Chapter 67: Why Do You Cut the West Window Candles Together?
"Ah sneeze..." Piaoxu rubbed her itchy nose and thought: You don't have a cold, do you?
The emperor turned his head nervously and pulled Piaoxu in front of him, "What's wrong? Are you infected with the cold?"
Piaoxu shook her head casually and said, "It's okay. Maybe I got wet from the rain when I came here just now."
"Here, put this on." The emperor took off his cloak and put it on her.
"Your Majesty, I'm fine, just wear it." Piaoxu took off the cloak.
"Obey!" the emperor said angrily.
"Yang He, you just promised me not to make me angry. You gave me your cloak, what will you do with your own cold?" Piaoxu also said angrily.
The emperor sighed, patted Piaoxu on the shoulder, pointed to the bed, and said: "Go to bed and take off your coat."
"What...what, go...to bed?" Piaoxu tightened her clothes vigilantly, "You...what do you want to do?"
The emperor looked at Piaoxu's nervous look, shook his head with a wry smile, stretched out his hand and tapped her head gently, and said: "I'm asking you to go to bed, take off your coat, and wrap it in a quilt to keep you warm.
One o'clock, where did you think you were, girl?"
Hearing what the emperor said, Piaoxu scratched her head in embarrassment and said, "Haha...that's it."
"Go ahead, I still have some memorials that I haven't finished approving." After saying that, he turned around and walked to the desk to continue approving the memorials.
Piaoxu climbed onto the bed, took off her wet coat, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and said to herself: "It's really much warmer this way."
Watching the emperor in front of the desk approving the memorial, frowning from time to time, and coughing constantly, Piaoxu found that she felt a little distressed.
"Your Majesty, could you please stop criticizing the memorial?"
The emperor looked up from the memorial and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"
"I'm bored to death. Would you like to come over and chat with me?"
The emperor put down the pen in his hand, walked to Piaoxu, approached her with a wicked smile, and said, "Yuqing, are you inviting me?"
Piaoxu shrank her neck unnaturally and said, "I'm just bored and want to find someone to chat with. Where did you want to go?"
The emperor sat down next to Piaoxu and said with a smile: "Then what do you want to talk about?"
Piaoxu moved her seat into the bed, patted her side, and said, "Your Majesty, please sit over here."
"Yuqing, doesn't this count as inviting me?"
"Then will you come up?" Piaoxu looked at the emperor with a wicked smile.
The emperor shook his head helplessly, sat next to Piaoxu, put his arm around her shoulders, and leaned against the bedside tiredly.
Piaoxu leaned on the emperor's shoulder with a smile, and thought to herself: I didn't expect that the feeling of leaning on his shoulder was quite good.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Prince Ning is going to rebel?" Piaoxu's tone was a little worried.
"Yes, Ah Hao has found out very clearly." The emperor felt helpless, after all, the other party was his brother.
"But isn't he your brother?"
"Brother?" The emperor smiled bitterly, "When did he consider me his younger brother?"
Piaoxu raised her head and saw the emperor frowning with a conflicted look on his face, and she felt uneasy in her heart.
"Your Majesty, let's not talk about this anymore. Let me tell you a joke." Piaoxu could only divert the emperor's thoughts and let him relax temporarily.
When the emperor heard what Piaoxu said, he also laughed and turned to ask her, "Can you tell jokes?"
"of course."
"Then tell me." The emperor looked interested.
Piaoxu left the emperor's arms and started to tell a joke facing the emperor, "One day, an elder sister was explaining the meaning of Chen Yu Luo Yan to her younger sister. The sister said, Chen Yu Luo Yan means that Xi Shi is so beautiful that even fish can't bear it.
I’m too embarrassed to come out, but I’ve sunk to the bottom. Your Majesty, what do you think the sister’s answer will be?”
"how to answer?"
"You can't even guess, so it's boring for me to say it alone." Piaoxu complained with dissatisfaction.
"Okay, let me guess!"
The emperor thought for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Yuqing, just tell me. I really can't guess."
Piaoxu smiled proudly at the emperor and said: "I knew you had no sense of humor at all. The sister replied that it was like that, no wonder I couldn't catch fish every time. How about it, Your Majesty, it's funny.
.Ha ha……"
The emperor was infected by Piaoxu's good mood. He touched Piaoxu's nose with his index finger and said with a smile: "Only a girl like you can think of such a narcissistic joke."
"It's not what I thought, I read it in a joke book."
"Joke book? Why haven't I heard of this kind of book?"
"Ah? That..." Piaoxu almost forgot that there was no such book in ancient times. She didn't know how to explain it for a while, so she had to say: "Actually, that's what I thought. How about it, Your Majesty, is it funny or not?
.”
“It’s so funny!”
"I will often tell you funny things in the future, so that you won't be as unhappy as you are today."
"As long as you are by my side, I will be happy even if you don't tell jokes!" The emperor looked at Piaoxu with a gentle look on his face.
Piaoxu's heart trembled a few times because of the emperor's explicit confession. She smiled unnaturally and said, "Well... Your Majesty, I feel like going to bed. Let's continue talking tomorrow." As she said,
He lay down with his back to the emperor.
The emperor looked at the unnatural expression on Piaoxu's face. He knew that Piaoxu was escaping from him. He did not force her. He knew that she needed time, and he would give her time, even if it was for a lifetime.
Piaoxu lay with her back to the emperor, frowning and thinking to herself: "Yang He, I'm sorry, I don't dare to give you my heart now." She knew deeply that the fate of women in the harem was unpredictable.
, In heaven today, she may be thrown into hell tomorrow. This is the sadness of being an emperor's woman. She doesn't want to become such a woman. Although the emperor likes her now, it does not mean that she will be like this for the rest of her life. Concubine Rong is not a very good person.
An example? She would never let herself become the second concubine Rong. However, she knew that her heart was beginning to hesitate bit by bit. When she saw the emperor's frown, she would become unhappy.
She would feel distressed when she saw the emperor coughing non-stop, and worried when she saw him worrying about Prince Ning's rebellion. In short, she found that she would soon be unable to control her heart.
