Aunt Nan did not make a move when she heard the order. She was feeling so concerned about her Queen.
At the beginning, the King did not care at all about what happened in the town. Although there were imperial doctors who came to check up on the Queen, they were just doing their work and left no impact upon the Queen.
Most of the time, the Queen was by herself. She was not feeling physically well, yet thanks to the medicinal soup Mr. Zhao made for her, she was not suffering that much, but now…
The King was interfering with what happened in the town.
He claimed to care about the Queen, yet he was not even taking her physical condition into consideration, but kept doing things just for his own sake.
The King insisted on feeding the Queen the night before, so she didn’t eat dinner. And now that the Queen was eating breakfast, the King still came and troubled her.
The Queen was a patient, but he did not even care about her!
Aunt Nan didn’t want the Queen to skip breakfast, so she was not very willing to fetch chopsticks and bowls for the King.
The King was just frowning and thinking that Aunt Nan was too old to move fast, when Zhao Yiqiu came around. He had been sitting not far from them and noticed that the Queen did not want to eat with the King and how unwilling Aunt Nan was to fetch the chopsticks and bowls. So he came to the King and said, “The weather is good, let’s take a walk around.”
Jiang Shuang was still Zhou Sheng’s Queen and Zhao Yiqiu should not get involved with this, but Zhao Yiqiu had to be involved with what Jiang Shuang ate and drank, so he could not allow the King to interfere with them. After all, Jiang Shuang did not look very happy about it, and when she was not happy, she would not eat anything.
The King frowned unhappily seeing Zhao Yiqiu coming to them.
He had thought that Jiang Shuang was alone in the yard for breakfast, and thought that they were back to the time when she waited for him at the Weiyang Palace, but unexpectedly, Zhao Yiqiu was keeping her company not faraway!
What was Zhao Yiqiu doing here? Zhao Yiqiu should not have appeared between him and Jiang Shuang, the King thought inwardly.
The King felt as if what he had been holding in his hands was being stared at by Zhao Yiqiu.
Hearing that Zhao Yiqiu was asking him to take a walk, the King believed that Zhao Yiqiu was stopping him and Jiang Shuang from sharing the same table and breakfast. That was something he could do, but not Zhao Yiqiu.
If that was the case, he was going to make Zhao Yiqiu see the scene with his own eyes and understand what he could drool for and what he could not!
The King looked into the sky and said calmly, “The day is good, Mr. Zhao. You can go and take a walk yourself. I don’t have much time, so I need to cherish the time keeping the Queen company, and it is not to be wasted.” Having said these words, the King showed a look of pride.
True…
Why should he be angry anyway? He was the King and Jiang Shuang was the Queen. Zhao Yiqiu was nothing!
Having said this, the King looked at Aunt Nan and said, “What are you staring at, Aunt Nan? Go and get things ready!” Aunt Nan looked hesitant. She forced herself to speak after a long while. “King, the Queen doesn’t have a fixed meal time every day, so the kitchen has the medical meals ready all the time. The Queen has just eaten breakfast and yours is not ready, would you like to wait a while?”
The King was very confused.
“Then get the medical meal for me too. I can share the bitterness and happiness with the Queen!”
