Daughter of Hou's Mansion

There was no waiter, Xing Youyou made tea by himself, and there was a set of tea sets on the table, and there was no need to prepare anything else. Xing Youyou's fingers were very beautiful, and his gestures were smooth and flowing, which was pleasing to the eye. Shangguan Hao remembered that Xing Youyou When Youyou first married him, she often made tea for him. Her method of making tea was learned from Lingnan, which is different from the one in Shangjing. After drinking a lot, I gradually got used to the taste after drinking for a long time.

The hot air gradually blurred Xing Youyou's focused face, Shangguan Hao moved his fingers slightly, but quickly restrained that subconscious movement.

"Your Majesty, please use tea." After a while, Xing Youyou held the tea and handed it to Shangguan Hao.

Shangguan Hao showed no extra expression. He took it and took a sip, but gradually frowned. The taste of this tea was not the same as before, but more like the way of making tea in Shangjing. The way of tea has changed.

"The concubine didn't know that the emperor doesn't eat honey before, and the emperor never said it. It wasn't until a few days ago that my mother told me about this issue." Xing Youyou doesn't like the astringent taste of tea, so every time you make tea, you will pour it into it. Put a spoonful of honey, when they just got married, she wished she could share everything she likes with Shangguan Hao. Shangguan Hao never said his likes in front of her, and she always explored them by herself. She always took it for granted that he I like it, until a few days ago when Xuan Shi entered the palace and mentioned Shangguan Hao's habit of not eating honey, I suddenly realized that it seemed that she had never really understood him.

Perhaps he has always just wanted a qualified wife, no matter if this person is her or not, as long as that person has a family status comparable to hers, can contribute to his journey to the throne, and can take care of the inner house so that he will not give it to him. Adding to the chaos, he is satisfied.

Xing Youyou's heart felt slightly astringent. It was only after these years of marriage that she realized that she was actually the most innocent one. Throughout the ages, there are only empresses who respect each other as guests, but there are few empresses who sympathize with each other. In fact, she I really envy Wei Qingluan, a person like Shangguanjue treats her wholeheartedly, that only love is probably making all the women in the world jealous.

Shangguan Hao put the tea aside, he doesn't like to eat sweet things, but Xing Youyou only put a small spoonful of seasoning in the tea, he might not be used to it at first, but over time he has actually gotten used to the slightly sweet taste smell.

"The previous one was very good." Shangguan Hao's tone was always calm and reserved.

Xing Youyou was a little dumb, and raised his eyes: "The emperor means that you like the taste of the tea I made before?"

Shangguan Hao nodded in response.

Xing Youyou tentatively asked, "Why don't we cook a pot again?"

"En." It was still a one-word answer, and Xing Youyou suddenly felt that the haze covering her heart had faded a bit.

Just about to pour out the original tea, she saw Sang Qing walking in with a serious face: "I would like to report to the emperor, empress empress, Xiao Dezi from Zhongcui Palace, please see me."

Xing Youyou's hand holding the tea cup sank slightly, but his face remained calm: "Let him in."

Now living in Zhongcui Palace is Concubine Jing, the biological mother of the eldest son of the emperor. This Concubine Jing's surname is Ma, and her father is a second-rank official in the court. She was selected into the palace during the first draft. The word is Jing, she was promoted from talent to concubine in just one year, and then became the first pregnant woman in the harem. After giving birth to the prince, she was promoted to the concubine position, which can be said to be infinitely honored.

But after a while, Xiao Dezi walked in with a bowed body, knelt down and greeted the emperor and empress.

"What's the matter with you?" Xing Youyou knew that Shangguan Hao had always been taciturn, and he didn't directly make things difficult for others.

"Your Majesty, the Eldest Prince is not feeling well and is clamoring to see you, so Concubine Jing asked the servants to ask about it." Xiao Dezi's words were smooth, obviously this was not the first time he had done such a thing. The concubine did not use the body of the eldest son of the emperor to speak less, after all, he was his first son, and Shangguan Hao also valued this son very much. It was the first time that people arrived.

"Have you hired an imperial physician?" Xing Youyou's voice was very calm, maybe she should be a worthy empress, as long as she doesn't have extravagant expectations for those things, the days ahead are not that difficult.

"The imperial doctor has already seen it and prescribed the medicine, but the eldest prince refuses to take it. Concubine Jing has no choice but to let the servant ask to see the emperor." Xiao Dezi did not dare to put on airs in Qifeng Palace, after all, no matter what It is said that all queens are queens, and the respect they deserve must be given.

Xing Youyou nodded when he heard the words, and naturally looked at Shangguan Hao at the side, but seeing that his face was still frozen, he couldn't help thinking to himself, with such a silent temperament, he didn't know what happened to those people underneath She has speculated about his preferences for so many years, but she has never found a way, and now she is tired.

"Since that's the case, the emperor should go and see the eldest prince." Xing Youyou said generously, if he didn't express his attitude at this time, the Xuan clan would find a reason to enter the palace to teach her the so-called virtues of women.

Xiao Dezi was overjoyed, he didn't want the queen to be so talkative, but thinking about it, the queen has not heard any news from her stomach for so many years, and under the ancestral rules of having no descendants, their eldest prince is the future prince , the queen's future honor and favor can't be compared with that of Concubine Jing.

Shangguan Hao's eyes darkened slightly, he turned his face to look at Xing Youyou, but saw that she always had a generous smile on her face, as if he was just an insignificant object to her, and could be pushed to others at will, Shangguan Hao felt a little uncomfortable, and even his complexion was not very good-looking.

This kind of feeling of anger in my heart is not good to send to Xing Youyou, so I had to say to Xiao Dezi: "I am not an imperial doctor, let alone how to treat illnesses. If Concubine Jing can't even take care of a child, why don't you just take care of me?" Don't take it."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone including Xing Youyou was taken aback, Shangguan Hao was cold when he was cold, but he rarely said harsh words to women, and this was not the first time Concubine Jing borrowed the matter of the eldest prince, Shangguan A few times before, Hao also went to Zhongcui Palace with Concubine Jing's heart to save face, which also aroused Concubine Jing's arrogance, but those women's status is lower than Concubine Jing's, and Concubine Jing gave birth to the eldest prince Since she didn't dare to provoke her, at most she would talk bitterly behind her back, of course Xing Youyou knew about these things, that's why she told the emperor to visit the eldest prince, but she didn't want the emperor to get angry suddenly.

The expression on Xiao Dezi's face froze, and his blood faded after hearing the meaning of the emperor's words, and he kowtowed repeatedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare."

"Get out—" Shangguan Hao's tone became more and more cold.

Xiao Dezi almost rolled and crawled out of Qifeng Palace.

For a moment the atmosphere condensed, and even Sang Qing's body stiffened. Although it was very satisfying to see the emperor scolding the people in Zhongcui Palace like this, the inexplicable anger of the emperor made people wonder how to bear it. Concubine Jing provoked the matter, so don't implicate her mother.

Seeing Shangguan Hao's dark face, Xing Youyou couldn't help persuading: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jing is also worried about the eldest prince, so why are you so angry?" Even Sang Qing couldn't bear the cold atmosphere, Not to mention the other people serving in the palace, only Cha Mei knelt down and collectively begged the emperor to appease his anger.

Concubine Jing is so humiliating to her that even if she dared to come to Qifeng Hall to rob someone, she wouldn't be angry, and even spoke up for her, she is really generous, or he is really nothing in her heart.Shangguan Hao's heart became more and more depressed, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only say in a vicious voice: "I'm hungry."

Xing Youyou was obviously taken aback, he couldn't keep up with Shangguan Hao's train of thought, but he seemed to be trying his best to suppress his anger, thinking that he should not pluck the furious lion, so he nodded to Sang Qing.

Sang Qing moved quickly, and in a short while, a table of dishes was prepared, thinking that when they were in the palace, the emperor and the empress would occasionally have a drink and serve a jug of wine thoughtfully.

After all the dishes were served, Shangguan Hao didn't wait for Xing Youyou, went straight to the table and sat down, and started eating by himself.

Xing Youyou became more and more surprised. She had never seen such Shangguan Hao before. In her heart, he had always been a calm and terrifying person who would never let his emotions show. Tempered child, what is he going to do?

Xing Youyou shook her head slightly, but walked forward slowly. These dishes were originally prepared for herself, and she did not expect Shangguan Hao to eat here.

The meal was incomparably silent, and Xing Youyou didn't speak during the meal, but silently ate a small bowl of rice to fill her stomach. She had the mentality not to provoke, but she didn't want Shangguan Hao to become more and more depressed. He couldn't swallow the food, so he had to pour himself wine, and the small pot of pear blossom brewed by Sang Qing soon entered his stomach.

"Your Majesty, drinking too much alcohol will hurt your health." Xing Youyou persuaded him somewhat disapprovingly.

But he didn't want Shangguan Hao to directly say to Sang Qing: "Put another pot."

Sang Qing secretly blamed herself for being troubled, and didn't know what happened to the emperor today, she just wanted to make trouble with the empress.

"I didn't hear that." Seeing Sang Qing's hesitation, Shangguan Hao accentuated his displeasure.

Xing Youyou nodded at Sang Qing, this Qifeng Palace would not be so stingy that he would not even give up a pot of wine, it was for the sake of his body, since he didn't appreciate it, then forget it.

Another jug ​​of wine was poured into his stomach, Shangguan Hao's ears were already slightly red, his capacity for alcohol is not very good, he would easily get drunk after drinking two jugs so quickly.

He staggered to his feet, and walked to Xing Youyou step by step. Perhaps because he was drunk, his deep eyes were clouded with moisture, and he stared straight at Xing Youyou.

Xing Youyou was originally sitting, but was forced to raise her head to meet Shangguan Hao's gaze, was she dazzled?She actually saw a trace of grievance in the eyes of this frosty man.
