Aunt Wei quickly prepared three bowls of noodles and served them to Chen Xueying. She took a bite and felt good.
"The soup base is delicious and the noodles are chewy. Aunt Wei's noodle-making skills are really outstanding. I'm in a good mood." She praised her seriously and ate the whole bowl.
In fact, it looks like a bowl, but it only has a few bites and a little soup.
The meals in the palace are small in quantity but rich in variety.
Lu Zhao also finished eating. Only the queen couldn't eat anymore after two bites, but she still remained in good spirits.
In the afternoon, Lu Zhao left first, while Chen Xueying sat with the queen for a while before leaving.
At night, Chen Xueying sat at the table, but Lu Zhao was nowhere to be seen.
"Didn't we agree to have dinner together? Where did your prince go?" She caught a palace official from the East Palace and asked.
The palace man hesitated for a moment and then said: "The prince asked you to wait a moment, he will be here soon."
As soon as she saw the palace man's appearance, Chen Xueying knew that there must be something fishy. She wanted to ask something, but Li De happened to rush over and drove the palace man away.
"Prince, please be patient. Your Highness will be here soon."
While the two were talking, Lu Zhao walked in, but he was holding a tray with a porcelain bowl on the tray.
"Huh?" Chen Xueying looked at him curiously, not knowing what kind of drama he was planning.
"Noodle?"
"Yes, I saw that you like to eat lunch very much, so I learned from Grandma Wei and made a bowl for you to try. Besides, your birthday will be in one month, so I would like to celebrate it in advance." Lu Zhao nod.
There were noodles of uneven thickness in the bowl. It was obvious that the chef who made the noodles was very unfamiliar with his skills and it didn't look very nice.
She couldn't help but chuckle and teased: "Lu Zhao, you still need to practice your skills. That is to say, you can only stand in front of me if you do it like this. If it were anyone else, you wouldn't even come in front of me. He was punished.”
The man couldn't help but smile, and raised his voice slightly: "There's nothing you can do about it, who made us husband and wife."
His sullen tone clearly meant that he wanted to imitate Chen Xueying, but he was not used to it, so he seemed a little restrained and did not have the energy to deserve a beating.
Chen Xueying picked up the chopsticks, picked up a few noodles and tasted them. Her eyes widened a little. Then she took a sip of soup with a spoon, and the expression on her face suddenly became even more surprised.
After tasting it carefully, she praised: "It's good. Although the appearance is a little bad, the taste is very good. The noodles are very chewy and the soup base is delicious. If it weren't for the uneven thickness of the noodles, I would have thought it was... Aunt Wei made it herself.”
Lu Zhao stared into her eyes and asked, "Really?"
Obviously, he was confirming the authenticity of Chen Xueying's words.
Regarding his attitude, Chen Xueying couldn't help but give him a roll of her eyes: "For your bowl of noodles, do you still want me to lie? If it's delicious, it's delicious. If it's not, it's not good. When will I have to live with it?"
As soon as Lu Zhao heard this, a smile appeared on his face and he looked very happy.
This bowl of noodles was not a lot, so Chen Xueying had no trouble eating it. It was all gone quickly, and she drank all the soup in a dignified manner.
"How long have you been studying?"
"Two hours."
Chen Xueying blinked slightly, "Just this afternoon, you were so busy that you disappeared. So you went to learn how to make noodles?"
The man nodded: "I want to eat longevity noodles for my birthday. I have a rest today, so I will learn to make it if I have nothing to do."
Chen Xueying was a little dumbfounded: "I am naturally happy that you made the soup with your own hands. But since this is longevity noodles for birthdays, if you make them now, I know in advance that when the birthday comes, the surprise will be greatly reduced. Bar?"
"If you are happy today, then my bowl of noodles will not be in vain. I have achieved my goal. On my birthday, of course, there will be more than just this bowl of noodles, and there will be others. No need to worry about me." Lu Zhao waved his hands, and his words were very grand.
"Oh, Your Highness, you are very confident. Then I look forward to many surprises on my birthday." The smile on her face became more and more obvious, and she couldn't help but raise her hands to wrap around his neck, her tone was quite provocative.
The man looked at her, and they were so close that even when they turned their heads, their lips could brush against each other's face.
He directly picked her up and walked to the inner hall.
"Since the Crown Princess is happy, let me also enjoy it too."
Seeing his posture, Chen Xueying naturally guessed what he was going to do. She did not refuse, but said in a slightly anxious tone: "Wash up first, otherwise you won't be able to have fun."
Lu Zhao's striding forward suddenly stopped. He couldn't help but sigh softly, and still carried her to the soup pool.
"I can only advise myself that good things come to an end." He said helplessly.
Chen Xueying laughed out loud and whispered in his ear: "It's not a persuasion, it's a fact. I will show you something interesting tonight."
Lu Zhao raised his eyebrows without comment. Apparently he only thought that Chen Xueying was teasing him and didn't care.
It wasn't until he actually put it into practice that he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and growled: "Chen Xueying, where did you learn this?"
The woman's clear laughter came from inside the tent: "What, isn't it fun?"
The man's voice almost came out from between his teeth: "It's fun, keep going, no one will stop tonight."
When Chen Xueying woke up, the sun outside was already very high. Apparently she slept until the sun was shining brightly.
"Princess, you are awake. Will my servant help you wash up?" Hua Rong asked softly.
Chen Xueying immediately groaned: "No, lie down for a while."
As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was so hoarse that not only the maids serving her, but also herself was shocked. She was so hoarse that she was almost smoking.
She couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed that the provocation last night was too much. At first, she had the upper hand and teased Lu Zhao.
After all, she is a modern person, relatively enthusiastic and bold, and there are various novel posture tutorials on the Internet, so she will try them one by one.
Lu Zhao couldn't resist it at first. He was even too bold and avant-garde, which made him blush and couldn't let go.
But after letting go completely later, he played more boldly than she did.
After all, the ancients were not bad in this regard. You must know that "Jin Ping Mei" is a classic passion novel handed down from ancient times. It has both literary value and many tricks.
Don't underestimate these ancients. Although Lu Zhao has never studied this knowledge, he has very good physical strength. Afterwards, Chen Xueying was tired, and he happily let her continue to show off new tricks.
This resulted in the two of them having too much fun, and her voice was worse than that of a karaoke night, and she couldn't bear to listen to it.
Of course, not only the sound, but also the skeleton is falling apart.
Lu Zhao is back to busy work, Jia Zhaoyi's body has stabilized, and Chen Xueying is no longer restricted and will still return to the Princess Mansion to live.
Just because her relationship with Lu Zhao was getting better, she would often stay in the East Palace.
That night, Chen Xueying went out of the palace to live in the princess mansion. It was dark outside and she was ready to rest.
Ye Jing came in with her clothes on, her face a bit serious: "Someone is coming from the palace, it's the father-in-law sent by Longqian Palace. He said that something happened, and he won't say anything until you go out."
"Get dressed for me." Chen Xueying was slightly startled and said immediately.
Several palace maids came in and quickly dressed her.
"I've met the Crown Princess."
"Get up, what happened in the palace?" she asked coldly.
To be able to summon her in the middle of the night must be a big deal.
"Something happened to His Royal Highness. The Emperor is waiting for you in the palace."
After the eunuch said this, he urged Chen Xueying to enter the palace. No matter how she coerced or tempted her, he refused to say another word. It was obviously Lu Wuji who had given the order.
Chen Xueying had no choice but to get on the carriage and move quickly to the palace.
She felt a little regretful now. If she had known she would stay in the East Palace tonight, she wouldn't have to be like this, with her eyes dark and completely unaware of what happened.
She was introduced into Longqian Palace, and Lu Wuji sat on the dragon chair waiting for her.
"My daughter-in-law has met my father."
Her mind was a little messy and she couldn't help but wonder what happened? Could it be that Lu Zhao rebelled and was discovered?
It shouldn't be. If Lu Zhao really did something to rebel, he promised to protect her and would definitely send her away before rebelling.
That is because Lu Wuji, an old pervert, couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to get rid of the prince, but he was worried that he couldn't catch them all, so he controlled his princess first?
Her mind was filled with conspiracy theories. When Lu Wuji asked her to stand up, his tone was relatively gentle, and immediately these conspiracy theories gradually dissipated.
"The main reason I called you here so late is because I want to explain something to you. Tonight at the underground martial arts arena, the prince had a conflict with me over a political matter. According to the rules of the royal family, I proposed exchange or fight, and he chose Fighting. It's completely normal up to this point. After all, the prince has never chosen exchange. He has always fought to the end."
"My fighting wolves appeared, and the others retreated to the corner. All the candles in the martial arts arena were extinguished. The prince only needed to knock down these fighting wolves in the dark. But there was an accident tonight."
Obviously, the matter was so serious that Lu Wuji did not let Qin Youan do it for her, but explained it to her himself.
When he said this, he stopped immediately.
Chen Xueying not only held her breath, but after waiting for a while and he was still unwilling to speak, she asked: "What accident happened?"
"Those fighting wolves were drugged, making them completely lose their minds. They were more ferocious than usual and full of animal nature. When I found out later, it was already too late. Even if I asked Qin Youan to blow the whistle, it would no longer work. And At that time, the prince was exhausted, and after suppressing the wolves, he also fainted in a pool of blood."
Chen Xueying was startled and her face instantly turned pale.
"Why is this happening? What happened to him?"
She was completely unprepared. After all, she was fine before, but she was suddenly told of this situation. It was hard to accept it for a while.
"He is still alive. The imperial doctor said that there is nothing serious about his body. He just hurt his head. He doesn't know when he will wake up." Lu Wuji explained.
When she heard the first half of the sentence, Chen Xueying breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as she was alive, her body would be fine. She probably didn't have any broken arms or legs, so it shouldn't be too serious.
When I heard the second half of the sentence, I took another breath instantly.
If the brain is hit, it is very likely to become a vegetative state. It would be better to break off the arms and legs, but still have a clear mind.
Lu Wuji then gave a few symbolic words of comfort. Chen Xueying couldn't concentrate at all, so she just said a few perfunctory words and was allowed to leave.
After Lu Zhao's condition stabilized, he was sent back to the East Palace. Now he is lying on the bed with his eyes closed tightly. The bloody clothes on his body have been changed, but there are still occasional blood stains on his fingertips and the ends of his hair. He is obviously the person who scrubbed them. I failed to take care of these details.
Chen Xueying's mind was empty. Her current mood was very strange. When it came to sadness, she didn't seem to have such a strong emotion. There didn't seem to be any anxiety or panic. Her head was empty and her heart was empty. She didn't seem to be thinking about anything.
"Princess, are you okay? Your Majesty, he is a lucky person, so he will be okay." Hua Rong saw that she was in a trance and couldn't help but comfort her.
Chen Xueying waved her hand and ordered: "Get a basin of warm water."
After the water was brought in, Chen Xueying picked up the handkerchief and soaked it, carefully wiped his fingertips and the ends of his hair, and wiped his face several times.
"Don't miss your handsome face. After all, it's how you managed to confuse me." She murmured softly.
Ye Jing, who was next to her, felt something was wrong when she heard what she said. She couldn't help but stepped forward and asked softly: "Princess, it's getting late. Why don't you ask someone to bring a bed in and put it next to it? Take a break?"
"Carry it up." Chen Xueying threw the handkerchief back into the basin and ordered in a low voice.
Several people helped her lie down, and when they saw her eyes closed, her breathing soon returned to normal, and a stone fell from her heart. :,,
