Chapter 276 (1/2)
When Xue ronghua woke up the next day, it was time for the sun to rise. There was a long fragrance outside the bedroom. She rubbed her bleary eyes. Smell it carefully. It seems that someone has prepared the meal and is waiting for her.
As soon as he got to the main hall, he saw a table of delicious food. Chu Zongge wiped his hands with a silk handkerchief and smiled at her. ”I knew it must be this time for you to get up.”
Xue ronghua sat aside sheepishly. ”So you even made lunch. I got up late.”
”Who made you drink so much wine last night? More than I did,” Chu Zongge looked at her with spoiled eyes. ”Fortunately, I didn't go back to Zhongcui palace. Otherwise, Princess de will blame you for seeing you drunk.”
”Fortunately, you are here.” Xue ronghua breathed a sigh of relief. ”I still feel dizzy after drinking some sober soup last night. If I didn't drink it, I don't know how to get drunk.”
Chu Zongge touched the back of her pale hand and said painfully, ”when I picked you up and went into the bedroom, I thought you were much thinner. Haven't you had a good meal these days?”
”No.” Xue ronghua fumbled for his waist, which seemed to be really tight. ”It may be that I dealt with the affairs of the harem with the German imperial concubine and didn't pay much attention to diet at once. I can make it up slowly in the future.”
Chu Zongge shook her hand and said softly with a smile, ”you also have a part of me. You should also eat more for me.”
Xue ronghua glanced at the maid next to him with the remaining light from the corner of his eye. He was reluctant to make out with him under the eyes of everyone. He quickly took his hand back and picked up chopsticks with crimson cheeks. ”Your skill in the palace kitchen is very good.”
”No matter how I am, I am also the great prince of the state of Qin. Meng Qianzhong also wants to make the scene better,” Chu Zongge filled her with a bowl of black chicken soup. ”I see your face is white and your complexion is not good. I told the imperial chef to cook some black chicken soup for you. Try it to suit your taste.”
A tempting smell came to his nostrils. Xue ronghua took a sip with a low eyebrow. It was not salty but also fragrant. ”It tastes very good. It's better than what I drank in the prime minister's house. It's really the skill of the imperial chef in the imperial palace.”
Chu Zongge smiled softly and said, ”you drink more bowls. You don't have to hurry to Zhongcui palace. The German imperial concubine doesn't need you either.”
”Although Princess de doesn't need me, I still want to go back quickly,” Xue ronghua licked his lips. ”It's said that the big prince and the little prince have come back from Yunhe Pavilion. I have to help Princess de take care of the three children.”
”Is the little prince Meng Yanqi the child of imperial concubine Chen?”
”She was born. I don't know if she looks like Yingmei after a few years,” Xue ronghua smiled. ”But Meng Boyi and Meng joujia are more like Meng Qianzhong.”
Chu Zongge wondered, ”how did Meng Qianzhong let his two princes out? I thought they would study in Yunhe Pavilion for a few years.”
”The German imperial concubine just met her children a few times while Meng Qianchong was thinking about her good concubines,” Xue ronghua sighed gently. ”The German imperial concubine can't have the means to be kind to her children.”
Chu Zongge half narrowed his eyes and raised a funny smile, ”you have a taste of loving mother when you follow the German princess. Do you want to get married and have children early.”
Xue ronghua gave him a white look and said angrily, ”don't talk nonsense. It's still early. You want to survive.”
Chu Zongge pursed her lips, took her hand and said solemnly, ”I really want to marry you as soon as possible and have a house of children. You can be said to hit my heart.”
Xue ronghua angrily drank the soup in the bowl and wiped the soup on his lips. ”I'll stay soon. After all, I'm still a female official around Princess de. I can't stay with you often, so I'll go back first.”
Chu Zongge waved his hand and looked at her. ”Then you should be careful. As soon as you leave, Su Rushuang will be left.”
The bright sunshine spread to his feet. Luo Ninghai moved slowly, but he was nervous. A handsome young man was seriously sitting at the table reading. She stared at his figure for a long time, and a sour feeling filled her heart. She finally saved her child from the prison like attic, and she won't have to separate from her child in the future.
”Game,” Luo Ninghai opened his arms to the boy at the table and his eyes were red, ”come and let the mother imperial concubine hug you.”
When Meng Boyi saw the long lost figure at the door, he forgot what page he saw. He jumped down and ran into her arms like a jubilant rabbit, ”mother Princess...”
Luo Ninghai tightly hugged the child he hadn't seen for many years, and tears burst into his eyes. ”Game, the mother imperial concubine finally saw you. Do you know how long the mother imperial concubine has been waiting for you outside?”
Meng Boyi was buried in the nest of her neck and sobbed in a low voice, ”my son minister also misses my mother's concubine in Yunhe Pavilion. I can always see my mother's concubine and jou Jia's sister in my dream. Every time I see those flowers and plants in the flower bed, I want to pick some flowers for my mother's concubine and sister.”
Luo Ninghai's eyes were wet and kept kissing the child's cheek. ”As long as you can come back safely, the mother imperial concubine, if you want to pick flowers, Zhong Cuigong can pick as many as he wants.”
Meng Boyi rubbed her face and suddenly asked, ”when will the mother imperial concubine go to pick up Yanqi's brother?”
Luo Ninghai sucked his nose, some didn't hear clearly, ”who do you want to pick up?”
”Yanqi's younger brother, the child of Princess Chen,” Meng Boyi widened his round eyes. ”Won't the mother Princess pick up his younger brother? If the younger brother doesn't have the mother Princess, no one will take care of him.”
