There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 206

Yulan was soon redeemed, and entered the palace as a court lady, serving Xia Houjue's Jinhua Palace.

Xia Houjue felt a lot more at ease when someone taught him by hand. A hero is sad for a beauty. Wanwan, it seems that I will be a hero again.

The moment Yulan came out of Baoyue Tower and stepped into the palace gate, she was terrified.

"So you are the emperor!" She lay on the ground trembling, her voice was unsteady.

"What? Strange?" Xia Houjue stared at her with a half-smile.

"Yulan doesn't dare, it's just that Yulan's lowly slave body may not be able to..." Yulan blushed.

Baoyuelou's many years of experience made her have a vicious vision.

She knew that this master was of extraordinary status, but she never expected to be the emperor. As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger, and she regrets it now.

What qualifications does she have as a brothel girl to serve the emperor?
"No problem!" Xia Houjue waved his hand.

"From now on, you will live in the Jinhua Palace. You don't have to do anything, just tell the Queen what you think!"

"When you complete this mission, I will personally remove your low status and give you the status of a commoner."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yulan breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't ask her to serve her, but she thought too much.

From then on, Xia Houjue had an extra maid who didn't do anything, but Jinhua Palace's news was meticulous, and no one noticed it.

……

In mid-June, the weather gets hotter.

Xia Houjue took Tang Wanning's clothes out of the palace and went to the Huangzhuang outside the city to escape the summer heat.

Although they were dressed in modest clothes, there were quite a few court ladies and eunuchs around them, all of them changed into casual clothes and followed the carriage.

Huangzhuang has beautiful mountains and clear waters, pavilions, towers and pavilions, and the scenery is very beautiful. The most important thing is that it is cool. Tang Wanning likes it very much.

On the first day she arrived, she couldn't help but took her black leather bow and went to the nearby forest.

Xia Houjue was worried that she was alone, so he simply followed her. The two wandered around the mountains for a long time before reluctantly coming out of the forest.

"The fish raised here are also very good, fat and tender, it is a good meal at night."

"Do you like fish?" Xia Houjue asked with a smile.

"Not only do I love fish, but I also love crabs. It's a pity that crabs won't be delicious until the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now I can only taste the mountain spring fish raised by the palace people here!"

Thinking of the trick Yulan taught him to do what he likes.

Xia Houjue silently wrote down in the small notebook in his heart: the daughter-in-law is greedy, and likes to eat seafood, fish, shrimp and crab.

In the next few days, Xia Houjue followed suit.

Wherever the daughter-in-law went, he followed her, and kept making various records in the small notebook in his heart.

Sometimes even Tang Wanning herself wondered, what happened to this guy recently?Why are you chattering, and occasionally chanting, like a cheat sheet for an exam.

After persisting like this for a few days, Tang Wanning finally couldn't take it anymore, and when she came back from hunting one night, she couldn't bear it and drove Xia Houjue out of her residence.

Returning to her yard alone, Xia Houjue was puzzled with a dark face.

"As you said, sticking to these days, why is it useless?" Xia Houjue couldn't help losing his temper.

"The emperor calm down!" Yulan knelt on the ground in panic.

"Empress, she..." Yulan bit her lip.

"There has to be a process of acceptance. Besides, the emperor might as well think about it again. Is there any other reason why he didn't tell the servants?"

"It's gone!" Xia Houjue was a little impatient, didn't he say that women understand women?Why is it useless?
Yulan knelt on the ground and was dripping with sweat, and it took her a long time to hold back a word.

"Since this is the case, the empress must not be alienating the emperor because of this, there must be other reasons, for example..." Yulan pondered for a while, but did not dare to say.

"Say!" Xia Houjue's tone was stern.

"For example, because there are other women around the emperor, or...the empress has someone else in her heart." Her voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost inaudible.

Xia Houjue remained silent for a long time with a dark face before gritting his teeth.

"It's impossible for the queen to think about others, so don't talk nonsense!"

"As for the former, how should we solve it?"

"This... slaves don't know, just look at the emperor's intentions!" Yulan felt regretful.

She was just a little greedy, and wanted to find someone to redeem herself early while she was still young, but she didn't expect to offend such a master.

The emperor and the empress were at odds, and she was the one who came up with the idea. She was not a roundworm in the empress's belly, how could she know what the empress was thinking?

It's really like accompanying a king like a tiger. I'm afraid I won't know how to die if I get decapitated one day. I regret it. I regret it.

Xia Houjue would never admit it, and believed that Tang Wanning could not have other men in her heart, so he turned his attention to the concubine.

"Could it be that those things happened back then?"

At that time, the women in the backyard were still a tool for him to win over his courtiers. He had no preferences or feelings, only some primitive desires.

He thought that all women in the world were like that, and they only deserved to be treated like that. Who would have thought that Tang Wanning would come and mess up his heart.

He hurt her back then, is it... now that he can't make up for it?
Xia Houjue began to figure out how to make his daughter-in-law feel that he was not dirty.

Another day, Xia Houjue boldly took her to a mountain spring, and before Tang Wanning asked why he came here, he jumped down with a plop.

"Wan Wan? The mountain spring here is formed by the aura of the heavens and the earth. It is extremely pure, clear and transparent. Look at it?" He kept showing her while taking a bath.

In his mind, taking a bath in front of his wife should be able to wash away some 'dirty things', right?

Tang Wanning: "..."

Hehe, how can this person lie without blinking an eye?Returning the aura of heaven and earth, is it possible that he wants to cultivate immortality here like his father?
"The spring water is cold, the emperor should get up quickly, don't catch a cold!"

Although it is June, the mountain is several degrees cooler than the outside, and the cold spring water is no joke.

Xia Houjue washed himself up and down, left and right, before jumping ashore.

He changed his clothes and stood in front of Tang Wanning, and asked expectantly, "How is Wan Wan, is it clean?"

"clean!"

"Then can I live in Xianting Garden tonight?"

"cannot!"

"..."

……

The trick of taking a bath failed, Xia Houjue thought about it and decided to use a bitter trick.

Although it's quite humble, there's nothing he can do about it. He's been a bachelor for a long time and his wife still doesn't accept him. There must be some progress, right?
Another day Xia Houjue went out hunting, and when he came back, he was carried back. He didn't know where he was injured. In short, the blood was all over his body, and his arrogant and cold face was as white as paper.

"Your Majesty!" Tang Wanning turned pale with shock, "What's going on?"

"Reporting to the empress, the emperor accidentally fell off his horse after chasing an elk, and fell on the stone ground..."

"Then why are you still standing there, don't hesitate to announce the imperial physician!" Tang Wanning ordered in a hurry.

"Yes!" Li Dequan stepped back in a hurry.
