"Isn't this good?" Helian Lingfeng asked, looking at the sumptuous breakfast on the table.
A Bao stood aside and bowed, "Your Majesty, my young lady is weak, so her breakfast usually consists of shredded chicken porridge or other light porridge and side dishes."
Helian Lingfeng looked up at her, and the fierce look that flashed across his eyes almost scared Abao to his knees.
"She has already married this prince. You should address her as the Queen."
Po lowered his head and said quickly, "Yes, Your Majesty."
After receiving the answer, he put down the bowl with satisfaction, "What does your Queen Dowager want to eat? Go to the kitchen and arrange it now. From now on, my meals will follow your Queen Dowager's order. Whatever your Queen Dowager eats, I will eat."
All the people standing and serving in the palace lowered their heads in fear.
It seems that the king really likes the new queen, and he changed his eating habits after so many years.
Logically speaking, even if there is a need for compromise between the two, it should be the Queen Mother who accommodates the King.
How is this the opposite?
"No need." Tu Qingyu stopped him, "You still have official business to attend to. You won't feel hungry at all if you drink porridge with me."
"You can still eat these. We can eat our own food. There's no need for anyone to accommodate anyone else."
"But it's nice to change the taste once in a while, and do you think I won't have anything to eat when I'm hungry?"
After saying this, he looked at his chief steward and said, "Go down and prepare."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The kitchen worked quickly, and the fish and meat on the table were quickly cleared away and replaced with chicken porridge, a few freshly baked pancakes, and a few plates of refreshing side dishes.
Tu Qingyu was very satisfied with such a breakfast.
Helian Lingfeng was very satisfied to see that she could eat well.
After dinner, he went to discuss something with the concubine.
"What?!" A cry of surprise came from the concubine's study, "You said you won't hold the concubine selection?!"
Helian Lingfeng nodded calmly, "You want your son to choose a concubine, isn't it because you're worried that I'll be lonely in the future?"
"Now that I've found the person I want to spend my life with, there's naturally no need to choose a concubine."
The concubine suspected that she had heard it wrongly. She asked suspiciously, "Feng'er, do you know what you are saying?"
"Looking across the entire desert, can you find any man with even a little power who only marries one? Besides, you're the king of the entire desert!"
"The selection of a concubine has already been announced to all tribes. Now you say you won't be selected? How will others view you, and how will they view the Great Desert Royal Court?"
"What do you think?" He sat there nonchalantly, picked up the drink on the table and drank it all in one gulp. "It's just a selection of concubines. With the iron cavalry of the desert here, what will they think?"
Having come this far and holding great power, does he still need to be afraid of any subordinate tribes?
If they dare to rebel against such a small matter, it shows that he is incompetent as a king.
The concubine's chest heaved violently at these words, "You are the king of Mobei!"
"Yes, I know." He nodded calmly. "Is it forbidden for the King of Mobei to marry only one wife?"
"Mother." He looked at the concubine with a cherished expression, "They marry Dona either because they are lustful or they want to form an alliance, but I am neither lustful nor do I need an alliance. I only want her."
"I've made up my mind on this matter." He said without hesitation and stood up. "My son has some things to do in the barracks, so I'll take my leave now."
"She just arrived and isn't used to it yet. Let's meet her tomorrow."
The concubine looked at his tall back and felt dazed for a moment.
Her child eventually grew up, becoming even stronger and more terrifying than his father.
This was not Tu Qingyu's first time in the royal court. She wanted to go out for a walk, but considering her current state of sorrow and despair, it seemed inappropriate for her to go out for a stroll alone.
It was when Helian Lingfeng came back in the afternoon that he realized she had stayed in the palace the entire day without going out, so he took her hand and walked out.
Above the endless grassland, the setting sun brings a sky full of rosy clouds.
Helian Lingfeng pointed at the clouds in the sky, "Aren't these beautiful?"
"nice."
"Yeah." He nodded, said nothing more, and pulled the person to a stream.
The brook gurgles, sparkling golden in the setting sun. Not far away, cows and sheep are drinking water and eating grass.
To be honest, this scene is really beautiful and makes people relax subconsciously.
Helian Lingfeng looked at her obviously relaxed expression, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
When he wanted to hold Tu Qingyu's hand again, Tu Qingyu walked away.
Looking at the hand he stretched out, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly lowered his head and smiled.
They walked outside for half an hour, and when they were about to go back for dinner, they met a boy.
He walked quickly over and stood in front of Tu Qingyu, and stretched out his hand in a baby voice, holding a bunch of colorful flowers.
"Is this for me?" She bent down and smiled gently.
When the boy came over, she realized that he was the boy she saved that day.
She reached out and took the flowers. "Do you know me?"
The little guy looked at her, then turned around and pointed at the woman standing not far away, "My mother told me that it was the Queen Mother who saved me. Thank you, Queen Mother."
Tu Qingyu looked in the direction his finger pointed and saw a woman in plain clothes bowing to them.
She reached out and rubbed the child's head, "You're welcome."
He reached out and felt her pulse again, "Are you still feeling unwell now?"
"No, no, no." The boy shook his head. "I always take the medicine that my mother gives me."
Helian Lingfeng just stood there, watching her talking to the boy with a gentle expression.
I wonder when she will talk to me with such an expression again.
After going out, the atmosphere between the two of them became much better, at least that's what he thought in his heart.
As soon as they returned, they were invited to dinner at the Dowager's Palace.
"Meet the mother."
The two of them saluted, and the concubine just glanced at Tu Qingyu and then called out.
She knew clearly that this son was not something she could control.
She couldn't even make things difficult for the little girl her son liked, otherwise her relationship with her son would become increasingly distant.
"Dinner is ready, let's eat."
Half of the dishes on the table were Tu Qingyu’s favorites, and it was obvious that they were carefully prepared.
Helian Lingfeng picked out the ones she liked and served them to her. During this time, the concubine looked at him frequently, but Helian Lingfeng pretended not to see.
The two of them got along in this bland way, and no one broke this pattern.
Until Helian Lingfeng went on another expedition.
"This time we are fighting against Zhongyuan. Do you have anything to say to me?" He looked at Tu Qingyu with burning eyes.
Tu Qingyu looked at the armor on his body and said seriously, "Return safely."
"Okay!" he answered loudly, "Wait for me to come back!"
This wait lasted for three months. After winter came, good news came from the front. The king captured five cities in the Central Plains in one fell swoop.
The Central Plains sent an envoy with the princess, wanting to marry her!
