Chapter 829 - breakfast
At the door outside Yunqi Courtyard, Li Xinlan had been waiting there long ago, when she saw Xia Chu and Su Qianan walking over to meet her.
“I just received the news of the young master’s return, and I thought you were going to accompany the marquis in the Hengwu Academy to talk with him for a while, but you came back so soon.”
Xia Chu warmly stepped forward and hugged her: “Then you are still waiting outside.”
Li Xinlan touched his face, and then touched his slender wrist, Xia Chu said before she sighed: “Let’s go into the room to wash up, we have to get up early tomorrow.”
Li Xinlan nodded repeatedly and led the way: “The hot water is ready.”
“Auntie Li has always been so thoughtful.” Xia Chu took two quick steps, took her arm and walked alongside her, turned to Su Qian’an and said, “You should rest early too, and come with me tomorrow.”
Su Qianan answered “yes” and retreated, Xia Chu stopped in front of the plum tree.
Li Xinlan stopped along with him: “I have worked so hard to transplant it, the young master didn’t have time to admire him this year.”
Xia Chu looked at the piece of Merlin, and the corners of the lips of a wry smile had a bit of obscurity.
It has been half a year since he entered the palace to deliver medicine that night, and it was not until today that he returned to the Hou residence for the first time.
“Things are over now. In the future, there will be more leisurely days to cook wine and enjoy flowers.” Xia Chu pulled Li Xinlan and continued to walk towards the room: “Besides, Mu Bai didn’t appreciate it, and I don’t regret it.”
Li Xinlan pushed open the door and let him go in first. After closing the door behind him, she sighed: “Yeah, now that the war has subsided, you can finally stay in the house in peace. This year, you are also the eldest girl.”
Li Xinlan paused when she said this, then took two steps forward, holding her face mask, and said to Xia Chu, who was cleaning her face: “Tonight, I have discussed with Lord Hou, when to restore the identity of a woman, since I have talked to Mo Your Royal Highness is in love with each other, you can’t…”
Xia Chu took the face mask from her hand and interrupted her: “This matter is no longer a secret. When the emperor wakes up, let Dad enter the palace to discuss with him.”
Li Xinlan was stunned for a moment, and thought he would be shy, but he was very magnanimous, but…
Li Xinlan took off his hair bun for him, and said worriedly: “The emperor has been in a coma for a long time…”
Xia Chu looked at the clear moonlight outside, thinking that the emperor had indeed been in a coma for a long time. He and Xiang Chengfang communicated from time to time, and the emperor’s physical signs described in the letter were normal.
It’s just that he hasn’t woken up yet.
Seeing that he was in deep thought, Li Xinlan couldn’t even call him, so she silently backed out. Xia Chu was in a trance for a moment, only to find that Li Xinlan had already backed out when she turned around.
The bedding had already been laid, and Xia Chu was too lazy to think about it. After going to Zhao’s house tomorrow, he still had to enter the palace in person.
Xiao Zimu in the palace didn’t know the news of Xia Chu’s return to Beijing until evening.
At that time, he was still discussing matters with Yin Guangbo in Yongning Hall.
When Xin Ya came to report the news, Yin Guangbo was overjoyed. He couldn’t wait to quit the palace and went to Mingxiang Garden to see Xia Chu in person.
Xiao Zimu stared blankly at Yin Guangbo’s leaving back, and felt a little envious. Even he could show his joy, but he had to suppress his mixed emotions.
Xia Chu came back, and the girl he cared about day and night finally returned to Beijing.
But she came back to Beijing with Xiao Mubai…
Ever since he received the news that Xia Chu had set off from Fengwu and returned to Beijing, he was both happy and anxious at the same time.
Both looking forward to her return, but also afraid of her return.
He was afraid that after Xia Chu returned to Beijing this time, not only her status as the first son of the Hou Fu, but also the fact that she was about to become Princess Mo would change.
Xiao Zimu looked up at the dark blue night sky.
In this world, things that are out of reach always seem to be brighter.
Or maybe it’s too bright, so it’s hard to reach.
But he had had a chance before. That woman was by his side, but now she has become the most dazzling but unattainable star in the distant Tianhe.
As a result, the bright light seemed to burn in his heart, making him toss and turn every day, thinking about it, and it was unbearable.
Deeper still, all sounds are still.
Xia Chu remembered the matter of getting up early. He didn’t sleep deeply that night, and he got up when he heard the sound of birds chirping in the early morning.
Su Qianan had already been in the courtyard asking Raven to teach swordsmanship, Xia Chu motioned them to have some breakfast, he went to Hengwuyuan and was about to go out.
Xia Chu was on his way to Hengwu Courtyard when he happened to bump into Cong Ting who was looking for him.
It turned out that Xiao Mubai had come early in the morning, and had been talking with the Marquis for a while, and it was not until the breakfast that the Marquis ordered Cong Ting to come and look for him.
Hou Ye and Xiao Mubai sat chatting and waiting for him on the couch at the back of the hall.
The maids have already prepared breakfast, and the bowls are filled with steaming porridge, accompanied by seven or eight kinds of delicate side dishes, which are neither luxurious nor rich.
“Is it my own? Last night I was going to be beaten and scolded when I saw him. I saw him smiling and kind.” Xia Chu walked into the hall with a feigned anger.
Although his tone was full of sourness, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise.
“I came to the door early in the morning to apologize, and I coaxed you to see this scene of peace and joy until now.” Xiao Mubai greeted Hou Ye with a salute.
Hou Ye Xin pulled him together, pointed at Xia Chu and said, “This little bunny’s wings are hard, I can’t fix it, you will suffer in the future.”
“Prince Mo’s mansion has already prepared dowry gifts according to the advice of the mother and concubine. Just waiting for the Marquis to restore her daughter’s body for her, and immediately come to the door to propose marriage, so as to solve your worries.”
Xiao Mubai’s words made Hou Ye and Xia Chu cough together.
“Isn’t the emperor still awake, we will discuss this matter later.” Lord Hou handed him a bowl of porridge and tried to gag his mouth.
“Let the Crown Prince order this matter directly. Maybe I’ll be happy, and the royal father will be able to wake up sooner.” Xiao Mubai, holding the porridge in his hand, spoke in a serious manner.
“Hurry up and eat it.” Xia Chu stuffed a golden jade steamed bun into Xiao Mubai’s mouth.
With her head lowered, she silently pawed at the porridge, her cheeks flushed slightly.
Hou Ye followed his words and gave Xiao Mubai some food, for fear that his mouth would be idle.
Xiao Mubai just swallowed the steamed buns in his mouth, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Hou Ye said to him with a full bowl and dishes: “Eat vegetables, eat vegetables.”
Xiao Mubai politely picked up two chopsticks and swallowed just as he opened his mouth, Hou Ye gestured to him: “Drink porridge, drink porridge.”
He took the last bite of the small bowl of porridge, and before he swallowed it all, Lord Hou then said, “Another bowl?”
Xiao Mubai: “…”
He really ate a full breakfast, and when he left the house, Hou Ye asked Xia Chu to talk to Huo Wenshu more to relieve her.
Xia Chu responded meekly, but was very melancholy in his heart.
It’s okay to speak, this relief, he’s really not good at it…
