Chapter 634: The Queen's Concerns, a Bowl of Longevity Noodles Satisfies Her
Suddenly mentioning the prince's birthday, the queen's face became a little unnatural, "Yu'er, why do you suddenly bring up this matter?"
Xiao Jinyu said: "Mother, the prince has been back for so many years, but he hasn't celebrated his birthday once. Don't you want to celebrate his birthday?"
The queen's expression was a little unnatural. She really didn't celebrate the prince's birthday in these years. It's not that she didn't want to, but...
Xiao Jinyu asked again: "Mother, why did you send the prince to Nanzhao as a hostage?"
When Xiao Jinyu was a child, he was always curious about why the prince wanted to leave the palace. When he asked his mother, she didn't tell him, and his father didn't tell him either.
The queen explained, "It's a situation that forces us to do nothing."
Xiao Jinyu asked, "Why not send another prince as a hostage?"
The queen sighed and said, "Do you think you can send whoever you want? The emperor of Nanzhao requires that it must be my child. If another prince is sent, it will be a big deal if he is discovered."
Xiao Jinyu was stunned for a long time after hearing this. After a long time, he reacted, "So, it's not necessary to send the prince brother to Nanzhao. I can also be sent there. But my father and mother decided to send the prince brother as a hostage."
The queen said, "You were too young at that time, and you didn't have any scheming at all. Who would be willing to send you there? Although the prince is also young, he is three years older than you and knows more than you. Only he can go."
"But the prince brother is only eight years old. He was bullied in a strange place, and no one protected him." Xiao Jinyu suddenly thought of when he was eight years old. He was protected by his father and mother, and no one dared to bully him, but there were still people behind him.
The queen was stunned when she heard this. She knew it, and there was nothing she could do about it.
"Mother, let's celebrate the prince's birthday this time. Just prepare a birthday gift for me." Xiao Jinyu said that it was best not to forget the birthday gift.
The queen pursed her lips. The prince kept everything to himself. She really didn't know how to communicate with him like this.
"What birthday gift does Yu'er want?"
Xiao Jinyu looked at Concubine Han beside him, reached out and held her hand, and this time looked at the queen, "The birthday gift I want is to make A Yan my main wife."
Concubine Han raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyu. She didn't expect that he was still thinking about this. In fact, the main wife or concubine is not important. What is important is his attitude.
The queen didn't expect her son's birthday gift to be this. Every year, she would ask her son what he wanted for his birthday gift, and she would satisfy him as long as she could do it.
She looked at Concubine Han. Except for her status, there was nothing wrong with the rest.
"My mother promised you, as long as you like it."
Xiao Jinyu was so happy, "Thank you, my mother."
Concubine Han bowed, "Thank you, Queen."
The Queen didn't ask much of her youngest son, as long as he was happy.
Coming out of Qiancheng Hall, the Queen was a little worried.
Qingying saw the Queen's worry, "Queen, if you don't know how to prepare, why not call the Crown Princess to discuss it together."
The Queen's eyes lit up when she heard it, "How could I forget the Crown Princess? Go and call the Crown Princess."
"Yes."
Qingying smiled and went to the East Palace.
Feng Wuyou was studying the prescription. When Qingying came, she saw the Crown Princess reading a book seriously.
Feng Wuyou saw Qingying and asked curiously: "How come Qingying Madam has time to come here?"
Qingying stepped forward to greet: "Crown Princess, the Queen wants the Crown Princess to go over for something."
"Okay. "Feng Wuyou put down the medical book and followed Qingying to Fengyi Palace.
After entering the main hall, Feng Wuyou stepped forward to greet: "Mother, is there anything you want me to do?"
The queen waved at her, "Crown Princess, come and sit down to talk."
"Yes, mother." Feng Wuyou came to the queen and sat down, raised her head, waiting for the queen to speak.
The queen thought for a while and said: "Crown Princess, the prince's birthday is coming soon. I haven't celebrated his birthday for many years, and I don't know what he likes. What do you think is better to prepare?"
Feng Wuyou was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that the queen called her here specifically to celebrate Xiao Jinyan's birthday.
She has been in the palace for so many years, and Queen Ning has never celebrated Xiao Jinyan's birthday.
In the past few years, she has prepared a bowl of longevity noodles and some small gifts for his birthday.
Why did Queen Ning suddenly remember to celebrate Xiao Jinyan's birthday?
"Mother, why didn't you celebrate His Highness' birthday before? "She couldn't help asking.
The queen sighed, "The prince has been a hostage in Nanzhao for so many years. After returning, his personality has changed drastically. I don't know how to get along with him. I always feel that he resents me."
"To be honest, I am also worried that he will even attack his own brother for the position of the prince. When he came back from Nanzhao, his eyes were very strange, cold as if he was looking at a stranger."
Feng Wuyou felt sorry for Xiao Jinyan, who was suspected by his mother like this, even though he was the one who was wronged all these years.
"Mother, His Highness is also your son. How can you doubt even your own son? His Highness has never regarded Prince Yu as an opponent. It is Prince Yu who has no feelings for the position of the prince."
The queen said: "I know that Yu'er has no feelings for the position of the prince. After these years, I have also seen that the prince and Yu'er have a very good relationship. However, the gap between me and the prince is not so easy to resolve, and I owe him. "
Feng Wuyou said: "Mother, His Highness was often bullied by other princes in Nanzhao. He always stayed in a corner alone and didn't speak. When I first saw him, I thought he was dumb. I think His Highness must have been thinking about his family at that time. "
After hearing this, the queen felt as if her heart was stabbed by a needle, and it hurt.
The prince was her and the emperor's second child. The first child was a miscarriage, so when he was born, she and the emperor were very happy.
No one doesn't love their own children.
She still remembers the prince's eyes when he was sent away, so much so that she still dares not look him in the eye.
"Only incompetent parents will let their children be bullied outside."
Feng Wuyou did not continue to say that Xiao Jinyan had been with her during his time in a foreign country.
"Mother, it's His Highness's birthday, please cook him a bowl of longevity noodles."
The queen was a little skeptical, "A bowl of longevity noodles is too casual, don't you need to prepare anything else?"
Feng Wuyou said: "Mother, His Highness has always asked for little, and a bowl of longevity noodles cooked by in person can make him happy for a long time."
The queen was stunned for a long time after hearing this, so much so that after Feng Wuyou left, she was still immersed in that sentence.
When Xiao Jinyu came, Xiao Jinyan was busy.
"Brother Crown Prince, it's almost time for lunch, why are you still busy?" Xiao Jinyu came to the desk.
"I'll go to lunch after I finish these. What's the matter with you?" Xiao Jinyan asked without raising his head.
Xiao Jinyu chuckled twice, "My mother has promised me to let Concubine Han be my principal wife. From now on, I will have only one wife like my brother Crown Prince."
Xiao Jinyan said, "Congratulations, you got what you wanted."
Xiao Jinyu said, "I plan to move out with Ayan. There are too many rules in the palace, and it's more free outside."
Xiao Jinyan looked up at his brother, sighing that time passed so quickly, and his brother had already reached the age of twenty.
"Speaking of which, this year is the age of twenty, so it's good to move out and live. You're already an adult."
Xiao Jinyu stared at the prince for a long time and called out, "Brother Prince."
Xiao Jinyan asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Jinyu said very emotionally, "Because of Brother Prince, I can live without worries for twenty years. If it weren't for Brother Prince, I would have too many responsibilities to bear, and I wouldn't be so carefree."
Xiao Jinyan looked at his brother in confusion, "What's wrong today? Why are you suddenly saying these things?"
Xiao Jinyu continued to be emotional, "I'm very fortunate to have Brother Prince. Brother Prince is my idol, and no one else can replace Brother Prince."
Xiao Jinyan: "·····"
"Brother Prince, you'll be busy later. It's lunch time. Let's go to Hehuan Hall for lunch. Ayan has recovered well. I haven't eaten the meals in Hehuan Hall for a long time. I miss it." Xiao Jinyu said with a smile.
Xiao Jinyan: "·····" After saying so much, it turns out that he wanted to eat for free.
At night, during rest time
Feng Wuyou took the initiative to hug Xiao Jinyan's neck, which made Xiao Jinyan a little flattered.
These days, Xiaojiu didn't let him touch her.
"Xiaojiu, are you happy today?"
"Yes, I am very happy." Feng Wuyou simply sat on him, and looked at the man in front of her with the night pearl on her head.
She suddenly thought of Xiao Jinyan when he was eight years old, who was cute and cold, and she remembered his silent appearance for a long time.
Xiao Jinyan saw that she was just staring at him and smiling without saying anything, so he pinched her little face. "What are you laughing at?"
Feng Wuyou smiled and said: "I think of your childhood, with a cold face, looking at me silently."
Xiao Jinyan also laughed, "I was afraid you were here to tease me too."
Feng Wuyou couldn't help laughing, "I thought you didn't like playing with me."
"So, you secretly came to my bed at night to deliver food, and then pretended to sleepwalk? Pretend not to know the next day?"
"In this way, you won't refuse. "Feng Wuyou said confidently.
Xiao Jinyan hugged her into his arms, "Xiao Jiu, I'm happy too."
Feng Wuyou yawned, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early."
As soon as Feng Wuyou went down, Xiao Jinyan grabbed her into his arms, "You are so happy today, shouldn't you celebrate?"
Feng Wuyou became energetic, "Want to drink and have supper?"
Xiao Jinyan raised his lips, "Eat you."
Feng Wuyou: "······" She should have known Xiao Jinyan's routine
On the birthday, Xiao Jinyan prepared a birthday gift for his brother and planned to give it to him at the birthday banquet in the evening.
Every year, the queen mother would prepare a birthday banquet for her brother, so he knew it without asking.
When it was time to light the lamp, Xiao Jinyan put down his official duties, told Liu Xi to take the birthday gift, and then returned to the Hehuan Hall.
Xiao Jinyan strode in and saw Feng Wuyou on the couch and said, "Xiao Jiu, today is Yu'er's birthday, let's go to the birthday banquet."
"Okay. "Feng Wuyou likes banquets the most, except for Prince Yu's birthday banquet every year.
Because every year when she accompanies Xiao Jinyu to attend, Xiao Jinyan will find an excuse to leave after sitting for less than five minutes.
Now that her husband is gone, she, as a wife, must accompany him.
Not only must she accompany him, but she must also prepare longevity noodles for him. She is also very happy and happy to see him finish eating without leaving any soup.
When the two came to the palace where the birthday was held in previous years, they found that it was so quiet inside that only the whistling wind outside could be heard.
Feng Wuyou looked at the empty palace, confused. Where is the birthday banquet?
She tugged at Xiao Jinyan's sleeve and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, what's going on?"
Xiao Jinyan didn't know either, "Did they change places?"
He ordered: "Liu Xi, go ask."
"Yes." Liu Xi responded and left quickly.
When he came back, he was out of breath and said, "Your Highness, I just inquired and learned that the Queen did not hold a birthday banquet for King Yu this year."
"How could it be? The Queen Mother holds a birthday banquet for King Yu every year. There is no reason not to hold it this year. Could it be that something happened?"
Xiao Jinyan thought for a while, then strode towards Qian Cheng Hall.
Feng Wuyou followed slowly.
When they arrived at Qiancheng Hall, before they even walked in, they heard conversations inside.
"Ayan, today is my birthday, let's make a baby today, right?"
"You eat first."
"Ayan, are you scared?"
"What am I afraid of?"
"You're afraid of having children."
"..."
Xiao Jinyan and Feng Wuyou, who were standing at the door, looked at each other, nodded in agreement, then turned and walked out in unison.
Before leaving, Xiao Jinyan ordered: "Liu Xi, give the birthday gift to King Yu and tell him that I have already arrived."
Liu Xi responded: "I know this."
After Xiao Jinyan and Feng Wuyou walked away, Liu Xi sighed. Prince Yu and Princess inside were just having fun with each other. How could he go in and disturb them?
But if he doesn't go in now, he will probably have a baby after dinner later, and he can't disturb her.
For the first time, Liu Xi thought, why is it so difficult to give a birthday gift?
In the end, Liu Xi had no choice but to bite the bullet and let someone pass it on.
When Xiao Jinyu saw Liu Xi, he asked, "Where are the prince's brother and the prince's concubine?"
Liu Xi smiled and said: "Just after leaving, His Highness ordered his servants to give King Yu a birthday gift."
Xiao Jinyu said with some regret: "Brother Prince, why don't you come in and sit down for a while and have a drink before leaving?"
Liu Xi smiled and said, "..." Your Highness doesn't want to disturb you and the princess. Let's make a baby together
After Liu Xi gave her birthday gift, she immediately rubbed oil on her soles and went for a walk, as she was afraid of disturbing Prince Yu and Princess.
After Xiao Jinyan and Feng Wuyou returned to the East Palace, Xiao Jinyan went to the study.
In the study, the lights are brightly lit.
Xiao Jinyan sat in front of the desk and reviewed the memorial. In his heart, he had been waiting for Xiaojiu to cook longevity noodles for him.
It has been like this for the past few years, and no one mentions it, but in the evening, longevity noodles will be brought out on time.
At this moment, the study door opened from the outside.
When Xiao Jinyan heard the movement, he knew it was Xiaojiu who was bringing longevity noodles. He sat calmly on the chair.
After the door was pushed open, it was closed shortly after.
As the footsteps got closer, the smell of egg noodle soup also wafted over.
Xiao Jinyan didn't eat dinner, he was just waiting for the longevity noodles. Now that he could smell the fragrance, his hunger became more obvious.
Good night spicy!
