Chapter 309 The Legend of Zhen Huan Original Female Lead 93
That afternoon, Yinzhen came to Yongshou Palace as usual to accompany Chuhua. Chuhua was leaning on the imperial concubine couch, flipping through the book in her hand in boredom.
The sunlight shone through the carved window lattices onto her fair face, casting a faint halo on it, making her features more picturesque and charming.
"Huan'er, what book are you reading now?" Yinzhen walked over to her and sat down, asking gently.
Chu Huan closed the book and gave him a coquettish look.
"It's all those poems and songs. I'm tired of reading them."
Yinzhen scratched her nose lovingly: "What do you want to do? I will accompany you."
"I want to eat candied haws..." Chu Hua looked at him eagerly.
"It's sweet and sour, it must be very appetizing."
Yinzhen frowned slightly. Although it was already spring, the weather was still very cold. What was there to eat with candied haws?
He was about to open his mouth to refuse, but he saw the light in Chu Hua's eyes gradually dim, and her little mouth pouted in grievance.
"Your Majesty, is unwilling?" There was a hint of loss in Chu Hua's voice.
"I..." Yinzhen looked at her pitiful appearance and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Forget it, it's just some candied haws. As long as she is happy, she can eat anything.
"Su Peisheng," Yinzhen called.
"Go, ask the imperial kitchen to make it. Remember, it must be the freshest."
"Hey!" Su Peisheng took the order and left, but he was secretly groaning in his heart. Where could he find fresh candied haws in such a cold winter?
Not long after, Su Peisheng came back with an exquisite box. When Yinzhen opened it, he was shocked. There was no candied haws in the box, but candied fruits and preserved fruits.
Su Peisheng explained carefully: "Your Majesty, now is not the season for hawthorns to mature. I really can't find fresh candied haws, so I can only order people to make some with candied fruits and preserved fruits. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Yinzhen shook his head helplessly. Su Peisheng was sometimes extremely smart, but sometimes very stupid.
"Take it away..." Yinzhen waved his hands and was thinking about how to explain to Chu Huan, but he saw her picking up a "candied haws" and putting it into her mouth with great interest, her face full of surprise.
"Hmm, delicious! Sour and sweet, really delicious!" Chu Hua praised while eating.
Yinzhen looked at her innocent appearance, a warm feeling welled up in his heart, and an indulgent smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Forget it, as long as she is happy, what does it matter whether it is true or false?
When Yinzhen saw Chuhuan eating with relish, he became even more certain of his love for her.
He reached out and gently wiped away the sugar crumbs left at the corners of her mouth, and said lovingly, "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."
Chu Hua smiled sweetly at him, picked up another "candied haws" and handed it to his mouth: "Your Majesty, try it too, it's really delicious!"
Yinzhen looked at the strange candied fruit in front of him and wanted to refuse it, but he couldn't bear to disappoint her, so he lowered his head slightly and put the "candied haws" in his mouth.
The sweet and sour taste spread in his mouth, but Yinzhen felt that it tasted not bad.
"Is it delicious?" Chu Hua blinked and looked at him expectantly.
"Yeah, it's delicious." Yinzhen nodded with a smile, but in his heart he was amused by her innocent look.
This girl is really easy to coax.
It was late at night, but the lights in Yongshou Palace were still on. Chu Hua tossed and turned, kicking the quilt into a mess, but she still couldn't fall asleep.
"Huan'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Yinzhen was awakened by her tossing and turning. He quickly sat up and hugged her in his arms, his tone full of worry.
Chu Huan gently shook her head, put her hand on her bulging belly, and frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, I can't sleep..."
"Are the two little ones in your belly making a fuss again?" Yinzhen hugged her tighter with heartache, and gently placed his big hands on her belly, feeling the weak yet strong fetal movement.
"Hmm..." There was a hint of grievance in Chu Hua's voice.
"They have been getting more and more unruly recently. My waist aches badly and my legs are always cramping..."
Yinzhen looked at her cute and innocent appearance, feeling both distressed and amused. This girl, who was usually sharp-tongued, was even more spoiled now that she was pregnant.
"It's all my fault. I made you suffer." Yinzhen comforted her softly and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
"Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of affairs, and he still has to worry about me and my child. It's my fault for always making you worry..." Chu Hua's eyes were slightly red. Emotions during pregnancy always came inexplicably, and she couldn't control them.
"Silly girl, you are my wife, my queen. It is my duty to take care of you and the children." Yinzhen gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. I'll call the imperial doctors over and have them take a look at you."
“No…” Chu Huan grabbed his hand and looked at him pitifully, “I just can’t sleep. I don’t want to drink those bitter medicine soups anymore…”
"Then what do you want?" Yinzhen coaxed her patiently, as if he was coaxing a grumpy child.
Chu Hua bit her lower lip, her eyes rolling around, as if she was thinking of something evil.
"Your Majesty, please tell me a story..." Chu Huan suddenly raised her head, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes.
Yinzhen was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect her to make such a request. He was the king of a country, but he had to tell stories to his concubine to put her to sleep?
"What? The emperor doesn't want to?" Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chu Huan immediately put on an aggrieved expression.
"I..." Yinzhen was about to refuse, but was defeated by her pitiful appearance.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you a story. What do you want to hear?" Yinzhen shook his head helplessly. He really had no idea what to do with her.
"Well... let's tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood!" Chu Hua said it without thinking, completely forgetting that this was ancient times.
"The story of Little Red Riding Hood?" Yinzhen repeated the unfamiliar name, his brows slightly furrowed. It was obvious that this story was unheard of for him.
Chu Hua then realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and smiled awkwardly: "Well... that is, once upon a time, there was a little girl..."
She had an idea and began to make up an "ancient version" of the Little Red Riding Hood story.
The Little Red Riding Hood in the story became a "Little Green Coat", the Big Bad Wolf became a "White Tiger with Eyes", and the hunter became a "passing knight" with great martial arts skills. As she spoke, she secretly observed Yinzhen's reaction.
Unexpectedly, Yinzhen listened very carefully, with a light of interest flashing in his deep eyes. He occasionally asked some questions, such as "Why did the white tiger lie?" and "How strong is the martial arts of the knight?" Chuhua racked her brains to answer him and made up all kinds of fantastic plots.
