Chapter 33 Orange
The man was a little helpless, "Zhaozhao, I haven't said anything yet."
He just glanced at her and realized that she was feeling guilty, so she didn't need him to trick her, so she took the initiative to say whatever she wanted.
Yun Zhao: "..."
She snorted softly, "Are you going to eat it? If not, I'll take it away."
Xiao Changyin held her wrist and took the plate.
He peeled the orange open, slowly removed the veins on it, and finally put a piece in his mouth while Yun Zhao watched.
From beginning to end, his expression did not change at all.
Yun Zhao became suspicious. She had never tasted it, but the oranges at this time had green skin. Logically speaking, they would taste sour even if they were not bitter.
Could it be that the oranges grown in Beixiao are different from those in Yun State? Although they are both green-skinned, they still taste sweet?
She was a little greedy, so she raised her head and went over to take a look.
There were six oranges on a plate, Xiao Changyin took the top one, and there were five left.
She wanted to eat a little bit, but Xiao Changyin's expression didn't change after eating, so he shouldn't be so sore.
However, she is not easy to speak.
"Is it sweet?" Yun Zhao asked.
When Xiao Changyin heard her words, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at her face. After looking at it for a while, he ate an orange segment, nodded and said, "Sweet."
Yunzhao had not eaten oranges this year and began to recall the sweet and sour taste of oranges.
"Do you want to eat?" Xiao Changyin handed over the remaining half of the orange, and then slowly took back his hand, "I guess the princess doesn't like to eat it."
"So let's eat all these oranges."
Yun Zhao originally wanted to go back to Fanghua Hall to get two more to eat, but she couldn't hold back after hearing this. She took one from the plate and peeled it open, "It's a beautiful idea, I want to eat it too."
!”
When the orange peel was completely peeled off, she split the orange into two, stuffed half of it into her mouth, and squinted her eyes, waiting for the sweet and sour taste.
The next moment, her facial features were sore that they were deformed.
"You lied to me? You said it was sweet!" Yun Zhao found a cup of tea on the table and poured it in, which relieved the smell.
Xiao Changyin silently looked at the tea cup in her hand, not pointing out that he had just used it, otherwise she would have been sulking there for ten days and a half.
It doesn't matter if he is sulking, what he is most afraid of is that she will come up with some ideas to torture him.
But every time, while torturing him, she was also torturing herself.
His eyes gradually moved upward, falling on her face, and looked into her beautiful almond eyes, "It's sweet."
Yun Zhao didn't think about anything else, he just looked at the remaining half of the orange in his hand suspiciously.
One half of an orange should taste the same as the other half.
So she took it wrong?
She didn't believe in evil and took another orange, and then she was so sore that she couldn't open her eyes.
After a while, the plate was empty, and there were five half-peeled oranges on the table.
Xiao Changyin could only pass the water silently.
He wanted to stop him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Yun Zhao felt that he was laughing at her, so he peeled the oranges faster.
"Is the one you're eating sweet?" Yun Zhao hasn't given up yet, and is staring closely at the small half in Xiao Changyin's hand.
She has eaten so much. If she can't eat a sweet one that satisfies her, she will wake up from her dream and regret it even if she goes to bed tonight.
Yun Zhao struggled for a while, then leaned over and took the smaller half in his hand.
She also gave an explanation for her behavior, "I think you don't seem to like eating very much, so don't waste it."
"Those who waste food will be struck to death by thunder."
Xiao Changyin was stunned for a moment, then took a step slower, watching helplessly as Yun Zhao went from being elated to sour that his whole face wrinkled to angry.
"You lied to me!" She couldn't believe it. Five and a half oranges, plus the smaller half, she almost ate three whole green-skinned oranges.
It was so sore that the roots of her teeth felt soft.
Xiao Changyin felt that he was wronged. He had done many evil things, but this time he really felt wronged. He just felt that with this weather, there should be a heavy snow in the sky to clearly show his injustice.
Xiao Changyin did not hand over the tea, but took out a small oil paper bag from the box under the table.
After opening it, there are crystal clear rice dumpling candies piled one after another inside.
"I won't eat it." She turned her head to one side and looked at the candies with her peripheral vision.
It looks delicious, there are pine nuts in it, and it tastes sweet and fragrant.
But the man figured out what she was thinking, and instead laughed, as if with sarcasm, "This is what I eat alone."
Yun Zhao turned to look at him, and took away the oil paper bag in his hand. At this moment, he seemed to feel that he had finally gotten something back, and his head was held high.
She put the paper bag into her sleeve and said, "I won't even give you one to eat."
When he got out of the door, Yun Zhao looked very ugly in the eyes of everyone.
After all, after eating so many sour oranges, and realizing that this time she seemed to be killing eighty enemies and losing a thousand at her own expense, it was strange that her face looked good.
However, in the eyes of the palace people, her ugly face meant that she had been neglected and ridiculed by the prince.
Xiao Changyin, who was still standing inside, looked at his fingertips and lowered his thick eyelashes, "Sweet."
…
Yun Zhao got bored several times, so he angrily gave up looking for trouble.
It happened that Xiao Changyin was going out for a few days and would not come back. Yun Zhao was very happy and went to the racecourse to pick up horses and run two laps during the day.
However, when she returned to the East Palace from the racecourse, she had to take a detour, otherwise she would meet those gorgeously dressed concubines.
Yun Zhao was afraid of trouble and did not want to have contact with them.
These concubines have been sealed for several days, but none of them have accepted their favor.
The emperor did not rest with any concubines at night, but slept directly in Guangming Palace. During the day, he would wander around with several concubines, but he did not stay overnight.
Although Concubine Zheng believed that she was the only one in the emperor's heart, these concubines were all punished because of what she shouldn't have done.
But when I walked out of the palace gate and saw this group of warblers, I still felt uncomfortable.
She originally wanted to borrow the Queen's help to rectify these concubines, but after asking around, she found out that the Queen had been ill for several days.
Concubine Zheng didn't want to make the emperor unhappy anymore, and seeing that the emperor only gave them positions and titles, without any real favor, she could only turn a blind eye and pretend that they didn't exist.
As for the queen's serious illness, she did say a few words to the emperor to show her kindness.
"The Queen is seriously ill, and it is time for Your Majesty to go and take a look."
"I guess..." Concubine Zheng quietly put her own thoughts into her words, "The queen probably knew that your majesty had sealed so many concubines at once, and she felt angry, so..."
She didn't finish her words, but her meaning was very clear.
It refers to the jealousy of the queen, and comes to highlight her generosity.
However, the emperor obviously did not notice this. He sat down with interest and asked, "Do you think the queen is seriously ill because I sealed those concubines?"
