Seeing Xie Xun coming, the smile on Qin Rushuang's face faded.
"I didn't say anything. Your Majesty, you have worked hard today."
After saying these polite words, Qin Rushuang remained silent.
Xie Xun pursed his lips and said no more.
He discovered that Qin Rushuang had been avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally these past few days.
Strictly speaking, it's not called avoidance, but the attitude has changed to the same respectful attitude as before.
Xie Xun was naturally aware of the change in Qin Rushuang's attitude towards him. He wanted to change the relationship between the two of them, but when faced with Qin Rushuang's polite but cold attitude towards him, he always felt like a fist hitting cotton.
Seeing that Qin Rushuang's attitude was cold and indifferent, Gu Meiren didn't want to appear too enthusiastic, so she bowed to Xie Xun and took the opportunity to say, "It's getting late, so I will leave now and come back to visit the princess another day."
This way, Xie Xun seemed like an out-of-place intruder, disturbing the happy time between the two of them.
After Gu Meiren left, Xie Xun's voice was dry and he whispered: "Did I disturb you?"
Qin Rushuang still looked calm and said, "What's the matter? It's already time for dinner, and the kitchen has already prepared food. Your Majesty, please hurry up."
Recently, the war at the Daqi border has been tense, and the three neighboring countries have been eyeing it.
There are conflicts between the border guard army and the armies of neighboring countries from time to time, so letters from the border guards are always reaching the army in the past few days.
Naturally, Xie Xun's government affairs also became busy, dealing with important military affairs and training soldiers...
In short, once you go to the military camp in the morning, you won't be able to come back until late at night.
It was precisely for this reason that he did not have a good conversation with Qin Rushuang for several days.
Today he deliberately rushed to finish the military affairs, just because he wanted to come back early to accompany Qin Rushuang.
Now when he heard what Qin Rushuang said, he quickly said: "Okay, I will go to have dinner with you. Has the imperial doctor been here in the past few days? How is your appetite?"
Qin Rushuang shook her head: "No, the prince and the concubine will have a good dinner. I'll ask the kitchen to cook some and bring them to the room."
When Xie Xun heard this, he immediately became nervous. He stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable again these days?"
Qin Rushuang rarely saw Xie Xun questioning her like this.
In her memory, Xie Xun's character was always cold and indifferent.
Generally, as long as she refuses, or hints at a hint of refusal, Xie Xun can quickly understand her intentions and will never ask for trouble.
When others heard what she just said, they knew it was her refusal. She just didn't want to have dinner with Xie Xun and Qin Fanghao.
But Xie Xun's words had reached this point, and Qin Rushuang couldn't refuse anymore, so she said, "Then let's go to the dining room with the prince to have a meal."
…
Since Qin Fanghao returned to the palace, Qin Rushuang has been subconsciously avoiding contact with Qin Fanghao except when necessary.
Therefore, this was also the first time after Qin Fanghao returned to the palace that the three of them sat at the same table and ate peacefully.
However, Qin Rushuang hopes to get along with them in harmony, but some people don't appreciate it.
It was okay at the beginning, and no one said anything. When Qin Fanghao reached out his chopsticks to the vinegared cabbage for the third time, the little maid who had been serving Qin Fanghao suddenly whispered in a low voice: "This cabbage is nothing."
Nutrition, the slave will give the concubine something else."
Qin Fanghao shook his head and whispered: "I just want to eat that."
After saying that, he smiled apologetically at Xie Xun and said, "I don't know what's wrong, but I still like to eat sour foods even though the month of happiness has passed."
The little maid who was trying to persuade her suddenly said, "Old people say that a sour girl is a hot girl. Is it possible that the concubine is pregnant with..."
Qin Fanghao's face turned red and he whispered quickly, "Stop talking nonsense. The baby is still in the belly. Who knows whether it is a boy or a girl."
The little maid smiled and said: "There used to be an old woman in our village who was particularly good at reading these things. When I was a child, I often heard her say that those who like to eat sour food and those with a pointed belly are usually boys. When I look at the concubine's pregnancy, I must
It can bring good news to our palace!"
Qin Fang looked at her with an annoyed smile, "I told you to stop talking nonsense, why are you talking more and more enthusiastically?"
Qin Rushuang was happy to watch the master and servant acting on the sidelines.
This little maid looked unfamiliar. She must have been a servant of the former rough messenger. She was transferred to the east courtyard. She may have gained Qin Fanghao's liking.
And this little maid now wanted to coax Qin Fanghao, so she sang and acted with Qin Fanghao at the dinner table.
Qin Rushuang didn't say anything to stop her. Instead, Xie Xun, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly put his chopsticks on the table and said, "You don't say anything when you eat, and you don't say anything when you sleep."
After Xie Xun finished speaking, both master and servant became silent.
Xie Xun seemed to be very unhappy with what they were talking about. He frowned and said to Qin Fanghao: "Take care of the servants in your yard. There are no rules."
In such an occasion, a servant should not speak nonsense. Xie Xun probably took Qin Fang's good face into consideration and did not say anything clearly.
But anyone present could hear the underlying meaning of Xie Xun's words.
Qin Fanghao's face immediately showed an aggrieved look, biting his lower lip and lowering his head without speaking.
When the little girl heard this, she immediately knelt down in front of Xie Xun: "My lord, please forgive me! It's all my fault for talking nonsense! You must not blame our master!"
Of the two masters and servants, one felt aggrieved and kept his head down without speaking, while the other knelt aside and kowtowed to beg for mercy. Xie Xun felt upset.
Why didn't he think Qin Fang had so many good things before?
"This king is full."
Xie Xun put down his bowl and chopsticks, walked a few steps, and suddenly stopped, "I will rest in the study tonight. You can go to bed early. You don't have to wait any longer."
Qin Fanghao had a look of disappointment on his face when he learned that Xie Xun would not come to his yard tonight.
Qin Rushuang had enough of watching the show and put down the bowls and chopsticks after Xie Xun left.
"I'm full, Qingzhi, let's go."
Along the way, Qingzhi kept chanting.
"This Qin Fanghao is getting more and more annoying! They are all pregnant, why is she the only one who has so many problems?"
Qingzhi kept talking all the way from the dining room to the main courtyard.
As soon as Qin Rushuang sat down, Qingzhi said, "Princess, sit down and rest for a while. I'll go to the kitchen and tell the kitchen to make some easy-to-digest snacks and keep them warm. I'll bring them to you when you're hungry."
"Didn't we just finish dinner? You treat me as your princess and I'm a pig."
Qingzhi helped her sit down and said, "Princess, please don't show off in front of the slaves. You won't use much for dinner. The slaves are watching."
Qin Rushuang smiled.
Fortunately, I have this caring little maid by my side, otherwise life in the palace would have been even more difficult.
"Go ahead and make less. I won't be able to eat much."
"Hey, I understand, Princess."
Qingzhi turned around neatly and walked to the kitchen.
Just as he was thinking about what to prepare for his princess tonight, he walked outside the kitchen and saw that the light in the kitchen was still on.
She went in and saw that it was Su Meiren who was sitting at the stove.
"Su Mei people? It's so late, what are you doing here?" Qingzhi asked.
Su Meiren turned around, holding a half-peeled walnut in her hand, "Why is Miss Qingzhi here? I'm just cracking walnuts."
