Chapter 37
Chen Tianci knelt down in fear.
Huangfu Qi managed to calm down, looking at Chen Tianci who was in a panic, he really didn't know what to laugh at.
"You're quite honest," he said finally.
Chen Tianci bowed his head even lower, "In front of Shengjia, I dare not hide anything."
Still the same as before, Huangfu Qi thought.Look trembling, but never say the wrong thing easily.
Huangfu Qi turned his gaze back to Huangfu He, "Why are you kneeling too?"
"Your Majesty," Huangfuhe saluted him solemnly, "The fault given by God is my fault."
Huangfu Qi waved his hands helplessly, "Get up, don't be so nervous. I'm just chatting with the young master, not trying to beat the mandarin ducks."
"Your Majesty," Huangfuhe raised a playful face as soon as he stood up, "I'm hungry. Since it's just chatting, why don't we chat while eating?"
Tianci was sent to the palace early in the morning. During this period, he was tired and afraid that he would not eat anything. He must be hungry now.
When Huangfu Qi saw Huangfu He said that he wanted to eat, Chen Tianci swallowed his saliva thinking no one noticed.
"It's just right, I may not have dinner with Brother Huang for a long time." Huangfu Qi ordered.
The meals were quickly prepared and placed in the Storm Pavilion in the Imperial Garden.
Huangfu Qi sat down first, Huangfu and Chen Tianci went in together.
Chen Tianci was very happy when he heard that there was food to eat, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that one was the emperor and the other was the prince at the same table, and he was just a commoner with no official title, so he dared not sit down.
Huangfu Qi saw that he was uncomfortable, and called him to sit down in a harmonious voice, "Young master, you don't need to be polite. There are no outsiders here, you should just be at home."
"Thank you, Lord Long En." Chen Tianci replied timidly, and then sat down.
Huangfuhe was sitting next to him, seeing Huangfuqi move his chopsticks, he poured a bowl of soup into his own bowl first.Carefully skimming off the froth in the soup, he took Chen Tianci's bowl and poured half of it into it, blowing it to a palatable temperature before sending it to Chen Tianci's hands.
"You haven't eaten for most of the day, drink some soup to warm your stomach first."
Chen Tianci nodded obediently, took the soup bowl and drank it in small sips.
When he was almost done drinking, Huangfu and He picked up a braised lion's head, first cut it into small pieces with chopsticks, and then picked out one of them and put it into Chen Tianci's bowl.
Chen Tianci smiled softly at him, picked it up and put it in his mouth naturally.
Huangfuhe continued to serve him food.Pick up the green vegetables, pick out the tenderest cabbage and send them to his bowl.For Kung Pao Chicken, you have to skim off the chili seeds on top, and wipe off the oil slick on your own rice before giving it to him.Naturally, the fish bones must be picked out first.
Huangfu Qi couldn't eat anymore as he watched from the sidelines.I really can't see that the young master of the censor's family eats more finely than the emperor.
"Young master," Huangfu Qi put down his chopsticks and asked aloud, "Do you eat like this at home?"
Chen Tianci was eating, when he heard the question, he silently swallowed the food in his mouth, and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Huangfu Qi frowned, and continued to ask, "Have you ever picked up food yourself?"
Chen Tianci thought for a while, "When you don't eat with your mother and the prince, the grass people take their own food."
Sure enough, very sincere.Huangfu Qi pointed to the food on the table, "Pick some food for me to see."
"Yes." Chen Tianci agreed, looked at the dining table, and picked up a piece of cauliflower with his chopsticks.
"Cut meat." Huangfu Qi said.
Chen Tianci raised his chopsticks to look at the few meat dishes closest to him, such as braised pork, palace crispy chicken, and sweet and sour carp.
His chopsticks paused in front of the three dishes, and he still didn't know how to use them.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that he didn't know what to do, Huangfu Qi became even more curious, "You don't like these dishes?"
When Huangfu He gave it to him just now, he obviously had a good time eating it.
"Is there a problem with the braised pork?"
Chen Tianci bowed his head, and whispered back, "Caomin don't eat fat."
Huangfu Qi moved his fingers, "Gong Crispy Chicken?"
"Grassmen don't eat chicken skin."
"Sweet and sour carp?"
"Grassmen...can't pick carp bones."
I really can't blame him for this.Most of the food in this world is carp, and I don't know if it is a matter of species, but there are more fish bones than modern carp.After he got stuck trying to eat fish by himself, Mrs. Chen strictly forbade him to pick fishbone by himself.
Huangfu Qi glanced at his thin body, and sighed softly, "It's not easy for your parents to raise you."
"It's not difficult." Huangfuhe interjected, with an experienced look, "Tianci is well-behaved and obedient, and he is very happy to raise."
Huangfu Qi gave him a silent look.Will you die if you don't show your affection today?
The three of them were talking when they suddenly heard the eunuch singing, "The Empress Dowager is here."
After hearing this, Huangfu Qi hurriedly got up and saluted.
Huangfuhe was a little slow, stretched out his hand and squeezed Chen Tianci's hand tightly for a while, and then led him to kneel down on the ground.
The empress dowager approached slowly, and the graceful and luxurious woman's moody expression was somewhat similar to that of Huangfu Qi, "The Ai family held a big banquet and invited all the princes and grandchildren, but you two are here to hold a small banquet by yourself. Why do you mourn?" Is it so difficult for my family to have a meal with you?"
Huangfu Qi bowed his head and confessed, "Mother, please forgive me. Brother Huang and I were having a great time talking, and we couldn't help having a good time, but unexpectedly we delayed the queen mother's big banquet."
"Ai's family believes that you are a ghost!" The queen mother dismissed his words with a chuckle, and intentionally or unintentionally cast her gaze on Chen Tianci, who was kneeling on the ground, "Just now Ai's family saw a beautiful woman as a companion at the banquet from afar." "You beauty, raise your head up for Aijia to see."
It's over.Chen Tianci was swinging in his heart, the queen mother misunderstood his gender, how should he explain it?
Not knowing what to do, Chen Tianci could only raise his head obediently.
For some reason, the moment the Empress Dowager's eyes met, the other party looked away in a panic, and even tilted his body while holding his head.
"The Ai family is tired, the emperor will send the Ai family back to the palace." Before everyone could react, the queen mother half-closed her eyes and spoke.
"Yes, Empress Mother." Huangfu Qi responded to the Empress Dowager, and stepped forward to support the Empress Dowager.
Seeing this, Huangfu tugged on Chen Tianci's sleeves, and led him to kowtow together, "Respectfully send off the Queen Mother."
Huangfuqi, who was supporting the queen mother, turned his head and waved to Huangfuhe, indicating that they could leave.
Back in the Empress Dowager's bedroom, the Empress Dowager's hand holding her head suddenly dropped and clenched into a fist.
"The Ai family knew a long time ago that he never forgot how his mother and concubine died!"
Huangfu Qi couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, "Why did the queen mother say that?"
"Chen Tianci." The queen mother narrowed her eyes slightly, her voice was cold, "When you said that he suddenly cared about the young master of the Yushi family, the Ai family had doubts. Seeing Chen Tianci today, I finally understand Why did he chase after him?"
The puzzlement in Huangfuqi's eyes deepened, "Mother?"
The queen mother glanced at him and asked, "Don't you think Chen Tianci's appearance in women's clothing looks familiar?"
Huangfu Qi recalled it, and Chen Tianci's face gradually overlapped with another face in his memory.
"Brother Huang..." Huangfu Qi sighed heavily, "What does the Queen Mother think?"
After pondering for a while, the Queen Mother gradually came up with an idea, "We have been trying to evade him before, but he has too much prestige in the army, and your foundation is not stable, so you have no reason not to move him. Now that you have confirmed that he really has a different intention, It's better to delegate power to him. If he is entrusted with a heavy responsibility, the Ai family will not believe that he will not show his feet."
After hearing this, Huangfu Qi nodded in agreement before returning to her, "I also have this intention. However, Brother Huang is an incomparable talent today, and I still hope that he can be used by me. Therefore, I ask the Queen Mother to take care of Brother Huang. I'm in charge."
The Empress Dowager looked at the calm and calm Huangfu Qi in front of her and felt relieved, "Qi'er, I have never regretted what I did back then. You will be a good emperor, and the first emperor will definitely be proud of you."
"Mother, don't worry." Huangfu Qi bowed his head slightly, with a confident expression, "I will never let my mother down."
