Chapter 697 If you don’t like dancing, you don’t love people.
On a certain high pavilion in the palace, a lonely figure stood alone behind the railing.
Yin Yuli, who was full of alcohol, stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the bright lights in Phoenix City, but his heart was lonely.
Shen Jiao's body has been buried in the imperial mausoleum with his father.
He doesn't love Shen Jiao, he only loves the person who can give her a glimmer of light in his cold past years.
He Liang and Shen Jiao always thought that he was a cowardly and incompetent puppet, but little did they know that they were also knives in his hands.
He wanted Shen Jiao to be reborn, but he didn't expect that the person who gave him light was not Shen Jiao, but Huo Jiaqi.
"Your Majesty, today is New Year's Eve. Do you think you should go back to the palace or go to the Queen's Palace?" Eunuch Luo asked.
"Queen? How come I forgot her? Let's go to her place."
"Yes! I will send someone to inform your Majesty right now."
When Yin Yuli turned around, there was a coldness in his eyes.
It seems that it is time to take out Shen Jiao's heartache from Zhai Xiangyi's body.
It just so happens that, like this, it's time for those courtiers to shut up.
Anyway, Wuxi Muxin will erase their relevant memories.
Queen's palace.
"What? The emperor wants to see me? Hurry! Yaxin, prepare some hot water, help me wash and dress, take a bath and change clothes!"
"Yes! Empress!"
The palace maids and eunuchs immediately became busy.
After Zhai Xiangyi took a bath, he sat in front of the mirror. The palace maid wiped his wet hair from behind, while Yaxin drew his eyebrows in front of him, dotted flowers on his forehead, applied some powder, and applied lipstick.
It is winter now, and it snowed all night again last night. Fortunately, the hall is lit with silver carbon, so it is still warm.
Yaxin then ordered the palace people to light incense, loosen the gauze curtains, and then left with the palace people.
When Yin Yuli arrived, he saw dim candlelight in the hall. When he opened the door, it was hazy inside.
When he stepped into the dormitory, he vaguely saw a woman wearing a red gauze dress dancing gracefully, like a graceful butterfly.
Yin Yu saluted, then raised his hand to lift up the layers of gauze and walked towards the woman.
It must be said that Shen Jiao's face and demeanor are always fatally attractive to men.
However, no matter how similar Zhai Xiangyi is, he is just imitating Xi Shi.
"What are you doing?!"
Yin Yuli's deep voice seemed to be mixed with anger. Zhai Xiangyi was frightened and immediately stopped dancing.
He lifted up the last layer of gauze and looked at Zhai Xiangyi, who was wearing thin clothes, with a slightly dissatisfied expression.
"Your Majesty, I am just a concubine"
"You are the queen of a country! You are not a dancing girl. Don't do these things again in the future."
"But, Your Majesty, don't you like to watch your concubines dance the most?"
Yin Yuli pursed his lips, his eyes a little indifferent: "I don't love your dance."
Zhai Xiangyi's smile froze, and then she walked to him, put her arm around his arm, and smiled sweetly: "Your Majesty, you have drunk too much. I asked you to prepare a sobering soup."
Yin Yuli took out his hand and said, "I married you as my queen because your father used military power to blackmail me into letting you enter the palace."
"Blackmail? My father blackmailed the emperor? How is this possible? I can see that the emperor also likes me."
Yin Yuli looked at her face, and seemed to be looking through her at Shen Jiao, who had been kind to him.
"If I don't love your dance, how can I love the dancer?"
The words were so straightforward that even if Zhai Xiangyi wanted to deceive himself, it would be impossible.
"So, the person the emperor loves is the Queen Mother Shen? You are nice to me because I look like the Queen Mother Shen?"
Zhai Xiangyi felt sour in her heart and held back tears. She wanted to laugh but couldn't. She took a step back and tears fell down.
"I have no romantic feelings for Queen Mother Shen, so I came here tonight to give you your appearance back."
"My appearance?"
Yin Yuli raised his hand and touched her heart. Zhai Xiangyi's heart hurt. She felt that many memory fragments were being lost. Looking at the young man in front of her, his eyes were so unfamiliar.
Zhai Xiangyi stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to grab something, but he couldn't catch anything in time, and his body tilted and fell to the ground.
At the same time, everyone's memory of Zhai Xiangyi has changed.
Except for Su Zhen and others who have come into contact with Wu Ximu, no one will remember the ridiculous things Yin Yuli did for Shen Jiao.
Yin Yuli picked up Zhai Xiangyi from the ground and placed her on the bed. He tucked her in the quilt and stood up to go to the imperial study, but he lay down next to Zhai Xiangyi again.
Since he married her, he should give her the respect that a queen and a wife should have. If he comes and leaves, someone will gossip about her tomorrow.
When Zhai Xiangyi woke up the next day, the area next to her was still warm. She rubbed her sore temples and called out, "Ya Xin?"
"Mother, my servant is here."
Yaxin waited on Zhai Xiangyi and helped her get dressed, and the maids also brought toiletries.
A strange fragment flashed before Zhai Xiangyi's eyes, but it disappeared before she could catch it.
"Ya Xin, where is the emperor?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty went to court early in the morning. He said he would come over to dine with your Majesty during lunch."
Another maid smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is so considerate to you. He told the slaves to take good care of you. It snowed the day before yesterday and asked you to wear thicker clothes when you go out so as not to freeze. If If you want to eat something, ask the imperial kitchen to prepare it immediately. If you want to eat something from outside the palace, ask a private cook to come into the palace to cook it for you."
Zhai Xiangyi's face suddenly turned red. She smiled, sat in front of the mirror, looked at her face, and felt relieved for some reason. At the same time, she felt that she had forgotten something.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! What good news!" A little eunuch suddenly ran in in a hurry.
"How come you, a slave, are so unruly, running rampant and yelling in the palace?"
When the grandma in charge saw this, she immediately scolded him.
"My queen, please spare my life!"
Zhai Xiangyi pretended to be angry at Grandma and said, "Okay, Grandma, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year, so don't scold them."
"Yes! Empress!"
"Xiao Dezi, tell me, what are you happy about?"
Xiao Dezi knelt on the ground and smiled from ear to ear: "Your Majesty, I just heard some guards chatting. They said that the emperor announced when he went to court today that from now on, you will be the only queen in the harem. Take a concubine."
For a sudden moment, Zhai Xiangyi couldn't help but laugh, as a male voice seemed to echo in her ears.
'If I don't love your dance, how can I love the dancer?'
"Empress? Empress?!"
Nanny's call brought back Zhai Xiangyi's thoughts.
Yaxin covered her lips and said with a smile: "I'm afraid your Majesty may be so happy. Look, she was stunned."
"You little girl, how dare you make fun of me?"
Zhai Xiangyi scratched her nose.
Yaxin stuck out her tongue.
"The plum blossoms in the palace seem to be blooming, let's go and have a look."
