Drunk Bamboo

Wind Palace.

"One of you is smiling, while the other is gloomy. You woke me up in a hurry. Isn't it just for this bowl of tofu pudding?"

Xie Yuzhu yawned and spoke in a questioning tone.

Hua Qinfeng smiled and said, "Eat the tofu pudding while it's hot. Try it now. I queued up at Wang Po's stall to buy it!"

Chaoyang, who was gloomy and sad, said: "In the morning court today, the Prime Minister, together with the officials of the Censorate and other institutions, spoke to Your Majesty in the Golden Hall on behalf of the prince, praising the prince for his great achievement in solving the Loushan case."

Xie Yuzhu smelled the aroma of tofu brain, swallowed her saliva, and prepared to pick up the spoon handed over by Hua Qinfeng. She said casually: "I heard that Sima Yang of the Censorate has a bad temper and is stubborn. Did he speak for the prince?"

Hua Qinfeng said earnestly: "He is also telling the truth, it's just a small matter, Chaoyang always likes to make a fuss. Come, eat the tofu pudding first, it will get cold later."

Xie Yuzhu, who had just woken up, nodded in a daze. Before she could even take a bite of the tofu pudding, Chaoyang immediately continued, "It is said that Lord Zhang went to Loushan with the prince, and the plan was arranged by Lord Zhang. It is also said that Lord Zhang has made an indispensable contribution. Why do all the officials only praise the prince and not even mention Lord Zhang? The prince was poisoned and assassinated, and the princess's antidote was attributed to the prince. It is reasonable for the prime minister to say a few words, but why did no one mention the protection of Master Gu? Princess, do you think there is a trick? Are they plotting against the prince again?"

The tofu pudding falls into the bowl.

Xie Yuzhu looked regretful.

Hua Qinfeng said loudly: "Chaoyang, you are too brave. I told you to let Yuzhu eat breakfast first. Don't you want her to eat the tofu pudding I bought?"

Seeing that he was furious, Chaoyang knelt down and said, "Your Majesty's behavior is too suspicious. I have to take it to heart. I heard what you and Master Zhang said. Your Majesty, please tell the princess everything! I am willing to be punished!"

This action completely angered Hua Qinfeng.

Xie Yuzhu, who was staring at the tofu pudding in a daze, raised his eyes slightly, and his confused look gradually became clear.

She clearly felt the air pressure around Hua Qinfeng drop.

His dark eyes were filled with anger as he stared at the person kneeling on the ground, and his fists on the table were clenched tightly.

He was suppressing the anger in his heart.

Word by word: "Chaoyang, do I make you worry so much?"

After experiencing the Loushan case, do you still think that he is the same as before, not caring about anything?

Chaoyang didn't dare to raise his head: "Subordinates..."

A cold voice passed by: "Chaoyang, the prince said that there is no master and servant in the mansion. Are you alienating the prince by doing this?"

Hua Qinfeng's attention shifted to Xie Yuzhu's face who had spoken.

Xie Yuzhu gently placed her hand on her clenched fist and smiled warmly.

The next moment, he turned to Chaoyang and said calmly, "Is this how you threaten the prince with things he didn't want to talk about in the past?"

She looked up, her eyes full of surprise: "Threat? No, Princess, no, how dare I threaten the prince?"

Hua Qinfeng's heart was suddenly shocked.

He heard the most beautiful sound he had ever heard in his life.

Slowing down her tone, she said, "When I first entered the palace, I felt that the prince was sometimes a little reckless and impulsive, but he always followed his heart and never thought of deceiving anyone. If he wanted to say something, he would say it. If he wanted to hide something, it was for the good of the people he cared about."

"Chaoyang, I have never doubted that you care about the prince. But the prince said that we should become strong, protect the palace, and protect all of us. We should believe him."

"You knelt down and called me your subordinate. Do you know how sad the prince was after hearing this?"

Chaoyang looked at Hua Qinfeng, his lips trembling slightly: "Your Majesty..."

The clenched fist gradually loosened and clasped with the slender five fingers.

Hua Qinfeng looked at Xie Yuzhu affectionately: You are enough to understand me.

Lowering his eyes, he said, "You have followed me since you were a child and grew up with me. Compared with Crown Prince Wen Wang, you are closer to me. Get up, don't kneel all the time, you haven't kneeled enough in front of outsiders. Don't you just want to hear what happened in the Golden Steps Palace? I was going to tell you when I got back, it's not a big deal, why worry? You are so young, but you have white hair on your temples, as if following me is tiring."

Chaoyang stood up, lowered his head, and said guiltily: "Your Majesty, Chaoyang knows he was wrong."

Xie Yuzhu pointed at a chair nearby and said, "So many bowls of tofu pudding, do you want me to finish them all by myself?"

Chaoyang sat down embarrassedly.

At this time, two girls came in from outside the door.

Bai Guo was holding a small dish: "And Yun Ling and I, we are both waiting with empty stomachs for the prince to bring back delicious food!"

Yun Ling held the buns and said, "Sister Baiguo prepared vegetable and meat buns."

Hua Qinfeng asked: "Where are Mammy and Lao Liu?"

"Lao Liu finished his meal early and is cleaning the yard. Madam is still resting. I'll bring it in later." Bai Guo sat opposite and left the seat next to Chao Yang for Yun Ling. "Do you also make mistakes?"

Chaoyang glanced at Yunling and said nothing.

Bai Guo leaned close to Xie Yuzhu's ear and said, "Princess, tell me quietly. Give him some face in front of Yun Ling. I will laugh at him in private."

Xie Yuzhu smiled and said, "Who in the palace is as steady as Chaoyang? The prince trusts Chaoyang the most."

She pouted, "Now even the princess is facing the sun, I'm just more lively and active. Everyone in the palace is steady, and they don't need me."

Hua Qinfeng patted his chest and said, "Just be yourself in the mansion. I'm here to protect you!"

Bai Guo was surprised: "Thanks to the princess, the prince is finally going to take on the responsibility of the head of the family. Now we don't have to worry about the sky falling, because the prince is here to support us."

Chaoyang was finally amused.

Yun Ling smiled slightly beside her.

Xie Yuzhu smiled at Hua Qinfeng very gently: "Bai Guo is right, if the sky falls, the prince will hold it up. We just need to eat breakfast in peace."

Hua Qinfeng smiled contentedly.

Several people were having breakfast together, chatting and laughing.

Hua Qinfeng told Bai Guo everything that happened in the Golden Stage Hall during the morning court session. Bai Guo listened with great interest and a smug look on his face, just like Hua Qinfeng walking on the street, feeling very proud.

Yunling had a face full of smiles.

Chaoyang looked serious as he looked at Xie Yuzhu's expression, waiting for her to express her opinion.

Hua Qinfeng straightened his collar and glanced at Xie Yuzhu: "To say that today is so smooth, most of it is Yuzhu's credit. The clothes you ordered people to make for me are really good. The ministers must think that my temperament has become similar to theirs, so they said those good things. Although, what they said is also true. However, I don't take it to heart, and I won't be arrogant. I just did what a prince should do. Everything is for the people on both sides of the river. There is nothing worthy of their praise."

Xie Yuzhu praised generously, "If it weren't for the prince's good figure and good looks, this dress would be nothing more than ordinary. Father and the officials should praise the prince. The prince is extremely brave and deserves all the praise. Moreover, the prince is so humble, not arrogant in victory or achievement. The best thing he did today was to resolve the knot with Lord Zhang that had lasted for many years. The prince is the best!"

Chaoyang, Baiguo and Yunling all looked up at Xie Yuzhu at the same time.

Is this a blatant favoritism on the part of the princess?!

Hua Qinfeng's eyes sparkled.

"Do you think I have a good figure and good looks?" He wanted to ask Xie Yuzhu in front of everyone.

"Of course. No one in Zhongdu City can compare to His Majesty." Xie Yuzhu did not hide her feelings at all, with a smile on her face.

Baiguo was so shocked that the chopsticks in his hand fell.

Hua Qinfeng took in all those pairs of astonished eyes and felt delighted.

He raised his head, full of confidence: "Those officials spoke according to my father's expression. I know it clearly in my heart. How could they deceive me?" He added, "I have a big temper. I don't bother to worry about Zhang Xinghe's matter."

"Yes. Your Majesty is smart and generous." Xie Yuzhu reached out and touched his hair, then picked up a big bun and put it in his bowl.

Hua Qinfeng looked proud and nodded proudly, and the next second he was eating a bun happily like a puppy.

I wouldn't trade any of the delicacies in the world for the vegetable and meat buns in front of me.
