What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 24 Are You Fifteen?
As for Xie Chenyu, he obviously hadn't even heard of his name.

When he was a child, he was the imperial cook in the palace, and when he grew up, he went out of the palace to build a mansion and was also the cook of the Shang Palace Bureau. He was a dignified prince and never cared about these things.

Hearing these names for the first time, Xie Chenyu touched his nose.

"It's just something worthless among the people, and it's also worthy of my prince's appetite?"

"Worthy and worthy"

Lin Ximeng greeted Qingqing with a smile.

"Go to Zhang's mother at the back corner door, give her a few taels of silver and ask her to go to the Maji breakfast shop in the back street to buy some small wontons. Remember to ask for shrimps, put more sesame oil and mustard shreds, big shrimp skins, and seaweeds. whole piece"

Qingqing skillfully responded and left.

Lin Ximeng moved closer to Xie Chenyu, looked him up and down and shook her head.

"too skinny"

"I've searched all the dim sum and breakfast stalls in the three streets before and after our house, and Ma Kee's is the most authentic, especially the bowl of small wontons."

"Your Highness, you must try it. You can see that I have gained five or six catties without knowing it, and I can't even wear clothes."

Lin Ximeng babbled about homework.

Xie Chenyu was in a daze.

Suddenly, I felt that the queen's calculations and the brother-in-law's fight were overwhelmed by the world's fireworks.

Only fragments remain in the mind.

He suddenly floated up from a icy crack, where there is sunshine, rain and dew, the fragrance of birds and flowers, and there are all kinds of good things in the world.

Xie Chenyu didn't know when the corners of his lips curled up, and the corners of his eyes melted away.

"You still know a lot"

Lin Ximeng was proud: "That's right, people are like iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry?"

Xie Chenyu: "..."

For breakfast this day, Xie Chenyu had a rare appetite.

When going to the study in the front yard, Zhao Hai looked at the rosy-faced master, and his heart finally returned to his stomach.

He gave Miss Lin another high look in his heart.

Look, there are so many masters and masters in the backyard, only Miss Lin can satisfy the master.

-

Back in the study, Xie Chenyu practiced archery for a while as usual.

In the middle of the morning, when the weather was not so cold, he left the palace alone and rode his horse to the suburbs.

Xie Chenyu found the most remote temple in the outskirts of the mountains and forests. There are few people here, only a few old monks who don't care about world affairs and only know how to read scriptures and meditate every day.

He withdrew his gorgeous python pattern robe, took off the jade top and gold crown, wore a wooden hairpin and plain clothes, walked up the mountain, and knelt down devoutly in front of the Buddha.

Kowtowing one by one.

Every time I got up, the eye sockets became redder, until finally the forehead became red and the pupils were bloodshot.

No one knew what he was thinking.

Only the white-bearded old monk knocking on the wooden fish at Buddha's feet glanced at him and shook his head lightly.

"Young people, the Sri Lankan has passed away, you should cherish the people around you"

Xie Chenyu looked at the old monk with persistent and stubborn eyes.

"If Master knew about my experience, maybe he wouldn't say that. Some things don't end just by saying they're over."

The old monk shook his head and sighed softly.

After coming out of the Buddhist hall, Xie Chenyu went to the back mountain.

There is a small stream here, which is formed by the gathering of springs from the whole mountain. It is pure, white and clear. Occasionally, a small fish casts its reflection on the pebbles.

He sat down against a tree, took out a jug of wine from his bag, and sipped one after another facing the clear stream.

The cold and hot spirits flowed down his throat, choking Xie Chenyu to cough several times, and the tears that were suppressed in his eyes were finally about to burst out.

Xie Chenyu desperately looked up to the sky, but forcefully held back her tears.

After drinking strong alcohol, Xie Chenyu was slightly drunk.

He took out the white and flawless jade pendant from his close-fitting clothes.

The warm suet white jade has a creamy luster under the winter sun, and the delicate lines have been rubbed round.

Xie Chenyu stared at it for a long time, then put it in the palm of his hand and stroked it a thousand times.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and was cruel, and threw the suet jade pendant into the deep pool deep in the stream.

It was deep, pure and undisturbed, the cleanest place he could find.

"Mother, forgive my son for not being able to take you with me"

"Knowing that you died unjustly, my son will seek justice for you in this life!"

-

Back at the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Xie Chenyu returned to his rich and romantic appearance.

After the new year he was seventeen.

The empress once urged him to ask the emperor for an errand to practice, so he can't really be a idle king.

Xie Chenyu pondered for two whole days, and finally knocked on the door of the imperial study.

As the New Year approached, there were more and more disaster reports in various places, and the old emperor's head was swollen with criticism.

After two days of hard work and still no reduction, the old emperor finally lost his patience, and on the grounds that the dragon was ill, he pushed all the documents in the above table to the cabinet, and closed the door by himself to enjoy himself.

To the outside world, it is called, recuperate.

Xie Chenyu rushed to the imperial study room and asked to see his father, Liu Fu looked embarrassed.

"Your Highness Sixth, it's not that the slaves refuse to pass on the word, it's because the emperor has no time to spare."

"What is the father doing? The queen mother said that the hall is already seventeen, and she wants me to ask for an errand to practice next year."

Xie Chenyu leaned on the carved lacquer Panlong Tongtian Pillar, looking reluctant.

Liufu was about to cry, thinking that you would come sooner or later, but why are you coming at this time?
Xie Chenyu didn't bother to tell Liu Fuduo, so she just pushed him away and walked in, constantly shouting, "Father? Where are you? My son is here to greet you."

Liufu smiled uglier than crying, and said to his ancestors, please stop shouting, the old slave's head will be yelled off by you.

Xie Chenyu originally thought that his father would be lazy at most and would not go too far, but he was wrong after all.

Before entering the door, I heard a woman's panting inside.

Waiting for him to appear alive in front of the table in the imperial study.

Concubine Meng ran out from the room in a panic, her face was purple and she was putting on her clothes while running.

The old emperor slowly came out of the room with a face of reluctance, his old face stretched out.

"cough"

Coughing in embarrassment, he spoke with difficulty.

"Why is Lao Liu here at this time? I just finished approving the papers, and it happened that Concubine Meng came to deliver some snacks."

Halfway through the talk, I suddenly realized that I was the emperor and didn't need to explain anything to anyone.

He immediately stopped the topic and asked Xie Chenyu what's the matter here.

"Father, son understands"

Xie Chenyu, with an expression that I understand, stepped forward to share the old emperor's worries.

"If it weren't for the fact that the son is too useless, the father wouldn't have to be so tired."

"It's just right, my mother said that I will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year, and I should find an errand to practice my experience. Isn't my son here?"

It was rare for the old emperor to take a serious look at this son.

The sixth child who lost her mother early and was thinner than bean sprouts has grown into an adult.

He is nine feet tall, with a jade tree facing the wind, and a blue beard on his face.

"Have you left the palace to build a mansion?"

The old emperor asked casually.

"The son went out when he was 15 years old, and it was arranged by the Queen Mother at the Shang Palace Bureau"

"Are you already fifteen?" The old emperor was suddenly surprised.

Xie Chenyu's smile became brighter.

"My son will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year"

"Oh"

The old emperor coughed heavily, got up and walked around with his hands behind his back.

"Then it's time to find a job."
