Chapter 408 (1/2)

It was a sunny day. Zhou Leping had lunch in the military camp at noon, and a chopstick of rice was delivered to his mouth. Outside, some soldiers came in and said that the servants of the great palace wanted to see him.

Although she was hungry, she did not hesitate to put down her chopsticks and hurried out. The housekeeper of the Imperial Palace asked her to see the imperial concubine.

”What's the matter with sister-in-law?”

”It's been several days. I don't eat or drink. I've been talking about your highness all the time. She doesn't care if the little master cries or shouts. I can't persuade them to eat. I'm in a dilemma. You're the only one I can think of. Please follow me to see the great imperial concubine.”

Zhou Leping put down what he was doing, told the soldiers at the door, and went to the palace with the housekeeper.

The weather is getting warmer. The sun is already shining at noon, and people are sweating. The imperial concubine is standing in the yard, looking at the trees that have sprouted in the yard. I don't know how long she has been standing.

On the table behind her were some delicate snacks and freshly brewed tea, but the snacks and tea remained untouched. The maid looked at her anxiously and saw Zhou Leping, with hope in her eyes.

”Sister in law.” She first tentatively called, saw that she did not respond, approached and said, ”sister-in-law, what are you looking at?”

Big imperial concubine Zheng Zheng of, didn't turn head to see her, even eyes all didn't move, ”didn't see what.”

”Have you eaten yet? I wish GuanLiang would not go home this afternoon. I'm bored to eat alone. Can I have a meal with you? ”

”Oh, of course.”

The imperial concubine finally agreed to see her. She chuckled and asked her maid to prepare lunch.

Zhou Leping sat at the table with a snack, tasted it and coaxed her, ”what kind of kidney bean cake is this? How can I eat it different from that at home? It seems that I put milk in it. Try it and see if it's right? ”

The big imperial concubine is being called back by her in a trance, ”I don't know. I'd better ask the cook later.”

Zhou Leping raised his cheek and sighed, ”how boring I am to eat alone, do you really not eat? If you don't eat, I'll be embarrassed to come to you later. ”

The imperial concubine said that she was not hungry and did not want to eat.
