Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 317 Feelings need to be taken care of step by step

A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Li Xiang's forehead, he bowed lower and said: "The old minister dare not."

Su Ruoqing walked past Li Xiang slowly, came to the desk, glanced at the memorials piled up on the desk, took a copy and opened it, and said, "I heard that the teacher has been waiting in the imperial study for a long time today. , but something important?"

Li Xiang respectfully stepped forward and handed the memorial to Su Ruoqing.Su Ruoqing took a seat in front of the table, flicked his wide sleeves, took the wolf hair on the pen holder, lightly tapped the cinnabar at hand, his eyes moved very quickly from top to bottom, and then commented at the end.

Li Xiang stood aside for a while, and said: "The old minister heard that the emperor left the palace and did not return all night. Before the morning court today, there are ministers talking about it. The state affairs must not be neglected for a day, and the beauty is a disaster. The emperor must not delay it for the sake of women. Family and country affairs."

Su Ruoqing raised her eyebrows noncommittally, her eyes looked a little sharp, and said: "So, the teacher knows exactly where I went this day and who I went out with. In the past, I also did not go to the morning from time to time, Why did the teacher come to teach me these things today?" After saying that, he raised his head and glanced at Li Xiang.

Li Lian quickly bowed his head and said, "I don't dare." He showed a helpless expression, and said, "Your Majesty, I am old and can't do anything about many things. It's just that the honest words are harsh, even if it angers Long Yan, the veteran will still say There are many beauties in the emperor's harem, and they are not young, so they should care about the matter of the dragon's heir, and they should go to the harem more, instead of spending the night outside the palace with messy women..."

Su Ruoqing put down the pen in his hand with a "snap", raised his head, and said in awe without anger, "A messy woman?"

Li Xiangdao: "Your majesty, please think twice. Even though Ye Song is the daughter of a great general, she is not only the third prince's former second cousin wife, but her daily life style is indiscreet. The emperor must never have anything to do with such a woman." Yes! Even if the emperor's dragon face is furious, the old minister who should say it must still say it!" Then he knelt tremblingly, "The emperor cares about the concubines in the harem, and letting them give birth to dragon heirs as soon as possible is a major event that is beneficial to the community !"

Su Ruoqing's eyes fell on Li Xiang's back like frost, and said, "I respectfully call Aiqing 'teacher', and if I don't punish Aiqing for peeping in the memorial in the royal study, will Aiqing start to sell her old age?"

At this time, the father-in-law outside the door brought hot tea, one cup for Su Ruoqing and one cup for Prime Minister Li.The father-in-law said: "Your Majesty, please come to see me."

"Let him come in." Su Ruoqing said, "It's getting late, send someone to take the prime minister back."

"Yes."

Li Xiang knew that it would be useless to talk too much, even if he just said one more thing, he would definitely not leave tonight with nothing to do, so he said: "The emperor is busy, Wan takes care of the dragon's body, and the old minister will leave."

Li Xiang and Gui had already met at the door of the imperial study.Gui Ji was a cautious person, bowing sideways to let Li Xiang go first, Li Xiang put on airs and gave him a contemptuous look, then shook his sleeves and left.Gui Ji straightened up and looked back at the figure, before walking into the imperial study.

Su Ruoqing calmly continued to review the memorial, and asked casually, "How about what you were asked to do?"

Gui already stood still below, held up the black jade pendant that Su Ruoqing gave him a few days ago and returned it to Su Ruoqing, saying: "My subordinates have found out that there is indeed a killer organization, and everyone in it wears such a pendant. jade pendant, but the mastermind hasn’t shown up yet, and the subordinates haven’t tried to startle the snake.”

Su Ruoqing took the jade pendant, stroked the lines on it with her fingers, and looked at it carefully for a while, then suddenly said without a word: "Put it in Ruyi Palace."

That night, Su Ruoqing had people carry all the memorials in the imperial study room to Ruyi Palace.Li Ruyi greeted him, dressed thinly but charmingly, with a soft smile on his brows and eyes.

Su Ruoqing personally held Li Ruyi's hand, held it in her warm palm, and lightly wrapped her shoulder with the other hand, and said, "It's cold outside, so don't come out to meet her."

Li Ruyi half leaned half into Su Ruoqing's arms, jokingly said: "Then what can I do, if the concubine doesn't come out, the emperor gets angry and goes to another palace instead, the concubine can't do it."

After entering the bedroom, Li Ruyi took a bath and cleansed herself, her body smelled sultry, and she was intoxicated as soon as she lifted her sleeves.

Su Ruoqing was still processing the memorial before the case, so she knelt and sat behind Su Ruoqing, resting her fingers on Su Ruoqing's shoulders and kneading gently, then pressed a few acupuncture points on Su Ruoqing's head, allowing him to relax, as usual Gossip-like, said: "The emperor is exhausted from dealing with so many political affairs every day. I heard that my father waited for the emperor in the imperial study for a long time today. I am a woman, so I don't want to intervene in these things. But my father is a bully, so I advise you." I can't persuade him. When he is old, the emperor will think of his dedication for many years. If he says something that makes the emperor unhappy, can the emperor not be as knowledgeable as my father?"

Su Ruoqing patted Li Ruyi's hand, and said nonchalantly, "My concubine has a heart. I think he is old, and I have sent him back to rest."

Li Ruyi gave a blessing and said: "My concubine, I thank the emperor."

Before he knew it, it was late at night, and Li Ruyi tried his best to cheer up and serve Su Ruoqing.Su Ruoqing hadn't finished reading the memorial on the table, and said, "Go to rest when my concubine is tired, don't have to watch over me, after reading all these, she should go to court early."

"Your Majesty, don't you need to take a break? How can you survive with such a body..." Li Ruyi said worriedly, "Why don't we watch this tomorrow morning?"

"It's okay." Su Ruoqing said, "Go to sleep."

Li Ruyi bathed and changed clothes tonight, and even dressed up carefully, hoping to attract Su Ruoqing's attention and favor.Unexpectedly, Su Ruoqing didn't even look at her more, she was always focused on the matter at hand, and she didn't intend to go to bed in the middle of the night, now Su Ruoqing let her go to sleep alone, what's the difference from staying alone in an empty room.Perhaps the only difference is that there is one more person in the dormitory, but it is more difficult than staying alone in an empty room.

But after Su Ruoqing said that, it would be difficult for Li Ruyi to say anything else, so she had no choice but to say "Yes", and said: "The emperor also rests earlier, if you are tired, take a rest."

After waiting for a while, Su Ruoqing did not raise her head to agree, so she got up in a sour disappointment, tidied up hastily, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.It's just that at first he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. After sneaking a look at Su Ruoqing who was working seriously for a while, he couldn't look away. Later, he was so tired that he gradually fell asleep.

Su Ruoqing dealt with the affairs of the court for a whole day, and did not finish it until the morning, when the time for the morning court was not far away.He pinched the bridge of his nose, his eyes were so tired that there were many shadows in his vision.He planned to take a nap on the couch.

Walking to the bed, Su Ruoqing suddenly remembered that this was not his bedroom, he remembered that he had come to Ruyi Palace, and at this moment Li Ruyi was sleeping quietly on the couch.She looks beautiful, covered with a brocade quilt, but her hands are stretched out irregularly, the thin shirt on her shoulders slipped slightly, and her round chest and fragrant shoulders are faintly visible, such an unconscious temptation is really two points like that look.

Su Ruoqing sat down on the bed, reached out to help Li Ruyi wrap up the corner of the quilt, and looked at her carefully, but what appeared in her mind was the clear appearance of Ye Song, and she was also very quiet when she fell asleep. , without defense, it is easy to rely on him.

Li Ruyi felt the slightly cool temperature between Su Ruoqing's fingers, instead of hiding, she tilted her head and came over, wanting to rub against Su Ruoqing's palm.The person in front of her eyes and the person in her mind seemed to coincide for a moment. Su Ruoqing was so tired that she lost consciousness for a moment, so she let herself go and gently stroked Li Ruyi's face with her hands.

When she realized it, Su Ruoqing quickly pulled her hand away.He lay down next to Li Ruyi.

As soon as she closed her eyes, Li Ruyi leaned over, opened the quilt, and covered Su Ruoqing's body.Su Ruoqing moved, but was hugged by Li Ruyi, and made no further move.Li Ruyi closed her eyes, pillowed on Su Ruoqing's shoulder, put her arms around his waist, and said, "Your majesty, sleep outside without a quilt, it will be cold. The emperor is not made of iron. What should I do if I catch a cold? Beixia's." The people of Sheji still rely on the emperor."

In the end, Su Ruoqing only patted Li Ruyi's shoulder and said, "Go to sleep."

It didn't take long for him to feel that he was about to fall asleep, and the time had come.In autumn and winter, the dawn is late, and it is still dark outside.When he opened his eyes, they were bloodshot and scarlet from sleepiness.

Li Ruyi got up, and while changing his clothes, said distressedly: "The emperor has not slept for a while and is going to wake up again. Others think that the emperor has everything in the world, but in fact, there is one thing that the emperor can't think of right now."

Su Ruoqing's voice was a little hoarse, and she was not yet fully awake, and asked, "Oh? What is it?"

Li Ruyi straightened his clothes for him, looked up at him, and said, "Rest and sleep."

Su Ruoqing was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly.The mood didn't seem to be so bad anymore, the maids came forward with utensils, after he washed up, he gave Li Ruyi a few words to let Li Ruyi take a good rest, and then went to court.

Only then did Li Ruyi lie back under the blanket again, leaning sideways, stretched out her hand to caress the place where Su Ruoqing had been lying on just now, with a happy and smug smile on her lips, she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

When he woke up, the sky was just right outside, and the maids around him came to serve him.She lazily got up, her complexion was good, she sat in front of the bronze mirror and painted her own eyebrows, without applying too much rouge and gouache, her complexion was fair and supple.

Ruixiang next to her put a palm-sized makeup mirror in front of Li Ruyi, and said, "Your Majesty's complexion is getting better and better, and she looks radiant."

Li Ruyi supported the bun on the back of her head, gestured to the mirror, and couldn't hide the joy between her brows, and said, "Really, I also feel that people are more relaxed now than before. Sure enough, women only need to relax themselves. Heart, not to mention becoming beautiful, sooner or later you will get what you want little by little. Ruixiang, you said that women are born strategists, this sentence is really good, but most women face feelings and their own feelings. Lovers are too confused and stupid. But if you want to get a man whose heart is not on you, you can only do it step by step. I have seen it through. I never want to go back to a place like the Leng Palace in this life. Father sent you to Ben It is a very wise thing to be around the palace, you are the bell ringer of the palace, and you will wake me up when I am confused."
