Xuanyuan smiled coldly: "It's not that he doesn't remember, but he has never eaten rice cakes during the New Year, so he doesn't know at all that there is such a custom of eating rice cakes during the New Year. But he knows now that he didn't do it this year.
In the coming years, I will definitely try to do it."
"Seriously?" Luoxue smiled, sweeping away the previous sadness.
Only then did Xuanyuan Leng realize that he had actually been led by him to tell all the truth.
His eyes flashed, when would his Xueer start playing these little tricks?
But seeing her playing these little tricks with him, he was actually very happy.
There was a hint of joking in his eyes, and then he became very cold: "I never say empty words, it's just rice cakes. If the queen likes it, even if the imperial chef does it every day, it's just a simple thing!"
Seeing her face gradually darken, he smiled, his Xue'er always believed his words so easily: "And if the queen insists on specifying that she must do it, then that's fine, I can recruit the cook into the palace.
You can come here, or you can ask someone from the palace to make a special trip to buy it."
As he continued to speak slowly, the disappointment on Luoxue's face became more and more intense.
He lowered his head sadly.
"Okay, it's getting late, and I have to deal with some political matters." Xuanyuan Leng was relieved when he saw her waking up. In the past few days, he would arrange and deploy things for the month ahead.
He wanted to give her a big surprise.
"Yes." She responded softly, her watery eyes looking at the hidden man. He was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and looked so dazzling.
The innate majesty is clearly displayed in this dragon robe.
This man, the man she loves.
They once loved each other so much, but because of themselves, they were gradually drifting apart.
………………
Lantern Festival.
This day that she didn't want to look forward to came so quickly.
Sitting quietly in front of the mirror, the woman's face was full of confusion.
The palace was already feeling festive at this time.
It is said that a lantern festival was held in the imperial garden, and folk lanterns of various colors were brought into the palace. The curtain has just fallen, and tonight's banquet is about to begin.
This day is not only to celebrate the Lantern Festival, but also to celebrate the concubine Leng.
She didn't want to attend such a banquet.
But there is no choice, just because she is the queen, she must be present for the new concubine's worship.
Moreover, she is the master of the harem, and she decides and handles some affairs.
Qi Bao quietly put on makeup for the Queen.
Seeing the sad look on the queen's face, she also felt very sad: "My queen, if you feel unhappy, why not not go?"
When Luoxue heard Qi Bao's words, a wry smile appeared on her lips: "I'm fine."
"Are you really okay?" Qi Bao frowned and asked again. She didn't know why love was like this. The emperor and the empress clearly loved each other, but they each played a kind of game that she saw.
It's a weird trick.
Why……
"Yeah." She responded softly.
Qi Bao finally couldn't help but said: "The Queen, if you don't want to, just say something now, and I think the Emperor will definitely listen to the Queen."
Luoxue shook her head lightly. How could Leng listen to her words now?
After all, when she made up her mind to ask him to take a concubine, all the love faded away.
And at this time, how could she go out to obstruct it?
She should be happy to see all this...
I took a deep breath, trying to make myself look less bitter, but found that it was very difficult.
"Things have changed..."
She only said this sentence.
Qi Bao, on the other hand, sighed secretly in her heart. She didn't understand. The emperor clearly loved the queen so much and secretly prepared all the affairs for her, but why didn't he let the empress know?
"Perhaps, the emperor has ulterior motives and does not really want to accept a concubine?" Qi Bao did not want to see the queen so sad, so he secretly revealed something, hoping that the queen would understand.
Luoxue heard Qi Bao's implication and looked at her: "Do you know anything?"
Qi Bao's face was calm and unruffled. He quickly fixed the bun with his hands, then picked up the nine-beaded phoenix hairpin on the table and inserted it into it.
Then he answered Luoxue: "I didn't hear anything, but I see that the emperor loves you so much. It's impossible for me to say that I don't love you because of this little thing."
The Emperor had ordered that the Empress should not know about this matter, so she could only keep it secret. The little revelation just now was already a bit bad, and she could no longer make it clear.
Luoxue was a little disappointed when she heard Qi Bao's words. She thought Qi Bao knew something and would say this.
turn out to be……
She sighed softly, stood up slowly, let Qibao put on the bright red phoenix robe for her, and then walked towards the imperial garden.
From a distance, the sound of silk and bamboo music has reached my ears.
The entire garden path is hung with colorful lights, which looks really beautiful.
Lotus lanterns, tiger head lanterns, octagonal lanterns......
There were lanterns of various colors, and for a moment, it felt like walking at the Beijing Lantern Festival in previous years, except that at that time there were crowds of people coming and going, but now, it seemed a little quiet.
Although the people in the palace were also infected with joy, they did not dare to be presumptuous and remained cautious and humble when walking.
When we arrived at the banquet, everyone had already arrived.
During the banquet, ten fancy concubines who were about to enter the palace were sitting upright on the left and right of Xuanyuan Leng.
And Xuanyuan Leng, with a casual smile on his face, leaned lazily under the seat, his eyes moving, and his hand gently twisting a jade cup. He looked very elegant.
But this scene hurt her eyes.
Looking at the beauties on his left and right embracing each other, the situation was very dazzling.
I really want to turn around and leave, so that I don’t have to feel this embarrassing and sad atmosphere, even if it is a disgrace...
However, before anyone arrived, those eyes were already looking at her.
In the end, he still didn't turn around and left, but went straight towards the banquet.
His eyes were still so beautiful, long, narrow and distant. They were full of wisdom and proud majesty, as well as bottomless tenderness.
But that tenderness seemed to be gradually leaving her.
On both sides of him, there were ten concubines, each with their own beauty. Some were as gentle as water, like Jiangnan in March, and some were as gorgeous as flowers. All the love and sweetness of spring were displayed before his eyes, and those eyes looking at him
Among them, there is also a fiery enthusiasm, and some are dignified and generous, sitting there with a slight smile.
Although these women have different colors, they are all tall and extremely beautiful.
Sitting there, eyes running softly, looking at him with tenderness.
What about him?
Have you fallen in love with one of them?
He gritted his teeth, not daring to look deeply for fear of being even more sad. He lowered his eyebrows and walked towards the empty seat next to him.
