Chapter 41 Old couple, familiar ways(1/2)
"Concubine Hui, are you still chatting?"
Zhu Yunxi stood outside the imperial garden and asked casually while looking inside.
The bastard who followed him bowed shamefully and said, "It looks like they are about to leave! You see, everyone has stood up and is ready to leave." After saying that, he looked at the sky and smiled, "It's almost dinner time!"
Since we are still chatting in the Royal Garden, let’s continue walking by ourselves!
Then he escaped and wandered for a long time. The flower party in the Imperial Garden had not ended yet. Zhu Yunxi didn't want to go back. He was obviously choosing a concubine for himself, but he had to hide and watch from a distance. What was the point of watching if he couldn't come forward?
.
As soon as he turned around and walked to the path beside the imperial garden, Zhu Yunxi suddenly felt happy.
On the palace wall, a fat orange cat was lying on the wall, waving its furry tail happily. Since ancient times, dogs were not allowed in the harem, only cats.
First, dogs are quite noisy, and secondly... the technology of castration in this era is not yet comprehensive.
The cats in the palace are all raised by concubines. They are all fat and not afraid of people.
Zhu Yunxi walked over slowly, stretched out his hand, "Come on, come down!"
The orange cat glanced at Zhu Yunxi contemptuously and continued to flick its tail.
Zhu Yunxi's childlike innocence grew. He stood on tiptoes and patted the orange cat's butt. The cat's ears moved and it obediently crawled along the palace wall into Zhu Yunxi's arms.
"Why are you so fat?"
This cat probably weighs more than ten pounds. Zhu Yunxi stroked the soft fur and said with a smile, "I'll stew it for you later. Let's make a dragon-tiger fight!"
Look, the orange cat seemed to understand, barked angrily, jumped out of his arms and ran away.
"Don't run!" Zhu Yunxi stepped forward to chase him.
Bang, suddenly, just after turning the corner, Zhu Yunxi was caught off guard and felt like he bumped into someone.
"Ouch!" The other party exclaimed, it turned out to be a girl.
Then, with a crash, the box in the girl's hand fell to the ground, and the exquisite snacks inside spilled all over the floor.
"Is it you?" Zhu Yunxi saw clearly that the person he knocked down was the round-faced and fat girl Zhao Ning'er. He smiled and said, "No wonder it feels a little soft and fleshy!"
He was laughing, but Zhao Ning'er seemed to be about to cry. Her round body fell to the ground, her eyes looking at the scattered snacks.
He curled his lips and almost cried, "My snacks! You have spilled all the snacks that the queen gave me!"
"I'm sorry!" Zhu Yunxi hurriedly went to help her, but was dodged by the other party. Men and women do not accept each other, so how can a girl let a man pull her around casually?
Zhao Ning'er stood up by herself and dusted herself off.
Zhu Yunxi stood on the side and laughed twice. When he realized that Mei Liangliang behind Zhao Ning'er wanted to say something, he quickly gave her a look.
Mei Liang understood in her heart and turned to look aside.
"My little father-in-law, why are you so reckless? You've spilled all my snacks, so how can I eat them? This is a gift from the empress!" Zhao Ning'er said as she bent down to pick up the snacks and blew them carefully.
The dust on it.
"Young father-in-law?" Zhu Yunxi suddenly became a little unhappy, "Where is the young father-in-law? Who is the father-in-law?"
So, looking at Zhao Ning'er, she said, "Young lady is wrong, I am not your father-in-law!"
"Who are you if you're not the father-in-law? Are you the imperial guard?" Zhao Ning'er curled her lips, "You don't look like that! When I entered the palace, I saw you and Eunuch Mei together!"
Zhu Yunxi looked at the ordinary clothes he was wearing. A man relied on his clothes and his horse relied on his saddle. His grandson was regarded as a eunuch because he was not wearing a dragon robe.
However, he was not angry in his heart and said with a smile, "Look more clearly, girl. I have a beard. How can the eunuch have a beard?"
A few snacks were smashed, and Zhao Ning'er felt a little distressed. She looked at Zhu Yunxi again and said angrily, "Aren't eunuchs men? Don't men all have beards?"
"Eunuchs are not considered men!" Zhu Yunxi said anxiously, "Eunuchs......"
Well! Having said that, Zhu Yunxi was a little confused.
The girl in front of me is obviously ignorant of the world. As a grown man, I can't tell other girls that the eunuch was cut down below, which caused the eunuch to be unable to secrete male hormones, and then he had no Adam's apple, beard, and no male characteristics?
Wouldn’t that make him a gangster?
At this time, Zhao Ning'er was still squatting on the ground, holding a few pieces of broken snacks that had been smashed, and said distressedly, "Good snacks are made of oil, salt and molasses. If they are broken like this, isn't this a waste?"
"
"Stop picking it up. I'll ask someone to get you a few more boxes?" Zhu Yunxi said apologetically.
"Little father-in-law, don't talk nonsense. This is a reward from the empress. Where are you going to get it!" Zhao Ning'er stood up, straightened her clothes, looked at Zhu Yunxi and said, "I heard someone said that the father-in-law in the palace can take whatever he wants.
Things are going to be beaten to death!"
"I'm really not a father-in-law..."
"You, be careful when you walk!" Zhao Ning'er said in an educational tone like a young adult, "It's okay if you hit me, but if you hit another noble person, will you still be alive? What will your parents do?
A life is not for you to be reckless! Being a father-in-law in the palace is already a hard life, but if you cause trouble again, who can save you!"
Seeing her preaching in front of him, Zhu Yunxi suddenly felt warm in his heart. She was still a kind girl who knew how to think about others.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "That's what the girl said!" Then he asked again, "But did it hurt the girl?"
Zhao Ning'er looked at the snack box in her hand, feeling a little annoyed, and sighed, "I'm not a noble person, so what's the point of falling down? It's just these snacks..."
"Shame on the bastard..."
"Slave... I'm here, little one!" The bastard was so heartbroken that he reacted quickly.
"Go and get some boxes of snacks for this girl. I want them to be hot and freshly made in the imperial kitchen!" Zhu Yunxi said, "Get more and pick out the ones you like!"
"Yes, don't worry!" The bastard quickly left.
"Eh!" Zhao Ning'er glanced at Zhu Yunxi suspiciously, her face full of inquiry.
"I have already told you that I am not an eunuch." Zhu Yunxi put on a pose that he considered good-looking, "I am the grandson of the emperor..."
"I understand!" Zhao Ning'er suddenly realized, "So, you are the little eunuch serving His Royal Highness the Emperor?"
"..." Zhu Yunxi was speechless.
"No wonder you seem to have a lot of energy! The other father-in-laws listen to you so much!" Zhao Ning'er looked at you a few more times and said quickly, "Little father-in-law, I can't take the snacks!" She said, lowering her voice, "Little father-in-law.
Father-in-law, I know you have good intentions. But you are a person close to His Highness the Grand Sun, and you cannot overstep casually. My father said that the higher you are in a high position, the more you must know your duties, and you must not do stupid things!"
Zhu Yunxi had a dark look on his face and forced a smile, "Two boxes of snacks will be fine."
"I really can't have it?"
"This is my apology to the girl!"
"No, no!" Zhao Ning'er waved her hand, "I have to leave. It's getting late and I have to go back to cook!"
As he said that, he turned around and said, "Eunuch Mei, could you please lead me the way?"
"This..." Mei Liangliang looked at Zhu Yunxi and said in her heart, if you don't say anything, how dare the Zajia family let you go!
However, I was a little happy about Zhao Ning'er's opportunity. Not only did I win the favor of Concubine Hui, but I also had a relationship with His Highness the Grand Sun.
This kind-hearted girl is unlikely to have a good marriage!
But he immediately began to worry about gains and losses. Looking at the scenery in the deep palace, it was actually a prison. If such a good girl really entered the palace, wouldn't she become a caged bird?
At this time, the bastard rushed over carrying two boxes of snacks.
The Royal Garden is right behind, and a few boxes of still-warm snacks are at your fingertips.
"It's just been made in the Imperial Kitchen, and it's still hot!" the bastard said with a smile.
Zhao Ning'er didn't dare to answer and hid aside timidly.
Zhu Yunxi thought about it and gave Mei Liangliang a look.
The latter quickly smiled and said, "Girl, since you are the emperor... just accept this lord's thoughts. It is always your thoughts, right?"
"Take it, a few snacks, how many can the nobles in the palace eat?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Zhao Ning'er looked at him again, and before he could refuse, Zhu Yunxi said again, "If you don't take it, if my queen knows that I bumped into you, won't you punish me?"
As he said this, some people said miserably, "The palace punishes people with a plan!"
Zhao Ning'er's eyes were much softer and she whispered, "But..."
"Stop it!" Zhu Yunxi carried the snack box, "Let's go, I'll give it to the girl!"
After saying that, he was in front, Zhao Ning'er was slightly behind, and a group of eunuchs followed with their heads down.
"You, my little father-in-law, are quite majestic when you serve as an errand next to the emperor's grandson!" Zhao Ning'er said.
Zhu Yunxi didn't bother to explain, "Is that the fox pretending to be the tiger's power? Haha!"
Arriving at the gate of the inner palace soon, Zhu Yunxi handed the snack box to Zhao Ning'er, "I will send the girl here, see you later!"
"You...what's your name?" Zhao Ning'er asked hesitantly.
"Me, just call me Xiao Zhuzi!" Zhu Yunxi joked with a childish heart.
"If you have the chance to leave the palace, you can come to my house and I will steam cakes for you to eat!" Zhao Ning'er smiled, her dark eyes like a crescent moon, which made people feel bright.
At the same time, in Concubine Guo Hui’s waterside pavilion.
