Chapter 8 Wait for my return

Xiao Shengyun stretched out his hand and pulled Su Yuejin into his arms. His expression was gentle and he placed a palm on Su Yuejin's waist.

Su Yuejin squeezed her waist, Xiao Shengyun felt hot in her heart, her eyes darkened, and her voice was hoarse when she spoke: "Ji'er."

"Huh?" Su Yuejin looked at Xiao Shengyun. The sound of "wow" was like a hook in Su Yuejin's heart, and her hand involuntarily raised to touch Xiao Shengyun's cheek.

Their eyes intertwined, and Su Yuejin's heart felt hot. If she was stared at by such eyes all the time, she was afraid that she would drown in those eyes.

The distance between the two slowly closed, their noses almost touched, their breaths intertwined, the air seemed to become hot, and the atmosphere became ambiguous.

At this moment, an inappropriate sound sounded outside the door.

"Your Majesty, please go and see Concubine Shu. She has unbearable abdominal pain and has fainted."

Su Yuejin was startled, and Xiao Shengyun's face darkened visibly. The expressionless dog slave was disturbing his good deeds.

With his thin lips pursed slightly, he held Su Yuejin's waist and kissed the corners of her eyes and the tip of her nose, causing Su Yuejin's eyes to tremble slightly and she leaned back.

Xiao Shengyun stood up and opened the door, and saw the chamberlain kneeling in front of the door.

Xiao Shengyun was in a bad mood when a good thing was disturbed, and said with a gloomy face: "If you feel uncomfortable, go to the imperial hospital to see the imperial doctor. There are still things in the imperial study that I need to deal with, so please leave."

Before leaving, he turned around and took a deep look at Su Yuejin, and then left.

If he favored Jin'er at this time, it would put Jin'er in danger. He was still too anxious.

In Yikun Palace, Concubine Shu asked after seeing the chamberlain return.

"Where is the Emperor?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that there is something that needs to be dealt with, so..."

"Get out! Get out of here, everyone!"

Concubine Shu clenched her fists angrily and kicked away the servant who was kneeling in front of her.

No one who was waiting in the room dared to speak for a while. The chamberlain was almost fainted from the lesson, and several palace servants dragged the chambermaid out of the palace.

Until the door of the palace was closed again, Wei Shu could not get out of her angry mood.

She raised her lips in a cold smile, but her eyes were full of hatred.

"Okay! Su Yuejin, I won't let you have an easy time!"

With that said, Wei Shu got up and came to the table and wrote something on the letter paper. Considering Su Yuejin's feelings for the prince, she didn't believe it and couldn't let that bitch suffer!

After a while, the homing pigeon flew south from Wei Shu's palace.

Xiao Zhaolin, who was suppressing bandits, saw the carrier pigeon flying from a distance. He waved slightly, and the carrier pigeon landed firmly on his arm.

He originally thought he would get some good news, but his expression changed after reading the contents of the letter.

During this period, the relationship between Su Yuejin and Xiao Shengyun was getting better and better. Su Yuejin was obsessed with Xiao Shengyun after she had only been away for a few days.

Although she doesn't care who the person she cares about is, she is still useful now.

Looks like we need to get back as soon as possible.

Xiao Zhaolin gave a few instructions behind him. The leading guard nodded and told the guarding soldiers, "Your Majesty has an order, take action!"

I saw the soldiers raising their swords and dropping their swords. Both the bandits and the rescued civilians all fell to the ground. In a moment, a blazing fire was ignited on the spot, and everything disappeared in the flames.

The next day, the news that Prince Xian had annihilated the ferocious bandits reached Kyoto.

In the court hall, Xiao Shengyun looked at Xiao Zhaolin who was kneeling on the ground and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please get up. You have made great achievements in suppressing the bandits. I will specially set up a banquet at Yanchun Pavilion tonight to help you wash away the dust."

Xiao Zhaolin said: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"

I think Su Yuejin also wants to attend the banquet, so why not meet and test it out.

"My Lady, won't you dress up for today's banquet? I think the Emperor will be happy if he sees it."

The chamberlain who was helping Su Yuejin dress up reminded her.

dress up?

After all, I was here to greet Xiao Zhaolin today. If I dressed up nicely, others would misunderstand that I was doing it specifically for Xiao Zhaolin.

Not as good as usual.

"No, that's fine."

Speaking of this, Su Yuejin turned her eyes to the chamberlain serving beside her.

"Don't say anything you shouldn't say. Don't you understand the rules in the palace?"

Although he had already guessed that there might be someone from Concubine Shu around him, he didn't expect that even his personal servant would betray him.

Banquet Spring Pavilion.

Xiao Zhaolin and the ministers had arrived long ago.

Many ministers raised their glasses to toast Xiao Zhaolin, with smiles on their faces and flattering words on their lips.

Xiao Zhaolin also enjoyed the feeling of being held in high esteem by the stars. Unexpectedly, the eunuch's voice came from outside.

"The Emperor is here, the Queen is here!"

All civil and military officials knelt down to greet them. Under everyone's gaze, Su Yuejin was led into the Yanchun Pavilion by Xiao Shengyun.

After the two of them sat firmly, Xiao Shengyun spoke.

"My lords, please be free. Today is to welcome the crown prince, so you don't need to be restrained."

As he spoke, Xiao Shengyun turned his attention to Xiao Zhaolin, who was standing at the front.

"Your Majesty, if you are successful in suppressing the bandits, I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold and build a new mansion for you, okay?"

Xiao Zhaolin quickly leaned over and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Zhaolin bowed slightly, seemingly respectful but not polite. He even stared at Su Yuejin closely, obviously dissatisfied with such a reward. It seemed reasonable to think that after he was a prince, how could he care about the gold.

"Okay, don't be so polite, just pretend that I and the queen don't exist."

Although he said this, he still did not let go of Su Yuesun's hand, as if he was silently declaring his sovereignty.

From the beginning to the end, Su Yuejin's eyes never fell on Xiao Zhaolin for a moment.

She disdained and did not want to see Xiao Zhaolin because she was worried that she would not be able to control the hatred in her heart and do something impulsive.

Xiao Zhaolin came back earlier than in his previous life, perhaps because of his own reasons.

But no matter what his purpose was, he was going to be disappointed this time.

Unexpectedly, not long after the banquet started, the Yanchun Pavilion, where the singing and dancing was flourishing, suddenly fell silent.

The leading dancer fell to the ground, clutching her ankle in pain. At this time, she didn't even have the strength to stand up.

"Take the person down and ask the imperial doctor to take a look."

Xiao Shengyun spoke with a little anger in his tone.

All the civil and military officials in the court were watching. It was really embarrassing for the dancer to be so incompetent.

"Your Majesty, since the dancer is injured, why not let me recite a poem to relieve your boredom?" Xiao Zhaolin said.

In his previous life, Xiao Zhaolin became famous in the capital with this poem, which even made him mistakenly think that Xiao Zhaolin liked him.

Thinking of this, Su Yuejin said: "Writing a poem? Your Majesty, I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince has always been very good at swordsmanship, why not let His Highness the Crown Prince dance the sword? It can also open my eyes."

Su Yuejin finally spoke, but what she said made Xiao Zhaolin unable to get off the stage. Looking at Su Yuejin and Xiao Shengyun's loving couple on top, it was even more annoying.

Sword dancing is obviously something only those dancing girls who cannot stand up to the stage can do.

Now let him dance the sword in front of all the civil and military officials. Isn't this intentional humiliation?

The atmosphere of the scene became awkward for a while.

Xiao Shengyun smiled slightly, a little surprised that Su Yueshen made this suggestion, but considering other things, he still said to Xiao Zhaolin: "Well, since the prince is interested, why not let me listen to your poem?"

"Then I will show my disgrace." Xiao Zhaolin stood up and said loudly.

"There is no winner among equals. I am a crane on the sea. Returning to the cliff requires courtship. Coming back is like a pair of shadows."

At the beginning of the poem, it expresses the openness and vastness. Kunpeng flies away in the wind, but is trapped by things behind it, which makes people sigh with emotion.

As soon as he finished speaking, the banquet was filled with a steady stream of compliments from the ministers.

Wait for my return?

Xiao Shengyun didn't say anything, but he immediately understood that this was an acrostic poem.

As for who this is meant for, of course there is no need to say more.

Thinking of this, he lowered his eyes and asked Su Yuejin beside him quietly: "What does the queen think?"
