When Si Jin returned to the palace, Murong Qi was waiting there.

Seeing Si Jin poking his head out, he didn't speak, but just looked at him quietly, neither happy nor unhappy.

Si Jin smiled lightly, and took out the food box in her hand: "You like the braised lion's head."

Murong Qi's expression softened a lot, he stretched out his hand to hold the food box in Si Jin's hand tightly, and said with a straight face: "Don't be so troublesome, there is no shortage of food and drink in the palace."

Si Jin knew Murong Qi's temperament, her expression did not change, she still smiled: "I know that there is no shortage of food and drink in the palace. When it comes to delicious food, when it comes to food and drink, the imperial dining room is naturally better. It's just that the imperial dining room is as good as it gets. It’s a bit old-fashioned, too particular about calmness, but generally speaking, it’s a bit flat.”

When mentioning the Imperial Dining Room, Murong Qi also said: "Is this the reason why you disturbed the Imperial Dining Room back then?"

Si Jin laughed, knowing that Murong Qi was talking about his barbecue in Qiwu Palace.

He reached out and took Murong Qi's hand, but he didn't get out of the car, and squatted halfway in front of the chariot: "Then, is Your Majesty happy that I bought a lion's head on purpose? If not, this lion's head..."

Murong Qi handed back the food box in his hand, let the little eunuch standing behind him carry it, and said confidently: "No one has ever dared to take back the things that are in my hands?"

Si Jin smiled and jumped out of the carriage: "It's as long as His Majesty is happy."

"Why do you want to buy a braised lion's head today?" Murong Qi also knew Si Jin's character, so it was impossible to buy a lion's head for no reason.

Si Jin didn't hide anything, and said directly: "Isn't this because you are afraid of making His Majesty angry when you come back late? So I bought a braised lion's head specially to make Your Majesty happy."

Murong Qi raised his eyebrows, then turned to ask the guards beside him: "What happened?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, it was King Zhong and King Lian who came to the Imperial Academy and chatted with Sir Si, which delayed the time. The subordinates saw that the two princes didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, so they didn't stop them." The guard explained in a low voice.

The main purpose of them being sent to Si Jin's side is to block those malicious people and avoid collisions. In fact, they have stopped many people before, and those people have lost their lives before Si Jin even saw them. Chance to be close to Si Jin.

But the people who came this time were King Zhong and King Lian, they were princes, they didn't dare to stop them at will, they could only watch from the sidelines for the time being, if there was no hindrance, it would be fine, if the two princes intended to do something, they could do it Rush up to deal with it at the first time.

"Loyal King and Lian Wang?" Murong Qi had a sullen face, many thoughts had already flashed in his mind.

Si Jin clenched his hand tightly: "Don't be angry, why are you angry, I'm back now, not even a single hair is missing."

Murong Qi's eyes were displeased: "The two of them are people who put their interests first, as long as the temptation is strong enough, they can do anything, don't be careless."

"I know." Si Jin nodded with a smile, not taking this matter to heart at all, "Hasn't Your Majesty already sent many people to protect the ministers, why is it so easy to have an accident? Let's go back to Weiyang Palace, and don't leave this braised stew again." The lion's head is going to be cold."

While Si Jin was talking, she directly dragged Murong Qi forward.

Murong Qi didn't speak, but just looked back at the person behind him.

These guards have been with Murong Qi for many years, knowing what Murong Qi is thinking, they immediately bowed their knees to express their understanding.

No matter what, they had to keep an eye on King Zhong and King Lian, otherwise if Si Jin got injured, all of them would be overwhelmed.

Back at Weiyang Palace, Ruyi had already prepared the food. Seeing the two of them coming back, she retreated directly to the back, bowed her head and said nothing.

Murong Qi is not particularly clear about Si Jin's food preferences, and he also knows that the food on the table is a few kinds of food that used to be common in Concubine Hong's place, so he couldn't help but glance at Ruyi.

Sensing Murong Qi's surprise, Si Jin smiled and said, "I asked Ruyi to prepare food according to Concubine Hong's preferences."

"If you like it, you can mention it before, and the imperial dining room dare not disobey your order." Murong Qi said in a low voice, regretting that he had neglected Si Jin's diet before.

"I don't really like it, it's just that I suddenly became interested, and Ruyi is familiar with these things, so I can't make mistakes. If I really want to eat, I will naturally not be polite to the imperial dining room." Si Jin said, smiling and charging Watching Murong Qi blink.

The implication is clear.

After all, when Concubine Hong was still there, the Imperial Dining Room was disturbed, and now he is more "favored" in the palace than Concubine Hong, if he really wants to eat something, Definitely don't push yourself.

Murong Qi smiled, and knew that Si Jin was not someone who would wrong him.

"Next time I'll ask the Imperial Dining Room to prepare more delicacies, with a wider variety. You can pick and choose which ones you like, and let the Imperial Dining Room cook them often."

"Okay."

Si Jin smiled.

Ruyi stood in the distance, looking up at the two people who were talking and laughing.

From her position, she couldn't hear what the two of them said clearly, but just seeing the way they looked at each other and smiled, she knew that what they said must be something happy.

She looked down.

Is it true that the newcomer is better than the old one?

Now that the emperor has Mrs. Si, he has forgotten the former Hongfei empress.

If the empress is still here... I don't know how I will feel?

……

Zhongwangfu.

"My lord, my subordinates have made a clear investigation. The emperor has indeed transferred the maid Ruyi, who was serving by Concubine Hong's side, to Si Jin's side to serve Si Jin's daily food and drink."

"Are you available?" Murong Li frowned.

"Back to the lord, my subordinates found out that after Concubine Hong passed away 12 years ago, this Ruyi seemed to have a lot of resentment towards the emperor. She invited herself to live in the cold palace for 12 years. It was not until these few days that she was called out by the emperor to serve the secretary. Jin."

"What a loyal servant." Murong Li narrowed his eyes, many thoughts flashed through his mind, and he still had doubts, "there are so many court ladies and eunuchs in the palace, anyone can serve Si Jin, why did the emperor call Ru Yi out?"

"This... this subordinate doesn't know, maybe it's because she still misses Concubine Hong?"

"Heh, if he really misses Si Jin, how can he favor Si Jin?" Murong Li sneered, but he felt that what the other party said made sense in his heart. Maybe it was missing, or maybe it was something else. What he saw was that Murong Qi really Called out Concubine Hong's loyal servant.

His fingers landed on the table, he bent his knuckles and tapped lightly, again and again.

He was thinking about how he could use Ruyi for his own use, even if he didn't need it, he would use Ruyi's hand to embarrass Murong Qi.

"Go, find out what Hongfei likes, buy a big box for everything, and try to put it in the cold palace."

"Yes, my lord."

"Borrow Eighth Brother to deliver it." Murong Li's eyes were full of evil.

In any case, the prince selected this time must not be Murong Xi's son.

"My subordinate understands."

King Ren's Mansion.

"Father, do you really want to adopt me?" Prince Ren's son arrived in the capital early.

"What do you think?" Murong Lin asked his son's opinion.

Prince Ren frowned: "Father, if I were the uncle of the emperor, I would never choose the son of the prince's mansion as the crown prince. The emperor is still young and healthy. There are many capable people in the Imperial Academy. Now there is another one who is known as the "Heavenly Prince." It is not difficult for Master Si Jinsi, who is the proud son of the emperor, to train a qualified heir to the throne, but choosing a son will be very detrimental to the emperor's uncle."

"Children can be taught." Murong Lin nodded, agreeing with his son's statement.

Since that incident happened 12 years ago, he has been ordering people to strictly train his sons, and the most outstanding among them is naturally the eldest son who already has the position of the eldest son.

For him, the incident that happened to him is not just the incident 12 years ago, but also the incident that caused him to break his arm 22 years ago.

Even after he was convinced that the incident he discovered 22 years ago must have something to do with Murong Qi, in retrospect he still felt that Murong Qi's mansion was quite deep, which was chilling.

He claims to be smart, but he can't compare to Murong Qi.

Therefore, when raising his son, he has always asked the gentlemen in the mansion to focus on cultivating his son's overall view instead of focusing on immediate interests. Only by looking far can he survive well.

What Murong Xi said in the court hall earlier seemed to make sense at first glance, but if you think about it carefully later, you will find that his words are completely untenable.

It's just that Murong Qi's order had already been issued at that time, you are not joking, it is not something they can go back on if they want to go back on it.

"Father, what shall we do next?" Prince Ren heaved a sigh of relief when he understood Murong Lin, and asked about the next plan.

"This matter has nothing to do with you and me," Murong Lin could see Murong Xi and Murong Li's careful thinking, and smiled, "The emperor's temper is nothing more direct, as long as we don't offend his Ni Lin, we will be safe and sound, for the time being Take one step at a time, and there will be people who can’t bear it before us.”

"Father is wise."

Weiyang Palace.

"Cough-cough-"

"Uncomfortable?" Murong Qi frowned.

"It's probably because I'm in a hurry to eat. Your Majesty doesn't need to be so nervous." Si Jin said with a smile, picked up the cup beside her and took a big sip of water to suppress the itchiness in her throat.

"Should I ask the imperial doctor to take a look?" Murong Qi was still nervous about Si Jin's body.

"No need," Si Jin pressed the man who was nervous for no reason on the chair, "Didn't the imperial doctor diagnose it not long ago? He said that my health is very good and there is no problem at all. I just feel a little anxious to eat right now. Coughing twice, going to the imperial doctor because of such a trivial matter, isn't it a joke?"

Seeing that Murong Qi still seemed a little uneasy, Si Jin continued: "Besides, if the imperial doctor comes, he will definitely ask what's wrong. What should I say? I'm too embarrassed to tell the real reason."

Murong Qi looked at Si Jin seriously: "If there is any discomfort in your body, you must tell the imperial doctor."

"I know, I know," Si Jin nodded, and looked at Murong Qi with a smile, "After all these years, His Majesty has not only become clingy, but why has he become verbose, why worry about such a trivial matter? Isn’t it okay to fall into the water a few times?”

Murong Qi's body eased up, and he knew in his heart that Si Jin's body was no longer as weak as Concubine Hong's was before, he just couldn't help worrying.

It always felt like something was going to happen.

However, looking at Si Jin's appearance, it really doesn't look like something will happen.

At least not physically.

It is true that the imperial doctor had just checked Si Jin's pulse not long ago, and found that Si Jin was in good health without any problems.
