The maid is the queen

Chapter 64 Close to His Heart

"Aqiu, here you are." He lowered his head and rummaged through the big bag again, and found the omelette wrapped in oil paper: "I bought it outside the palace." "It smells so good." The smell made my mouth water.

"People outside the palace like to eat this in the morning. Zhiqiu, you often eat it outside the palace. I can eat it no matter what."

I shook my head and said softly: "When I was outside the palace, my family was not rich, and I usually ate steamed buns while smelling the aroma."

He didn't pity or sympathize with me, but slapped me on the shoulder suddenly: "Actually, egg pancakes are not very delicious. I think women in the capital don't like to eat them, because they are afraid of getting fat. I want to eat steamed buns. It's also good." , can eat your floating body bones."

I burst out laughing: "A buoyant body?"

"Isn't that? You're so skinny, uh, when the wind and snow are heavy, you need to find a rope to carry you, in case the wind stops and you won't be able to find anyone."

I looked at him with a chuckle: "I'm going back, thank you very much."

He put on a face: "Why do you always thank me? I'm so embarrassed to thank you. I don't think I have done anything, but it's weird to be thanked all the time."

Really, I always want to laugh when I hear him talking, Yang Yang the egg cake in his hand: "It's very fragrant and delicious, of course I have to thank you, no thanks, next time I meet you, maybe I won't have to eat it."

The smile in his eyes lit up like a candle to light a lamp, and he patted the big bag on his waist: "There must be, let's go, we don't have freedom in the palace, let's go to our respective duties."

They each walked in different directions, but they felt a kind of bright happiness floating in their hearts.There are honest and honest people in the palace, as clean as snow, I like to say a few words with him, I will be happy, and I will feel that I have returned to the days when I never entered the palace. The past will never come back, it can only be witnessed by others.

Holding plum blossoms and eating the egg pancake in the snow, it was really delicious, even more delicious than the delicacies in the palace. After waiting for a while, the two maids came out and went back together.

He hasn't gotten up yet, gently touching his face, it's slightly hot.

He opened his eyes, looked at me with a pool of soft blackness, and said softly, "Zhiqiu, I'm hungry."

You really know how to act like a baby, obviously there is father-in-law Zhang Luo waiting for you, and you have to wait for me to come back when you are hungry.

After waiting for him to wash his face, he refused to sit at the table and eat seriously, so he could only put vegetables in a bowl and slowly feed them to him.

"It smells like medicine." He moved his mouth away contemptuously.

Hungry but also very talkative, it seems that the father-in-law has a way, and he is not easy to fool, I put down the bowl: "Then don't eat, continue to be hungry."

He fell powerlessly on my shoulder, looking at me with sad eyes.

It made me feel powerless, and I sighed in my heart. He is so clingy, there is really nothing to do with him, I can't let him go, and I can't ignore him.

Put some green vegetables to his lips: "If you don't eat, some father-in-law will tell the queen mother in the evening, I don't think you will be happy to see the imperial doctor."

He opened his mouth and bit a few, and wrinkled his handsome face: "Bitter, bitter, bitter."

The little father-in-law came in with the soup, and he immediately sat upright again, with the coldness of an emperor on his face.

As soon as my father-in-law went out, he began to look at me with his mouth flattened.

Smiling angrily, thinking that I'm not his mother, why are you acting like a spoiled child to me.

The soup was served to him, and he said it was bitter after two sips, frowning and said, "If you don't believe me, try it."

"It smells good. There is only a little medicine in it, but I can't drink it. You always don't remember that you can't eat randomly when you are pregnant." He has no restrictions, but I can only remember myself.

He took the soup and drank it in a big gulp, then handed me the bowl: "I'm done drinking, what a lot to talk about."

His thin crimson lips were still stained with oil, and the tip of his nose was sweating a little. I naturally wiped him off with a handkerchief, and he threw himself into my arms, saying happily: "I It’s nice to be sick this time.”

"..." I was speechless, I watched him dumbfounded, he was crazy.

Toss it, toss it hard, he must have been a good boy when he was a child, and restrained all the viciousness, but now he is a bad boy, tossing and making troubles out of his temper.

He would wake up in the middle of the night and shake me awake by the way: "Zhiqiu, I suddenly want to eat glutinous rice balls, and I want to eat something made by you."

People don't know and think I'm so delicate. In the middle of the night, I asked the cook to prepare the ingredients and dishes, and then brought them to this small residence. I made dumplings and boiled them in water. He looked at it with his chin propped up cutely.

I don't have much opinion of him anymore, really, all opinions are tossed away.

He said, Zhiqiu, I want to eat the dumplings made by you, so the palace made them for him like crazy, but he was too embarrassed to say that he wanted to eat them, so he ordered to make a bowl of vegetarian dumplings for Fengyi, but it turned out When it was delivered, he tilted his head and fell asleep again.

The glutinous rice balls are rolled in boiling water, the water is bubbling, and the heat is also rising.

Like a curious child, he blinked and looked at my glutinous rice balls at the table, those black eyes seemed to be far away.

I rubbed down the last dumpling and wiped my hands with a wet towel.

When the glutinous rice balls float up quickly, it is cooked.

He put a few in a bowl and said, "Eat quickly, go to bed early after eating." Tomorrow he has to get up and go to bed early, and he will still be a devil when he comes back.

"I'm really reluctant to eat it." He murmured softly, holding a spoon to fill up the glutinous rice balls and staring at it deeply.

I don't understand, he is an emperor, he just orders what he wants to eat, but he says he is not willing to eat.

But I really don't have the energy to control him, I'm so tired that I'm about to collapse.

Even if he was sick, he wouldn't allow me to feel better, and he didn't go anywhere else, and he came back straight away, and the first thing he said when he fell on the bed was: "Zhiqiu, I'm so uncomfortable."

Who doesn't suffer from illness, he deserves to be told not to take medicine.

No wonder he said he would use medicine to kill me. This emperor is afraid of suffering.

It really made him exhausted, so he can watch as long as he likes, so I climbed onto the bed and lay down tiredly.

After a while, he also came up, hugged me from behind, and whispered in my ear: "Zhiqiu, I was sick when I was young, and I was given medicine that I couldn't finish, and I was not allowed to eat whatever I wanted. , I actually don’t want to eat glutinous rice balls, I just want to see them. Xia Juntang was sick, and he said that he suddenly wanted to eat glutinous rice balls. His mother and concubine got up in the middle of the night and made them for him. My mother and queen would never make these for me, she asked I want to grow up and be capable, and sometimes I won’t allow it when I get sick, because I’m afraid that my body is not good enough, and outsiders will have more opinions, do you understand? Do you understand?”

I think, I get it.

Turning around to look at his beautiful facial features, the half-closed black eyes prevented me from seeing the past in his eyes clearly.I said softly, "I'm not complaining, as long as you like it."

It turned out that his growth also had his unhappiness.

His childhood was so simple and boring. He had to learn a lot, learn to be indifferent, learn to be capable, and learn how to stand out among his brothers.

"What about you?" He hugged me, bringing them closer.

I thought about my past and said softly: "My family is not well-off, but my mother is herding cattle and eating grass for me. She said that I have talent for the piano, and I like it too, so she spent all her savings , and sold several acres of land that my father left behind, and asked me to learn. She never forced me to do anything. I like to play in the mud in spring and come back completely muddy. I also like to chase in the fields in summer. The wind, chasing flying flowers and colorful butterflies, picking up a bag of wild fruits in autumn, and sneaking out in winter to watch other children play in the snow."

"That's great." He said lightly: "I never allow this, no matter it is spring, summer, autumn and winter, I can only study hard, learn to deal with some things, and practice martial arts. In short, there is no day when I will be free and seriously ill. Let the imperial doctor give me an injection and prescribe the medicine. I have to do what I have to do. The queen mother gave me the time. If I fail to do it, the queen mother will hit my palm. Occasionally one day, I saw white people in the hall where we lived. Rabbit, I couldn’t help running out to play for a while. Do you know how cute a rabbit is? It’s white, soft, with red eyes and long ears. When I touched it, it lay obediently on the ground When we had dinner at night, there was nothing on the table, only a plate of rabbit meat. The queen mother told me, you are not an ordinary child, you are a prince, if you are not outstanding now, you will have nothing in the future. I didn’t understand why at that time, but Eat the rabbit meat piece by piece."

He didn't go any further when he said this, and he tilted his head slightly, and buried it on my shoulder.

My heart became so soft, I held his hand with one hand and said, "I like rabbits very much too."

He chuckled and hugged me even tighter: "Zhiqiu, I like you more and more, I don't want you to get hurt, but I want you by my side, Zhiqiu, you must always be nice to me, you know?"

I still have to make progress, but at this time, I don't know anything, and the words he said penetrated into my heart.

He said he likes me many times, but my heart has never been at ease this time.

I believe that he likes me.

Trusting him also gave him the right to hurt me.

He still sleeps and doesn't get up until very late. He has been sick for so many days, and he may have a lot of affairs at home. At this time, he will come back.

The maid combed my hair and washed it without saying a word.

But, at this hour today, why didn't anyone bring breakfast?
I looked at the maid, who had a look of fear in her eyes, and looked outside the door.

I opened the door to see, but there were several nuns with stern faces standing, and there was a soft chair in the middle, where Concubine Li was sitting.

"Concubine Li is well." No matter how surprised she was, she hurriedly saluted.

She stood up, and Da Honggong lowered her slightly protruding belly, which was still unignorable, with a long and cold face: "Nurse, what time is it now?"

"If you go back to your mother, it's two quarters now."

"Read the palace rules to her." She turned around and watched the snowflakes flying down, with a stern look in the corners of her cold eyes, she raised her face proudly.

The mother on one side said: "All concubines must get up before the hour of the hour. Those who serve the bed should serve the emperor early. They must not snooze for a moment. They should do their best to pay their respects to the empress hall of the main palace. Now the emperor has not sealed the empress for the time being. It is a matter of the harem." , all will be taken care of by Concubine Li. If there is any violation of the palace rules, will it be dealt with strictly?"

"How to deal with it strictly?" Concubine Li asked coldly again.
