Chapter 401 (2/2)

”Naturally, Xu Hanfei is still in the palace. His current status can be compared with that of many ministers. The emperor often takes him with him and attaches great importance to him,” Feihong said with a smile. ”He was brought into the palace by a lay. The emperor must be very grateful to the lay.”

Liu Yuan raised an imperceptible bitter smile on his lips, ”that's good. I'm afraid the emperor doesn't think much of him.”

Gu fan rolled up his sleeve, put a chopstick in the plate Linglong had just brought out, and chewed it carefully. ”This dish is good. You can make it for me in the palace in the future.”

Linglong patted off her chopsticks with one hand and covered the steaming dishes. ”You can't steal any more. This is for the emperor. If you move your chopsticks again, I'll make a new dish. Besides, I'm not from the imperial dining room. How can I cook for you?”

”It's not up to me where people cook. Your craftsmanship is so good. I not only want you to cook for me, but also want you to come back to Xirong with me. Then you will be my private imperial chef and seal a senior official for you.”

Linglong was startled and hurriedly pushed away. ”That's not good. I'm from the state of Qin. I can only stay in the palace. I can't go anywhere else. If others know, I must say it about me.”

”Who cares if those gossipy women talk about the length of people behind their back? Do they even have to interrupt where they go,” Gu Gai pouted discontentedly. ”You say you are a free man, where can't you go? Besides, if you have made a marriage, you can't go since you haven't made a marriage.”

”I'm one year younger than you. I haven't made any marriage, but someone will always propose marriage in the future. The empress said she would make a matchmaker for me,” Linglong sipped her lips. ”I'm not in a hurry now. I'll talk about it later. It's important to make a banquet for the emperor first.”

”What is the point of kissing? Don't you marry the man you like? Why do you want the queen to show you the marriage,” Gu Gu blinked strangely. ”Don't you have a man you like? If you marry a man you don't like, how painful it will be.”

Linglong looked at her silently for a long time and asked softly, ”Princess Gu came to make peace. Naturally, she likes the emperor very much. Otherwise, how can she marry the emperor?”

Gu Gu was stunned and turned pale for a few minutes. After a long time, he replied: ”I came to make peace for the country. It's just that I have no feelings. As long as it's for Xirong, it doesn't matter if I make this sacrifice.”

”But the future life will be very painful. After all, it's with people you don't like,” a trace of abnormality flashed through Linglong's eyes. ”The princess likes Chu Changqing. Why does Prince Chu clearly love the princess and can send the people he loves here? Aren't the hearts of the princess and Prince Chu sad?”

”Xirong is always the most important,” Gu's eyes suddenly widened, and his tone couldn't help raising a few points. ”How do you know I like Chu Changqing? I thought we both pretended well in front of others.”

”Things like love can't be covered. You and childe Chu can see it in their eyes. I can know it, but I don't know much about others,” Linglong said in a low voice. ”If the princess wants to marry the emperor, don't be seen by others.”

Gu Gu's pupils tightened. ”Aren't you the cousin of the king of Jin, and you can also be attached to the emperor? Now that you know about Chu Changqing and me, don't you intend to tell the emperor?”

”There's nothing to say. I'm in your palace now,” Linglong winked at her. ”Don't worry, I'll never tell others, but you said that I'm afraid I won't be happy with people you don't like. You should also pay attention.”

”I've seen those concubines in my father's imperial palace. They are as lonely as snow. I'll live like this in the future,” Gu's eyes slowly darkened. ”I expected it before I got married. I'll come to an end after going through it year by year in the imperial palace.”

”The mother's fetal image is very stable, and the power of soul taking doesn't seem to exist,” Liu Yuan carefully injected three needles on her wrist, which really hasn't changed. ”As long as you remember to drink tocolysis medicine on time, you will be fine in the future. Maybe you can get along with the emperor more after giving birth to a child.”

Xue ronghua's eyes were red and almost burst into tears. She stroked her bulging lower abdomen with her mother's tenderness at the bottom of her eyes. ”I just want my child to be born well, healthy, and nothing else.”

”Your child will be safe,” Liu Yuan blinked. ”Do you still feel uncomfortable? Tell me at this time, and I'll fill your medicine right away.”

”There's no other place,” Xue ronghua took her hand. ”Don't return to the dream Temple tonight. Stay here. The king has prepared the room, and Xi Yu has prepared the wine and dishes. I haven't seen you for a long time, and no one speaks to me here.”
