After the general is bound to the demon concubine system

The next evening.

Yu Xiujin remembered that he was going to Huang Zhaoyi's place, and it was about time, so he raised his head from a pile of memorials, rubbing his brows, and rushed directly to Changle Palace where Huang Zhaoyi was.

Along the way, Yu Xiujin felt a little thumping in his heart.

...Huang Zhaoyi is still young and has an out-of-the-box personality. No matter what she does, she can't calm down. The embroidered handkerchief is crooked, and she doesn't know what the food she cooks will taste like.

Yu Xiujin had already prepared himself mentally, but to his surprise, the meals Huang Zhaoyi prepared for him were quite decent.

Every dish is indeed Yu Xiujin's favorite taste, even the cup of strong tea in his hand is the hot temperature he likes.

Huang Zhaoyi looked at Yu Xiujin with bright eyes, and asked, "Your Majesty, do the dishes cooked by my concubine still suit your taste?"

Yu Xiujin praised: "The craftsmanship is good, beyond my expectation."

Huang Zhaoyi immediately laughed happily: "Your Majesty, please eat more!"

Yu Xiujin nodded.

Huang Zhaoyi enthusiastically repaired brocade dishes for Yu, and said: "The emperor hasn't come to Changle Palace for a long time, and the concubine is always boring by herself. If the emperor is free in the future, I will come here, and the concubine will cook for the emperor." eat."

He asked again: "By the way, Your Majesty, I wonder how the Third Prince is doing?"

Yu Xiujin replied: "Uncle Huang asked me about you a few days ago, and cared about you a lot."

Huang Zhaoyi smiled brightly again, and then told Yu Xiujin some interesting things about herself or other concubines recently, and when the interesting things were finished, she began to talk about where the leaves turned yellow and where the flowers bloomed when she went for a walk up.

Yu Xiujin looked at Huang Zhaoyi's innocence full of hope, and felt that the taste of the good food in his mouth had become dull.

He knew what Huang Zhaoyi wanted in his heart, and he didn't want to see her compliment him in such a devious manner, so he said, "It's been two months since your mother entered the palace last time? Let your mother come back to live in the palace while the weather is still warm." A few days."

"Really?! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Huang Zhaoyi couldn't hide the surprise on his face, as if he was going to kneel.Yu Xiujin slightly raised his hand to stop her movement, and put down the chopsticks in his hand: "I've finished eating, and it's almost time, so I won't disturb your rest."

Huang Zhaoyi was taken aback, and blurted out: "Isn't the emperor staying today?"

Yu Xiujin gave a faint "hmm", and retreated from the hall under Huang Zhaoyi's disappointed eyes.

Before Li Sijiu came, every time Yu Xiujin came out of the concubine's palace, he would go to the imperial garden or the lake. Chang Shunhai naturally didn't dare to ask why, but how many emperors didn't have eccentricities?Even if Yu Xiujin likes to go to the grassland to ride horses after favoring his concubine, it is not something he can control; seeing Yu Xiujin coming out of Changle Palace, Chang Shunhai asked as usual: "Your Majesty, where are you going?"

But I heard Yu Xiujin answer: "Go to Jintu Palace."

Chang Shunhai was taken aback: "...The Brocade Palace? Just now Xiao Pingzi told the servants that the lights in the Brocade Palace have gone out, so Mr. Li must have fallen asleep."

Yu Xiujin was not surprised that Chang Shunhai would know Li Sijiu's movements - from the day Li Sijiu entered the palace, his every move was under his control, what he ate, drank, and said Whatever he said, someone would report it to him.Yu Xiujin was surprised that Li Sijiu fell asleep at this hour?

But immediately, a flash of understanding flashed across his face.

He ordered Chang Shunhai: "Send the pearl tree in the Zhenbu Palace to Li Sijiu."

Chang Shunhai's face suddenly fell down: "The emperor..."

The pearl tree in Yu Xiujin’s mouth is made of copper in the shape of a plum blossom tree. Red pearls are embedded in the trunk to act as plum blossoms. Not to mention lifelike, whenever the light shines through, those pearls will emit a soft luster. It's so beautiful.In terms of price, it is not much better than the red jade hairpin last time.

Just as Chang Shunhai was about to persuade him, Yu Xiujin gave him a faint glance. Chang Shunhai felt a chill down his spine, fearing that he would make Yu Xiujin angry by talking too much, so he hurriedly answered yes, and summoned two young eunuchs to move things .

Yu Xiujin felt at ease.

Presumably, Li Sijiu went to Huang Zhaoyi's place, jealous and sad, unwilling to face the long night, so he went to bed early; fearing that he would do something wrong again, he simply gave away the pearl he had been staring at yesterday. Give it to him, I think it will be able to comfort him well.

Yu Xiujin originally planned to go directly to Li Sijiu's place the next day after leaving court, but as soon as he got out of court, he heard Chang Shunhai say: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager told you to go over."

The queen mother is looking for him again?

Did he make a mistake again?

But I didn't expect that the Queen Mother called him over this time, but it was not to scold him, but to praise him.

The Empress Dowager looked at Yu Xiujin approvingly: "The Emperor finally understands how to give kindness and strength together."

... When and who did he show favor and power to?

Yu Xiujin listened calmly to the queen mother and continued: "Even if we want to beware of that Li Sijiu, we still can't stay by his side day and night, staring at him... This harem is not for him to show his authority. a blessed place."

Yu Xiujin suddenly realized that it turned out that he went to Huang Zhaoyi's place yesterday and was understood by the Queen Mother as a way to suppress Li Sijiu.Yu Xiujin said deeply: "What mother said is exactly what she thinks."

The queen mother nodded with a gratified smile: "The emperor just took advantage of this opportunity to go to other people's palaces."

Hearing this, Yu Xiujin subconsciously frowned, but she heard the queen mother say: "The emperor went to Concubine Ying's place the day before yesterday, and Huang Zhaoyi's place yesterday... It's fine if the emperor doesn't go anywhere, but since he has already gone to their palace If you don’t go to others, it will inevitably make people sad.”

Yu Xiujin explained: "Concubine Ying was ill the day before yesterday, and yesterday was..."

The queen mother sighed, stopped Yu Xiujin's words, and said: "The emperor was indifferent since he was a child, and he didn't have much interest in the affairs of men and women. The Ai family also knew that the emperor didn't want to...but...but you are the emperor."

There was a look of sadness and anticipation on the Queen Mother's eyebrows: "Those concubines are not just women, they have their families behind them, and they have many ties to this court... The emperor still remembers that the late emperor I always tell you... being an emperor is actually a hard job."

This is what the former emperor always said. Yu Xiujin naturally still remembers it. The queen mother looked at him eagerly, waiting for his response. Go around where others are."

The queen mother was satisfied with this.

Li Sijiu thought that Yu Xiujin would just go to Huang Zhaoyi's place for a meal, and he would still come to his place the next day, but he didn't expect that this farewell would last for four whole days!

Li Sijiu heard from Wanzhi that after Yu Xiujin went to Huang Zhaoyi's for dinner that day, it seemed that some strange switch had been turned on. Today he went to Xue Zhaoyi's palace, and tomorrow he went to Li Zhaoyi's palace, changing places one day, It's like punching in a scenic spot.

Excluding Li Sijiu, there are ten concubines in Yu Xiujin's harem. If it is true what Wanzhi said, Li Sijiu will have to meet Yu Xiujin for six full days.

Do I have to have ten days without any pet value? ?

Thinking of this possibility, Li Sijiu became anxious.

He told Wanzhi: "Go, find the emperor, and tell me I'm sick."

Wanzhi was surprised and said, "Young master...are you sick?"

Li Sijiu leaned on the couch: "Yes, I just got sick."

Wanzhi: "..."

I get it, it turns out that I want to pretend to be sick and compete for favor.

Wanzhi subconsciously wanted to persuade Li Sijiu not to do this, but when she looked up, she saw Li Sijiu resting her head on her hands, her eyes were full of calculations; Wanzhi immediately didn't dare to say anything, she put her head on the waistband of her trousers, He walked out the door as if he was dead.

When Wanzhi found Yu Xiujin, Yu Xiujin was listening to Xu Zhaoyi playing the piano in Xu Zhaoyi's palace; Xu Zhaoyi's piano skills are superb, but he can only play sad songs. Deep sorrow.Yu Xiujin felt his heart getting heavier when he heard that, but when he heard that Li Sijiu was sick, he felt relieved, and hurriedly said, "I'll go and see."

Xu Zhaoyi stood up from behind the piano, looked at him with watery eyes, and Yu Xiujin said to her: "Just don't worry, your father is an important minister in the court, but he just said a few words wrong, and I will not talk to him." Difficult."

Xu Zhaoyi finally showed a smile.

After arriving at Jintu Palace, Yu Xiujin saw Li Sijiu lying on the couch, his face was pale, and his usually bright red lips also turned paler.

Yu Xiujin sat on the side of the bed, stretched out his hand to his forehead: "What's wrong with Ah Jiu? Did you call the imperial doctor?"

Li Sijiu coughed twice: "I have nothing to do, I just wanted to cook a delicious meal for the emperor, but I fainted because of being too tired."

Yu Xiujin frowned slowly.

Why does this sound familiar?

He withdrew his hand from Li Sijiu's forehead, but saw that his palm was covered with white powder.

?

Yu Xiujin immediately realized what was going on - Li Sijiu was pretending to be sick to lure him here, and even the reason why he pretended to be sick was exactly the same as the reason when Concubine Ying fainted a few days ago, without even a word Changed.

Yu Xiujin found it both funny and absurd, and when he saw Li Sijiu, he pretended to cough a few more times: "I wonder if the emperor can come over tomorrow to try my handiwork."

Yu Xiujin hesitated.According to his plan, tomorrow he will visit He Zhaoyi Palace.

But Li Sijiu stretched out his hand to hold his finger, and said expectantly: "Chen, I haven't seen the emperor for several days."

Every time he thinks that Li Sijiu is playing with his mind time for him, Yu Xiujin feels a little complacency in his heart that cannot be suppressed.Today was no exception. Before Yu Xiujin could react, he had already said the words: "Then I will come over tomorrow and try Ah Jiu's craftsmanship."

[Favorite value +10! 】

Li Sijiu smiled slowly.

It is impossible to cook by yourself.

The next night, as soon as Li Sijiu heard the news that Yu Xiujin had arrived at the Brocade Palace, he quickly bought a few things in the mall. In an instant, the table was covered with food.

The system asked hesitantly: [Yes, can it work?I, why, think, a little, unreliable, ah. 】

[Where is it unreliable? 】Li Sijiu didn't understand the system's concerns: 【This is a delicacy in the world, who has eaten it once and doesn't want to eat it a second time?Let me tell you, the little emperor cannot leave me from today on. 】

The system murmured: [The product, once sold, is non-refundable and non-exchangeable, yo!If, little emperor, you don't like it...you can't allow it, blame me. 】

Li Sijiu said: [Don't worry, if you don't like me, just eat it all yourself, and I won't blame you. 】

Talking to the system, Yu Xiujin had already walked in, and Li Sijiu couldn't hide his excitement: "The emperor is here, and I made a table of delicious food, and I'll wait for the emperor to come and eat."

Yu Xiujin looked at the food on the table: "What kind of food is this? I've never seen it before."

Li Sijiu introduced him one by one: "This is called fried chicken, this is called cola, this is hamburger, French fries...these are all delicacies from Chen's hometown."

Chang Shunhai looked at Yu Xiujin worriedly.

These foods look strange and look wrong, not to mention that they were made by Li Sijiu, and I don't know if they have been poisoned. Just as Chang Shunhai was about to volunteer to test the poison, he saw Yu Xiujin had already sat down at the table .

Yu Xiujin said: "Since it is the delicacy of Ah Jiu's hometown, I must try it... Where are the chopsticks?"

Li Sijiu said: "You don't need chopsticks, you can eat with your hands." He said as he grabbed the burger and showed Yu Xiujin a demonstration.

This is an idea that Li Sijiu came up with after thinking about it all night. Junk food is the most characteristic product of modern society. Although it is not healthy, it is delicious enough.This table used up a full 100 of his love points, if it wasn't for Yu Xiujin, Li Sijiu would never be willing to buy it.

Li Sijiu took a bite of the hamburger. The bun was soft, the salad dressing was rich, and the chicken inside was crispy...the taste was exactly the same as Li Sijiu remembered.

Li Sijiu actually felt a little wet in his eye sockets.

Following his example, Yu Xiujin picked up the hamburger and took a bite, his face froze immediately.

He chewed the hamburger for a long time before swallowing it, looked at the cola on the table, took it tentatively, and took a sip.

Li Sijiu asked: "What do you think, Your Majesty? Is it delicious?"

Yu Xiujin felt mixed feelings in his heart.

Five years ago, Li Sijiu joined the Great Zhou army as if he appeared out of thin air. The emperor's uncle went to investigate for a long time, but he couldn't find out where he came from. No one in the army had ever heard Li Sijiu mention him. Today is Yu Xiujin's first encounter with things related to Li Sijiu's hometown.

No wonder... No wonder Li Sijiu never wanted to mention it.

The taste of the food is so hard to swallow, not to mention that there are no utensils, and you have to eat it with your hands like an uncivilized nation...

Thinking of the food on Li Sijiu's table just now, Yu Xiujin's face was moved; and thinking that he was willing to put this unbearable past in front of him, Yu Xiujin felt a little sad in his heart, and he couldn't help sighing: "No wonder you never talked about your hometown. It turns out that you lived so hard there."

Li Sijiu: ...

what?

How did the little emperor come to this conclusion?
