To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 232 Intimate Little Padded Jacket

  For some reason, when Xiuyue said that she didn't see Chaohua, Luo Sheng felt a little uneasy.

  Something is not right.

  How could it be possible for Chaohua not to see Xiuyue?

  Even if she was really unwell, she wouldn't just dismiss Xiuyue like this.

   Unless Chaohua senses some danger, it is inconvenient to meet.

   Or if you are in danger, you cannot meet.

   Neither the former nor the latter is a good thing.

  This time when Wei Qiang came to Beihe to hunt, Wei Qiang only brought Chaohua a female family member. There was no threat from the crown princess, and there were no other concubines competing for favor. So what trouble could Chaohua have?

  Luo Sheng thought about it, his eyes turned cold.

   As the concubine of the prince, Chaohua is not qualified to stand in front of the emperor, and Concubine Xiao has no need to embarrass a young servant.

  If there is any trouble, it can only come from Wei Qiang.

  What is the trouble from Wei Qiang?

  The crown prince has always favored Yuxuan servant all these years, and the reason is not a secret—

  Luo Sheng folded his palms slightly, and had a guess: could the trouble be caused by her?

   "Girl, the servant girl is back." Hongdou opened the curtain and walked in quickly.

  The ends of her hair and the corners of her clothes were wet, but she looked very happy.

   "Miss, I didn't expect the emperor to be with the imperial concubine. They all seem to like eating okra baked eggs."

   "Really, did the emperor and the imperial concubine say anything?"

  Hongdou thought for a while and said: "The emperor praised the unusual way of making June persimmons, and the imperial concubine asked the maid to tell you that you have a heart..."

  Luo Sheng listened carefully, and then asked: "When you went, what were the emperor and the imperial concubine doing?"

  Although Hongdou didn't understand why Luo Sheng asked so carefully, she replied honestly: "I'm enjoying singing and dancing."

  Luo Sheng pursed his lips slightly.

   On a rainy day, enjoy singing and dancing, everything seems to be as usual with the emperor and Concubine Xiao.

   "Girl, is the baked okra egg ready to eat?" Hong Dou said impatiently.

   Looking at the okra baked eggs and sugar steamed cheese, she thought it was delicious. The girl said, the baked ones will be given away first, and the last one will wait for her to come back to eat hot ones.

   "Xiu Gu, how many okra eggs are left?"

Xiuyue said: "Send two to Mr. Biao, Mr. Chen, Mrs. Second and Mrs. Four each to two, and Xiao Qi to two, plus the ones sent to Concubine Xiao Gui and Yuxuan attendant, baked. A total of fourteen of the two furnaces have just been delivered, and the other six have just been baked."

  Luo Sheng pondered for a while, and said: "Pack two more and send them to King Kaiyang, and take the other two boxes and give them to me."

   Originally, she didn't intend to give it to King Kaiyang, but Xiuyue didn't see Chaohua's face, so she changed her mind.

  If there is anything wrong with Wei Qiang, he may be able to get a few words from King Kaiyang.

  Red Bean counted, there are six in total, two for King Kaiyang, and two more boxes, then, there are not only two left!

  Thinking about it this way, the little girl's heart ached and her liver trembled.

  Girl must have a serious business to take two, King Kaiyang eats two...isn't it a bit wasteful?

  Seeing Hongdou's expression, Luo Sheng understood what the little maid was thinking, and said with a smile, "Hurry up and give them away, and leave the remaining two to you."

  When Hongdou heard this, he left happily.

  Xiuyue smiled and said, "What a simple child."

  Luo Sheng felt a little uncomfortable hearing this, and sighed: "Only by following Miss Luo can life be so simple."

   As for Chaohua and Xiuyue, one committed himself to a jackal, and the other disfigured their looks.

  Xiuyue couldn't understand Luo Sheng's meaning, so she couldn't help saying: "Princess—"

  Luo Sheng smiled slightly: "Okay, pack the baked okra eggs for me."

   After taking the food box, Luo Sheng walked out.

   "Princess, where are you going?" Normally, Xiuyue wouldn't ask this question, but the solemnity of the princess after hearing that she didn't see Chaohua made her feel uneasy.

  Luo Sheng looked ahead and said calmly: "Go to see my father, Governor Luo."

  It was still raining, and there were bead curtains strung with raindrops hanging on the Chaoshou veranda. The flowers and trees in the courtyard are hazy, and some can't see the original appearance clearly.

  The Governor of Luo Dadu was fiddling with the fried pork slices on the plate without interest, when he heard a servant report that the third girl had arrived.

   Governor Luo hurriedly put down his chopsticks: "Come in, please!"

   Not long after, Luo Sheng walked in with a food box.

  When Governor Luo looked at the food box in her hand, he was immediately excited.

  Sheng'er cooked delicious food at noon today, he knows it.

   There is no way I don’t know, except for him, I gave it away everywhere...

  He was wondering if he had done something wrong and offended his daughter, but he didn't expect Sheng'er to deliver it in person.

  Thinking about it this way, Governor Luo was very moved.

   "Sheng'er, just send me whatever you want to send. It's still raining outside."

   "The rain is much lighter, and I can't get drenched." Luo Sheng put the food box on the dining table, and asked casually, "Has father finished eating?"

   "No, I just ate!" Governor Luo said quickly.

   "Uh." Luo Sheng opened the food box, and while Captain Luo was waiting eagerly, he put two plates of baked okra eggs in front of him.

   Governor Luo was in high spirits, and his face was reserved for a moment: "Sheng'er, what kind of dish is this? It looks like June persimmons are roasted."

  I always feel that the taste will be weird.

  But the news from Chen'er is not like this.

   It is said that when the maidservant in the Sheng'er courtyard delivered the food, Chen'er and the black boy were together, because there was a June persimmon in the black boy's share, which was too big, and the two boys fought...

   "This dish is called baked eggs with okra, father, let's try it." Luo Sheng lifted the lid and explained lightly.

  Looking at the situation inside after the June persimmon was opened, Chief Governor Luo twitched his index finger.

   After finishing one portion in two bites, Governor Luo suddenly understood the mood of the two boys fighting.

   "It's gone..." Governor Luo couldn't remember it for a while, and after taking a look at Luo Sheng, he realized that her face was sinking like water and her expression was gloomy.

   "What's wrong with Sheng'er?" His stomach felt better, and Governor Luo cared more about his daughter.

   "Today, my daughter also sent a copy to the imperial concubine and Yuxuan attendant."

   "Then why are you unhappy?"

  Sheng'er's appearance was common in the past.

  Every time I do this, it seems like I'm going to get into trouble...

  When thinking of his daughter just mentioning Concubine Xiao and Yuxuan attendant, Dudu Luo's heart skipped a beat.

  If the target of the trouble is Concubine Xiao or Yuxuan attendant, this is not acceptable.

   Chief Superintendent Luo immediately changed the subject: "Ahem, the baked okra eggs that Shenger sent today are really delicious—"

   Talk about something happy, maybe Sheng'er will forget about it.

   "Isn't Yuxuan waiter!" Luo Sheng raised his chin, looking annoyed, "I gave her food with good intentions, but she actually avoided seeing her, and dismissed my people very impatiently."

  Luo Sheng became angrier as he talked: "Do you think she looks down on me?"

  Luo Dadu smiled dryly: "No."

   "If you think you are the crown prince's choice of servant, you will be defiant. This kind of person owes a lesson." The girl looked at her father, very considerate, "If my daughter beats her with a whip, the prince will not make things difficult for you, will he?"

Good morning.
