To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 207 Meeting

   Wei Qiang took the food box and went to a carriage.

  Qing'er was leaning against the wall of the car and taking a nap.

   "Ahem."

  Hearing the movement, Qing'er suddenly opened his eyes, seeing Wei Qiang hurriedly saluted: "Your Highness."

   "Is the waiter inside?"

  Qing'er nodded hurriedly: "The waiter is here."

   "Has she eaten?"

  Qing'er showed concern: "I hardly moved my chopsticks, and the waiter said he has no appetite."

   Wei Qiang couldn't help frowning.

  Yu Niang is weak, so the journey is really too much to bear, and it is inevitable that she will not be able to eat.

  He got into the carriage with the food box.

  The compartment is very spacious, with low couch soft blankets, closets and small tables.

  A slender woman with thick black hair lay on her side on a low couch, as if she had fallen asleep.

   "Yu Niang, are you asleep?"

   After a while, the woman with her back to Wei Qiang slowly turned around and sat up, smiling at him: "Why is Your Highness here at this time?"

   "See if you have eaten."

   Chaohua's face was pale, and her smile was a little weak: "Eat some."

  Wei Qiang leaned over and held her hand: "Don't coax me, I heard from Qing'er that you didn't move your chopsticks."

   Chao Hua frowned: "Qing'er is really talkative."

  Facing the man's displeased expression, she smiled helplessly: "It's inevitable that you will feel bored after a long time in the carriage, so you should eat less."

   "I brought you a bowl of noodles." Wei Qiang pointed to the food box that had just been placed on the table, "It's made of sour soup, maybe you can eat it."

   Chaohua hesitated and did not move.

  Wei Qiang persuaded: "I brought it specially for you, at least try it."

   Chao Hua smiled blushingly: "Your Highness has bothered you."

   Seeing her smile, Wei Qiang felt warm in his heart.

   These days, Yu Niang smiles more than before, which makes him feel better when she sees her.

  Thinking like this, Wei Qiang lifted the lid of the box with his own hands, and carefully brought out the large blue and white bowl.

  When Chaohua saw the bowl of sour noodle soup covered with diced ham, her eyes changed slightly, and she asked calmly, "Your Highness, aren't these noodles made by the imperial chef?"

   Wei Qiang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "Of course not, guess where this bowl of noodles came from."

   Chao Hua thought for a while, and said: "Could it be that you got it from Miss Luo? I heard from His Highness earlier that Miss Luo will bring the chef from the wine shop this time."

   "Yu Niang is really smart." Wei Qiang nodded in approval, and handed her a pair of chopsticks.

   Chaohua hesitated for a moment, took the chopsticks with trembling fingertips, picked up a few noodles and put them into her mouth.

   "How?" Wei Qiang looked at her with expectation.

   Chaohua swallowed the noodles and nodded: "It's delicious."

  Wei Qiang smiled: "Then you eat more."

"Um."

   Seeing that a large bowl of noodles was about to bottom out, Wei Qiang couldn't help but said, "The noodles are not tasty if they are cold, it's okay to have some left over."

   With Yuniang's appetite, is it a bit too much?

   Chaohua stopped her chopsticks, her eyes gleamed with joy: "The noodles are delicious even when they are cold."

  Wei Qiang had nothing to say immediately, and when Chao Hua drank the noodle soup, he suppressed his shock and suggested, "Yu Niang, why don't you go for a walk."

   Chao Hua glanced at the car door, hesitantly asked: "Is this suitable?"

   "Why is it inappropriate? I just had lunch and many women are walking outside."

   Chaohua nodded.

  Watching Wei Qiang get out of the car first with cold eyes, Chao Hua raised the corners of his lips while touching her slightly swollen belly.

   Walking out of the carriage, the cool wind blows in front of you.

   Chaohua exhaled lightly, and looked up.

   As far as I can see, there are unfamiliar faces.

  The man's voice rang in my ear: "There is still some time before the departure, let's walk around as you like."

   Chaohua glanced back at the car door.

"how?"

"Your Highness, why don't you take me to meet the chef of a restaurant. I am very curious about what kind of chef can make such delicious sour noodle soup." Zhao Hua said this with a smile on the corner of his mouth, seemingly casually, In fact, he clenched his fists nervously.

  She was hungry for several meals and waited for such an opportunity. If she missed it, she didn't know when she would wait.

   There is an opportunity to meet the chef of a restaurant, she must seize it!

  She wants to see if that person is sister Xiuyue.

  Wei Qiang didn't know that the person in front of him was doing every step of the way. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "Alright, just return the food box."

   Chaohua bent down and entered the carriage, took out the food box, and said with a smile, "Concubine, take the food box."

  Looking at the smile on Chaohua's lips, Wei Qiang's eyes flickered, and somehow felt that this smile was familiar.

   It looks a bit like Miss Luo laughing.

   "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

   Wei Qiang shook his head.

  He must be dazed, how could he have such an idea.

  How can there be similarities between Yuniang and Miss Luo?

  If you want to say similar, in fact, Yuniang has something like Luo Er.

  Luoer once said that Shufeng's intelligence lies in his natural talent, and Yu Niang's intelligence lies in her transparency. The two maids who are going to take to Pingnan Palace are not his concubines.

  She will promise them to a man who can stand side by side, so that she can live up to them and follow her.

  At that time, he was a little annoyed that Luoer underestimated his feelings for her.

   But in the end, he broke his promise.

  Luoer died, it would be too difficult for him to hold on to the person she left behind.

   "Let's go." Wei Qiang nodded slightly and walked in front.

   Chao Hua lowered her eyes and followed with a sneer in her heart.

   This self-deceiving man really disgusted her.

  The scarlet figure disappeared from Luo Sheng's place, only Sheng Sanlang and others were left to help Xiuyue clean up the pots and pans.

   These belongings were brought out from the wine shop, so there must be no mistakes.

   "Cousin, the prince is here again." Sheng Sanlang happened to look up at the cold iron pot, and hurriedly reminded Luo Sheng.

  Luo Sheng looked over.

  Xiuyue also looked over.

  A large blue and white bowl fell from Xiuyue's hand.

  Sheng Saburo saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, so he hurriedly used the iron pot to catch the bowl.

   One hand firmly caught the blue and white bowl, and put it on the long case beside it.

  Sheng Saburo couldn't help but praised: "Shi Sihuo, you are really good at it."

  Shi Yi gave him a serious look, but said nothing.

  This Mr. Sheng is as familiar as Miss Luo's maid.

   "Miss Luo, I'll return the food box." Seeing that his arrival caused a little trouble, Wei Qiang was a little amused.

   "Your Highness, you are welcome." Luo Sheng looked past Wei Qiang and looked at Chao Hua for a moment, then turned his head and told Xiuyue, "Xiu Gu, go and get the food box."

  After a while, Xiuyue spit out a word: "Yes."

  She walked towards Chaohua step by step.

   Chao Hua stood where she was, trying not to show any strangeness on her face, her heart was already turbulent.

   That's Xiuyue!

  Even though her face was disfigured and her appearance changed, Xiuyue's voice remained unchanged.

   What's more, she is proficient in disguise, and it is difficult for a person's external changes to hide from her eyes.

  Xiuyue has already stood still in front of Chaohua, and stretched out her hand: "Give me the food box, sir."

   Chaohua seemed to be stung by the word "noble person", and the hand holding the food box trembled suddenly.

  The hand wearing the gold-studded seven-treasure bracelet passed the food box over.

  Wei Qiang's voice sounded at the right time: "Yu Niang, this is the chef of a restaurant, you see it now."

  Chao Hua pursed her lips: "Yes, I see you."

  Thanks to Beiying Lingzu and Mou Mu for the rewards of 10,000 coins, and thanks to everyone who tipped and voted. I just wrote the second update today, but fortunately, I didn't make everyone wait until the next day before the early morning. Because there is no manuscript saved, the first update tomorrow is expected to be in the morning, and the time is to be determined. After these two days of work, I will try to adjust back to the previous update time.
