Chapter 14 Birthday wishes
Although he had an idea, he still needed a reason to send Shen Yanchuan into the harem naturally.In the process of finding this excuse, the little emperor felt the difficulty of this operation.
Now that it is confirmed that Shen Yanchuan was a candidate for the secret guard, the fastest way to know everything about him is to ask the secret guard.
However, the little emperor couldn't do it.
Theoretically speaking, the hidden guards are directly subordinate to him, and all information should be reported to him, but he has always been a hands-off shopkeeper, and the queen mother is fully responsible for all matters, so things like selecting the dark guards and dispatching missions are all done. It's about the Queen Mother.
In the past, if he wanted to take over the secret guard again, the Queen Mother would be very happy, but recently the two of them had a quarrel over the pro-government matter, and the Queen Mother is at a time when she is bright and ruthless, and it is estimated that she will not easily return the power; And once it is handed over, it might not be easy to get rid of it in the future. I heard that the training fee for the hidden guard is also a lot. If you show him another account, it will undoubtedly speed up his return to the west-he doesn't want it!
In the end, after going around and going around, he really complied with what Xiao Fuzi said - he had to get close to Shen Yanchuan.
So, when Shen Yanchuan came to announce the end of the itinerary at night, the little emperor suddenly blinked and kept the other party back: "Hey, today ended early, shall we chat?"
Shen Yanchuan glanced at him: "Why do you suddenly want to chat?"
Faced with the obvious suspicion in the other party's eyes, the little emperor bit the bullet and continued to smile and chat awkwardly: "We are now husband and wife after all, isn't it natural to chat to enhance our relationship?"
Shen Yanchuan lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then walked back and sat down again: "Then what does the emperor want to talk about?"
The little emperor rubbed his hands, and began to run around in the carriage in his head to find a topic: "Hmm... this... my harem, I usually reward people when they come in, but this is the first time I have a man, so I don't have much experience... umm "Uh... do you want anything?"
Shen Yanchuan tilted his head slightly, and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze: "Why does the emperor look so nervous?"
"How can there be?" The little emperor was afraid of being seen through, so he immediately sat upright, "Can you chat, now I want to give you a reward, if you don't want it, I won't give it."
Sure enough, Shen Yanchuan didn't ask any more questions, and after serious thinking for a while, he said: "The concubine's birthday will be in a few days, and the concubine wants to leave the palace for half a day."
"Oh—" the little emperor replied with a sigh and three sighs, thinking that this is a good opportunity!
"It's okay to go home for your birthday. I'll send you a pass order. You go out in the morning and come back in the afternoon..."
The little emperor was chattering, but Shen Yanchuan interrupted: "The concubine has no family, no relatives and friends."
When he spoke, he was very calm, as if he was explaining the affairs of other people's family, but the little emperor's heart was tugged, and his mood was a bit complicated.
No wonder Xiao Fuzi has been running around for so many days without getting anything.
When looking for traces of people, we usually start from his network of relationships. It is easy to find a "knot" along the "network"; but if a person has no relatives and friends, then he becomes a lonely star. Even if he is very bright, it must be very difficult to find.
"Then... are you going to relax for half a day?" the little emperor asked softly.
"I don't know." Shen Yanchuan frowned his beautiful long eyebrows, as if he was also worried, "Maybe go shopping and eat something delicious."
Under the influence of both compassion and selfishness, the little emperor's mouth finally spit out such a sentence——
"Why don't you just stay in the palace, I will hold a birthday party for you, and I will introduce you to some sisters in the harem?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Shen Yanchuan's eyes: "Birthday banquet?"
The little emperor nodded: "Yes, yes, what do you want to eat, I will ask the imperial chef to make it for you."
Shen Yanchuan's expression suddenly changed from lazy and indifferent to serious: "This concubine can do whatever she wants to eat?"
"Of course, I'm the emperor." The corner of the little emperor's lips curled up, a little proud, but at the same time he thought—so it's so easy to impress him!If I knew it earlier, I would use gourmet tactics. Everyone is friendly, isn’t it great!
Then he heard Shen Yanchuan say: "The concubine wants to eat snail noodles, can I have a whole banquet of snail noodles?"
The little emperor's smile instantly froze on his face.
Snail powder?Still full!feast!
Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Yanchuan showed a look of understanding, and at the same time returned to the previous indifferent look: "If the emperor is embarrassing, let's forget it."
The little emperor didn't forget his original purpose, but bribery was useless now, because he remembered the scene of Shen Yanchuan waking him up that morning with a stinky pouch.
The little emperor clenched his fists in the sleeves of his robe: "...Don't be embarrassed, after all, it's a birthday once a year, so let's arrange it like this."
Shen Yanchuan seemed somewhat flattered: "Is that so? The concubine still has a few small requests regarding snail noodles."
The little emperor endured a mouthful of blood brewing in his chest, and said in a trembling voice: "Please speak."
"The sour bamboo shoots should be soaked in mountain spring water and pickled big-headed sweet bamboo shoots; the noodles should be round noodles made of aged rice, which should be dry and elastic; a little red oil can be eaten without sore throat; the bean curd sticks should be soaked in soup. Scattered, the kind that tastes chewy; stone snails need to deal with the fishy smell, as well as fungus, peanuts, and capers..."
The little emperor's face slowly turned pale in his description.
For the last meal, let you eat something good.Let my heart be completely hardened, you forced me.
After the two of them finished chatting and Shen Yanchuan went to bed in the side hall, the little emperor immediately called Xiao Fuzi over.
"Hurry up and send a word to the harem that Concubine Yan will hold a birthday banquet in the harem soon, and tell them to prepare quickly, and then find more opportunities to have some private contact, and I will catch you on the spot!" The little emperor finally said angrily. After a call, I added a sentence at the end, "There is no need to say so much about Qiuluyuan, just notify the time of the next birthday banquet."
Xiao Fuzi let out an "ah", turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait, wait, come back." The little emperor grabbed Xiao Fuzi's sleeve, "Let Qiuluyuan prepare more incense powder and the like, and make the veil thicker. As for us, you will send someone tomorrow." Prepare more small jujubes for stuffing your nose, try to avoid Shen Yanchuan, and find some reliable people to do this."
After giving so many orders, the little emperor finally let Xiao Fuzi go, and he collapsed on the bed with the word "big", feeling a kind of exhaustion that he had never felt in his life.
But he couldn't sleep.
As soon as Shen Yanchuan described snail noodles with an elegant and melodious voice, many white round noodles, red peanuts, green beans, and yellow bean curd sticks floated in front of his eyes, each of which exuded endless black air of terror.
The little emperor stared at the nothingness in the pitch black with wide eyes, completely insomnia
