A week after Lan Ling's funeral, Huo Jingyun took half a month off work to go home to visit his parents.
Beiyi is busy with affairs, and many things need to be decided by the emperor himself. The emperor hurried to Beiyi with Bai Shaoting.
During this time, Jiang Rui and Ling Shuang also left Yuncheng and returned to Daxia.
The palace gradually returned to its previous calm.
On this day, Qingyun was really bored in the palace, so he took Xiaojing and a guard named Xiao Shuanzi out of the palace.
Xiao Shuanzi is Ling Chen's new servant for Qingyun. It is said that he is excellent in martial arts and cautious in handling things, which is highly appreciated by Ling Chen.
Because Qingyun hadn't disclosed his identity to them some time ago, now that the truth is revealed, he feels much more relaxed.
It's just that Qingyun understands that Ling Chen still has a long way to go, she remembers what Aunt Meng said, but she can't tell Ling Chen.
But she has never been worried about Ling Chen, Qingyun is very relieved of his wisdom as an emperor, his strategy, and the partners around him.
Today Qingyun brought Xiaojing and Xiaoshuanzi to Fumantang restaurant for dinner, she had come here with her senior brother Huo Jingyun before, the dishes here are delicious, especially the roast duck dish, which is endless aftertaste.
Living in Yuncheng Palace for such a long time, it was the first time for Xiaojing to really visit Yuncheng. Xiao Shuanzi was tall and thin, not talking much, and kept by Qingyun's side every step of the way.
He didn't stay by the emperor's side for a long time. He saved the emperor once, and was transferred to serve by the emperor's side. Later, when Huo Jingyun occasionally tested him, he realized that his martial arts were extraordinary.
The emperor handpicked him to serve Princess Qingyun, mainly to protect her safety.
He knew the story of the emperor and the queen, but he felt that the emperor's feelings for Princess Qingyun were very unusual. Because when he was about to come, the emperor personally instructed him to do many things.
When Qingyun and the others arrived at the restaurant, there were no single rooms in Fumantang. Xiao Jing said, "Then let's go to the lobby. The lobby is lively."
They sat behind the pillars in the hall.
Qing Yun ordered several signature dishes, and of course roast duck, and she asked Xiao Jing and Xiao Shuanzi to sit down and eat with her.
Xiaojing was not polite and sat down immediately, because in Shufang Palace, they often sat at the same table with the princess for dinner, but Xiao Shuanzi disagreed anyway.
Qingyun got angry, "Little Shuanzi, this is an order, am I still your master?"
Xiao Shuanzi sat down with a blushing face, with a cautious expression on his face.
Qingyun asked for a jug of sake, the three of them drank the wine, Qingyun started directly, gnawing on the duck wings. "Eat this, you have to tear it with your hands to enjoy it! You two don't have to be restrained, just do it."
Xiaojing tore a piece for Xiao Shuanzi, and he did it himself.
Qingyun said: "This Yuncheng has gathered famous food from all over the country, and now the emperor has issued an order to encourage famous food from other countries to open stores in Yuncheng. I heard that there is a snack street in front of it. Starting today, I will take each of you Try them all!"
Qingyun was eating happily, she saw a few people coming out from the private room next to him, the person in front was wearing a navy blue cloak and a hat, tall and straight, imposing, looking from the back, he looked very much like Huo Jingyun.
"Brother!" Qingyun called out.
The man didn't look back, they left in a hurry, and Qingyun could see the appearance of the two people behind, they didn't look like Daxing people.
"Brother? Huo Jingyun?" Qingyun called out twice, and they had already gone downstairs.
Xiao Jing said: "My master is wrong, it must not be Marshal Huo. You are so loud, Marshal Huo will definitely stop when he hears it."
Qingyun nodded, but when they went downstairs and turned a corner, Qingyun could see clearly that the man in the middle in front had a face like a crown of jade, and his brows were slightly frowned. When he heard Qingyun's call, his face turned slightly sideways.
He is really Huo Jingyun.
Around his neck, there is also a black fox fur collar. It was given to him by Qingyun.
Qingyun's face changed, "Sit here and don't move," she went downstairs quickly, and those people had disappeared.
Why did the senior brother not answer when he heard himself calling him? Didn't he go back to his hometown to visit his parents
Qingyun wondered, if it was really Huo Jingyun, why would he ignore him? Is he on a mission? Or did I really get it wrong
Back upstairs, Xiao Jing asked, "Is it really Marshal Huo?"
Qingyun shook his head, "No, I was wrong."
She believes that she is not mistaken, and she also believes that if it is really a senior brother, there must be a reason for him to do so.
After lunch, Qingyun took them to the theater again.
After I came out, I bought a lot of gadgets, food, medicine, and medicine.
Xiao Shuanzi carried a pile on his back and carried a pile in his arms. In the winter, sweating profusely.
Now he finally understands that serving a woman is really much more difficult than fighting a war.
Qingyun has the Tongyun order, which allows her to enter and leave the palace at any time, which was bestowed on her by the emperor. Because of her embarrassing status and the empress had just passed away, Ling Chen couldn't marry her right now. The emperor then gave her the Tongyun order that she could freely enter and leave any part of the palace.
When Qingyun and the others returned to the palace, they found that Shufang Palace was very strange, and it was strangely quiet.
She walked into the middle door of Shufang Palace suspiciously, and found Ling Chen sitting there with a serious face.
Seeing Qingyun come back with a bunch of things, he was angry and funny.
"I want to make a list of things and ask them to go out to purchase, why did I go out in person?" Ling Chen just returned to the palace today, and arrived at Shufang Palace as soon as he came back. Unexpectedly, Qingyun went out of the palace.
Ling Chen has been waiting here for an hour.
Qingyun said: "Shopping has its own fun, which is different from other people's shopping. Your Majesty, I will take you out for a walk when I have time."
Ling Chen said: "I have been away for more than ten days, and I want to eat your cooking."
Qingyun looked at his tall and strong man, usually with a majestic expression, but now he looked like a baby, thought it was funny, and felt warm in his heart: "Okay, just wait, I'll do it right away."
Qingyun quickly made golden porridge, roasted shredded bamboo shoots, mutton with his hands, dried shrimp mixed with cucumber, and heated up the roast duck he brought back. And serve him the medicinal wine she brewed.
When Qing Yun finished and served it to the table, he found that Ling Chen had fallen asleep lying there.
Qingyun didn't let him call him, just stood there watching Ling Chen.
He fell asleep like a child, frowning slightly, with his hands on top of his head. Qingyun remembers that Beiyi's concubine once said that no matter how old a man is, he is like a child, and you should love him like a child.
She brought warm water and gently scrubbed the dust on Ling Chen's face, nose, forehead, and ears. Qingyun looked at him, looked at this man, now, he only belonged to her.
She stared at him, and he opened his eyes suddenly, startled Qingyun, and blushed.
Ling Chen held her hand, "What are you looking at? Why are you blushing? What are you thinking?"
Qing Yun's face became even redder: "Hurry up and eat."
Ling Chen hugged her, feeling pity welling up in his heart: "Qingyun, from now on, I will never let you suffer any more grievances. I only have you, and you only have me."
Qingyun held his arm: "Yes, I understand." Tears welled up and fell down.
