Chapter 20 Have a meal together

Lan Shiqing kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic, "Wei Chen swears to God, do wei Chen really not know what is going on? If what Wei Chen said is untrue, God will strike with thunder, and no matter how the emperor punishes me, I will be willing to do so."

The emperor looked at Lan Shiqing's face and made sure that he was not lying. Then he calmed down his anger and softened his attitude when talking to him.

After all, what has happened is irreversible.

The emperor knew very well that he would still need the Tutor's Mansion to help him get rid of Huo Weilou in the future, so on the surface he spared Lan Shiqing, but in fact it gave him room to secure the throne in the future.

So the emperor ordered Eunuch Hao, the chief eunuch, to describe the matter reported by the governor Zhang Shaofu to Taifu Lan Shiqing and ask him to go back and verify it strictly.

There was such a big mistake in the matter. In the eyes of the emperor, even if he was not guilty, he was still guilty. However, he was not convicted in the end. Taifu Lan Shiqing was so grateful that he burst into tears. After thanking him again and again, he returned to Taifu's house.

It's getting dark, in the main courtyard of the Regent's Palace.

Shen Xinyue did something big today and was in a very good mood.

At this time, she was lying on the bed, eating fruit, crossing her legs, humming a little tune, and admiring the super luxurious three-in-one bed she was lying on.

In modern society, Shen Xinyue had seen ancient wooden beds, but they were ordinary Luohan beds. The one she was lying on now had never been seen before.

This kind of bed is called a three-entry bed. There are pedals on the edge of the bed and two round doors on the outside. There are also armchairs on both sides between the first round door and the bed.

The entire bed, except for the bed box below, is made of hollow carvings. The craftsmanship is quite exquisite and complex, and it is polished very smoothly.

A bed like this, due to the difficulty of making it and the very strict requirements for wood, is probably only available to the families of officials and the super rich.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's good to have money and power, but the cost of food and clothing is beyond the imagination of ordinary people..." Shen Xinyue couldn't help but sigh.

With a "squeak" sound, the door was pushed open.

Huo Weilou is back.

Shen Xinyue sat up awkwardly, still holding uneaten fruit in her mouth, and said vaguely to Huo Wei: "Hey, brother, can you knock on the door before you come in? Do you understand how polite it is? Do you understand?"

This sudden door pushed in, almost frightening her soul out. Fortunately, she had whispered to herself just now in a low voice, otherwise Huo Weilou might have heard her and might have suspected her again.

"I'm in my own house, in my own yard, going back to my own bedroom, why do I have to knock on the door?" Huo Weilou asked confidently.

Shen Xinyue just held the fruit in her mouth, looking at Huo Weilou with her two big, watery eyes, and she didn't know how to answer him for a moment.

Yes, what they said is correct.

This is someone else’s palace, someone else’s yard, someone else’s bedroom, why?

"Because I live here now."

No, you must not be questioned by him. Shen Xinyue took the fruit from her mouth and answered confidently.

"So what if you're here?"

Huo Weilou completely ignored Shen Xinyue's momentum. Instead of exiting the bedroom, he closed the door, strode over, and sat down on the bed, next to Shen Xinyue.

Shen Xinyue moved her head back quickly, "You, you, you, what are you doing?"

Huo Weilou did not answer, but stretched out a hand gently towards Shen Xinyue's face.

Shen Xinyue's mind went blank for a moment, and she just watched helplessly as Huo Weilou stretched out his hand to wipe away the stains on her face when she ate fruit. His movements were extremely gentle.

Ugh, so embarrassing.

Shen Xinyue felt her face was a little warm, and she immediately moved to the armchair next to the bed and sat down. It wasn't that she didn't want to be further away, because at this moment Shen Xinyue found that her heart was beating a little too hard. My legs also seem a little soft.

Damn, what's going on?

Is it really true that the thief has a guilty conscience?

Shen Xinyue asked herself a little unsurely.

"It seems that you had a very good day today. Did something good happen? Or did you do something bad that you should be happy about?"

Huo Weilou asked Shen Xinyue while staring at the various foods placed on the other armchair beside the bed.

"Good thing? What good thing? How can there be any good thing? This girl will not do anything bad."

Shen Xinyue obviously lacked confidence, "It's just that I am too busy in this house, so I just found some food. What? I feel bad for eating something from you?"

"What are you talking about? You can eat whatever you want in the house."

Huo Weilou immediately said seriously, but then he changed his tone and continued: "However, you are not an ordinary commoner. You in the south of the Yangtze River are rich in products, which are much more than those in the capital. Your mother's family is also a wealthy family, and the royal family belongs to the palace." These things should be nothing in your eyes, right?"

Let me go, what kind of ears are these! Are they in the year of a dog?!

Shen Xinyue thought to herself that she had just muttered in a low voice, but she didn't expect that Huo Weilou, who had not yet entered the door at that time, actually heard it.

But she didn't want to be frightened by Huo Weilou, so she sarcastically said to him: "I didn't expect that as a regent, his conduct would be so bad. She knew there was someone in the house, but she didn't say anything after hearing what he said, and even opened the door. If you don’t knock, just break in, tsk tsk tsk...”

Huo Weilou found that it was a kind of fun to quarrel with the woman in front of him. Anyway, he still had the evidence of her eavesdropping twice, so he said: "It seems that we still need to discuss the truth..."

But Shen Xinyue didn't give him this chance. She knew that she was irrational about something, so she stood up and walked out. As she walked, she didn't forget to retort, "What are you talking about from a grown man's family?" !I'm hungry. I'm going to ask Si Qi about today's meal..."

As a result, before he finished speaking, as soon as the door opened, he met Si Qi and several servants who were waiting outside the door with food boxes, and the next words became, "Si Qi, what, what, what is this? "

Si Qi said with a smile: "Miss Shen, the prince said that he and the girl would have a meal together today, and specially ordered the dining room to cook more delicious meals, so it was a little late today. This has just been prepared and delivered to the girl. My son must be very hungry."

So Si Qi waved to the servants behind him, and they filed into the house one by one, opened the food boxes one by one and placed them on the table, then withdrew and closed the door.

The whole process was so smooth that Shen Xinyue didn't even react.

Until Huo Weilou sat down at the table and looked at her like she was a fool, "What? You don't want to eat?"

"Eat, eat, of course, why not?"

Shen Xinyue was already hungry and sat down unceremoniously.

You must know that since this morning, she and Si Qi ran very fast for dozens of miles to the "Lanyuan Restaurant" in order not to be left behind by Huo Weilou.

I originally wanted to reserve the private room next to them, order some food, and eavesdrop while eating. Unexpectedly, the store owner said that both sides of the private room had been reserved by the same customer, and no one else could pay any price. no.

Shen Xinyue had no choice but to drink a pot of tea with Si Qi at another table, then sneaked in and listened attentively for a long time.

Later, he chased the governor Zhang Shaofu non-stop and pretended to give him some advice. After they left, he and Siqi hurriedly returned to the Regent's Palace in the capital, in order not to let Huo Weilou discover any clues.

It’s like drinking a pot of tea for a whole day!

After riding a horse for a day, Shen Xinyue's body was covered with dust. After Shen Xinyue came back, she first asked someone to take a hot bath. However, it was still not time for dinner. How could she not look for something to eat?

But not long after eating, Huo Weilou came back.

After this battle of wits and courage, Shen Xinyue already felt that her heart was in front of her and her heart was in rear.

Looking at the large table of rich delicacies in front of her, Shen Xinyue's mood instantly became beautiful, and she started eating by herself without saying a word.

Although ancient cooking techniques are simply not comparable to modern ones.

But I couldn't stand it. Shen Xinyue hadn't had a good meal since time traveling.

After enjoying the meal, Shen Xinyue remembered that there seemed to be someone sitting next to her...

"Didn't you say we would have a meal together?" Shen Xinyue wiped her mouth and glanced at Huo Weilou's chopsticks innocently, which was obviously untouched.

"I'm full." Huo Weilou twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Huh? Didn't you say we wanted to eat together? When you came back from a full meal outside, you asked us to eat together?" Shen Xinyue looked at Huo Weilou suspiciously.

"I just ate with you." Huo Weilou continued calmly.

Shen Xinyue is going crazy. Is this asking her to guess charades?

Is it a test of her IQ?

Or is it that she traveled to a different world and Huo Weilou ate the food on the table through his divine power without her knowing?

Suddenly, Huo Weilou put an elbow on the table, supported his angular face with his slender hands, and said with a smile on his face, his voice was extremely gentle: "I mean, it's beautiful and delicious."

Shen Xinyue was glad that she had had enough wine and food at this moment, otherwise she would have either scolded Huo Weilou for being a dick, or she would have scolded him for being a dick.

"Brother, are you trying to seduce me?" Shen Xinyue calmed down. Solving the stomach problem was equivalent to solving the brain problem. She could not be led away by Huo Weilou like before.

Sure enough, this time it was Huo Weilou's turn to not be calm, and there was dissatisfaction in his tone, "A girl speaks like this..."

"So what? So indiscreet?"

Shen Xinyue looked at Huo Weilou with a arrogant expression. Humph, you know that people in ancient times couldn't stand such words. This is a piece of cake in modern times. Seeing his deflated look, Shen Xinyue was very happy. satisfy.

Who knew that Huo Weilou seemed not to care anymore and slightly twitched the corners of his lips, "It's okay to say it to me like this." After all, he was no longer an outsider.

Shen Xinyue was a little speechless. This situation was so uncertain that it was really hard to figure out.

"By the way, you talked about your dowry last time." Huo Weilou decided to stop teasing her and get down to business first.

"Yeah~" Shen Xinyue also listened attentively.

"Your natal family did give you a house in the capital. It's not far from the palace, but it's not very big. Your maids and mother-in-law are not many, and they also stayed in the house. If you think this is If there are people who are not good with their hands, I can send someone to pick them up." Huo Weilou said.

"Oh, that's not necessary. Si Qi and I get along very well. Let's just let them stay in the house for now. After all, we need people to clean and take care of them there."

Shen Xinyue knew that the temperaments of the original owner and hers must be very different. If the original owner's maid came over, she would inevitably not find out over time, and her life would be too difficult.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
