When the concubine got up in the morning, she heard He Yunxi saying that Jingwu and the others were coming to take her back, so she quickly pulled her out.
"I won't go back." The concubine said directly when she saw the person.
"Taifei, Luohe Mansion and the two neighboring mansions are not safe recently. The emperor is worried about the safety of Taifei..." Jing Wu said.
"It's quite safe if I follow Chang'an." After finishing speaking, the concubine ignored him and said to He Yunxi, "I want to eat cold noodles this morning."
"No. Cold noodles are cold in nature and are not suitable for eating in the morning." He Yunxi said, "I have prepared soup dumplings, fried dumplings, siu mai and soy milk fried dough sticks for you. Which one do you want to eat?"
"Just the same." After the concubine said that, she went to wait at the dining table without even looking at Jing Wu.
Jing Wu had no choice but to say: "Concubine, the emperor said that if you are unwilling to go back, let the humble officials and others stay to protect you."
"Don't get in my eyes, the rest is up to you." When the concubine saw He Yunxi coming in with breakfast, she ignored him and began to enjoy her breakfast.
Jing Wu got permission from the concubine, stood up and left.
He Yunxi glanced at him and felt that the emperor had probably guessed that the concubine was unwilling to go back, and Jing Wu only meant what he said.
If Jingwu knew what she was thinking, he would definitely tell you the truth.
As the son of a concubine, the emperor would not understand his mother's thoughts. He could delay his previous trip again and again, let alone now that he was going to Chang'an. So he never thought about letting her come back, and planned to wait until the drought passed.
Come back when it's safe on the road.
But on the surface, he still planned to make people think that she had returned to Beijing, and the people Jing Jiu brought were already setting off.
It made people think that the concubine had left for Beijing, and took those people's attention away from Luohe Mansion, so that the concubine who stayed here would be safe.
No one would have thought that the concubine would live with He Yunxi. After all, her temperament is not that easy to get along with.
Jingwu settled down like this, and for the safety of the concubine, he turned from secret to light and protected the concubine personally.
…
On this day, Mrs. Sun suffered from heat stroke when she woke up in the morning. He Yunxi planned to go out to buy groceries by herself.
I have been at home recently and haven't gone out for a long time.
"I'll go with you." The concubine announced directly without refusing.
"Grandma, there are so many people at the vegetable market, it would be bad if I disturbed you," He Yunxi said.
The concubine gave her a look: "Hey, you want to go out on your own without me?"
He Yunxi touched his nose: "I'm going to buy groceries."
"Why don't you take a look around while you're shopping for groceries?" the concubine asked.
Well, this really does happen.
"Grandma, in this weather, if you come back late, you will break out in a sweat." He Yunxi continued to persuade.
"Okay, don't talk so much. Let's go out. If you don't go out, it will be hot to death." The concubine made the final decision and said with disdain as she walked out: "Young man, you should be more cheerful.
Gritty, like an old woman."
He Yunxi rolled his eyes and looked at the sky, telling himself that this is the concubine, this is the concubine, you must respect the elderly, you must respect the elderly.
Really, not letting her go out was not because he was afraid that she would be in danger, but in the end, he turned her around and said she was a bitch.
If it weren't for the fact that she was older and now considered his elder, He Yunxi would have kicked her out!
She exhaled and waved to Luo Fu and the others to leave.
The old lady was about to go out, so she couldn't stop her, so she could only protect her with all her strength.
She thought that the old lady just wanted to go shopping, but who knew that she was actually going to the vegetable market, and was very interested in the vegetables on the street stalls. She wanted to buy this vegetable and that vegetable when she saw it.
That posture is like going to a gold store to buy various jewelry.
He Yunxi stayed with her and did not support her, but he would block the people around her at any time to prevent others from crowding her. The concubine bought a lot of dishes for people and asked her: "Why don't you buy it?"
"Grandma bought enough for us to eat for two days. I'll buy some tube bones later and make bone soup. Then I'll make red fruits into the bottom of the pot and we'll have hot pot with clear soup." He Yunxi responded.
The concubine nodded: "Okay, but I still want to eat the spicy pot bottom."
"Grandma, the weather is like this now. It's easy to get angry if you eat spicy food."
"Don't you know how to make herbal tea? Just drink it with herbal tea." The concubine said, "Last time you said you would make it for me, but it has been more than ten days and you still haven't made it. What if you put it aside?
The emperor’s family in the capital city will be properly punished.”
He Yunxi sighed, she is an old lady with strong taste.
"Grandma, did you eat these at home before?" she asked.
"No, the food at home used to be very bland. Oh, no, it can't be described as bland anymore. It's bland." The concubine was disgusted.
The food in the palace is very high-end, so heavy oil and heavy flavors are not acceptable. Even if it tastes good, it will feel too bland if you eat it for a long time.
He Yunxi asked: "Has grandma ever eaten these foods from outside before?"
"I ate it when I came out, but I can't eat it when I go back." The concubine said, "It's too regimented there. It's so regimented that it takes away the joy of life."
The disgust in her words was so obvious that He Yunxi did not dare to complain with her.
This is an old lady who has been suppressed for a long time. In fact, she is rebellious at heart and yearns for freedom. It is a miracle that such a person can live in the palace for a lifetime.
Queen Mother: Haha, without the protection of the Ai family, she would not survive more than three years.
He Yunxi finally agreed to make mandarin duck pot for the concubine because she respected the concubine's heart of resisting life and dogma.
Moreover, her body has been recuperated by herself, and now she won't have much trouble eating spicy food.
After buying groceries, He Yunxi and the concubine went shopping. The concubine had never gone shopping before and was very interested in shopping. The sun was already out and she didn't want to go back.
Seeing her like this, He Yunxi was a little confused: "Grandma, haven't you gone shopping since you came out?"
"I used to be surrounded by many people, but who dared to go shopping with me?" said the concubine.
He Yunxi was surprised: "Then how dare you let me take you shopping?"
"Isn't this because you are stupid and bold?" said the concubine, "and you have seen me in the most embarrassing state, so you don't need to pay attention to your image."
Silly and bold He Yunxi said: "..." Haha, I'll just take it as your compliment.
They walked around for a while, and He Yunxi saw that she was a little tired, so he took her to a teahouse to rest.
The concubine asked: "Go to the teahouse?"
"Yes, don't you want to experience shopping? After shopping, go to the teahouse to rest. This is a standard part of shopping."
The concubine who doesn't have the standard equipment doesn't understand. Since everyone else goes to the teahouse when shopping, she should go too.
The concubine wanted to have tea in a teahouse, so He Yunxi naturally took her to the most stylish restaurant in Fucheng.
The teahouse is on the edge of the Luo River, not too far from where they live. Because the scenery is pleasant and it is relatively close to the two colleges in Fucheng, many students usually like to gather here to recite poems and write poems against the beautiful scenery of the Luo River.
