? You are still young, do you want your mother to talk to Mrs. Chen?"

  Huangfu Che said solemnly: "Father works day and night, clothes and food, sons dare not be lazy, even if they can't share father's worries, they hope to follow father's example and be diligent in their homework."

  The words were tight, and even Ning Yue couldn't say anything. She touched his head, then looked at Huangfu who was in his arms and said, "Qing'er, do you want to go back with your brother?"

  Huangfu jumped on Ning Yue's lap, hugged Ning Yue's neck and said, "I want to play with the queen mother."

Ning Yue smiled knowingly: "It's okay, your brother has worked so hard, so you can relax, so that one or two become old masters, isn't it too boring for me to be a mother?" Looking at Dongmei again, she said : "You go with the prince. The prince has never been greedy for cold, and he will not ask people to change clothes when it is hot. Although it is April, it is surprisingly hot these few days. Remember to take care of it."

   "Yes." Dongmei agreed, and left the room with Huangfu Che.

  Huangfu Qing took advantage of Ning Yue's unpreparedness and secretly stuffed a candy into her mouth. When Ning Yue looked at her sternly, she shrank her neck, and then giggled embarrassedly.

  Ning Yue couldn't laugh or cry: "One came out of a mother's womb, one was so mature, and the other was so childish."

  Suddenly thought of Huangfuyan and Huangfushan, I'm afraid it was like this when I was a child.

  …

Perhaps Ning Yue felt extremely empty due to her son's alienation, and put all her shortcomings on her daughter. It was time to send her daughter back to the bedroom to rest, but she still didn't move. She just hugged her daughter and read a book. But at night, she is very quiet and obedient. Give her a bowl of rice soup, and she can sit in Ning Yue's arms for half an hour.

  Huangfu fell asleep while eating.

  Ning Yue brought clean gauze, dipped it in water, cleaned her daughter's mouth, and put her daughter on the bed.

   "Jane."

   Zhen'er stepped forward: "Your Majesty."

   "Order the imperial dining room to stew a bowl of bird's nest for the emperor, and a soup of tremella and lotus seeds for the prince."

"yes."

Zhen'er immediately went to the imperial dining room and had someone stew the bird's nest with rock sugar to send to the emperor. Tremella lotus seed soup was ready-made, and she personally delivered it to the prince's bedroom. When she returned to her room, she saw Ning Yue sitting alone on the bedside, looking at Huangfu's sleeping face , she paused, and said: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, and it's time for you to rest, servant girl, will you take the little princess over?"

  Ning Yue looked at the hourglass on the wall, and when Xu Shi was past, she said, "I will go by myself." As she spoke, she hugged Huangfu up.

  Huangfu Qing's face was small, but his body was chubby and heavy. Ning Yue was out of breath after carrying her for a while, and she was already sweating profusely when she finally put her on the bed.

  After covering her daughter with a quilt, she went to her son's study and saw that his son was still studying seriously: "Che'er, rest."

  Huangfu Che put down his book: "Yes, Queen Mother." He cleaned up the pens, ink, papers and inkstones on the table one by one. Although these were done by the palace servants, Ning Yue taught him since he was a child, so he was used to doing it by himself.

   "I haven't eaten the lotus seed soup yet." Ning Yue looked at the porcelain bowl on the table and said.

  Huangfu Che lowered his eyes: "My son is not hungry."

  Ning Yue's eyelashes trembled, and she smiled: "Then go to sleep quickly."

   "Yes, good night, empress mother, and my son will leave." Huangfu Che walked out of the study after finishing the salute in a proper manner.

  Ning Yue looked at the bowl of lotus seed soup that was gradually cooling down, and felt that her heart was also half cold.

Dongmei came up to meet Ning Yue and served Ning Yue for many years. With just one look from Ning Yue, she knew whether Ning Yue was happy or not. , Your Majesty, don’t worry about it.”

  Ning Yue shook her head: "I hope he is really strict with himself, and not creating a gap with me, a mother."

  …

Ning Yue didn't tell Xuan Yin about Huangfu Che's eccentricity. Xuan Yin was very strict with his son. If he knew that his son made her unhappy these days, he didn't know how to teach him a lesson. Little man, try to live the life of an adult , is already bitter enough.

In the blink of an eye, it entered June, and the weather became completely hot. Ning Yue accompanied Huangfu to pick grapes, and suffered a heatstroke. He was simply in the backyard of Jiaofang Hall, and there was no big disturbance, but the next time he went to pick grapes, It was discovered that Xuan Yin had asked someone to dismantle the grape shelf.

  Because of this matter, Huangfu cried for a long time, until Xuanyin personally took her to the royal orchard to pick a large basket of grapes.

  The matter of cutting down feudal vassals entered a white-hot stage, and Xuanyin became more and more busy. When Ning Yue fell asleep, he was in the imperial study; when Ning Yue woke up, he was still in the imperial study. Ning Yue would visit him occasionally, but not every time. Once, Ning Yue cooked a bowl of mung bean soup for him to relieve the heat. As soon as he walked to the door, he heard the sound of teacups breaking, followed by Xuan Yin sternly shouted: "Dare he? Really think I dare not touch them, don't you? Play tricks with me... I destroyed his nine clans!"

  Ning Yue took the soup and went back to the Jiaofang Hall silently. After that, she never went to the Imperial Study Room again.

It is said that the vassal kings in the west and the northern vassals rebelled together and proclaimed themselves kings at the border. military prostitute. The ministers of the DPRK and China recommended all kinds of plans, which were nothing more than the protection of officials and officials. They suggested that Xuanyin should mainly appease and beat him as a supplement.

After all, behind them, there are all the support of the vassal kings. Each vassal king is like a huge consortium. The oil and water are used to support the officials and their minions of the court. The vassals fell, and the direct victims were the ministers who received huge "service fees" from them every year.

Xuanyin did not refute the words of the ministers, but only smiled and said, "I will definitely put the safety of the people first". The ministers thought that Xuanyin had compromised with them, but within a month, eight hundred people came from the northwest. Li Ji Bao - The Western Fanwai and the northern vassals were assassinated, and their mansions were also brutally slaughtered. From centenarians to three-year-old children, no one survived. The only living thing was a lame A one-legged guard dog, but the dog didn't live more than three days before it was braised and eaten.

  In the hall, there was silence.

Xuanyin sat on the dragon chair, and said sadly: "I have prepared the documents for pardoning them, and the eunuchs I sent to announce the decree are also ready. But at this juncture, they have suffered such a disaster. God is really jealous of talents. Heaven is jealous of talents!"

  He almost cried, but everyone could see the bloodthirsty excitement and satisfaction in his eyes.

   This is a madman!

   A lunatic who will do anything to achieve his goal!

Xuan Yin ordered Rong Qing to find out who was behind the assassination of the king of the two vassals. Rong Qing took the order, but the process of catching the real murderer was "extremely difficult", and no clues were found for several years. It's something later.

Since the tragedy of the kings of the two vassals, no one in the court dared to quarrel with Xuanyin anymore. As the saying goes, those who are tough are afraid of being violent, and those who are violent are afraid of death. Xuanyin is weak and easy to bully, now that Xuanyin suddenly made such a move, no one would dare to go up and do that desperate thing.

Walking out of the Golden Luan Hall, Chen Guogong was in a very good mood. When he met Geng Qingyun, he smiled and said hello: "Brother Geng is in such a hurry to go home, is he going to burn paper for your brother? Think about it, anyway, you brothers, you are the best!" He spared no effort to help you when he was in trouble, but when he was in trouble, you didn't seem to reciprocate, so that he won't be able to rest in peace, you should burn some paper money to express your affection for him!"

  Geng Qingyun was so angry that after getting into the carriage, an attendant handed him a list, his eyes moved, and he said, "The plan has changed."

  …

  This year, it was hot and cold quickly. Just entered August, there was an autumn thunderstorm, and there was a burst of autumn rain, which gradually produced a lot of coolness. Ning Yue ordered the Shang Palace Bureau to make a thin fox fur cloak for Xuanyin, with thicker shoulders, so that he could read the memorials at night without being frozen; he also made it for the children, who grow fast, and last year's clothes were as old as After not wearing it for two rounds, I replaced it with a new one; naturally the queen mother's side is also indispensable. After some busy work, the days passed quickly.

  In October, the weather is inexplicably cold.

  Ning Yue asked Dongmei to bring soup to Huangfu Che as usual, but Huangfu Che basically didn't drink it.

   On this day, Huangfu Che was sitting in the upper study room, and Taifu Chen was giving lectures for an hour every day, and he was asked to study by himself for half an hour. Huangfu Che never indulged himself to be lazy, but recently, he often did so.

   Chen Taifu was called away by Xuan Yin again.

  Huangfu Che stood up, excused himself to go to the toilet, turned around the corner of Gong's room, and slipped out of the upper study.

  He grew up in the imperial palace since he was a child, and he is very familiar with every plant and tree here. He came to a bedroom with ease, and the plaque said Yufangzhai.

Yufangzhai is the dormitory given to Xu Guiren by Xuanyin after he ascended the throne. It is used to store Xu Guiren's relics. There are not many palace people left here, and they are generally neglected. He came several times, and they all ate in the backyard. Wine was not found. But recently, a new **** came to Yufangzhai.

  The eunuch's name is Xiaodouzi. As the name suggests, he is round and round. His head, face, eyes, and big mouth are all round and cute, but his eyes are not confused. He is shrewd.

  Xiao Douzi is about seventeen or eighteen years old, when he is full of energy, his complexion is very rosy.

   "Your Highness, Your Highness!" Xiao Douzi waved at Huangfu Che with a look.

  Huangfu Che walked over.

  Xiaodouzi grabbed Xiaodouzi's hand, pulled him into the wing, closed the door, and said, "Your Highness hasn't been found?"

  Huangfu Che shook his head.

  Xiao Douzi chuckled: "I got a beautiful cricket a few days ago, and I was looking for an opportunity to dedicate it to His Highness. By chance, His Highness is here. Do you want to see it?"

  Huangfu Che nodded.

Xiaodouzi took out two bamboo tubes and a big bowl, and poured the crickets from the bamboo tubes into the bowl. Looking closely, the two crickets were not much different, except that one had red claws, and the other had black claws. Painted.

  Xiao Douzi pointed to the red-clawed cricket and said, "This one is called the Great General, and it was made by the servant after fifty rounds of fighting with others. The other one is called the Little Prince, and it was given by someone else. Which one does Your Highness want?"

  Huangfu Che pointed to the red-clawed cricket.

  Xiao Douzi smiled and said: "Okay, then the little prince is a slave, let's see who can win the fight today, I heard people say, the little prince has never lost."

  After speaking, he poked the crickets in the bowl with a stick, and the general and the young prince started fighting.

  Huangfu Che was very calm from the beginning to the end. The general won, but he was still very calm.

  Xiao Douzi put away the crickets, and asked him with a smile: "Your Highness, it's time to go back, and the Taifu will find out later."

  Huangfu Che did not move, pondered for a while, and asked, "Do you know Xu Guiren?"

   "I've seen it." Xiaodouzi said.

  Huangfu Che's eyes moved: "What kind of person is she? Is she good? Is she bad?"

Xiaodouzi scratched his head, thought about it, and said: "Well... how can I put it better? The slave was still young at the time, and he ran errands under the **** in charge of the East Palace, and I didn't meet her many times, but I heard from them, Xu Guiren She is very kind-hearted, why did His Highness suddenly ask her?"

  Huangfu Che said: "Just ask."

  Xiaodouzi opened the door, looked left and right, closed the door again, put the latch on and said, "If I were Your Highness, I wouldn't ask more about Mr. Xu."

  Huangfu Che looked at him firmly: "Why?"

  Xiao Douzi cleared his throat, and said cautiously: "The Empress will be unhappy."

   "Isn't Xu Guiren dead? Why is the queen mother still upset?" Huangfu Che asked in a general way.

  Xiao Douzi clicked his tongue: "Your Highness is still young, so I don't understand the thoughts of those girls."

   "Then you tell Gu, and Gu will understand."

   "This..." Xiaodouzi smiled mischievously, "I don't care about chewing my tongue in front of you."

  Huangfu Che threatened calmly: "You have already coaxed Gu to come out to fight crickets. If Gu just tells Father about this, your life will be lost."

  Xiaodouzi thumped and knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, spare me!"

  Huangfu Che said quietly: "Then tell me about Mr. Xu."

  Xiaodouzi pursed her mouth in aggrieved way: "If Your Highness really wants to listen, Xiaodouzi will tell you, but you have to promise Xiaodouzi that no one will know that Xiaodouzi said it."

   "Okay." After all, he is a child, and he is easier to talk than adults.

  Xiao Douzi rubbed his neck and said bitterly: "What does Your Highness want to know about Xu Guiren?"

   "Anything is fine, tell Gu everything you know." Huangfu Che's expression was very calm, but there was an undeniable persistence.

Xiaodouzi said: "Actually, I don't know much about this servant. When I first entered the palace, nobleman Xu came. This servant is just a sweeper. I was assigned to take care of the yard in the side hall of nobleman Xu. She seldom goes out, and usually raises her baby in the house. Oh, you may not know that Xu Guiren was originally without a status, and she came to Nanjiang only after she was pregnant. Do you know Nanjiang? Our place is called Nanjiang .”

  Many children do not know their country when they are young.

  Huangfu Che said: "Gu is the prince."

Xiaodouzi laughed dryly: "That's right, you are the prince of Southern Xinjiang, so of course you know about this." He continued what he had said just now: "My servant heard from the sisters of the court ladies that Xu Guiren is from Xiliang, and he is from the same hometown as the empress. Hmm... the same house... Well, Mrs. Xu is a servant girl of the empress's natal family. I heard that she is loved by the emperor. Not coming to the southern border to join the emperor. At that time, the emperor had not ascended the throne, and the empress did not cover the sky with one hand. The empress dowager made the decision to let Xu Guiren stay. The servant said so much...can you understand?"

  A child who is less than five years old.

  Huangfu Che said with a gloomy gaze, "You continue."

Xiaodouzi coughed lightly, and said: "Mr. Xu Gui came from Xiliang. She was already pregnant with Liujia at that time, and she was not suitable for the exhaustion of boats and cars. She was bumpy for so long, and her body was damaged by the bumps. She has not recovered after giving birth. The queen I don't want to see her either. When she first arrived and was not born, the queen had a big fight with the emperor, saying that if there is a noble person, there will be no noble person, and if there is her, there will be no noble person. The Empress Dowager was furious, and the Emperor was also furious, and they had a quarrel with the Empress. The Empress lived in Zhuangzi for several months and did not return during the Chinese New Year.

  Xu Guiren was very sad and blamed himself. He thought that he had affected the relationship between the emperor and the queen, and he became depressed and became more and more ill. But Mrs. Xu Gui is very kind in his heart, he never takes pride in being favored, and he treats us servants very well, unlike the empress, who always keeps a straight face and does wrong things, and is either scolded or punished, Xu Guiren never scolded the slaves!

It must be the time of Chinese New Year. The queen mother was afraid that this year would be uneasy, so she specially asked the emperor to find the queen back. The emperor was still angry and refused to go. It was Xu Guiren who dragged his sick body to persuade the emperor. Concubine Zhang Taihuang and Concubine Liu Taihuang are both here, His Highness can ask them, Xu Guiren really persuaded them!

   Xu Guiren treated the Empress so well, but after the Empress returned to the palace, it was said that she only saw her briefly. Since then, she had no words to her, and she was not allowed to come to pay her respects. Not long after, Xu Guiren died of illness. "

   "What about the child she gave birth to?" Huangfu Che asked suddenly.

Xiaodouzi was shocked first, and then, as if realizing something, he kowtowed repeatedly: "Damn it, **** it! Damn it! You are talking nonsense just now! Please don't take it to heart, Your Highness! Slave...slave...you are blind It’s all made up! It’s all just for the fun of coaxing His Highness! Your Highness, don’t believe it! Your Highness! Your Highness..."

  Huangfu Che walked out of Yufangzhai.

  …

  Ning Yue was making a short coat for Huangfu Che in the house, and she was sewing, feeling a little bored. Looking out the window, the sky was gray and there was not a single white cloud, so she walked in a line and said, "Dongmei, Dongmei!"

   It was Zhen'er who came: "Your Majesty, Sister Dongmei has gone to the House of Internal Affairs to collect satin. Do you have any orders?"

   "The weather is a bit stuffy, I don't know what's going on with the prince, will he be sleepy." Ning Yue cut off the thread.

   Zhen'er said: "Slaves, go and have a look."

  Ning Yue thought for a while: "Forget it, I will go in person, pack that box of fruit, and give it to Mrs. Chen." Chen Jiao loves to eat.

   Zhen'er knocked the small purple-red fruit into the snack box.

  The two went to the study.

Going to the study room is a quiet place. In addition to teaching, I occasionally have to analyze the current situation and secrets with the prince. This is not to ask for the prince’s opinion, but to allow the prince to adapt to the status of the crown prince in advance. Moreover, the prince himself I can understand it too.

  There are not many guards here.

  Ning Yue frowned slightly, but when she thought of her son's self-discipline and felt that even if no one was guarding him, he would not neglect his homework, he felt a little relieved.

  She entered the door with her front foot, and with her back foot, Chen Taifu came. Chen Taifu cupped his hands and bowed: "My minister bows to my mother, and my mother is Jin'an."

   "Let's make peace with Taifu, did the emperor ask Taifu to discuss political affairs again?" Ning Yue asked with a smile.

Chen Taifu heard her dissatisfaction, knowing that she didn't want to teach the prince while accompanying the emperor in handling government affairs, he secretly complained, in fact, the previous princes had only one and a half hours of homework in the morning, and Prince Che was too early to be smart, The emperor only asked him to stay for half an hour for self-study. It was self-study, not teaching. He didn't need to be there at all. On the other hand, they think that he should accompany the prince for half an hour—

   Crying bitterly in his heart, he dared not lose respect on the face, "There are some things about the feudal land that need to be discussed."

  Ning Yue laughed and went in.

  There is no one in the classroom.

   Ning Yue frowned, and said to Zhen'er, "Go to Gongfang to look for it."

   "Yes." Zhen'er went to Gong's room, and replied: "Your Majesty, no."

   Taifu Chen was taken aback, why is there no one in the classroom? To be honest, the little prince never went to the toilet in class, and there was no one in the classroom, which probably meant that he was no longer in the study.

  Ning Yue's cold eyes tightened slightly, and she looked at him: "Teacher, what's going on?"

  Chen Taifu turned pale with fright: "I don't know, when I was called by the emperor to go to the imperial study, His Royal Highness was still sitting here practicing calligraphy! I'm going to ask them now!"

  The upper study room is a small pavilion with its own courtyard. In the past, there was one **** guarding the gate, one **** who cleaned the house, one **** who entered the library, one **** who made tea, and no court ladies.

  Because the upper study room is affiliated to the imperial study room, Xiao Dezi is also in charge, but Xiao Dezi is often by Xuanyin's side, and rarely appears in the upper study room.

   Chen Taifu asked the four eunuchs, none of them saw the prince going out, only the **** of Zangshuge said that he heard the prince's footsteps, and went to Gongfang.

   "Does the prince often go to the toilet in class recently?" Ning Yue asked sharply.

  Zangshuge **** said: "It's not too often."

   This is more than once or twice.

   Mrs. Chen gasped: "Why? When I was here, he didn't ask to go to the toilet in class..."

  The **** of Cangshu Pavilion said again: "Usually only go to self-study class."

   "Why didn't you tell me?" Taifu Chen was about to die of anger, he is also a lecturer after all, right? After all, the prince is also his student, right? If something happened to a student, shouldn't he be the first to report it to the lecturer? What are these slaves doing with their salaries? Is it possible that you really think that there are a few odd jobs in the study room? It's not because they are honest and unambiguous that they are allowed to stay here!

The **** of Zangshu Pavilion said in a low voice: "My servant is thinking, after all, the prince is still young, and he is also playful. He didn't dare to play in the past, but now he may be bold, and sometimes he can't sit still in the self-study class, so... just... I didn't say anything." , kept it a secret."

In fact, he was afraid of offending the prince and being retaliated by the prince. He can tell the truth, but if the prince is annoyed, he can find any excuse to send him off and make his life worse than death. Of course he would not do it for such a trivial matter. To touch the crown prince's mold—

   Of course, this is not his responsibility alone. Did the **** who guards the gate have **** in his eyes? So a big living person slipped away from under his nose, and he couldn't see it?

   This may not be the first time the prince has slipped out.

  Thinking of this, Ning Yue became irritable, and immediately asked someone to call Xiao Dezi.

  Xiao Dezi didn't say anything, and slapped himself a few times: "The slave is not good at doing things! The slave deserves to die!"

   "You deserve to die, but you are the person bestowed upon Xuanyin by the late emperor, and Xuanyin dare not touch you easily, let alone this palace!" Ning Yue said sarcastically.

  Xiao Dezi knelt down on the ground, and said in a daze: "Your Majesty sees clearly, this servant has no heart to be proud of being favored! This servant really did not expect such a thing to happen! This servant is negligent! Please punish me!"

"Punishment? I want to chop you up right now!" Ning Yue said sharply, Xiao Dezi shook violently, Ning Yue took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said, "Find the prince. "

"Yes!" Xiao Dezi rushed out of the upper study room, thought of something, quickly turned back, and ordered the four eunuchs in the upper study room to be escorted to the Department of Punishment. Regardless of whether the prince can be found or not, None of them survived.

   Until dark, Xiao Dezi did not find the whereabouts of the prince.

  The palace is so big, of course it is impossible to find all the places in one afternoon, but the question is, why does the prince want to go to a place that they can't find? Was the prince lost or did he hide himself on purpose?

  A child less than five years old, isn’t he hungry, thirsty, or afraid?

  Where did you have lunch? How about dinner?

  It is windy at night, and the clothes in the morning already look thin. How should I keep out the cold?

  Ning Yue was very anxious.

  Xuan Yin came back from the imperial study, and said hurriedly: "What's the matter? I heard that the prince is missing?"

  Ning Yue said with red eye circles: "I've been looking for it all afternoon, and I don't know where he went. He is usually the most obedient. Could it be... something happened?"

   "He can even fool the **** who went to the study, who can get him? He is smart, and nothing will happen." Xuan Yin comforted.

  Ning Yue asked sadly: "If something happened, why did you hide?"

   Xuanyin didn't know.

  He has been busy with government affairs recently, and rarely sees his wife and children. He eats three meals a day, and two meals are in the imperial study. He hardly feels the change of the prince. At this moment, he suddenly regretted that he was so busy managing state affairs, but in the end neglected his own child, was it not worth the gain?

   "It's because I'm too busy, he's probably mad at me."

  Ning Yue thought for a while, then shook her head: "I'm not mad at you." It was me.

   Xuanyin held his hand: "Don't blame yourself, I will send more people to look for it." After speaking, he ordered Xuanjiang to lead the imperial army to search the palace closely.

  Huangfu sat leaning on the stool, her calf hanging in the air, shaking her head down, not daring to look into the eyes of her father, queen and queen.

  Mother Mo Ruomu, the daughter-in-law, the little guy who usually clamors for sweets, is uncharacteristically quiet, which is really suspicious. Ning Yue narrowed her eyes: "Qing'er, do you know where your brother is?"

   "I don't know." Huangfu said childishly.

  Ning Yue walked up to her, squatted down, and looked at her at the same level: "Looking into the eyes of the queen mother, I really don't know where my brother has gone?"

  Huangfu tried his best to look into Ning Yue's eyes, his eyes were extremely flustered.

  Ning Yue lowered her eyes, smiled, and asked, "I know it even if you don't tell me. In fact, Che'er told me a long time ago, so I'll go find him right away."

   "What? Brother Huang, how could he tell you the secret of washing the washroom? Brother Huang is a big liar! Hmph! I will never play with Brother Huang again!" Huangfu walked away angrily.

  Ning Yue and Xuan Yin looked at each other, and went to the washing room tacitly.

   There is actually a dog hole in the wash room, hidden behind a pile of weeds.

"Heh." Ning Yue looked at the court ladies kneeling in front of her, and smiled coldly, "Is it my stinginess or the royal family's financial constraints, and no one reported such a big hole? I'm afraid I won't be able to repair one Hole?"

  The maids were trembling with fright.

After all, Ning Yue was an empress, and she knew this kind of trick to deceive the world, and she was angry again, so she said bluntly: "Stealing and selling items in the palace is a capital offense, and private contact with people outside the palace is also a capital offense." , no matter what you handed over is money or information, if this palace catches you, be careful!"

  A court lady fainted from fright.

  Ning Yue handed this over to Dongmei, while she and Xuanyin went out of the palace to look for the prince.

  …

  Huangfu Che walked alone on the noisy street. Those streets that he thought he was familiar with turned out to be so strange to walk on. Isn't it the difference between sitting in a carriage and being submerged in the crowd? It is so big.

   "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" A peddler pushing a cart full of oranges came towards him and scolded Huangfu Che mercilessly.

  Strange, when I usually ride in a carriage, although there are many people on the street, there has never been any chaos. Everyone is very polite, you are humble and orderly—

   "How much is a bun?" An old woman in patched clothes asked the stall owner.

  The stall owner said: "Two cents a piece!"

   "I...I only have one penny, can I buy a small one?" the old woman asked with inferiority.

  The stall owner said impatiently: "If you have no money, get out! Get out! Dirty old woman, don't hinder my business!"

  The old woman was pushed aside by the stall owner, looking very embarrassed.

Huangfu Che was even more surprised. If he remembered correctly, he also bought steamed buns from this store last time. When buying steamed stuffed buns, he happened to meet a very poor old man who said he had no money. He told the old man that every night, he would prepare a few steamed buns with love for the orphaned and widowed old people who had lost their homes. At that time, he felt that the stall owner was really enthusiastic—

  The old woman was probably too hungry, so she grabbed a bun while the stall owner was unprepared.

  The stall owner quickly chased after him.

  The old woman was beaten up and the steamed stuffed bun was dirty. The stall owner relieved himself and went back to the stall.

The bruised and bruised grandmother picked up the dirty bun, climbed up with difficulty, and limped into a small alley. There, there was a two-year-old boy who was blind and was **** to prevent him from running around. On an iron pillar, he blankly sucked his dirty fingers.

  The old grandma handed the bun to the little boy, and the little boy ate happily. He couldn't see grandma's bruised nose and swollen face, nor could he see grandma's deformed bones.

  Huangfu Che didn't know how he left and where he went. When he came back to his senses, the sky was already completely dark.

  He looked at the fragrant noodle shop and swallowed.

   "Your Highness!"

  A small hand patted him on the shoulder, and he subconsciously pressed the opponent's hand, turned around, and pushed the opponent to the ground.

   is a little girl.

  Her face paled: "Your Highness, it's me! Geng Xiaoxi!"

  Huangfu Che let go of his hand, stood up, and cupped his hands: "I offended you."

  Geng Xiaoxi got up, patted the dust on the skirt, smiled bitterly and said: "I'm fine, His Royal Highness is still so young, but his martial arts are already so good, I'm so happy for His Highness!"

  Huangfu Che didn't speak.

Geng Xiaoxi said again: "By the way, Your Highness, why are you wandering outside alone? I saw a figure from the back that looked like you just now, and I was afraid to admit that I was wrong. I didn't dare to go forward. I walked two blocks with you before I was sure." It's yours! Where's the empress and the princess? They're not with you?"

  Huangfu Che ignored her, turned around and left.

  Geng Xiaoxi blocked his way: "Your Highness, we finally met, let's have a meal together! My father caught a new sea bass, and said that the stewed fish is very fresh!"

  Huangfu Che was hungry.

  Geng Xiaoxi took his hand and pointed to the opposite river bank: "Did you see that painting boat? It belongs to our family! It's very close, Your Highness, let's discuss to have a meal on the boat!"

   "Both Duke Ding and your father are there?" Huangfu Che asked.

Geng Xiaoxi smiled and shook her head: "No, grandpa went to the theater, and my father was playing leaf cards with his colleagues. The nanny brought me out to play! Does Your Highness want to see them? But I think it's so boring if the adults are there! They We are always not allowed to do this, we are not allowed to do that, I don’t know how annoying it is!”

  Huangfu Che and Geng Xiaoxi boarded the boat.

   Sea bass soup is really delicious, Huangfu Che used a bowl, and he couldn't get enough of it.

  Geng Xiaoxi hurriedly filled another bowl for him, and said softly: "This is not a palace, if Your Highness likes it, eat more!"

  Huangfu Che moved his index finger, but he still didn't reach for the chopsticks.

  Geng Xiaoxi took a spoonful and fed it to his lips: "Huh?"

  Huangfu Che's eyes flickered.

Geng Xiaoxi smiled and said: "Eat, it's okay, I won't tell others what your Highness ate here! I heard from my grandfather that eating in the palace has strict rules, and you often don't have enough to eat. You should treat it as a holiday for yourself." , Open your stomach and eat once!"

  Huangfu Che sucked the spoon.

  Geng Xiaoxi squinted and smiled, and said: "Actually, sea bass is just a very common dish, and there are many, many delicious ones. Nanny!"

  Nurse walked forward slowly: "Miss."

  Geng Xiaoxi said lively and politely: "Can I trouble you? We want to eat meat skewers and chicken drumsticks in honey sauce!"

The nanny responded with a smile, and ordered the kitchen staff to make deep-fried meat skewers and chicken drumsticks in honey sauce. Ning Yue has always forbidden the children to eat things that are too greasy and fat, so such crispy meat, such fat and tender chicken drumsticks, It was something Huangfu Che had never eaten since he was born.

  Huangfu Che swallowed.

  Geng Xiaoxi handed a bunch of meat to him: "Try it, Your Highness?"

  Huangfu Che leaned back nervously.

  Geng Xiaoxi stood up and fed the meat skewers into his mouth: "It's really delicious, Your Highness!"

  Huangfu Che took a small bite.

   "Is it delicious?" Geng Xiaoxi asked with a smile.

  Huangfu Che nodded slightly.

  Geng Xiaoxi picked up another piece of fat and tender chicken thigh with chopsticks: "This one is more delicious, it's fat and tender."

   This was the most supportive meal Huangfu Che had ever eaten. In the end, he just lay on the deck covered with blankets, unable to get up.

  Geng Xiaoxi lay beside him, looking up at the endless starry sky, and said with a smile, "Does your Highness think today's food is delicious?"

"Ok."

  Geng Xiaoxi smiled smartly: "Then, starting tomorrow, I will go to learn art from a teacher."

"Ok?"

Geng Xiaoxi said seriously: "Because Your Highness likes to eat, I want to learn. I think His Highness can have a delicious meal every day after finishing his official duties." The nearly seven-year-old child said these gentle words, I don't think it violates half of it.

  Huangfu Che looked away, his eyes revealing the complexity of death: "After finishing the official business alone, there are meals from the imperial dining room, which are cooked by others, so I can't eat alone."

  Geng Xiaoxi turned over, propped himself up on his elbows, looked at Huangfu Che steadfastly and said, "When I become His Highness's imperial concubine, His Highness will be able to eat the meals I cook."

   "Imperial concubine?" Huangfu Che revealed the confusion and ignorance of this age, "Like Xu Guiren?"

   "Huh?" This time, it was Geng Xiaoxi's turn to be confused, "What did you say, Your Highness?"

   "I will die." Huangfu Che murmured softly.

  Geng Xiaoxi became more and more confused, and opened his big round eyes: "What will die?"

   "The imperial concubine will die, only the empress, and in the palace, there can only be empresses." Huangfu Che turned around and closed his eyes.
