Zhong Yanyu squeezed out an ugly smile when he heard the words, “Yes, as your majesty thought, I just miss my father and brother. I made a mistake. I shouldn’t write a letter of divorce…” Thunder and lightning rumbled, and the whole world was reeling in the heavy
rain ——Jing
Guhan finished handling the government affairs, went to court early, and dealt with a few old officials, he didn’t care to take off his complicated dragon robe, so he walked in a hurry towards the direction of Qianqing Palace.
The eunuchs and maids behind him had to trot to keep up with him, but they didn’t dare to make any noise, the atmosphere was so quiet that it almost froze.
Jiang Xinyue saw them and was about to go up to say hello, but Jing Guhan ignored them.
“Your Majesty—” Jiang Xinyue yelled, but Jing Guhan didn’t even stop, and she was laughed at by Concubine Xi who followed behind.
“Concubine Jiang, Your Majesty is really good. Seeing such a living person like you, I don’t know how to be more compassionate.”
Jiang Xinyue turned her head and glared at her. As a concubine, I should also know how to care about Your Majesty.”
Although Xi’s status is lower than Jiang Xinyue’s, she is not afraid of her. Life in the palace isn’t too bad either.
As for Jiang Xinyue, a mere concubine, she was reduced to serving others in Israel, fighting for favor with all her heart.
“The concubine naturally cares about His Majesty, and the Empress Dowager is still calling the concubine to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to take care of Your Majesty tonight.” Concubine Xi calmly stroked her hair, glanced at her proudly, and said softly, “
Mr. The concubine is not like other people, she wants to use some tricks, and she looks like a lowly child who is dissatisfied all day long.”
Jiang Xinyue tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and gave the woman a bitter look, “Sister Xipin was joking, who came to this palace not to serve His Majesty and relieve his worries? It doesn’t matter what it is, if it makes His Majesty happy .”
Who is nobler than whom? ! Not all for power! Her Jiang family wants to use her to blow the pillow wind and shine the family, isn’t it the Xi family?
Jiang Xinyue sneered, “I heard that His Majesty is very dissatisfied with the work of the Minister of Rites recently, and he was very angry a few days ago in the early court. If Concubine Xi is so free to care about other people’s affairs, it is better to care about family affairs first. !”
After saying this, she got up and left here, leaving only Xi Ting with a slightly changed expression.
When approaching Qianqing Palace, Jing Guhan didn’t let anyone report, but left them all outside. He stepped forward step by step and walked into the room.
“Yanyu…” He gently hugged the young man from behind, his eyes were tender, and he kissed the red lips, “I let your father and elder brother go, and now they have all returned to the mansion.” Zhong Yanyu’s expression moved slightly
, Put down your things.
Jing Guhan’s eyes fell on those needles and threads, “Is Yanyu embroidering in the morning?”
Zhong Yanyu nodded slightly, but still didn’t say a word.
Jing Guhan was not annoyed, and stroked his face, “I remember you sent purses to both Zhong Chuxun and Zhong Yanqing, and even that guy from Lindu, how about Yanyu embroidering one for me too?” Zhong Yanyu lowered her eyes
. , Replied lightly: “The craftsman is unfamiliar, it is difficult to enter the elegant hall, Your Majesty, think twice.”
Jing Guhan’s expression dimmed, and he took the man’s hand, “Yanyu, there are only two of us here, you don’t have to care about the courtesy of the monarch and his ministers.” It’s… besides, it’s mainly you who made it, and I like it all.”
He couldn’t help thinking about the future of the two of them, “I’ve already figured out a way to get you back to the queen’s position, I just need your cooperation.” The man rubbed the boy’s cheek, his eyes were deep and long, “You tell
me , how did you leave the palace?”
He interrogated all the insiders, even Zhong Yanyu’s cronies had no way of knowing. During that time, the palace was surrounded by iron barrels. How did his canary fly? Out of the cage?
He likes Zhong Yanyu, and he doesn’t allow such danger.
Yanyu should be his, and it will be his for the rest of his life.
His eyes dimmed, his magnetic voice was full of coaxing, even with the coercion of an emperor, “Yanyu, tell me, okay?”
He kissed and bit the red lips delicately, his eyes full of possessiveness fell on On his angelic face, the young man with red lips and white teeth couldn’t breathe steadily, but the man held his hands tightly and couldn’t move.
Jing Guhan thought about it countless times, once again occupying the boy’s posture, but when his eyes touched the disgust in the boy’s eyes, his heart ached.
As if being splashed with cold water on his head, he also became less interested.
Why, why did they come to this step——
Zhong Yanyu’s hand on the table, fingertips turned white, panted and said: “I accidentally discovered that there is a secret passage in the Qiutong Courtyard of the Leng Palace…”
So that’s it.
Jing Guhan curled his lips into a smile, and instead of blaming him, he rubbed his head, “It’s okay, I know you’re homesick, and I’ll follow you back to Zhongfu tomorrow.” “Thank you, Your Majesty.”
Zhong Yanyu felt that her waist was loose With some strength, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“I don’t need your thanks, we are husband and wife, right?” Jing Guhan’s eyes dimmed, he nestled on the young man’s shoulder and neck, biting and kissing each other’s swan neck, couldn’t help wanting…
“Tuk-tuk-tuk!”
There was a knock on the door, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere, and Jing Guhan looked at the palace door with an uneasy expression.
“What’s the matter?”
His tone was condensed, who would dare to disturb his alone time with Yanyu? ! He managed to coax the people to change their minds, who is so blind.
“Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager invited you to the Palace of Compassion and Peace. She said she had something important to discuss with you. The Empress Dowager’s personal nuns are waiting outside.” Xu Chen said tremblingly.
Zhong Yanyu seemed to have found an excuse, and tidied up Jing Guhan’s clothes, “Now it’s time for lunch, since the Empress Dowager has something to ask Her Majesty, Your Majesty should hurry over.
” Ruyu’s son.
Feeling the lightness in the young man’s tone, Jing Guhan’s heart felt a little blocked.
He couldn’t help stroking the boy’s cheek, “Yanyu, are you so happy that I’m gone?”
His voice was very shallow and soft, like an ordinary question, but Zhong Yanyu could feel the man’s dissatisfaction And a trace of anger.
His movements stopped, and he lowered his head, “Your Majesty was joking, I am thinking of you.” It would be of no benefit to him to provoke Jing Guhan.
Jing Guhan narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, “I hope so.”
Zhong Yanyu watched them leave without saying a word.
In fact, Jing Guhan knew all about it, but he didn’t want to admit it, they couldn’t go back to the beginning, what’s the use of deceiving themselves and others?
Xu Chen entered slowly, seeing the young man in white, his heart trembled slightly, maybe even he couldn’t imagine what it would be like to be alive?
He really wanted to step forward to take a closer look, but due to his status, he had to bow his head and remain silent.
“The emperor sent servants to take care of the mother’s daily life.” He said respectfully.
Zhong Yanyu raised his eyes to look at him, “I don’t like to be accompanied by others, go out and wait outside.” Xu Chen couldn’t follow
his orders, “Your Majesty asked the slaves to serve the empress personally, and they can’t leave the sight.”
Dun, “Your Majesty really has a heart.” They are all on guard against him getting to this point, are they afraid that he will run away again?
Nothing happened in the palace, so he embroidered his purse again.
Originally, these things like embroidery should be done by the female relatives. It is difficult for a man to tell about embroidery, but his mother passed away when he was young, and the female relatives in the family only have a few slaves and a nanny.
At that time, he liked to be quiet, but his eldest brother was a noisy master, he was proficient in climbing trees, throwing horses and fighting. In the morning, a clean young man went out, and in the afternoon, he came back with a mud monkey.
No matter how many clothes there are, they can’t stand people’s tossing. Every time I see broken clothes, my eldest brother must have gone to fight with someone again, so every time he is reprimanded by his father and slaps his palms, he cries hard. At that time, he came up with an idea to mend the clothes for others secretly, so that Father wouldn’t notice, so he wouldn’t beat his elder brother’s palm.
He recruited an embroidered mother into the mansion, but the eldest brother didn’t want to be laughed at, and he didn’t mend the embroidered mother, for fear that she would complain in front of his father and slap his palm.
Simply sewing is simple, so he learned from his embroiderer for a while, and gradually became more comfortable, and even embroidered some things, so he made some for his eldest brother and father.
Thinking of this, he lowered his eyes. In his previous life, his father and brother were exiled for thousands of miles, and it was a bitter cold place. There was no one to take care of them. How could they survive?
He didn’t want the other party to suffer this kind of innocent disaster again, his father was already in his sixties, so he should enjoy his old age in peace.
In the Palace of Mercy Ning, Jing Guhan accompanied the Queen Mother to finish her lunch, and he helped the old man to the couch.
“I don’t know why the queen mother called the children here?” He raised his eyes to look at the person, and pursed his thin lips.
The queen mother raised her forehead and opened her eyes, “Aijia wants to talk to you about the emperor’s heir. Besides, the harem cannot be without a master. Do you have a candidate for the queen in your heart?” The queen mother thought that Zhong Yanyu could not ruin the peace of the harem because of one Zhong Yanyu
. At this time, she still doesn’t know the news of Zhong Yanyu’s return.
She looked indifferent, “The Ai family knows that you have complaints in your heart, but there are so many concubines in the harem, you have to choose one.”
Jing Guhan nodded slightly when he heard the words, “The empress mother is right, after a few days, the palace will automatically concubines.” There will be a queen.”
Concubine Xi pinched her head, saw the bright yellow figure, and immediately saluted.
“Blessings to the Empress Dowager, long live the Emperor.”
The Empress Dowager’s eyes flashed brightly, and she called her to come over, “It’s been hard for Concubine Xi to accompany Ai’s family to worship the Buddha recently, come and sit down.”
Xi Ting smiled and found a place close to her. Jing Guhan’s position, “It’s not the kindness of the empress dowager, besides, praying for the ancestors is the duty of a concubine.”
Her drunkenness does not mean wine, her eyes secretly fell on the tall man, a crescent moon appeared on the corner of her lips, if she could get Jing Guhan’s pity, that would be good.
Just now when she walked in, she heard Jing Guhan’s words, and thought that although her status was lower than Jiang Xinyue’s, she came from a famous family.
If Jing Guhan wants to establish Jiang Xinyue as the empress, the civil and military officials will definitely advise against it, and when she goes back later, she will write a letter to her family and ask her mother to help.
Since the behavior of the Queen Mother reveals her love for Xi Ting, it’s not that Jing Guhan can’t see it.
“Concubine Xi has been in the palace for a while, and there is hard work without credit. You have worked hard after being filial to your mother.” The man
pursed his thin lips, his eyes dimmed, “Let me make you a concubine.”
Hearing this, Concubine Xi’s eyes flickered After a touch of surprise, “Thank you, Your Majesty, my concubine will serve Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager more wholeheartedly in the future.”
Jing Guhan did not miss the woman’s ambition, and thought of finding out a lot of bad things about the Ministry of Rites, but he punished him a few days ago The Minister of Rites rewarded Xi Ting today in order to stabilize Xi’s family. ?
Chapter 60 Even if you lie, Zhong Yanyu, give me some kind deception as a comfort, okay? Zhong Yanyu thought that
Jing Guhan would not be able to come back tonight, but when he was about to turn off the lights and take a rest, the man with the wind and snow cold would be so big step in.
“Your Majesty.”
He saluted, and Jing Guhan waved his hand, letting Xu Chen and others go out, his stern face was illuminated by the candlelight, but there was a trace of softness.
“I’ve said it several times, you don’t need to perform these vain rituals in private.” He helped him up, stepped forward to hug her, kissed the red lips, his eyes dimmed.
“Is Yanyu happy? I will come to accompany you tonight.”
Zhong Yanyu replied against his will, “Happy.”
Jing Guhan rubbed his hands, with a smile in his eyes, “It’s getting dark today, and it’s snowing again. I’m afraid that Yanyu will be lonely at night, so I came back early.”
He stretched out his hand and put a brand new ruby ​​ring on Zhong Yanyu’s finger, “The previous one was accidentally broken by me, so I made a new one, Yanyu, take a look, do you like it?”
He slightly curled his lips into a smile, and when his eyes touched the expression of the young man who was neither happy nor sad, his smile paused slightly, and he clenched his hand tightly.
“Doesn’t Yanyu like it? Then I will order someone to make another one.”
Zhong Yanyu looked at the ruby ​​ring in her hand. The blood-red phoenix was lifelike, forming a circle, exquisite and beautiful, and it could be seen that the craftsman was useless. A lot of effort.
He shook his head, “That’s fine, no need.”
So what if it looks good? It’s just that the shackles put on a gorgeous shell, which indicates that he will never escape from this deep palace.
Jing Guhan noticed the perfunctory in his tone, his eyes sank, and he stepped forward and asked: “Yanyu, you like it very much, don’t you?”
Zhong Yanyu mocked lightly, “It doesn’t matter if you like it or not, Your Majesty likes it.” That’s good.”
This was specially made by craftsmen, although the time was short, but Jing Guhan was very concerned, he was full of expectations to get Zhong Yanyu’s praise, but now he feels very uncomfortable.
He really wanted to ask, do you dislike the things he gave you, or did you dislike things or people?
But he knew that once he said this,
he might be asking for trouble—”I really want to restore the previous relationship with Yanyu, Yanyu, tell me, how will you return to my arms?”
Even if you lie, Zhong Yanyu, give me some kind deception as a consolation, okay?
Jing Guhan softened his words, he didn’t realize the pleading and humbleness in his tone, he leaned down and rubbed the boy’s cheek, deliberately ignoring the boy’s stiff and repulsive figure.
Zhong Yanyu’s face was tense, and he backed away slightly, “Your Majesty was joking.”
He thought Jing Guhan was messing around, but Jing Guhan was relentless, and his deep black eyes took his dodge into his eyes.
“Is that why you don’t want to see me?” The man was slightly annoyed.
Zhong Yanyu took a deep breath and remained silent for a while.
To not speak is to acquiesce, and silence is the most irresistible atmosphere, Jing Guhan took away his pity hand, shook his sleeves and left, leaving only a lonely chill in the air.
Xu Chen watched His Majesty walk away and entered the Qianqing Palace, but saw Zhong Yanyu smash the ring into pieces.
“Your Majesty!”
Xu Chen immediately knelt down, thinking to himself, why did the emperor go in for a while, and the two of them had an awkward fight?
“It’s nothing, you ordered someone to boil the bathtub in the backyard, I’m going to take a bath.” Zhong Yanyu quickly calmed down.
Looking at the ruby ​​ring, he became angry. The divorce letter he wrote earlier was given to Jing Guhan, and now he sent back the ruby ​​ring. What is the meaning of this?
Is it a warning, or an insult?
After fighting in the army for two years, he is also somewhat bloody. Today he should coax Jing Guhan, but he still can’t hold back his anger!
That silent silence was his only resistance.
Jing Guhan returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but when he heard the secret guard say that Yanyu smashed the ring he gave him, he was furious.
He put the cup down heavily, “What the hell! Isn’t I coaxing him enough?! I didn’t care about his bullying, and let him play outside for two years, what would he do?!” “
Yes It’s not that I’m willing to give him the throne!”
Seeing the angry tone of the man, the dark guard hurriedly said, “Perhaps it’s because the empress returned for a while, so it’s understandable that she couldn’t adapt to her status…” The
dark guard was stupid, and didn’t know what to do. How to find an excuse, looking at Jing Guhan, who is even more angry, at a loss.
The scene two years ago is vivid in my memory, the blood on the corner of the master’s mouth is particularly eye-catching, and now it’s even more difficult to keep their heads if they get angry.
Jing Gu’s cold eyes fell on the memorial, “Since he doesn’t want to be the empress, there must be someone willing!”
Jiang Xinyue was shocked when she secretly found out that there was a person living in the Qianqing Palace.
“What’s the matter? The emperor is so good, how could he let other people live in the Qianqing Palace?!”
She dealt with the affairs of the harem in the past few days, and found that the emperor sent all kinds of good things in, and whenever the majesty was nourishing his heart While in the palace, the charcoal fire in the Qianqing palace kept on…
Xu Chen waited there again, you must know that the other party is Jing Guhan’s personal eunuch, who would be worthy of His Majesty’s care?
She felt that her position was being threatened –
“Chuntao, go to the storeroom and get some bird’s nests, and follow me to the Qianqing Palace.” She ordered immediately, but when she got there, she was in vain.
“Concubine Jiang, the emperor has accompanied someone to play outside the palace, you should put down the tonic and go back to rest first.” Seeing her coming to meet someone, Xu Chen said slowly.
Jiang Xinyue frowned, her head swayed in the wind and snow, “Then do you know when the two will return?”
The emperor actually accompanied someone out of the palace? ! Who is it? She didn’t know the other party’s news at all!
“Does Eunuch Xu know where they went? When will they come back?” She asked with a steady mind.
Xu Chen raised his eyes slightly, and smiled, “Concubine Jiang, the miscellaneous family is just a slave, how can I know the whereabouts of the emperor.” “How can
Xu Gonggong not know…” She wanted to ask again.
Since Xu Chong retired, Xu Chen is now in charge of the eunuch affairs in the palace. As a celebrity around the emperor, Xu Chen must know something.
“Eunuch Xu, I don’t know what sister the emperor brought back? I am now in charge of the harem, so I should make preparations earlier to relieve your majesty’s worries.”
Xu Chen glanced at her and curled his lips slightly, “Concubine Jiang, don’t worry . Xin, this empress is a noble person with golden branches and jade leaves, and the emperor personally takes care of it, so it is good for the empress to do her duty well.”
He naturally bent his waist slightly, with a delicate face, although he was smiling, there was also a sense of oppression.
“Your Majesty dislikes other people’s prying into privacy the most. Your Majesty should know that too. If you ask too much, I’m afraid it will only displease Your Majesty.” His words came to this point. How could
Jiang Xinyue continue to ask, so she could only leave bitterly. .
Her eyes were sharp, and she squeezed her handkerchief tightly. When she was far away, she turned her head to her personal maid and said, “Send some people to guard at the gate of the palace. When you see His Majesty’s carriage coming back, send someone to tell me immediately. Palace.”
She wanted to see which little bastard would win His Majesty’s favor before her!
In the Zhong Mansion, Zhong Yanyu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his father and brother safe and sound, “Brother, Daddy.”
“It’s good to be back.” Zhong Chuxun responded, wanting to tell him what he said, but he saw his side The dog thing, I can only swallow it first.
“Lunch is ready, good boy, go in first.” Father Zhong welcomed him into the living room, and when his eyes fell on Jing Guhan, he just nodded in greeting.
“Your Majesty, please come in too.” The tone was polite and distant.
Which is more important, anyone can tell, the bodyguard wanted to reprimand him, but was stopped by Jing Guhan.
Zhong Yanqing brought him inside, “Ayu must have suffered a lot during this time, eat more meat.” After
only a few days in the palace, he lost a lot of weight. He also felt a little distressed, but facing the supreme imperial power, He can’t do anything.
He felt that it would have been nice if Ayu hadn’t entered the palace for them at the beginning, they would have suffered a little bit, but my younger brother would have been fine.
“Your Majesty, sit down.” Father Zhong looked up at him and said slowly.
Jing Guhan sat beside Zhong Yanyu calmly, “Marshal Zhong, let’s have dinner first.”
Zhong Yanyu came here this time mainly to see if his father and brother are well. He owed enough in his previous life, and he couldn’t just watch the two of them suffer.
He didn’t eat or sleep, and Jing Guhan knew where he was, so the three of them couldn’t let go, so they found an excuse to go to the garden of Zhongfu.
When Jing Guhan had just left, Zhong Yanqing asked about Zhong Yanyu’s current situation.
“Has the emperor punished you?” He looked at the boy worriedly.
Zhong Yanyu shook her head, “He didn’t care about my cheating death. If he asks about this matter, you have the right to pretend that you don’t know about it, and you can reduce the damage, but I don’t understand how he knows that I’m still alive… …”
Zhong Yanqing told the story of Lin Du’s drunkenness that day, “Don’t worry, Jing Guhan is still afraid of the military power of the Zhong family, my father and I will protect you well.” Zhong Chuxun who was beside him raised his head and
drank The next sip of wine seemed to have made some major decision.
“Brother Yu, good boy, you have suffered in the palace for the past few days, and Daddy will definitely rescue you.” Zhong Chuxun hugged him and patted him on the back comfortingly.
He narrowed his old eyes slightly, thinking about the bargaining chip with Jing Guhan.
Zhong Yanyu shook his head, “Daddy doesn’t have to take risks for me. After this time, Jing Guhan won’t let me go easily.”
Just looking at the guards around him now, the size has increased by more than three times, and the inside and outside of the Qing Palace The eunuchs and maids are all under the eyeliner of Jing Guhan.
Zhong Chuxun made a decision in his heart, “You have to try…”
At this time, Jing Guhan in the garden looked at the plum blossoms in the courtyard in a trance. something to see?
What he cared about was Zhong Yanyu.
“It’s snowing heavily today. His health was not good when he was young. I don’t know if he was injured at the border. The deserted place in Xuanhu City must be shocking.” have a look.
Besides, Liu Zhi also said earlier that Yanyu still has a cold illness, did she ever have an attack?
He lowered his sword eyebrows, and with such associations, the worry in his heart deepened.
