"As long as the emperor likes it." Mingyu's smile this time was much more genuine than before. After Hongli ate two pieces in a row, he said: "Your Majesty, what happened yesterday was because of my concubine. Don't get angry.
Is my concubine okay?"
Hongli was silent for a moment and said: "Let yesterday's things stay yesterday. I don't want to mention them again. The queen doesn't have to worry about anything. You are my queen and will always be."
Mingyu was slightly moved in her heart, and immediately said: "Actually, after I returned home, I thought about the emperor's words carefully. It was indeed that I misunderstood Concubine Xian. She did not alienate Concubine Xian and Yonglian. On the contrary, she loved Yonglian so much. Concubine Chen
You should be grateful to her."
Hongli asked in surprise: "Has the Queen really figured it out?" He had not told Mingyu about this matter before, but the latter was so confused that he didn't believe it, and he suddenly figured it out.
"I have already said it in front of the emperor, can there be any lies?" Mingyu's words made Hongli sweep away the haze in his heart, and said with a smile: "That's good, from now on you and Concubine Xian
Get along well, just like before."
"I will do it." Mingyu agreed, but also said with some worry: "On Concubine Xian's side, I wonder if she blames me for being cold before?"
"Concubine Xian is not a stingy person. All she needs to do is make her words clear. Otherwise... I will go and send Concubine Xian to you now. If we count the time, we should not be far away."
Mingyu said quickly: "No need, I will go and talk to Concubine Xian. Your Majesty, just rest assured."
Hongli did not force himself. After ordering the palace servants to pass on the meal, he said: "The queen will go back after dinner."
Mingyu was startled and blurted out: "Your Majesty, don't you want me to be by your side?"
Hongli smiled and said: "Where are you thinking? I have accumulated all the coupons for the whole day but haven't approved them today. I'm afraid you will have to stay up very late. How can you stay up late with me if you are not in good health? I will finish reading the coupons early tomorrow.
, and then go to Kunning Palace to accompany you, okay?"
Hearing what was going on, Mingyu felt relieved and said with a hint of coquettishness, "But I want to stay with the emperor for a while longer."
Hongli hesitated for a moment and said: "In that case, then you can stay here, but don't force it. If you are sleepy, go to bed first. I don't want to make you sick from exhaustion."
Mingyu smiled and bowed and said, "I obey your order."
That night, Mingyu stayed in the Yangxin Hall as she wished, but just after the second watch, she fell asleep in her chair. Hongli looked up and saw her sleeping face, smiled slightly, put down the ink pen in his hand, and gently
He walked down on his feet and carried her to the dragon couch in the bedroom. After covering her with a brocade quilt, his fingertips
Caressing the calm face, his eyes were filled with deep love. This was the queen he had personally chosen. She was gentle, kind, virtuous, and always kind to others. She never had any intention of harming others, even though she sometimes refused to listen.
I advise you, but you can figure it out afterwards and let go of your attachments, just like this time.
He whispered in the sleeping Mingyu's ear: "As long as I am the emperor, you will be my queen. No one can replace you, and you will be forever!"
In the next few days, every time Qi Kuan inquired about the news from the Jingshi Room, they all said that Hongli had gone to Kunning Palace, Jingren Palace, and Yanxi Palace, but he had never been there. Time and time again.
After being disappointed once, Zhichun couldn't help complaining: "The emperor was always reluctant to go to the queen's place before. Why has he gone there again and again now? I don't know what the queen said that night, which made the emperor's attitude change drastically."
.”
Xianyue held the warm tea cup and said leisurely: "The emperor's attitude has never changed."
Zhichun looked at her in confusion and said, "I don't understand."
"No matter how the queen contradicts the emperor, no matter what she says or does, the emperor will tolerate her and understand her, for no other reason than because she is a rich and powerful woman." There was an obvious hint of loneliness and unwillingness in Xianyue's words.
She was really unwilling to give in. She was better than Mingyu in terms of appearance, talent, and mental means, but the first thing Hongli saw in his eyes was always Mingyu. Back then, he promised himself all kinds of glory,
When he allowed himself to betray Amma, he set a limit - except for Mingyu.
She didn't meet the right person at the right place or at the right time, so she would always be inferior to Mingyu. But even if her encounter with Hongli was wrong and her affection for Hongli was wrong, she could only...
If I continue on this road, I hope the ending will not be too tragic!
Zhichun understood what she meant and muttered: "I really don't understand what's so good about the Queen. As for the slave, the master is much better than her."
Xianyue's eyes were slightly cold as she said, "Even I am not qualified to say this, let alone you. You are not allowed to say it again unless you want to bring disaster to me."
Zhichun's face turned pale and he said in a low voice, "I understand."
Xianyue said coldly: "Okay, you go down, it's enough to have A Luo and the others waiting on me."
After learning that Chun had gone out, Qi Kuan closed the palace door and said softly: "Master, don't blame Zhichun. She said that because she was not worthy of serving for the master. In fact, I have the same idea in my heart."
Xianyue stared at him and said: "You can think about it, but you can't say it. Zhichun's temperament is not as calm as the two of you, so I gave her a warning."
"Master, the Empress is now very close to Concubine Hui, and her opinion of you is getting bigger and bigger. I heard that the reason why Third Brother was raised by Concubine Jia is because the Empress did not agree with the Emperor's decision to send Third Brother
Brother sent her to Yanxi Palace. This servant is worried that one day, she will be used by Concubine Hui to deal with her master."
Xianyue shook her head and said: "Although the queen is soft-hearted and stubborn, one good thing about her is that she never uses tricks to harm others behind her back, so you don't have to worry about this."
Qi Kuan did not agree with this and said: "Master, forgive me for telling the truth, people will change. The Queen has not harmed anyone for more than 20 years before, but it does not mean that she will not harm anyone in the future, especially her
There is Concubine Hui next to you, I think you should be more careful."
"I know what I know." When Xianyue said this, A'luo's lips moved, but no sound came out. It was not until she was serving Xianyue to change her clothes that she whispered: "Master, Qi Kuan
What I said just now is not unreasonable. I think it is better to take the initiative than to be so passive."
Xianyue's expression turned cold and she stared at A Luo for a long time before saying, "You want me to deal with the Queen?"
"Yes." A Luo knew how shocking what she just said was, and it was precisely because of this that she waited until now to say it.
Xianyue stared at every expression change on A Luo's face and said slowly: "If you were not A Luo, I would definitely think that you wanted to use this matter to harm me. The queen's status in the emperor's heart should be very important to you.
It is clear that anyone who dares to do harm to the Queen will not have any chance of survival once the Emperor finds out."
