Hearing what was going on, Ling Ruo couldn't help but laugh and said: "I said that I won't do it anymore. Although I am a little girl, unlike a gentleman, who can't follow up on his words, but she is not arrogant.
Once you say it, forget it. Your Majesty misses me so much, but I am unjustly accused."
"It's my fault." As soon as Yinzhen finished his words, he heard the sound of "Gululu" coming from his belly. Ling Ruo was startled for a moment, then covered his mouth and laughed, "The Emperor's Temple of the Five Internal Organs has begun to rebel!"
Yinzhen himself felt it was funny. Fortunately, he was not in front of the court officials, otherwise he would be really embarrassed. He covered his stomach and joked: "I haven't eaten anything seriously since yesterday. If I weren't hungry anymore, I would really become a god."
.”
Hearing this, Ling Ruo couldn't help but feel anxious, and said hurriedly: "The emperor has a bad spleen and stomach, how can he starve? If he gets sick due to hunger, it will be troublesome. I will ask someone to prepare snacks."
Yinzhen shook his head and said: "I want to eat the snacks you made by yourself. So many things have happened in the palace these days, and I haven't eaten them for two days."
Ling Ruo was startled and blurted out: "How does the emperor know that the snacks sent to Yangxin Hall were made by my concubine?"
"Are you finally willing to tell the truth?" Yinzhen glanced at her and said calmly: "Do you really think I don't know anything?"
Ling Ruo hurriedly lowered his head to defend himself and said, "I don't dare. It's just that Eunuch Xi promised that I wouldn't tell the emperor, so I didn't expect that the emperor would know."
Yinzhen said angrily: "That slave Sixi does things so carelessly, but he hides it from me without hesitation. Huh, let's see if I don't demote him to the cleaning department."
Sixi, who was standing outside, suddenly sneezed twice in succession. He rubbed his nose strangely and thought to himself why he sneezed for no reason. Could it be that he caught the wind and cold? But is there such a thing as catching the wind and cold in July?
But in the palace, Ling Ruo heard that Yinzhen intended to punish Si Xi, and quickly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This matter is all my concubine's fault and has nothing to do with Eunuch Xi. If your Majesty wants to blame me, please blame me."
"
Yinzhen shook his head, helped her up and said, "Although it is July, the ground is still quite cold. Get up. As for Sixi... If I really want to blame, do you think Sixi can still stay outside now?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Ling Ruo put down a big stone, but she was still curious about how Yinzhen knew about it.
Yinzhen saw through her thoughts, smiled and said: "Do you remember that Sixi came to your place for snacks? That's when I discovered it. But having said that, the snacks you made always tasted good to me.
I think it tastes better than the imperial dining room. Tell me, what did you put in it?"
"It's nothing, they're all the same. If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can go and see for yourself." After saying this, she asked smoothly: "Did the emperor come from the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart?"
Yinzhen's smile that had just surfaced fell silent again because of these words, and he whispered: "I just went to see Hong Sheng. Fortunately, Hong Li and the others were with me, otherwise I would have been lonely."
Ling Ruo stroked his shoulder and said, "Your Majesty, I express my condolences. My third brother is alive in heaven, and I don't want to see your Majesty looking sad."
Yinzhen looked up to the sky and sighed: "I don't know if I am not blessed, but my children always leave one after another. This is the case for Honghui, the same for Fuyi, and the same for Hongsheng."
"The emperor is the son of God, and his blessings are profound. How can he say that he is not blessed? In any case, the emperor still has Hongli and the others. Besides, Hui Guiren, Wen Guiren and others are in their prime, and they will definitely give birth to more children for the emperor in the future.
Gegege.”
"Don't you mind if I make Jiahui a noble person?" Yinzhen asked suddenly.
Ling Ruo was silent for a long time before replying: "If I say that I don't care, it means that I don't have the emperor in my heart. But the emperor is the emperor and controls the world, so how can the emperor only have a concubine in his harem? If the emperor grants one person a title
I have to care about you, and I’m afraid I’ll be trapped in the care all day long and can’t break free.” At this point, the conversation changed: “Or does the emperor hope to see a jealous woman?”
"You girl." Yinzhen laughed because of her. He held her hand and said, "You know I didn't mean it this way." He said with a deep tone, "It's just Jiahui, she is a little different after all."
Ling Ruo turned her head and smiled, and said: "No matter how different it is, is it different to have a minister and a concubine?"
Yinzhen never expected to hear such an answer. He couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. After laughing, he said: "Yes, you are the most different in my heart."
"That's it, how can I ask for more?" When saying this, Ling Ruo felt a sense of sadness in her heart. No woman wants to see her beloved having three wives and four concubines, but Yin
His status as the royal family of Zhen has already determined that he cannot treat him wholeheartedly, let alone the lingering ghost of Nalan Meier.
People always have to be a little confused to live an easy life...
Yinzhen did not continue talking about this matter, but said: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go, I'll watch you make some snacks."
Ling Ruo saw this and hurriedly dissuaded her: "How can the emperor get to the oily kitchen? It is better for my concubine to prepare the food and then bring it to the emperor."
"It's okay, let's go." Seeing that Yinzhen had made up her mind, Ling Ruo had no choice but to go to the small kitchen together. She knew that Yinzhen was hungry, so she moved very quickly. While kneading the dough, she called Mo'er in to light the fire.
.
Because I want to save noodles, I don’t steam it until half an hour later. The crystal shrimp dumplings are steamed. You have to be careful about the heat. If you’re not careful, the crystal-thin skin will become old and it won’t taste that good.
It feels slippery. Mo'er's approach to things is not meticulous enough, so Ling Shu simply watches the fire by herself and pays careful attention to the heat.
Yinzhen looked on with interest. This was the first time he entered the kitchen, and it was also the first time he saw someone cooking something so attentively. He felt it was very fresh, especially since the fire in the stove was too small. Ling Ruo
As he was busy adding firewood, he didn't even know that there were a few black marks on his snow-white face. He also used his hands to brush the hair that had fallen to his forehead. The more he looked at it, the more ridiculous he felt, and later on he couldn't help but feel so serious.
laughed out loud.
It wasn't until the laughter escaped his lips that Yinzhen suddenly remembered that he hadn't laughed so purely for a long time. Even when facing his favorite Hui Gui, he felt more of longing than joy.
.It seems that I did not make a mistake in coming to Ling Ruo today.
"Why is the emperor laughing?" Ling Ruo heard the laughter and asked strangely.
Yinzhen shook his head and said: "It's nothing, but your face is a little dirty."
"Really?" Women have always been proud to please their loved ones, and their appearance is more precious than their lives. Ling Ruo is no exception. When he heard that his face was dirty, he quickly wanted to wash it off, but he held it back as soon as he got up halfway.
Then he sat down again and said: "We can't live without people here. I'll take a bath later. There's no one around here. I just want to be disrespectful in front of the emperor. I hope the emperor won't blame me."
