These words sounded like coaxing a child, but after hearing Qi Nan's words, the corner of Jiujiu's mouth couldn't help but curl up. Her eyes instantly lit up like stars. The prawns that Qi Nan peeled were clearly spicy, but Jiujiu inexplicably felt that the prawns were a bit sweet.
After eating and drinking to their fill, Qi Nan had Hua An pack all the things that Jiujiu liked to eat and bring them back for Jiujiu as supper. After that, he brought Jiujiu back to the palace.
When Jiujiu and Qi Nan arrived at the study room, they saw the Emperor who was pacing back and forth in the study room.
Seeing that Qi Nan had returned, the Emperor's eyes instantly lit up. He quickly walked in front of Qi Nan and loudly said: "Beloved subject, you've finally returned."
Just as the Emperor's voice fell, he noticed that Jiujiu was following behind Qi Nan. He seemed to feel that he was a bit too excited. After lightly coughing, he added: "Zhen has something to talk to you about."
Qi Nan guessed that the Emperor had some government affairs that he didn't know how to deal with and specially came to look for him. After telling Jiujiu to return to the room and wait for him, Qi Nan walked to the study table and began to discuss important matters with the Emperor.
In the past, when the Emperor came, the tea was naturally prepared by Hua An. However, today, Hua An was ordered by Qi Nan to pack supper for Jiujiu. Therefore, the task of delivering tea naturally fell on Chun Hua.
When Chun Hua was working in the imperial kitchen, she had delivered pastries to countless imperial concubines. However, she had never delivered pastries to the Emperor.
Why? Because those palace maids in the imperial kitchen all wanted to deliver pastries to the Emperor.
If the Emperor took a fancy to them, then they would be able to fly to the branches and become a phoenix. Who wouldn't want such a good thing?
As for delivering pastries to the imperial concubines, it was her duty to deliver them quickly. If she was a bit slower, she was afraid that the meal would be wasted. Therefore, this job naturally fell on Chun Hua's head.
Chun Hua was someone who didn't have great ambitions. What she wanted the most was to save money and leave the palace. In this life, she had Jiujiu's help. Therefore, she naturally didn't have the chance to meet the Emperor. Therefore, this was Chun Hua's first time meeting the Emperor.
When Chun Hua saw His Majesty for the first time, she exclaimed in admiration. His Majesty was really handsome.
The Emperor was tall and slender, but because he spent a lot of energy doing carpentry all year round, his figure was very good. And because his temperament was good, his face was born from his heart, and his face was particularly gentle. At this moment, standing beside Qi Nan, the Emperor looked more like a refined scholar.
Moreover, because he was in a high position all year round, he had a noble aura that some people did not have, making people want to worship him.
Because she felt that the emperor was good looking, Chun Hua couldn't help but take a second look. However, it was only one look and the emperor looked back.
Just as Chun Hua was thinking of how to apologize to the emperor, she discovered that the emperor's face was slightly red.
It wasn't a faint red, but a red that was visible to the naked eye. Furthermore, it was the kind of red that even her ears and neck had turned red in an instant. Chun Hua was instantly stunned.
Chun Hua looked at Qi Nan helplessly.
Qi Nan also didn't expect that the emperor's face would turn red when he saw Chun Hua. After being stunned for a moment, she let Chun Hua leave.
Chun Hua quickly left. On the other hand, it was the emperor. After Chun Hua left for a long time, the emperor still hadn't come back to his senses. When he came back to his senses, he said to Qi Nan, "Beloved subject, your palace maid is really beautiful."
When she heard the emperor praise Chun Hua for being beautiful, the expression on Qi Nan's face instantly froze. She lowered her head and looked at the emperor. When she saw the blush and shyness on the emperor's face that had yet to fade, she suddenly had a feeling that the emperor was blind.
When he saw Jiujiu who was as beautiful as a flower, he didn't say that she was beautiful. When he saw Chun Hua who had an average appearance, he said that she was beautiful. If he wasn't blind, then what was he?
When the emperor saw that Qi Nan didn't agree with him, he endured it and couldn't help but say, "I don't know if beloved subject can part with her. I really hit it off with this palace maid. Can, can I keep her by my side to serve?"
It was very obvious that this sentence had exceeded the words that the emperor had said in the past. As soon as her voice fell, the emperor's cheeks flushed red.
Actually, as long as it wasn't Jiujiu, the emperor would give the others to the emperor. However, the emperor had never blushed when he saw so many beautiful imperial concubines. But when he saw Chun Hua, he actually blushed. It was really inconceivable.
Qi Nan tentatively said, "Chun Hua is clumsy. I'm afraid that she won't be able to serve the emperor. If the emperor lacks people, this servant will let Hua An find a few clever ones and send them over."
Hearing Qi Nan say that she wanted to send a few clever ones over, the emperor quickly shook his head, "I only want Chun Hua."
When the emperor was anxious, he didn't even say zhen and directly said the word 'me'.
After saying this, the emperor's face once again showed an infatuated expression, "Chun Hua, Qiu Yue, when will it be? Chun Hua, it's really a good name."
Only the heavens knew that Chun Hua's father and mother were illiterate. Chun Hua's original name was smelly girl. Chun Hua was given this name by the head eunuch because it was spring when she was sent in and the flowers just happened to bloom.
However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It was clearly such a vulgar name, but because the emperor felt that Chun Hua was good, he thought of a good poem to put on it.
Qi Nan used to think that the emperor was as otherworldly as her. But now that she saw the emperor's face turn red when he heard the name Chun Hua, she instantly knew that the emperor wasn't otherworldly. It was because the emperor didn't meet the right person.
Just like herself, before meeting Jiujiu, she also didn't know that she would be so infatuated with a woman.
These two days, Qi Nan liked Jiujiu. Towards the emperor who suddenly found that he liked someone, she was especially tolerant. Seeing that the emperor really liked Chun Hua, she thought for a bit and nodded to agree to the emperor's request to take Chun Hua away.
Seeing that Qi Nan had agreed to give Chun Hua to him, the Emperor was instantly overjoyed. Originally, he wanted to ask Qi Nan about some matters regarding the memorial, but he didn't ask and directly brought Chun Hua away with him.
When Chun Hua left, her hands and feet were the same.
The emperor brought Chun Hua to his bedroom and immediately had the head eunuch who took care of him take out many jewelry from the storeroom and placed them on the table. He pulled Chun Hua's hand and pointed at the jewelry as he asked: "Chun Hua, which one do you like? Take it."
Chun Hua originally liked refined and cultured men and the emperor happened to be the type that Chun Hua liked. Just now, when the emperor took her from Qi Nan's hands, Chun Hua's heart was beating very fast. Now that the emperor was holding her hand, Chun Hua's mind instantly became muddled. All the senses in her body were focused on her hand, so she didn't hear a single word that the emperor said.
Chun Hua could only feel that the emperor's hand was very big and warm. Furthermore, the emperor's hand was different from her hands that were full of calluses from working all year round. The emperor's hand was very soft and gentle, making her heart couldn't help but beat faster.
Although Chun Hua didn't answer him, the emperor didn't feel that Chun Hua was disobedient at all. Because he touched Chun Hua's hand, he happily had people send all the things to the side hall.
