Chapter 73 Why is this guy running so fast?

[People with guilty consciences are like this. If someone mentions something, they will start to have wild thoughts and become confused.]

At the welcoming banquet that followed, Jin Yunlie was so absent-minded that he even forgot his original plan.

When he returned to the envoy's post station, he was still very uneasy, so he immediately wrote a letter and sent it back to the Yuan Kingdom overnight.

He was now convinced.

There must be spies from Dayue Kingdom in the Yuan Kingdom’s harem!

Otherwise, such a secret matter would never be known by the people of Dayue Country!

He must purge all his confidants in the Yuan Kingdom!

Yu study.

"You have performed a great service in pacifying the border this time. I have decided to confer you the title of Marquis Xinwu."

Lou Changqing's eyes widened and he immediately knelt down to salute.

"Your Majesty, this reward is really too great. I really don't dare to take credit for it!"

Shangguan Lin chuckled, "This is the fame you have earned with your sword and knife, so why can't you be awarded a title of nobility?"

"I know that you almost lost your life several times while fighting on the front lines. You deserve this title of Xinwu Marquis!"

"Don't refuse! I will need you a lot in the future."

Lou Changqing sighed lightly and leaned over to thank him again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

At this moment, the voice of Eunuch Chen was heard outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the Concubine Chen has arrived with the Fifth Princess."

Shangguan Lin immediately said, "Let them in quickly."

Lou Changqing stood up slowly and just in time saw Chen Fei and Shangguan Sui walking in.

His eyes instantly turned red, and he whispered, "Sister..."

The Concubine Chen almost shed tears.

This was the first time she had seen Changqing since she entered the palace.

I didn't expect Changqing to be so tall now...

Shangguan Sui hurriedly took Concubine Chen's hand and pulled her to Lou Changqing's side.

She raised her head and shouted crisply.

"Uncle! You're back! Did you miss me and mom?"

Lou Changqing reached out and touched Shangguan Sui's hair and nodded vigorously.

"Well, uncle misses you very much."

Shangguan Lin saw this and immediately ordered, "Eunuch Chen, serve the meal. I want to have dinner with the general tonight!"

The Concubine Chen was slightly startled when she heard this.

But she soon realized that this was specially arranged by the emperor for her and Changqing.

I want to give her and Changqing a chance to be together.

Soon, a table full of delicious food was ready.

The concubine first served Shangguan Sui a bowl of chicken soup.

Then his eyes fell on the thin face of Changqing in the next building, and his eyes were full of heartache.

Chang Qing fought on the battlefield to protect his country, and I don't know how many injuries he suffered...

The Concubine Chen asked in a gentle and detailed voice.

I personally served him bowl after bowl of soup.

Shangguan Lin watched Chen Fei talking to Lou Changqing and couldn't help but frowning.

Every year, the Empress Chen would serve soup.

Lou Changqing also has Chenfei's soup.

But he only had Eunuch Chen to serve him soup...

Shangguan Sui turned around and saw Shangguan Lin, who looked a little lonely.

I couldn't help but laugh secretly in my heart.

[Hehe, my mother doesn’t want you~]

Shangguan Lin heard everything: ...

Very good, I feel touched.

Shangguan Lin lowered his head gloomily and pushed aside the soup that Eunuch Chen had served him.

He had just pushed the soup away when a bowl of hot chicken soup was placed in front of him.

Shangguan Lin raised her eyes and met the gentle eyes of Concubine Chen.

The concubine chuckled, "Your Majesty doesn't like chicken soup?"

Shangguan Sui continued to cover his mouth and chuckle.

[Hehe, he just doesn’t like to drink the chicken soup served by Chen Gonggong~]

When Shangguan Lin saw the chicken soup, her wrinkled brows instantly relaxed.

He quickly brought the chicken soup to me, cleared his throat and said, "I like chicken soup the most."

The concubine's voice was gentle.

"As long as the emperor likes it."

She was really grateful for the emperor's arrangements tonight.

It would allow her to have a good meal with Changqing.

Shangguan Sui drank the chicken soup in his bowl happily.

[Ah, as expected, this is my mother's chicken soup, it tastes so good! ]

Lou Changqing looked at the three people getting along harmoniously and warmly, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

Seeing that his sister and Suisui were living well in the palace, he felt relieved.

Outside the palace, rumors are always heard.

He said that his sister and Suishun were favored by the emperor, but he always listened casually and did not take it to heart.

It wasn't until I saw it with my own eyes that I realized the rumors were exaggerated...

However, as long as my sister and Suishun are happy, that’s all that matters.

When they are happy, he is happy.

The next day.

Shangguan Sui yawned and drank the lotus leaf soup in the bowl in a daze.

Qingping came closer with a wooden tray.

"My Lady, this is what the young master asked someone to deliver just now. He said he forgot to deliver it yesterday because he was too busy, so he only had time to deliver it today."

The concubine looked at the strange-colored and strange-shaped thing on the wooden tray and frowned slightly.

"Did Changqing say what this thing is?"

Qingping shook her head. "The person who sent the gift just said that this is a fruit that is special from the Western Regions."

Shangguan Sui, who was originally dazed, immediately came to his senses when he heard the word "fruit".

【Fruit? What kind of fruit? 】

Her eyes fell on Qingping's hand and her eyes immediately brightened.

[Isn’t this a cantaloupe?! I didn’t expect to see cantaloupe here! ]

The concubine Chen blinked her eyes. What melon?

She looked at Shangguan Sui and asked.

"Sui Sui, do you know how to eat this?"

Shangguan Sui nodded.

"Of course, you can just peel off the skin and eat it!"

[Cantaloupe is delicious! It’s her favorite! ]

Qingping suddenly realized what was going on and quickly prepared the cantaloupe, cutting it into small portions and bringing it up.

Shangguan Sui's eyes lit up instantly, and he picked up the small bowl and started to show off the cantaloupe.

The Concubine Chen looked at Shangguan Sui eating with tender eyes.

She turned to look at Qingping and asked, "Did Changqing only send a cantaloupe?"

Qingping shook her head and said softly.

"The young master sent a large carriage over, along with a lot of jewelry from the Western Regions."

"The young master specifically asked us to bring the fruit over first, saying that the little princess would definitely like to eat it."

[Wow! My uncle really understands me so well! ]

[When my uncle went to war, he said he would give me a gift when he came back. He really kept his word! ]

Shangguan Sui showed off a whole cantaloupe with great satisfaction

Before going to school, I even brought a box of sliced ​​cantaloupe with melon.

Shangshufang.

Shangguan Hong dozed off in his chair.

Hearing the sound coming from behind, he immediately woke up.

Shangguan Hong turned his head and looked over, his unruly brows narrowed and he smiled.

"Fifth sister, you're here!"

"You haven't been attending classes recently. The tutor only asked me one question during class. Fortunately, you came!"

Shangguan Sui smiled guiltily.

She really had something to do, so she just wanted to take a leave...

After all, she had already attended all the education she should have attended in her life.

Shangguan Sui took out the box and changed the subject.

"Fourth brother, I brought you some fruit, come and try it."

There was a look of confusion on Shangguan Hong's unruly face.

Looking at the yellow fruit in the box, he was even more confused and his hands did not move.

The little face was full of curiosity, "What is this?"

Shangguan Sui blinked and explained.

"This is Hami melon. My uncle brought it back from the Western Regions. It's delicious and sweet."

Although Shangguan Hong had never seen this thing before, he still chose to believe Shangguan Sui.

He took a tentative bite and his eyes lit up immediately.

"Delicious! So sweet!"

This is the first time he has eaten this fruit!

It’s really delicious!

Shangguan Sui smiled and said, "I said it was delicious~"

For the rest of the day, Shangguan Hong kept pestering Shangguan Sui and asking her for cantaloupe.

He was even willing to give Shangguan Sui the golden dagger that the Emperor of Xia had specially given him for protection.

"Fifth sister, please let me have another piece! I'll exchange this for yours, okay?"

Shangguan Sui glanced at the glittering golden sword.

I swallowed unconsciously.
