Lying on the bed, Zhao Chengji opened his eyes and stared blankly above him.
This feels wrong, something is missing.
I was silent for a while. I felt very tired and wanted to sleep, but I couldn't.
Turned sideways.
The scene of Yu Lan lying in her arms subconsciously appeared in his mind. His hands were a little empty, which made Zhao Chengji a little uncomfortable. After a while, he was actually used to having someone beside him.
Now, without Yu Lan around, everything feels wrong. Getting used to it is really a terrible thing.
He raised his hand and put it on his forehead.
I don’t know what she is doing right now. Is she asleep?
The more I think about it, the clearer my mind becomes.
The sleepiness suddenly disappeared.
Turning over and sitting up on the bed, his long dark hair fell from his shoulders like a waterfall. He had no hair tied now and was only wearing a black middle coat.
After taking a look at the brightly lit bedroom, Zhao Chengji got up and got out of bed.
"Someone is coming..."
Upon hearing the emperor's summons, the eunuch guarding the door opened the door and walked in. The person who came was none other than Ji Wen. Now he had changed into eunuch clothes and looked more serious than usual.
Ji Wen bent over and lowered his head until he was closer to the bed. Then he saluted respectfully and said, "This servant has met Your Majesty."
Looking up at him, Zhao Chengji said calmly: "Go to Shou'an Palace."
Ji Wen nodded in response.
"yes……"
"Showing the Shou'an Palace..."
…
at the same time.
Shou'an Palace.
At this moment, Yu Lan was talking to the Queen Mother.
In fact, we didn't say much, we just chatted casually, and the atmosphere was quite warm.
Earlier, Yu Lan followed the Queen Mother to Shou'an Palace. Maybe she was tired from the car ride, and incense was lit in the room. She wanted to sleep before she could say a few words to the Queen Mother. Under the arrangement of the Queen Mother,
After a nap, it was already night when I woke up.
Yu Lan had dinner with the Queen Mother, and then the Queen Mother asked her a lot of questions. It was all small talk, but she also knew what she should say and what she should not say.
At first, Yu Lan was still very nervous. After gradually getting along with her, she felt that the Queen Mother was a majestic and loving mother. This made Yu Lan relax her heart.
"When the Ai family was pregnant with the emperor, they loved eating sour food. Seeing as you like it too, maybe this baby will be a little prince."
After listening to the Queen Mother's words, Yu Lan lowered his head slightly, and a smile appeared on his face. The smile was light and bright. Her baby not only had a little prince, but also a little princess, so no matter what the Queen Mother said, she gave birth to a baby.
Accurate.
Thinking this in his heart, Yu Lan said with a smile on his face: "Everything is fine, as long as it can be done safely."
In this life, she only hopes that her child can be born safely.
The Queen Mother nodded.
"That's true."
Even if there are two more princesses, that would be a blessing.
Just talking.
Then I heard the eunuch's voice coming from outside.
"The Emperor has arrived..."
When she heard that the emperor was coming, the Queen Mother couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She understood that the emperor had just returned to the palace and had a lot of things to deal with. He was already so busy and didn't rest. Why would he come to her here?
There were slight footsteps at the door. Hearing the sound, Yu Lan raised his eyes and looked over.
In sight, the tall figure of a man slowly walked in.
At this time, he was wearing a black shirt and a long-sleeved robe. The clothes were embroidered with dragon patterns with gold thread, and the collar and cuffs were lightly embroidered with cloud patterns. It looked simple, but it gave people a sense of elegance.
An extremely noble feeling.
He didn't tie his hair up, his long dark hair was just tied up casually with a ribbon.
The eyes that look at people are bottomless, making people feel like they might be pulled out and chopped at the next moment. He is calm and restrained, handsome and dignified, and the imperial majesty of his body makes people not even breathe consciously.
Lifted it up.
Seeing the emperor coming, the maids and eunuchs around the queen mother all knelt on the ground, bending down and bowing their heads.
"This slave sends greetings to your Majesty. May your Majesty be blessed."
"This slave sends greetings to your Majesty. May your Majesty be blessed."
"My slave, please send your greetings to your Majesty. May your Majesty be blessed."
"My slave, please send your greetings to your Majesty. May your Majesty be blessed."
Seeing the palace maid and eunuch kneeling on the ground, Yu Lan stood up from her chair, knelt down and saluted him.
"I send my regards to the Emperor."
Seeing Yu Lan salute him, Zhao Chengji walked closer to her, stretched out his hand to hold her hand, "No courtesy."
Yu Lan: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Chengji: "Yeah."
Feeling that he was gently squeezing her hand, Yu Lan was startled for a moment, and then she squeezed his hand as well, rubbing her fingers against his palm as a response.
Zhao Chengji lowered his eyes.
Feeling very good.
Letting go of Yu Lan's hand, Zhao Chengji walked to the Queen Mother and said, "I would like to send my regards to the Queen Mother."
"Get up quickly."
The Queen Mother said, reaching out and taking her son's hand.
He already understood in his heart why his son was here, but he said calmly on his face: "The emperor is not resting in the palace at the moment, why are you here at the Ai family?"
Looking up at his mother, Zhao Chengji said calmly: "It's been a long time since I've been to my mother's Shou'an Palace. Come and sit here."
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded after hearing this.
"Your Majesty is interested."
After he sat down, the palace maid came forward and poured him hot tea, then bowed down and bowed respectfully.
He picked up the tea and took a sip casually.
Looking up at her son, the Queen Mother couldn't help but ask what came to mind.
"My mother heard that you issued an order to kill the nine tribes?"
After hearing this, Zhao Chengji nodded lightly, "Well, I deserve to die."
The low voice spoke a fact calmly. But the person listening felt a chill on his back.
See him say this.
The Queen Mother also stopped asking.
Next, the mother and son briefly chatted for a few words.
After that, the Queen Mother said: "Okay, the Queen Mother is tired. Your Majesty just came back today, so she should go back to rest early."
Zhao Chengji nodded.
"Okay, I'll take my leave."
Standing up, when Zhao Chengji passed by Lan, he stretched out his hand and took the person away.
That's right, he is here to get people.
…
At the gate of Shouan Palace, the accompanying eunuchs were waiting there. Among them was Butler Ji, whom Yu Lan was familiar with. No, I should say, that was Eunuch Ji. He was indeed the steward, but he was not an ordinary steward, but the palace steward.
The chief eunuch here.
Yu Lan always felt that he spoke in a effeminate manner. It turned out that he was too small. Butler Ji was not a man, but a eunuch in the palace, so his voice sounded softer. However, although he was a eunuch, he was also a real person.
It's pretty good.
Seeing the emperor come out, Ji Wen, who was waiting next to Yu Hu, respectfully stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, you have to go back."
"You go back first."
Ji Wen was stunned and nodded respectfully, "Yes..."
It seemed that the emperor wanted to go alone with his wife and felt that they would be an eyesore by following them.
