The straight male queen was stolen again

Chapter 21

back to the palace

A plate of almond puff pastry

Ning Yue's mind was buzzing, replaying that loud "chirp" over and over again!

She shook her head, brought a small bronze mirror with a dignified expression, put it in front of Tong Rong, and said solemnly: "Xiao Lang, look in the mirror."

Tong Rong didn't know why, so he looked at the mirror reflexively.

The person in the mirror, his eyes are like peach blossoms in full bloom, his tenderness is full of affection, there is a sweet smile on the corner of his lips, and his complexion is slightly flushed, his face is really like a peach and plum, his smile is like a flower, his eyebrows are expressive, and he is staring affectionately...

stop!

Tong Rong quickly turned his face away!

This, how could this be me! ?

The face is this face, but the expression has never been seen before!

Could it be that during these days, he used this attitude every day to openly flirt with Xiao Shan in public! ?

too!shame!shame!up!

Mr. Tong coughed twice, sternly, and said solemnly: "Next time I do this again, Yue girl, remember to remind me!"

Ning Yue's face was full of indescribable words: "Xiao Lang, as long as you are with His Majesty these days, you have always had this expression..."

"Ahem, is it..."

Tong Rong concealed himself and took a sip of the tea cup, feeling guilty.

……

"Your Majesty!" King Lian saluted tremblingly with a walking stick.

"The emperor's uncle is exempt from the ceremony, and I will give you a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After taking his seat, the old prince handed over a list and said, "This is the woman of the clan age that His Majesty ordered the old officials to look for last time. The old officials have already preliminarily screened for their identity and appearance, and they are all in this list!"

Chaishan took the roster and looked through it carefully.

The princess who wants to marry the king of Yunnan must not be sloppy, and must ensure that she is a well-educated, intelligent and beautiful woman, so as not to have a counterproductive effect on the marriage.

He looked at it carefully twice, and said carefully: "The Princess Duanyi of Uncle Hui's family is not bad."

King Lian said: "The veteran also thinks Princess Duanyi is good. Although this girl is a little thin, her character and appearance are first-class. Huiwang and his wife invited famous teachers for her since childhood, and they are known as talented girls."

Chaishan nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Very good! I will make Princess Duanyi the princess of Duanyi, choose two old nuns from the palace, and teach them with all my heart, so as to prepare for the marriage!"

……

Autumn passed quickly, and when the emperor and empress enjoyed the scenery of the Wanjing Garden all over again, the wind from the north also began to blow bitterly.

It's time to go back to the palace.

The emperor's Luanjia was still on the way, and the palace had already received the news that the emperor was about to return to the palace.

If it was in the period of the first emperor, the concubines who were not lucky enough to be in the Wanjing Garden must have already begun to spend all their time on dressing up.

But at this moment, the imperial palace, apart from Sigong Ling Weiyang, Shangyi and other officials who are busy preparing for the pick-up and other matters, is as usual.

And the only remaining three concubines are reuniting in Concubine Meng Shu's Dieqiong Hall.

"I'm crazy! I'm crazy!"

Hu Nannan happily slapped the table, pushed the cards, and took out the silver basket. His voice almost shattered the beams of the house: "Come, come, all of them! Take money, take money!"

Meng Jiuyue crossed her face and touched the money: "Why do you win every time!?"

Zhou Yunu and the court lady Ting'er who accompanied her to play mahjong both sighed and resigned themselves to paying.

"Hey!" Hu Nannan played mahjong, completely liberating his nature, leaving all the virtuous and virtuous virtues aside, happily touching the silver and stuffing it into the silver pocket.

After they cleared their accounts, they began to rub their hands for the next round.

To talk about playing mahjong, Meng Jiuyue, who had completely lost her ambition after crying for many days, once visited the Imperial Garden.

At that time, Hu Nannan was playing dice with Zhou Yunu when Meng Jiuyue caught him.

The two were afraid that Concubine Meng Shu would punish them with an excuse, but Meng Jiuyue also joined in, and gradually got used to it, playing more vigorously than the two of them.

Gradually, the entertainment method of the three changed from throwing dice to playing horse hanging, and then evolved from playing horse hanging to playing mahjong.

The emperor and the competition for favor were all thrown out of the sky, and he played mahjong in the Dieqiong Palace every day, enjoying himself very much.

Meng Jiuyue is also obsessed with eating and drinking, and cooks delicacies in different ways all day long, so that the faces of the three of them are quite round.

While rubbing, the little palace man hurried in to report.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty's Luan has arrived at Xuande Gate!!"

"Oh! Alright, I know!" Meng Jiuyue replied perfunctorily, but she didn't have any intention to get up and make some preparations.

What does His Majesty's return to the palace have to do with her?

Playing mahjong is more important!

……

The life after returning to the palace is slightly different from that before returning to the palace.

The state of mind has changed, and the view of everything is naturally very different from before.

One day, Tong Rong suddenly thought of something, called Xiaoyuanzi to him, and asked casually, "Concubine Meng Shu, are you still bringing some snacks to Your Majesty now?"

The well-informed Eunuch Yuan immediately understood, showed an inscrutable smile and said: "Madam, not only does Concubine Meng Shu not send snacks to Funing Palace, but she also invites two Jieyu to play cards in Dieqiong Palace all day long." Playing mahjong! Not only that, Concubine Meng Shu has no taboo recently, she has eaten willow branches until she loses her waistline!!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yuanzi raised his fat face, waiting for the empress's next order.

Things like playing mahjong can be big or small, this is a deep palace compound, the empress will definitely take this opportunity to beat them all together...

"Pass down my Yiling, the two Jieyu and Concubine Shu will increase their respective status by [-]%, and their New Year's rewards will be doubled."

Xiaoyuanzi was shocked.

Tong Rong thought for a while, and added: "From now on, shopkeeper Fang will keep a set for each of Xiang Ao Xuan's fashionable fragrance and brow powder, which will be regarded as an extra for the palace."

"Your Majesty, this... is!"

Eunuch Yuan took the order and left, but his heart was full of emotions.

What is Mother Yi Tianxia! ?

What a big picture! ?

What is the bloodless demeanor of the imperial concubine! ?

Or his vision is not broad enough and his rank is not high enough! !

Tong Rong didn't know all kinds of palace fights going on in Xiao Yuanzi's heart, he did this for no other reason, it was purely out of compensatory psychology of robbing someone else's "husband".

Thinking about this matter made him very sad. For the first time in his two lives, he fell in love with a person, and this person even had a three-bedroom concubine!

Regardless of whether Chai Shan will go to the palace of those three people in the future, what has happened will not change in any way.

I have indeed robbed other people's husbands... And, I am no longer going to give them back...

The soul from the 21st century does not allow the possibility of a third party intervening in his marriage.

But it is also very difficult to convince myself so irresponsibly, turning a blind eye to the "pain" of the three concubines who have already entered the door.

If material compensation can be made, he is willing to give them the entire Xiang Ao Xuan.

But that's it.

Apart from material things, Chaishan will not back down at all!No one else is allowed to get involved again!

……

Because of Concubine Meng Shu's delivery of dim sum and side dishes, Tong Rong suddenly realized that he had never made anything for Chaishan himself.

On the contrary, Xiao Shan came to show his hospitality every day, and the piles of gifts from Manjiaofang were all gifts from Cai Shan, and many of the drawings of the decorations were drawn by Cai Shan himself.

Looking back at himself, there are only a handful of things he gave to Chaishan since he was a child.

I...would I be too indifferent to Xiao Shan?

Thinking of this, Tong Rong decided to make a snack for Chaishan himself.

Just do what she said, the empress empress with excellent execution ability put on her loops, and entered the small kitchen with a sense of indebtedness that came from nowhere.

When the imperial cooks saw the empress entering, they all bowed cautiously.

"Which one of you is good at making almond cakes? Come and teach me."

Xiao Shan likes to eat this crispy snack.

An imperial chef who specializes in making dim sum was elected, leading Tong Rong to learn how to make almond cakes step by step.

This snack is really not difficult, but it was the first time in Tong Rong's two lives that he was in the kitchen, so he couldn't help being a little flustered.

Seeing the dim sum entering the oven, one of them didn't pay attention, and touched the hot stove with the index finger of his left hand, and the white green onion finger immediately burned bright red.

The imperial cook who taught was shocked and knelt down to apologize.

"It's okay, get up, I didn't notice myself."

Ning Yue, who was waiting at the side, was startled when she saw this, quickly poured cold water on his red fingers, and said anxiously, "Little Yuanzi!! Go and get the imperial doctor!!"

"Alas! Alas!!"

Xiao Yuanzi immediately turned around and rushed out of the small kitchen.

Tong Rong laughed, and flicked the drops of water on his fingers. He didn't care about this little injury, but squatted down to look at the fire, and waited by the stove for the almond cake to come out of the pan.

At the same time, the news that the empress's finger was injured was quickly sent to Funing Palace.

When Cai Shan heard about this, he had just finished his sleep and came back to sleep. The palace servant was tying a belt for His Majesty, and suddenly his hands were empty. When he looked up again, the sky had already turned into an afterimage, and he quickly grabbed the door. out.

"Quick! Prepare the sedan chair! Go to the Jiaofang Palace!!"

It was the first time that the imperial chariot moved so fast. At his age, Eunuch Tang ran beside him out of breath. When he reached the place, the imperial chariot was already empty before he could stand still.

It's been a long time since Caishan ran so fast, his heart felt like it was burning on a raging fire, he was so anxious that he could change his shape, and rushed into the small kitchen in three steps at a time.

"Brother Rong!!"

Tong Rong was sitting in front of the stove watching the fire, when suddenly he heard a loud roar behind him, he was shocked.

When he came back to his senses, Chaishan had already grabbed his hands and checked them carefully up and down.

"It turned out to be such a big piece of red!! Where's the imperial doctor!?"

Seeing His Majesty's furious look, the imperial chefs were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground.

Ning Yue had never seen Chai Shan so furious, she shrank her neck and said in a low voice, "Xiao Yuanzi has gone to invite her!"

Cai Shan held that white hand, a dazzling crimson was imprinted abruptly on the index finger, which made him feel so distressed that he didn't know what to do.

He lowered his head, held Tong Rong's hand, stared at the hot crimson with a sad face, and blew gently.

The thin, warm breeze blew across the wound, making it tingly and numb, scratching Tong Rong's throat itchy.

Tong Rong looked at Chai Shan's eyes and face full of distress, and slowly stroked his calloused palm with the pad of his thumb comfortingly: "It's just a burn, it doesn't hurt."

The author says:

Meng Jiuyue: I don't want Gongdou, I just want to play mahjong;

Hu Nannan & Zhou Yunu: I don't want Gongdou, I just want to increase my status;

Tong Rong: I don’t want Gongdou, I just want to spend money to settle everything
