Chapter 373 Zhao Qian
"My beloved concubine cooks in person, so I have to taste it." Zhao Xing said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ru Lan happily picked up the soup bowl from the tray held by the palace maid behind her and came to the back of the imperial cabinet.
Picked up the spoon, scooped out a spoonful, put it to his mouth and blew on it before bringing it to Zhao Xing's mouth.
Zhao Xing opened his mouth and drank, tasted it carefully before swallowing it, and praised: "My concubine's craftsmanship is really good."
"As long as your Majesty likes it."
The smile on Ru Lan's face grew wider and she continued to feed her.
“Huh?”
Zhao Xing took a few sips and suddenly grabbed Ru Lan’s hand.
“Your Majesty!”
Ru Lan wanted to retract her hand, but Zhao Xing shouted: "Don't move!"
Zhao Xing took the spoon from Ru Lan's hand, spread her palm, and saw a few spots on the white and delicate palm. A blister.
"Does it hurt?"
Zhao Xing raised his head and looked at Ru Lan.
“It doesn’t hurt!” Ru Lan shook her head, lowered her head and said, “I am so clumsy, I can’t even make soup.”
Zhao Xing reached out and took the soup bowl in her other hand, placed it on the imperial desk, and looked at this hand.
Seeing that there were no blisters on this hand, he put his arms around her waist and exerted a slight force, and Ru Lan sat in his arms.
"Your Majesty, here's more..."
Ru Lan's face turned red, and just when she was about to say something, Zhao Xing reached out and pinched her chin, looked at her and said, "Why did you suddenly think of giving me something?" Shall I make some soup?”
“I just want to see...”
"Don't tell lies!" Zhao Xing interrupted Ru Lan.
Rulan's eyes turned red and she said: "Your Majesty has not been to my concubine for a long time. I was afraid that your majesty would dislike me, and I didn't know what to do to please your majesty, so I thought of making soup."
“Don’t cry, it won’t look good if you cry. "
Zhao Xing reached out to wipe Rulan's tears, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, and said, "Then why haven't you been to Shulan and Yanran recently?"
"Concubine...Concubine..." Rulan's eyes were a little panicked.
Since she returned to the Sheng family last time, she no longer deliberately made excuses to go to Shulan and Yu Yanran's palace at night.
After all, if she goes, the sachet will be difficult to hide.
Madam Wang told her that the sachet not only increased her interest, but also increased her chances of pregnancy.
She didn't want others to tell her, so she could only wait in her palace for Zhao Xing to pass.
But after waiting and waiting, Zhao Xing was not seen. She thought that Zhao Xing had abandoned her.
After listening to Hua’s mother’s advice, she learned how to make soup and sent it to Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing did not wait for Rulan to explain, and whispered in her ear: "I will go to Shulan Palace to rest tonight, please remember the past."
"Yes!" Rulan's face turned red with embarrassment and she responded inaudibly.
"Continue to serve me the soup. I have to finish the soup that my concubine worked so hard to make." Zhao Xing said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ru Lan struggled to get out of Zhao Xing's arms.
"Just feed it like this."
Zhao Xing picked up the soup bowl and handed it to Ru Lan.
"Your Majesty, this is not very convenient." Ru Lan said coyly.
There were many maids and eunuchs serving in the palace, and behind Zhao Xing there were two maids holding palm fans.
Ru Lan's carefree temperament was a bit intolerable.
Zhao Xing looked at Sanshui after hearing this. Sanshui understood and led the maids and eunuchs in the palace to retreat.
“There is no one now.” Zhao Xing said with a smile.
Ru Lan breathed a sigh of relief, then scooped up the soup and fed it to Zhao Xing.
It’s just that Zhao Xing is taller, so even if Ru Lan sits in his arms, she has to raise her hands when feeding, and she doesn’t dare to scoop too much for fear of spilling it on Zhao Xing.
Although Zhao Xing enjoyed it, it was too slow to drink like this, so he leaned into Ru Lan's ear and whispered something.
Ru Lan glanced at Zhao Xing shyly, but she still picked up the bowl and took a sip, stood up on tiptoe and gave him a sweet kiss.
After finishing the bowl of soup, Ru Lan's eyes were already covered with a layer of mist.
Looking at Ru Lan with spring waves in his eyes, Zhao Xing patted her back and said, "I still have things to do, so you go back first. Remember to wait for me at Shulan's side in the evening."
“Yeah.”
Ru Lan got down from Zhao Xing’s arms, her legs went weak and she almost fell down. Fortunately, Zhao Xing helped her.
When Ru Lan was blessed, he ran away as if running away.
Zhao Xing watched Ru Lan leave with a smile, and the smile on his face slowly faded.
The reason why he didn't go to Ru Lan's place was because of the sachet.
Although Dr. Xu said that the sachet was harmless, Zhao Xing still did not dare to go just in case.
"The matters concerning the wizard's teaching must be investigated as soon as possible." Zhao Xing murmured.
…………
Hu Zhongyan frowned when he received the follower’s reply.
"Could it be that Li Jin has been persuaded by the officials?"
Although he and Li Jin have no friendship, there is no reason to be so cold.
"After Privy Envoy Li came out of the palace, did he return to the Privy Council?" Hu Zhongyan asked.
"Back to my lord, after Mr. Li came out of the palace, he went home and didn't even return to the Privy Council." The entourage said.
Hu Zhongyan’s brows furrowed even deeper when he heard this. After being silent for a while, he decided to talk to Li Jin in person.
Arriving at Li's house by car, Hu Zhongyan opened the car curtain and ordered his entourage to hand over the name card.
The attendant took the name card, communicated with the concierge for a few words, and then trotted back.
"Your Majesty, the concierge said that Privy Li is not feeling well and has told her not to see the guests."
Hu Zhongyan frowned slightly. With his status, even if Li Jin was not feeling well, the concierge should have informed him.
The concierge didn't even announce the news, and directly said that he would not see the guests. It was obviously Li Jin's special explanation.
He is now more and more curious about what the officials said after summoning Li Jin.
But Li Jin didn’t see him, so there was nothing he could do.
"Let's go!" Hu Zhongyan lowered the curtains and said.
…………………… .
In the evening, Zhao Xing first visited Zhang Guifen and Minglan, and then came to the palace where Li Yunchu was.
Li Yunchu learned the news and came out to welcome him.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!" Li Yunchu saluted.
“No gift!”
Zhao Xing waved his hand and looked at Li Yunchu.
Compared with before, Li Yunchu's unruliness has dissipated a lot.
The clothes are not like the Western Xia clothes as before, but changed into the clothes of the Song Dynasty.
If it weren’t for her appearance that was different from the Han people, if someone who didn’t know her met her, they would probably mistake her for a Han person.
"Is the child asleep?" Zhao Xing asked.
“I just woke up. I’ve been fed by my concubine and she’s still awake.” Li Yunchu said.
Zhao Xing nodded when he heard this and walked in.
"Bring the prince out."
"Yes!" Zhihua responded and quickly went into the inner room to take the child out.
The little guy was much more lively than his sister. He was held in Zhihua's arms, and his little hands kept moving, as if he wanted to catch something.
Zhao Xing stretched out his hand, and the little guy grabbed Zhao Xing's hand and grinned.
“Give me a hug!” Zhao Xing reached out and took his son from Zhihua’s hand.
Children change very quickly. Zhao Xing hasn't been here for a while. At this time, the little guy is three or four months old. He has the head and head of a tiger and is very cute.
The little guy didn’t recognize life, and he didn’t cry when Zhao Xing held him.
Zhao Xing carried his son to the soft couch and sat down, reaching out to tease him.
Li Yunchu stood aside, watching this scene, with a smile on his lips.
“Let’s call the child Zhao Qian.” Zhao Xing said.
