Chapter 27: The First Son-in-law of Jingguo
The ending of the novel is that Tu Shansong finally achieved success with Xin Yi.
But now that the title of Prince Consort is unjust and unjust, the two have just calmed down the war. How can they promote their relationship?
As Lu Xinyi walked back, she racked her brains and thought, but the return trip was too short, and she walked back to the dormitory not long after.
Tu Shansong laid out the food and waited at the table early.
A table full of delicious food made Xin Yi drool. She hurriedly washed her hands and sat down at the table. When she was about to use her chopsticks, she found that Tu Shansong on the side was just sitting there and not moving.
He...can't poison, right?
She was so excited that she almost threw away the chopsticks in her hand. Perhaps seeing her concerns, Song took the first bite, put it in her mouth, nodded and said:
"Yeah , delicious!”
Xin Yi was overjoyed and hurriedly picked up a chopstick. Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he thought again - he won’t poison my chopsticks, right? This fox is very clever.
She put the food back into the bowl, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Feed me, Prince Consort."
Song didn't know why, and was about to take her chopsticks, but heard her say again:
" No, no, just use your chopsticks, I don’t dislike you!”
Tu Shansong was stunned for a moment, then smiled, picked up a chopstick and fed it to her.
After attending school for a day, Xin Yi felt so hungry that her chest pressed against her back, and she didn’t care much. She just wanted to catch and eat. After a meal, Song didn’t take a few bites, but fed her I was full, and all the food on the table was wiped out like wind and clouds.
"Gu——"
Xin Yi was stunned for a moment, touched his stomach, and burped.
“It’s strange, I’m obviously full, but why is my stomach still rumbling!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Song looked embarrassed and stood up to put away the dishes. Realizing that he had been focusing on feeding her for the whole day, Tu Shansong only tasted the first bite of the food!
Lu Xinyi has had a big stomach since she was a child, and after being hungry all day, it was embarrassing!
She laughed twice, ran out the door dejectedly, and called to Xiao Cong at the door:
"Is there anything to eat?"
Xiao Cong was a little puzzled: "The princess is not full. ”
Xin Yi scratched his head: "I accidentally ate all Song's dinner."
Hearing that it was Song, Xiao Cong became careless and said: "Oh, he, he has food, you Just forget it.”
Xin Yi nodded, then turned back with confidence.
After Song packed his things, Xiao Cong specially asked a few palace maids to take him to dinner. Before leaving, he winked at Xin Yi. Xin Yi watched them leave with a smile on his face.
Following the palace maid, I saw a few people walking around and leading Tu Shansong to the back of the dining room. One of the palace maids pointed to the corner of the corner and said:
"Husband-in-law, you You're late and the food isn't hot anymore, so you can just have some After eating, remember to clean up the bowls and chopsticks.”
I saw that there was still about half a bowl of rice grains in the wooden bucket that originally contained the rice, and there were only some cold leftovers on the vegetable plate on the table. Zhi, even so, was stared at by the boys at the same table.
Tu Shansong's body felt a little stiff. He turned around and asked the palace maid:
"Is this... arranged by the princess?"
The palace maid was about to leave, but after hearing this nonsense, she became a little impatient. He turned around and said:
“Otherwise If you don’t want to eat, just find a place to stay. Don’t say we didn’t arrange it for you.”
After that, she turned away angrily, the place was full. The oil stains seemed to stain her gauze skirt if it stayed for just one more second.
This prince-in-law was only in name only for the sake of the princess's reputation. He had no ability and no family background. Even the princess didn't like him very much, so why did she end up in the wrong team. Tu Shansong practiced swordsmanship all morning and cooked food all afternoon. He didn't eat much all day. He turned to look at the food in the bucket and laughed at himself, "Isn't this what I ate before, but now that I have a false reputation, Why can't I eat it?
So he sat down, took a relatively clean empty bowl, filled it with rice, and then took it to the dishes.
Unexpectedly, I only picked up one chopstick, and the remaining dishes were snatched away by the servants like a whirlwind. They quickly stuffed the dishes into their mouths, without even touching the rice, and threw them away. As soon as I put the food in, I threw rice into my mouth. It was so uncomfortable, as if I would starve to death on the street in the next second.
Song was a little surprised, but he didn't say much. In the past, as a servant of the princess, he was the first person to eat, but he didn't expect that the last person to eat was like this.
He ate the rice in the bowl quietly. After several people finished eating, they left. Only a little boy was left standing next to him, watching him eat even though he had finished eating.
When Song put down the bowl and chopsticks, he was startled by the little boy's two big black round eyes. He only heard the little boy lick his lips and said:
"Are you really the consort?"
Song was a little suspicious. But when he saw that the visitor did not mean any harm, he smiled and said: "Maybe."
Little boy: "It must be. They asked us to leave a bowl of rice for the prince-in-law. Just now you moved your chopsticks. Everyone If you dare to continue eating, you must be a prince-in-law.”
Song was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's right."
The little boy hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to say: "Is the prince-in-law a very big official? How did you become one? ?I want it too Become a consort!”
Hearing this, Tu Shansong laughed out loud and touched the boy’s head, “Why do you want to be a consort? A good man can’t do anything. ,Do Being a prince-in-law is not a good ambition."
The boy pushed Song's hand away and said seriously: "Being a prince-in-law can make others wait for him to eat, and he can eat without having to do anything. Is that enough? There are so many people in our village who are starving to death, let alone having such good food!”
Song was stunned for a moment: “How could there be so many people starving to death?”
"Because of the war!" the little boy said, "During the war, all the villagers' food was requisitioned as military rations. In our village, after gnawing the bark and grass roots, there was no grass roots to eat, so we only ate earth pancakes. We ate the soil until we died. Don't count Quite a few. I fled to Jingcheng. I trained horses well and got a job in the government."
The border of Jingguo has been in constant war, otherwise the prince would not be sent to coach. . Tu Shansong frowned slightly. The war caused people to be displaced and hungry, which was understandable.
Song asked: "What about your parents? Do you raise them?"
The little boy smiled: "My mother was sold to someone else to be a mother a long time ago, and my father is also here. I starved to death on the way here. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even be able to have a full meal now.
Stop talking about this and tell me how to be a prince-in-law.”
Speaking of the suffering in a calm tone, Tu Shansong felt a sadness in his heart. He gave a polite wry smile and replied:
"If you want to be a prince-in-law, you must first learn a good skill." Craftsmanship, or becoming a specialty It’s not bad to be a good person. When the princess is attracted to you one day and falls in love with you, you can become a consort!”
What’s the point of being a consort? It’s a craft that makes a living. It’s something everyone should master.
The little boy nodded as if understanding. Suddenly, with a bang, a pair of chopsticks fell from the sky, hit Song's rice bowl, and then jumped straight to the skirts of their clothes, suddenly soiling Song's clothes. Crane cloak.
His brows furrowed slightly. This was the first set of clothes prepared by the Princess Palace for the Prince Consort. He was originally asked to wear it during the banquet, but he thought that today was extraordinary and he should have been with the Princess. We spent a good night together, so I wore this one specially.
A palace servant with a sinister face clattered a basket of rice bowls and dishes in front of Tu Shansong, twitching the flesh on his face, and said condescendingly:
"Okay, Prince Consort, then you can wash the dishes first. Let’s finish this craft work!”
Song patted his clothes, stood up and took another look at the basket. He laughed and said: "I'm afraid this is not what the princess meant, is it?"
The palace man was Liu Zhang's subordinate. He was not satisfied with his master's position being occupied by others, and wanted to teach this boy a lesson for his master. Most people in the house had been taken care of by Liu Zhang, so they turned a blind eye to the unfair treatment Song suffered.
Hearing this, the palace man laughed a few times: "Consort, if you have the ability, just ask the princess to go. In the worst case, we will be sent back to the palace, but you have to ask your wife for such a little thing, indeed It makes us look down upon it!”
Song pursed his lips tightly. When the little boy saw him frozen there, he grabbed the bowl basket and said with a smile:
"Isn't it just washing the dishes! I'll do it for the consort!"
