The Delicate Beauty In the Hegemony Essay - Chapter 50

    Chu Ling, Zhao Liu and others were taken to the yamen to play the board. King Mu looked at the carriage coldly and left with the guards.

    Shu Ning couldn’t see, until Uncle Li told her that King Mu was gone, Shu Ning resumed his normal heartbeat rhythm.

    Back home, Shu Ning told his family about meeting King Mu.

    Du Shi suddenly faced a great enemy: “He is a prince, not staying in the capital, what is he doing in Yangzhou?”

    Sir Song frowned and said to his wife, “Don’t worry, I’ll find someone to inquire tomorrow.”

    The next day, I was really inquired by Master Song. The news came from a man from a school who was close to Zhao Zhifu. It is said that King Mu was very unaccustomed to living in the capital. He fell ill every two days in three days, and the imperial physician could not cure it. It was speculated that it might be caused by the unaccustomed conditions. King Mu went into the palace to see the emperor and asked the emperor to allow him to come to Yangzhou for a short stay. Take care of your body and go back to Beijing.

    The old emperor saw that his son had lost a lot of weight. Although he was an illegitimate child, he was also a blood relative. The old emperor agreed to King Mu’s request.

    The more Master Song listened, the more wrong he became. Why did King Mu’s reason for returning to Yangzhou resemble the nonsense he made up?

    The only difference is that their family lives for a long time, while His Royal Highness King Mu lives for a short time.

    Sir Song returned to the mansion in the evening and shared the news with his wife and children.

    Shunning:…

    This step of King Mu is too different from the original plot, right? Isn’t he dissatisfied with the contempt of other grandsons and nobles, and secretly swore in his heart that he must sit on the dragon chair and trample all those who despise him? Didn’t he recruit troops and buy horses for this purpose and put in all kinds of efforts. When Chu Ling entered the capital to test for the champion, King Mu had already become a popular seed player to inherit the crown prince, and his status was higher than that of King Duan, whom Chu Ling would support in the future?

    Okay, why did you run back to Yangzhou? Going back and forth for a few months, how many major things have to be delayed!

    The only variable is her.

    Thinking of this, Shu Ning suddenly felt uneasy. Could it be that King Mu repented and wanted to deal with her and the Song family?

    Du Shi also thought of this.

    Sir Song shook his head and said, “No, if the lord wants to take revenge, as the commander of the Jinyiwei, he can weave a crime on our heads and bring our family back to the capital for interrogation. Why do you have to run all the way here?” Speaking of which, Master Song looked at his daughter: “Ningning, did you see the prince yesterday? How is his spirit?”

    Maybe His Royal Highness King Mu is really sick?

    Shu Ning didn’t see too clearly, and when he met King Mu’s sharp eyes, he shrank back, but he can ride a horse, so what can happen to his body?

    However, Mr. Song’s analysis is correct. King Mu should not be here to deal with the Song family. There may be other strategic arrangements. After all, the original work only describes the history of Chu Ling in detail. King Mu was already in a high position when he appeared. , without mentioning how he changed step by step from the least favored illegitimate prince to the dark horse prince.

     Figured this out, Shu Ning and Lord Song reached a consensus, that is, when King Mu was in Yangzhou, the Song family must keep a low profile and keep a low profile.

    In order to reduce the probability of encountering King Mu, Shu Ning left for the shop earlier in the morning, and returned as late as possible in the evening.

    She also worried that King Mu would be attracted by the reputation of “golden fried chicken” and come here to eat fried chicken. Fortunately, King Mu does not seem to be interested in fried chicken.

    Unexpectedly, before Shu Ning could relax for a few days, a very familiar figure stepped into the shop.

    Shu Ning forced a smile: “Did my father-in-law come to me to reminisce?”

    Xiaoluzi shook his head, hugged the dust and explained: “The lord heard that the girl’s golden fried chicken is very delicious, and specially invited the girl to go to the palace to cook the food.”

    Shun Ning didn’t want to go, so she shied away from doing it herself for a long time. In order to let Wang Ye taste the most authentic golden fried chicken, she recommended a chef in the store to go there on her behalf.

      If the food is not delicious, it will ruin the prince’s interest, and being scolded is a trivial matter, for fear of ruining the reputation of the shop.”

    Shu Ning heard Xiaoluzi’s threat, and she was indeed afraid of this, for fear that she would implicate the cook in the store.

    “The father-in-law wait, I’m ready.”

    Xiaoluzi understands very well, although Miss Song is naturally beautiful and attractive, but when you go to see the prince, you should dress up properly.

    Xiao Luzi thought so, but saw that Miss Song did not go back to the room, but went to the kitchen. When she came out, she had a white cloth apron embroidered with the word “Song” on her head. He wore a white hat he had never seen before, and clasped all the bangs inside the hat, revealing a white, tender and unpretentious face.

    Then, Miss Song also asked someone to pick up a chicken coop, in which lay two meaty hens.

    “Let’s go.”

    After getting ready, Shu Ning carried the chicken coop and said to the small road.

    Xiao Luzi gave her a complicated look and turned to lead the way.

     King Mu’s carriage has been parked on the street in front of the shop for a while, attracting many diners to watch, all speculating about the relationship between His Royal Highness King Mu and his ex-fiancee Song Girl. When Miss Song dressed up as a cook and came out with a chicken coop, and stepped into the carriage with a calm expression, everyone understood that His Royal Highness King Mu also likes to eat Miss Song’s fried chicken!

    King Mu wants to live in Yangzhou, in the palace in Yangzhou city.

    After arriving at the palace, Shu Ning went directly to the kitchen, killing chickens and plucking feathers in one go, no blood dripping on the snow-white apron, Xiaoluzi saw Miss Song’s so fierce scene with his own eyes, his neck Feeling the pain, the more I don’t understand why His Royal Highness King Mu insists on a beauty like Miss Song, when I heard that Miss Song’s family was on the passenger ship, the prince lost his love and vomited blood.

    My dignified lord, shouldn’t I like the kind of ladies who don’t touch the spring water with ten fingers, can recite poetry, hold a pen and paint? If you just want to have fun, you can also look for a well-trained singer with a beautiful face, a delicate figure and a coquettish eye. Except for her beauty, Miss Song has nothing to do with those two things. What does His Royal Highness King Mu want?

    Until the smell of fried chicken wafted out, and the path rolled in the throat, I suddenly understood that Mu Wangtu was about Miss Song’s cooking! If he is a normal man, he also wants to marry a beautiful and delicious little daughter-in-law!

    “The girl’s craftsmanship is so delicious, our family’s saliva is drooling!” After realizing it, Xiaoluzi began to flatter Miss Song again.

    Shun Ning smiled, placed the fried chicken nuggets, fried chicken wings, and fried chicken legs on a plate, signaling the small road to bring them over.

    Xiao Luzi smiled slyly: “The girl should serve it herself. If the prince asks about the method of fried chicken, the girl needs to explain it.”

    Shu Ning pursed her lips, somewhat guessing that King Mu’s drunkenness was not about fried chicken.

    Packaging her emotions, Shu Ning carried the tray in both hands and followed the path to King Mu’s bedroom.

    The old acquaintance, Eunuch Wan, was also there, nodding with Shu Ning with a smile, then opened the door and asked Shu Ning to go in by himself.

    Shu Ning fluttered her eyelashes, bowed her head, and came to the second room with something.

      Shu Ning just came out of the sultry kitchen and was uncontrollably refreshed by the cold air.

    Not far from the ice tripod, there is an Arhat bed facing north and south. The Arhat bed is covered with an exquisite mat woven by skilled craftsmen. King Mu leaned comfortably on it, wearing only a black suit. Silk tunic, it seemed that he really just came back to Yangzhou to recuperate, and he enjoyed it enviously.

    “The girl visited the prince and heard that the prince was in a ill health. I wonder if it’s getting better.”

    Shu Ning held the tray and saluted slightly.

    Mu Wang looked at her as a market cook and smiled lightly: “Have you inquired about this king?”

    Shu Ning lowered his eyes and said, “I met by chance that day, fortunately the lord appeared in time to save me from the siege, saving me from falling into the trap of the two disciples by mistake, our family is very grateful to the lord, my father I wanted to come to thank the lord in person, but I heard that the lord came to Yangzhou to recuperate, so I didn’t bother to disturb him.”

    The smile on the corner of King Mu’s mouth deepened, but his eyes were always cold.

    Have not seen her for half a year, she is still so articulate, she speaks better than she sings. The last time she used this set, he misunderstood that she would be happy to stay in the capital. Unexpectedly, she took her family to the wharf as soon as she got home. When the spies passed the news to him, the passenger ship had already set off.

    She really wanted to leave, and King Mu wouldn’t force him to stay, but she fooled him with her falseness, and in a fit of rage, he vomited blood.

    In the past few months, the more King Mu thought about it, the more he could not swallow this breath, didn’t she want to avoid him? If she could hide from the capital, she could not hide from Yangzhou. Now that he is here, let’s see where she can hide.

    His eyes moved to the so-called golden fried chicken with a strong aroma, and King Mu sat upright.

    Shu Ning stepped forward and put the tray on the table in front of him.

    “Hot?” King Mu glanced at her, leaned back on the Arhat bed, and ordered, “You serve this king to eat.”

    Shunning:…

    This **** imperial power!

    People were under the eaves, so Shu Ning had no choice but to pick up a piece of chicken, tore off a piece, put it on the ice cauldron to blow the air, and then bent over and handed it to King Mu’s mouth.

     King Mu bit off this piece of meat.

    After eating, King Mu frowned and said, “It’s too bland.”

    Shuning made two flavors, and a spicy one. Hearing this, he tore a piece of spicy.

    This time, Mu Wang’s appetite was met, and she ate a chicken nugget, two chicken wings, and a chicken leg with her hand, and finally was full.

     Shu Ning’s hands were covered with oil stains from fried chicken.

    Mu Wang leaned lazily, looked at her hand and ordered, “Stretch out your hand.”

    Shun Ning was inexplicable, but in the face of an uncertain prince, Shu Ning could only stretch out his right hand.

    This is the hand that once penetrated deeply into his hair, once tensely clings to his shoulders, once slipped over his back helplessly.

     King Mu suddenly grabbed the thin wrist.

    Shu Ning was taken aback, just when she was worried that King Mu was going to retaliate against her for hurting her, such as breaking her hand, King Mu actually leaned over, opened his mouth, and gently helped She licked the crispy scum from her fingertips.

    One, two…
