Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 613
Wang Zhanyue pursed her lips, and said, "The women of the people would be more respectful than obedient."

She sat down opposite Su Ruoqing. Su Ruoqing had already dropped a piece on the chessboard, so she didn't push back anymore, and the piece she picked also landed on the chessboard.

In this game of chess, Su Ruoqing walked carelessly, and Wang Zhanyue followed closely.Wang Zhanyue said that her chess skills are not as good as others', it is too exaggerated, Su Ruoqing actually became serious about playing, if she is not serious, she will be defeated by Wang Zhanyue.

From the initial carelessness to the later seriousness and prudence.This game of chess has been played for a long time, and at the end of the night, the night has become a bit thicker, and the time for dinner has already passed.

At the end of the game, when Su Ruoqing was thinking, the father-in-law approached and said softly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xi is here, she is waiting outside, and she said she has boiled soothing soup for the emperor."

Su Ruoqing said calmly as if nothing had happened: "The Anshen Decoction is here to stay, Tian Han, let her go back, take two guards to see her off, and hold two more lamps."

Wang Zhanyue was a little surprised by his attitude, which was quite different from the previous attitude towards Concubine Xi in the garden, as if she didn't care at all, or she was too focused on playing chess and didn't realize the importance of this matter, so she came out He said: "Concubine Xi is pregnant, so the emperor doesn't need to personally escort her back. You can continue to play this chess when the emperor comes back."

Su Ruoqing said: "Aren't you in a hurry to leave the palace? You may not be in the mood when I send Concubine Xi back. You can wait for another day and start again."

Wang Zhanyue was silent: "Then let's wait until this game is over."

Wang Zhanyue concentrated her attention. When she was in Gusu, she rarely met her opponents in chess, but she was still at a disadvantage when playing chess with Su Ruoqing, and she should not be careless in the slightest.She wanted to win. Although she and Su Ruoqing had nothing to do with each other, if she could still win Su Ruoqing's three-point chess in the palace, then she would have no regrets.

In the end, Wang Zhanyue lost half of the move.The look of despair was written all over his face.Su Ruoqing took the chess pieces back in a calm manner, looked at her twice, and said, "Being able to play chess with me to this extent shows that you are also considered good. Usually, King Ning only comes to you when he plays chess with me." degree." Paused, then said softly with no expression on his face, "But you make me feel very comfortable, and I will let you out of the palace tomorrow according to your wishes."

Wang Zhanyue was a little dazed.When playing chess with Su Ruoqing, she also felt very comfortable, with no other distractions, very peaceful.Su Ruoqing's words made her feel a little complicated, she said: "The daughter of the people is here to thank the emperor."

Su Ruoqing looked at the dark sky outside, and said, "I'm a little hungry, what time is it?"

The father-in-law hurriedly stepped forward and said: "It's already Haishi, the servant is going to pass on the imperial meal, I was afraid of disturbing the emperor so I kept suppressing it."

Su Ruoqing waved for her father-in-law to go.

Wang Zhanyue stood up and said, "The women of the people also leave first."

Su Ruoqing looked up at her, and said, "You didn't eat, so you stayed and ate with me."

Wang Zhanyue was taken aback again, and stood aside.

Soon the imperial meal was passed on, and it was settled in the imperial study.Su Ruoqing asked Wang Zhanyue to sit down, took the bowls and chopsticks and started eating.On the contrary, Wang Zhanyue is not used to it, and eats very cramped.But she was well-bred, and she ate like Su Ruoqing, very elegant, but she only ate nearby dishes.

Su Ruoqing said: "Eat whatever you want, don't worry about anything."

After leaving the palace tomorrow, it is almost impossible to eat the imperial meal in the palace, especially at the same table with the emperor. Wang Zhanyue heard what Su Ruoqing said, but she really didn't feel so restrained anymore, Anyway, since the emperor invited her to have a meal, it is impossible for her to be punished for being too lenient, and he should have been punished long ago.When I go back tomorrow, if my father asks, she can still tell him what the imperial food in the palace tastes like.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhanyue savored the food on the table heartily.It is indeed many times more delicious than the meals cooked by the cook at home.However, if he ate so much every day, he would probably get tired of it. Wang Zhanyue took a sneak peek at Su Ruoqing's indifferent eating appearance. He must not think that this royal meal is delicious at all.

Speaking of leaving the palace tomorrow, Wang Zhanyue was also satisfied.Although he failed to make the emperor fancy him in the end, at least he played a game of chess and had a meal with him, which should be enough.

After Concubine Xi of Fuxi Palace sent her Anshen Soup and was sent back, she heard that Wang Zhanyue had been with Su Ruoqing in the imperial study room all night, she was suddenly out of breath, and went madly in Fuxi Palace Throwing and smashing indiscriminately, and yelling at each other.She was pregnant, and her emotions were more agitated than before. She was holding a piece of porcelain in her hand and cut her palm. She was so frightened that Cuihuan was at a loss. She gritted her teeth and said: "I thought the emperor didn't treat that girl Take it to heart, let her fend for herself in Chuxiu Palace. I didn't expect to be serving in the imperial study room all night, it's extremely hateful!"

Cuihuan said: "Your Majesty, please calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down! Don't get angry and hurt your body, be careful of the child in your womb!"

"My child, it's because of my child! This palace is unable to serve the emperor, which caused that bitch to take advantage of the loophole!" Concubine Xi had been very happy for the past few days, but suddenly she heard that Wang Zhanyue was serving her in the imperial study. Great stimulation, the angry expression distorted her face, and the joy of being pregnant with the dragon species disappeared in an instant.She was dazzled by anger, and only felt that she could not be close to the king because of the hindrance of the dragon species.

Cuihuan tried hard to persuade: "Mistress, please calm down, whoever the emperor favors for a while is temporary and cannot last long, after the empress conceives in October and gives birth to a dragon son, who else in the harem can compete with the empress? No one can shake Empress Shi's position! Besides, the emperor only summoned Wang Zhanyue in the imperial study room, and did not call her to attend bed. With Empress here, she will definitely not be favored!"

Cuihuan's words were like enlightenment, which made Concubine Xi calm down and wake up.She looked at Cuihuan, and suddenly let go of her hand, and threw the tile on the ground. A faint and cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said softly: "You are right, the emperor just summoned her in the imperial study, but did not Cuihuan, you are really smart to call her to bed, otherwise I would have overlooked this crucial point. As long as I am here, from now on, she will never be favored."

The Ruyi Palace was very clean, Ruixiang was removing the hair ornament from Li Ruyi's head, and said: "I just heard the wind in Fuxi Palace, it seems that the emperor summoned Wang Zhanyue and made Concubine Xi go into a rage, throwing and throwing her. "

Li Ruyi closed her eyes and meditated, noncommittal.

After all the unloading was finished, Li Ruyi opened her eyes and said: "Tomorrow, let the imperial doctor go to Fuxi Palace to see, and prescribe two more anti-fetal medicines. Concubine Xi's mood is restless, and the baby in her stomach will always be fine."

Rui Xiang said: "The child in Concubine Xi's belly, the empresses of other palaces are all tight-eyed. Whether they can last until October is still unknown."

Now there are more concubines in the harem, and their movements are more active. There are many daughters of ministers and arrogant princesses from other countries.This is the most unavoidable thing in the harem.

There are definitely not a few concubines who can't understand Concubine Xi's style.

Li Ruyi said: "If that's the case, you have to be more careful. No matter what, we must let Concubine Xi give birth to the emperor's child safely."

Ruixiang was silent for a moment, and said: "Concubine Xi is an ungrateful person, why should the empress take care of her all the time, even if it was the empress who brought her into the palace at the beginning, the empress herself said that she will walk the rest of the way by herself. What's the matter with the empress? Besides, the emperor." She looked at Li Ruyi with the same expression, and said boldly, "The emperor has made the empress unable to have another child for the rest of her life, but the empress has worked so hard to protect the emperor's child."

"presumptuous."

Ruixiang immediately retracted her skirt and knelt down.

Li Ruyi turned around and looked at her contemptuously, and said, "Do you know that misfortune comes from your mouth?"

Ruixiang said: "I know I was wrong, I just don't deserve it for your mother."

"I think it's good now," Li Ruyi said, "Don't talk nonsense in the future, okay, you go down."

"Yes."

Wang Zhanyue slowly returned to Chuxiu Palace after midnight. She was full after eating and drinking. She rested in the imperial study room for a while and drank two sips of tea. Fighting, and sometimes thinking about eating quietly together at the dinner table.When I came out, I also felt that the night air outside was not so cold.

When she left the imperial study, Su Ruoqing also came out, ready to go back to the palace to rest.After about a few hours of rest, I have to get up and go to court again.It was rare for him to stay up so late at night, and although there was a hint of exhaustion between his brows, he felt happy and relaxed.

Wang Zhanyue saw his fatigue, and said: "The emperor must be very tired, go back and rest quickly, and the girl will leave."

Su Ruoqing walked down the stone steps in front of the imperial study room, surrounded by palace officials holding lamps, he said as he walked, "It's okay, I'll send you to Chuxiu Palace first."

Wang Zhanyue stood still, looking deeply at his back, he stopped, turned around and looked back at her inexplicably.She suddenly came back to her senses, blinked her eyes, and said with a clear smile: "Your Majesty, you don't need to be so troublesome. There is not much time until dawn. Your Majesty, go back and rest. It's only a matter of two eunuchs sending me back."

The expression on Su Ruoqing's face was quite relaxed, and he said: "Anyway, I'm full and I can't fall asleep now when I go back, so you might as well take a walk. After all, you are also the beautiful girl carefully selected for me by Princess Xian, so don't treat me too badly, and you will be out tomorrow Gong, it's just this time, let's go."

Wang Zhanyue lowered her head and laughed, then lifted her skirt and went down the stairs. The moment she lowered her eyes, she suddenly felt hot and reluctant, as if this time was too extravagant for her. It should be a very happy thing to play chess, paint and recite poems together.Concubine Xian is right. If some pretense is removed, the real him is indeed a lonely and elegant person.She said: "That's right, anyway, it's just this time, so the daughter of the people will have to work for the emperor."
