To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 208 Speechless

  Xiuyue reached out to pick up the food box.

  One hand was as white as jade, and the other was extremely rough.

  A similar age, but let others look at him as a generation away.

   Chao Hua stared at the withered and wrinkled hand, almost crying.

  The concubine carefully selected four of them to grow up with the princess. In terms of appearance alone, each of them is one in a million.

  Twelve years, sister Xiuyue has become like this.

  The rough hand fell on the handle.

   Chaohua almost uncontrollably touched that hand with her cold fingertips.

  Xiuyue firmly grasped the handle and took the food box.

   Chaohua's heart seemed to be stung by a wasp.

  Pain and helpless.

  She looked at Xiuyue in a daze, but she saw Xiuyue retreating to Luo Sheng's side, submissive and silent.

   Chaohua slowly moved her gaze to Luo Sheng, feeling suspicious.

  Why does Xiuyue treat Miss Luo so respectfully?

  She understands Xiuyue's temperament. It is impossible to accept someone other than the princess as the master simply by accepting death.

  Luo Sheng saw Chao Hua looking at her, raised his lips and smiled: "Servant Yu Xuan, we meet again."

   "Yes, I saw Miss Luo again."

  Luo Sheng smiled and looked at Wei Qiang: "It turns out that the bowl of sour noodle soup that His Highness took away was sent to Yuxuan attendant."

  Facing the girl's half-smile look, Wei Qiang felt annoyed.

  He was the crown prince after all, but was teased by a girl who was ten years younger than him.

   Could it be that this little girl doesn't take him seriously at all?

   And Luo Sheng didn't seem to notice Wei Qiang's dissatisfaction at all, and took Xiuyue's hand and smiled triumphantly at Chaohua: "Servant Yuxuan, are you satisfied with the craftsmanship of our restaurant chef?"

   Chaohua looked at Xiuyue and nodded vigorously: "Satisfied, very satisfied."

   Speaking of this, she paused, unable to hide her regret and said: "It would be great if I could often eat the meals made by this chef."

  Luo Sheng showed a look of helplessness: "As Yuxuan's waiter, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to go to our restaurant for a drink."

   Chao Hua smiled lonely: "Yes."

  She turned to look at Wei Qiang: "Your Highness, we have bothered Miss Luo for a long time, why not go back."

   Wei Qiang nodded and said goodbye to Luo Sheng.

   On the way back, Chaohua was silent.

   Wei Qiang saw it, and said with relief: "It doesn't matter if you can't go to the restaurant, isn't the chef of the restaurant right here. When you arrive in Beihe, there will always be a chance to taste that chef's craftsmanship again."

   Chao Hua hesitated: "Will that cause trouble to Your Highness?"

   "You don't have to worry about these things, Miss Luo will still give me this bit of face."

   Chaohua's pale cheeks became rosy, and her eyes shone with joy: "Thank you, Your Highness."

  Hongdou curled her lips after Wei Qiang left, and muttered in a low voice: "It's all for eating, but it's really embarrassing to even eat and bring it to my concubine."

  Seeing that Shi Yi was about to leave, the little maid hurriedly called to him: "Hey, Shi Sihuo, where are you going?"

  Shi Yi stopped and replied, "Go to the master."

   "Didn't you be left behind by King Kaiyang to wash the dishes?" Hong Dou opened her eyes wide in surprise.

  Shi Yi was taken aback for a moment, then calmly said: "It's finished."

  Seeing the little guard striding away, Hongdou blinked: "Girl, Shi Sanhuo's younger brother turns out to be an idiot."

  Sheng Saburo interrupted: "I can't stand it, it's more stable than Shi Sanhuo."

"Why don't you stay?" Hongdou rolled her eyes at Sheng Sanlang, "King Kaiyang's intention is obviously to let Shi Sihuo leave it for the girl to do chores. Shi Sihuo cleaned up the bowl of this meal and left. You If he doesn’t stay, who will stay?”

  Sheng Saburo suddenly realized: "That's right, leave Shi Sihuo behind, and King Kaiyang will come over when it's time for dinner."

  A cold voice interjected: "Isn't it a good time to leave. We still don't have enough of the food cooked by Aunt Xiu, so why give it to others."

  The boy sullenly, very dissatisfied with Hongdou's move to keep Shi Sihuo.

  Sheng Sanlang explained: "My cousin doesn't know, King Kaiyang is a regular customer of the restaurant, and those who have paid money in advance will always be given some preferential treatment."

   "How much did you pay in advance? My sister is not short of money."

  Sheng Saburo rubbed his chin: "Let's prepay 10,000 taels, which is enough for a month."

  Luo Chen: "..." If so, one or two bowls of noodles is fine.

  Luo Sheng is a big spender, and there will be a lot of places to spend money in the future. Big customers like King Kaiyang should be well maintained.

  Shi Yi, who was being discussed by several people, returned to Wei Han: "Master."

   Wei Han's complexion sank: "Why are you back?"

   "The bowl has been washed." Shi Yi said respectfully.

   Wei Han was silent for a moment, then said lightly, "Back off."

   That's all, the two brothers still don't have to change after they go back, the job of brushing Gong buckets is more suitable for Shi Yi.

  In the carriage, Xiuyue held Luo Sheng's hand emotionally: "Princess, it's really Chaohua, Chaohua has really become that **** man's concubine!"

  Luo Sheng patted Xiuyue's shoulder comfortingly: "Calm down, isn't the purpose of our coming to Qiushou just to get in touch with Chaohua? Xiuyue, you are easy to do bad things like this."

  Xiuyue covered her face with her hands: "The servant girl just... just can't believe it. How can Chaohua commit herself to her enemy? Doesn't she feel sick to sleep next to that wolf-hearted man?"

   There was a moment of silence in the carriage.

  After a long time, Luo Sheng asked softly: "Did you see that bracelet on Chao Hua's wrist?"

  Xiuyue put down her hands and looked at Luo Sheng.

  Luo Sheng raised his wrist: "That bracelet is a pair with the one I'm wearing now, and I gave it to Chaohua for safekeeping before I left the pavilion."

   "Princess—"

  Luo Sheng sighed softly: "I told Chaohua to let her keep the bracelet for me no matter what. Guess what Chaohua said at the time?"

  Xiuyue blurted out almost without hesitation: "If the bracelet is there, the person is alive, but if the bracelet is not, the person is dead?"

  This is the same whether it is Chaohua or her, or Jiangxue and Shufeng.

  If she hadn’t known that the little prince escaped from birth back then, and had the idea of ​​finding him to continue the blood of the Zhennan Palace, she would have gone with the princess the moment she learned of the death of the princess.

   "Yes, Chaohua did say that. But I told her that the bracelet must be there."

  Xiuyue's expression was startled, and after a long time, she murmured: "Is Chaohua protecting the princess's bracelet..."

   "Xiuyue."

   "The servant girl is here."

"Chaohua cooperated with our plan to come to see you. I believe she is still your sister Chaohua. But twelve years is enough to change too many things. Whether to confess my identity needs further contact and judgment. This task is left to is you."

  Xiuyue nodded vigorously, a little dazed: "But Chaohua, as the prince's concubine, may not come to see us even if she arrives in Beihe."

  Beihe paddock has a separate palace, where the emperor and prince live in the palace, and honorable ministers live in the other courtyard. It is still possible for Chaohua, who is in the palace, to eat the food she cooks, but it is not easy to come here in person.

  It is related to the secret of the rebirth of the princess, it is impossible to pass the message through the note.

  Luo Sheng smiled slightly: "It's not convenient for Chaohua to come over, you can go there."

  I’m going to get an injection in the afternoon. If the second one goes better, it will be updated in the afternoon, and if it’s not in time, it will be in the evening.
