Palace Scheming: the Queen In the Cold Palace I - Chapter 57

Chapter 57: How long can the emperor’s favor last (3)

He raised his hand and lightly scratched her slender nose, and said with a smile: “I thought you would have opened my eyes back then. What would you have done if none of us had helped you at that time?”

“If you don’t take action, the King of Ming and Qing will not stand idly by.” Yun Qing didn’t know why, but when he thought of the situation that day, he felt slightly angry. Thinking about that day, he looked like he was watching a good show. Not only did he not help the scholar, he also had no intention of interfering with himself.

Think of him as the king of a country. Although he wears the clothes of the common people, he will always be an emperor!

An emperor who loves and protects his people will never let bullying happen in front of his eyes, even if he does not take action as an emperor.

 Fortunately, Xuanyuan Moyu was present, but he was just a spectator from beginning to end.

“I’m sorry! Yun Qing…” Xuanyuanze’s heart skipped a beat. Hearing her firm voice and looking at the coldness in her eyes, he suddenly felt guilty.

The reason why he held back at that time was just to see how she would react when faced with a crisis.

If he had known that he would fall in love with her as uncontrollably as he does now, then he would never let her stand in any dangerous place, let alone let others take his place and protect her first.

It’s a pity that he didn’t know how to cherish it at that time.

“Oh, does the elder brother also know that he was wrong? Haha, then accompany the little sister to say hello, as compensation for your turning a blind eye that day!” Yun Qing raised his eyes, and when he actually apologized to himself, My heart still inevitably trembles.

As for the scholar, Yun Qing saw that night that he was an upright and useful talent. It was rare to meet him again today, so he could help him by the way.

Zhong Nianlou, who was studying under a tree, was greatly surprised when he saw Xuanyuan Ze and Yun Qing, and kept bowing and thanking them.

Yun Qing covered her lips and smiled, looking at this young man who still spoke and behaved in a rigid manner. Just like last time, he playfully introduced Xuanyuan Ze as her eldest brother, which made Xuanyuan Ze’s handsome face stiffen and he kept holding her hand under his sleeve. The ground is aggravated.

When a few people chatted about their ambitions for the scientific examination, Xuanyuan Ze finally understood Yun Qing’s intention. He couldn’t help but feel relaxed and relieved about Yun Qing’s purpose of approaching this scholar.

As the conversation deepened, he discovered that this man was not only knowledgeable and talented, but also upright, loyal, filial, and upright. He was a rare talent.

If you can use it for your own use, you should be a pillar of the imperial court.

As the sun set, Xuanyuan Ze, who had already lost track of time while chatting with Zhong Nianlou, said goodbye and left under Yun Qing’s reminder. He also left a message saying that Zhong should go and try the scientific examination that will be held this year.

“Brother, do you really plan to personally invigilate this year’s scientific examination?” In the wind, Yun Qing’s clear voice blew slowly from in front of the horse to Xuanyuan Ze’s ears, making him raise his eyebrows and slightly tighten his hand around her. , said: “Who is your eldest brother? Call me Ze!”

“Huh?” Yun Qing didn’t hear clearly for a moment. She turned her head slightly and saw that his eyes were shining with clear springs as deep as pool water. Her heart suddenly panicked and she quickly turned her head.

Immediately after her ears felt warm, the person had already pressed lightly against her body, with the corners of his lips clinging to her soft earlobes. His warm breath was accompanied by a psychedelic sound, amidst the whistling wind, it was so… It’s unreal: “My Yun’er, call me Ze from now on! Ze belongs only to Yun’er!”

His heart suddenly lost control and became chaotic. As he clamped the horse’s belly violently, the horse swung far away like an arrow from its string. Yun Qing was so frightened that he hugged the strong arms around him tightly, his heart beating almost out of his chest.

　A pink cheek suddenly felt hot. Even if there was a cool breeze blowing, she still felt so hot…

 Three days later, the palace, which had been silent for a while, began to boil early in the morning. Both the palace servants and the palace masters are all preparing carefully for the celebration banquet to be held tonight with anticipation.

Xiao Taohong has been busy decorating in the Chenghe Hall early in the morning. According to Yun Qing’s instructions, she decorated the solemn and solemn hall. As soon as she entered the hall, she felt festive and joyful.

Ling Ge started preparing for the banquet and singing and dancing program, while Bi Tao stayed with Yun Qing and watched her busy all morning, arranging the list of concubines attending the celebration tonight and other trivial matters.

Since the plague was relieved, Xuanyuanze finally let go of his worries about the southeast area for a long time. The emperor was so happy that he asked Yunqing to hold tonight’s celebration banquet: all civil and military officials of the sixth rank and above in the imperial court must attend. Gather in Chenghe Hall.

At Yunqing’s suggestion, all the concubines in the harem will celebrate at the same time in Fangyi Hall, another main hall in Liangyi Palace. The emperor will go to Fangyi Hall in the middle of the ceremony, which is a kind of comfort to women who rarely see the emperor.

Xuanyuanze didn’t say whether he was good or bad about Yun Qing’s proposal. He just looked at her with a deep look that made Yun Qing unable to tell what he was thinking.

His words that still lingered in her ears when she came back from the palace made her feel uncontrollably cautious when facing him alone.

 She wanted to avoid him, but he would appear when he should appear, and he would appear when he shouldn’t.

“Do you need my help?” When Yun Qing was distracted unknowingly, a soft and deep laughter suddenly appeared next to her ears, making her panic and she hurriedly raised her head from the desk.

“Uh, is the emperor in court?” Trying to hide the uneasiness in his heart, Yun Qing nodded lightly to him and concentrated on his work again.

“Well, I’m hungry, let’s go eat together.” Xuanyuan Ze ignored Bitao’s presence and took out the pen from Yun Qing’s hand and held her hand. However, Yun Qing took her hand out with some dissatisfaction and said softly: “I still don’t care. It will be ready in a while, you go and eat first.”

“Oh, what are you busy with?” Xuan Yuanze raised his handsome eyebrows. Without Yun Qing paying attention, Xuanyuan Ze had already picked her up from the chair. He lifted up his clothes, hugged Yun Qing, and sat on the phoenix chair. superior.

“You…” Yun Qing’s face turned red, and Bi Tao beside him coughed lightly and said, “Miss, Your Majesty! I will go to arrange for the people in the kitchen to prepare lunch.”

 Speaking, Bi Tao smiled and quickly withdrew while Yun Qing was a little embarrassed.

“Your Majesty, how can Yun Qing do anything like this?” Unexpectedly, she was hugged and sat on his body. Yun Qing felt that the heat that made her whole body uncomfortable was rising, not only burning her face, but also her body. .

 He hugged her gently, a little shamelessly. Although his strength was not tight, his hands were clasped tightly, making it impossible for her to break out of his embrace.

“Well, as long as I’m here, won’t Yun’er be able to concentrate on her work?” The ambiguous voice was like a bolt of lightning, gently hitting Yun Qing’s heart, causing her body to tremble slightly, and she looked sideways to see the lips of the person behind her. The horns were flying beautifully, “Aren’t you getting better soon? I’ll wait for you here. Don’t worry, I won’t disturb you.”

His head came from the back of her neck and rested on her shoulder, his handsome eyes staring ambiguously at her pink cheeks full of blush, a smile flying from the corners of his eyes.

His behavior was clearly intentional to disturb her, but he still spoke so confidently that Yun Qing couldn’t help but glare at him angrily, and quickly turned his head away because the distance between their faces was too close.

Trying to adjust his mind and ignore the man around him who was entangled with him, Yunqing turned his attention to the list that he had not yet finished. In the meantime, Xuanyuan Ze just looked at her face quietly, gently smelling the faint fragrance coming from her body, his eyes shining with unconcealable tenderness.

 The midday sun slowly moved from Yunqing’s desk to her arms, slowly pulsing with her movements.

The soft light shone from the porcelain bottle on the right to half of Yun Qing’s face. Xuanyuanze had the illusion that the woman beside him seemed to have been hugging him for a lifetime; it seemed that he and her could be so quiet. Until old age.

After lunch, Yun Qing continued to deal with matters in Qingfengxuan, while Xuanyuanze lay comfortably on the recliner where Yun Qing usually rested, closed his eyes and rested. Bi Tao suddenly came in with a depressed expression and softly reported that Ning’er was outside the hall. Seeking to see the emperor, Concubine Hua asked the emperor to go to Zhuhua Palace.

“Well, you go and tell her that the Emperor will come over right away.” Yun Qing asked Bi Tao to go out first, then turned to look at the unmoved man and said calmly: “Your Majesty, it’s time to get up! Sister Hua Fei thinks so. I’m looking for you with something important.”

However, Xuanyuan Ze remained motionless, and his quietly closed eyes made it seem to her that he had fallen asleep.

Yun Qing frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied with his indifferent attitude.

He was clearly not asleep, but he ignored Bitao and his own words. He was really ruthless. I think Concubine Hua must have come to him because of something. Otherwise, Ning’er would not have found her in her palace.

 In recent times, Concubine Hua has never had any plot or dissatisfaction with herself, and has been staying peacefully in Zhuhua Palace. Some other concubines would occasionally come to their palaces to try to see the emperor, taking advantage of the opportunity to pay their respects.

In the hearts of all the women, as a queen, she should take the initiative to ask the emperor to share the rain and dew, rather than pampering herself.

Yun Qing knows this better than anyone else, and is more upset than anyone else.

Every time Yun Qing mentioned this topic to Xuanyuan Ze, he would always look at her with a very evil smile and say very ambiguously: It is not difficult for him to get wet with rain and dew, but if the queen refuses to sleep with him, how can he get wet with both rain and dew? What to say? Or is it that the Queen’s so-called equalization of rain and dew only targets other people, and she herself is not included. In this case, she has a special status, and because of her special status, why shouldn’t he treat her specially?

　　So every time after being blocked by his words, Yun Qing stopped trying to persuade him, and then simply ignored him and let him and his women wander around in front of her.

“Your Majesty?” At this moment, seeing him motionless, Yun Qing could not help but raise his voice with dissatisfaction, hoping that he could get up quickly and go to Zhuhua Palace.

“Yeah.” This time, Xuanyuan Ze suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head and looked straight at Yun Qing’s beautiful face with a hint of dissatisfaction, his handsome eyes were deep, and he was not even half sleepy.

His gaze was like an invisible giant net, covering Yun Qing’s figure deeply, making it impossible for her to see clearly what he would do next!

“It seems that you just want to drive me away?” He watched her eyes slowly lowering under his gaze, and a feeling of loss slowly overflowed from the bottom of his heart to his whole body, making his originally tight lips A bitter chuckle formed on her thin lips.

Then, when she simply lowered her head and continued to do her work, his eyes dimmed and he lightly jumped up from the recliner.

Her eyelids twitched, and a strong wind he brought blew Yunqing’s hair on her temples. The bright yellow corner of her clothes passed by her side without any regret, and a wisp of ambergris was already familiar to her. The aroma also penetrated Yunqing’s nose as he strode away…
