I followed Xiu Chenchen into the palace. The scene in the palace was a thousand times more luxurious than that of the Prince. The buildings here were all exquisitely crafted, with carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions, rockeries, lakes, gardens and rockeries.
There are all kinds of precious treasures.
At this time, the sun had not yet risen, and we arrived outside the gate of Fengqi Palace, the queen's palace. After the eunuch informed us, Xiu Chenchen and I followed the eunuch into the queen's bedroom.
This queen looks to be about thirty years old, with a plump and tall figure, slightly rounded cheeks, and some fine lines at the corners of her eyes. She wears a gold hairpin and a silver gauze, and is followed by five or six palace maids. She is extraordinary and worthy of her majesty.
She is the mother of a country. Such a pomp and circumstance is really not something ordinary people can have. This alone is enough to make me admire her with admiration.
"My son, please give my regards to your mother!" Xiu Chenchen and I knelt down and said.
"No gifts." The queen waved.
After Xiu Chenchen and I stood up, we saw the queen's eyes wandering around the two of us. Xiu Chenchen and I looked at each other, and then we couldn't help but feel a little shy.
The Queen's eyes are so vicious that she actually caught the looks of both me and Xiu Chenchen in her eyes.
As soon as Xiu Chenchen and I sat down, the queen said: "She is indeed the one Chen'er likes. I didn't get a good look at you yesterday, but when I saw you today, you really lived up to the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital."
When I heard the queen praise me, I immediately felt very embarrassed. I quickly lowered my head and muttered in a low voice: "The queen is so complimentary."
"Haha..." The queen suddenly laughed and looked at Xiuchen Chen and said, "Chen'er, you really have good taste!"
Xiuchen Chen also laughed when he heard this: "Father once said that Chen'er is a discerning person, so he fell in love with Rou'er at first sight."
As Xiu Chenchen said this, he took my hand. When I saw this, I wanted to pull it away. Unexpectedly, this guy held my hand tightly, and I didn't dare to use force in front of the Queen.
"It's great that you two are in love, and I hope that you two can start a happy life soon." The queen smiled.
"Yes, I obey your order!" Xiu Chenchen agreed.
"Um."
"Mother, if you still have something to do, please leave first!"
"Go, go!" The queen waved her hand, signaling Xiu Chenchen to leave quickly, and then winked at the palace maid next to her.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty the Crown Prince!"
As soon as I left the palace, I pulled my hand out and glared at Xiu Chenchen: "You guy, you actually took the opportunity to take advantage of me!"
"I took advantage of you? You are my wife, what's wrong with taking advantage of my wife? Can't I touch you?" Xiu Chenchen was not ashamed but proud.
"You...I..." I was angry, I couldn't speak to him.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Aren't you hungry? Let's go, I'll take you to eat!" Xiu Chenchen saw that I was no longer talking, so he changed the subject.
"Oh! You can still care about people, don't you like men?" I couldn't help but said.
When Xiu Chenchen heard this, his face suddenly darkened: "You little girl, how dare you make fun of me, believe it or not, I will beat you up!" After saying that, Xiu Chenchen rushed towards me. Of course, I am nothing.
As a fuel-saving lamp, I saw this and stepped on his feet. He covered his feet in pain. It looked too funny.
"Oh...it hurts..." Xiu Chenchen cried out in pain.
"I know it hurts. Let's see if you dare to take advantage of me in the future!" I said proudly, then got up from the ground and patted the dust on my butt.
"Humph! Let's wait and see!" Xiu Chenchen said with a cold snort.
I was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked away without even looking at him.
"Ahou, do you think this girl deserves to be dealt with?" Xiu Chenchen said angrily.
"Your Highness, we are still in the palace now, let's go out first." Wu Hou pointed to other directions and said.
Xiu Chenchen looked in his direction and found that all the father-in-laws were watching his excitement, so he swept his eyes coldly, and those father-in-laws immediately lowered their heads and no longer dared to raise their heads to peek.
"Ah Hou, I really want to beat her!" Xiu Chenchen said through gritted teeth.
When Wu Hou heard this, he was speechless and had to persuade him: "Your Highness, let's go out. Don't forget that the emperor is still here!"
After hearing Wu Hou's reminder, Xiu Chenchen restrained his temper and then chased me.
Sitting in the sedan chair, neither of us said a word to each other.
I didn't have the time to pay attention to Xiu Chenchen either.
Soon we arrived at the busiest restaurant in the capital.
"This is Phoenix Tower. I heard from my brother that the food here is very delicious. Why don't you try some?" Xiu Chenchen suggested.
Hearing this, I glanced at the plates of fried shredded pork with green peppers on the table and couldn't help but swallow.
Before Xiu Chenchen even touched his chopsticks, I started to wolf down the food. Being married to a royal family, I didn’t even have time to have breakfast. There were so many rules, so I couldn’t eat more when I came to the best restaurant in the capital.
"Lu Wenrou, are you a pig?" Xiu Chenchen couldn't help scolding me when he saw the indecent look on my face.
"It's none of your business, I can eat whatever I like!" I said vaguely with my mouth full.
"You!" Xiu Chenchen was very angry when he heard this, but he had no choice, so he could only pick up a piece of meat and put it into my bowl: "Eat slowly, what should I do if I choke?"
I raised my eyes and looked at him, my eyes full of surprise. Is this still the high and mighty Prince? He would actually take the initiative to bring me food, and he seemed to be very gentle. Could it be that...
"What are you looking at? Eat it quickly!" Xiu Chenchen urged when he saw that I was looking at him without saying anything.
"Thank you!" I replied.
Xiu Chenchen's face turned red when he heard this, and then he immersed himself in eating.
After dinner, we walked side by side on the street. We didn't say a word the whole way. I felt very embarrassed.
While walking, I suddenly found a candied haws seller not far away, and I immediately wanted to buy one.
"Let's go buy some candied haws on a stick!" I said enthusiastically.
"What are you buying candied haws for?" Xiu Chenchen asked strangely.
"Of course I want to eat! I haven't eaten for a long time," I said.
"No!" When Xiu Chenchen heard this, he looked at me with a disgusted expression and said, "This thing is too sour, you can't eat it!"
"But... such big candied haws on a stick are really delicious!" I said coquettishly, shaking his arm.
Xiu Chenchen was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said, "Okay then."
As soon as Xiu Chenchen finished speaking, he took out a piece of silver and threw it to the proprietress.
"Girl, this young master is so considerate!" the landlady said with a smile.
I was stunned when I heard this, and then laughed.
"Go ahead and buy it." Xiu Chenchen handed a bunch of candied haws to me.
