Chapter 69
Lu Xiaobai had made a travel guide on the way here.
Since He Zhou and He Yu both call He Qin "Second Brother", they should have an older brother.
The emperor should be the eldest brother.
But this eldest brother seemed to have never appeared in their mouths, so he asked the eunuch, and the eunuch told him that Prince Nanhe fell in love with a man, and this man was not a member of the Feng family.
According to the Nanhe ancestral system, no matter if the queen is a boy or a girl, even if she is a man, she must be a member of the Feng family.
Therefore, the royal family did not agree with the eldest prince marrying that man as his wife, and the eldest prince was unwilling to let the man he loved be his concubine, so he gave up the throne and retired to the mountains.
Therefore, Lu Xiaobai felt that if the Queen Mother opposed He Qin again, He Qin would run away with him, and there would be no one to clean up the mess of Nanhe.
Because her other brothers and sisters are all young, few of them are interested in the throne, and those who are eager to try do not have the ability, so she can only rely on He Qin.
Moreover, Lu Xiaobai also wanted to see if this place was really as they said, where he could live as freely as he did before.
So he just said it.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
She looked at Lu Xiaobai in surprise, remembering what Feng An said, that Lu Xiaobai was a country boy with no manners at all.
Selfishly speaking, her surname is Feng, so she should favor the Feng family.
But since she married the late emperor, she became a member of the He family. He Qin was her son, and she was more willing to consider her son's wishes.
Especially from Feng An's words, she felt that Lu Xiaobai and He Zhou had very similar personalities. After meeting, she found that he was also very beautiful and suitable for her second son.
But she didn't expect that this young man would speak so frankly and directly express her deepest concerns, which was quite sincere.
She smiled and nodded, took the apple and placed it in Lu Xiaobai's hand and said, "Not bad, come here, give me a reward."
Lu Xiaobai said this deliberately to see if the Queen Mother would be angry, but the result surprised him. Not only was the Queen Mother not angry, but she actually wanted to reward him?
Lu Xiaobai looked at the apple in her hand, took a bite, and asked with her beautiful big eyes, "Reward? What reward?"
The Queen Mother turned around and asked, "What do you want?"
Lu Xiaobai bit into his apple with a crunching sound. Upon hearing the Queen Mother's question, he said directly, "Well, well...I want to go find He Qin, is that okay?"
Although the Queen Mother was a little unhappy that her son was being addressed by his name, for some reason, she still smiled and said, "The Emperor is in court. He has been absent for so long. Today's court meeting will be quite long, so we can't go to him for the time being."
Lu Xiaobai nodded. He understood. It was just like his father was in a meeting at the company. He couldn't disturb him. So after thinking for a moment, he said, "Well, I'll just wait for him outside the hall."
The Queen Mother instantly understood Lu Xiaobai's intentions, smiled helplessly and said, "Then go. It's true that I'm getting old, and no one wants to accompany me. Chong'er ran away in anger, Qin'er is cold-tempered, and Yu'er likes to play. The other children are not caring. Only Xiao Zhouzhou is left to accompany me. Now that Xiao Zhouzhou has run away, no one wants to pay attention to me. My life is miserable..."
When Lu Xiaobai heard that he could leave, he quickly got up and ran, but after taking a few steps, he heard the Queen Mother sigh.
My heart softened immediately, and I thought of my mother in the modern world. I sniffed and turned around and said, "Mom is not old, and she is very beautiful. It's just that I want to see He Qin now. When he leaves the court, we will come together to accompany you."
After Lu Xiaobai finished speaking, he waved to the Queen Mother as he walked. It was not known whether the Queen Mother understood him or not, but he just smiled and ran away.
The young eunuch assigned to him by He Qin hurriedly followed him out.
The road to the harem was very long. Lu Xiaobai strolled around slowly, looking around as he walked, and found that these places were not as gorgeous as shown on TV, but their grandeur and magnificence were real.
Although it looks good, Lu Xiaobai hasn't eaten yet since he got up this morning. He didn't get to drink the porridge before doing something meaningful last night, and he didn't want to drink it after he finished.
Because of motion sickness, he hadn't eaten properly for several days, so he was hungry now, especially after eating an apple, which made him even hungrier.
When I'm hungry, I don't have the appetite to watch.
Lu Xiaobai pouted and wanted to find He Qin to take him to eat, but as soon as he reached the door of the harem, he saw a palace maid coming over with a plate of peach cakes.
He quickly stopped the person and asked, "It smells so good, who are you giving this to?"
Lu Xiaobai had just arrived at the palace and was a stranger. Although the clothes he wore were white, the pattern was of the queen-level pattern in the palace.
Although the young palace maid was puzzled, she still bowed and saluted, then said, "My lord, this was sent by the young master of the Feng family."
The young master of the Feng family?
This name seems a little familiar.
Lu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is it Feng An?"
Dare to call the future queen by her name?
The little palace maid looked at Lu Xiaobai in surprise, then nodded and said, "Yes."
"Why does he live in the harem?"
Lu Xiaobai asked in confusion, "Hasn't Feng An married He Qin yet? Why is she living here?"
The little palace maid said, "My Lord, according to the traditional rules of Nanhe, the person chosen to become the Queen must live in the palace from the day the new Emperor ascends the throne, even if they don't get married."
Moreover, due to certain relationships, Feng An entered the harem before He Qin ascended the throne.
Of course, these little palace maids would not say it out loud.
After hearing these words, Lu Xiaobai curled his lips and asked, "So these things are prepared according to the Queen's specifications?"
Little palace maid: "Yes."
"Then, then this is mine!"
Little Palace Maid:???
Lu Xiaobai raised his hand to take the plate of peach cakes away, took a piece and took a bite, then said to the surprised eyes of the little palace maid: "Don't be afraid that Feng An will blame you. Go back and tell him that my name is Lu Xiaobai, and from today on, all the things prepared for the queen must be sent to me. I, I live in..."
Lu Xiaobai didn't know where he lived, so he turned to ask the eunuch: "Where do I live?"
The young eunuch nodded quickly: "Report..."
Lu Xiaobai disliked the eunuch's slowness in speaking and urged him, "Don't report back, just speak directly."
"It's the Dragon Breath Palace."
"Yes, I live in Dragon Breath Palace. You can be sent there later."
Longxi Palace, that is the emperor's bedroom!
When the little palace maid heard this, her face changed immediately.
Lu Xiaobai nodded in satisfaction and said, "Remember, if those things are not delivered to me in the future, I will come to find them myself."
As for Feng An, he can forget about the position of queen!
After Lu Xiaobai finished speaking, he took the peach cake and ate it while walking, following the eunuch to the outside of the hall.
Because Lu Xiaobai's identity was unknown, he could not use the passage behind the palace like He Qin, and could only use the front door.
So, Lu Xiaobai lay outside the door and secretly took a look inside. He found that He Qin was sitting on the dragon throne with a majestic and solemn look, which was completely different from what he saw in Lujia Village.
Moreover, He Qin was wearing a black robe with a golden dragon pattern. Not only was the clothing formal, it was also quite handsome.
Lu Xiaobai praised his own gaze, smiled secretly, then turned around and sat down against the door.
There were many court officials standing in front of He Qin, and some of them were talking non-stop.
But Lu Xiaobai didn't want to listen to what they were saying. He just wanted to wait for He Qin to leave the court and then have dinner together. Unfortunately, they didn't seem to be about to end.
So, Lu Xiaobai sat by the door and ate peach cakes silently under the watchful eyes of the eunuch and the guards.
Today's morning court session was a bit long, but He Qin thought that Lu Xiaobai was tired these days, so he should have gotten up very late today.
But he didn't expect that before his morning court session was over, he would see Lu Xiaobai sticking his head out to look at the palace door.
He Qin's heart tightened instantly and he couldn't help but smile.
He Qin's smile startled the ministers. They suppressed their fear and asked, "Your Majesty?"
He Qin came back to his senses, listened to what the minister who was making the report said, and quickly called him out of the court.
There were still many things to report when the court was suddenly dismissed. Before the eunuch who announced the matter could react, He Qin ran down from the dragon throne in front of the ministers' surprised eyes, crossed the hall and came to the door.
There was only one peach cake left on Lu Xiaobai's plate. He had just taken a bite when He Qin came out. He asked in surprise, "Are you done?"
He Qin squatted in front of him, raised his hand to pinch his face, wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth and said, "Well, why are you running out here to get some fresh air instead of sleeping in the quilt so early in the morning?"
Speaking of this, Lu Xiaobai's eyes suddenly turned red. His little mouth moved and he swallowed the biscuit inside. Then he threw away the plate, took half a piece of biscuit and threw himself directly into He Qin's arms, choking and saying, "You still have the nerve to say that. You disappeared when I woke up. I was scared to death."
He Qin instantly understood Lu Xiaobai's feelings.
This place is different from Lujia Village. This is the imperial palace, a very unfamiliar place for Lu Xiaobai.
Lingyi and several other people who lived with him on weekdays were also missing. He was the only person closest to Lu Xiaobai. When he woke up in the morning and suddenly found himself missing, he might have thought he was abandoned.
He patted Lu Xiaobai on the back and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I won't abandon you. Are you hungry? I'll take you to dinner. What do you want to eat?"
Speaking of eating, Lu Xiaobai shook his head, raised the peach cake in his hand to He Qin, then wiped his tears, took another bite and said, "I'm full."
He Qin chuckled softly: "Then I'll take you out to play?"
"good."
Lu Xiaobai was full, so he passed the peach cake in his hand to He Qin and said, "I can't eat any more. You eat it, don't waste it."
He Qin was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and took a bite.
The minister who hurried out saw He Qin squatting in front of a young man, coaxing him in a low voice.
Eating snacks that others can’t finish and still looking gentle?
Seeing this, everyone gasped. When did their emperor become so approachable?
The ministers were watching the fun intently, but Lu Xiaobai felt uncomfortable.
It was the first time since crossing over that he was stared at by so many people. He felt a little flustered. He grabbed He Qin's hand and hid in his arms, saying to those people fiercely: "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a handsome guy before?"
