Chapter 952 Qin Yunyan is furious
At the same time, Qin Yunyan stayed in the imperial study until nightfall. Wuxin asked someone to serve dinner. Qin Yunyan served skillfully and had no intention of leaving. Instead, she was very happy that the emperor did not drive her away, thinking that the emperor would let her stay overnight.
Xie Shang spent the entire afternoon concentrating on handling state affairs, and asked someone to deliver the memorials he reviewed to the ministers overnight. They were all related to the disaster in Yuzhou, and he did not dare to slack off for a moment.
When he finished his work, he saw that it was already dark. His mind was not on Qin Yunyan. Looking at the table full of food, his stomach began to growl.
Qin Yunyan smiled and said, "Your Majesty must be hungry! Come and have your meal!"
Xie Shang's eyes flashed with embarrassment, his mind no longer on the dinner table. He said to Wu Xin, "Didn't anyone come to the Imperial Study while I was handling official business?"
Wu Xin paused and said, "Your Majesty, no one has come."
Xie Shang gave Wu Xin a deep look. Did he not tell Jiang Fenghua about Qin Yunyan's stay in the imperial study? Or did she already know and didn't care that he was with another woman?
Qin Yunyan searched around but couldn't find the wine jug. At this time, if she and the emperor drank some more wine, they would both be drunk, which would create a better atmosphere, and then she and the emperor could get along naturally.
Qin Yunyan attentively picked up some food for Xie Shang, "Your Majesty, please enjoy! They all look delicious!"
Xie Shang suddenly became as gentle as jade, "Miss Bai, eat more too. You've worked hard grinding ink for me today."
The emperor personally picked up food for her, and was so gentle. Qin Yunyan felt flattered. She blushed and said, "It is my honor to share the emperor's worries. If possible, I am willing to serve His Majesty for the rest of my life."
Her hand unconsciously reached out to touch Xie Shang's arm. Xie Shang noticed her action and suddenly turned his hand away, "Miss Bai, eat quickly!"
Qin Yunyan didn't know whether he avoided her intentionally or unconsciously, so she said softly, "Yes."
Wuxin felt disgusted watching them together. He didn't dare to put drugs in the emperor's meal. If the emperor traced the matter, no one in the room would be able to escape.
The emperor didn't let her leave. Did he want to keep her tonight to favor her? Would there be one more empress in the palace tomorrow?
At this moment, Xie Zixuan walked in with a palace maid. "Xun'er pays respects to the emperor, father. I wish him a happy birthday, good health, and happiness as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains."
Xie Shang was stunned when he saw Xie Zixuan's dress. Her little face was covered with a white veil, and her big watery eyes seemed to be able to speak. She was wearing a white dress, like a fairy who suddenly descended to the earth. It was this dress that made Xie Shang unable to recover for a long time.
Wu Xin was also dumbfounded when he saw Xie Zixi dressed like this. His eyes suddenly turned red, and the memories in his mind seemed to flood back like a tide. The young master was exactly the same as he was back then.
Seeing her father staring at her in a daze, Xie Zixuan asked again, "Father, what's wrong with you? Is it because my blessing came too late that you've upset me?"
Xie Shang's eyes were filled with tenderness and love, "Why is Xi'er wearing a veil?"
Xie Zixuan's eyes were filled with sadness: "Because Xuan'er has become ugly, I have to wear a veil."
"My daughter is the most beautiful fairy, how could she be ugly?" Xie Shang had never seen his daughter so unsure. He picked her up and placed her on his lap. "You are the eldest princess of the Great Zhou. If anyone dares to say that Xiu'er is ugly, I will chop off his head."
Xie Shang pulled off the veil on her face, and saw Xie Zixuan suddenly grinning and crying with her teeth showing, "Xin'er's teeth fell out, and I don't look good anymore, wuwu..."
When Xie Shang saw his daughter's appearance, memories suddenly emerged in his mind. The same little girl, Xuan'er and Ruan Ruan looked exactly the same when they were young. He remembered.
Xie Shang saw Xie Zixuan wearing this outfit and immediately understood, "It was your mother who asked you to come."
Xie Zixuan stopped crying instantly. She was actually pretending to cry. She said, "I was too embarrassed to go to the emperor's birthday banquet to wish him a happy birthday, so the queen mother asked me to bring him longevity noodles. The queen mother made them herself!"
Xie Zixuan said to the palace maid, "Please bring the longevity noodles from the food box over here!"
Just wait for the palace maid to open the food box and bring out a bowl of fragrant and delicious noodles and put it on the table.
Xie Zixuan got off Xie Shang's lap and pushed the noodles in front of him. "Your Majesty, you're so busy with state affairs that you must have forgotten that your birthday is also Zixuan'er and Youyou's birthday. We've all eaten noodles. Once you've eaten them, the three of us will have celebrated our birthdays together. Eat them while they're hot!"
Xie Shang took a bite and found it fresh, fragrant and delicious. Compared with the imperial meal on the table, this bowl of noodles was simply a delicacy on earth. It might be made by Jiang Fenghua himself, or it might be that he saw her childhood in Xie Zixuan.
After a while, Xie Shang finished the full bowl of noodles and even the soup. His stomach was satisfied and his mood suddenly improved.
At this time, Xie Shang said, "It's my fault, father. I forgot Xuan'er's birthday. I apologize to Xuan'er."
"This is the birthday gift that the emperor gave to Xiu'er, and Xiu'er likes it very much." Xie Zixiu gave his father a kiss, "This is the gift that the emperor gave to Youyou, and Youyou likes it very much too."
Xie Shang has been very busy and he did not give any gifts to the two children. It was Ruan Ruan who prepared the birthday gifts for the children in his name.
Xie Zixuan said, "My Queen Mother said that the Emperor must be hungry after handling official business all day. My Queen Mother was right. It seems that the Emperor is really hungry. Has the Emperor eaten enough? My Queen Mother also said that if the Emperor is not full, I have prepared a lot more."
Xie Zixuan's eyes flashed as she glanced at Qin Yunyan beside her. This was the vixen Hongxiu had mentioned who was trying to seduce her father. She hugged her father's arm and said, "Yuan'er misses you too. Have you finished your official duties? Youyou misses you too. Little Yue'er has grown teeth. Go check them out. They're so cute."
Xie Zixuan had never acted so coquettishly before. She insisted on calling her father to come before her mother and would never let the vixen occupy her father.
Xie Shang couldn't resist his daughter's soft whisper, "Father, the emperor misses them too, so I will accompany Xiun'er back to the palace."
Qin Yunyan hadn't even started eating when she saw the emperor stand up and prepare to leave. She quickly said, "Your Majesty, please finish your meal before you go visit the other princes and princesses!"
The opportunity she had finally obtained was lost because the emperor left, and all her efforts were wasted.
Xie Shang glanced at the dishes on the table and said to Wu Xin, "Have someone send the food to Miss Bai's palace."
After saying that, he took Xie Zixuan's hand and left.
Wu Xin quickly said, "Farewell, Your Majesty."
He stood in front of Qin Yunyan and said, "Please come in, Miss Bai. I will personally escort you back to the palace."
Qin Yunyan was furious. She had been standing in the imperial study all day, serving tea and water, and her legs were stiff from standing, just waiting to be with the emperor in the evening. Now she was back to square one, back in that dilapidated palace.
The eldest princess sent longevity noodles. The emperor's birthday had already passed, so why send longevity noodles? She thought she was deliberately coming to call the emperor away and cause trouble.
