Chapter 956 Rong San returns to Beijing
This is the first time that I have eaten alone with the emperor.
What made Xia Zihan nervous was that she and the emperor were the only two people in the entire hall. The two of them ate thirty-six dishes. Each dish was exquisitely prepared and overflowing with fragrance. Just smelling it would make people salivate. His index finger moved, but Xia Zihan couldn't taste the food.
The Queen had just died and the Emperor invited her to have dinner with her, a man and a woman alone. If word got out and people started talking nonsense about her, how would she behave in the future?
The emperor couldn't have known this. He knew it clearly, but he still did it. What did he want?
Contrary to Xia Zihan, the emperor had a good appetite and everything he ate tasted delicious. However, when he saw that she didn't move her chopsticks, he put down his wine glass and said, "What, it doesn't suit your taste?"
"No." Xia Zihan hurriedly shook his head and made an excuse, "I'm not hungry yet."
"It's already noon, why aren't you hungry? Chu Yu, are you nervous to eat with me?" The emperor saw her nervousness, so he smiled and said, "I'm not a savage beast, I can still eat. Why are you so nervous?”
"You can't eat it, but you can kill me with just one sentence."
Xia Zihan couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
The emperor listened to every word with sharp ears.
He said angrily and funny, "Don't worry, I don't want you to die. You are my food warehouse. If you die, if there is a natural disaster or something in Dasheng, who will I ask for food?"
"Then can I excuse myself first?" Xia Zihan looked at the emperor expectantly with bright eyes. The emperor almost nodded in agreement. When the words came to his lips, he quickly changed his words, "Come with me to finish the meal." Let’s eat before leaving.”
"I knew you wouldn't let me go so easily." Xia Zihan glared at him aggrievedly.
"If you know, bring it up." The emperor raised the corner of his mouth, picked up the chopsticks, picked up several chopsticks for her, and piled her small bowl into a mountain, "Eat quickly, I will send someone to take you back to Prince Anjun's Mansion after you finish. There is no need to go to the mourning hall to kneel in the afternoon.”
"Then I would like to thank the Emperor for your grace." Xia Zihan twitched the corners of his lips and said with a smile.
In order to leave quickly, Xia Zihan put all the dishes the emperor gave her into her mouth and ate them one by one. She even drank the three glasses of wine the emperor poured without missing a drop.
The emperor was very happy and brought her a lot of dishes. He also said, "This table of dishes was originally prepared for Prince An and the Second Prince and several other senior ministers. However, they had other things to do, so I sent them away."
In fact, when he saw that Chu Yu dared to be lazy in the queen's mourning hall, he wanted to teach Chu Yu a lesson, so he deliberately sent Chu Xuanyu and others away.
However, after seeing Chu Yu, he was reluctant to scold her.
The relationship between him and the queen had long since ceased. The reason why he did not depose the queen was because he did not want to leave a bad reputation in the history books.
Now that the queen has passed away, it just suits his wishes. He will not reprimand Chu Yu for a dead queen.
Chu Yu is A Qi's daughter-in-law, that is, his sister-in-law. Not only can he not reprimand her, but he also has to take good care of her when A Qi is not in Beijing.
Thinking of this, the emperor spoke again, "The queen's mourning hall will be in mourning for ninety-nine and eighty-one days. If you can't bear it, just show up. I will send someone to summon you. When the time comes, just rest or go back to An." The prince's palace is completed."
"No, Your Majesty, I can handle it."
Just kidding, if she really lets the emperor do this, then there will be nothing wrong between her and the emperor, and some gossip will be spread.
That gossip was harmless to the emperor, but to her, it was like a knife or a glass of poisonous wine that could kill someone.
Although the emperor's proposal was rejected by Xia Zihan on the spot, who was the emperor? His decisions were never allowed to be rejected.
He continued to go his own way, sending someone to summon Xia Zihan to come and have dinner with him every day. However, perhaps because he saw that Xia Zihan didn't like to be alone with him, every time he sent someone there, he would add Qinghui. Princess. With the addition of Princess Qinghui, no one dared to gossip about him and Chu Yu.
Soon, ninety-nine and eighty-one days passed. The queen's coffin was carried to the imperial mausoleum, the mourning hall was demolished, and Xia Zihan no longer had to enter the palace to have dinner with the emperor.
Xia Zihan breathed a deep sigh of relief, feeling that the big stone on his chest had finally been moved away.
After entering March, Rong San returned to the capital with the imperial doctors.
In addition to the imperial doctor, he also brought back a woman. The same day she was brought back to Prince Rong's Mansion, Princess Rong ran back to her parents' home sadly.
Princess Rong didn't like that the woman had a vixen-like face, so she was determined not to let the Jiangnan woman step into Prince Rong's house. Rong San became anxious and wanted to take the woman to live outside. The angry Princess Rong spouted an old Blood.
In the end, it ended with Princess Rong being knocked unconscious.
Seeing Princess Rong's resistance to Eva, Rong San did not dare to force Eva to live in Prince Rong's Mansion, so he temporarily arranged for Eva to stay in the inn closest to Prince Rong's Mansion.
However, Eva was not happy.
She said, "I am a girl, and I have given my innocent body to you, but you don't even have the courage to take me to live in Prince Rong's Mansion. Rong San, you... you also let me down."
As he spoke, big tears fell down, and he cried like a pear blossom with rain in his eyes, feeling aggrieved.
Rong San felt distressed, and his heart ached.
He hugged Eva hurriedly and said, "Don't cry yet. When I go back, I will give you some advice. The concubine will agree to let you come. When the time comes, I will give you a wedding."

"The people of Dasheng have to mourn the queen for two years. How do you hold a wedding?" Eva was so happy by him that she burst into tears and laughed.
Rong San chuckled and said, "Then after these two years, I will organize another wedding for you."
Eva snorted, looking unbelieving.
In the end, Eva stayed at the inn, while Rong San hurried back to Prince Rong's Mansion. As soon as Princess Rong woke up, when she saw Rong San, she snorted coldly and turned her head away from him.
Rong San apologized and said with a smile, "Concubine, I know I was wrong. Without saying hello to you, I beheaded first and then took back Yi'er. However, after everyone was brought back, she became the child's son. The child can't just be Are you going to drive people back like this?”
"Concubine, just do it well and allow her to come in, right?"
Rong San almost knelt down to Princess Rong.
Seeing that her son was bent on interceding for the vixen, Princess Rong's face turned green with anger, and her expression became even more gloomy. She even considered going to the inn to strangle Eva to death.
"You want me to allow her to come in, you're dreaming." Princess Rong turned around angrily, turned her back to Rong San, and ignored him again.
After Rong San left, Princess Rong suddenly fell ill. The illness was so severe that Princess Rong lay in bed and couldn't get up.
