Chapter 11 The Emperor has been childless for ten years (11)
  Longevity noodles are actually not that strange to Chu Jin. After all, he has eaten longevity noodles made in the small kitchen before on birthdays.

But now that he has ascended the throne, every birthday party is held in a big way, and the feeling from before can no longer be found. Now when I see this steaming longevity noodles again, I suddenly feel nostalgic.

Food is checked with a silver needle before it is served. This is a rule and no one can avoid it. It's just that it wasn't poison last time, so I didn't check it out.

At this moment, two people were sitting on chairs, eating hot longevity noodles, and the atmosphere was very warm.

"I don't know what you like, but since it's your birthday, you must have a birthday gift." Chu Jin was about to use his chopsticks, but suddenly remembered something, took something out of his waistband and handed it over.

Zhihua didn't know why, so he reached out and took it. It was a chubby little goldfish. It's only about the size of the palm of your hand, but it's very delicately carved and very substantial.

"I can't stop you from wanting to leave the palace, but life outside the palace is difficult. With this, you can have more capital to settle down and live." He is not an emperor who is ignorant of the sufferings of the world, but he really doesn't know what gifts to give, so he just gives them A useful and practical one.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I like it very much."

Hearing a hint of choking in her voice, Chu Jin looked up in confusion, but saw a bit of mist in her eyes. The moved and tearful look really made him laugh.

"It's just a little goldfish, you can't do this, right?" This is actually considered shabby, but the other party is just a palace maid. If he gives the gift in a big way, it may arouse other people's thoughts.

Zhihua held the little goldfish in his hands, his eyes filled with joy, "I haven't had a birthday for a long time, maybe I haven't received a birthday gift for a long time. In the past, it was my brother who gave birthday gifts, and my father and mother always said they would provide me with gifts in the future. Yes, but..."

But in the end she entered the palace, and after such a long time, she had not seen the shadow of her parents, let alone any gifts.

"I remember that you ladies-in-waiting have a wedding day, right? Even if you can't leave the palace, they can still come and visit. Haven't they brought you anything after all these years?"

She shook her head, with a hint of bitterness at the corner of her mouth, "I haven't seen my father and mother for a long time, and I have almost forgotten what they look like. Sometimes I also wonder, have they forgotten me?"

He was in tears and looked so pitiful.

Chu Jin was cursing in her heart. This silly girl thought that the two people treated her sincerely, but in fact they had forgotten her long ago.

"Why are you crying? Don't you still have two years before you can go out? Today is your birthday. Don't let me think about the things you have and don't have. Don't cry. You have to laugh."

Without his usual solemnity, his gentle and considerate appearance makes people want to fall in love.

"The emperor is right, today is my birthday, I shouldn't cry." Zhihua wiped his tears, and then smiled: "This is the longevity noodles I made myself, but the craftsmanship may not be good, and the taste may not be as good as the chef's. Well done. Your Majesty, please give it a try."

"Okay, let me try it." He picked up one end of the noodles with his chopsticks and took a bite.

The noodles vary in thickness, so the texture in your mouth is different, but the taste is still pretty good.

"You do have talent in this area, you're already pretty good."

"Really? Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." She smiled so much that she almost turned into a flower.

There was a peaceful atmosphere in the palace, and the relationship between the two of them did not look like the relationship between a superior and a subordinate, but rather like a couple in an ordinary common people's family. The tranquil picture gives people a sense of calmness and love. In a place in the palace, in a corner of Xinzheku, two people stood together, not knowing what they were talking about.

"That Zhihua is a scheming person. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been able to come to Xinzheku from Yangxin Hall. I see her peaceful and contented on weekdays, but I never thought she was such a wealthy person."

Qiaoyu's face was a little distorted. The long hours of washing clothes and the inhuman treatment made her whole face look a bit older. The hands were white and wrinkled from being soaked in water for a long time, making them look ugly.

She spared no room to smear Zhihua, and what came out of her mouth portrayed a woman who looked like a pretty girl but was actually full of calculations. Regardless of whether the other party believed it or not, she said so anyway.

"Originally, I could have left the palace when I was old, but it was because of her that I had to go through this before I left the palace." Qiaoyu's teeth itched with hatred. Who knew that after playing a clever trick, this would be the ending. If she had known this was the case, she wouldn't have been so clever.

The woman standing next to her was wearing a black curtain and her face could not be seen, but from her voice and figure, she could tell that she was a woman, not a eunuch or a man.

The woman deliberately lowered her voice, "Besides, are there no other women approaching the Emperor?"

"Yes, but he was killed by the emperor with a stick. But this Zhihua is quite capable. You see she is living well now. I just don't know why, but the emperor didn't make her a concubine after so long. It seems like that's all. .”

Qiaoyu sneered. Thinking of what happened that day, she couldn't help but think that if someone wanted to target Zhihua one day, she would be the sharpest knife for him.

"I know, take your things and shut your mouth." The woman took out a money bag from her arms and threw it over.

There was a crisp collision sound from the money bag, and there should be a lot of money in it.

"Thank you for the reward, your Majesty. I will definitely not say anything nonsense." Qiaoyu was overjoyed.

Silver is a good thing everywhere, but since arriving in Xinzheku, she has not had enough to eat or clothing to keep warm all day long. With this money, she can buy some good things.

The woman left, and because she kept the curtain with her, it was not clear who she belonged to.

Zhihua didn't know all this. She just did her job peacefully and didn't leave the palace often, so there was no way for others to catch her.

It's just that she can't stay in the Nourishing Heart Hall forever. Sometimes after staying in one place for a long time, she will want to go somewhere else.

She didn't go far, she even went to the Imperial Garden. The flowers were in full bloom at this time of the year. Even if they couldn't be picked, it was still a feast for the eyes. I have been staying in the palace, and I have missed the scenery outside.

At the same time, she also had other thoughts, but she didn't know if this strategy would work.

But isn’t everything in this palace based on gambling?

She tried her best to avoid those noble people, and when she saw someone in the distance, she immediately turned around and left. He didn't show up until those noble people left.

But people always fail.
