19. Stealing
After a long time of busyness, the first batch of persimmons was finally picked and filled with many baskets. No matter what valuable things were, as long as they were from the palace, they always had to give them to the master to try them out. The officials of the imperial kitchen specially selected persimmons with thin skin and thick flesh and excellent appearance, and arranged exquisite fruit plates in front of the palace's list.
Because it is the intention of the imperial kitchen, if the palaces ask for it themselves, they will not show sincerity. The imperial kitchen has to send a small eunuch to him one by one. This is better than picking persimmons. If you can catch up with a generous and justified master, rewards will be indispensable.
The little eunuchs who were favored by all the officials had good jobs, but there was no one left in the Chenyun Palace. Although everyone in the palace could guess that Concubine Feng could not be so depressed. Chenyun Palace would still be favored in the future, but no one was willing to go to trouble at this gate. Whether it was the superior or Concubine Feng blamed him, it was not a good thing. In the end, the only one in Chief Liu was left without arrangement. He happened to see Liuyu on the side and thought for a moment, but it was still not good to offend him too much now. When he was still planning to assign a small eunuch under his opponent, Liuyu stood up, bowed, and asked, "What's the problem with you? The servant is idle and can run errands for you."
Chief Liu cried out and thought that he couldn't blame himself, so he said, "You can send these plates of persimmons to Queen Feng from Chenyun Palace."
The Liuyu lowered his head and replied, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.
After returning to Taiqing Palace, Jing Yan and Qiao Yu ate the persimmons he brought back. Persimmons were cold in nature. Qiao Yu had a bad spleen and stomach since he was a child, so he should feel uncomfortable if he ate too much. Jing Yan did not allow him to eat too much, so he just asked him to taste two of them and put them away. But Qiao Yu was a little greedy and couldn't help it. While Jing Yan was reading the scriptures in the house in the afternoon, he sneaked into the cool place where the persimmons were secretly eaten.
Jing Yan realized something was wrong. Qiao Yu was always very clingy and even if there was nothing to do, she would pester Jing Yan and talk to him, but now she couldn't see anyone. Jing Yan raised her eyebrows, put the book in her hand, and looked outside.
Sure enough, Qiao Yu was found in the place where the persimmons were hidden.
He was still a little clever when doing bad things. After eating one, he threw the peel away, then stretched his head and looked around, and then started to eat the next one. Perhaps because he was alert for so long, he had not been discovered, so Qiao Yu ate it with confidence.
Qiao Yu was spoiled and raised. She has never been short of food and drink since she was a child. However, since she came to Taiqing Palace, even desserts were secretly stuffed with desserts. It is rare to eat a bite of fresh persimmons. He is a child's temperament, so it is not a mistake to eat some glutton.
Jing Yan stood quietly not far away and looked at him for a while. Seeing that he had eaten two or three, he still kept resting. Finally, he covered Qiao Yu's mouth and burped a little, and turned his face suddenly before he saw Jing Yan's figure.
Qiao Yu quickly kicked the peel behind her like a bell, stood up suddenly, not daring to look up again.
Some, no, a lot of fear.
Jing Yan walked a few steps closer, half squatted down, and looked straight with Qiao Yu. His pupils were deep and dark, and half covered by his drooping eyelids. Qiao Yu, a little fool, could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
When you get close, you can smell the sweet persimmon fragrance on Qiao Yu's body.
Just as sweet as Qiao Yu.
Jing Yan asked softly: "Are persimmons delicious? I blame me for not letting you eat them?"
He whispered softly when he said this, which was no different from usual, but Qiao Yu could tell that the prince was indeed angry.
Qiao Yu shrank to the side, looking very pitiful, and she rarely made a serious assurance to Jing Yan, "Your Highness, don't be angry, you are all greedy, I'm greedy, and I will never steal it again in the future."
Because of his excessive nervousness, he licked his thumb, which was sweet, and then couldn't help but lick it a few more times. It seemed that he realized that his behavior was wrong and his sins were unforgivable. Qiao Yu quickly pressed his fingers and shook his head like a rattle. "The persimmons are not delicious, they are not delicious at all. Don't be angry, just scold me."
He has always been good at doing naughty things, like this at home and in the East Palace, and is spoiled to the point of lawlessness. But he knew that neither his grandmother nor the prince would really get angry. If they were really angry, Qiao Yu would want to shrink into a ball, not afraid of being scolded, and hoped to forgive himself.
Jing Yan looked at his appearance and had no choice but to do anything to him, and was so angry that he laughed. However, he covered half of his face with his wide sleeves, and Qiao Yu lowered his head and admitted his mistake, without seeing the expression on his face at all.
Jing Yan hasn't spoken for a long time.
Qiao Yu felt that time was hard to endure and became more and more nervous. He leaned forward as if he was dead, closed his eyes tightly, his nose was red from the cold, and his face was full of fearless expression, "If you scold, it's okay, you can just pop my forehead, pull my nose, and pinch my face."
Speaking of this, his voice still trembled violently, "I, I'm not afraid of pain! Don't be angry, don't be angry, how sad it is."
In this world, what he didn't want the most was to make the prince sad.
Jing Yan smiled and said, "What are you doing to beat you? Can you make me better? If you cry, will I have to coax you and find something for yourself?"
Qiao Yu still didn't dare to open his eyes, and he said softly: "Then aren't you angry with me? You can't do anything else, you're angry."
Jing Yan sorted out the tilted head for him, and found that the corner of Qiao Yu's clothes was torn again at some point, revealing the layers of linings inside, all of which were gray.
Taifujian has always been too slow to treat Taiqing Palace, and the number of cases has always been delayed. Until now, even the clothes and carbon fire for winter are not sent. Qiao Yu is afraid of the cold, but he does not complain to Jing Yan. He knows that complaining is useless, but instead makes his prince unhappy. He wraps up several sets of autumn clothes on his body and then puts on his coat, and he has gained more than a circle of weight.
Qiao Yu is an extremely cute child.
Jing Yan wiped the dust on his wrist and was not angry with him. He slowly deceived Qiao Yu and said, "It's not that you are not angry. You just lied to me and did not agree to what I said. Why don't we make an agreement now that you are not allowed to cry from today to tomorrow, otherwise I will be even more angry if I lied to me again."
When Qiao Yu heard this, her ears seemed to be standing up. She hurriedly grabbed Jing Yan's sleeve and asked, "Is that true? As long as you don't cry?"
He has grown up now and no longer shed tears like he did when he was a child. He will not cry unless there are really sad or sad things. Qiao Yu thought in his heart that he had not cried for a long time.
Jing Yan smiled slightly and nodded.
Qiao Yu agreed happily, thinking that she would be able to complete it, that the prince would not be angry anymore, and became happy as usual.
Jing Yan's phoenix eyes were half open and half closed, and he calmly looked at Qiao Yu's jumping back, thinking about what had just happened and the agreement.
Isn’t this the case for teaching disobedient children?
You have to teach a lesson to remember.
