Empress Abandoned in the Cold Palace: Queen Juan, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 25

Su Lijin tried her best to raise her smile, and nodded to the Queen Mother.

"What the Empress Dowager said was that in previous years it was just to watch the singing and dancing, this time the concubine will arrange a different banquet."

Hearing that Su Lijin agreed to come down, the Queen Mother didn't say anything more, and waved her hand and issued the order to evict the guest.

"Since the queen has agreed to come down, the Ai family has nothing else to do. Go down, the Ai family is tired and wants to rest."

Su Lijin took a few steps back, bowed to the queen mother, and then agreed: "Okay, my concubine will leave."

Walking on the way back to Kunning Palace.

Su Lijin's face was full of sadness, where did she want to find some novel ideas.

When he was deep in thought, a servant suddenly walked up to Su Lijin's side, and bowed to salute.

"Empress, the emperor welcomes you."

Xiao Shengyong?
What are you calling yourself to do?
"Lead the way." With thin lips slightly parted, Su Lijin spoke lightly.

The servant led the way, Su Lijin followed behind in a sedan chair, and arrived at the Tai Chi Hall not long after.

The eunuch was waiting at the door with a smile on his face, seeing Su Li got out of the sedan chair and respectfully invited him into the hall, he retreated.

Seeing the little eunuch dozing off next to him, he tapped the little eunuch's head heavily with his whiskers, warning:

"If you dare to fall asleep on duty again, watch out for your ass! Keep the door open for me!"

The little eunuch was woken up and received such a warning, nodded repeatedly, and stood at the door in a dignified manner.

Hall
"Chen and concubine see the emperor."

"Get up." The man said in a deep voice, he raised his eyes and landed on Su Lijin when he spoke.

"Jin'er, how are you doing lately?" He asked knowingly, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

How have you been?

Su Lijin raised her eyebrows helplessly, don't you still have to ask yourself if it's okay?

"Very good, the emperor looks good too."

She spoke politely.

"In that case, come and help me study ink."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Shengyun lowered his head again and didn't look at her.

Resigned to her fate, Su Lijin came to Xiao Shengyun's side, picked up the ink stick and began to grind it.

"How are the preparations for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet?" Xiao Shengyong pretended to be casual and asked.

Su Lijin sighed helplessly: "The concubine has no idea for the time being, the queen mother wants to be more novel and have a different birthday banquet."

"You can think about what the queen mother likes. She usually likes to listen to operas. Maybe it's a useful idea."

Xiao Shengyun spoke lightly, without any change in his brows and eyes as he spoke.

"Really?" Su Lijin agreed, thinking carefully.

The method Xiao Shengyun said is feasible, but how to convince the Ministry of Rites is a problem for a theater troupe.

Su Lijin thought about it and felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.

Then, I only heard the dull sound of something falling on the carpet, and I didn't know anything.

Outside the Hall of Tai Chi, nobleman Xi is holding the soup he made himself to pay homage to the emperor again.

The little eunuch guarding the door hurriedly stopped him.

"Your Majesty Xi, the emperor has already rested, please come back another day."

"The soup was finally boiled. Bengong will come out soon after entering. Eunuch has a convenient personality."

As nobleman Xi said, he took out a jade bracelet and put it in the little eunuch's hand.

The little eunuch wanted to refuse at first, but couldn't bear the temptation, so he took the risk and opened a door for her, allowing Noble Xi to enter quietly.

Noble Xi held the soup, proudly raised his head and walked inside.

This time, she will make up for her mistakes and strive to win the emperor's heart in one fell swoop!
Unexpectedly, she had just walked into the hall and was about to bow down to salute in the direction of Xiao Shengyong. The moment she lowered her head, she was stunned when she saw the scene in front of her.

The empress actually lay on the emperor's lap, as if she fell asleep?
So, when the eunuch said just now that the emperor is resting, it actually means that the queen is with the emperor!

After realizing this, nobleman Xi didn't know whether to speak or not for a while, she looked at Xiao Shengyun tremblingly.

After feeling that someone was coming, Xiao Shengyun raised his eyes slightly, with a cold look in his eyes.

Coming in at this time is really a bad guy's interest.

Mrs. Xi was frightened by Xiao Shengyun's eyes, and quickly lowered her head, not daring to look Xiao Shengyong directly.

Xiao Shengyun waved to nobleman Xi, motioning for her to step down.

Noble Xi stood where he was, and after understanding Xiao Shengyong's movements, he saluted silently, then turned and left.

Su Lijin slept soundly this time, and when she opened her eyes again, she subconsciously stretched out her hands.

As a result, the hand that had just been raised was bumped, and she opened her eyes suspiciously, and she was stunned.

When did he lie on Xiao Shengyong's lap?
Wait, I seemed to be studying ink just now, and then, then I fell asleep? ?

After realizing this, Su Lijin got up quickly, her cheeks blushed unconsciously while she drooped her eyes.

It feels a little hot.

Noticing Su Lijin's reaction, the smile on Xiao Shengjin's face became a little more doting.

But he still joked deliberately: "Is Jin'er comfortable? Why does her cheek look a little red?"

Uncomfortable?
This person obviously did it on purpose!

"No, the concubine probably just woke up from sleep, the emperor doesn't need to worry."

Being patient, Su Lijin answered slowly.

"Since it's all right, does Jin'er have an idea about the Queen Mother's birthday banquet?"

Xiao Shengyun asked, changing the subject.

"Since my mother likes to listen to operas on weekdays, why not find a good opera troupe for my concubine, which is considered innovative."

Xiao Shengyun nodded slightly, which was regarded as agreeing to her proposal.

"If there is nothing else, the concubine will leave first."

Su Lijin was really embarrassed to stay any longer, turned around and planned to leave after speaking.

Xiao Shengxun remained calm on the surface, but secretly raised his foot, pretending to kick the falling jade stone beside his foot inadvertently.

The next moment, Su Lijin felt that something had tripped over her feet, and she jumped forward unexpectedly.

Subconsciously, she reached out and hugged the man in front of her. Su Lijin leaned against his heart, and when she heard the man's heartbeat, her body froze.

"Are you okay?" A man's inquiring voice came from beside his ear.

In an instant, Su Lijin's ears turned red.

She lowered her head and supported Xiao Shengyong's legs with both hands, and got up directly.

"No, it's okay, I'll go first."

It was the first time to stammer and speak in front of Xiao Shengyong like this.

Su Lijin really didn't want to stay any longer.

Maybe he will be ridiculed if he sees himself like this.

Looking at the back of the woman running away in a hurry, the smile on Xiao Shengyun's face became wider, and he was a little more pampered.

At the gate of the Taiji Hall, Su Lijin stopped.

Panting slightly, she raised her hand and pressed it to her heart.

That strongly beating heart was silently expressing his nervousness just now.

Unconsciously, the ambiguous behavior of the two just appeared in the mind, and Su Lijin still feels very embarrassed, but what is the reason for this feeling of rapid heartbeat?
