Chapter 30 Aren’t they sleeping in separate rooms?
After saying that, she ordered someone to bring up a screen to cover He Yanyan and Li Zimo. Then, as the imperial doctor hurried over, He Yanyan took a deep breath and took off her veil.
Bian Xiao kept wondering what the scene was like, but he couldn't see He Yanyan's face at all.
But it was Li Zimo's expression that made him see it clearly.
The young man looked worried at first, but when the veil was removed, a smile appeared on Li Zimo's face, and a blush crept up to his ears.
Putting down his chopsticks unhappily, Bian Xiao asked, "How is the princess's injury?"
The imperial doctor did not dare to hide anything and quickly came out to report: "Returning to the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, and the Regent, the injuries on the Princess's face... have healed..."
"Impossible!" Upon hearing this, Ye Siying lost her composure, "How could it be okay? When I saw her before, my face was so rotten, how could it be okay so quickly!"
"Yes," the emperor raised his eyebrows, "If the princess's face has already healed, why did she refuse to take off the veil just now when she was asked to do so? Isn't it deceiving the emperor?"
The imperial doctor knew that he could not explain anything, so he could only have the screen carried away.
Behind the screen, a gust of wind blew, carrying the fragrance of flowers. He Yanyan stood up and said, "My concubine's face has been covered with medicinal powder and has not been replaced. Therefore, I don't know that the injury has healed. Please forgive me, the Queen Mother."
!”
After saying that, everyone's eyes were focused on the woman's peerless appearance.
"this……"
"As expected of the princess of the Qianglan Kingdom, she is like a fairy descending from heaven..."
"Demon but not glamorous, charming but not vulgar... They say that it was the regent who went to the Qianglan Kingdom to ask for a marriage, which shows that what he said is true!"
"..."
The criticisms that had been chattering before suddenly stopped when he saw He Yanyan. Li Zimo was a little absent-minded, but when he saw that the Queen Mother had not spoken for a long time, he quickly went up to help:
"The Queen Mother, I think it was unintentional for the mother and concubine to come here. Please don't blame the Queen Mother! Now that the disease has been cured, this is really an added blessing!"
As soon as Li Zimo spoke, the Empress Dowager showed no sign of being angry. She nodded twice: "What Zimo said makes sense! In that case, several princes are also staying in the palace today. Let's congratulate each other tonight. The Ai family may not be together for a long time.
Let’s talk to Xiaoer!”
Seeing that the Empress Dowager showed no sign of anger, He Yanyan breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to look at Li Zimo and cast a grateful look, while Bian Xiao looked at the two people's glances back and forth with a gloomy face——
Even if the injury is healed, why don’t you tell me?
Did you even hide this from me?
Bian Xiao did not enjoy the meal at the palace banquet, so he stayed overnight and was called to the palace by the Empress Dowager to give him a lecture.
"Xiao'er, the Ai family never interferes in your family affairs, but this Ye Siying is really not suitable to serve in the palace, how could you..."
Bian Xiao knew he was in the wrong, but he couldn't tell his true intention, so he could only prevaricate: "Your Majesty, your son and Yingying also truly love each other."
"Really love each other?" After hearing this, the Queen Mother sneered twice as if she had heard a joke, "You just became the regent and said you wanted to marry the princess of Qianglan Kingdom. You thought it was because you had admired her since childhood.
I have been a woman for a long time, but didn’t it prove that she wasn’t in the end? Even so, the princess didn’t complain at all after she got married, so you should be satisfied!”
As soon as Bian Xiao heard about this incident, he felt strange, but he did not say anything. After being beaten by the Empress Dowager, Bian Xiao felt that his legs were numb.
"Wang," Qi Haoxuan quickly followed after seeing Bian Xiao's call, "But what's the trouble?"
Bian Xiao shook his head: "Haoxuan, there is something that I always find strange."
"What?"
"At the beginning, the reason why I went to the Qianglan Kingdom to propose marriage was because I had met a woman when I was a child. The woman had saved my life, so I wanted to marry her and return to my country to enjoy the glory and wealth. But on that day, I married
Later, I discovered that the princess was not the one I wanted, so I ordered you to go out and look for her, but you didn’t find a suitable candidate, right?"
Qi Haoxuan nodded. It was precisely because on the wedding day that Bian Xiao ignored his beautiful wife and wanted to leave the palace to find another woman, he felt something was wrong:
"Exactly. At that time, I searched for a long time, but there was no suitable woman in the Qianglan Kingdom."
Bian Xiao had never thought that He Yanyan was the girl who had saved him, but he really didn't know why He Yanyan wanted to hide this matter. If he didn't explain it clearly to himself, he had no choice but to give up.
He returned to Shiquan Palace to rest with his thoughts in mind, but when he came back, only Ye Siying came out to greet him.
"Where's the princess?"
Looking at the woman who fell into his arms, Bian Xiao pushed away in disgust and asked.
Ye Siying unhappily nestled on the man's chest and acted coquettishly: "He Yanyan and Li Zimo went out to enjoy the plum blossoms and were not in the palace."
"With Li Zimo?" Bian Xiao didn't know when he had such a good relationship with the princess. "Where can I go to enjoy the plum blossoms?"
Ye Siying shook her head: "Yingying doesn't know. Wang, Yingying is a little tired, let's take a rest early!"
The woman held Bian Xiao's arm to prevent him from leaving. Bian Xiao was ready to play tricks, but since the palace was full of people from the emperor, he could only swallow his anger and said: "You rest first, I will read a book for a while."
By the way, wait for these two!
Li Zimo took He Yanyan to the back garden, where the plum blossoms were in full bloom, and the faint fragrance was soothing to the body and mind.
"Concubine, if you like these plum blossoms, how about I pick some and bring them back to the palace?"
Because Bian Xiao didn't like flowers and plants, the palace was always bare. He Yanyan looked at the plum blossoms in Li Zimo's hand that were in full bloom, but she didn't refuse: "Then find some flowers. They will bloom by then."
It can take longer!”
The two of them walked in the plum garden for who knows how long. It was only when the snow fell heavily that they remembered to go back.
"Mother, be careful of catching a cold."
Li Zimo took off his coat and put it on He Yanyan. After sneezing, He Yanyan thanked him.
When the two returned to Shiquan Palace, they thought everyone had rested. He Yanyan tiptoed and tried to sneak back into the room, but a figure walking out of the study stopped them: "Princess, Zimo, why are you going so late?"
Where is it?"
Seeing Bian Xiao's smiling face, He Yanyan pursed her lips and said, "Wang, my concubine and Zimo went to pick some plum blossoms. We don't want to play too long and miss the time."
Li Zimo smiled and came closer to Bian Xiao: "My father is not sleeping either? My father is sick. Don't catch a cold if it snows."
Looking at the gown draped around He Yanyan, Bian sighed deeply: "Zimo, you should go to rest early. I and your mother and concubine are also going to bed."
After saying that, he came to He Yanyan, took the woman's hand and was about to enter the house.
