old queen

Chapter 102

"Your Majesty, no!" Yuner and the others yelled.Shaking his head resolutely, he just refused to let it go.

Still stop?The more they obstructed him, the more Mu Mingchun strengthened his belief.With a downcast face, she said coldly, "Get out of the way!"

"My lady..."

"Get out of the way, all of you." A low and deep child's voice suddenly sounded behind him, the girls who were going to try their best to persuade Mu Mingchun to dismiss their thoughts were taken aback for a moment, and when they looked back, they found that Long Rui had appeared at the door at some time.

"His Royal Highness!" Heaving a sigh of relief, several people hurriedly turned around to salute, and they found their backer intuitively.

"Excuse me." Raising his hand casually to let them get up, Long Rui came to Mu Mingchun, looked up at her, and said softly, "Queen, are you going out of the palace again?"

"Yes!" Mu Mingchun nodded.Looking at his face, which was as expressionless as his father's, she was ready in her heart to fight wits with her son.

"My son, let's go with you!" But no one ever thought, there was no objection, no obstruction, Long Rui opened his mouth to say these words, and Mu Mingchun almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

"Rui'er, you said, you want to leave the palace with me?" She was stunned for a while before looking down at her son's pretty little face, she asked in disbelief.

Long Rui nodded firmly. "That's right."

"Why did you suddenly want to go out with me again today?" Since taking him out that time, no matter how she tempted him, this kid just sat on a rock and refused to play outside the palace with her again. See The colorful world outside made her so depressed.But now, he actually offered to go out with her?There is a conspiracy, and the conspiracy must be big.

"I want to meet your new friend." Looking directly into her eyes, Long Rui said word by word.

I see.You want to help her identify whether this person is worth dating, right?no problem! "Okay! If you want to see him, just see him!" He took his little hand, "Let's go!"

With her son escorting her, these girls won't stop her, right?
I am the dividing line for kid Long Rui who is very upset

Seeing the mother and son who came hand in hand, Xue Rutao's faint and shy smile froze.He couldn't help but glanced at Long Rui twice more, he had a vague idea in his heart, but he still couldn't help asking: "Ma'am, who is this?"

"My son." Mu Mingchun raised his chin and said proudly, pushing his son forward, "Ruier, call me uncle."

"Uncle." Long Rui raised his head and called softly.It's a little weirdly well-behaved.

But Xue Rutao, who didn't know his true character, was deceived by the hypocrisy he temporarily pretended, and a smile appeared on his rough face. When he remembered that this person was Mu Mingchun's son, he became a little nervous again. He said stiffly: "What a good boy. Your name is Rui'er, right? What a good name."

"Of course, this is the title that the current crown prince uses." Long Rui said proudly without opening his eyes.Dare to say bad?Chopped you!
"So that's how it is!" Xue Rutao's eyes lit up and he suddenly realized, failing to understand the deep meaning in his words, "No wonder I think this name is so familiar! It really is a good name."

This person is really stupid!Rolling his eyes, Long Rui, who was successful in one fell swoop, felt that he had no sense of accomplishment.

this child!His son's stubborn, cute and a little proud performance made Mu Mingchun smile and narrow his eyes.She took her son and seated him on the side facing the window, and sat down opposite Xue Rutao herself. She smiled lightly and said softly: "The reason why I temporarily changed the place here today is because the child likes to eat the pastries here. I'm in a hurry, and I don't know if you like it or not. You...are you okay?"

"I don't have much time in the capital, so I haven't eaten here. But I've always heard that Tong Ji's pastries are delicious. It's good if I have a chance to try them today." Xue Rutao lowered his head and replied in a low voice, not daring to look directly at her. smile.

Yeah?Seeing his performance, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and a sneer appeared on his immature face, Long Rui said in a 'soft voice': "As far as I know, most of the pastries are sweet, which are generally most suitable for women and children You are a big man, you don't like to eat such sweet and greasy food, do you?"

"I don't really like it. However, it's okay to try it once in a while." Xue Rutao nodded honestly, but did not forget to add a sentence.

I can still say it.With a soft snort, Long Rui didn't start: "Well, you can try it once in a while today!" He will definitely let him 'ok, ok' to try it!

When everyone arrived, they returned to their seats and sat down. The waiter came in and said enthusiastically, "Guest officers, what would you like to eat?"

"Give us a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, a plate of rose cake, a plate of red date cake, a plate of plum cake, and a plate of mille-feuille." Without breathing, Long Rui read out the names of a large list of pastries.What's more, they all pick the kind of sweet ones that don't pay for their lives.

"Rui'er, order so much in one go, can you finish it?" Mu Mingchun was amazed at his son's ability to memorize the names of dishes, but a small question bubbled up in his heart, Mu Mingchun asked softly.She remembered that her son didn't have a strong appetite, and every time she bought him pastries to eat, he only needed one or two servings.But today, he actually ordered five servings in one go!What does he want?If you want to pack it and take it home, tell them to prepare it after you finish eating!
Long Rui smiled lightly, glanced at Xue Rutao who was diagonally opposite, and said lightly: "Isn't there someone else here? He is so tall and big, and he must eat a lot. I'm afraid these five plates of pastries are not enough for him." It's a gap between the teeth!"

It's not a question of whether the gap between the teeth can be filled, but that he is a big man. He said at the beginning that he was not very interested in desserts, so he just gave them a face and tasted it a little bit!Sighing in his heart, Mu Mingchun was a little speechless when he noticed the hostility emanating from his son.This hostility is definitely not aimed at her.Then, it can only be aimed at another person present.But, did Xue Rutao provoke him?He and Xue Rutao met for the first time today, right?

"Madam, since the young master likes to eat, he can order all of them. He doesn't have much money anyway. If he orders too much and he can't finish it, then I'll take care of the rest." With just a few words, he has been attacked three times in a row. If he still doesn't realize that Long Rui is targeting him, then he can really become a fairy.However, after all, he was too honest, Xue Rutao did not express any objection to Long Rui's words, instead he followed his words in a soft voice.

Hmph, he's still smart.With a soft snort, Long Rui turned his head and let him go for now.

"Guests, you ordered a plate of osmanthus cake, a plate of rose cake, a plate of red date cake, a plate of plum cake, and a plate of mille-feuille. Do you want anything else?" The waiter in the shop felt his teeth crumble when he read it, but he held back and continued to ask questions with professionalism.

"One more pot of Biluochun." Xue Rutao said.Just eat dessert, and his teeth don't need to be eaten after eating.

"Okay!" The waiter nodded, turned and left, "Guests, please wait a moment, the cakes and tea will be here soon!"

He said right away, and it was right away.In less than a cup of tea, five dishes of pastries that made people feel a little sick to their stomach just by smelling them were brought to the table.Fortunately, there is also a pot of Biluochun, which is fragrant and fragrant. The refreshing tea fragrance relieves the sweet and greasy taste of many pastries...

"General Xue, the cakes are here, please use them!" Long Rui took the lead in picking up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth. Long Rui made a gesture of invitation to Xue Rutao, and said in a low voice.

"Yes." Xue Rutao nodded, obediently took a piece and threw it into his mouth.However, after he swallowed the pastry and recalled what he said just now, he began to wonder again: Why did he say the word 'yes' again in response to Long Rui's words?Moreover, his mentality when speaking was more upright than when he was facing Mu Mingchun.

Slowly finished his piece of pastry, Long Rui cleared his throat, and said softly: "I heard that Xue Rutao, the general of Zhenguo, is skilled in martial arts and loyal to the country. He has guarded the border for many years and repelled the attacks of neighboring countries many times. You can allow other countries to occupy an inch of our land in the Phoenix Dynasty. When I saw you today, I found that you are tall and mighty, powerful and imposing. The Fenghuang Dynasty has you as a general. It is really a blessing from the heavens. It is very fortunate."

"Young master, I'm overwhelmed." Xue Rutao couldn't bear the unsparing praise.Shaking his head and raising his face, he said righteously, "Protecting the family and the country is what Xue should do as a subject of the Phoenix. The Xue family has been military generals for many years, and it has been the duty-bound responsibility of the Xue family to guard the border. , as a member of the Xue family, Xue must naturally do his duty and not lose the face of his ancestors."

"That's really good! The Xue family is very loyal, and it is really a blessing for our Phoenix Dynasty to have you here." Long Rui smiled lightly, took the lead in twisting another piece of rose ointment, and then greeted him, "Come on, Xue General, don't stop, keep eating pastries."

"Yes." Xue Rutao said, eating obediently.Although he couldn't stand the sweet taste accumulated in his mouth after eating two pieces of cakes, but for some reason, Long Rui's words of "don't stop" kept echoing in his ears, and he just took a piece of cake. , One piece, one piece after another, stuffed into his mouth until he felt disgusted but still couldn't stop. Yes, he reached for the plate again.

After eating his piece of rose cake, he seemed to feel a bit tired. Long Rui held the teacup and took a sip, then looked at Xue Rutao, and asked softly: "General Xue, may I ask, how old are you this year?"

"Twenty to two." Xue Rutao said, gnawing on the fifth piece of pastry with difficulty.

"Oh", Long Rui nodded, glanced at Mu Mingchun, and mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, "You are four years younger than my mother."

"Really?" Hearing this, Xue Rutao was shocked, looked at Mu Mingchun, and said in surprise, "Madam doesn't look like that, I always thought she just turned [-]!"
