Chapter 338: Dividing Qi Rongrong and Her Son
In the big red tent, Xiao Yingchun was sleeping with rosy cheeks. Fu Chenan tiptoed onto the bed and got into the quilt.
As soon as he approached, Xiao Yingchun seemed to sense something and turned over and moved closer.
She stretched out her arms and legs skillfully and placed them on his waist and hips.
The long, even breathing paused, then continued.
Obviously, Xiao Yingchun snuggled up to him completely instinctively and was not awake at all!
Fu Chenan: ...
Damn that defenseless dependence...it makes him want it so much!
But he didn't dare to move because his own Crown Princess was pregnant.
Looking at the red clothes, red quilt and red curtains, everything was red. Fu Chenan sighed helplessly and contentedly, turned around and tucked the quilt for his wife...for a nap.
…
Today is the wedding of the Crown Prince of Tianwu Kingdom. The whole country is celebrating. The orphanage will also have extra meals, and everyone can eat meat!
In a remote corner of the yard, the mute Qi Rongrong and Prince Ping'an had no appetite for the bowl of meat and rice in front of them.
The two were unwilling, but could only look at each other and sigh.
Qi Rongrong: My son is getting married, and I am still suffering in this place?!
Why?!
Prince Ping An: The marriage of the Crown Prince of Tianwu Kingdom means that the Fu family and his son will begin to have descendants.
They will have princes and grandchildren of the Fu family, and then inherit the country from generation to generation.
As a former emperor of the previous dynasty, he would gradually be forgotten, slowly becoming a distant memory, and finally die quietly...
Just thinking about it makes me feel unwilling!
But what can we do?
What can he do?!
He originally thought that when Fu Chenan got married, he would definitely bring his mother into the palace.
He can go back with us.
Even if she cannot appear in public as the prince's biological mother, at least she will be treated better.
But who knew that what they got was just a plate of braised pork that everyone in the entire orphanage had.
Not even a separate side dish.
If they could have a bowl of meat in the Salesian home where they had to eat coarse grains and brown rice every day in the past few days, they would have been very happy.
But now, they couldn't be happy at all!
Prince Ping An thought about the secret guards in the palace who were hiding somewhere to monitor him. Finally, he could only sigh, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and began to eat voraciously.
Even if you are just pretending, you have to act as if you have no resentment.
Qi Rongrong glanced at her youngest son, stood up angrily and walked towards the room.
She can't eat this meal!
She is going to sleep!
The smell of meat in the yard gradually disappeared, but Qi Rongrong's anger grew stronger and stronger.
What? If he doesn't eat it himself, why doesn't Xu'er leave some for himself?
The smell has dissipated, they must have eaten it all!
She couldn't sleep at all. She rolled around in bed for a long time. Finally, she got up angrily and walked out of the yard.
There was no trace of King Ping An in the yard anymore. He must have gone to the kitchen.
Now, the mother and son are responsible for washing vegetables, picking vegetables, washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen every day.
With so many children and elderly people, and two meals a day, it would take them at least four hours just to wash, select, cut vegetables, wash dishes and sweep the floor.
It only took Qi Rongrong ten days to go from being able to cut with a knife to being able to use it smoothly.
Thinking about how she used to live a life of luxury in the palace, but now she had to do such rough work every day, she felt aggrieved.
If you don't do anything, you will only be given one black steamed bun a day.
She gave in in two days!
She was hungry, so she went to the kitchen to see if there was any leftover food.
Unexpectedly, the kitchen had left her a full bowl of braised pork rice.
The woman who was cooking was already washing the dishes. When she saw her coming, she pointed at the pot.
"Mummy, there's a portion of food left in the pot for you, eat it quickly, or it will be gone soon..."
There are many half-grown children in the orphanage, and they never have enough to eat every day. From time to time, someone will come to the kitchen to try his luck in finding food.
Sweet potatoes, roasted taro, rice crust... are all their targets.
Qi Rongrong knew that the old woman was telling the truth, so she had no choice but to take the food out of the pot and start eating.
After eating two bites, she suddenly burst into tears.
The old woman's face changed drastically: "Are you courting death? Today is the prince's big day, you are crying for no reason, be careful you get dragged down and beaten!"
“Wuwuwu…”
Qi Rongrong cried even louder!
Prince Ping An, who was washing dishes with his mother, glanced at her and said: That’s why she is crying!
But he wisely said nothing.
Fortunately, the usually sharp-eyed and sharp-eared Dean Scar seemed dead today and did not come over here at all.
The old woman was afraid that she wouldn't be able to explain clearly when someone came, so she simply dropped the work in her hands and left.
A half-grown child came in upon hearing the noise, and swallowed his saliva when he saw the bowl of braised pork with only two pieces eaten.
"Mummy, don't you want to eat? How about I help you eat?"
Qi Rongrong's crying stopped abruptly, and she glared at the boy fiercely: "┗|｀O′|┛嗷~~"
She held the braised pork in her hand protectively and shoveled it into her mouth along with the rice.
Seeing that he had no chance to gain any advantage, the boy looked around the kitchen carefully and found that there was indeed nothing to eat, so he left in disappointment.
Qi Rongrong ate the bowl of braised pork rice with tears in her eyes.
When she and Prince Ping'an returned to the courtyard, they were surprised to find a secret guard standing in the yard waiting for them.
Qi Rongrong: “Ah?”
The secret guard glanced at the two of them and said, "Your Majesty has summoned you. Let's go!"
The emperor wants to see me?
Are you asking me to go back to the palace?
Or do you want to kill yourself to silence yourself?
Qi Rongrong and Prince Ping'an followed the others out of the yard trembling with fear and got on the carriage.
The carriage did not go into the palace, but went to a simple courtyard.
In the warm room between the two courtyards, Qi Rongrong and Prince Ping'an saw Emperor Tianwu in casual clothes.
Prince Ping'an was taken to another room by the secret guards, leaving only Qi Rongrong and Emperor Tianwu in the warm room.
Emperor Tianwu pointed to the chair below and said, "Sit down!"
Qi Rongrong sat down obediently, feeling as if she was dreaming: she thought she would never see Fu Zhonghai again.
When Fu Zhonghai was still a butcher, her pride and fantasy in front of Fu Zhonghai had been completely wiped out after two months of washing and cutting vegetables.
Now Fu Zhonghai is the moon in the sky and the king on earth!
It is an existence that is out of her reach.
Seeing Qi Rongrong's trembling appearance, Fu Zhonghai said coldly: "How have you been these past two months?"
Qi Rongrong knelt down from the chair sleekly, prostrated herself on the ground, and gestured while sobbing.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please, let me go back! I will be obedient and never meddle in other people's affairs again..."
Fu Zhonghai didn't quite understand what she was saying, but he knew that she had been reminiscing about the good times she had experienced in the past two months.
"Have you seen Ying Niang? How is the woman you once desperately wanted to surpass doing now?"
"Do you still envy her life?"
Qi Rongrong shook her head like a rattle.
Of course not.
Yingniang was considered to have some say in the orphanage, but she had a few more slices of meat at every meal than she did, her meals were provided to her full, and she received a monthly stipend of one or two taels of silver.
She is certainly much better than the mute girl, but there is a world of difference compared to the precious empress dowager.
How could she be envious?
She now misses life in the palace so much!
If she were allowed to live her previous life in the palace again, she would definitely be obedient, eat well, and never meddle in other people's business!
But Fu Zhonghai spoke up: "It's not appropriate for you to enter the palace again."
"You will live in this courtyard from now on, and a few people will serve you, but you can't see An'er and King Ping'an anymore. Are you willing?"
Live here?
Can’t see An’er and Xu’er again?
Qi Rongrong subconsciously looked at the furnishings in the warm room...
