"My lady, go back to the house and wait. It's cold outside."
Wang De tried to persuade her several times, but the Queen Mother remained unmoved. She kept sticking her head out and looking outside until a little palace maid ran in hurriedly.
"My lady, the prince is here."
The Queen Mother was so excited that she was about to go out, but a boy of about five or six years old came running over.
"Mother."
"My son..."
The Queen Mother touched Prince Ruyang's face and looked at him carefully.
"You've lost weight." The Queen Mother's eyes were red.
Prince Ruyang said with a smile: "Mother, I have grown taller."
The Queen Mother looked at 놛 and smiled: "You have indeed grown taller."
Today, the imperial kitchen sent delicious wine and food, and Prince Ruyang ate happily. The Queen Mother opened her mouth, but said nothing in the end. She originally wanted to complain, saying that the emperor was not good to her and that the emperor abused her, but she didn't want Prince Ruyang to worry, so she didn't say anything in the end.
"Eat more." The Queen Mother picked up a piece of meat for Prince Ruyang and asked casually, "Have you seen the Emperor?"
Prince Ruyang nodded: "The emperor said that a banquet will be held tomorrow to welcome me."
The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "You are good at putting on a show."
Prince Ruyang smiled and asked, "How is the court going lately?"
The Queen Mother frowned and said, "It's still the same. If you don't go to the capital, those noble families will take advantage of you again."
She briefly talked about what had happened in the court recently, then she lowered her voice, pointed to her head and said, "The emperor is ill, but the ministers don't know about it yet. If they knew..."
Prince Ruyang ate a lot.
"Mother, do you think he is pretending?"
The Queen Mother was stunned: "What are you pretending for?"
She said in a deep voice: "Pretending to be sick? You can't do that?"
Prince Ruyang's innocent face showed a complicated smile: "Mother, don't forget what the law is. We have suffered a lot in the law."
The Queen Mother remained silent, and suddenly she was no longer sure about the news she had received.
Is he pretending?
Could it be that the emperor was deliberately putting on a show to lure her into the trap?
It's not impossible.
"But what if it's true?" The Queen Mother said unwillingly, "If you are really sick, we must not let go of this opportunity."
Prince Ruyang ate a cold chicken leg and said, "We need to plan carefully."
놛 smiled and said, "I'm giving my brother a great gift."
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded.
…
The next day, An Jiu had kneaded the dough. The dough was about to rise and it would be delicious when cooked.
Aunt Qu came over to heat up the food sent from the imperial kitchen. An Jiu took a look and found that the dinner was quite light, but it looked delicious and appetizing.
"Aunt, have you eaten?" An Jiu asked.
Aunt Qu shook her head: "Not yet."
An Jiu said, "I made too much noodles. I don't think Your Majesty can finish it. I'll get you a bowl."
Aunt Qu wanted to say no need to bother, but thinking that it would be great to have a bowl of steaming hot noodles on such a cold day, she nodded.
An Jiu cooked a bowl of rice for her first. While it was heating up, Aunt Qu ate it. She sweated while eating and felt her whole body warmed up instantly.
An Jiuzi also ate a bowl of noodles. She also pickled some vegetables in the autumn, such as beans, eggplants, cucumbers, mustard greens, etc., and put them in a small plate and brought them over with the noodles.
The Guanghua Hall was large, and despite the brazier, it was not particularly hot. Imperial Physician Jiang had also arrived and was playing chess with the emperor. When he saw the food being served, he sat down opposite the emperor.
Then……
"You have noodles? Give me a bowl too." Jiang Sheng said casually.
Just as An Jiu was about to leave, the emperor snorted, "Isn't this much food enough for you?"
Jiang Sheng frowned slightly: "Cousin, it's just a bowl of noodles..." After a pause, he looked at the noodles and then at An Jiu.
"So it was Xiao 깇 who made it. No wonder it's still hot." I felt hungry just by looking at it, and didn't think much about it.
But even if it was made by Xiao 깇, what's wrong with giving 놛 a bowl?
놛 picked up the chopsticks and ate some of the food sent by the imperial kitchen. Then he looked at the steaming and delicious noodles and swallowed his saliva.
There are eggs in this noodle.
And then with pickles...
Jiang Sheng looked at the emperor who was slurping noodles, and then looked at An Jiu.
An Jiu was stared at and felt uncomfortable. Seeing that the emperor had finished eating, he asked, "Your Majesty, do you want more?"
Emperor: “Yes.”
An Jiu said: "I will go and cook another bowl."
Jiang Sheng: "Bring me a bowl too."
This time the emperor had no objection.
After An Jiu left, Jiang Sheng put down his chopsticks and looked at the emperor: "Cousin, something is wrong with you."
The emperor was impatient: "Speak."
Jiang Sheng said: "Were you jealous or distressed just now?"
The emperor frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Jiang Sheng smiled: "If you like it, just accept it. It's not a big deal. You are the emperor. It is her honor to have a little maid."
The emperor rolled his eyes and said, "Shut up, I didn't."
Jiang Sheng stopped talking.
놛 feels that the emperor is a cooked duck, and he is stubborn.
"I heard that Prince Ruyang is back. This thief might have bad intentions. We have to be careful." Jiang Sheng changed the subject.
The emperor said: "I know you want to stay in the capital, but you can only dream about it. I will not grant your wish."
Jiang Sheng shook his head: "I'm afraid you won't give up."
Thinking of Prince Ruyang, Jiang Sheng felt a headache...
He has a simple and innocent face, but in fact he is extremely dark, cold-blooded and perverted. Sometimes Jiang Sheng thinks that boy is a monster in human skin.
In his eyes, his cousin the emperor with a very high IQ is just a pitiful and innocent big fool who seems to be trying to hurt his cousin anytime and anywhere.
The noodles were ready. Jiang Sheng thought they were delicious and his body felt warm after eating them. He thought, it would be nice to have someone who cared for his cousin.
After dinner, Jiang Sheng left.
The emperor began to read boring memorials again, and after reading a few, he threw them aside and said he was going out to digest his food.
An Jiu looked at the sky outside.
"Your Majesty, it's dark and cold outside."
The emperor frowned: "But I need to digest my food."
[My father said that we need to digest the food after eating. 】
놛 is not happy.
An Jiu secretly rolled his eyes, you fool, the tyrant will not eat it after eating it...
But the emperor had to follow his lead, so she suggested to him, "Your Majesty, there are many empty rooms in Guanghua Palace. Why not vacate a room? It's the same as exercising in the room."
The emperor looked at An Jiu and suddenly said, "Come with me."
The back of Guanghua Hall was very deep. The emperor took her to the innermost room and motioned for her to open the door.
An Jiu was stunned after he opened the door.
It was a large room filled with all kinds of weapons, targets for archery training, and even ropes for climbing...
"Your Majesty, this..."
The emperor took a look and said casually, "My father did it. I practiced here when I was a child."
An Jiu: "..."
She had always wondered why the emperor's martial arts were so high, and now she understood.
The late emperor was not only a stupid handsome guy, but also a simple-minded but handsome stupid guy with particularly developed limbs. An Jiu eavesdropped on the emperor's thoughts and learned that the head of the secret guards was the late emperor's master. Later, when the master died, he became the head of the secret guards himself.
The late emperor believed that to be an emperor one must be proficient in both civil and military affairs, and must be trained in many aspects, so that at least one cannot die at the hands of an assassin.
Therefore, when Emperor 놇 was eight years old, in addition to his daily cultural homework, 놛 was brought here by the late emperor for training.
The emperor lived up to expectations and learned things quickly. After years of practice, he was even able to defeat the secret guards.
So...
The reason why Lin San is Lin San is because he has never defeated the emperor, and the emperor is the one ranked first...
So who ranks second?
After a moment of thought, a name suddenly appeared in An Jiulue's mind.
Jiang Sheng.
Yes.
The secret guards also need a doctor. Maybe Jiang Sheng's martial arts skills are not that high, but from the fact that he can command the emperor's secret guards, his status must be higher than Lin San's. Moreover, people in the palace say that his medical skills are not high, and it is not accurate. Maybe Jiang Sheng is just better at external injuries...
But few people in the palace would suffer external injuries.
The emperor was injured last time, and he recovered very quickly after returning to the palace...
An Jiu was completely convinced.
As expected, those who are better than you work harder than you.
He also felt emotional, as the late emperor had truly shattered Anjiu's perception of the emperor.
Although he is not smart, he really loves his son.
She personally carved so many little things for the emperor to play with, and also taught him martial arts personally...
The emperor must be very sad about the departure of 놛...
