Marry a traitor

Chapter 176 Old Friend

The queen looked up. The huge portrait in front of her was her former sisters. No matter how well-kept a person is, the traces of time will remain on their face.

Painting can preserve a person's appearance forever. In the painting, Concubine Li still looked the same as she did twenty years ago, with delicate eyebrows, red lips, white teeth, skin as smooth as gelatin, and a smile as bright as a flower.

Concubine Li's beauty was enough to make the enemy offer ten cities to her.

"I always feel that Li'er has never left us."

The emperor's abrupt words made the queen couldn't help but look at the man who spoke.

"Why did the emperor say this?"

The emperor was so absorbed in looking at the portrait that he didn't hear the queen's words. No one answered. The queen's eyes kept falling on the painting, thoughtfully.

The dormitory, which had been unoccupied for a long time, was empty and lonely. If the emperor had not been there, the queen would never have dared to come alone.

A cold wind blew from nowhere, sending chills down the Queen's spine. She turned her head coldly and said to the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, it's cold at night. I'll take you back. Sister Li is right here. Let's go back."

The emperor nodded lonely: "Okay."

The father-in-law followed behind, and the queen supported the emperor and walked out step by step. After leaving the gloomy hall, the queen finally felt a little more relaxed.

Just when she was in Concubine Li's palace, she felt unwell. If the emperor hadn't been there, she wouldn't have gone there at all.

After seeing the emperor off, the queen returned to her palace.

The emperor did catch a cold after he came back. His father-in-law ordered the imperial kitchen to boil some ginger tea, which made him feel better.

"What is the fifth prince doing today?"

"When I return to the emperor, I still read the art of war and dance with my men with swords."

"Go and ask him to come over."

It was late at night, and the emperor had just drank ginger tea. The father-in-law thought he was going to sleep, but he still called the fifth prince over.

"Slave, go right away."

The father-in-law wanted to persuade him that it was getting late and the fifth prince had already rested, but when he thought of the emperor's habits, he obeyed.

The fifth prince had indeed already rested when he was called by his father-in-law. When he knew that the emperor wanted to see him, he stood up immediately.

"Father, wait a moment, I will get dressed right now."

The father-in-law nodded: "I'm waiting for you."

Along the way, the moonlight shone on the shoulders of the fifth prince. The night wind was cold and his hands and feet were cold from the cold. The fifth prince was thoughtful, wondering what the emperor had summoned him for late at night.

"Father."

As soon as the fifth prince entered the room, the emperor pointed at him and told him to sit down.

"It's okay, let's have a chat."

The Emperor really had nothing to do with the Fifth Prince, he just wanted to see the Fifth Prince.

He stared at the face of the fifth prince for a moment. The fifth prince looked confused and touched his face and said, "Father, is there something on my face?"

The emperor shook his head: "No."

"Then why does the father keep staring at his son?"

The emperor also felt that he seemed strange and found a topic at random.

"I heard that you are reading the book of war recently?"

The fifth prince, unlike the second prince, showed off before doing anything. He nodded: "My son, please come and take a look if you have nothing to do."

"I know that you are more studious than the second child, otherwise I would not agree to let you go to Northern Xinjiang. Although the eldest prince is guarding there, in recent years, the surrounding countries have not been eyeing us. I let you go because I hope you can You should learn something useful as soon as possible instead of hanging around in the palace all day." "I understand."

Since the fifth prince decided to go to Northern Xinjiang, he had no intention of enjoying the blessings. He wanted to show it to his father, his mother, the civil and military officials of the dynasty and the people of the world. He, the fifth prince, could also bless the people to live and work in peace and contentment. day.

Tea and snacks were placed in front of the emperor. The father-in-law had asked them to put them here just now. The emperor refused to eat, so he asked the fifth prince to eat.

The two talked for a while, and the fifth prince felt a little sleepy. The emperor didn't seem too tired, but the fifth prince couldn't hold on any longer.

"Father, I will come back to chat with you tomorrow. I will take my leave today."

"it is good."

After the emperor let the second prince go, he sat alone in the main hall. He was not sleepy at all tonight. When he was alone, he thought of Concubine Li again.

At first, Concubine Li was his favorite concubine. The Queen and Concubine Li entered the palace together. Although they were not related in any way, they looked very similar.

He also looked at the novelty, so he kept the two of them by his side, doting on them every night.

He did not summon the other concubines in the palace once a year, but he kept Concubine Li and the Queen alone every day.

That period was the happiest time for him. Later, Concubine Li died. Although the Queen was still with him, he could no longer be happy.

Relying on these memories, the emperor sat until almost dawn and finally fell asleep.

Xiangfu.

Wang Wan had nothing to do these days, so he came to see if the green medicine was any better.

I took green medicine to recover from my injuries. After being alone for a few days, I was almost getting moldy. When I saw my wife, I felt as if I hadn’t seen her in a year.

"I've been busy these days and forgot to come see you. Are you feeling better?"

Futaki was already guarding the green medicine. He came to change the dressing for the green medicine early in the morning.

"Madam, Lu Yao's injury is not serious, just rest and rest."

Futaki has also lost a lot of weight in the past few days. In order to get the green medicine, he made the ointment all night long and didn't even get a good night's sleep.

"There are other doctors in the house, so you don't have to work too hard."

Luyao also felt that Fulong had been too worried about herself these days, and she also followed Wang Wan to dissuade him.

"Yes, yes, Futaki, since I'm fine, you should go and have a rest and let other doctors take a look at me."

Futaki didn't allow it: "How can that be done? I have always known about your injury and how to use medicine. I don't trust other doctors. Don't say anything, just let me take a look at you."

Lu Yao stopped talking. It was the first time he saw Fulong being so stubborn. No matter what he said, it was useless.

"Stop arguing. If Futaki is really tired, take a rest. Don't get sick again."

Fulong had no choice but to listen to Wang Wan's words, he replied.

"Don't worry, ma'am, I'm fine. If I'm really too tired to hold on, I won't hold on anyway."

Wang Wan: "That's good."

Lu Yao had nothing to do. There was still some unfinished sewing work beside her bed. Wang Wan was not curious. A few days ago, she heard Zi Teng say that Lu Yao made a lot of things. She wanted to make some shoes and clothes for her. , even the next generation is ready to be made.

She had to do so many things with only two hands, Wang Wan couldn't help but remind her.

"There are many servants in the house who can do needlework, so you don't have to tire yourself out so much. Just make some simple clothes and shoes. If the prime minister has money, he will buy new ones if he doesn't. Don't tire yourself out."

Lu Yao shook his head: "Madam, tell me, Lu Yao just wants to do it. I still think it's the most comfortable. I'd better save the money to do other things. Wearing slaves is definitely the right thing to do."

Wang Wan couldn't defeat this girl, and he could give her other orders at will, but she couldn't stop Lu Yao from what she wanted to do.
