The Longju Palace was brightly lit, as bright as day. When Yan Susu arrived, Yuan Minrui was still reviewing the memorial.
The general manager asked Li De to go in and inform, and Yan Susu was waiting in the outer hall.
Li De came out quickly, said, "Miss Third, please go in," and then retreated outside the hall to wait.
Entering the inner hall, the stove was burning very brightly. There were a few sandalwood incense balls placed in the red dragon pattern incense burner, which dissipated the coke smell of the charcoal stove. However, perhaps because the window was not opened, the sandalwood incense was too strong.
It's not as good as it is, it's fragrant and has a bit of a stench.
As soon as Yan Susu entered, she choked several times.
Yuan Minrui, who was at his desk reviewing the memorial, heard her cough, pulled out of the memorial, and looked at her: "Are you infected with the cold?"
"No!" Yan Susu took a few steps forward and greeted him slightly, "Good luck to you, Your Majesty."
Her courtesy is something that happens every day. It only works when she remembers it, but it doesn't work when she doesn't. Yuan Minrui is also used to the occasional false courtesy to her.
"Get up! Why did you cough so hard just now?"
"It's so smokey in this room that I'm choking." She said bluntly.
"It's very smelly, why don't I feel it?" Yuan Minrui said, sniffing hard, and then shook his head, "I really don't feel it."
"Your sense of smell is tired. Otherwise, if you go to the outer hall for a while and come in again, I'm sure you will choke to death, cough, cough, cough!" After saying that, Yan Susu coughed a few more times. Yuan Minrui listened to her coughing, his eyebrows raised.
Wrinkling slightly, he stood up and shouted outside: "Li De, come in."
After Li De came in, he half-knelt on the ground respectfully: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"Open the transom for a while and then put out the incense burner."
"This... Your Majesty, it's very windy and snowy outside. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to open the window." Considering Yuan Minrui's physical condition, Li De advised.
Hearing this, Yan Susu chuckled: "Oh, there is no need to open the window, but the incense burner is still burning. Although the good sandalwood has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind, it will be reversed in the extreme. If you smell it too much, it will damage the olfactory organ.
"
"Organ? What is it?" Yuan Minrui was talking to Yan Susu on one side, and waved to Li De on the other. Li De immediately understood, stood up, put out the incense burner, and then retreated.
Yan Susu watched Li De go out and deliberately changed the topic: "Just let him wait in the house. Running in and out is enough to torment him." Why did he change the topic? Just because he wanted her to explain about organs.
She really didn't know how to explain it.
Yuan Minrui was successfully led away from the topic. He glanced at the door and shook his head: "When I'm reviewing my mistakes, I don't like people around me. It makes me feel uncomfortable."
"You have quite a lot of problems!" Yan Susu said casually, and only after speaking did she realize that she had gone too far. As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. This is not the case in the 21st century, where life is equal and free of speech. Misfortune comes from the mouth. She
Then he apologized for his rudeness, "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I did not mean to offend you."
"Get up, haven't you offended me enough? If I had to pick off your head, I would pick it off ten times. It's storming and snowing outside. You come here at this hour. If you have anything to do with me?"
Yuan Minrui didn't mind her offense, but he liked the way she spoke to him, which was frank and candid.
Hearing his question, Yan Susu thought about it a thousand times, and finally made a decision.
"Your Majesty, I came here to ask you for a reward. Since I cured your disease, you should give me some reward."
"Haha, what's the reward? I'll reward you with a beheading knife? Yan Susu, you are really brave!" In this case, any other woman would have been frightened to death. Only Yan Susu knew that Yuan Minrui
You're kidding yourself.
She also relaxed and no longer adhered to etiquette: "If the emperor allows me to chop off anyone's head, I will take the beheading knife."
She knew how to use tricks. Yuan Minrui threatened to chop off her head with a beheading knife, but she used the beheading knife as a token that anyone who stood in her way would be killed without mercy.
"Haha, Yan Susu, I found out that you are really courageous, so you will be convinced that I will not take your head. Do you know? In this world, the only person who dared to treat me like you was my father.
Emperor, you are the only one now!"
"Your Majesty, are you praising me or disparaging me? I don't dare to keep pace with the late emperor, but I heard that the emperor has clear rewards and punishments. Since I cured the emperor's disease, it can be regarded as a meritorious service. Asking for a reward should not be counted.
What!"
Yan Susu smiled and said, her delicate facial features were a bit charming in the room as bright as day, especially her bright eyes, which were even more lively and lively.
Yuan Minrui burst out laughing when he heard this. His face was like a monster, but because of its unbridled size, it was a bit more strong and soft.
"You have the guts to ask for a reward. Tell me, what do you want?"
"I want an imperial edict."
Yuan Minrui didn't expect that she didn't say anything concrete, but what she wanted was an imperial edict. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "What is the letter?"
"I was ordered to become a monk and enter the palace to become a female Taoist priest."
Yuan Minrui was listening to her talk about what she wanted with a smile, but when he heard her actually say it like this, his handsome face was suddenly startled, and then darkened: "What are you talking about?"
"No nonsense, I really mean it!" Yan Susu didn't say it was because she didn't want to marry Yuan Minxiang, but she knew that as smart as the emperor, how could he not guess her thoughts.
really.
"You don't want to marry your second brother, so you come up with such a trick that harms others and does not benefit yourself?"
Since he saw through it, Yan Susu didn't want to hide it: "Yes, that's it."
Yuan Minrui suddenly felt an unexpected joy in his heart, but his face still had a serious expression: "Royal marriage is actually child's play, and you can't tolerate such nonsense."
"I said I'm not fooling around. If you don't agree, you can force me to marry you. It doesn't matter who you marry anyway." Yan Susu said a little bit angrily. Why was she fooling around now?
The relationship between a man and a woman is basically a love between you and me. As time goes by, if we don't see eye to eye, we will fall apart.
Things that are so simple in modern times have to be so grinding, dragging, cutting, and messy here.
She actually thought they were fooling around. She told Yuan Minxiang many times that she had no intention of him, but he just ignored her.
Now that she has made it clear to the emperor that she does not want to marry, she is actually thought to be fooling around.
Hearing the anger in her tone, Yuan Minrui softened his tone: "Tell me, why don't you want to marry? Is it because you don't like my second brother, or do you have someone you like in your heart?"
When he asked this question, Yuan Minrui felt a trace of hope and a trace of fear in his heart.
He hoped that Yan Susu would tell her that she liked someone else, but he was afraid that this someone else was not him.
Normally, he only felt that he had special feelings for Yan Susu. It was not until today that he realized that these special feelings include gratitude for saving her life, admiration for her rejuvenation skills, and appreciation for her calm and refreshing temperament.
There is a liking for her neither humble nor arrogant attitude, but more, it is hidden and deep in my heart, love.
He expected Yan Susu to say that she also fell in love with him, so even if he was criticized by thousands of people, he would definitely break up their marriage. Unfortunately, he seemed to have too wonderful a vision.
"I don't have anyone I like, I just don't want to get married."
"Haha!" He laughed dryly, feeling sorry for himself. Yuan Minrui then straightened his expression and asked, "What do you think, second brother?"
"Of course he won't. If he wants to take the initiative to regret the marriage, why don't he wait for me to come and ask you, the Emperor? Your Majesty, you have two illnesses, and I will cure them for you. Isn't it okay to just exchange for a reward like this?"
, established since ancient times.
"When is your wedding?"
"After the new year, at the end of the first year."
"That's close." Yuan Minrui thought thoughtfully, "As the saying goes, forceful melons are not sweet. If you don't want to, I will arrange it. The wind and snow are too heavy tonight, and it is getting late at night, so you don't have to go back.
"
Even if he asked her to go back, she didn't want to go back.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Fu Shen thanked him for his kindness, and Yuan Minrui called Li De in and led Yan Susu to the side hall to rest. Along the way, Yan Susu was recalling Yuan Minrui's words.
"As the saying goes, forceful melons are not sweet. If you don't want to, I will arrange it."
Will he really arrange it?
I originally thought that requesting this imperial edict would be very troublesome, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Although he was told a few words of "nonsense", he agreed so easily. Even Yan Susu felt that this was not true and that he was dreaming.
Woolen cloth!
In the main hall of Longju Palace, Li De had sent Yan Susu back and was quietly beside Yuan Minrui.
"Li De, does the death anniversary of the late emperor fall on these days?"
Li De counted with his fingers and respectfully replied: "There are still seven days."
"Well, I know, you go down!"
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. I'll wait for you to have a rest!" Looking at the clock, it's almost midnight. Li Deping is responsible for taking care of Yuan Minrui's food and daily life. Yuan Minrui has just recovered from a serious illness, so he is taking care of her more and more.
Carefully, Yuan Minrui also glanced at Didi, nodded, and said in a slightly tired voice: "Yes!"
