Chapter 126
"Is the lady up yet?"

Dongyue shook her head, stared wide-eyed, and looked at the two extra bonsai in the yard, "What is this for?"

Xiao Guizi smiled and said, "These are orchids specially cultivated by the greenhouse. Your Majesty said to send two pots to the empress to add color."

"What color?" Nan Zhen rubbed her eyes and walked over, "Green?"

Before Xiao Guizi could speak, she said to herself again, "Very good, I like green."

"It's as long as the empress likes it," Xiao Guizi saluted, "Your Majesty asked the servant to come over and pass a message, and invite the empress to go to the Zichen Hall during lunch."

These days, he ran out of limbo more times than usual.

Originally, it would be the same to send a little eunuch here casually, but he decided to go there himself.

After all, Empress Li is different to His Majesty, and he has to be careful in serving her.

Nan Zhen nodded, moved her aching waist, and remembered what happened last night.

"One thing to trouble you."

Xiao Guizi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, tell me."

"Here are two pieces of cloth, can you say hello to Dongyue and make some clothes for her?"

Xiao Guizi: "No problem, the servant will order people to go down immediately."

He delivered the message and got the job again. Dongyue sent him out, but found that he glanced at himself from time to time, and couldn't help asking, "What is the father-in-law looking at?"

"Seeing that you are a fool, you are a fool."

"..."

Xiao Guizi sighed, "Let's not say it's you, even the concubine Xian and the concubine Duan may not have this blessing."

"hey-hey."

Dongyue scratched her head embarrassingly, "Hello, Madam."

Seeing that she had already reached the door, Xiao Guizi signaled her to stop, and left quickly with the two young eunuchs.

Nan Zhen arrived at the Zichen Hall just in time for her meal, and as soon as she stepped on the threshold, she saw Xiao Rongxi sitting at a low table practicing calligraphy.

His face was calm, his brows and eyes were downcast, as if he was isolated from the outside world.

Nan Zhen unconsciously slowed down her steps, and her eyes fell on his writing hand.

The fingers are well-defined, slender and fair-skinned, and when the pen is written with force, the ink color is smudged on the rice paper, clear and smooth, which is pleasing to the eye.

He didn't stop, and Nan Zhen didn't bother. After entering, she found a seat not too far away and sat down, resting her chin to look at him.

It wasn't until the last line was written that Xiao Rongxi put down his pen and raised his head, "How?"

Nan Zhen was a little fascinated, and only recovered after hearing his voice, "Your Majesty's handwriting is really beautiful."

"Want to learn?"

"Do not want to."

Xiao Rongxi: "...don't seek to make progress."

Nan Zhen smiled lightly, and didn't care about his criticism, she just said, "Do you want to practice, Your Majesty? I'm hungry."

Her voice was already somewhat waxy, but now that she was relaxed, it became softer and touched people's hearts for no reason.

Xiao Rongxi raised his eyes, looked at her without blinking, his eyes swept across her palm-sized face, and finally fell between the delicate eyebrows, "I will let people pass on food."

He stood up, carrying a scent of ink, and walked towards her step by step, only stopping when he got close.

After sitting and standing, Nan Zhen couldn't help but raise her chin. Before she could speak, she saw the person in front of her spread her hands, holding a small porcelain bottle with a round belly in her palm.

"Others forget the pain when their scars are healed, but you forgot the medicine before you healed?"

After Dongyue wiped it for her yesterday, she conveniently put it on the table. She didn't pay much attention, and left directly. When she remembered, she had already returned to the palace, so she didn't bother to take it.

She reached out to take it, "Thank you Your Majesty."

There was a brief touch between the fingertips and the palm, and no one stayed, and they left as soon as they touched.
