Xiao Muhong was frowning in the pavilion. When she saw Xia Chu approaching, she immediately put on a smiling face and greeted her. Xiao Muhong pulled Xia Chu to sit down and said angrily: "Why did it take so long?"
Xia Chu rubbed her head.
"I talked too much and made the Ninth Princess anxious."
Xiao Muhong didn't have any temper at all, so she took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and fed it to Xia Chu.
Xia Chu took it and ate it.
"Brother Chu." Xiao Muhong poured him another cup of tea and said diligently, "Can you go and meet my mother-in-law..."
Xia Chu choked on the tea she just drank and coughed a few times.
Xiao Muhong quickly patted his back and said, "Oh, my mother-in-law is very nice, she just wants to see you."
Xia Chu frowned, it seemed that he had to find a chance to tell Xiao Muhong. His love for her is not a relationship between men and women.
"It's getting late, it's almost noon. I have to go back. I guess the Emperor and Father are already looking for me. Ninth Princess, let's talk about it next time." After saying that, he stood up in a hurry, not giving Xiao Muhong a chance to speak. leave.
Back at Qingxin Palace, the emperor and the Marquis were really looking for Xia Chu.
Lunch has been set up in Qingxin Hall, waiting for him.
Xia Chu looked at the mountains of food in the bowl and looked at the Marquis. He looked at the bone plate filled with food and then at the emperor.
Ever since Mr. Hou gave Xia Chu the first dish with chopsticks, the two of them have been enjoying themselves in the situation of "if you pick up a chopstick, I will definitely pick up a chopstick too."
Xia Chu finally couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and sighed.
"What do you two want?"
The emperor stopped the Marquis' hand that was about to pick up the food, glared at the Marquis and said, "Wait a moment."
Then he turned to Xia Chu and said with a smile: "Chu'er will take a bite first."
Xia Chu had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks again.
Their eyes followed Xia Chu's chopsticks and landed on the piece of beef spread on the top of the hill in the bowl. When Xia Chu took it into his mouth, the Marquis laughed and said, "Look, the first chopstick is eating I got it, I got the beef."
The emperor said somewhat dullly: "What are you doing? It's just your piece that's easy to clip on top."
Xia Chu was speechless, and quickly picked out a piece of mushroom that the emperor had brought and ate it, which made the emperor's expression slightly improve.
Xia Chu held his forehead, looking at the two men in their forties who were as childish as the boss's children, not knowing what to do. He put down his chopsticks, filled two bowls of chicken soup, and handed them over.
The emperor looked at the bowl of chicken soup in front of him, thought about it, and exchanged it with the bowl of the Marquis.
"What are you doing?" Mr. Hou was puzzled.
"This bowl was filled first." The emperor said proudly.
This time even the Marquis couldn't help laughing.
Xia Chu's head was as big as a bucket. He knew that the Marquis and the Emperor had a youthful friendship.
Little did he know that he was so good that he no longer had an honorific title.
He also knew that the emperor liked him, but he didn't know that he liked him so much.
Although the emperor in her previous life was very fond of her, she followed Xiao Yanjun inseparable all day long, and she had never seen the emperor like this.
The emperor's favor is so great that it's really unbearable...
Xia Chu pressed her temples and finished the meal with difficulty.
After lunch, the emperor wanted to keep the Marquis to play chess. Xia Chu hurriedly said that he and his father stayed up all night last night. My father's body can't stand it anymore, and my body can't stand it either. The emperor just gave up and let them out of the palace.
Xia Chu quickly pulled the Marquis out of the palace. Watching the Marquis in high spirits along the way, I couldn't help but sigh: My father's body is so good...
Finally returning to the mansion, Xia Chu dove into bed. I told Mo Xiang before going to bed, but no one was there. Then he fell asleep amidst the endless sound of firecrackers.
I slept until midnight. Xia Chu woke up in the middle of the night and was in great spirits. He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep anymore. He simply got up and ran to knock on Su Qian'an's room next door.
Su Qian'an had returned to her house long ago, and Mo Xiang said that when the young master came back in the afternoon, he would not disturb his sleep. He then went to Su Yuan to see Su Qianle, sat there for a while and then went back to the room to rest early. At this time, I heard Xia Chu knocking on the door. Startled from the bed, put on some clothes and opened the door.
Xia Chu carried two jars of wine and some side dishes from the kitchen. Standing at the door, covered with a soft moonlight, she said to him: "Drink?"
Su Qian'an quickly turned sideways to let him in. After closing the door, get dressed and sit down with him.
Xia Chu had already opened two teacups to fill the wine, put peanuts on it, patted cucumbers and started drinking. Seeing Su Qian'an sit down, she motioned for him to drink together.
The two of them chatted one after another.
Xia Chu deeply discovered that Su Qian'an was really not a good drinking buddy. At this moment, he missed Yingzhi extremely. If I had known this, I might as well have spent some time trying to lure him out...
