Early the next morning.

The soft jade fragrance was still lingering inside the warm tent, but when Chengde's tentative cry rang out from outside, the dazed Emperor Yuan Cheng opened his eyes even more tiredly.

"Sage, please get up and serve you."

Seeing Concubine Shu sitting up gently and gently, putting her slender hands on her coat casually, every move she made showed the unique boudoir style of a mature woman.

With Concubine Shu's support, Emperor Yuan Cheng stood up slowly. Because he was wearing a corset-length skirt under his outer shirt, Emperor Yuan Cheng saw the snow-white spring light under Concubine Shu's neck and blurted out unintentionally: "My beloved concubine seems to be plumper than before."

Hearing Emperor Yuan Cheng's words, Concubine Shu, who was dressing him, paused, and the next moment she laughed and said, "Does the saint think that I am fat?"

After hearing this, Emperor Yuan Cheng managed a smile and said: "Huan is fat and Yan is thin. My beloved concubine is naturally beautiful. No matter how beautiful she is, I haven't had time to treasure her, so how can I dislike her?"

What she said made Concubine Shu smile shyly, but from the side, Chengde saw the faint dark blue under Emperor Yuan Cheng's eyes, as well as the tiredness that could not be concealed in his expression.

"How did your beloved concubine sleep well last night?"

Hearing Emperor Yuan Cheng's casual inquiry, Concubine Shu seriously took the jade belt from Gong E's hand, and said to Emperor Yuan Cheng who stretched out his hands: "The saint knows that with you by my side, I sleep the best."

Okay."

Accompanied by Concubine Shu, Emperor Yuan Cheng had some breakfast at will, and then left with everyone in Chengde. When he walked out of the Qingsi Hall, Emperor Yuan Cheng looked at the clear sky and bright sun, but his sadness did not diminish at all.

"Is the queen ready when she leaves the palace?"

"Ready."

Hearing Chengde's response, Emperor Yuan Cheng nodded, and then said: "Have the arrangements for tonight been properly arranged?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, everything is fine."

Seeing Chengde lowering his head respectfully, Emperor Yuan Cheng asked no more questions. He just walked into the dragon chariot again with a blank face and leaned there. Everything about last night came back to his mind again, vividly.

In this room, Concubine Shu saw Yuhan personally holding the residual ambergris in front of the bed and about to go out to clean it up. However, Concubine Shu couldn't help but remind her: "Be careful and don't let anyone see it!"

After hearing Concubine Shu's instructions, Yuhan's originally nervous hands became even stiffer, and he quickly agreed and left in a hurry.

That night, Li Sui did not go to the Lantern Festival banquet as usual, but stayed in the Lizheng Palace chatting with Queen Yang and roasting fire crystal persimmons.

Under the warm light, Li Sui held a candle with his hands clasped together, sometimes transforming into a rabbit, sometimes transforming into a wild goose. Queen Yang who was watching beside her gradually fell into the memories of her former boudoir.

"Sister, do you want to come and give it a try?"

After hearing Li Sui's encouragement and meeting the girl's expectant gaze, Empress Yang stood up with a smile and walked over. She changed her delicate hands and printed a peacock proudly combing its feathers on the screen. Then she changed her hand and another one appeared.

lifelike

When the palace maids held their palms and laughed, Empress Yang and Li Sui smiled knowingly. The next moment, with the combined efforts of the two, a phoenix flew straight up from the screen, causing some of the palace maids to cry out.

.

"It's so lively——"

At this moment, the soft curtain was lifted, and Queen Yang followed the crowd and saw Emperor Yuan Cheng standing there in ordinary clothes with a warm smile.

"Shiro?"

Queen Yang looked at Emperor Yuan Cheng standing here dressed like this and couldn't help but said: "Is the night banquet over?"

Seeing everyone's surprise, Emperor Yuan Cheng walked in with a smile and took Queen Yang's hand. Regardless of the palace ladies around him who were saluting, he only leaned closer and whispered to Queen Yang: "I sneaked out with the help of wine."

After hearing what Emperor Yuan Cheng said, Empress Yang was about to give advice, but Emperor Yuan Cheng didn't give him a chance to speak. He only held Empress Yang's shoulders and looked at her and said, "This dress is too thin. It's called Jiamo."

They will serve you and change into warm clothes——"

After saying that, Emperor Yuan Cheng looked at Li Sui who was standing aside and said with a smile, "Ah Man, let's go change some clothes too."

Seeing Emperor Yuan Cheng's puzzling behavior, Empress Yang asked: "What should I do to change clothes?"

Upon hearing Queen Yang's inquiry, Emperor Yuan Cheng stepped forward and pretended to be mysterious and uttered two words.

"Leave the palace."

Queen Yang was stunned when she heard this, and then said: "No, the outside of the palace is not as strict as the inside. You are the Supreme Being, how can you leave the palace easily?"

"What's more, tonight is the Lantern Festival banquet, and all the ministers are waiting for you, how can you-"

Before Queen Yang could finish speaking, Emperor Yuan Cheng wrapped his hands around Queen Yang's hand, his eyes twinkling like stars, and said without wavering: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. There will be Concubine Shu, Taiwei and Shangshu Ling at the palace banquet.

And eldest sister, it’s a busy time right now. As for leaving the palace, I have found the most suitable person to protect us - "

"Can--"

After hearing Emperor Yuan Cheng's words, Queen Yang still hesitated, but Emperor Yuan Cheng in front of her stared at her with hope and expectation, making her unable to refuse.

Seeing that Queen Yang was coerced into agreeing, Li Sui didn't say much. After all, in her heart, she just hoped that her sister would be safe and happy.

But now, the happiness that Emperor Yuan Cheng brings to my sister is something that even she cannot replace.

When Li Sui, who had changed her clothes, accompanied Empress Yang and Emperor Yuan Cheng walked out of the Danfeng Gate in a car, she understood who the appropriate person in Emperor Yuan Cheng's words was.

In the hustle and bustle of the night, a tall, heroic man was standing in front of the horse, wearing a black futou, a red round-necked robe with beaded patterns, a jade belt around his waist, and a handle in his hand.

Black long sword.

Looking away, Li Sui suddenly felt that the long and tall figure seemed to be blending into the dim light, but it actually took away the bright lights of the city behind him.

I never thought that a person who always wears plain-colored clothes would still look good in this eye-catching red. Faintly, he looks like a new top scholar who has become a scholar and a martial artist.

It can be seen that good-looking people look good even if they are ragged.

"His Majesty--"

When the person came forward, Empress Yang pursed her lips and smiled, glanced at Li Sui who was silent beside her, and took the lead in speaking out: "Just now, His Majesty said that he had hired the most suitable person to protect us, but he didn't expect it to be King Yuling. Today.

It’s quite humiliating to ask such a famous person to accompany us for a private visit incognito.”

"Your Highness is making ridiculous compliments. I am only doing my duty."

Looking at Zhao Yi who was clasping his fists and nodding, Emperor Yuan Cheng said with a smile: "Ai Qing, get up, today I will pay you a private visit incognito. You and I will go together, so don't worry about your identity. Just call me Shiro and the queen. As for Aman -

—”

As Emperor Yuan Cheng spoke, he smiled and turned to look at Li Sui aside and said, "Ai Qing, please consider it yourself."

Hearing Emperor Yuan Cheng's request, Empress Yang glanced at the carriage waiting behind Zhao Yi and said: "I used to make lanterns with my brothers and sisters, judge the lanterns and answer riddles, but now that I think about it, I haven't been out for a long time."

Seeing Empress Yang's increasingly brighter features, Emperor Yuan Cheng smiled from the side and said, "Then let's set off."

Seeing Emperor Yuan Cheng personally helping Queen Yang get into the car, and just as he was about to get in, Emperor Yuan Cheng said: "The car is crowded, so Ah Man asked King Yuling to take care of her."

The implication is that Li Sui was naturally riding in the same car with King Yuling. Li Sui glanced at the extremely wide space in the car. Before he could speak, he heard Queen Yang sitting in it and said with a smile: "Thank you.

Already."

After finishing his words, Li Sui saw Empress Yang's pointed smile and said nothing, and turned to walk side by side towards the carriage with Zhao Yi.

She had not seen Zhao Yi again since she returned to the palace to betrothed to him.

Thinking that only more than a month had passed, and now they were still engaged, it was extremely quiet as they walked.

"It's rare to see you wearing red clothes."

A woman's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Zhao Yi looked around, and suddenly realized that the numerous bright lights were not as exquisite as the exquisite profile of Princess Yongning beside him, as if every stroke was exquisitely carved, and there was something more.

Every detail is deliberate, but anything less is not enough.

"I heard that the princess likes red dresses the most on weekdays?"

When Zhao Yi didn't answer the question, Li Sui raised her head for a moment, but when she saw the man in front of her looking at him seriously, she suddenly remembered something.

So what if she likes red dresses——

Thinking of this, Li Sui felt a strange emotion coming over her, and even she couldn't explain it for a moment.

But seeing the calm look on the person beside him and the brisk pace, Li Sui gradually calmed down again.

Maybe she just got it wrong.
