C9 Idle Days
Ever since the day the emperor ordered Yuan Bao eunuch to send her back to the Tantai Pavilion, Sou Sou hadn't seen the emperor for quite some time. However, she was also free.
When she thought of this, she felt quite gratified as she looked at the drill ground not far away. It was very good, very good, every single one of them was comparable to a celebrity.
An Jian felt that this kind of behavior was really inappropriate. After some consideration, he could not help but open his mouth, "Honored guest, how about we go back?"
"What for?" Sou Sou looked at An Jian with a puzzled expression. The scenery was great before dusk, how could she not admire the beauty of the scenery?
"We've already been out for a long time, let alone this place is filled with people. It's not appropriate for us to stay here all this time …" An Jian muttered to himself for a moment before using the wrong method to persuade her to return.
There were many people here, and this person was simply too ostentatious. I wonder why young master chose such a woman to enter the palace to help her. He had an unreliable look on his face!
However, her current identity was just a small servant girl. No matter how dissatisfied she was, she couldn't show it.
Sou Sou looked at her helpless appearance and thought back for a moment. She had indeed gone too far. After all, he couldn't forget to eat while watching the scenery. He really shouldn't stay here and watch the scenery at this time.
Far away at the end of the corridor, Qin Wenzhou, who was dressed in dragon silk clothes, came to the training ground for a walk after dinner. After breaking down from his reverie, he saw a lady dressed in white clothes and surrounded by beautiful flowers.
He did not need to think to know that it was definitely Xie Zhi!
"Your majesty." Yuanbao had always been a very perceptive person. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to stay by the emperor's side for so long. When he saw the emperor staring fixedly at the woman in the distance, he thought to himself that the emperor was indeed somewhat grateful to his benefactor.
"Who's there?" Qin Wenzhou asked even though he knew the answer.
The ingot did not expose him, but only respectfully said, "That person looks like he should be someone of importance."
"Hmph, you can tell that it's her just by guessing. Other than her, why would there be someone else staying in such a messy place?!" Qin Buzhou looked at Xie Zhi before following her gaze to the Imperial Guards on the drill grounds not far away. He felt a little displeased with his boss.
Although she couldn't say why she had such a feeling, she still felt an indescribable feeling in her heart when she saw how excited she was as she looked at the people around her.
"Your majesty, perhaps it's because this place has a wide field of vision and can see the scenery at dusk that's the best. It's probably because Venerable Xie is bored staying in the palace that he came out to take a walk." As Yuanbao spoke, he didn't wish for the emperor to be in a bad mood for no reason because of this matter. Otherwise, no one else would be affected besides him.
"Why did I call you brother?" Of course it's different from the others! " The emperor's cold gaze swept over as his ingot shuddered. This was too frightening!
The ancients always said that when a man accompanied a tiger, there was no one in this world who knew better than he did." Just a moment ago, he was clearly in a good mood. After dinner, he came out for a walk. In the evening, he had plenty of energy to deal with political affairs in the imperial study.
In less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn, he had already met Venerable Xie. However, Yuanbao had discovered that this smiling and furious Venerable Xie could easily involve the Emperor in his emotions.
Although she lived in the Teng Pavilion and the people in the palace didn't like her, she was a very likeable person, and after interacting with her for a while, not many people would be able to harden their hearts and insist on making things difficult for her.
The imperial kitchens were so far away from the Tantai Hall, and Su Sou was also afraid of trouble. She was very picky with her food, and would probably lose her appetite if she arranged for people to bring it back from the imperial kitchens when she was hungry.
Therefore, he made a small kitchen. When she was hungry, he would cook some delicious meals for her, which would be much more convenient.
"Jiuming, I want to eat steamed bass in the future …" Sou Sou was calculating with her fingers. She wanted to eat a lot of things, but she didn't have that much appetite, so she could only take it slowly.
It had to be said that the ingredients here were indeed very fresh. There weren't many flavors, but the taste was pure and fresh. After she ate it, she felt that she liked it a lot.
"Honorable person... "No bass..."
"Then I'll braise the carp …" After a moment of hesitation, she decided to change her mind.
"None... You can have green vegetable tofu tonight... This tofu was sent over by a kind-hearted nanny. Our little kitchen hasn't had any fresh ingredients for a few days already. " Jiuming sighed, hoping that she would understand his current situation.
"It's true that I'm not a good person, but what they're doing is a bit too much. Don't tell me they want to starve me to death?" She sighed at the injustice of the world.
As night fell, Qin Wenzhou watched her from afar, chattering about the lack of tasty food. This was the Imperial Palace, shouldn't she be worried about something else?
The little girl looked harmless. She was innocent. It was because she was too shrewd that he could not see through her.
"Your majesty, do you want this servant to stop your benefactor?" Yuanbao looked at the emperor's back as he stared at the noble's back. He was unwilling to leave, but he didn't go up to greet him. For a moment, he really couldn't hold back the emperor's thoughts, so he could only grit his teeth and ask.
Just as the emperor was about to get angry, he heard her bell-like laughter in his ear. I wonder what it is? An inexplicable thought rose in his mind, and he suddenly wanted to rush forward to cause trouble for Xie Zhi.
Su Sou was still somewhat unwilling as she asked, "Really? Besides the vegetables and tofu, there's no meat at all?"
Jiu Ming was also at a loss for words for a long time. He struggled for a while before saying, "I've even raised a white and tender rabbit. Your highness, should you consider it?"
"Nonsense!" An Jian saw that the master and servant became less and less attached to each other, and wanted to stop them. However, before he could even say anything, he heard someone thank him for blocking them in a hurry.
At first, when Qin Wenzhou heard this, he thought that this heartless little girl actually had a bit of love for him. But before he even had time to think about it, he heard her say, "How could you have such an idea? "Didn't you tell me just now that there's nothing left in the kitchen? That the ingredients needed for the cooking are definitely gone as well …"
"Don't you think about how you're going to be a rabbit when all these things are gone? Red braised meat still needs some seasonings. I'm not used to eating steamed rabbits! "
She spoke with a serious tone, as if she had already eaten the rabbit alive.
Because they had such thoughts, that chubby white rabbit seemed to be able to guess people's minds and kept away from them.
Seeing her so contented, Qin Buzhou took two steps forward before quietly retreating. He then instructed, "Order them not to send the ingredients."
Yuan Bao nodded his head. Before leaving, he did not forget to look with sympathy at the noble man who was unaware of all that had happened.
