Chapter 958 Emperor Uncle Love
Xiao Shuzi retreated to the corridor with a sad face and almost bumped into the person who came.
When he saw clearly that it was Bei Hui wearing an apricot-colored cloak, he bowed hurriedly, "Sister Bei Hui!"
Xiao Shuzi was particularly respectful to the capable maidservant who was in charge of the princess's affairs. She was the recognized daughter of his benefactor, Qi Gong.
Bei Hui adjusted the silver hairpin beside her temples, glanced at the closed door, and lowered her voice with understanding, "The emperor hasn't had his meal yet?"
The little tree shook his head bitterly.
Bei Hui smiled and said, "The princess had expected this to happen." She opened the food box, and a scent of medicine mixed with the sweetness of chicken soup immediately wafted out. "Partridge stewed with Sichuan loquat is the best for reducing internal heat."
When the gilded porcelain cup was presented to the table, Xiao Shuzi said cautiously, "Master, this is the princess's heart, you just..."
Emperor Zhaowu finally sighed and put down the confession in his hand.
When Xiao Shuzi saw that his master did not refuse, he was immediately delighted.
He deftly took out a silver spoon for testing poison from his sleeve and carefully scooped up a spoonful of clear soup under the candlestick.
When the edge of the silver spoon touched the porcelain cup, a clear "ding" sound was made, which was particularly crisp in the quiet room.
He held his breath and raised the spoon to his lips. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he took out a special silver needle and inserted it into the bone.
After confirming that the needle was still bright, he carefully sipped half a spoonful. After his Adam's apple rolled three times, he quietly pinched his pulse and silently counted twenty breaths - this was the poison testing rule handed down from the ancestors of the Shangshenjian.
"Master, everything is fine." Xiao Shuzi breathed a sigh of relief and scooped the soup again with a brand new mutton-fat jade bowl.
As the amber soup poured down from the spout, it drew out fine golden threads, which were the oil spots of the stewed partridge bone marrow under the candlelight. At the bottom of the bowl were two translucent pieces of loquat meat, which trembled slightly with the soup, like a ruyi carved from topaz.
Emperor Zhaowu's eyes were finally attracted by the bowl of warm and misty soup. When his fingertips touched the warm bowl wall, Xiao Shuzi clearly saw the emperor's tense brows relax slightly.
"My royal sister is so thoughtful." He knew how simple Anxia's meals were on weekdays, so this must be a special meal prepared for him.
He scooped a spoonful of clear soup into his mouth, and felt the fragrance and warmth melting between his lips and teeth.
He was self-disciplined, but tonight he made an exception and drank two extra bowls of soup and ate a lot of meat.
"Master, does it taste good?" Xiao Shuzi asked happily.
The food goes into the master's mouth, and he is satisfied. He is worried that the master will become thinner and thinner in such a place, and what will happen if he gets a hidden disease in the future.
"This is the most delicious soup I have ever tasted in my life." Emperor Zhaowu wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, still feeling unsatisfied.
I can’t say why, but I feel like I’ve been drinking soup with this flavor for several lifetimes.
The taste is very familiar.
It was as if he had known the imperial sister for several lifetimes... He stood up and went for a walk outside the yard to digest his food. As he walked, he came to Shi Anxia's yard.
The guard was about to speak to pass on the message, but Emperor Zhaowu raised his hand to stop him. He stopped at the carved door and looked inside through the half-rolled bead curtain.
The gilded coiled-branch lamps in the warm room cast a warm halo of light. Shi Anxia had shed the dignity that came with her palace dress and was now like an ordinary woman, with her hair loosely tied up in a homely bun.
She was holding her daughter, and she was teasing the child with a cloth tiger in her slender fingers. The wide sleeves of her moon-white dress slipped down to her elbows, revealing a mutton-fat jade bracelet on her wrist.
Her brows were as gentle as water, and she kissed her daughter's soft face, "Our Er Er is the most sensible, she knows to leave all the good things for her younger sister to play with."
Er Er was quiet, but she would also act like a spoiled child, and would lean into her mother's arms. Her little body was soft, and it warmed Shi Anxia's heart.
Yi Yi, who was playing on the carpet, refused to accept the situation and waved his hands, "Mom, me! Me! Me!"
"What do you mean?" Shi Anxia glared at her son, "You're the best at stealing things!"
He was a snatcher in the womb and he was still a snatcher after he was born. If there was anything fun, he would grab it and not let go.
Once it falls into his hands, it is his. If anyone takes it away, it will be a disaster. Shi Anxia felt that if he did not teach his son well when he was young, his son would be useless.
He was born a marquis and recently was favored by the emperor. Once she saw with her own eyes that the emperor lifted up his son and let him ride on his neck.
Too spoiled! What if she brags about riding on the emperor's neck?
Do you think children don’t understand anything because they are still young?
No, he understands, he understands everything.
At this moment, Yiyi's eyes were red, and tears were about to fall, "Mother, no, I don't love Yiyi, I only love my sister..."
As he spoke, he wiped his tears with his hands and shrugged his shoulders, looking very sad.
But Shi Anxia knew that this son of a bitch was not sad at all, he was just pretending. And his head kept tilting towards the door... Shi Anxia took the opportunity to glance and found that Emperor Zhaowu had arrived.
Look, this is just playing the victim in front of the emperor uncle.
Shi Anxia quickly stood up, handed her daughter to the wet nurse beside her, and walked forward to greet her.
Emperor Zhaowu smiled and said, "Why are you so polite? Don't bow to me all the time in the future."
Shi Anxia said solemnly, "Etiquette cannot be abolished."
Emperor Zhaowu did not comment, but picked up Yi Yi and said, "What's wrong? Tell your uncle if you have any grievances. Your uncle will take care of it for you!"
Yi Yi climbed onto Emperor Zhaowu's neck and kissed him on the face, not shying away from the topic, "Uncle Emperor, ride your horse!"
Shi Anxia's face almost turned blue with anger, "Get down right now!" Perhaps realizing that the emperor was still present, she softened her voice, "Your Majesty, don't spoil him. If you spoil him, he'll be in trouble when he grows up."
Yi Yi refused to let go, and almost hung on the Emperor's uncle's neck, "No, no, the Emperor's uncle loves me!"
Emperor Zhaowu laughed, and held the child's chubby little butt firmly with his big hand. He even deliberately shook it twice, and then patted it lovingly, "Let's go, uncle will take us to ride on the big horses one by one."
He turned his head and blinked at Shi Anxia, his eyes full of smiles, "As a mother, you are too tense and too worried. The child is still young, how can you spoil him? When I was three years old, I folded a paper boat with the memorials from the retired emperor..."
Shi Anxia's head hurt, "Your Majesty, that's different."
"Nothing is different." Emperor Zhaowu turned and walked out, leaving Yi Yi lying on his shoulder. She leaned her head and stuck out her tongue at her mother. The tip of her pink tongue was still stained with the residue of the candied fruit she had just eaten. "Lululu..."
His fat fingers grasped Emperor Zhaowu's hair and shook it, causing the emperor to pat his little butt twice affectionately.
After Emperor Zhaowu was completely gone, Bei Hui smiled and said, "The Emperor, as an uncle, really dotes on our young master. Madam, don't worry. The young master will know his limits when he grows up."
How could Shi Anxia not be worried? She said leisurely, "Why do I feel that Yi Yi takes after his grandfather?"
So shameless!
Bei Hui’s smile froze: “…”
No way, no way? If I follow Master Shi, wouldn't the sky fall?
