"Let's take a nap on me for a while." Ouyang Jin gently covered her with the dragon and phoenix quilt, took off her shoes and got on the warm jade bed, and gently pulled her into his arms. He obviously felt her body tremble.
Facing that flash of panic, her heart ached. It seemed that she had not completely forgiven herself. She asked softly and tentatively: "Is this all right?"
Mengyao closed her eyes, her body was a little stiff and she didn't move or speak. She couldn't bear to refuse for fear of hurting his heart, so she let him hug her from behind. The two of them hugged each other silently...
As soon as her stomach felt comfortable and his embrace was a little warm, she slowly fell asleep. Listening to her breathing slowly becoming even and her body slowly relaxing, Ouyang Jin gradually felt relieved.
When Fanfan and Xiaoxueer tiptoed up, they saw such a warm scene. They didn't know whether they were happy or sad at this time. There were too few such scenes during this period, and they didn't disturb them. The two of them slowly...
He retreated and stayed below to avoid being disturbed by the masters.
It was already dark, and several palace lanterns had been lit in the courtyard. I felt hungry in my sleep, so I turned over lazily. The place where I put my hands was empty, and then I opened my hazy eyes. Candles were already lit in the room, beside the bed.
people have disappeared.
Mengyao felt a little disappointed, and slowly got up and was about to get out of bed. There was a slight sound of footsteps beside her ears, and she raised her eyes to look at the stairs.
Ouyang Jin was in front, and Xiao Xueer was behind, carrying a tray quietly upstairs. There was a strong and unique fragrance in the air. Without looking, just smelling it, you knew it was his own medicine. It turned out that he had brewed medicine for himself.
"Yao'er, are you awake?" Ouyang Jin quickly stepped forward and put on her coat. He turned around and said, "Come here! Pass the food!" He made the medicine and was about to come back to wake her up, lest she get sick in her stomach.
Sleeping on an empty bed hurts the body.
Following Pingfan's message downstairs, the maids placed more than a dozen delicious dishes on the table. At this time, Pingfan also went upstairs and stood beside him, waiting to serve the masters.
"Princess and Empress, these are all your favorite dishes. The Emperor specially ordered them to be cooked by the Imperial Kitchen." Xiao Xueer stepped forward and helped Mengyao to the table.
After hearing this, Mengyao took a deep look at Ouyang Jin, and Ouyang Jin smiled slightly: "You little girl, you don't want the Queen to only like you as a maid. It turns out you have honey on your mouth."
"Princess and Queen, you see the emperor is making fun of me again." Xiao Xueer coquettishly shook Mengyao's arm.
"Xue'er, don't be unreasonable." Mengyao's face was slightly reproachful. Xiao Xue'er smiled and stuck out her tongue, helping the master to serve some rice, while Pingfan on the side also helped the emperor.
"Today's food is very good, but it's just a bit too much. Come on, Pingfan and Xue'er are coming to eat soon." Looking at the delicious food on the table, it was so full of color, flavor and taste that I suddenly felt my appetite increased. How could the two of them eat more than a dozen dishes?
Food? So he asked Xiaoxueer and Pingfan next to him to eat together.
"This?... I still serve the master at the meal." Ping Ping felt warm in his heart and hesitated to politely decline. How could he always have meals with the Queen and the Emperor regardless of his superiority?
"Yes, princess, queen, and servants are waiting for the master to eat." Xiao Xue'er also agreed, her master never treats his servants with dignity, which makes them feel extremely happy.
"The queen asked you to come together, so there's no need to shirk it. There is indeed a lot of food today, so let's eat together." Seeing Mengyao turning to look at him as if asking for his opinion, Ouyang Jin smiled and motioned for them to sit down together.
Since living with Yao'er, a meal usually consists of four dishes and one soup. Tonight, I specially asked the imperial kitchen to prepare more than a dozen dishes, which was indeed a lot for her.
Yao'er should be an unprecedented queen. Think about which emperor and queen in the past have not eaten hundreds of dishes? It is a bit extravagant and wasteful, but it symbolizes the absolute noble status of the royal family. My father is the thriftiest emperor in history.
, there are still 108 dishes per meal.
But Yao'er doesn't think so. It's disrespectful to the people to say that the food that the people have worked hard to grow is wasted in this way. Moreover, such extravagance and waste is also a shame for the taxpayers. They hand over the taxes to the court. It is not for the royal nobles.
What is extravagant and wasteful should be taken from the people and used by the people. Do more good deeds and practical things for the people of the world and benefit the people of the world. Only in this way can the country be strong and the people prosperous, and the country will be strong and stable for a long time.
Her theory not only convinced herself, but also influenced her father. The father now jokingly calls himself the Commoner Emperor, and the daily number of dishes only reaches the level of a slightly wealthy ordinary people. Think about it, the father jokingly calls himself the Commoner Emperor, and
I am not as high as the Supreme Emperor. As long as I and Yaoer can live happily together, no matter what, it will be sweet.
"Did you two hear this? Why don't you hurry up? I'm already hungry. Hurry up and eat together." Mengyao saw that the two were still a little nervous and urged her. Just as she was about to pick up the food, Ouyang Jin next to her was already helping her.
Caught in a bowl.
Xiaoxueer and Pingfan were extremely excited. They sat down with sore noses and looked at the two masters gratefully. These were extremely noble masters. They were simply their relatives, family members who were closer than relatives.
"You two eat more, don't just eat white rice, eat more vegetables." Mengyao greeted them warmly. Seeing that they lowered their heads and only ate rice, she helped them pick up some vegetables, which made them flattered. It's not like she had never talked to the Queen before.
We have dined together before, but never like this with the emperor and empress.
Ouyang Jin felt isolated and neglected. He didn't say anything and slowly ate his own food. Mengyao glanced at his slightly aggrieved and hurt eyes and hesitated. She picked up his favorite dish and put it on his table.
He lowered his head and took a mouthful of rice without saying anything. He glanced at Ouyang Jin and saw that he was smiling brightly at him. His expression was stagnant and he swallowed too fast, accidentally choking.
"Slow down, slow down." Ouyang Jin brought the water to her and gently patted her back, looking at the love of his masters. Fan Ping and Xiao Xue'er's nervous moods also calmed down, and they looked at each other and smiled.
Especially Xiaoxueer burst into laughter.
"Why do I feel like there is one person missing? How about usual? Why didn't you ask ordinary people to have dinner together?" Mengyao saw them giggling secretly, a little unnaturally. She suddenly thought of ordinary people who were inseparable from Ouyang Jin. Why didn't ordinary people eat together?
Come to have dinner together? Did you leave him behind?
Just as Pingfan was about to answer, he saw Ouyang Jin's eyes and closed his mouth again.
