Chapter 63 Don’t regret it in the future

It's getting dark.

Chang'an and Deshun picked up the palace lanterns and hung them on the porch in front of the door.

Tinglan and Qinghe lit the candles in the house.

Ningxiangju became bright inside and out.

Shouzhong waited for Tinglan and Qinghe to come out, then walked over and asked, "Master, would you like something to eat tonight?"

"Master didn't say anything." After listening to Lanxiang, she thought, "Master Luo is not in a good mood today. You can make something spicy to stimulate his appetite."

Shouzhong nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "It's time to nourish your body in autumn. I'll make you a spicy lamb stew with sour bamboo shoot soup, and two sweet and sour side dishes."

Ting Lan nodded: "It's quite refreshing. I hope the master can eat more tonight, and the other master can also eat more..."

Both of them nodded.

Over the past few days, perhaps because he found pleasure in watching Love eat, the emperor was not so averse to food anymore, and he usually ate his three meals on time.

Especially when he sees the delicious food that Love uses, he will eat more.

Shouzhong and the others cooked in various ways, hoping that Luo Fu could use more of it.

The food was ready. Tinglan and Qinghe brought it into the main room and set it on the table. Then he went into the bedroom and called out, "Master, the food is ready. Come and have dinner."

Luo Fu was sitting on the couch playing chess with Chang Jin. She responded but didn't go over immediately.

Her white pieces on the chessboard were losing ground, but she didn't think too much about it and just placed the pieces casually.

Murong Jin simply increased his offensive and in just a few steps surrounded the white pieces until they had no chance of turning around.

"Your Excellency has lost, go and have dinner."

Luo Fu had no appetite, so her movements were slower than usual. She put away the chess pieces before sitting down at the table in the main hall.

Qing He poured a small bowl of sour bamboo shoot soup and placed it in front of Luo Fu, saying with a smile, "Tonight we have the sour and spicy taste that the master likes. The master must eat more."

Luo Fu nodded, but only drank half a bowl of soup and ate two small pieces of mutton. She left the remaining two side dishes untouched, then put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, "I'm done, please leave."

Tinglan and Qinghe's expressions became tense, and they glanced at Murong Jin.

Murong Jin frowned and said, "I can't concentrate on reading, I'm distracted when playing chess, and now I can't even eat. Is your Excellency so worried about that concubine?"

Luo Fu said, "It's not as serious as you say. I just have a poor appetite. Don't worry about me. Go eat. I'll be fine tomorrow."

As she spoke, she rinsed her mouth and washed her hands, then stood up and went back into the bedroom.

Murong Jin followed her in and saw her sitting under the south window, staring at the flowers outside in a daze.

Murong Jin didn't like seeing her like this, so he walked over and sat down next to her, half circling her and said, "It's just a small matter, don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Luo Fu retracted her gaze and looked at him: "I have no idea how you can solve this problem."

Murong Jin said, "Have you forgotten, my lord? I often travel and know many people."

Luo Fu was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "You want someone to pass the message to His Majesty?"

Murong Jin said, "Your Excellency is truly clever."

Luo Fu was worried: "It's not that easy to be in front of His Majesty. What if something goes wrong and angers His Majesty? You'd better not take such a risk."

Murong Jin listened to her caring words, his expression gradually becoming satisfied, and he said lazily, "There's no other way. If I don't take this risk, my noble lady will be so worried that she won't be able to eat or drink. What can I do?"

Luo Fu was a little amused. "I haven't lost my appetite at all. I just feel a little sad because I have such good food and shelter while Sister Xiangjun and the other selected ladies have such a hard time. I can't stay like this forever. I'll be fine tomorrow."

Murong Jin raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Seeing him like this, Luo Fu was afraid that he would not obey, so she grabbed his arm and warned him, "Don't disobey me. The method you mentioned makes sense, but I haven't thought it through yet. Let me think about it before doing it."

If the message could really be delivered to His Majesty, it should be in her name. In this way, even if something went wrong and His Majesty blamed her, there would be room for easing the situation. After all, she is a noble lady and His Majesty's concubine, so there would always be a chance to make things clear.

It's just that she was a little scared, so she needed to think about it.

She wasn't actually as brave as Chang Jin.

Murong Jin lowered his eyes and looked at her hand that was holding his arm.

White and tender, like scallion.

It looked even better when held on his dark sleeve.

He subconsciously held that hand, breathing in the floral scent on her body, and responded hastily.

She was somewhat dissatisfied with the arrangement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She had to worry about the selection of concubines to live in the old palace. She was afraid that she would not be able to sleep well tonight.

As he was thinking this, he raised his eyes and found that the beautiful woman was looking at him. He didn't know what she was thinking about, but her peach blossom eyes were shining.

Murong Jin held her hand a little tighter: "What are you thinking about when you look at me like that, my Lord?"

Love let him hold her hand and smiled, "I was thinking, how nice it is that I met you." Because she hadn't eaten much, she took the risk to solve the problem that worried her.

This kind of affection is even greater than that between Rhizoma Coptidis and Honeysuckle.

Shanglu and Honeysuckle have been with her for many years, so it is understandable that they have done this.

He had only been with her for more than two months, but he was able to do this for her. She could see his love for her.

With someone like this devoted to her in the inner court, she won't be alone on the long journey.

Murong Jin raised the corner of his mouth, completely encircling her, and his sticky and sickly expression was almost unable to be concealed: "This is what the noble said, the noble must not regret it in the future."

Luo Fu shook his hand back, nodded and smiled: "Of course I don't regret it."

How could she regret meeting a sister who treated her sincerely?
