Queen is fearless

Chapter 38
Standing up with the emperor's hand, Concubine Dong felt better.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's my concubine's lack of thoughtfulness. I thought about these dishes, which the Emperor likes to eat, but forgot that they are so hot today, which delayed the Emperor's appetite."

"I will pay attention to it in the future. It's been a long time since I saw the emperor, so..."

Hesitating to speak, Concubine Dong sat beside the emperor with a bit of sadness in her eyes.

This made Zhou Jing involuntarily get goosebumps all over his body, and he suddenly discovered that the favor of a beauty is not so easy to bear.

"Hurry up and eat, it will be cold in a while." Zhou Jing took a few more mouthfuls of food for Concubine Dong and put down her chopsticks.

Concubine Dong had already used things before the emperor came, so that she would not eat too much when dining with the emperor.

In addition, the table was greasy, and she really couldn't eat it.

The palace people removed the dinner, Concubine Dong looked at the emperor, thought about it, and then said, "Your Majesty, my concubine has someone prepare hot water for you to take a bath?"

Since the emperor flipped the sign, there are naturally other activities besides eating.

It's July, it's hot, and no one can stand a day without a shower.

Even the palace people would get some hot water and wipe their bodies every night.

"I just finished my meal, let's talk about it later." Zhou Jing said quickly, he wanted to leave.

Thinking in her heart how to leave smoothly, Zhou Jing set her sights on Yuan Bao.

Yuan Bao has been by his side for many years, he is very clever, if he is asked to help, there should be no problem.

It's just that Yuan Bao is not with him right now, but at the gate of the hall, and it seems difficult for him to send a message to Yuan Bao.

"How about...shall we go out for a walk?" The sun has set now, but it's not dark yet, and it's not so hot outside.

Concubine Dong was a little embarrassed. She had already bathed and dressed carefully. If she went out, she would sweat even if it wasn't that hot. I'm afraid...

"What? Concubine Dong doesn't want to go out?" Zhou Jing looked at her, hoping that she would not go out, so that he could leave directly.

"Of course the concubine is willing." Concubine Dong gritted her teeth, the emperor came here once in a while, so he couldn't make the emperor unhappy.

So, she stood up, accompanied the emperor, and walked out of the hall.

The emperor and Concubine Dong were going out for a walk, and the palace people hurriedly followed.

Zhou Jing tried to convey his meaning to Yuan Bao several times but failed, which made him a little depressed.

On weekdays, Yuan Bao is clever, why is he so clueless today!
The two left Yichun Palace and traveled a long way, but the emperor failed to achieve his goal.

"Your Majesty, shall we go back? Concubine a little tired?" Concubine Dong, as a second-rank concubine, used sedan chairs when traveling and rarely walked by herself.

Although the sun was setting, it was still a bit muggy outside, and after walking out for a long time, her makeup was a bit smudged.

Seeing that the emperor didn't intend to go back, she had no choice but to remind her.

"Then go back." Nodding, Zhou Jing turned to look at Yuan Bao, probably because his gaze was too hot, Yuan Bao raised his head and saw the emperor's fierce gaze.

This made Yuan Bao's heart flutter, he probably didn't do anything, why looking at the emperor's appearance, he wished he could eat himself?
With doubts, he bravely continued to look at the emperor. At this moment, Concubine Dong was urging the emperor, so he turned his head and walked forward slowly.

Blinking his eyes, Yuan Bao's mind began to come alive, he was doing well, the emperor wouldn't stare at him, and he didn't do anything to make the emperor angry.

Usually, the emperor flipped through the sign, and after eating, he would only rest for a while, then take a bath, and then...

Things seem to be different today, the emperor is the same as when he was in Fengyang Palace, he went out for a walk after eating, and it was Dong Fei who reminded him to go back.

Wait... Concubine Dong reminds...

A flash of inspiration flashed in Yuan Bao's mind, he seemed to understand what the emperor meant, but he was not quite sure.

Seeing that the Yichun Palace was getting closer and closer, Zhou Jing couldn't help sighing in her heart. She really did her own crimes and couldn't live without it. It's so good, what brand should it be?
"Please forgive the emperor, the slave is guilty." Yuan Bao's voice came from behind, making the emperor and Concubine Dong stop involuntarily.

"What's going on?" Turning his head, Zhou Jing looked at Yuan Bao who was kneeling on the ground, and frowned.

"Damn it, servant. Earlier, I sent an urgent note. The servant wanted to present it to the emperor, but when he got outside the imperial study, he got caught up in other things and forgot about it."

"Now that I suddenly think about it, I don't know what was the delay?" Looking at the emperor secretly, seeing that there seemed to be approval in his eyes, Yuan Bao knew that he had guessed right.

"An urgent note? Can you forget this kind of thing?" Zhou Jing frowned, took a few steps forward, and kicked Yuan Bao's body. "If you delay anything, I can't spare you!"

He used ingenuity, and it looked like he kicked Yuanbao to the ground, but in fact, it didn't hurt at all, and Yuanbao fell down, but he just followed the trend.

"Since the emperor has court affairs to deal with, the court affairs are the most important ones, and my concubine is waiting for the emperor to come back."

Seeing the emperor getting angry, although Concubine Dong was unwilling, she still showed a look of understanding.

"This... I have wronged you." After listening to Concubine Dong's words, Zhou Jing turned around and looked at Concubine Dong with relief.

"Thank you, Concubine Dong, soon." He kicked Yuan Bao with his toe, Zhou Jing ordered, and Yuan Bao quickly knelt down and bowed to Concubine Dong.

"I'll be back as soon as possible, you take a break first." After walking with him for a long time, Concubine Dong's makeup was all over, and she looked a bit embarrassed.

"Yes." In response, Concubine Dong saluted Zhou Jing and watched him lead the others away.

"Prepare hot water, I want to take a bath." Concubine Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her body, sweating profusely and feeling sticky.

Before, she was worried that after she came back, the emperor would have other ideas, and she would be in a panic at that time, fearing that the emperor would have a bad impression.

Now there is no need to worry, she just needs to tidy up and wait for the emperor to come back.

Concubine Dong didn't expect that the emperor never came back after leaving. She waited until late at night and threw the jade pillow on the ground angrily.

…………

Leaving Yichun Palace, Zhou Jing breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Yuan Bao, "You're clever."

In the words, with praise, let Yuan Bao understand that he guessed right, the emperor really doesn't want to stay, which is strange.

In the past, if the emperor flipped the sign, he would definitely stay here, but today is the first time.

"Your Majesty, where are you now?" Yuan Bao tentatively opened his mouth without daring to ask further questions.

"Go back to the imperial study." No matter what you do, you have to put on a show, otherwise, it will be too embarrassing for Concubine Dong, "You can go and ask, how about Fengyang Palace?"
