194 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” Sour Plum

When Bi Luo returned to Yangxin Hall, she was still holding the basket of golden osmanthus flowers in her hand.The fragrance of the flowers was fragrant, as if it still carried the warm breath when he stood under the tree, and his heartbeat couldn’t help but beat a little faster.

She skillfully picked the petals one by one, removed the frost, and dried them in the sun.Sour plums and rock sugar are slowly simmered over low heat, and the aroma gradually becomes richer. She gently sprinkles in the sweet-scented osmanthus, and the golden petals bloom in the hot soup, like a touch of fragrance blooming quietly in the winter snow.She scooped out a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus and sour plum soup and placed it gently on the table. Then she scooped out another bowl and put it in the food box and put it away properly.The rest is warmed over a slow fire for the empress to taste later.

Immediately, Bi Luo returned to the dormitory with the bowl of sour plum soup.At that time, my wife had just woken up, and she was lazily lying on the lap of the unsmiling emperor who was sitting in front of others, reading the novel novels that the palace people had recently collected for her.When Yan Zhaozhao saw that the visitor was holding the sour plum soup that she had been thinking about for a long time, her somewhat melancholy expression suddenly perked up. She stood up and waved to Bi Luo. When she saw that she was about to salute, he raised his hand to avoid her.

“Hurry up and let me have a taste of this sweet-scented osmanthus plum soup!” After Yan Zhaozhao finished speaking, he was about to take the bowl from Bi Luo’s hand. Xie Ciyan, who was reviewing the memorial, had a look of helplessness on his face. He stopped her hand with a sigh and took the bowl of steaming sour plum soup himself.

Seeing the look on Qing Huai’s face eager to take a bite, he couldn’t help but laugh. He scooped up a spoonful and blew it to cool down before feeding it into her mouth.Seeing a few golden osmanthus petals floating on the soup, he asked as if unintentionally: “This osmanthus… was picked from the tallest tree in the imperial garden?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Zhaozhao, who was nestled in his arms, suddenly stiffened.

Bi Luo didn’t know the reason, but bowed her head and replied respectfully: “Reporting to the emperor, the osmanthus in the imperial garden has long since withered, and this is the golden osmanthus in season.” Seeing the slight difference in the expressions of the emperor and the empress, she thought it was because the origin of the flower was arousing doubts, so she added: “This golden osmanthus was specially picked by the slaves by General Huo Sui, so the queen can eat it with peace of mind.”

Yan Zhaozhao, who was still thinking about how to defend herself to Xie Ciyan, heard Huo Sui’s name, her eyes suddenly filled with excitement, and her mind recalled Huo Sui’s intriguing attitude towards Bi Luo in the military camp that day. She couldn’t help but speak, “Tell me, what is going on between you and Huo Sui.”

This teasing tone fell into her ears, and Biluo’s ears suddenly felt hot. Her eyes were a little more evasive, and she whispered, “Empress!”

Yan Zhaozhao thought she was embarrassed, glanced at the only man, and then poked his waist with her fingertips.”Why don’t you… evade first?”

Bi Luo’s expression suddenly panicked.She is just a palace maid, how dare the empress ask the king of a country to leave the Yangxin Palace because of such a trivial matter?How can the majestic emperor allow the queen to ride on his head like this?I’m afraid that this time, the emperor will also be angry.She was about to apologize, but she saw a hint of resentment in the eyes of the emperor who stood at the height of ninety-five, and his tone was a little aggrieved, “I won’t listen, I won’t go out… okay?”

After hearing this, Yan Zhaozhao pondered seriously for a moment, and finally came up with a compromise, “It’s okay not to go out, but you have to cover your ears tightly.” As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to be afraid that he was not strong enough, so he added sternly, “No eavesdropping!”

Xie Ciyan raised her lips, her eyes full of doting, and she put down the memorial she was reading as she said, raised her hands to cover her ears, and then raised her eyebrows at her, as if she was a child asking for a reward.

She couldn’t help but softened her expression, her twinkling eyes were filled with a lingering smile. She used him as a soft pillow, leaned on him comfortably, and then raised her chin towards Bi Luo who was stunned, “No one else can hear it now, would you like to talk to me?”

Bi Luo couldn’t come back to her senses for a long time, obviously she had never expected that such a noble king of a country would be willing to put down the majesty of the emperor, just to smile for Empress Bo.At that moment, he didn’t look like a noble man, but rather like an infatuated man who only pretended to be his sweetheart.She couldn’t help but feel a trace of envy that she shouldn’t have. It turned out that there really was a man in the world who was willing to sacrifice his dignity and the world just to be happy for one person.

Huo Sui’s figure suddenly flashed in her mind, and the corner of her lips unconsciously curled up with a self-deprecating arc. She probably wasn’t that lucky and couldn’t win his joy.

Yan Zhaozhao is also a person who has experienced love. Seeing her like this, there is nothing you can’t understand.She sighed softly, but did not reveal her thoughts. She only raised her hand and stroked her hair with pity, “You have reached the age to get married long ago. I was the one who delayed you before, but now don’t you want to leave the palace?”

“Whatever your Majesty said, I will serve your Majesty for the rest of my life.” There was a smile on her face, as if it was her wish to die in the palace.

The more forbearing she was, the more distressed Yan Zhaozhao became.”I have him in this palace, so why are you so worried about it?” She glanced sideways at Xie Ciyan, who was always looking down at her, and the smile on her lips couldn’t help but deepen. “In this deep palace, it is not easy to meet the person you fall in love with, and it is even more rare for two people to be happy. I can see clearly that Huo Sui is interested in you, why not give him a chance to express his feelings?”

Yan Zhaozhao raised his hand and tapped her forehead, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, “As for you, whether you are interested in Huo Sui or not, I don’t know for sure.” When the conversation changed, her expression became solemn, and her tone became serious.A few points: “Buddha said that it takes five hundred times of looking back in the past life to exchange for one chance encounter in this life. It is not easy to meet the one you love. If you really can’t let go of him, you might as well try to put down some side thoughts and make this relationship a reality.”

When Bi Luo heard this, her lowered eyelashes could not help but tremble slightly, and her fingertips subconsciously tightened the corners of her clothes.She stared at Yan Zhaozhao blankly, not knowing how to answer for a moment.My heart felt like a gentle ripple of spring water, someone calmly broke my heart, and the softness and wavering hidden deep in my heart that I dared not touch quietly surfaced.

She opened her lips, and then spoke in a low voice after a while: “What I said is true, I am just a slave… I’m afraid I won’t be so lucky.” Even so, there was a gleam of ignited light in her eyes, which was complicated and forbearing.She lowered her eyes, trying to hide the little bit of expectation that quietly arose.

Seeing that the words had been spoken, Yan Zhaozhao stopped talking and glanced at the remaining bites of sweet-scented osmanthus plum soup on the side table. “Since General Huo Sui helped pick these sweet-scented osmanthus, the finished product should be given to him to taste as a token of gratitude.” She took off the palace card from her waist and handed it to Bi Luo, “You will deliver this soup.”

The next moment, she suddenly felt troubled again. She looked up at the sky outside and murmured: “It’s just that at this moment, I don’t know where Huo Suihui is on duty.”

“He should be at the General’s Mansion at this time.”

When Yan Zhaozhao heard the familiar voice, she didn’t think there was anything wrong for a moment. She nodded and smiled brightly at Bi Luo, “Then you can go to the general’s mansion to see Huo Sui off.”

Bi Luo was startled, and glanced at the emperor who was still covering his ears. She saw that he didn’t show any objection, and even had a look of pride on his eyebrows. Then he completely calmed down and took the badge from the empress’ hand.Her cheeks were flushed, she lowered her eyes sheepishly and saluted the emperor and empress, then went to the small kitchen of Yangxin Hall to get the food box, changed her clothes, and then left the palace to the general’s mansion.

Yan Zhaozhao then raised her eyes and asked the man who was covering his ears, “How did you know that Huo Sui was in the general’s residence?”

Xie Ciyan’s expression did not change, and he was still covering his ears. “He just asked me for leave and left the palace to return home.” He glanced at the direction in which the palace maid Bi Luo was leaving, and a hint of understanding suddenly flashed in his eyes, “I think he has made an appointment with someone a long time ago.”

Yan Zhaozhao nodded, and then she realized something was wrong.She turned her head sharply and glared at the man with an innocent face, “Xie Ciyan, why can you still hear me when you cover your ears?” If so, wouldn’t he also say what she just said to Bi Luo…

Xie Ciyan lowered his hand to touch the fried hair on her head, and moved it along with her in an extremely gentle manner. “Don’t worry, Zhaozhao,” he whispered, “I can only hear what you say.” After that, he took her hand and gently pressed it on his heart, “Just because you and I have the same mind, I listen to what you say with my heart instead of my ears.”

She raised her eyes like a cat and snorted, “Fancy words.”

Xie Ciyan kissed the slightly raised corner of her mouth and said, “Zhaozhao has really wronged me. This is obviously the truth.”

She looked up at him, and at that moment, she felt that the whole world had become silent, leaving only the tenderness in his eyes, holding her carefully.

The wind blows outside the window, blowing up the golden cinnamon, and the fragrance is dense, as if this tender moment has been sealed in the years.
