"The concubine thanked the emperor on behalf of Concubine Shu."

Concubine Rui's goal was achieved, and the emperor finally carried three or four women to the harem. A few concubines whispered: "I think the emperor will be buried on these women sooner or later."

"Shut up and die?"

The emperor is gone, Jiang Huimin will continue to host, but Xia Qing can slip away early.

She ran to Jiang Huimin's palace, and it was still long on New Year's Eve, so she asked the small kitchen to help her prepare ingredients, cooked cat ear cakes, and made a few home-cooked dishes, waiting for Jiang Huimin to come back.

For her, all the prosperity in the palace is imaginary.When Jiang Huimin comes back, eat with her, that will be the real New Year's Eve dinner.

Chapter 11

It was already late when Jiang Huimin came back, Xia Qing leaned on the bed in a daze, and heard something coming in from outside, Jiang Huimin put his hand into her neck, and asked with a smile: "I haven't slept so late, are you waiting for me?" ?"

"Yes." Xia Qing replied generously, wrapping his hands around the other's graceful waist, "Why did my sister come back so late?"

"It took some time for people to prepare the dowry for Qi and the princess." She turned her head and saw the food on the table, "Why, didn't you eat enough at the banquet?"

"It's all greasy, and I can't eat it." Xia Qing brought the dishes on the table, "I made these when I came back. I don't think my sister eats much, so let the small kitchen heat them up." , eat some."

Xia Qing didn't expect Jiang Huimin to come back so late, the small kitchen moved very quickly, and the hot food was quickly brought to the table. Xia Qing asked Jiang Huimin with a smile while serving dishes: "How is my cooking?"

"Well, I didn't expect your craft to be so good."

"My mother taught me this when I was a child." Xia Qing said, holding a fish with chopsticks for Jiang Huimin.

"You were born into such a wealthy family, yet you have learned this kind of skill." Jiang Huimin was a little surprised. She thought it was a skill that Xia Qing was forced to master after his family collapsed.

"My mother said that people should be kind to themselves, and what they do is the most suitable for their own taste. No matter how good others do, they can't fully satisfy themselves."

"That's not true. I'm very satisfied with what you did." Jiang Huimin looked at her with a smile, and Xia Qing blushed.

"Where is my sister's house? I've never heard it mentioned by my sister?" Xia Qing suddenly remembered and asked casually.

"Me." Jiang Huimin showed a wry smile for the first time, "I suffered from famine when I was a child, and was sold to the capital many times. Later, by chance, I entered the palace and became a palace maid. Later, I came to this position little by little."

Xia Qing felt a little sad when she heard that, she suddenly regretted asking this, and it made Jiang Huimin feel sad, and she also felt uncomfortable.

However, Jiang Huimin seemed to see her thoughts, and comforted her instead: "It's okay, if I hadn't come to the capital in those years, I wouldn't have known you."

She picked up a piece of cat ear biscuit and said casually: "I am very familiar with this taste."

Xia Qing was puzzled, and looked at her dumbly: "Has my sister eaten too?"

Jiang Huimin stared at the girl in front of her for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

She had gentle eyes and said softly: "I was sold to the capital that year. Because of the famine, the traffickers didn't give us children anything to eat. Several of us starved to death along the way, and those who were alive went to carve them up. Later, I thought I myself was about to starve to death, and about to be eaten by those hungry people, I saw a little girl, and she took a crunchy pancake and fed it to my mouth."

Xia Qing just looked at Jiang Huimin like that, listening to every word she said in disbelief.She vaguely remembered what happened back then.

There were many victims who fled from other places that year. She only remembered that her mother told her that people should be kind, so she often brought some food to help those who were dying of hunger.

The beautiful face in front of her eyes coincided with the memory of more than ten years ago. After going through the suffering and twists and turns of the past ten years, that person is sitting in front of her now, looking at her with a smile.

"My sister is so much prettier than before, I can't even recognize her." Xia Qing choked up.

"You were young at the time, so of course you can't remember these clearly." Jiang Huimin stroked her forehead with her hand, "I didn't see your name on the list of the Xia family's confiscation back then, you don't know how happy I am, I found you After so many years, when I saw you again, I didn't dare to recognize you casually."

"If it weren't for today, I would never have imagined it. In the past ten years, too many changes have happened."

Jiang Huimin held her in his arms: "At least, we won't be separated again in the future."

Xia Qing was lying in this warm embrace. Back then when Xia's family was ransacked and she fled to the south, it had been a long time since she had such an embrace that allowed her to lie in it with such peace of mind.

"Actually, there is another person who has been looking for you." Jiang Huimin said suddenly.

"Who else?" Xia Qing couldn't imagine who else would miss her.

"It's the Ninth Prince."

Xia Qing was silent for a while when he heard that when something happened in his family, the Ninth Prince was the only one who defended her father. He was young and energetic back then, and the emperor didn't want to bear the charge of killing his younger brother, so he sent him to the frontier directly.

"How did my sister know he was looking for me?"

"Although he was dispatched to the frontier, he had to go back to the palace to worship his ancestors during the New Year's Eve. When we came back, we met before and mentioned you many times." Jiang Huimin said.

Seeing that Xia Qing didn't speak much, Jiang Huimin thought she had misunderstood, and explained: "You don't have to worry too much, he has already married, and the princess has a very good relationship with him. I was thinking that he may have other reasons for looking for you, for example, Some evidence from that year."

Xia Qing sighed, "I didn't think much about it, but I suddenly remembered that when something happened in my family, he was the one who advocated my father's innocence. Since then, the emperor has been vigilant against this younger brother. After all, the Xia family owes him everything."

"You are wrong. The emperor has been afraid of this younger brother for a day or two. Now he is holding back and has not done anything. It is nothing more than looking at the face of the empress dowager who passed away."

The Ninth Prince was born to the emperor and his mother, but the Ninth Prince was the youngest, and the Empress Dowager liked this youngest son very much during her lifetime.

"My sister just said that he will come back for the New Year's Eve, so he must return to the palace this year."

"Well, in fact, he is at the family banquet today, but he didn't sit with the concubine. Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. The emperor will go to the Taimiao to sacrifice, and he will go there too."

For royal sacrifices, apart from the emperor and several princes, Jiang Huimin, as the head of the first palace, must also go.But Xia Qing is a noble person, so she doesn't have her share.

After thinking about it, Xia Qing said, "I want to go out and meet her tomorrow."

Jiang Huimin frowned, "Are you sure you want to take such a big risk? If it is found that you left the palace privately and were still with the prince, then a few lives are not enough to pay for it." Obviously she did not agree with Xia Qing.

"But this matter involves my family affairs, I must go to see him and ask some things clearly."

After all, Jiang Huimin still couldn't resist Xia Qing's stubbornness, "Okay," she said, "you can make up as a little maid next to me tomorrow morning, and sneak out of the city together, but remember, don't show any lies."

"I understand." Xia Qing said.

The next day, Jiang Huimin did not take Lianyue out, but brought a strange court lady.

There were many women in the palace, but no one cared that there was a strange face beside her. Xia Qing followed Jiang Huimin all the way into the Taimiao smoothly.

The emperor and Jiang Huimin walked in the front, Xia Qing followed closely behind, looking at the crowd behind her, there was someone she wanted to see there.

"What little hooves, I don't understand any rules." An elderly aunt in charge of the Taimiao came over, saw Xia Qing looking around, and cursed in a low voice: "Are there any rules? This is also a place where you can look around?"
