Although no one paid attention to him, Chu Xiangtian spontaneously followed him to the table and sat down. Fu Tian sat next to the empress dowager, and Chu Xiangtian sat down next to him.

The exquisite dishes were served one by one. In addition to the dishes that had been prepared before, the empress dowager was worried that Fu Tian would not be used to eating them, so she ordered the imperial chef to make southern dishes.

The palace servants were serving the meals, but Chu Xiangtian was always impatient with others serving him, so he waved him away, and personally served the soup, put a bowl in front of the empress dowager, and then served another bowl in front of Fu Tian.

The Queen Mother gently stirred it in the soup bowl with a spoon, and raised her eyebrows slightly as she watched Chu Xiangtian's movements, "This is the first time that you have drunk the soup you have personally served in more than 20 years."

She glanced at her youngest son in a faint way and said in a complicated mood: "I finally feel sorry for someone."

Chu Xiangtian was as thick-skinned as a city wall. Hearing this, he agreed very much: "Of course his wife needs to care for him."

Fu Tian blushed and secretly kicked him under the table.

The Queen Mother choked by him and said angrily: "No shame or impatience!"

Chu Xiangtian didn't care and picked up another piece of fish for Fu Tian.

They were eating, and the sound of the palace servants saluting came from outside. Chu Fengyuan walked in with his hands behind his back and saw the three people eating with a smile and said, "My mother doesn't call her husband when she eats."

The Empress Dowager looked at him with a angrily look. She had clearly agreed to let her meet someone today and see her next time, so as not to scare her. As a result, he couldn't help but be curious and ran over by himself.

Fu Tian, ​​who had already relaxed, had indeed tense his body again and stood up nervously to salute.

Chu Fengyuan looked at him with interest, his eyes were gentle and he could not feel sharp at all, but Fu Tian felt that he was being looked at.

"Is Youling still used to living in the royal palace?" Chu Fengyuan said to care.

Fu Tian nodded cautiously, "Habit."

Chu Fengyuan said lightly, sat down on the right hand of the empress dowager, and smiled and asked him to sit down, "This is a family dinner, there is no need to be restrained, I am not scary, right?"

Fu Tian sat down and shook his head hesitantly.

The two brothers look very similar. They sit together, and their eyebrows are eighty-similar, but Chu Fengyuan's temperament is more gentle and gives people a good feeling of talking when she smiles. Chu Xiangtian is used to being rough and wild. In addition, he has a vicious aura between his eyebrows and eyes, which most people dare not get close to.

But I don’t know if I have become accustomed to someone’s aura, but Fu Tian felt that Chu Xiangtian was more close to others. Although the emperor was smiling, Fu Tian subconsciously tightened his nerves.

But these can only be thought about in my heart, and on the surface, they have to accept the emperor's.

Chu Fengyuan looked at his completely inconsistent expression with the answer, but did not expose it. He smiled and looked at his dark-faced brother, and asked as if nothing had happened: "Feng Zhang was in a bad mood? Is the food not good?"

Chu Xiangtian narrowed his eyes, and faced him with a deliberate smile, grinding his teeth and enduring it.

Chu Fengyuan was very talkative and did not show the emperor's dignity. From time to time, he gave Chu Xiangtian an interesting story when he was a child, as if he was just an ordinary brother who cared about his younger brother. He quickly eliminated Fu Tian's nervousness and defense.

Relaxing his tense spine, Fu Tian widened his eyes, and his lips raised unconsciously, looking at Chu Xiangtian with his face sideways, "Are you so stupid when you were a child?"

Chu Xiangtian grinded his teeth and put a piece of glutinous rice ribs for him in a bowl, "Don't listen to him nonsense."

Fu Tian said "Oh" and turned around and gnawed the ribs in the bowl. His eyes were still bent. He knew that he had not listened to Chu Xiangtian's words at first glance.

After lunch, the Queen Mother took Fu Tian to hear about Mr. Storytelling. It was too cold outside in this winter, so it was hard to pass the time outside, so she had to think about fresh things in the house.

The Empress Dowager has been idle these days, so she often goes to Yuzhang Pavilion to listen to books. The story tells that Mr. Shu is a woman in her thirties, wearing a gray robe and dressing up in men's clothes. She comes to salute first before returning to the stage, and continues the last time she talks.

"Mr. Chen is good at speaking skills and is the best gentleman in Qingyang City's storytelling." The Empress Dowager said to Fu Tian.

Fu Tian rarely listens to people's stories, and he becomes interested when he hears it. Both old and young sit together, both of them are very excited.

Chu Xiangtian, who was sitting next to him: "..."

Mr. Chen’s method of telling books is unique. She talks about traditional operas and the stories above are all familiar stories among the people of the Great Chu. However, when she tells them, they are ups and downs and full of emotions. A person can make dozens of different sounds, which can motivate emotions very much.

This time it was a tragedy. After the speech, the queen mother pinched the handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes. Fu Tian thoughtfully poured her a cup of hot tea. The queen mother picked up the teacup and looked at him. Seeing that his eyes were also a little red, she couldn't help but smile, "Mr. Chen is always in the palace. Next time you enter the palace, come and listen to what the back is."

Fu Tian nodded. He seemed to like listening to books, and he did not force himself to agree with the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was happier. Her two sons occasionally accompanied her, and she looked bored. The Queen was filial and often came to accompany her, but she liked the new story more. The Queen Mother couldn't tell her one thing, and often saw it alone but no one talked about it.

Fu Tian just happened to make up for this shortage.

When Chu Xiangtian heard this, he immediately felt a bell in his heart and reminded him tactfully: "Mother, Youling is a man after all, so it is not easy to enter the palace often."

The empress dowager saw through his little thoughts at a glance and said unhappily: "Youling is not old, and there are no other concubines in this harem except the queen. I will call him to accompany me. Who dares to say what?"

"After all, you don't want to enter the palace, right?" She said, covering her face and feeling sad. "Neither of you is willing to accompany me. Now, Youling finally doesn't bother me to nag, do you want to stop me?"

When Fu Tian heard this, he felt distressed, glared at Chu Xiangtian, and hurriedly said, "As long as the empress dowager does not bother to be humble ministers, you can summon ministers to the palace at any time."

The empress dowager paused and smiled, and gently patted Fu Tian’s back of her hand, "What a good boy."

Chu Xiangtian: "..."

The two stayed in the palace for dinner before leaving the palace. The empress dowager wanted to keep Fu Tian staying for a while, but Chu Xiangtian said that he had already arrived in Qingyang and had to deal with many things, so he brought the person back.

After they left, the Empress Dowager said to Madam Wang: "You go to Changle Palace and say that the Ai family has something to do with the emperor."

Madam Wang took the order and left. After a while, Chu Fengyuan came over in the imperial chariot. Seeing that there was only the Empress Dowager in Changyang Palace, Daran smiled and said, "Feng Zhang took the person back?"

The Queen Mother snorted, "I'm afraid I will force myself to stay, and I will protect my food very much."

Chu Fengyuan smiled, "It's rare that he met someone he likes."

This could not alleviate the Queen Mother's dissatisfaction with her youngest son, but when she remembered the purpose of calling the emperor, she still talked about the serious matter, "Youling, you have seen him, you are a good child..."

She thought carefully: "He was born into a businessman and first arrived in Qingyang. He was named a marquis because of Feng Zhang's face. The nobles of the nobles in Qingyang City didn't know how to arrange them. Since Feng Zhang recognized him, the Ai family should do their best to support him."

The emperor obviously knew the situation that Fu Tian would face in the future, and nodded in agreement, "I let Deqing do it."

The Queen Mother was relieved and showed a satisfied smile.

Chu Fengyuan smiled and said, "It seems that the queen of mother does like him." Otherwise, she wouldn't have called him to explain in person.

The smile on the empress dowager's face faded and she sighed: "Feng Zhang finally met a good person. The Ai family can't watch those people's gossip and destroy their feelings."

Fu Tian had just arrived in Qingyang, and I wonder how unpleasant the rumors were when some people were idle and arranged. The Queen Mother didn't want them to be so worried about it. It would be better to cut off the source of the rumors from the beginning.

With the support of the empress dowager and the emperor, who dares to say anything?

*******

After leaving the Songhe Palace, the two of them walked side by side on the long palace corridor. Fu Tian was completely relieved of the uneasiness he had when entering the palace, and even his steps were much easier.

Chu Xiangtian looked calm and saw that he ignored him at all. He couldn't help but reach out to pinch the back of his neck and press the person onto the corridor, "So happy? Isn't you afraid now?"

Fu Tian twisted his body and wanted to break free, but he was firmly clamped by him and had to say, "The emperor and the empress dowager are both very good."

"The emperor is good, too? Where is the best?" Chu Xiangtian narrowed his eyes dangerously, lowered his voice and asked, "Then do you think I am better or him?"

Fu Tian was shocked by his unreasonable accusation, and then explained: "I just think the emperor is not as majestic as the rumor..."

Chu Xiangtian was almost overwhelmed by jealousy, and he rubbed his sensitive earlobes as if nothing had happened. "The emperor has been using this trick since he was a child. You should not talk to him in the future, otherwise you won't know if you are sold."

Fu Tian felt that he was jealous again and said "Oh" dryly.

"And the mother's queen..." Chu Xiangtian said again: "So many juniors are rushing to serve the queen mother, how could they not even have someone to accompany you to listen to the book? Don't be deceived by her..."

Fu Tian swallowed and raised his hand to poke his cheek, "Do you want to eat the Queen Mother's jealousy?"

Chu Xiangtian was silent for a while and said, "This is not called jealous."

Fu Tian: "…oh." Is that right?

Chu Xiangtian, who had nothing to say, could only use his actions to make him shut up and press the person behind the corridor column and kiss him fiercely for a while.

When the two of them walked out from behind the pillars, their lips were a little red, especially Fu Tian's lower lip was still broken - Chu Xiangtian bit too hard and accidentally bit it.

The sedan chair waited at the gate of Changyang Palace for a long time before seeing the two of them slowly coming out. Fu Tian raised his sleeves and sat down with half of his face, then reached out and touched his lips, and sniffed hissing, which hurt a little.

I was so angry that I wrote a note to someone in my heart.

The second day after returning from the palace, Wei Yang sent a message to the door and invited King Yu and Hou Kang Le to the Spring Festival banquet.

The Spring Festival Banquet is a regular banquet for noble children every year. It can be attended by those over ten years old. It is mainly used to get to know each other. The banquet is usually held in March, and each family's children are the host. This time it is the Wei family's turn.

Wei Yang had a good relationship with King Yu, so the Wei family simply handed over the errands to him.

After accepting the reply, Fu Tian promised to go. This was his first step to officially enter Qingyang, and he would not refuse.

When he went, Chu Xiangtian naturally wanted to accompany him. When the other families heard that the two of them were going, they were also worried that they were not going to go.

This year's Spring Festival Banquet may be the most crowded banquets in the past years.
