The emperor coughed.
"I thought you haven't eaten yet, why are you thinking of making food for the third prince?"
Concubine Li took the food box from Hua Rui and put the dishes in it while saying, "Luo'er likes the third prince very much. He must have felt bad when he heard that Concubine Xian committed suicide today."
[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Mom is too warm. Although the Concubine Xian doesn't like the Third Prince, she is still the Third Prince's mother-concubine. She doesn't care on her face, but she must feel uncomfortable in her heart. 】
After all, the third prince is also a human being, and he certainly cannot remain indifferent.
The emperor was silent for a while and then spoke.
"He saved me and Luo'er in prison last night."
The emperor felt guilty when he said this. If he hadn't brought Luo'er to join in the fun, this wouldn't have happened.
But after he finished speaking, Li Fei didn't say anything, and the little guy didn't arrange it in his mind, which made him a little uncomfortable.
"In this case, I should thank the Third Prince properly."
The emperor watched as all the dishes on the table were put into the food box, and turned his attention to the only plate of snacks left. He then raised his hand, and Concubine Li put the snacks in faster than he did.
Eunuch Cao next to him saw the emperor retracting his hand in a nonchalant manner, and struggled to hold back a smile, but his shrugged shoulders betrayed him.
[Hahaha, the beauty mother is also a little emotional. She doesn’t say it with her mouth, but she must be secretly saying it in her heart. She almost died when she took my Luoer out, and she still has the nerve to eat the snacks I made. It’s a dream! 】
Li Fei: "..."
emperor:"……"
After packing the food, she was worried that it would be too cold in the Third Prince's Mansion, so Li Fei took a small fox fur cloak and wrapped it before letting Hua Rui deliver the food to the Third Prince's Mansion.
...
When the third prince came back from the palace, he locked himself in the study and did not come out during meal time.
Ziyang stood at the door of the study. The guards refused to let him in, so he had to shout at the top of his lungs.
"Your Highness, come out and have something to eat."
No one responded inside, so he called a few more times, but still no response.
Then he sat down at the door of the study in frustration.
Why did a visit to the palace turn into this? His Highness was obviously very indifferent when something happened to Concubine Xian, but now he is so sad that he doesn't even want to eat.
"Zi Yang, brother Chen still hasn't come out?"
Yang Xin walked over and glanced at the closed study door.
"Yes." Ziyang glanced at her with a nonchalant look, "Do you have a way to get His Highness to come out?"
Yang Xin raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Brother Chen, I know that Concubine Xian is sad without you. You can come out and I will chat with you."
Previously, she had seen the male protagonist being indifferent to Concubine Xian, and she thought she didn't care, but now it seems that's not necessarily the case.
Maybe we can also clean up some of the Xian Concubine's actions and let the male protagonist remember the emperor and avenge the Xian Concubine.
As for her life experience, she didn't plan to say anything.
After all, how can we let this upright male protagonist take that position?
Thinking of this, Yang Xin shouted even more vigorously.
"They say that getting drunk will solve a thousand worries. Brother Chen, just come out!"
But there was only one word in response.
"roll!"
This word reached her and Ziyang's ears clearly, and Ziyang laughed without concealment.
"Miss Yang, Your Highness wants you to get lost."
Yang Xin felt aggrieved. Although she was selfish, her worries about the male protagonist were genuine.
Hua Rui, who came in with a food box, came here under the guidance of the servant.
"Is the third prince inside?" she asked Yang Xin with a smile.
Yang Xin turned around and glanced at her, "Who are you? What are you holding in your hand?"
It won't be those careless concubines who come out to play around again.
"I am serving at the side of Imperial Concubine Li, delivering things to the Third Prince."
Huarui didn't know who Yang Xin was, so she still smiled back.
"Give me the stuff," Yang Xin stretched out her hand like a hostess, "I will give it to the third prince."
Hua Rui's hand held the food box tightly, with no intention of giving it to Yang Xin.
The empress asked her to hand it over to the third prince in person, and she also said a few words.
What could she say if she couldn't see the third prince?
"Didn't you hear me talking to you?"
Yang Xin rolled her eyes when she saw Hua Rui ignoring her.
"It's not something shameful. What did I bring in?"
She couldn't stand the maids around these concubines in the palace. Just because she followed a master, she felt that she was superior and different from the maids outside. In fact, she was not a slave, she was just another person's dog.
"Your Majesty asked me to personally deliver this to the Third Prince." Huarui pursed her lips.
Ziyang stood up and walked towards Yang Xin who was going to grab what Huarui was holding.
"His Highness just told you to get out. Didn't you hear that the thing was sent to His Highness by Concubine Li?"
Yang Xin glared at him, "Isn't Concubine Li a human being? We are all human beings. No one is nobler than the other, but she won't let me touch her, as if no one cares about her."
Ziyang didn't bother to talk to her anymore and shouted to the third prince in the study: "Your Highness, Concubine Li has someone give you something."
I thought they would be ignored inside, but after a while of silence, the third prince's deep voice sounded.
"Let people in."
Yang Xin stamped her feet displeased and watched Hua Rui go in and the door was closed again.
"I've met the third prince, and the empress asked her slave to bring you some food."
The third prince glanced at the food box in her hand and said, "Thank you, Concubine Li, on my behalf."
Hua Rui opened the food box with a smile, "The third prince saved the little princess last night, so the queen specially cooked some food and sent it over."
Looking at the dishes that were gradually being laid out, the third prince's empty stomach growled.
Huarui pretended not to hear and handed him the chopsticks.
"My wife is very good at cooking. The emperor often goes to the palace to have meals."
Others had good intentions, and it was hard for the third prince to refuse them.
Whether Li Fei was really out of gratitude or pity, he knew that Li Fei had no ill intentions.
He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times and said with a smile, "The dishes cooked by Concubine Li are indeed delicious."
Hearing his wife being praised, Hua Rui felt a little proud.
He couldn't help but say something more, "The emperor also said it was delicious, and he came over to have a meal today, but the empress came here dressed up and gave it to you, the third prince."
The third prince paused while picking up the food, with complicated thoughts, "Father, you didn't say anything when you saw Concubine Li delivering food to me?"
Didn’t the mother and concubine say that the father already knew his identity, then why?
He couldn't understand.
Hua Rui was puzzled, "I didn't say anything."
After the third prince finished eating, Hua Rui returned to the palace with the food box in hand.
Li Fei looked at Hua Rui with a smile and asked softly, "Is the Third Prince okay?"
She deliberately asked Huarui so that her daughter would know about the third prince's condition, so that she would not have to stay awake and ponder it alone.
Putting the food box down, Hua Rui frowned slightly.
"The Third Prince didn't seem to be doing well when I left. He asked a woman at the door to get out."
Concubine Li thought it was Yingying Yanyan from the third prince's residence, so she didn't think it was strange.
As a result, Huarui added, "The guard called the woman Miss Yang. She wanted to snatch the food box from the slave and send it in. She was quite angry when the slave refused to give it to her."
Miss Yang?
Could it be the time-traveling girl Luo'er mentioned?
