Empress Fenghua

Chapter 183
For several days, Duan Huixian stayed in the kitchen with great interest and studied the dish of tofu with shallots and boiled cabbage.A pair of skillful hands have done it countless times, but every time she saw the flash of disappointment in Yongjia's eyes, Duan Huixian was very puzzled.

"Miss Duan, you've been in the kitchen for so long, take a break!" The cook persuaded with a smile, "Didn't you see the wrinkles on Aunt Li's face? Frequent exposure to oily fumes will make you old quickly! You still What about an unmarried little girl, I heard that she is a lady from a famous family, so hurry up and take good care of her! Don't wait until you are old and yellow, and you will be disgusted by others!"

Duan Huixian smiled slightly, "Aunt Li, I'll do it again after I stay for a while!" Duan Huixian coquettishly said to Cook Li, "Aunt Li, do you know the method of mixing tofu with boiled cabbage and shallot? I always feel that something is wrong with all the cooking?" Although Duan Huixian felt that what she made was already delicious, she knew that there must be something missing, and Yongjia would have such a momentary expression.

Chef Li stepped forward to take a sip of the tofu mixed with shallots, and another sip of the boiled cabbage soup, with a smile on her face, "Girl, Aunt Li has nothing to help you, it seems to me that you have already It’s good enough, I can’t compare to it! What’s worse?”

Duan Huixian shook her head lightly, "I'll do more research!"

Cook Li didn't say anything, she walked out of the kitchen with a smile, and happened to meet Qin Shu who was smiling, "Aunt Li!"

Cook Li nodded, "Hey! Mr. Qin is here!"

Qin Shu hurriedly said politely, "Aunt Li, didn't I tell you! Don't be a boss, just call me Qin Shu!"

"Okay, okay! I'll go there first!" Cook Li left with a smile.

Qin Shu looked at Duan Huixian, who was still thinking deeply, with a gleam of light in his eyes, "Miss Duan, why are you still here?" Qin Shu looked at the two dishes on the stove, and couldn't help complaining, "It's the shallots again. Mixed tofu and boiled cabbage?"

Duan Huixian smiled brightly, "Qin Shu, you came just in time, hurry up and eat these two dishes to avoid waste!"

Qin Shu frowned, smiled wryly, but didn't say anything, picked up the chopsticks and gorged, "Ms. Duan's cooking is really good! I've never eaten such delicious food before!"

"You really think so?" Duan Huixian looked at Qin Shu happily.

Qin Shu nodded, "How could Qin Shu lie to Ms. Duan? Qin Shu has been eating these two dishes every day for the past few days, and Ms. Duan's craftsmanship is improving every day. Qin Shu can feel it and taste it better. !"

Duan Huixian pursed her lips and smiled, with a hint of joy on her face, "That's great! After that, I will do it every day. Wouldn't it be nice if you came to eat after you didn't complete the training?"

A trace of excitement and joy appeared in Qin Shu's eyes, "Okay!"

Duan Huixian smiled brightly, her cheeks flushed...

At night, Yongjia's room was dimly lit by candlelight.Duan Huixian approached Yongjia's room with a lamp, and stood motionless outside the door, looking at the handsome silhouette reflected on the window, with indescribable anticipation in her heart.

That silhouette stood still on the window, occasionally turning the pages of the book, the outline of handsome cheeks was deeply engraved in Duan Huixian's heart.Duan Huixian smiled, took out a book in her arms, and gently rubbed the old cover with her fingertips, thinking of what Hua Zhong said to herself in front of the Zhen Guogong's mansion.

"Huixian, do you have any wish?" Hua Zhong looked into the distance, "Maybe there is something to look forward to?"

"Hui Xian, if one day your wish comes true, don't forget that you and I are standing together under the sun today!"

Hua Zhong's words often echoed in his ears. The book in front of him was handed to him by Hua Zhong at the time. Although it was not a critical moment, the current situation might help Yongjia with this book!Duan Huixian smiled lightly, "Thank you, Huazhong!"

"Who's outside?" Yongjia was very vigilant, and never let go of any disturbances outside!

Duan Huixian walked to the door and said softly, "It's me, my lord!"

"Miss Duan?" Yongjia couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, "Come in!"

Duan Huixian pushed open the door and walked in with candlelight, "My lord! It's late at night, why haven't you slept yet?"

Yongjia smiled slightly, "I'm fascinated by reading, so I read it for a while! I can't fall asleep anymore, you can chat with me for a while!"

"Yes!" Duan Huixian put the candle in her hand on the table, pulled out the hairpin on her head and picked out the wick, and a sparkle burst out with a bang. "It will take many days for the prince to study again, and it will hurt his eyes carefully!"

Yongjia nodded, "It's hard for you to be thoughtful, you have been in Xicheng Sanzhou for a while, do you miss home?"

Duan Huixian forced a smile, "It's a lie to say that you don't want to, but Huixian knows what you should do. On the contrary, it was the prince who learned about the Queen Mother Han at that time..." Duan Huixian knew that Yongjia didn't drop a drop when she just got the news of the Queen Mother Han's death. Tears, but silence for a long time, maybe that kind of sadness is more in-depth!

Yong Jia smiled impatiently, "People are going to die after all. The empress mother is honored as the empress, and it is not a relief to die in the end as the empress dowager. What's more, in the current situation, if you say something outrageous, the empress mother's life in Dongcheng Palace may be It's not easy either. She has done too many wrong things in her life, so that she died at the hands of Concubine Xian, and she can't complain. The cause of Empress Xianchun Xiao's death is not clear, but I know that she must have something to do with her mother! Even the death of Changfeng's son-in-law is also the responsibility that the queen mother cannot shirk."

Duan Huixian looked at the tears in Yongjia's eyes, "Is the prince missing Princess Xinyang? Princess Xinyang is alone in Dongcheng, and I don't know if she can survive."

A bleak smile appeared on the corner of Yongjia's mouth, thinking of Xinyang's stubborn and tenacious face, always with a cold beauty and resentment, but always like a lone eagle that can't fly because of self-indulgence. "Chen Xiang is smart and mature, and she will use her weight in Dongcheng to compete with Emperor Cong Jia, but... she was wronged in the end!"

How can you not be wronged?From the moment he was born, it was doomed to have a hopeless solution to love. Because of Han Jingzhi's intentions, although he forced himself to be born early, he always called his brother with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye. To commemorate Xu Changfeng's death in memory.That sentence, "There are countless flowers in the sea, flowing water and high mountains, the heart knows itself" deeply hurt her heart, but finally won back the brother-sister love!If you ask Yongjia, will you not regret it?Yongjia could only shake his head silently in his heart, where is there any regret?This ending was preordained long ago, and she had lost such an opportunity from the very beginning...

Duan Huixian smiled slightly, "My lord, I have a book here that may be useful to you!" Duan Huixian took out the book and handed it to Yongjia.

Yongjia glanced at Duan Huixian with doubts on his face, and glanced at the old pages of the book, but there was a light of incomparable excitement in his eyes.Yongjia stood up excitedly, "Where did you get this book? It's really wonderful! It's really wonderful! With such a strategy, why worry about not being able to win the battle and go east?"

"Is it really that wonderful?" Duan Huixian felt a little joy in her heart, but more of a deep sadness.It turned out that only Hua Zhong could bring him such excitement and joy.

Yong Jia nodded without hesitation, "Hui Xian, you are really my lucky star!"

Duan Huixian's body froze, and the seawater buzzed in her mind, "My lord, what did you call me?"

Yongjia was embarrassed and blushed even more against the candlelight, "Miss Duan, I was rude just now! But your book is really good, and Miss Duan really lives up to her reputation! Both civil and military, military tactics are outstanding! Whoever marries You are really lucky to have three lives!"

"Really? Is what the lord said true?" Duan Huixian looked at Yongjia expectantly, and a corner of her heart seemed to light up a lamp, jumping up for joy.

Yongjia nodded, "Yes! Ms. Duan's book is enough to be passed down to future generations and won a reputation through the ages. Ms. Duan is even better than Hua Mulan!"

Duan Huixian lowered her head shyly, with a flush of heat on her face, "As long as the prince likes it..."

"I like it! Of course I like it!" Yongjia flipped through the book with eyes full of excitement, his chest heaving and falling, full of ambition and pride! "It seems that I don't need to sleep tonight. How can I be in the mood to sleep after getting this heavenly book? I can't wait to read it all at once!"

Duan Huixian lowered her head and smiled, "In that case, Huixian is here to accompany the prince."

With a smile on the corner of Yongjia's mouth, he said awkwardly, "But, is it impolite? After all, Ms. Duan is a lady from a famous family. If a man and a widow live together in the same room, I'm afraid outsiders will make irresponsible remarks!"

Duan Huixian smiled relievedly, "My lord, you and I are both gentlemen, why should you care about other people's arguments? If Huixian was afraid, she wouldn't go all the way to join the lord!"

Yongjia nodded, "Since that's the case, you are not afraid of a girl, so what does this king have to be afraid of?"

Duan Huixian nodded, "But my lord, Huixian has a request."

"What? But it's okay to say!" Yongjia looked at Duan Huixian with bright eyes.

Duan Huixian couldn't help laughing, "Can the lord just call me Huixian like I did just now?"

Yongjia was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly found that the expectant look in Duan Huixian's eyes was full of tenderness, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.Yong Jia smiled to cover it up, "Okay! I will call you Hui Xian from now on!"

Duan Huixian nodded, poured a cup of hot tea and placed it beside Yongjia, took a book and sat aside and read it quietly.Yongjia looked at Duan Huixian and smiled slightly. It was so late at night, and he could not bear to miss him impatiently. Perhaps it would be good to have someone to accompany him!
