The dinner was not delivered, and Xie Ning and the emperor sat in the pavilion.

Frogs can be heard near the water. In the summer evening, people who are so hot that they can't breathe, and the frogs croak in the distance are heard.

I felt different, and I felt completely different when I heard the croaking of the frogs. When I first entered the palace, I lived in the Yeting Palace, and there was a pool nearby. I could hear the croaking of the frogs at dusk. At that time, she felt sad and anxious, not even a person who could speak, and everything outside was strange. The more I heard the croaking of the frogs, the more I felt panicked.

At that time, she was particularly afraid of darkness. It was okay during the day, and there were people coming and going in the yard and talking. But at night, she was so afraid that she would not dare to turn off the lights, and she always felt that it was a completely strange and dangerous world outside.

"What are you thinking?"

Xie Ning instinctively avoided the topic of frog croaking and said, "It's going to rain."

It was to set off this sentence, and the muffled thunder rolled over the lake, and the heavy rain that had been brewing for the whole afternoon finally fell.

From the first thunder sounded, the frog croaked like an appointment, and all stopped for a while.

The emperor hugged her beside him and asked softly: "What fragrance has you been intoxicated?"

Xie Ning shook his head: "No, I don't like incense."

Especially in such a hot summer, she is impatient to smell various complex and different aromas. No matter which aroma it is, it is always made after various processes, steaming, stir-frying, roasting, cannoning, and baking. Other seasons are good, but people are already irritable in summer, and no matter what fragrance it is, they can smell a murderous aura of fireworks.

She said: "The smell of rain makes people feel cool and quiet when they smell it."

There is also the fragrance of lotus leaves and lotus flowers, the aura that has been preserved by the years of wood in the pavilion.

The rain gradually became heavier, thunder rumbling, and lightning suddenly appeared among the clouds. The emperor was very leisurely and stood by the window to watch. The color of the lightning was different, blue and white, purple and blue, and the lightning was like cracks in the sky.

"As long as the rain falls for an hour, the lake water will rise and spread across the Jiuqu Bridge." The emperor pointed to the long bridge across the lake and said with a smile: "When I was still young, I was so playful that I was afraid of missing the time of studying, so I wanted to cross the bridge and take a shortcut. Only then did I see the water overwhelming the bridge, which was almost one foot higher than the bridge deck."

Xie Ning could imagine that situation.

The Quqiao Bridge deck is low, and the lake water outside is about to rise.

"What should the emperor do at that time?"

The emperor smiled: "It's too late to detour again, and I will definitely be grabbed by the Grand Tutor. I will abandon my shoes and socks, roll up my pants, and run over from the bridge."

Xie Ning almost didn't laugh out loud, and quickly lowered his head. Even so, he still couldn't help it.

Think about what the emperor looked like at that time. He rolled his trouser legs barefoot, and ran on the bridge like a big horse monkey.

"It's not important, just laugh if you want to laugh. I want to laugh now." He said: "After crossing the bridge, wiped my feet randomly, put on my shoes and socks and walked away quickly. I really caught up with the door that I walked in with the Grand Tutor."

Xie Ning didn't know how to evaluate the emperor's past, so he could only say vaguely: "Dinner is delivered."

The dinner was kept tightly and the rain was not wet at all, but the eunuchs who delivered the meal were mostly wet.

She called for the winter melon soup to be served in a copper soup pot, and the clear soup opened the cover. The fragrant winter melon fragrance spreads in the pavilion.

The eunuch who served the meal cleverly served the emperor first and then her turn was her turn.

The soup is extremely delicious, with sweet winter melon, extremely fresh shell meat, and salty ham. This soup is so happy that it makes people not want to make it.

Braised bamboo shoots are also refreshing to eat, crispy and creaky when bitten, and every bite makes you feel more accomplished.

The dishes in front of the emperor were richer, but people often felt that the rice in other people's bowls were more fragrant. Xie Ning didn't eat a few bites of this dish of braised bamboo shoots. It was not that it was a big dish, but it all went into the emperor's stomach. The same is true for winter melon soup. Xie Ning scooped a few spoons of soup and soaked it. The emperor had never seen this way of eating it. It was not that it was very unruly, but whether he gave food to his ministers or had meals with the women in the harem, no one ever regarded eating as eating. Eating it seriously and eating it solidly is all a good way.

He also learned from her, scooped the soup into the rice and mixed it, and took a bowl of rice in just a few bites.

"I used to eat like this when I was at home." After eating, Xie Ning explained a little embarrassedly: "It tastes good."

"It's quite delicious." The emperor asked her: "Don't you eat like this after entering the palace?"

"I have eaten this a few times, but the palace maids around me couldn't bear it. They always persuaded me to stop me, saying that eating this way would make me fat, and I would have a fat belly and would not look good when I wear clothes."

The emperor was speechless.

Xie Cairen confessed that he felt that no matter what he said, it was not appropriate.

When others are in front of him, they always show their decisive performance, strive for perfection in every move, every word and every action, which is impeccable.

Does Xie Cairen don’t understand or can’t?

The emperor knew it.

She understands, she can do it, but she doesn't want to do it. She's like a marionette, like everyone else.

She made him feel novel because she was so open-minded.

Even the tastes of the two people were very close, and the dishes she ordered were fulfilled several times. As the emperor, of course, he could not express his desire to be greedy, and the people around him did not dare to make decisions without authorization. He had eaten with her several times, but he ate them in harmony.

The rain was getting tighter outside. Xie Ning looked at the endless rain curtain, his stomach was full, but his thoughts flew away.

I don’t know how to go back later? Anxiting Ting is obviously not a place to stay overnight, but it’s useless to hold an umbrella if it rains so heavily.

I hope the rain will stop earlier.

After dinner, the rain did not stop. The emperor seemed to be in a hurry to leave, and even asked her with a smile if she wanted to listen to the misunderstanding.

"The Jiaofangsi rehearsed a new song a few days ago, and the pipa and flute are both good."

Xie Ning asked with some confusion: "Can you listen to music on rainy days? I heard that in rainy days, both strings and flute tubes are tide and astringent, and they will also cause noise."

"Don't worry too much about this."

Xie Ning was also very obedient. Since the emperor said she didn't have to worry too much, she really didn't worry too much.

The musician came in the rain, and the musician holding the pipa was wearing a big red silk dress. On a rainy night, he looked sad and beautiful. The musician playing the flute was a tall and thin man following her.
