Chapter 639 The dog emperor has angered the queen again. She is not worthy of Song Tanhua.
"Mom." Susu threw herself into Feng Wuyou's arms, holding the candied haws in her hand eagerly.
Feng Wuyou looked at her daughter's slanderous appearance and reminded, "Be careful, don't get poked in the mouth by the bamboo stick."
"I know it's spicy." Susu opened her mouth and took a bite of the candied haws. It was sweet and a bit sour. She hadn't eaten candied haws in a few days, but now she was very happy to eat it.
Feng Wuyou looked at her daughter's greedy appearance. It's not surprising that Xiao Jinyan said that her daughter was like her. She was like her. There was nothing wrong with being greedy, and happiness was the most important thing.
While Susu was eating the candied haws, she didn't forget to ask: "Mom, when will grandpa and grandpa come back?"
Feng Wuyou also discovered that her father and mother had left for a long time, and she didn't know that they had come back with Mo Ae?
"I don't know. When they come back after handling the matter, they might be able to catch up with your uncle's wedding banquet."
When Susu heard the word banquet, her eyes lit up. She had had banquets several times.
I just ate it once not long ago.
"Isn't there a lot of delicious food?"
Feng Wuyou couldn't help but smile when he heard this. His daughter was as virtuous as him, and she knew how to eat when she heard about a banquet.
"Well, there are lots and lots of delicious food."
Susu said happily: "Mama, please remember to take me there when the time comes."
Feng Wuyou nodded, "Yes, I will definitely take you there."
Susu happily held the candied haws, held Feng Wuyou's hand with one hand, and asked expectantly: "Mom, what kind of meat will you eat tonight?"
Feng Wuyou saw that it was not dark yet, so her daughter was thinking about what meat to eat at night.
"Crystal elbow, braised pork ribs."
Susu arched her eyebrows after hearing this: "It's all a matter of love."
Feng Wuyou smiled, it was also her favorite food.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and the queen was too lazy to go out. She sat on the couch holding the heater and read for a while, feeling a little drowsy.
Qingying opened the curtain and walked in, "Empress, the Crown Princess sent some food from outside the palace."
The queen was dozing off, and she suddenly woke up a little when she heard that she was eating. When winter came, she became even more slanderous.
"Really? Let her in quickly."
"Here." After Qingying walked out, when she came in again, Chunxi followed behind her.
Chunxi stepped forward and saluted, "May the Queen be blessed with peace and happiness."
The queen said: "Get up."
"Thank you, Queen." Chunxi stood up and gave several packages in his hand to Qingying.
Qingying took several packages and placed them on the low table, opened them and placed them in front of the Queen.
As soon as the package was opened, the fragrance wafted out.
The queen took a few glances, and the first thing she saw was the red candied haws. She hadn't eaten them for a long time. She picked up a bunch of candied haws and brought them to her mouth and took a bite. They were sour and sweet, just like the taste in her memory.
She said with a satisfied look on her face: "The Crown Princess is still thinking about me. You go back and tell the Crown Princess that I like her very much."
"My slave obeys your orders, this slave will leave." Chunxi lowered his eyebrows and nodded, then slowly withdrew.
After the queen finished eating a bunch of candied haws, she saw the tea fruit. Just by looking at it, she knew it was the one she often ate at. She picked up a piece of tea fruit, put it in her mouth and took a bite to taste the taste.
"It still tastes the same as before."
Qingying has followed the Queen for so many years, so she naturally understands the Queen's preferences. These are the Queen's favorite foods.
"The Queen likes to eat, and the Crown Princess is also interested."
The Queen sighed a little, "Yes, the Crown Princess is still interested. The Crown Prince has been busy recently, and Yu'er has also moved out of the palace with the Princess, so she doesn't know how to come into the palace to have a look."
Qingying comforted her: "The princess is seriously ill this time and almost died. King Yu was frightened. Now that the princess is fragile, King Yu definitely wants to accompany her at all times."
The queen felt a little better after hearing this, "It's true. If you don't love your daughter-in-law, who will? Both sons know how to love their wives, and they are very dedicated. They probably inherited my genes. , not like an emperor at all.”
Qingying said: "The Queen has always been devoted to the Emperor and supported her wholeheartedly. The Prince and Prince Yu have indeed followed the Queen."
The queen sighed, if the dog emperor could do this, he would have no regrets in this life.
She ate two pieces of tea fruit in a row. The sweetness was just right, which also relieved her depression.
at night
As soon as the queen finished bathing, the emperor came.
The emperor was a little surprised when he saw that the queen had gone to bed, "Ling'er has rested so early?"
The queen said: "It's such a cold day, and there's nothing important to do. Why don't you sit there and get cold if you don't take a rest early?"
After the emperor came in, Qingying took off his fox fur and hung it on the hanger, then took off his clothes.
After taking off her coat, Qingying exited.
The emperor sat down on the edge of the bed, lifted the quilt and sat in, with a soft pillow behind his back, and looked down at the queen.
The queen raised her head and saw the emperor looking at her. She asked, "Isn't the emperor sleeping?"
After the emperor pondered for a moment, he said, "I have something to tell you."
The queen said: "The emperor said, I, my concubine, listen."
The emperor slowly said four words: "I want to abdicate."
The queen thought she heard wrongly, "What did the emperor say?"
The emperor repeated again: "I want to abdicate and let the prince succeed."
The queen was stunned for a moment when she heard this. The abdication was a big deal. The emperor would definitely not joke about abdicating, so it was true.
Throughout the ages, which emperor abdicated when he was in good health?
The queen sat up and found that she was a little cold, so she wrapped herself in quilt again, and then asked: "Why is the emperor thinking of abdicating the throne at such a young age?"
The emperor said quietly: "Being an emperor is too busy."
The queen said: "Isn't this nonsense? Being an emperor must be busy. The emperor has been the emperor for decades, hasn't he realized this yet?"
The emperor stared at the queen without blinking and sighed: "It is precisely because he has been the emperor for decades and is so busy that he has ignored you."
The queen felt a little uncomfortable and said, "The emperor takes care of everything every day. I have never complained."
The emperor nodded, "Well, you only complained a few times when you were the princess. At that time, I didn't have the awareness now, so I ignored you."
The Queen snorted: "How many years has passed since I was still the Crown Princess? Why does the Emperor still mention it? Who doesn't have a bad temper when they are young?"
The emperor smiled and said: "I know that at that time, you really loved to have a bad temper, and you always wanted to go back to your parents' home."
Queen: "..." Still mentioning it! ! !
The emperor sighed again: "Ling'er, time flies so fast, decades have passed like this."
The Queen snorted again: "Well, I don't need to remind you, Your Majesty. I know that I am old and lose my lust."
She remembered that the Dog Emperor said that she had crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, that her skin was not as good as when she was a teenager, that her lip color was not as delicate as when she was a teenager...
The emperor explained: "I don't think so. It's the aging of beauty, and it's also a process. It's precisely because of this process that we have witnessed that we are still together well after so many years."
The queen touched her face and said with some dissatisfaction: "This is called being together well? Is the emperor probably forgetting the time when he hugged me?"
When the emperor saw that the queen was angry, he stretched out his arms to hug her and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Ling'er, don't mention those things again. If I hadn't been born into the emperor's family, I wouldn't be like this."
The Queen said: "Your Majesty, look at Yan'er and Yu'er. They don't look like you at all."
emperor:"……"
"Can things be the same now as before? Is the situation as stable in the past as it is now?"
"What the Emperor says is whatever it is, and I don't dare to speak nonsense." The Queen yawned as she spoke, then lay down on the bed again, planning to sleep.
When the emperor saw the queen lying down to sleep, he asked anxiously: "I haven't finished speaking, and you're already asleep?"
The queen lazily said: "Then the emperor said, I just listen."
Seeing the queen's casual attitude, the emperor instantly lost the desire to say anything. He originally thought he could have a good conversation with the queen tonight.
As a result, I haven’t even said a few words, and that’s it?
The emperor sighed and lay down too. He saw that the queen had closed her eyes and had no desire to speak.
Forget it, let’s talk about it in a few days.
Early the next morning, Feng Wuyou came out of bed reluctantly, dressed and washed under Chunxi's care.
Chunxi said: "Master, it's been cold these past two days, and it's probably going to snow. Please dress warmly, so as not to catch the cold."
Feng Wuyou looked out the window and saw that the tree beside the window was swaying from side to side in the wind. She felt the coldness of the deep winter before she even went out.
"It's about dressing warmly."
After finishing breakfast, Feng Wuyou hugged the heater and glanced next door, "Chunxi, is Song Tanhua here today?"
"My slave, go over and ask." Chunxi trotted through the back door to the next door.
After a while, Chunxi ran back again.
"Master, Song Tanhua asked for leave. She said she felt cold."
"What a coincidence? You didn't go to the appointment yesterday, and you asked for leave today because you caught the cold?" Feng Wuyou's eyes were full of doubts, and she didn't know whether it was really the cold or an excuse.
Chunxi reminded: "Master, go in first, it's windy outside."
Feng Wuyou pressed the heater, waited for Chunxi to open the curtain, and walked in.
Susu was wearing a bright red cotton coat made by the queen herself, with a ring of snow-white fox fur around the collar and cuffs.
Holding the candied haws in hand, I walked towards the next door on my short legs.
She had passed by it countless times on the way to the study, and soon arrived at the study.
Song Tanhua didn't come to teach, so Chu Lingfeng took Taotao to read and practice calligraphy.
Susu lay on the door frame and looked in. When she saw the pots and pots, she let go of the door frame and ran in happily.
"Pot pot, little pot pot."
When Taotao saw her sister, she put down the pen in her hand and walked over, "Susu, why are you here?"
"I came here to play with the potpots."
Susu secretly took out the candied haws on her back and handed one bunch to Taotao.
Taotao held the candied haws and turned to look at Chu Lingfeng, "Prince Chu, why don't you take a day off today?"
Chu Lingfeng stood up and walked over, "Well, it's up to you."
Susu handed another bunch to Chu Lingfeng, "Little pot, eat candied haws."
Chu Lingfeng took the candied haws from her hand and said, "Thank you Susu."
Susu said with a smile: "Let's go out and play."
Taotao nodded, "Okay."
Chu Lingfeng was originally a reading companion, and since Taotao said yes, he naturally couldn't refute.

Tao Min'er had been in the boudoir for most of the day. Wang came over and called the door several times, and finally the door opened.
Wang looked at her daughter with a worried look on her face, "Min'er, what's wrong with you?"
Tao Min'er shook her head, "Mom, I'm fine, I just want to sleep."
"That's good." Ms. Wang breathed a sigh of relief. She almost thought her daughter couldn't think about it anymore.
"Then we went out for lunch and made your favorite braised lion head."
Tao Min'er nodded, "Okay."
When we arrived at the dining table, the family sat at the table and had lunch.
After Tao Min'er took a few bites, she heard Tao's father say: "I asked the matchmaker to tell me that the Chen family, a rice merchant, has a son who is not yet married. Min'er, do you want to go and meet him?"
Tao Miner paused while eating. Things were bound to happen, and there was no way to avoid them.
She looked up at her father, "Dad, just arrange it."
After hearing this, his father nodded happily, "Okay, I'll have someone notify the matchmaker and let the matchmaker arrange it."
"Okay." Tao Miner lowered her head and continued to eat the food in the bowl.
After lunch, his father couldn't wait to ask someone to find the matchmaker.
The matchmaker was 45 years old and had been a matchmaker for decades. She was also very efficient.
The time was scheduled for tomorrow morning, in the private room of Wuzixuan.
In the morning, Dingxiang dressed up her daughter.
Tao Miner stared at herself in the mirror absent-mindedly. In terms of appearance, she was not as good as the Crown Princess, and in terms of family background, she was not as good as Xu Qingqing.
Her family really had nothing except money.
She was 20 years old and had become an old girl.
She was indeed not worthy of Song Tanhua. The reason why Song Tanhua could talk to her was because he was a polite person.
Dingxiang had been with the young lady since she was a child, and it was no secret that she liked Song Tanhua.
"Miss, are you unhappy today?"
"What's so happy or unhappy about it? Although the love in the storybook is good, it is not something that everyone can encounter. The Crown Princess and Qingqing did not have a smooth sailing either. They also experienced the current result."
Dingxiang advised: "Miss, don't be sad. Maybe this Mr. Chen is also a good person?"
Tao Miner said: "Who knows what he is like? Let's go and meet him first."
After everything was ready, Tao Miner took a sedan chair to Wuzixuan.
It was morning at this time, and there were not many people in the teahouse.
Tao Miner walked into Wuzixuan accompanied by Dingxiang, and came to the agreed private room, and saw that the matchmaker was already waiting there.
There was also a man sitting next to the matchmaker. The man was wearing a navy blue brocade robe, with a handsome face. He looked about 23 years old, which was about the same as the matchmaker said.
"Ms. Tao, come, sit down first." The matchmaker greeted warmly.
Tao Miner nodded and walked slowly to the table and sat down.
The matchmaker had already explained the details of the two families and their ages.
"Ms. Tao, this is Mr. Chen."
Tao Min'er greeted politely, "Hello, Mr. Chen."
Ms. Chen also greeted politely, "Hello, Ms. Tao."
The embarrassing scene of the blind date has come.
After a moment of silence, the matchmaker smiled and said, "You two can chat casually. I, the matchmaker, will go out for a walk first."
The matchmaker said and walked out waving her handkerchief.
Only Mr. Chen and Tao Min'er were left in the private room.
After another moment of silence, Mr. Chen said in a gentle voice, "What kind of cakes does Ms. Tao like to eat?"
Tao Min'er was stunned for a moment and casually said the names of two cakes, "Jujube paste cakes, tea cakes."
Ms. Chen nodded, turned his head and ordered, "Prepare some jujube paste cakes and tea cakes."
The attendant guarding the door immediately went to prepare after hearing this.
Good night!
