Chapter 389 From now on, I allow you to call me Fifth Brother
He lowered his head and thought for a long time before he remembered that he was seven years old and the queen was four years old that year, so it was indeed true.
But he forgot what dish he stole. Was it this glutinous rice stuffed duck?
The queen seemed to be crying silently and didn't notice that he was standing behind her.
"At that time, I was young and afraid of being beaten, so I squatted in the corner of the garden with you to eat together. I didn't even dare to go out when my nanny came to find me. I thought you liked this dish, so I remembered it and have remembered it for so many years.
The next time I saw you was on our wedding day. I knew that the person I was marrying was you, the fifth brother who had been cheating on me in my kitchen.
Do you remember? You told me to call you Fifth Brother next time I see you, I remembered it, but you didn't let me call you that anymore."
The emperor's heart trembled. Did he stop her from shouting? Did he say that? How come he didn't remember it?
Wedding?
He was drunk on the day of his wedding, and his mind was full of that bitch Wei Hanyi. He had no recollection of what was said. He just consummated his marriage with the Queen in a hurry and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"You said it was her who screamed, so I couldn't scream. But I really had no choice! If she were still alive, I could snatch you back from her in front of her.
But she died. How can I compete with a dead person? If possible, I really don't want her to die. I want her to watch how I snatch you away from him step by step.
Fifth brother! Today is the day you came to my house to eat secretly, do you still remember? Maybe you have already forgotten it? It doesn’t matter! I just remember it. "
Walking over, the emperor held the queen in his arms and said, "I didn't remember it at first, but now that you mentioned it, I remember it. Ru'er! Why didn't you tell me that you were the little girl I threatened?"
The queen's maiden name was Jiang Wanru.
Staring at the emperor blankly, the queen's eyes were confused: "I haven't even drunk any wine yet, but I'm already drunk? Why is Fifth Brother here? And he's talking to me so gently? Shall we eat duck stuffed with glutinous rice together this year?"
"Eat!" He reached out to wipe away the tears on the queen's face, picked up the chopsticks at hand, picked up a duck leg, and handed it to the queen, "I remember that year you only ate the duck leg, and you didn't eat anything else. It all went into my stomach."
The queen laughed: "Not only that, I also ate a wing. You said there was no meat on the wing, so you gave it to me if you didn't want to eat it."
The emperor picked up a duck wing and put it in his mouth: "Actually, the wings are also very delicious, Ru'er! This dish you made is really inspired by your chef."
"I learned it on purpose, and I do it every year on this day."
The queen ate the duck leg without asking any questions, with a gentle smile on her face. As a queen for so many years, she knew very well that something must have happened if the emperor came here.
It looks like it's a good thing for them mother and son, otherwise the emperor wouldn't be so kind and there's deep guilt in his eyes.
The prince often complained that he was partial to the emperor, that he only liked the Prince of Qi and not him. No matter how hard he tried, he could not get any favor from the emperor.
Today, it seems that things are about to change.
She deliberately didn't say the word "your concubine" today, and used "I" to test the emperor, but the emperor was not angry.
"Why don't you ever talk about your childhood? I don't remember much of it anymore."
The queen smiled softly: "I don't want to say it, I'll wait for the emperor to find out for himself."
The emperor stared at her in a daze, forgetting to eat the duck wing in his mouth. After a moment, he turned his face away and said, "I felt so distressed when I found out. Ru'er! We are husband and wife. If I forget something important, you must remember to remind me.
For example, this glutinous rice stuffed duck is delicious and important, but I forgot about it without realizing it. "
Hearing this, the queen closed her eyes and burst into tears. She knew that the emperor was comparing people to vegetables.
Did he forget?
No, I probably didn't want to remember it on purpose.
Seeing her crying silently, the emperor put down his chopsticks, picked up a towel beside him, and gently wiped her tears: "Don't be sad, you are my queen, the future queen mother, if anyone makes you unhappy, just tell me clearly."
"emperor·····."
"Call me Brother Five!"
"ah?"
"From now on, I allow you to call me Fifth Brother."
The queen was stunned and asked blankly, "Why?" Isn't that her full-time title?
"There's no need to ask too many questions. You are my queen and my fifth brother's wife. I'll call you that from now on."
"Fifth...Brother!"
The queen called out and her cheeks suddenly turned red. She felt awkward and embarrassed to finally be able to call out the name she had been longing for.
Looking at the shy queen, the emperor's heart stagnated, his breathing became rapid, and his whole body became hot. He reached out and picked her up, and walked into the inner room.
The queen was extremely panicked: "Fifth brother! Fifth brother! It is daytime now. It is against palace rules to have sex in broad daylight."
"Ru'er! Don't worry about it. If anyone wants to cause trouble for you, just push it to Brother Five."
“Is this… okay?”
"What's wrong with that? Fifth Brother misses you very much."
Carrying the queen into the bedroom and closing the door, the emperor looked at his wife carefully for the first time.
She had a kind and slightly shy face, her clothes were taken off, and her skin was white, delicate and smooth.
"Ruru! You are so pretty. Fifth brother likes you very much."
After a while, the passion subsided, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and the emperor talked to the queen with his eyes closed.
"Wei Hanyi did not die that year, but went to the Northern Kingdom, entered the imperial palace, became the Northern Kingdom's current Imperial Consort Yi, and gave birth to a prince."
"What?" The Queen sat up in surprise. "How did she do it? Didn't Fifth Brother arrange for people to stay in the courtyard? Could it be that she bribed them all?"
"No! They were not bribed, they were all poisoned. Whoever dared to tell this would not be able to get the antidote and would die of the poison." The emperor sat up and talked about it lightly.
He was indeed angry at first, but for some reason, after he went to the People's Clinic and got the news that muskets could enter the Wei Dynasty, he was no longer angry.
When we talk about this incident again, it's like we're talking about something that happened to someone else, and we don't feel angry at all.
There was no point in being angry. He wanted to defeat the Northern Kingdom and force them to send Wei Hanyi to the capital, and then he would settle the score with her.
"Hiss! She is too cruel. She actually joked about human life." The Queen patted her chest. "Isn't she afraid of being discovered by my fifth brother?"
"Vicious people rarely consider the consequences of their actions. They are as vicious as they can be." The emperor sat cross-legged on the bed, chatting with the queen in a comfortable manner for the first time. "She is not afraid of being discovered by me because she thinks that her trick of escaping from the shell was used properly and will not leave any handle in my hands."
The queen didn't dare to speak. Wei Hanyi was the emperor's weak spot and could not be touched easily. Whoever touched her would be in trouble.
She is well aware of this and has always fulfilled her duties and never overstepped the line.
She didn't want to ruin this warm moment that she had finally gotten, nor did she want to spend the whole night hugging the quilt and lamenting in silence.
A man's heart is hard to predict. It's already good enough that he can give her a moment of warmth. She is not greedy.
