Concubine, she is so charming

Chapter 445
"That's to see Concubine Xian's father, there's no need for others, I'll come when I'm done." Ning Chen felt a little tickled by her rubbing, and the corners of his lips twitched.

Ye Yun stretched out her hand and hooked his neck, "Where does the emperor want to take his concubine, just sleep outside, it's cool outside."

"This little recliner of yours probably won't be able to sleep two people." Ning Chen's lazy voice tickles her heart.

Ye Yun half-opened his eyes for a look, then compromised.

"If you are afraid of the heat, ask the servants to spread out a bamboo mat and place two more ice basins."

After speaking, Ning Chen gave instructions to the outside world.

The servants rushed in to make arrangements, all with their heads down, not daring to take a second look.

Not for anything else, just vaguely saw the imperial concubine being hugged by the emperor as if she had no bones.

Ice was placed in the room, and it cooled down quickly. The two of them lay down and took a nap together with a thin blanket around their waists.

When I woke up, it was almost dusk.

Ye Yun woke up first, and at the end pinched Ning Chen's nose to wake him up too.

Ning Chen couldn't even get angry when he woke up with Qingqing who was so hands and feet.

Hearing the commotion, Huiyue asked outside if she wanted to wait on her, and mentioned that the princes had brought things over just now.

Ye Yun was curious and called in.

After the two of them changed their clothes and washed their clothes, they came out of the inner room and saw a lot of things on the table outside.

"Hearing that the emperor is here with the empress, several young highnesses brought over the things to honor the emperor. They are all new things that I saw when I left the palace today." Nan Zhi introduced.

Ning Chen nodded in a good mood.

It is good for children to be filial.

What the eldest prince gave was a jade fan pendant.

The children are still holding monthly silver in their hands now, and they cannot buy top-grade jade, so this fan pendant is superior in its novel style, which is more interesting than the ones in the palace.

What the second prince gave was a folding fan. The landscape painting on it was good, and the poem on it was also unique.

It's an elegant gift.

And looking at the third prince, it came up as an exquisite brocade box, which was very valuable just by looking at it.

When it was opened, it was indeed a valuable thing, a dagger with a gold handle inlaid with precious stones.

Take off the scabbard, you can see the cold light on the blade, it is indeed a good knife without a doubt.

Men naturally love these things, Ning Chen held it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, it can be seen that he likes it.

It took a while to put it down, and asked, "What did the fourth prince buy back?"

Eyue was a little embarrassed, but answered truthfully.

"The Fourth Highness bought the local specialty snacks that the empress wanted to eat. He said he bought a lot, and asked the emperor and the empress to eat together, as well as straw-woven rabbits."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to a small tray at the corner of the table.

Sure enough, there are two big rabbits, three small ones, and a litter of rabbits. They are made of straw, and they are quite cute.

Ning Chen was a little surprised, but he still approached and picked it up to have a look.

I can only say that this kid is really ingenious.

But when I put it down, I saw that there was still a piece of red paper in the tray.

Pick it up and see, it has the words of the fourth prince on it.

The son pays his respects to his father. Today, he went out with his elder brothers. He wanted to be more filial, but he was too shy to have more money than his heart, so he bought more special food to comfort his father. Everything was delicious for his son. , I also invite the father, mother and concubine to share their son's filial piety.

At the end, I wrote a line in small characters at the bottom: Dad, my son practices hard every day, can calligraphy improve?
Seeing this, Ning Chen couldn't help laughing.

"Look at this kid, he is a coquettish and obedient boy, no one can compare to him."

Ye Yun had already opened a bag of preserved fruit and was taking a bite. Hearing what he said, she also came over to have a look.

Then he said, "The emperor is still laughing, this kid is so spoiled, he is so slippery, he should be beaten."

"But Jing'er is also the most honest. I'm an experienced person, so I don't know how much money the princes have in their hands. It's almost enough to buy this table of expensive pastries." Ning Chen said disapprovingly, "Among the children, That is to say, he is the most unrestrained in front of me."

Thinking of this, Ning Chen looked at the belongings of the other three children, they were indeed gifts, although they were exquisite, they were alienated.

His eyes fell on the dagger given by the third prince, and he paused again.

If it wasn't for the fourth prince's note, he would not have thought of this detail.

This dagger was not bought by the princes who saved some monthly money, presumably they took the money from Concubine Yi before going out.

Thinking of this, the joy in my heart faded a little.

Looking at this dagger again, the meaning of filial piety is less, but more like flattery.

Ning Chen didn't want to think about the relationship between himself and his son like this, but as the third prince grew up, although this child was also smart and capable, he always felt that getting along was not like a father and son, but more like a monarch and minister.

"Your majesty, try this soft cheese, it tastes different from the one in the palace."

Ye Yun handed over the small plate in his hand, interrupting Ning Chen's thoughts.

Ning Chen took a bite and nodded, "It's really good. Jing'er probably tasted a lot today. Don't spoil your stomach with this miscellaneous stuff."

Instead, he ordered Yuan Jiu, "Go and send some Xiaoshi pills to the fourth prince, don't tell him to accumulate food. In addition, pick some things and send them to the princes."

"The emperor treated that boy very well, but it seems that the concubine is not good at being a mother. In the future, Jing'er will only get close to the emperor, not the concubine. The concubine wants to eat." Ye Yun said intentionally.

Ning Chen laughed and pinched her nose.

"The children learned from you, they are very strange."

Ye Yun hummed twice, raised her eyebrows irresistibly, and pulled Ning Chen to taste other snacks together.

outside.

The princes were all happy to receive the reward from their father.

Yuan Jiu did things safely, the princes all sent the same thing, a bowl of water was flat, and there was nothing wrong with it.

To say it was biased, the fourth prince got a box of hawthorn pills more than the others.

It's not something expensive either.

However, the third prince's expression darkened when he knew about it.

He has always been meticulous, and thinking of going out today, the fourth prince was eating and buying everywhere along the way, so he guessed that the box of meatballs given by father was worried about his food accumulation, so he specially gave it to him.

The more Ning Chen cared about the fourth prince, the more grievance the third prince felt.

He didn't understand why, the dagger he had spent so much money to buy was not as good as the fourth bag of snacks?

Or, the father has always been eccentric, no matter how hard he tried to please him, it was useless.

It's useless to study hard, and it's useless to show filial piety. The emperor can't see it.

As such thoughts deepened, but the third prince was two years older than the fourth prince, but the third prince seemed very depressed.

It may not be obvious on the surface, but if you look closely at his eyes, you will find that they are full of jealousy, resentment, unwillingness, insidiousness and ambition.

But at this moment, no one realized that this child was already a little crazy.

The day of repairing the Yuzhou Palace passed quickly, and the next day continued on the road.

There is no palace on the way further back, which means that you can't rest until Zasak.

After traveling for six or seven days, I finally arrived at the place the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
