Chapter Twelve One Year in a Hurry (2)
Chapter 12 A quick year (Two)
Around the hour of You, Zhu Yinglong put down the cinnabar brush in his hand. Today's memorial was reviewed. Many of the small things that were shocking in the place were earth-shaking, but when they came to his hands, they became small things that were as big as sesame. This is because of the different directions of the problem. He was numb to see many similar things.
After rubbing his sour eyes, Zhu Yinglong stood up and stretched and moved for a while. He remembered that he had agreed to go to Chen Qianqian of Xianfu Palace tonight, so he woke up Xu Yingyuan who was tilted and nodded and nodded. He summoned sixteen large inner guards, took the dragon chasing and headed to Xianfu Palace.
Although Zhu Yinglong was wearing the thermal underwear that the girls had tinkered with, and the most expensive mink fur in the world, he suddenly exposed from the warm study to the air dripping into ice. He suddenly felt the cold air coming straight from the neckline and trembled instinctively before adapting to the outside environment.
After about a stick of incense, Xu Yingyuan heard: "Your Majesty, Xianfu Palace has arrived!"
Zhu Yinglong walked off the dragon and walked into the quiet and peaceful Xianfu Palace. A eunuch had already informed him first, and Chen Qianqian brought a few close-fitting palace maids to greet him.
"Qianqian welcomes the emperor!" Chen Qianqian stepped forward and bent her knees, gently opening her teeth.
Zhu Yinglong stretched out his right hand, bent over and helped Chen Qianqian up, and said warmly: "Have you been waiting for a long time, right?
Chen Qianqian was very surprised. This man who was her husband had never been so gentle to him. Why did his attitude towards him suddenly change drastically and his mind was lost and he forgot to answer Zhu Yinglong's question?
Entering the warm hall, taking off the martened cloak on his body and handing it to Xu Yingyuan's hand. Zhu Yinglong took the initiative to pull Chen Qianqian's slender hands and sat beside him.
A pot of warm wine, seven or eight plates of exquisite side dishes, was still steaming. It was obviously just hot, and was placed in front of the two in an orderly manner. Just looking at the appearance was pleasing to the eye.
"You all go down, I have something to say with Concubine Chen." Zhu Yinglong knew that Chen Qianqian had something to say to him, so he simply drove out the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall.
After obeying the orders, the lower-level palace maids and eunuchs came out one after another and walked out of Chen Qianqian's bedroom. The eunuchs were left with Xu Yingyuan and Shen Qianqian's personal palace maid Xu Wanruo, still standing on the side without moving.
"Xu Yingyuan, you go down and rest too. I will rest at Concubine Chen tonight!" Zhu Yinglong sent Xu Yingyuan away.
Chen Qianqian looked at Zhu Yinglong in surprise. The emperor's thoughts were hard to figure out, especially this abnormal behavior made her feel even more uneasy. The emperor even sent away the eunuch whom she trusted most. She couldn't leave her close-knit palace maid. Besides, serving the emperor was her duty as a concubine. She turned sideways to Xu Wanruo and said, "Yuruo, you have gone down to rest, I have been busy with me for a day, and you are tired."
"Yes, Concubine Chen!" Xu Wanruo followed Xu Yingyuan calmly and retreated from the bedroom.
Chen Qianqian first filled the wine glasses in front of the two with golden wine, then sat down, smiled at Zhu Yinglong, and raised her glass and said, "I am very happy to come to my bedroom tonight. I respect the emperor with a glass!"
The word "Same bed, different dreams" is perfect for describing his relationship with Chen Qianqian. Zhu Yinglong sighed slightly in his heart, reached out to hold the slightly hot wine glass, and said, "Please, beloved concubine!"
The wine is good wine, but it seems that there is no smell in the mouth of the two of them. After it enters the throat, it still shows a hint of bitterness.
"Qianqian, I..." Zhu Yinglong wanted to say sorry, but Chen Qianqian got up again and filled the glasses of the two of them with fine wine, interrupting him and said: "It is my honor to come to me tonight. I wish you another cup of wine!"
"This..." Zhu Yinglong couldn't help but hesitate. First, he came here tonight to know Chen Qianqian's purpose, and second, he knew about Chen Qianqian's bad habit of drinking. Just now, two flusheds rose on Chen Qianqian's cheeks, and a kind of pity that I felt was coming from the weak and delicate Chen Qianqian, which made Zhu Yinglong's heart beat. This feeling he had never felt from other concubines.
However, Zhu Yinglong did not stop him in the end and drank three cups with Chen Qianqian.
After three cups, Chen Qianqian's eyes suddenly became blurred. She had too many words to say to her husband tonight, but her throat was stuck. I heard that alcohol can enhance courage. After trying to put three cups in a row, she found that her belly was full of words and could not say it.
"Your Majesty, is Qianqian beautiful?" Perhaps it was alcohol that had taken effect. After a while of speech, Chen Qianqian suddenly raised her head and stared at Zhu Yinglong with a pair of shy and resentful eyes.
"Beautiful, of course it's beautiful!" To be honest, although Chen Qianqian is not as beautiful as the most beautiful woman, she is a rare beauty, and a skinny beauty. In this case, Zhu Yinglong felt pity for Chen Qianqian with a hint of guilt, so he naturally would not say anything hurting the other party's heart.
"Did I do something wrong? I always feel that the emperor is very distant to Qianqian, just like two strangers?" Under the influence of alcohol, Chen Qianqian didn't dare to say something on weekdays, so she said it.
"How could it be? Qianqian, you are my wife, how could you be like a stranger?" Zhu Yinglong couldn't help but bring Chen Qianqian into his arms, hugged her skinny waist, and revealed his true feelings.
Chen Qianqian suddenly closed her eyes, and a drop of crystal tears spilled out of her phoenix eyes, murmured: "But why is the emperor so distant and so cold every time he sees Qianqian?"
Zhu Yinglong's body trembled slightly, and his arms that hugged Chen Qianqian suddenly relaxed a little. He didn't know how to answer this question at all. In fact, he was like this to Chen Qianqian.
"Your Majesty, can you hug Qianqian?" At this time, Chen Qianqian's voice came from his chest. It turned out that Chen Qianqian had already snuggled up to Zhu Yinglong's arms.
Zhu Yinglong subconsciously hugged Chen Qianqian's weak body, and the two of them snuggled together for about a stick of incense, like a very loving couple.
Most of the red candles in the hall had burned, and it was almost time to sleep. Zhu Yinglong gently pulled Chen Qianqian's head away and said in her ear: "Qianqian, it's time for us to rest!"
Chen Qianqian opened her eyes with a "ah" sound. She just felt that she was in a very warm and happy embrace and didn't want to wake up at all. But reality is reality after all, and this warm embrace only belongs to her for the time being, and it does not belong to herself.
"I'm honored to see you off!" Chen Qianqian got up and broke free from Zhu Yinglong's arms, leaned over and said.
"Didn't I say that I'll stay with my beloved concubine tonight?" Zhu Yinglong was very surprised. She asked for three nights. Now it was the first night, so she pushed herself out. What was going on? Zhu Yinglong was confused.
