After remarrying with my mother, I walked across the capital by hugging my thigh

Chapter 473

When passing the corridor, a servant came in front of him.

He held a pottery plate in his hand, with a simple bowl of noodles on it, as well as spoons and chopsticks.

This is nothing, but the strange thing is that when the servant saw Lin Youyi, not only did he not salute and greet her, but he also hurried past her.

At first, when Lin Youyi saw someone walking towards her from a distance, although she didn't mean to, she inevitably paid more attention.

After all, isn't Mu Zheng not in the house?

Who is this bowl of noodles for?
In addition, the servant's reaction when he saw her made Lin Youyi more suspicious.

She slowed down, and turned her head to look in the direction the servant left.

"The servant who just passed by... looks very strange."

"If you go back to Miss Fourth, that's not from our family."

"No wonder! Then who is he giving the bowl of noodles to?"

"This... Miss Si, the prince's study is just ahead, please come here."

Such an answer made Lin Youyi's curiosity stronger.

Based on what she saw, what Lin Youyi could guess was that Mu Zheng hid someone in the mansion!

Moreover, he is also a mysterious and ulterior man!

Although Lin Youyi still had doubts in her heart, she took it for granted that that person must be related to what Mu Zheng was planning now.

If she didn't know, she would not destroy Mu Zheng's plan.

After putting down the sachet, Lin Youyi set off for the palace.

When I saw the empress dowager again this time, she was not as harsh as before.

However, the majesty of the empress dowager made Lin Youyi nervous, for fear of making mistakes.

Fortunately, the empress dowager is happy and quiet, and Lin Youyi doesn't need to say too much, she just needs to eat fast, chant Buddha, and pray for blessings with the empress dowager.

At dinner time, the empress dowager said she was tired, so she didn't eat.

Leaving Lin Youyi alone, she instantly felt a lot more relaxed.

Looking at the delicate dishes on the table, it was time for her stomach to growl.

Lin Youyi moved her index finger, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Seeing this, the maid serving the dishes was stunned.

Myolie hurried to smooth things over.

"It's fine for me to take care of small things like cloth, and I won't bother my sisters."

After the maids retreated, Lin Youyi breathed a sigh of relief again.

"Hey, the rules in the palace are strict, and you can't eat as you like! Fortunately, the empress dowager took a rest first, if not, I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat a full meal!"

Lin Youyi lowered her voice, winked at Xing'er and smiled.

Xing'er hurriedly turned around to close the door, frightened her little heart was beating non-stop.

"My lady, we are in the palace right now! Before entering the palace, Madam repeatedly asked you to be careful in your words and deeds! You must not say a few words, be careful that walls have ears!"

"Got it! Come on, sit down, let's eat together!"

Xing'er smiled and leaned forward, sat down and picked up the chopsticks, just about to eat.

Unexpectedly, Lin Youyi grabbed her wrist.

"Miss, do you want the slaves to eat?"

Xing'er was full of curiosity, when she looked at Lin Youyi, she found that she was frowning and staring at the chopsticks in her hand.

"Miss, what are you looking at?"

Lin Youyi didn't speak, and slowly let go of Xing'er's wrist, but stared blankly at the chopsticks in her own hand again.

"Miss……"

Xinger was full of concern, and gently called Lin Youyi twice.

However, Lin Youyi still didn't say a word, she just raised her hand and made a gesture to make her shut up.

Lin Youyi looked at the ivory-inlaid gold chopsticks in her hands, and some long-term memories gradually flooded her mind.

In the previous life, after she went blind, Xiao Yu'an had ordered troops to the Wa Kingdom to help them suppress the royal family's riots.

At the time of his triumphant return, the Emperor of Japan not only handed over the letter of submission to the emperor, but also tributes and concubines, and also prepared many gifts for Xiao Yu'an.

As soon as Xiao Yu'an came back, he ordered someone to send all those things to her.

Although Lin Youyi couldn't see, she found many things very novel.

After Xiao Yu'an came back, he introduced everything to her.

There was only one gift, Xiao Yuan was furious after seeing it, and ordered someone to break it and throw it out.

That is a pair of gold chopsticks wrapped in jade bones!

At that time, Lin Youyi was still puzzled.

She really can't figure it out, it's just a pair of chopsticks, and they are very valuable, and they have the kindness of being in pairs, why is Xiao Yu'an so annoyed like this?
Later, after Xiao Yu'an explained, Lin Youyi suddenly realized.

Our chopsticks have a round head and a square tail, corresponding to a round sky.

Standing up means standing upright, and eating food with a round head means that people regard food as the sky.

Chopsticks are seven inches and six cents long, which means that the seven emotions and six desires are in pairs, which means that yin and yang are opposite, the two are united, and harmony is the most important.

The Japanese chopsticks are different from ours. They have pointed ends and round tails, which are only for easier insertion or pricking when eating.

However, according to the rules of the ancestors, "inserting" and "tie" are sacrificial culture.

In other words, it was food for the dead!

Therefore, Xiao Yu'an's anger at that time was taken for granted.

It is also because of this that Lin Youyi still remembers this incident vividly.

Just when Lin Youyi was immersed in the memories of her previous life, a familiar figure quietly sat beside her.

At the same time, Xing'er exited the room without daring to breathe.

"Little girl, don't eat well, what do you think?"

"My lord? You... When did you come? I didn't realize it."

"Just sat down, did it scare you?"

Lin Youyi shook her head lightly.

"My lord, have you eaten yet? Would you like to have some together?"

"Alright."

Lin Youyi ordered Xing'er to bring another pair of bowls and chopsticks, and then started eating with Mu Zheng.

During the meal, neither of them spoke.

Mu Zheng would add soup to Lin Youyi's pickled vegetables from time to time, as if they were an ordinary couple.

It wasn't until Mu Zheng finished using the chopsticks that he slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand that he asked Lin Youyi seemingly unintentionally.

"Before you entered the palace today, you went to my palace?"

"Yes, I will send you the sachet along the way."

"Then you don't have anything to ask the king?"

Hearing Mu Zheng's question, Lin Youyi couldn't help being a little puzzled.

What should she ask?

The moment her eyes met Mu Zheng's, Lin Youyi immediately came to her senses.

"No! If the prince wants me to know, he will naturally tell me. If you don't tell me, then I don't need to know!"

"Hmph, you little girl is very generous! Seeing that you are worried about Xiao Yu'an's matter, when you come to this king, you will be like an old monk who has entered meditation, and you will ignore it!"
