This concubine can eat too!

The morning court still ended under the praises of the three princes from the officials. Song Huaxi straightened up and got off the dragon chair to leave the hall. On the way to Fukang Palace, there is even more joy in the eyes of Harvest Moon.

It was still early, so he and the crown prince were reviewing the memorials in the study, most likely the crown prince was approving, and he was beside him giving pointers, drinking herbal tea and eating herbal porridge.

In the past half month, when Song Ling was busy dealing with Xia Lie, even the empress behind him didn't bother him much, Song Huaxi was also happy and at ease, and the pain of the attack eased a lot.

Zhao Tong, who was guarding outside, saw the little eunuch he brought up running towards this side with small steps, and he knew that the person the emperor was waiting for should have entered the palace. As expected, the little eunuch reported to his ear, the palace gate There came the news that Princess Jin'an and her son-in-law had entered the palace.

Zhao Tong asked the little eunuch to prepare, he saluted the emperor softly with joy, and reported: "Your Majesty, Princess Jin'an and her son-in-law are back."

Song Huaxi, who was copying the scriptures quietly, paused the tip of the pen, and the ink tip melted away. He raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth, "Prepare some cakes that Jin An likes in the back garden, and I will have a good reunion with Jin An later. .”

"Hey, I'm going to prepare now, slave." Zhao Tong smiled and retreated to the door, then turned around and went to the imperial dining room in person.

Half a stick of incense passed by, outside the study door, Zhao Tong finally yelled in: "Your Majesty, Princess Jin'an and her son-in-law are out to see you."

"Let them in quickly." Song Huaxi copied a word of the last scripture and put down his writing brush. He couldn't wait to get down from the dragon seat. As soon as he got down, Jin An and that guy came in.

Song Ruolan got up early this morning, and after lunch, she led Gu Changyan out with a dark face on purpose. She was still angry with yesterday. In the carriage, Da Chiguai tried his best to act coquettishly. Only then did he get rid of his indifference towards Gu Changyan, and in the carriage where no one saw him, he kissed her at the request of Da Chiguai.

It has been less than a year since I left the palace, and I set foot here again today, which is both familiar and strange.

What is familiar is that her body remembers everything in the palace, including the nanny who trained her in palace etiquette and walking posture when she was young, and even her calves, waist and shoulders, as if at the moment she stepped in, Then I remembered the pain Mammy knocked down because of her bad posture.

The plants and trees in the palace seem to have remained the same, but they are somewhat different. What makes her feel a little strange is that the slaves in the palace seem to have changed a lot of newcomers. Each of them peeking over makes her a little uncomfortable. Sometimes, every time she passed by, the servant had to bow to her and salute her, shouting to see Princess Jin'an.

It's been a long time since I've heard the title of Princess Jin'an in the Hou Mansion. Die'er and other servants can simply call her Princess.

She used to be unwilling to marry someone far away, but on the day she got married, the moment she left the palace gate, Song Ruolan looked back at the red gate in the sedan chair, and she felt a sense of relief that she was always relieved.

Now going back to this forest that others look envious of, it is actually a forest full of all kinds of foxes. Song Ruolan, who has adapted to the wild and free wilderness, always reminds in her heart that every step should be more careful than before, otherwise, if you are not careful, you will lose weight. Or if there is no city, it will be swallowed up by the conspiracy and tricks inside.

Gu Changyan, who was following her, seemed to be at ease, as if she was out of the way, and looked at the very well-planted flowers and trees in the palace with a leisurely look, red and green, which made people feel very happy, but if she didn't hear those eunuchs and maids I believe she will be in a better mood after commenting on them after passing by.

Gu Changyan's ears are very good, and they can hear a little bit of what they whispered. Some are saying that Princess Jin'an's "son-in-law" is like a sick gentleman and scholar, not worthy of the princess, while others say that she looks soft and handsome, However, she still has the meaning of being thin and unfit to marry the princess, and even "curses" that she may soon make the princess a widow.

Pooh!Pooh!Pooh!You are the widow!

She leaned close to Song Ruolan, complained with aggrieved lips: "They all cursed that I would die soon, you will be a widow."

In the palace, Song Ruolan was in a tense state at every step. She gritted her teeth and pressed her voice with the smallest squirm and said, "This is the palace, don't talk nonsense."

To make fun of himself, Gu Changyan sighed, stopped talking and followed her silently.

When she came to the emperor's study room, she knelt down to salute like a princess. She knelt reluctantly, and said perfunctorily after kneeling: "My humble servant sees the emperor."

"Get up." Song Huaxi only glanced at Gu Changyan, and said to Zhao Tong: "Give me a seat."

They sat down with tea on the side, Song Ruolan looked at his father a few times, and said with some relief: "Father, how is your body recently? Jin An sees that Father's face is quite cheerful."

"But don't lose it. Father listens to the doctor's words very much. Move around more, eat less meat, drink up the medicine that is as bitter as lotus core, and your body can still hold on." Song Huaxi's serious face softened a lot , with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his bright black eyes were full of joy, with some old hands lightly covering those young hands.

In turn, Song Ruolan lightly shook her father's cool hand, she hadn't been this close to her father for a long time, the big palm in her memory was no longer the same.

The two fathers and daughters asked each other how the days were going, and at the same time tacitly avoided talking about the three princes and queens in the palace. The joy of returning after a long-distance marriage.

She was alone and drank a lot of tea as a little transparent lonely Changyan. She seemed to have nothing to do with herself, but inside she was listening to all directions. She found that many people outside the imperial study deliberately approached and eavesdropped, but I don't know if the eavesdropped conversations were all ordinary, and after a while they all quietly moved away a lot and went to work.

Song Huaxi prepared Longjing pastry in the Imperial Garden, and moved over after chatting in the Imperial Study Room. Before leaving, Gu Changyan took Song Huaxi's pulse. The pulse seemed to be heavier than the first time she took it, but the sores The deterioration was slower than she expected. It seemed that the old man really listened to the doctor's words.

She took out a bottle of medicine from her sleeve: "If you feel very painful, take one. I will write a prescription later. The emperor will ask someone to make a pill. Take one after breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. It will suppress the pain of sores." It can also relieve the pain, as for what the imperial doctor gave the emperor to eat and drink will not be affected, just take the medicine as usual."

"Changyan, you can't take medicine outside the palace..." Song Ruolan only found out today that Gu Changyan also knows medical skills, even if she knows a little bit, she can't give her father medicine indiscriminately.

Song Huaxi intercepted her words, put the bottle in his pocket, "Okay, Jin'an will be handed over to you, I don't worry."

"I promised the emperor, Changyan will naturally do it." She cupped her hands, her eyes determined.

In the past, she paid off the debt on behalf of her mother, but now she has a different mentality. Song Ruolan is someone she likes, so naturally she should not be hurt.

They moved to the Royal Garden, where tea and Song Ruolan's favorite cakes were prepared. After Gu Changyan sat down, he would not hesitate to order a piece first. The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus and sweetness tasted good, so she ate a piece naturally Another piece, Song Ruolan smiled when she saw this, and called Zhao Tong over.

"Eunuch Li, please ask the Imperial Dining Room to bring over more, as much as you can, the son-in-law loves to eat."

Eunuch Li was a little hesitant. He has been with the emperor for many years. Compared with the other servants who have just come in, he is still a little courageous, so he kindly reminded: "Back to the princess, seeing that lunch time is coming, I am afraid that the son-in-law will not be able to eat too much. Let the imperial dining room prepare delicacies."

Song Huaxi met Gu Changyan in the dormitory a year ago, and he didn't know Gu Changyan's eating habits. He nodded and persuaded: "Zhao Tong is right, it will be lunch soon, and the emperor asked them to Made a lot of your favorite food."

"Father, the son-in-law can eat, and she can eat it especially." Song Ruolan said while holding another piece of pastry for Gu Changyan, telling her to drink more tea to relieve her boredom.

Gu Changyan smiled sweetly, and patted the emperor's chest to reassure: "Your Majesty, don't worry~ I will eat as much as I have for lunch later, but it is good to send two more plates of sweet-scented osmanthus for now, and it is not advisable to eat too much sweets .”

Eunuch Li was still a little hesitant when he heard that he was giving away two more dishes, so he had to look at the emperor and ask with his eyes.

Here only Jin An has been with Gu Changyan the longest, and she should know how much she eats, so he nodded to Zhao Tong.

Zhao Tong is the chief eunuch in the palace, so he doesn't need to go to this kind of trivial matter. After stepping aside, he ordered his close eunuch to go to the imperial dining room to get sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. Fortunately, he ordered the imperial dining room to prepare more cakes. In case the princess comes back and likes to eat, you can eat two more bites, or if you can't finish eating, you can let her take it back to the mansion.

The little eunuch ran to the imperial dining room with quick steps and asked the cook for two plates of pastries, and also made an extra pot of hot tea on his own initiative and brought it back to Eunuch Li to serve to the emperor and the others.

The gossip brought up a game of chess in the middle of the family routine. This time, Zhao Tong personally went back to the imperial study with the little eunuch to take out the black black stone chessboard that the emperor loved. The two father and daughter played chess slowly, accompanied by the lonely Changyan understands a little bit, but the mothers are not proficient in chess, so she can only scratch the surface, at least she can understand the offensive and defensive duel between father and daughter.

She acted as a little servant by the side, occasionally brought tea for them, and did everything Zhao Tong should do. Zhao Tong couldn't say anything, seeing that the emperor didn't stop him, it was inconvenient for him to "snatch" the job back.

There was a game of chess, the first game was won by the emperor's father, Song Ruolan laughed and shook his head: "Why Jin'an still can't win the next game from the father, no, let's play another game."

"Okay." Song Huaxi raised the corners of his mouth happily, and he hasn't put down all his worries to play chess with Jin'an for a long time.

It's a pity that just after playing a few moves in the next game, the expected unexpected guest came over.

The maids and eunuchs sent by the queen to clean the imperial study room reported back. Jin An and Ren Moxian went to the emperor's imperial study room after entering the palace. The two father and daughter chatted about nothing special, they were all condolences after a long absence. Jin An is not from her. After becoming a country, she has to go and see the princess who came back.

She waited for a while until Song Ling entered the palace, then hurried over to the Imperial Garden to look for him.

Before anyone arrived, the eunuch in charge of the notification had already shouted loudly: "The empress is here!"

The father and daughter who were playing chess comfortably in the pavilion glanced at each other, and put down the chess piece with some regret. After a while, the queen and Song Ling arrived. Brother Three Emperors."

"My servant sees the empress, and the third prince." Although Gu Changyan is Song Ruolan's son-in-law, she has to kneel down in terms of etiquette.

Song Huaxi, who was watching from the sidelines, wiped off his cold sweat. Those who worship Jinshanzhuang have always been arrogant and never kneel down to others. To him, it is also because there are outsiders who kneel down. In private, they would never bow down to others like this Suddenly, he felt sorry for Leng Ji.

"Your Majesty, please, you are the princess' son-in-law, so there is no need to be too polite." The queen's phoenix eyes swept towards the people on the ground, her voice was soft and indifferent.

"Thank you, empress." Gu Changyan, with her head lowered, nuzzled, thinking to herself that if she doesn't give a big gift, this old woman will use the problem to play.

She got up from the ground and returned to Song Ruolan silently.

"Father and Jin'an are playing chess, did Father give Jin'an a hand?" Song Ling stepped forward and looked at the chess game on the eye stone case. It seemed that the game had just been played, and it was hard to see who had the upper hand.

In the palace, no one knows that Jin'an is very good at chess, but no matter how good he is, he has never been able to beat his father.

"How can the game be like a battlefield? You can play as you want." Song Huaxi caressed the beard on his chin, with a rare smile in his eyes. He remembered that when Jin An lost to him when he was a child, he would get angry. The appearance of the cheeks is very cute.

Song Ruolan also answered with a smile, "Hey, who said that the emperor loves Jin An the most? He is not willing to give up a game of chess, making Jin An a joke every time."

Her self-mockery made both the queen and Song Ling smile. With them joining, Song Huaxi gave Zhao Tong a look. Serve with a pot of hot tea.

Song Ling looked at the son-in-law who was sitting quietly next to Jin An, and remembered the rumored comments about this son-in-law. It was rumored that Ren Moxian was born prematurely, was ill since childhood, and couldn't leave the mansion for many years. When he saw it today, "he" His face is a little pale, his lips look reddish, he looks feminine and sickly, and his figure is thinner than ordinary men, like a gust of wind can blow "him" down

But the queen mother always told him that she felt that there was something wrong with this Ren Moxian. Although the information retrieved by the secret guards seemed to be fine, the queen mother suspected that he was the leader hidden by the father, otherwise she would not choose someone with no background for no reason. Come to marry Jin'an.

The queen mother also ordered him to let him try the other party's reality during the summer hunt the day after tomorrow.

"I'm going to summer hunting the day after tomorrow. I don't know if Marquis Ren has tried hunting before? Do you want to let you stay in the camp with the princess?" He took a sip from his teacup, and watched Ren Moxian's reaction carefully from the end of his eyes.

Gu Changyan laughed secretly, she guessed right, in Xia Lie, the two mother and son will definitely be demons.

She pretended to be ignorant and worried: "Back to the third prince, it's a bit impolite to say it. I was weak and sick since I was a child. My late father didn't want to give me a weapon/knife/get/gun. I have been recuperating in the mansion all year round. In the past two years Your health is better, you can go out and walk around, it's hard work for the princess to take care of the affairs of the mansion."

He stretched out his hand and wrapped Song Ruolan's hand in both palms, expressing his gratitude to the princess in front of him.

Song Ling pretended to be sympathetic, and was about to use his tricks to persuade "him" to try together at that time, when he heard the other party say this.

"However, I would like to try hunting, to see if I can hunt down a hare or a wild bird for the princess." Hmph, she wanted to test what the two mother and son thought.

"That's right. It's rare to come here. I have to try it. If I don't know how to shoot arrows, I can send someone to the mansion to give advice." Right in Song Ling's arms, he pushed the boat along.

Gu Changyan expressed his gratitude, holding up the teacup and replacing the wine with tea, "Thank you, Third Prince!"

Hunting the day after tomorrow, Song Ruolan originally wanted to use the name of Gu Changyan to stay in the camp because she was weak. She knew that two foxes, big and small, would play tricks during the hunting. Brother Huang would be unfavorable to Gu Changyan. Right now, the big eating monsters will automatically come to your door, so it's not good for her to let her not participate now.

On the other side, the queen observed Song Huaxi's face, as usual, she didn't show any impatience because Ling'er forced a man who couldn't even draw a bow into the water, she glanced a few more times and looked like a weak scholar Ren Moxian...

She always felt that this person was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Song Huaxi is an old fox, every step will be carefully planned by him, and he will not marry his beloved daughter to Ren Moxian hastily without reason.

The three big and small foxes were fighting each other, but Gu Changyan was at ease, and continued to eat all the pastries that were served with great interest.
