Ning Chen was so angry that he left the Cining Palace without getting in the sedan chair and just walked forward.
The servants following behind didn't dare to make a sound.
Yuan Jiu wanted to ask, but when he saw the emperor's gloomy face, he gave up.
I muttered to myself, maybe I should go to see Concubine Wende.
Whenever the emperor was in a bad mood, he would go to Chuxiu Palace.
But as I walked along, something seemed wrong.
Further ahead is Yuxiu Pavilion.
Yuan Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly, waved to a young eunuch behind him and whispered a few words. Then he saw the young eunuch leave the team and take a shortcut.
In less than an incense stick of time, Ning Chen saw the gate of Yuxiu Pavilion.
He couldn't help but frown, he knew in his heart that he had walked here unconsciously.
I was so angry just now that I didn't even look at the road.
But since we're here, we might as well go in.
As soon as I reported it, I saw a snow-white, round ball rushing out of the house.
Nian Gao has grown very big, just like a ball. Its tail is wagging high and its pair of round grape eyes are staring at Ning Chen with joy.
I don’t know if I was taught by someone or if I was just smart, but I trotted over and rubbed Ning Chen’s leg, calling out twice in a tender voice.
Such a pure and cute little thing is undoubtedly a good medicine to soothe irritability. Ning Chen looked at the puppy at his feet and his eyes relaxed a lot.
"Your Majesty is here. I was fiddling with my new hair with the maids. I am sorry for being unbecoming. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The girl came out with her skirt lifted up. She was wearing a light pink jacket and skirt trimmed with rabbit fur. Her hair was half loose and her face was bare, making her look very young.
Yuan Jiu was confused. Wasn't the information leaked in advance? Why wasn't this person prepared
Glancing back, the eunuch who delivered the message nodded with certainty to indicate that he had delivered the message.
Yuan Jiu withdrew his gaze. He didn't quite understand what Concubine Ming was doing, but when he saw the emperor's eyes gradually softening, he still felt relieved.
If the emperor doesn't calm down, the servants will suffer in the end.
"Your hands are so cold, why don't you wear more clothes?"
Ning Chen stepped forward, helped the man up, and led him into the house.
Ye Jun had a faint smile on her lips, "Your Majesty's hands are warm, holding mine will not be cold."
The two of them sat down in the room and Huiyue served them tea.
Looking at the red plum petals floating in the cup, Ning Chen wondered, "What kind of tea is this?"
"It contains plum blossoms, so it must be plum blossom tea. I saw the plum blossoms on the branches were in full bloom, so I picked them and made tea. The tea is made from the melted snow on the plum blossom petals. Your Majesty, please try it."
As he spoke, Ye Jun picked up the cup and took a sip.
Ning Chen looked at her, tasted it, and a strange look flashed across his eyes.
"Although it's not as sweet as tea, it also has a unique cold fragrance. I didn't know you had such a clever idea."
"Of course the emperor doesn't know. He probably thinks that I can only shoot arrows and bully others."
"No matter how much I praise you, you still don't feel happy." Ning Chen put down the cup, a smile appeared in his eyes.
This woman's coquettish look is really special and cute.
Ye Jun rolled her eyes and snorted, "Your Majesty is angry and comes to me. He looked so gloomy just now, which makes me panic. Don't scare me next time."
She really didn't want to do this kind of thing, like stroking the dragon's fur.
It's good to have your head moved away all the time.
"You really are!" Ning Chen gritted his teeth and couldn't help but reach out and pinch the girl's face, "Others are looking forward to my going, but you dare to despise me!"
Ye Jun felt pain and wanted to pinch his face with his hands.
But his arms were short and he could only make two strokes in the air.
Ning Chen couldn't help laughing at the funny look, and he couldn't stop for a while.
"Your Majesty is a bully. There wasn't much plum blossom tea, so I made some for Your Majesty. Your Majesty said I despised you. That's totally unreasonable!"
Ning Chen laughed for a long time, and finally stopped, waving his hands, "Alright, alright, I'm just kidding, I'll ask Yuan Jiu to bring you some good tea later, as my apology."
Yuan Jiu, who was guarding outside, breathed a sigh of relief.
My goodness, it’s no wonder that Concubine Ming is favored. She is the only one in the harem who can make the emperor happy.
However, the admired Ye Jun was only thinking about eating at this moment.
Somehow, I really want to eat braised pork with bamboo shoots today.
But where are the bamboo shoots in winter? Even the winter bamboo shoots are eaten in October.
Fortunately, the imperial kitchen replied that there were dried bamboo shoots that were sealed. They would definitely not taste as good as fresh ones, but they were also good for stewing meat.
It mainly depends on how the chef cooks it.
The meals in Yuxiu Pavilion are naturally prepared with great care, and the final results are extremely delicious.
Not only did I make braised pork with bamboo shoots, I also stewed a pot of soup with dried bamboo shoots, which was very delicious.
When it was served on the table, Ye Jun drank a big bowl of it first.
Ning Chen looked at her happiness and couldn't quite understand.
Logically speaking, the Ye family is a wealthy family with a solid financial background, so why does their daughter love to eat so much? It’s as if they have never eaten before.
"Your Majesty, look at what I am doing. This soup tastes great. Your Majesty, please have a bowl too."
After he finished speaking, he served a bowl to Ning Chen without further ado.
In fact, Ning Chen doesn't like drinking soup.
He is in good health and has a hot body. He tends to sweat easily after drinking soup, and his body feels sticky and uncomfortable.
However, seeing the young woman in front of him inviting him so enthusiastically, he still drank a bowl.
It tasted good, but he only drank one bowl and didn't touch it again.
Ye Jun, on the other hand, drank three bowls in a row.
Drinking soup in winter is really comfortable.
Putting down the small bowl, Ning Chen looked a little gloomy and was eating the food quietly.
I guess I laughed too much, and my previous emotions came back again.
"Your Majesty has come to my place, why are you still thinking about other things?" Ye Jun calmly picked up a piece of braised pork for him with chopsticks, "Don't let me think that Your Majesty is in Cao's camp but his heart is with Han."
"What?"
Ning Chen naturally didn't understand this word, so he looked over in confusion.
Ye Jun raised her eyebrows, "It means that the emperor is here with me, but his mind is somewhere else, and he is distracted even when eating."
"How could that be? I was just thinking about some government affairs and lost my mind for a moment."
It is impossible to admit it if you have never heard of this word. The emperor must be knowledgeable and talented.
But I'd better look through the book when I get back. Is it really possible that he hasn't read it
"Whether His Majesty is thinking about government affairs or Cining Palace, I have no right to interfere. The only thing is that since His Majesty has come to Yuxiu Pavilion, he should only think of me."
The girl raised her hands and held the man's face. The soft touch made him dazed.
Those peach blossom eyes were a little gentle, like a hot spring, suddenly flowing into the heart, bringing warmth.
Ning Chen's Adam's apple moved, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Then Your Majesty, please have a good meal now. It's cold outside, so don't go out for a walk. Go to bed after dinner. Huiyue just changed her bedding today, so it's very warm."
Ye Jun spoke softly, a smile on his lips.
Although stroking the emperor's hair feels like coaxing a child, isn't Ning Chen a wounded child at this moment
After dinner, the two of them went to bed early.
Ning Chen was in a really bad mood today and had no interest in doing anything. He just held Ye Jun in his arms like a baby.
It seems like this will help me sleep more peacefully.
Ye Jun had no objection anyway. It was so cold in winter and it was just the right way to warm up the body.
