Chapter 57 The Emperor's Marriage
"Go and tell the kitchen that I will eat in the West Chamber." Mo Yuche ordered without looking back that there was only a maid in the room except for the sick winter rain. Xia He said and hurriedly retreated.
Eating in the West Chamber? Xiao Luo looked at Mo Yuche suspiciously, "Your Majesty... Do you want to eat in the West Wing? Do you think I'm too wronged in this small place? Xiao Luo is very doubtful whether he can swallow food if he is facing an ice face.
Luo'er's little face flashed reluctantly and failed to avoid Mo Yuche's eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised a beautiful arc. "It's just a meal. I don't think this west wing is small. Isn't it that the little princess is not far away to eat with me?"
Xiaoluo really wants to say that I just don't want to eat at the same table with your ice cubes, but the prince just helped himself. It would be a little inappropriate to drive people away. "The prince is really good at joking. It's a blessing for Luoer to eat with the seventh princes of the Mexican dynasty." After these days of contact with Xiao Luo, he knew that this person loved to listen to good words, that is, to listen to others flatter him.
"It's so good." Mo Yuche went to the table and sat down to drink a cup of hot tea and savored it carefully. "In this case, the king has fulfilled your wish and eaten in this western room."
After listening to Mo Yuche's words, Xiao Luo despised him. How could this sound like he begging him to stay for a meal? It also fulfilled my wish. Obviously, you are shameless to eat in the west wing, aren't you? After a fierce discussion, Xiao Luo went to the table and sat down. "Didn't Luoer thank the prince for his success?" There was more ridicule and contempt in those words.
The corners of his mouth hidden behind the cup are slightly raised, and this little guy really can't stand any loss.
It wasn't long before there was footsteps outside the house, but Xia He led a group of maids into the courtyard with food plates. Xiao Luo stretched out his neck and counted about a dozen maids, each with two dishes on a plate.
Xia He is the maid beside Xiaoluo. Naturally, she did not need to serve the dishes. She commanded more than a dozen maids to put the dishes on the table in an orderly manner. When the last dish was on the table, the maids saluted and retreated. Xia He naturally stayed in the room to serve Xiaoluo.
Since the maid entered the house, Xiaoluo has been in a state of being dull as a wooden chicken. It was not until the maids retreated that Xiaoluo came to her senses. Seeing that most of the dishes on the table, vegetarian dishes accounted for most of them. Only three or four dishes were meat, and even three soups.
"Your Majesty, do you usually have so many dishes in one meal?" Xiao Luo swallowed his saliva. Although these dishes look colorful, fragrant and delicious, there are too many dishes that he can eat alone.
"Miss, this is not a small one. Previously, I saw more dishes in the kitchen, and only a small half of them have not been delivered." Xia He said in due time.
Xiao Luo took a deep breath. Is the dishes on this table only a small part? Prince... You starved to death in your last life, didn't you?"
Mo Yuche frowned, "Who stipulates that you must finish eating?"
In the era of science and technology, Xiao Luosheng's three meals a day were simple, and the daily meal in Linfu was also very simple. At this time, he was a little unhappy to see that Wangfu's meals were so extravagant and wasteful. Thinking that there were still many people who couldn't even eat a full meal that day, who actually said that these dishes should be finished?
However, I really can't blame Mo Yuche about this. Born in the emperor's family, he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and the food in the palace since childhood is even more luxurious and wasteful. Since leaving the palace and having his own mansion, Mo Yuche has reduced a lot of unnecessary pavement, but this meal is resolutely not allowed to be reduced by Butler Li, saying that the prince should have the prince's style.
"If you can't finish eating, you still let the kitchen cook so many dishes. Do you know it's shameful to waste!" Xiao Luo wanted to shout this sentence with great momentum, but a grunt from his lower abdomen destroyed the atmosphere.
Xia He couldn't help laughing, and Xiao Luo stared at her awkwardly and lowered her head without saying anything.
Mo Yuche pondered and said, "Go and tell the kitchen that you don't have to cook the rest of the dishes." Mo Yuche doesn't eat much, and it's good to taste more than 20 dishes per meal.
"You can also teach..." Seeing that the prince figured it out, Xiao Luo shook his little head and said.
After Liu Shuihan hit the prince and touched his little hand on the grounds that he had been helped by the prince, he couldn't sleep when he returned to his boudoir. He turned over on the bed for a long time until the fish belly turned white in the sky.
Liu Hen, Liu Haoran and the prince talked secretly in the study for a night. When they approached Mao, they went out of the Taishi Mansion and walked towards the palace. Liu Haoran naturally followed the prince back to the palace. In half an hour, it will be early in the morning. Liu Hen was happy and didn't feel sleepy. He called the maid to invite the young lady, and then went out of the study and went to the front hall.
Liu Shuihan just dreamed that he and Brother Che went out to play together. When he was about to kiss, he was destroyed by Lin Xiaoluo, who suddenly appeared. Liu Shuihan was angry and was about to teach Lin Xiaoluo a lesson, but he heard someone whispering to him.
Miss, miss? The master came and said that he invited the young lady to go to the front hall..." Last night was the night of Chunxi. She knew when the young lady would sleep, and Chunxi also knew what would happen if she disturbed her during her rest.
However, the maids outside the house are the big maids around the master, and their status is much higher than their low-class maids, so Chunxi has to call the lady.
Liu Shuihan's raised hand was awakened before he could hit Lin Xiaoluo's small and white face. Liu Shuihan suddenly became angry. "Don't you know that I will fall asleep?"
Chunxi knew that she must have been unable to escape a punishment this time, but the maid was still waiting outside the house and had to say, "Miss, someone came from the master's side and said that he invited the lady to the front hall."
Liu Shuihan wanted to sleep for a while, but when he heard that his father sent someone to ask him to sit up, "What are you still doing? Why don't you dress me quickly!" Liu Shuihan was angry when he saw Chunxi's stunned appearance. If it hadn't been for the past few days, he would not have used such a stupid maid.
Chunxi hurried to the screen and took the lady's clothes and carefully dressed the lady. After packing up, Liu Shuihan didn't forget to stare at Chunxi, and then went out and followed the maid to the front hall.
Before she went to the front hall, a woman came to face about 30 a year, with a crimson brocade robe, and her bun was covered with golden swings and golden hairpins, which looked luxurious and vulgar. This person is Liu Hen's second wife and Liu Haoran's biological mother.
Since her maid became the second lady of the Taishi Mansion, Liu Shuihan's biological mother, the eldest lady, has been staying in the Buddhist hall all year round and rarely walks around the mansion. As a result, the second lady was even more proud. She took all the big and small things in her hands and became the hostess of the Taishi Mansion.
Liu Hen thought that she gave birth to a son for herself, and as long as it wasn't too much, she just turned a blind eye and didn't care.
Liu Shuihan and his brother Liu Haoran have a good relationship, but it doesn't mean that they have a good relationship with Er Niang. On the contrary, Liu Shuihan was extremely disgusted with this second mother, and the second lady also disliked Liu Shuihan when she was young. At this time, the two must have a fight.
"Yo, isn't this Han'er? Are you leaving the house so early? Didn't the second mother talk about you? Water cold, you also have eleven, don't you? How can the eldest girl think about running out all day... Thinking about the time when the second mother was as old as you..." It seemed that she remembered that she was just a lowly little maid in those years, and the second lady stopped talking quickly.
Liu Shuihan looked down on the second lady. He thought that he had some beauty and gave birth to a son for his father, and his status was noble. He would be a little uncomfortable if he hadn't been close to his mother for many years in the house all day long, saying that it would not be her turn to be the master of the family if she wanted to worship Buddha.
"Why didn't Er Niang say anything? Isn't it that Er Niang and Han'er are still ashamed to say it when they are so old?
"You..." The second lady's face changed, and the little girl became more and more powerful. She actually humiliated herself like this in front of her servants and took a deep breath. The second lady regained a smile on her face. "Look at this, although the second lady was born as a maid, the second mother also knew the rules at that time."
Liu Shui smiled coldly, "Does Er Niang mean that Han'er doesn't know the rules? Han'er wanted to ask her second mother. Dad asked Han'er to go to the front hall to discuss something. Why didn't he understand the rules?
The second lady was a little embarrassed when she heard that the master was looking for something to her. Although she called for wind and rain in this imperial palace, it was all given by the master. If the master didn't think about him, she was just a maid. Thinking of this second lady, she quickly stepped out of the way. "Er Niang means that you are also a big girl. You will be looking for someone as soon as the end of the New Year this year. Don't take it to heart..."
Liu Shui walked over with a cold hum, leaving the second lady standing alone with her angry teeth.
When Liu Shuihan entered the front hall, he saw his father sitting there tasting tea. He hurried forward and blessed himself. "Dad, what's the matter with calling Han'er here so early?"
Liu Hen looked at his daughter and thought about how to open his mouth. The Seventh Prince is his enemy, and Liu Hen is afraid that Han'er will suffer when he marries him. After tasting half a cup of tea, Liu Hen also didn't know how to speak.
Liu Shuihan sat opposite his father and looked doubtfully at his father's locked eyebrows with an unexplained trembling in his heart, "Dad?"
"Han'er..." After thinking for a long time, Liu Hen finally made up his mind. What in the world can be more attractive than power? Dad called you over to talk to you about your marriage..."
"Dad!" Liu Shuihan stood up violently and said, "Didn't Dad promise Han'er not to force Han'er to marry the son of Lord Qian!"
Liu Hen was stunned and immediately reacted. Thinking that Han'er thought that she was going to marry her to the son of Lord Qian Cai Cai Cai. Sit down and listen to Dad speak slowly. When haven't you done what Dad promised you?
Liu Shuihan was also panicked for a moment before making such a loud voice. Now after listening to Dad's words, he also knew that he had lost his demeanor. "Daughter is rude, Dad, please tell me."
"The prince came yesterday, does Han'er know?"
Prince? Liu Shuihan was shocked again. Yesterday, the prince touched his little hand for an excuse. Could it be that the prince took a fancy to himself? Han'er knows... Dad is not the prince..."
