Qi Yunxiao sent the braised pork cooked by Shen Qingyu into the palace and presented it to the imperial study. He left without saying a word.
His Majesty the Emperor heard the news that Qi Yunxiao and Concubine Rong had met each other, and was surprised when he saw that he didn't ask any questions.
But Qi Yunxiao has a paralyzed face, and now that he doesn't speak, others can't tell what he's thinking.
So the new emperor asked Qi Yunxiao about his plans.
Qi Yunxiao talked about the crazy Taoist bringing Er Bao to Beijing, saying that he would stay with Er Bao for a few more days, and then he would leave after Er Bao and the crazy Taoist left.
No emotion could be heard in the words.
When the new emperor heard that the triplets had gathered together, he was very surprised and moved his lips, as if he wanted to see the triplets.
But a subtle bell rang, and the new emperor shut up.
Qi Yunxiao lowered his head, covering up a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth.
I don’t know if Concubine Rong was secretly watching me from behind the few times I met the Holy Emperor.
Does she think this counts as love?
After leaving the palace, Qi Yunxiao went to Guiyun Tower in the capital.
On the top floor of Guiyun Tower, he was listening to the intelligence compiled by his subordinates.
"An old friend from the time I stayed at the residence said that this Concubine Rong was there twenty-three years ago, but she was sick all year round and never came out to see anyone..."
Qi Yunxiao listened blankly.
If the timing is correct, this Concubine Rong should not be her.
But what if the original Concubine Rong died of illness quietly, but she took the title of Concubine Rong?
It seems that things are not that simple.
When his subordinates left, Qi Yunxiao's seemingly calm face was filled with inner struggles.
Does the truth really have to be revealed?
The shopkeeper came up to report.
Shen Qingyu and Zhao Yuzhu came over with their three children.
"Are you going down now? Or are you asking them to wait?"
Qi Yunxiao looked determined and stood up: "Let's go down."
Today we did not eat in a private room, but directly in the small cubicle by the window in the lobby of Guiyun Tower.
Although the compartments are separated by hollowed-out wooden boards, people outside can still easily see the people inside.
The three little ones wore exactly the same style of clothes, the female doll wore pink and the male doll wore blue. They were about the same height, had close and tacit movements, and had outstanding looks. When they entered the lobby, they still succeeded in attracting many people.
In particular, the appearance of Dabao and Erbao are very similar, and their pink and jade-carved looks are even more eye-catching.
Some curious female customers even asked the waiter: "Are these twins?"
The waiter got the instruction and told the other party in a slightly louder voice: "These are triplets!"
"Oh my god..."
The female guests were shocked!
For women in this era, childbirth is like a hell. It is difficult to predict whether one child will live or die. If three children are born at the same time...
When everyone looked at Shen Qingyu, their expressions were admirable!
Qi Yunxiao's black forehead was particularly conspicuous, and it was immediately obvious that he was the crown prince of the Qingping Hou Mansion.
The Crown Prince came out with the triplets. Everyone asked the waiter about it, and the news spread that "The Crown Prince of the Qingping Marquis Mansion has already been married and has triplets."
While he was still sitting in Guiyun Tower, all the inquiring people had already arrived.
It was soon hard to find anyone in Guiyun Tower.
Qi Yunxiao seemed to be casually recommending dishes to Shen Qingyu, Zhao Yuzhu and the triplets, but his eyes were calmly looking at the people sitting nearby.
On one of the tables, a middle-aged woman and man wearing a brown dress fell into his sight.
These two people looked like palace members, and their sitting postures subconsciously followed the rules of the palace.
And they still look here from time to time.
After a while, the man left, leaving only a middle-aged woman sitting there.
A middle-aged woman also called the waiter and asked for a cubicle.
The waiter called the shopkeeper over, and after a while of muttering, a booth was quickly arranged, which was right next to Qi Yunxiao's table.
Qi Yunxiao smiled silently for a moment: Sure enough, can't you bear it anymore?
Sensing the strange atmosphere, Shen Qingyu frowned and tugged at the corner of Qi Yunxiao's clothes: "Follow me."
Qi Yunxiao glanced at Shen Qingyu in surprise, and finally followed her to the backyard to find a quiet place.
"I don't know what your plans are today. I only have one request." Shen Qingyu looked up at Qi Yunxiao seriously.
Qi Yunxiao nodded: "You say."
"Kids must be kept safe!"
"I know. Don't worry." Qi Yunxiao immediately assured.
Shen Qingyu nodded, turned around and walked out again.
Qi Yunxiao grabbed Shen Qingyu with a complicated expression: "Why...you always refuse to believe me or give me a chance?"
Shen Qingyu tugged, not pulling his arm out, and couldn't help but frown again: "The children are still waiting in the booth now!"
Qi Yunxiao persisted and refused to let go: "I have arranged for someone to protect me, don't worry. You just answer me, why don't you forgive me no matter what I do?"
Shen Qingyu lowered his eyes for a moment, raised his head and smiled sarcastically: "You are nice to me because I am getting better and better. If I were still the same fat and ugly person as before, would you not let me go like this?"
Qi Yunxiao: "..."
There is no denying that I will be attracted to Shen Qingyu like this.
What about Shen Qingyu who used to be like that?
Will he not let go?
Will you still fight for it over and over again?
"If I still look like that, I'm afraid I'll be the one who won't let go, right? You're afraid you can run as far as you can, right?"
"This is also true. You have only come back twice in six years."
Shen Qingyu felt a dull pain in her heart.
The original memory of Qi Yunxiao's crazy night became clearer with the arrival of the three children.
The dead Shen Qingyu must have been very unwilling in his heart.
Qi Yunxiao: "..."
"So why do you think that as long as you are sincere enough, I should forgive you?" Shen Qingyu glanced at Qi Yunxiao steadily, pulled back his arm, turned and walked towards the cubicle.
There is still warmth in the hand, but the person is not in it.
Qi Yunxiao went back dejectedly.
The food has been served.
Since the owner was here in person, the shopkeeper specifically told the chef to use his best skills.
So the three little ones ate with their mouths full of oil and were satisfied.
Zhao Yuzhu also had to admire: the son-in-law of Guo Jiahead opened Guiyun Restaurant which is really good. The presentation, materials, taste and combination of this dish are all very attentive.
At this moment, a woman wearing a curtain and hat came at a leisurely pace and entered the compartment next to Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao.
Immediately, servants came forward and blocked the hollow wooden board with a curtain, blocking the view from outside.
This is very common in the capital. After all, when ladies from aristocratic families go out to eat, some of their actions are not suitable for outsiders to see.
But Qi Yunxiao laughed silently again.
See, this is human greed.
I don’t want to take on any responsibilities, but I want everything.
"Sister, this is delicious. I've had it last time. This time it's even better..." Erbao put a piece of freshly served Guobao Pork into Dabao's bowl.
"Is this one? Let me try it." Xiaobao quickly picked up a piece for himself.
Erbao looked at his younger brother and gave him a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs: "This one is also delicious, this one is sweet and sour."
"Thank you, second sister. Second sister, you can eat too." Xiaobao said in a sweet voice and gave Erbao a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs.
"Oh! Your relationship is so good! Grandma is even jealous!"
Ms. Zhao Yuzhu shouted exaggeratedly, covering her chest.
The triplets glanced at Ms. Zhao Yuzhu, then each picked up a piece of meat and put it in Zhao Yuzhu's bowl.
"Grandma, here you go!"
"Grandma, I love you too!"
"Grandma, you are the best. You even take me to bed at night! I will give it to you too."
The lady next door stopped with her chopsticks, and the sweet and sour pork ribs in her mouth were no longer fragrant...
