There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 10

The news that His Royal Highness was going to have dinner in the main courtyard quickly spread throughout the backyard.

The servants of the main courtyard finally waited for this day.

One by one finally elated.

Everyone is busy and bustling, just like the New Year.

But at this time, the other courtyards are another scene.

Nongcuiju.

Dow and Du sat in front of Concubine Meng's sickbed, worried.

"It's an anecdote that that rough woman can be favored again!" Tao Shi said with a sarcasm on his face.

"It's just for the sake of the rules. If you really want to say favor, who can compare to our side concubine!" Du's face was full of flattery.

Concubine Meng, who was on the sick bed, had a wry smile on her face.

"Second sisters, stop talking!"

"This time, my concubine was careless!"

I wanted to take advantage of the night of the full fifteenth month to snatch the prince over and give the princess a good kick.

Unexpectedly, that bastard Liu Fangfei would catch him and make things worse.

Now both sides are hurting, no one is trying to please, let alone being taken advantage of by that bitch Tang Waning.

Really careless!

If I had known earlier, she wouldn't lose her temper.

His Royal Highness handed over the power of the backyard to her, which is already partial, why is he not satisfied.

Meng Yuyao regretted it very much.

The two people around him didn't say anything further.

He only advised her to take good care of her health, and then she retired as a courtesy.

Furongju.

Concubine Liu has been losing her temper since she got the news.

"Bitch, all sluts!"

"In the past, the crown prince obviously loved me the most, and it was me!"

The gap from heaven to hell made her whole body collapse.

Gao Liangyuan stood beside her, persuading her cautiously.

"Your concubine, don't worry!"

"There are only two side concubines in the East Palace, so it's not certain who will win! We are only at a disadvantage temporarily!"

"Temporary? Isn't that enough?"

Concubine Liu glared at her with disbelief.

"If I don't look for a chance to make a comeback, I will be trampled underfoot by that bitch of the Meng family!"

Can't compare with the princess, can't you compare with the Meng family?

She is also a formal concubine, why is she a head shorter than Meng Shi?

Gao Liangyuan quickly comforted her.

"Your Majesty, you really don't have to worry. The so-called power in the hands of Concubine Meng is just to take care of these daily chores!"

"The real power is still in the hands of the Crown Princess!"

"It's full of thankless trifles, and it's also meaningless. The most important thing is that you take good care of your master's favor!"

Concubine Liu thought about it, and it made sense.

"never mind!"

"I'll just listen to you again, if you have a good idea, just show it!"

"If I regain my favor, I will definitely not treat you badly!"

"Yes!"

Gao Liangyuan was surprised.

She has no family background and background, with a glib mouth and a fairly clever mind.

Standing out from the crowd of bed-warming maids, she became Liangyuan who was second only to the side concubine.

No one knows better than her the hardships involved.

She cherishes her current position very much, and she is also very devoted to Concubine Liu who has been promoting her.

"Your Majesty, if you want to regain your favor... now is your chance..."

"I have a plan... to kill two birds with one stone!"

……

main courtyard

Dinner was served.

In view of the last lesson.

This time, the small kitchen did not dare to serve such things as pork ribs.

The Northwest-style dishes are delicious snacks suitable for all ages, such as shredded meat jerky, tender lamb chops that are sizzling and oily, and so on.

The fragrance wafted far away before it was served.

In front of Xia Houjue was the court dishes he was used to.

It doesn't matter how good the taste is, it's just luxurious and rich. It looks... like a work of art, but not like food.

Tang Wanning lost interest after just one glance, picked up a lamb chop and began to chew it deliciously.

Xia Houjue: "..."

For some unknown reason, he felt a sense of loss and resignation.

He could smell the scent from afar, but this woman refused to let him.

Such a big plate, does she want to eat alone?

Food color, sex too.

But as a normal person, who would not be tempted by food?Especially the fresh ones, the ones that are not eaten often, and the ones that smell very special.

Once the index finger is hooked, the rice in his bowl will become even more tasteless.

Xia Houjue endured it for a long time with a dark face, but Tang Wanning didn't let him go. He saw that there were only a few lamb chops left that were sizzling with oil.

He couldn't sit still at all, so he stretched out his chopsticks to grab it.

one, two...

Tang Waning noticed something was wrong.

When I looked up, I saw that there were only the last two lamb chops left.

She quickly picked up the chopsticks, and with lightning speed, put the last two lamb chops into her bowl.

In the exquisite red-glazed pink lotus-patterned silk bowl, crystal clear rice and lamb chops are piled up together, almost overflowing.

Satisfied, Tang Wanning continued to bury her head in eating.

Xia Houjue's face was completely darkened, and the atmosphere was stagnant.

Fortunately, Biluo had sharp eyes, and quickly asked the small kitchen to serve another dish, which was specially placed for His Highness the Prince.

This solved the embarrassment.

……

after dinner

Tang Wanning wiped her mouth and hiccupped.

"Prince... hiccup... Your Highness!"

"The moonlight outside is nice, why don't we go out for a stroll and refresh ourselves?"

Although this bastard is not a good thing.

But it's not good at all, and there is always a good skin.

Seductive is also good, not a waste.

Xia Houjue gave her a cool look, curling his lips in sarcasm.

"You... still know how to appreciate the moon?"

He thought that this kind of rough woman could only eat and drink.

Tang Wanning didn't bother to talk to him, so she just told Biyue to get her mosquito repellent balm.

Then he walked out while wearing a light gauze cloak to prevent mosquitoes.

Xia Houjue's face was sullen.

It's written all over his face.

In my mind, I was clamoring to look down on him, but a pair of legs began to follow him recklessly.

'He wants to see how this vulgar woman looks at the moon! '

……

The main courtyard actually has a name, Chaoluan Hall.

It is the largest and most magnificent pavilion in the backyard of Yuqing Palace.

In front of Chaoluan Hall are two ponds, in the middle a finely carved white jade bridge bends across the ponds.

By the pond, green stone pavilions, weeping willows and lotus leaves on railings stand gracefully.

The later in April and May, the night is very beautiful.

A round of crescent moon floated in the sky, shedding a sparkling light.

The breeze blows, and the lotus leaves are fragrant, and the weeping willows curl up, caressing the water, and the shadows float.

Wearing a gauze cloak, Tang Waning stood under the weeping willows by the pond, closed her eyes and felt the fragrance of lotus, the cool breeze, and the chirping of birds and insects around her.

I sigh in my heart:

This bird cage is actually not bad!Compared with the Guyan Gobi in Northwest City, it has a different scenery.

When it comes, be safe!

Xia Houjue stood behind her with his hands behind his back.

Through the hazy moonlight, you can see her elegant clothes and her tall and straight.

The corners of his lips curled up coolly, and his eyes unknowingly lost a little playfulness and a little more seriousness.

It is rare for two people to stay together without the smell of gunpowder.
