Chapter 100
at dusk.

Yuan Xiuyue was sleeping in a daze, but she had to slowly open her eyes because she heard Ting Lan's soft calling.

Frowning slightly, Yuan Xiuyue stared at Ting Lan in a daze for a moment before muttering, "Is it time for dinner?"

"not yet!"

Shaking her head lightly, Ting Lan pulled up the bright yellow curtain, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Just now Director Ji came here and said that today is Liu Meiren's birthday, but unfortunately the emperor knew it too late, so he only prepared a dinner and said Let the empress go there!"

"Let me pass?"

The eyebrows that were already furrowed couldn't help but tighten even more, Yuan Xiuyue couldn't help lowering her eyebrows in thought.

Since she was burned, she never left Yexi Palace, and naturally she never met the concubines in the palace.

Nangong Haoling should know that she doesn't want to appear in front of everyone in her current appearance, but at this moment, Ji Heng specially invited her... After thinking about it, he probably thought that it was he who wanted to see her, but because of her temper, she couldn't. Come here in person, just looking for such a lame excuse, Yuan Xiuyue sighed lightly, lifted her leg, her eyes were full of self-deprecating: "Do you think this palace is suitable for going out?"

Looking at Yuan Xiuyue's injured leg with a smile, Ting Lan frowned and said, "Just like what the empress said, the servant girl also said it just now, but Director Ji said that the emperor has something to say, and the empress' leg will recover in a few days. Don't be ashamed of yourself!"

When Yuan Xiuyue heard this, she couldn't help but snort coldly!
The raised leg was gently lowered, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was very bitter...

Are her legs really okay?

When he said this, he didn't know whether he was lying to her, himself, or everyone in the palace!

But it doesn't matter, today is the last time, and she will follow what he said, and go on in front of all the concubines again!
Liu Meiren's birthday banquet could not be held in the Empress Dowager's palace like that of the virtuous king, but it had to be held in his own palace.

When Yuan Xiuyue arrived at the banquet, Liu Meiren, who was the birthday star, had just danced gracefully, and the dinner was at its busiest time.

"The Empress is here!"

With Ji Heng's loud announcement, time seemed to stand still for a while, and the banquet that was so lively just now was suddenly silent!

Supported by Ting Lan, under the eyes of everyone, Yuan Xiuyue stared at Nangong Haoling who was sitting and looking at her, and entered the banquet hall step by step!

"The concubine sees the empress empress, and the empress is blessed and safe!"

After finally realizing it, Concubine Yan got up from the banquet and saluted Yuan Xiuyue respectfully.

Following her salute, all the people in the hall stood up one after another, and shouted in unison, the empress, good luck and golden safety!

"Sisters, please be free!"

Looking around, Yuan Xiuyue had a faint smile on her face as before.

Raising her eyes slightly, she glanced at Nangong Haoling who was in the upper position again, and she made a gesture of wanting to be blessed.

With a twitch in his heart, Nangong Haoling hurriedly stopped her and said, "The queen's leg injury is still unhealed, so there is no need to salute me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Although she was smiling faintly, her tone showed a clear sense of alienation. Yuan Xiuyue lowered her eyes slightly at Nangong Haoling, but she didn't go straight to the main seat. She moved lightly, and took an inconspicuous seat by the side of the table and slowly sat down .

Seeing this, Nangong Haoling frowned slightly, and even Liu Meiren and Yan Fei who were sitting beside him stood up involuntarily.

Just ask, the empress is already sitting in the lower position, how can these concubines sit in a position higher than hers!
The atmosphere at the banquet froze for a while!

After a moment of silence, Nangong Haoling stood up abruptly, stepped down from the high position, and walked towards Yuan Xiuyue's direction.

Seeing him striding forward, Yuan Xiuyue frowned lightly.

Facing her slightly cold eyes, Nangong Haoling stretched out his hand to hold her wrist, and pulled her up from the seat, "Your seat is not here!"

Hearing this, Yuan Xiuyue smiled lightly, and with force on her wrist, she broke free from his big hand. She laughed softly and said, "The concubine came here today just to give Liu Meiren a birthday gift, and she doesn't intend to stay longer at the banquet. Even if she sits here, it's only for a moment. That's all!"

"The Empress!"

Biting her lips and squinting at Nangong Haoling with a gloomy complexion beside her, Beauty Liu made a soft voice, slowly descended from her high position, and stood in front of Yuan Xiuyue. Now, it's time to sit on the seat!"

"Sister, you're welcome, I'm leaving soon!"

Smiling at Liu Meiren, Yuan Xiuyue held out her hand to Ting Lan, turned around and was about to walk out.

"Who allowed you to go?"

Seeing her indifference towards him, Nangong Haoling was almost suffocated!

She tore up Xi'er's painting, okay?
He didn't pursue anything with her, but now she keeps turning a blind eye to her!
"emperor!"

Frowning slightly, Yuan Xiuyue looked up into Nangong Haoling's pupils full of anger, Yuan Xiuyue's tone was still light: "The concubine's legs and feet are not good. If you stand for a long time, or sit for a long time, your legs will hurt. , it is really not suitable to stay for a long time on an occasion like today!"

Seeing her frown, Nangong Haoling's heart tightened, and regardless of the presence of all the concubines, he asked softly, "Does your leg hurt now?"

Her leg hurts the meridian, and it's been hurting from time to time these days!

"Ok!"

Hearing his soft voice, Yuan Xiuyue was afraid that she would soften her heart, so she just lowered her head, echoed casually, and bowed her head respectfully, "The concubine will take my leave first!"

Frowning, Nangong Haoling stretched out his hand to grab her wrist again, and said softly, "I'll take you back!"

"no need!"

Turning her wrist, she wanted to break free from the grip of his big hand again, but she couldn't get her way. Yuan Xiuyue lowered her eyebrows and said calmly: "The concubine came here by herself, and I can go back by myself!"

Seeing her cold face again, she looked thousands of miles away from her, Nangong Haoling's voice was slightly cold: "Are you rejecting me?"

Sensing the coldness in his tone, Yuan Xiuyue couldn't help feeling sour, and raised her eyes to look at Liu Meiren beside her, she bowed her head indifferently again: "The concubine is not trying to reject the emperor, because today is Liu Meiren's birthday banquet, the emperor Since you agreed to have a banquet with her, you should stay a little longer!"

"you……"

After being repeatedly rejected and indifferent by her, she was about to get angry, Nangong Haoling held her hand tighter: "I think, Liu Mei is pure and kind-hearted, and has always been the most magnanimous, so I can definitely understand what I want." The mood to send you back to the palace!"

Hearing his words, Liu Mei was startled!
Although she didn't want Nangong Haoling to leave the table, she also knew that his heart was not with her.

As a beauty, she would never be so stupid as to compete with the queen for favor in front of the emperor!

Therefore, she lowered her head slightly, and said to Nangong Haoling and Yuan Xiuyue: "Concubine, concubine, send off the emperor, and concubine, empress!"

Seeing her like this, Yuan Xiuyue frowned!

Without giving her a chance to talk, Nangong Haoling suddenly pulled her arm, ignored her objection, picked her up by the waist, and walked out with big strides...

……

"Nangong Haoling! Let me down!"

Being hugged tightly by Nangong Haoling, no matter how hard Yuan Xiuyue struggled, she was always unable to shake his iron-like arm. In desperation, she had no choice but to kick her legs vigorously.

Holding Yuan Xiuyue domineeringly all the way out of the banquet, Nangong Haoling put her on the dragon carriage with a gloomy expression.Seeing her making a gesture and about to get up, he stretched out his hand to pat her upturned buttocks, and warned viciously: "Don't move around, be careful to touch your own leg injury, it's you, not me, that hurts!"

Hearing this, Yuan Xiuyue froze for a moment, and immediately sat in the chariot without moving a muscle!

Seeing her like this, Nangong Haoling breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Since you can accommodate three thousand beauties around you, why can't you accommodate those few paintings?"

Glancing at him, Yuan Xiuyue sneered, turned her head to look at the bright moonlight outside the chariot, and asked lightly: "Does the emperor think that in your own heart, the three thousand beauties in the palace can be compared with Mrs. Xi?" ?”

Unexpectedly, she would ask such a question, Nangong Haoling was at a loss for words!
In the past, he also wanted to use the three thousand beauties in the palace to numb his heart, so as to forget Zhuge's cherishment, but...he couldn't do it!

Looking up, seeing that he was speechless, Yuan Xiuyue snorted coldly in her heart, couldn't help but smiled wryly and continued to turn her head outward.

After a while, looking at the unfamiliar environment outside the chariot, she couldn't help frowning: "Where does the emperor want to take me?"

This road is not the way back to Yexi Palace!
Following her line of sight, casually glanced at the extraordinarily enchanting Yue'er outside the chariot, Nangong Haoling didn't answer her question, but instead answered her question and helped her on the shoulder: "When you come out at night, why don't you put on a cloak? Cold?"

Pursing her lips slightly, Yuan Xiuyue wanted to tell her that the cloak was with Ting Lan, but when she thought that she deliberately wanted to provoke him and keep him away from her purpose, she chose to keep silent!

But her trembling body revealed the secret of her body!

Is not It Cold?
No wonder!
Seeing this, Nangong Haoling didn't say much, just took a step closer to her, wrapped her delicate body tightly with his own cloak, felt Yuan Xiuyue's resistance, he suddenly pulled her into his arms with all his strength !
With a thought, she thought of the last time in the Lishan cave, when Yuan Xiuyue held her tightly to keep herself warm, Nangong Haoling sighed softly, and a low and magnetic voice rang in Yuan Xiuyue's ears: "Do you remember? Last time , in order to keep warm with me, you and I also shared a cloak."

Hearing this, Yuan Xiuyue's heart twitched slightly!
Thinking of that time, she frowned and smiled, gave up struggling unconsciously, and nestled in Nangong Haoling's arms.

At that time, she didn't know that he was Wuyou, and she never fell in love with him. When she got along with him, she was reckless and unrestrained, and she was completely different from her after returning to the palace!
Outside the chariot, behind the palaces, there was a dense woodland, and further forward, it came to the bottom of a dark mountain.

Seeing the mountain in front of her, Yuan Xiuyue finally knew where he was going to take her.

In this imperial palace, there is only one mountain named Jishan.

After two years in the palace, she knew very well that Nangong Haoling would go to Jishan for a short stay every half-fifth of the month.

However, every time he went up the mountain, he had never brought his female relatives with him, but he never thought that he would bring her here today.

The dragon chariot went straight up along the road, and finally stopped at a deep valley.

In the ear, the sound of rushing came slowly.

Nangong Haoling got up with Yuan Xiuyue in his arms, and after getting off the chariot, he told Ji Heng to stay in front of the chariot. He hugged her, followed the gurgling stream, all the way up, and finally came to a calm lake.

The deep and calm lake, under the silver-white moonlight, is full of waves, making people unable to look away.

Quietly, with Ren Nangong Haoling hugging her, Yuan Xiuyue lightly parted her red lips, breaking the tranquility that only belonged to the two of them: "What did you bring me here for?"

"Not here!"

Looking down at him, he smiled at her in the hazy moonlight, and carried her forward again.
