In the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
After reading the memorial for more than an hour, Murong Qingli couldn't help rubbing his brows, then stood up and stretched his body.
"Guo Fu, what time is it now?"
"Your Majesty, it is just past the hour of You."
"What? It's already Youshi (five o'clock in the afternoon)?"
"Yes." Guo Fu was not sure what Murong Qingli was thinking, so he just nodded.
"If I remember correctly, Concubine Zhen left at about 3:00 p.m., right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Okay, I understand.
It's only been an hour since I last saw Empress Zhenfei, and I'm already missing her.
"Is there any news from Concubine Zhen?"
“No.”
"Did she send anyone over?"
“No.”
"Okay, very good! Get ready and go to the cold palace!" Murong Qingli's face suddenly became cold.
What on earth does this damn Si Muqiao mean?
I clearly agreed that I would come to see him soon after I got back with some things.
As a result, so much time has passed, but there is still no sign of her.
Did she really take him to heart?
"Yes, Your Majesty." Guo Fu looked at Murong Qingli, who had a slightly annoyed expression, and nodded obediently.
At the same time, he secretly lit a candle for Si Muqiao in his heart.
Murong Qingli, riding on a sedan chair, soon appeared at the gate of the cold palace.
When the guards in the cold palace saw him appear, they knelt down and saluted subconsciously.
He waved at those people, suppressing the words of greeting that they were about to say.
Along the way, anyone who wanted to speak a word of greeting was silenced by Guo Fu with gestures.
So, the three people who were lying on the recliners in the room, applying facial masks and chatting had no idea that Murong Qingli had arrived.
And he was standing outside and eavesdropping.
"Empress Zhenfei, the food made by these maids in your palace is so delicious, isn't it?"
"He is comparable to the chef in the imperial kitchen."
"When I'm free, can I come over and learn a few dishes from them?"
"Do you want to learn how to cook?" Li Zhaoyi asked.
"Yeah, yeah. I want to learn."
"I have only been interested in a few things since I was a child. The first is food, the second is storytelling, and the third is the pipa."
“If I can learn how to make those delicious dishes, I can cook them myself in Changqiu Palace in the future.”
"By the way, I also learned embroidery from my mother for a period of time."
"I had nothing to do a few days ago, so I embroidered a handkerchief for each of my two sisters. I'll have someone send it to you later."
"I hope the two sisters won't dislike it when the time comes."
"You can also embroider? Suzhou embroidery or Sichuan embroidery?" Simuqiao asked excitedly.
"I know some Suzhou embroidery and Sichuan embroidery, and I also know a little bit of double-sided embroidery."
"Wow, Miss Hao, I didn't expect you to be so talented!" Si Muqiao exclaimed in surprise.
"You are too kind, Empress Zhenfei."
"Compared with Empress Zhaoyi, there is a huge gap between me and her."
"Not only is Empress Zhaoyi proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she has also been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since she was a child, and knows everything about needlework, mathematics, riding and archery."
"Sister can only admire you." Lady Hao said sincerely.
"You're too kind. It's just something I learned to kill time when I had nothing to do. It's not worth mentioning."
Li Zhaoyi spoke in a light tone, and she didn't feel proud at all about what Lady Hao mentioned.
Those were the things her family insisted she learn since she was young, so she learned them.
It’s not difficult anyway.
Later, because she was really bored, she found some fun in poetry, piano and chess.
So, those are the three things she is interested in.
"You are so modest!" Simuqiao exclaimed.
With Li Zhaoyi and Hao Meiren's looks, temperament, and talents, if they were placed in modern times, they would definitely be the top stars in the entertainment industry.
If she has the chance to go home in the future, she will definitely find a way to bring these two people back.
Hehehehe…
"It's really some insignificant stuff, there's nothing to be modest about."
"It is you, Empress Zhenfei, who are truly amazing!"
"I can't wait to visit the zoo you mentioned," said Lady Hao.
"You mean the zoo? It's still early."
"According to the current construction speed, it will take at least another month."
"In addition, the road from the capital to the zoo needs to be made into a cement road."
“After the zoo is built, we need to bring in all kinds of animals.”
"The layout inside is different, and different animals have different living environments, so the areas they need to stay in also need to be designed differently."
“These are things that need attention.”
"Besides that, I also ordered people to make some things that can be used in the zoo when the time comes."
"Huh? What?" Li Zhaoyi asked.
"Keep it a secret for now. When the zoo is actually open, you will see for yourself and know for yourself."
Si Muqiao kept the question in suspense.
What she said made the two people even more curious.
After all, the two had never seen a zoo before.
Not to mention, Simuqiao also specifically suggested that something new would appear at that time.
It would be strange if they were not curious.
But there was nothing they could do. No matter how much they asked, Si Muqiao just wouldn't say anything.
"Empress Zhenfei, are all the animals in the zoo available?"
"Don't worry. His Majesty said he would find it for me."
"Prince Huo also mentioned before that he could recommend me a street that specializes in buying and selling various animals."
"Then I'll issue a prize announcement and solicit entries."
"Isn't this problem solved?"
Hearing what Si Muqiao said, Lady Hao immediately sighed.
"Empress Zhenfei, His Majesty is so kind to you."
"Don't worry, I will definitely write down your sweet past truthfully in the storybook, hehehe."
"When the time comes, my sister will arrange for Prince Huosang to join as well."
"Well, I will arrange Prince Hawthorne to be the infatuated man who wants you but cannot get you."
"He never refuses any request you make."
"Whatever you said, he will always keep it in his heart and mind."
"Whatever you want, I will find it for you even if I have to cross mountains and seas and go through hardships."
"Even willing to sacrifice my life for you."
"You don't know, once this kind of person appears in a storybook, everyone likes him very much."
“…”
Murong Qingli, who was eavesdropping outside, clenched his hands tighter the more he listened.
The slight curve at the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared.
Damn it, why was Hawthorne arranged like this?
He can obviously do these things!
That damn unknown woman kept whispering something in Si Muqiao's ear.
What if she mentioned Huo Sang too much and Si Muqiao accidentally took it to heart?
madness!
What a stupid woman!
"Oh, shit, I remembered I forgot something!"
Si Muqiao suddenly sat up and peeled off the mask on his face from the bottom up.
