Cannot attack objects

Chapter 205

The imperial concubine's coming to deliver meals was not a temporary idea. In fact, since she "separated" with Emperor Yongning that day, she resumed the habit of delivering soup to the Xuanshi Hall every day, rain or shine.

It's just that since then, Emperor Yongning has avoided her a little.Nine out of ten times when I went to the Xuanshi Hall, I couldn't find anyone, but the Grand Concubine didn't want to wait silently like before.As a result, there were more noble concubines in the palace looking for people with food boxes, but wherever Emperor Yongning would go, the noble concubine had chased after her, she broke into the imperial study room, and the Xuanzheng hall came today.

To say that the imperial concubine's intrusive behavior is actually quite presumptuous, but it's a pity that Emperor Yongning hid and hid, but he never pursued the blame.

Zhong Shao and Xiao Mo have never paid attention to these things in recent days. After Xiao Mo became pregnant, she was sick at first, and Zhong Shao was so worried that Zhong Shao spent the whole day thinking about how to get her to eat more. Later, the symptoms of nausea eased. But she also started to show her pregnancy, so Zhong Shao's attention was naturally more focused on Xiao Mo and the child.These days, the young couple closed the door to live their own little life, but they never noticed the subtlety between them.

To this day, Emperor Yongning's subtle reaction fell into the eyes of the two...

Zhong Shao and Xiao Mo exchanged glances: "Ah Mo, what's wrong with the two ladies? Why doesn't it seem like there's any progress?"

Xiao Mo also returned Zhong Shao's look: "If there is no progress, what is your mother hiding and why is your mother chasing after?"

For a moment, the two exchanged a look, and then continued to watch the play silently, even though they both saw Emperor Yongning's embarrassment and avoidance, neither of them took the initiative to help her.

Finally, Emperor Yongning couldn't bear it any longer. She covered her lips and coughed lightly, and said, "Why is Ah Yue here? This Xuanzheng Hall is the place for discussion, and there is a courtier in the front hall. You, I'm afraid something is wrong."

The imperial concubine waved her hand to ask the two maids behind her to put the food box on the table beside her. There was a waiter with good eyesight who quickly moved over to the dining table.The noble concubine stepped forward to open the food box, and then let the maids bring out the still warm dishes in the food box one by one, carefully placed them on the dining table, and a table of meals was set up in a short while.

She personally brought out a white porcelain cup from the food box, and the noble concubine said: "I went to Xuanshi Hall to deliver soup to you. When I arrived, I realized that today's court has a lot of business, and it didn't end at noon, so I brought it here directly. Then Thinking that the soup will be delivered anyway, and you also have to eat during the lunch break, so I simply brought this lunch together." After a short pause, he said: "I'm only in this apse, and I won't go there The front hall will not be seen by the courtiers."

While speaking, the noble concubine had already lifted the lid of the porcelain cup, took out a bowl of soup with a spoon, and delivered it to Emperor Yongning in person.This gesture, these words, a proper wife and mother.

Emperor Yongning looked at the soup bowl in front of him, but he didn't pick it up for a long while, and his expression was vaguely different - after that day, the noble concubine still gave soup, and she still knew how to drink it, but every time she drank it The tonic soup that was sent, she was always in a complicated mood.

That night, she was completely stuck in the Linhua Palace because of the noble concubine's hard work in making a bowl of soup!

That memory, neither good nor bad, always has a feeling of confusion.Emperor Yongning didn't like this kind of confused situation, and he didn't like things too out of control, so he avoided the imperial concubine a lot in recent days.It's just that she hid hard, and the noble concubine chased even harder, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before she compromised.

For a moment, Emperor Yongning's thoughts drifted a little far away, but the imperial concubine who was holding the soup bowl on the opposite side raised her eyebrows when she saw that she had not answered for a long time.She is a reckless person, and she knew in her heart that the servants in the Xuanzheng Hall must be Emperor Yongning's confidants, so she didn't say anything, she simply took back the soup bowl, and then took a spoonful of soup and sent it directly to Emperor Yongning's lips .

When his lips touched the warm soup, Emperor Yongning came back to his senses in shock, and subconsciously took a step back to avoid it.

After reacting, there was a burst of embarrassment. Emperor Yongning looked around, and saw the palace people in the palace with lowered eyebrows. He didn't know if he saw the previous scene or if he thought about it.But Zhong Shao had already supported Xiao Mo to turn around at this time, and the two were going to the dining table, but this action proved that they had seen something, otherwise they would not be rude enough to leave their elders to eat by themselves.

Zhong Shao and Xiao Mo did see it, but they also didn't understand, why did they feel that the atmosphere between the two girls was getting weirder?Obviously, they had "broken the boat" and confessed to them before, that is the rhythm that should be together!

The two looked at each other, didn't ask anything, just reminded: "Aniang, the noon break is only a quarter of an hour, so it's not good to delay too long, let's eat first."

After all, this reminder was a relief for Emperor Yongning, she let out a sigh of relief, and said, "That's right, let's eat first."

After speaking, he wanted to go to the dining table, but his feet were raised, and for some reason, they suddenly fell back.She avoided looking at the Concubine Gui's face, but only glanced at the soup bowl in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and took it anyway.

************************************************** **

Two quarters of an hour is really not a long time, Emperor Yongning and Xiao Mo didn't even have time to take two steps or stand to digest food after lunch, when the previous court meeting started again.So the mother and daughter went to the front hall again, leaving another mother and daughter in the back hall.

As soon as the person left, Zhong Shao naturally wouldn't go to wait at the gate of the hall immediately. She thought of Emperor Yongning's weird reaction during the meal before, and she also had some curiosity in her heart. In addition, the matter had already been talked about before. Of course, there is nothing to shy away from.So when Emperor Yongning and Xiao Mo left, she leaned close to her mother and asked in a low voice: "Mother, what are you and Your Majesty..."

The noble concubine's expression was calm, she raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, she didn't say anything specifically, she just said: "She is awkward."

After saying this, she stopped staying in the Xuanzheng Hall. Although the courtiers would not come to the apse unless the emperor summoned them, Emperor Yongning has left now, so it is meaningless for her to wait here.If looking back, the court was over and Emperor Yongning brought a few more ministers to the apse to discuss matters, it would be hard to explain if they bumped into each other.Although she was wanton, she didn't want to cause trouble to Emperor Yongning for nothing.

The imperial concubine left, Zhong Shao stood there and thought for a while, he really felt that Emperor Yongning looked awkward before, even more awkward than when he hid it from her and Ah Mo!But what is the reason for this awkwardness, the imperial concubine didn't say anything, she didn't bother to guess, anyway, judging by her mother-in-law, the mother-in-law can't run away... Maybe, the mother-in-law didn't want to run away either?

With a belly full of gossip, Zhong Shao also came out from the apse of the Xuanzheng Hall. After thinking about it, he still didn't go to the government office, and was still wandering outside the Xuanzheng Hall.

Today's court meeting really lasted too long, Xiao Mo is pregnant, even with the grace of Emperor Yongning, he has been sitting and listening to the government, but it is not good for a pregnant woman to sit for a long time, especially at the court meeting, the whole process of sitting upright!

Zhong Shao was a little worried about his daughter-in-law's health, so he wandered outside the Xuanzheng Hall all day, and occasionally went to the gate of the hall to have a look.The Xuanzheng Hall is very big, Emperor Yongning who is sitting on the dragon chair is far away and can't see clearly at all, Xiao Mo who is sitting on the lower head of her obviously can't get there, Zhong Shao can't see it at all standing outside the gate of the hall She didn't know how she was doing, but she saw that the calves of several veteran officials who were quite close to the palace gate were trembling.

It's not that I'm afraid of being involved in this extensive disaster relief and corruption case, but it's just that I stand for too long, and my strength is exhausted, and I will be unable to stand!

Today is the Great Court Meeting, all officials above the fifth rank are present at the court, many of them are veterans.Normally, one or two hours in the court meeting is enough to stand for a while, and I have been standing on the left and right for decades, and I have been trained early.But today it was too much trouble, Zhong Shao listened outside for a while, in the morning there were old ministers standing up to argue with the people of the third department, but in the afternoon, there were almost no old voices who spoke again.

It is estimated that those old ministers are sweating profusely, their calves are trembling, and they are afraid to speak?Otherwise, the disrespect in front of the palace is no joke!

Zhong Shao sympathized a little, and continued to wait for his wife in peace.After waiting until Shen Shi, there was a lot of snow outside again, and even martial arts practitioners like Zhong Shao felt a little cold, so they stopped going outside and just stood under the eaves in front of the hall to avoid the snow.Looking at the old officials near the gate of the palace, their faces were pale and sweaty, and they reckoned that they would have to take sick leave after returning today.

Finally, the meeting ended, and many veterans walked out tremblingly.Such a big event happened today, according to the usual practice, everyone should get together in twos and threes to talk about it after the court was over, but today no one has the spirit at all, and all the people who came out looked tired.

Zhong Shao pursed his lips, and ran to the back hall again, but as soon as he entered the hall, he saw her mother came again!

Emperor Yongning and Xiao Mo returned to the apse and saw that the imperial concubine was still there, they couldn't help being taken aback, and blurted out: "Ah Yue, why are you still here?!"

The Grand Concubine was not annoyed at all, she stepped forward with a smile and said: "I'm not still here, I'm here again. It's fine to stay in Linhua Palace left and right, I thought you would hold the court meeting so late today, You should also have no time to stay with the minister to discuss matters, so I simply came to pick you up."

Take it back?Where should I go, Xuanshi Hall or... Linhua Hall? !

The three people in the palace who knew the inside story had this thought in their hearts at the same time, and then both Zhong Shao and Xiao Mo couldn't help raising their eyes to look at Emperor Yongning.As for Emperor Yongning...is it still too late for her to send someone to chase Dali Siqing, Yushi Dafu and Xingbu Shangshu back? !

Well, in fact, the Concubine Gui is not that scary, she is just a little awkward, and feels that the two are progressing too fast, and the development is completely out of her control, which makes her a little uneasy.She needs a while to sort out her mood.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Yongning said, "Is Ah Yue so free? Just right, there is no one in the harem now, and no one is in charge of all the affairs in the palace. Seeing that it is almost the end of the year, everything in the palace is still left to you." Let's deal with it."

As soon as these words came out, several people in the palace were stunned. Zhong Shao and Xiao Mo looked at each other, with some "clearness" in their eyes - managing the harem and controlling the power of the palace has always been the power of the queen, so the two People really just had a little awkwardness, did they admit it publicly without seeing Emperor Yongning?

The noble concubine smiled sweetly, and agreed--it's good to be in charge of the palace power, if Emperor Yongning avoids her from now on, she will be able to catch people faster!

The author has something to say:

Zhong Shao: Mother, didn't you leave, why are you here again?

Grand Concubine: Why am I here again, aren't you also here?

Zhong Shao (chest out and head up): I’m here to pick up my daughter-in-law and go home

Concubine Gui (with a sweet smile): I will also come to pick up my daughter-in-law
