Chapter 311: Going out and becoming pampered
Yun Zhao could see that Mu Chengyan was deliberately delaying time.
A chess game that could be finished in one hour dragged on for three hours.
Just to have a roast chicken meal with her?
Yun Zhao didn't understand.
Mu Chengyan looked at Yun Zhao with eager eyes, "Is it okay? It's been a long time since I went out with you."
Fu Hai wanted to remind Yun Zhao that Xie Jingmo was waiting in the palace.
The result was just opened.
Yun Zhao had already said, "Well, go ahead."
Mu Chengyan's eyes immediately lit up and he nodded, "Then change your clothes and we'll go out."
Xie Jingmo stood at the palace gate and looked out.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
Deputy General Gao leaned against the door, his chest crossed. "Didn't Xiaodeng go ask? Didn't he say that bastard Mu Chengyan was deliberately delaying the game? Don't worry, he should be back soon."
Xie Jingmo pursed his lips. "You don't know, she can't eat much after dinner time. What time is it now? This Mu Chengyan only cares about himself and doesn't care about Yun Zhao's health!"
Xie Jingmo said this and walked straight out.
From a distance, a small stool came running over.
Xie Jingmo pulled the man back and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xiaodeng was panting. "Eunuch Fuhai asked me to tell the general that Mu Chengyan has invited the Queen Mother to eat roast chicken at Fumanlou, so you don't have to wait for dinner."
The eagerness in Xie Jingmo's eyes gradually dissipated.
In the end, only a slight sense of loss remained, "Oh, I see."
Xiaodengzi glanced at Deputy General Gao, who waved his hand and Xiaodengzi went down.
"Hey, it's just dinner, isn't it just roast chicken? Let's eat it too. I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you."
Xie Jingmo lost interest, the wolf-hair brush he had finished hanging beside him. He sat down on the stone bench at the door, like a stone waiting for his wife. "I have no appetite. Go eat."
The building is full of blessings.
Fu Hai poured Yun Zhao some wine, and Yun Zhao said to him, "Don't bother. You finally made it out here. If you want to eat something, go and have it yourself. You don't need to take care of things here."
Fu Hai smiled and filled Mu Chengyan's glass, then said, "Then I will go down first."
Mu Chengyan waited for Fu Hai to leave before being silent for a moment. He then said to Yun Zhao, "No matter how close you and Fu Hai are, a servant is always a servant. If you dote on him too much, he will easily overstep his bounds in the future."
It was past mealtime, and Yun Zhao had no appetite. He picked up a peanut and said, "No, Fu Hai has always been very sensible. Besides, he is not a slave to me."
We are friends.
However, even if I say this, Mu Chengyan won’t understand.
She had no intention of arguing with him about this.
Mu Chengyan pursed his lips, but couldn't help but say, "No matter how sensible I am, no matter how good my relationship with you is, he is still my subordinate. You shouldn't be too indulgent. I see you two sometimes sitting at the same table to eat, and Xie Jingmo is also oblivious. This is not right."
Yun Zhao put down his chopsticks and said, "There's such a table full of delicious food, aren't you going to eat it?"
Yun Zhao discovered that Mu Chengyan was a bit of a know-it-all. Perhaps it was because he had been the prince's tutor before, so he always spoke in a teaching tone.
Class consciousness is also very strong.
Mu Chengyan paused for a moment, "I know you don't like to hear it, but if I were like Xie Jingmo, trying to please you and follow your wishes, would you still be able to listen to honest advice? Yun Zhao, I'm doing this for your own good."
Yun Zhao lost all his appetite.
She nodded, not wanting to argue about this concept, "Eat it."
Mu Chengyan knew that Yun Zhao was unhappy, but there were some things he had to say.
This meal was eaten in silence.
When Fu Hai came back, he brought Yun Zhao some white jade cakes, which were porcelain white and exuded the fragrance of osmanthus.
"Queen Mother, try it. It's delicious. I tested it with a silver needle. It's non-toxic and safe to eat."
Yun Zhao reached out and pinched a small piece. The sweet taste of osmanthus spread in her mouth. She smiled and turned around to share it with Mu Chengyan, but she saw Mu Chengyan standing beside her, frowning and looking disapproving.
Yun Zhao didn't understand, "What's wrong?"
Mu Chengyan looked at the white jade cake. Fu Hai tore off a piece from the big piece first. Although Yun Zhao tore off a piece at the diagonal end, wasn't it the same as eating a piece of white jade paste for them?
After all, Fu Hai doesn't understand the rules.
We should give Yun Zhao a new one.
Yun Zhao felt puzzled.
Fu Hai understood Mu Chengyan's thoughts.
It was not convenient to kneel outside, so he apologized in a low voice, "It was my fault. I was so happy that I didn't pay attention." Fu Hai took out another piece from the cloth bag and handed it to Yun Zhao, "Your Majesty, this one is new."
In an instant, Yun Zhao lost his desire to eat.
She said "Oh", "It's late, let's go back."
Mu Chengyan escorted the person to the palace gate. When he left, he looked into Yun Zhao's eyes and said sincerely, "Zhao Zhao, I am doing this for your own good."
Yun Zhao nodded and smiled faintly, "I understand. Let's go back."
Yun Zhao's carriage moved slowly under the long palace wall.
Fu Hai didn't dare to speak.
Yun Zhao felt bored, so he got off the carriage and walked around the palace for a while before returning.
Before I even got close.
From a distance, I saw a man sitting on the steps of the palace.
Fu Hai felt despised tonight. He looked depressed and didn't dare to speak loudly. He just kept saying, "It's General Xie."
Xie Jingmo heard the voice and looked over.
I saw two people walking slowly towards me from a distance, with no smile on their faces.
"What's wrong?"
When Xie Jingmo spoke, his tone was sour, "Didn't you go to Fumanlou to eat roast chicken? Didn't you enjoy it?"
Yun Zhao walked in.
Xie Jingmo leaned over to Fu Hai and asked in a low voice, "Why do you look so frosty? And Yun Zhao is like this, and you are like this too, how come—"
Before he could finish the rest of the sentence, he heard Fu Hai's stomach growl.
Xie Jingmo's eyes widened. "Fu Man Lou didn't even feed you? Eunuch Fu Hai, you finally left the palace, what did you do? Why did you come back with an empty stomach?"
Fu Hai told the whole process.
Xie Jingmo blinked and pointed inside, in the direction Yun Zhao went in. "Where's she? Didn't she eat either?"
Fu Hai said: "She didn't eat much. The Queen Mother couldn't eat much after dinner time. She just ate a few chopsticks and came back."
Xie Jingmo was silent for a moment after hearing this, then he stuffed the wolf-hair brush in Fu Hai's arms and said, "Wait! This general will make you some authentic roast chicken!"
Fu Hai has never seen it.
Some people roast chickens right by the lotus pond, wrapping them in lotus leaves. One is on the top, and the other is hidden underground. Xie Jingmo said, "The one on top is smeared with honey, which is very thoughtful. The one underground is called a flower chicken, wrapped in lotus leaves. When you open it, you can smell the fragrance. Your queen mother likes this the most."
Fu Hai squatted beside Xie Jingmo and stretched his head to look.
After I came to my senses, I felt that I had overstepped my bounds and stepped back a little.
Xie Jingmo noticed it and glanced at him, "Hey - Eunuch Fuhai, you've been out for a while and you've become more delicate. What's wrong? Can't stand the smell of cigarettes?"
Fu Hai knew that Xie Jingmo was joking.
He lowered his head and let out a small but somewhat impudent laugh.
