Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 354
Not only was Guan Xuqing not angry, but he laughed, and then he sat down casually beside her, looked around, smacked his lips and said, "The scenery here is not bad, you have a good eye. Of course, when it comes to garden views, It’s still not as natural as it came.”

"Is the party over?" Mao Zi asked lightly.

"No." Guan Xuqing shook his head and looked at her puzzled.

"Since they didn't leave, you should have stayed with them. Why did you run to accompany me alone?" Maozi's tone was a little reproachful, but there was no sign of resentment on his face, and he blushed even more.

"Oh." Guan Xuqing raised his hand and patted the pillars beside him, shook his head and said, "The more lively it is, the more bored I feel. So I came to chat with you for a while and enjoy the quiet."

The maozi didn't speak, his eyes looked at the steamy lake, as if he was thinking about something.

"What are you thinking? Why don't you speak?" Guan Xuqing saw that she had kept her head bowed in silence, and gently patted her on the shoulder.

"It's nothing." She came back to her senses all of a sudden, raised her head and said, "I also felt bored, so I slipped out. I'm a humble orphan girl in a foreign land, staying in the queen, it's too annoying among the imperial concubines."

Guan Xuqing opened his mouth slightly at first, looked at her as if he didn't understand, and then laughed loudly, saying repeatedly: "Happy! Happy!"

He went on to say: "Then how about I also make you a noble concubine?"

"No need, as long as I can be by your side, see you often, and hear your voice, I will be content." Maozi said lightly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, but Guan Xuqing Suddenly his body shook, and he slowly turned his head to look at Maozi's beautiful side face, speechless for a long time.

The two sat quietly like this, looking at the calm lake, silent.

"I don't know if God sent you to my side?" Guan Xuqing said suddenly, his eyes still fixed on the lake.

The maozi hid her face in the shadow, and couldn't see the expression on her face at all. She avoided the topic and said, "I saw you and the generals betting on ice archery that day. That's a lot."

Guan Xuqing looked at her and laughed: "Do you think it is easy to be an emperor? Not only do you have to deal with political affairs, you have to think about all aspects, and you also have to be physically strong, with both civil and military skills."

"It would be great if I could skate." Maozi sighed, caressing the cold pillars, and said leisurely: "I really hope to skate with you one day."

"If you want to skate, why didn't you tell me earlier, I can take you there in a few days after I'm done with these bad things. If spring starts after a while, the ice will melt, and I won't be able to skate until next year." Guan Xuqing came on a whim, and then suddenly asked excitedly: "Can you fish? Even if the ice and snow melt and you can't slip, I can still take you fishing in the North Sea."

"Really?" There was a smile on her pale face, but it disappeared suddenly, "I don't know if your other wives will agree."

"Hehe, I didn't expect a woman like you to be jealous. Don't worry, no one dares to object to the decision I made." Guan Xuqing promised confidently.

"I won't object to anything? It's just that I don't want to cause other people's unhappiness because of my appearance." Maozi said thoughtfully.

"Don't worry, none of my wives are tricky, I keep my word, and I will definitely take you fishing when I come back from a tour in Shanghai." Guan Xuqing once again made a promise.

"Your Majesty, who are you calling tricky?" A crisp voice sounded behind Guan Xuqing. Guan Xuqing turned around and saw a beautiful woman walking gracefully from outside the pavilion. It's Queen Jingfen.Even though she had given birth to two princes, Pu Yin and Pu Hua, for the emperor, she still maintained a good figure, and she also had a little more charm.

"Is it all gone already?" Guan Xuqi asked and stood up with a smile and said, "I was talking to Maozi just now that I can take her to the North Sea to go fishing, so that she won't be bored here. The queen will definitely not against it, isn't it?"

"Fishing? Of course I won't object." Although she was answering the emperor's words, her gaze remained on the maozi's face, with a trace of inquiry.

The maozi just looked back, and then cast his gaze into the misty mist.

Jingfen pretended to blame and said: "Your Majesty, I said why I can't find you everywhere, so you are hiding here and speaking ill of my concubine."

Guan Xuqing laughed loudly, took Jingfen's hand, pointed to the line between the sea and the sky, and said, "Zitong, look, Maozi has found the best view in Yuanmingyuan."

Jingfen looked along the emperor's fingers, and saw the bright yellow moonlight hidden behind the night mist at the line of the sea and the sky. Taking advantage of the water color, there was a kind of sad and blurred beauty, like a lover's sad eyes, the beauty is heart-warming. broken!
"I'm going back to the palace first." Maozi said in a low voice, bowed to the emperor and queen, and then, accompanied by Qingfeng, walked out of the pavilion slowly with small steps.

Guan Xuqing smiled awkwardly, and said to Jingfen: "She just goes straight like this, she does what she thinks, she doesn't hide the slightest bit. Don't take it too seriously."

Jingfen caressed the emperor's hand, rested her head on the other's shoulder, and said: "Why have I been overwhelmed by such a trivial matter for so many years? You are the emperor, and you are not okay with it. What else will I do?" ?”

Guan Xuqing cupped Jingfen's face and kissed it lightly, and said with a smile: "Recently, I have been busy with political affairs, and I have neglected you, and I want you to give birth to a little prince for me in the future."

Jingfen patted Guan Xuqing's shoulder lightly: "If you regenerate a concubine, you will become an old woman, and the emperor will definitely not like me by then."

Guan Xuqing said emotionally: "How could it be? Even if you really become old and ugly, you are still my favorite woman."

Listening to Guan Xuqing's words, Jingfen felt obsessed, shed tears in a daze, and then threw herself into the other's arms with a groan.Under the hazy moonlight, the two embraced tightly.

Maozi herself has no malice towards the queen and other concubines, but she likes tranquility by nature. She loves to be alone since she was a child, thinking quietly, crying for a while, laughing for a while. At this time, she returned to her bedroom to listen to Yuexuan. , pacing up and down in the study boredly, but my heart couldn't calm down no matter what.will he come
After a long while, he was still nowhere to be seen. She walked to the table impatiently, picked up a book of poetry placed on it, and flipped through it absent-mindedly.Two sheets of folded rice paper fell down, and she knew that the emperor must have put them in the book after practicing calligraphy, so she opened it casually and looked at it.

"When the moon rises brightly, it makes people flirt; when the moon rises, it makes people caress; It’s so hard, it’s so hard.” After skipping a few words that she couldn’t recognize, she finally finished reading this tongue-twister-like poem.Although she knew that it must be copied from the Book of Songs, in her eyes, it was as profound as a heavenly book.

Putting down this piece of paper, she looked at the other one, glanced at it, and immediately smiled. She is no stranger to the poem "The reeds are green, the white dew is frost; the so-called Iraqis are on the side of the water". It was a poem that every girl liked very much when she was in the palace.

Suddenly, her body trembled. Did he write these two poems for me?
She touched her hot cheeks, stood there for a while, and finally laughed at herself for being so stupid, why she could think of everything about herself.

Maozi hurriedly put the paper into the book and put it away as it was.In order to calm down her panic, she conveniently picked up a strange long cylinder placed on the table and studied it. It was left here when the emperor came last time, and she had never noticed it for many days.Looking left and right, she didn't know what it was. Just as she was wondering, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her: "I don't know what it is, I'm here to show you."

She was startled, and the cylinder in her hand almost fell to the ground. Looking back, she saw the emperor standing with his hands behind his back, smiling.The maozi stroked his chest, with a bit of blame and complaint in his tone: "Your Majesty, why do you always walk so lightly, without even making a sound when you walk, it's up to me"

Guan Xuqing laughed, his face was not as serious as before, he reached for the cylinder, opened the lid and fiddled with it.Seeing him open the lid, she suddenly realized, she couldn't help smiling, and said with a smile, "I thought it was some kind of treasure, it turned out to be a spotting telescope."

"Do you know this thing?" Guan Xuqing stared at her and said, "Telescopes are also divided into three, six, and nine grades. This was given to me by the Kaiser a few days ago. This is called a high-powered telescope."

"Although the imperial palace can't be compared with this place, binoculars are not a rare thing." Maozi seemed to regain his spirits all of a sudden, took the binoculars, moved close to one eye and adjusted it, showing a naive and brilliant attitude.

"What was your childhood like? It sounds very desirable." He watched her play with the telescope happily and skillfully, showing a look of leisurely fascination.

Maozi smiled lightly, and put the adjusted telescope in front of Guan Xuqing: "Although it is monotonous, but it is very happy, and you can do many things you want to do. But you are not suitable for that kind of life. Sometimes I think you are born to be an emperor people."

Guan Xuqing smiled wryly and said, "You just said it wrong." He turned his eyes to look out of the window, and whispered with some disappointment.

"Why? Isn't it?" Maozi looked at the emperor with a surprised face, and there was sympathy in that expression.

Guan Xuqing was puzzled for a while, then waved his hand: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Let me ask you something, if I don't become an emperor one day, will you still like me?"

The maozi nodded firmly.

Guan Xuqing's gaze fixed on Maozi's face, and the gentle watery eyes almost completely drowned her.Under such gazes, Maozi's heart beat faster and faster, her face became hotter and hotter, and she even had difficulty breathing, but she suddenly blurted out: "Your Majesty, can you explain to me that the moon rises brightly, Jiao People tease me' this poem?"

Guan Xuqing was startled for a moment, then quickly glanced at the book on the table, suddenly burst into laughter, then looked at her and said solemnly: "This poem is about missing a beautiful girl under the moon, especially I miss her beautiful figure dancing under the moon."

Maozi looked at the other party for a few seconds, and suddenly his face burned like a fire. He lowered his head and never dared to look at him again, but just stared at the piece of paper in front of him.There was chaos in her mind, and the words on the paper jumped in front of her eyes as if they were alive, but she suddenly found that she was embraced by him.Although his embrace was unusually warm, there was a layer of chill on her body.She was forced to look up at him, and found that he was as nervous as herself, and she could even feel the arms around her trembling slightly.
