The little lady in the dining room

Chapter 93 shows
Xie Zhaomen thought for three days in the Qingliang Temple, trying to make her calm and peaceful, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not a good thing to procrastinate like this.

This is different from the time when he first realized his thoughts, at that time, he was afraid to speak rashly to scare her, and make her become like other concubines, more than awe of him, but not close enough.

But now his vision has been disrupted.

Now that she knew what was on his mind, she already had awe, embarrassment, and it would be of no use for him to let her drag herself on for a long time.

Besides, when it comes to getting along with Sydney, Xie Zhao is still a little confident-I dare not say that she also has the kind of "like" that he has a man-woman relationship, but at least she doesn't hate him.The relationship between a man and a woman is more like "never thought about it at all" to her, so there is still time to think about it later.

In this way, this matter has a lot of leeway for him.He wasn't afraid that she would still refuse to be with him after "thinking about it"—he had also thought about it clearly, the melon that was twisted was not sweet, and if she really didn't like it, he would find her a good husband.

In short, Wan Bian cannot leave the "Zong" of "making her happy".

As soon as the door opened, Xie Zhao sent away Su Zixian who came to open the door.After closing the door, he strode towards the bed in the inner room, Xue Li seemed to be sleeping with his back turned to him, but he listened to his breathing—who was it?

Yu Xiang was very happy to see him, she stood up from the couch and threw herself on him, yelling "Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"" to attract attention.

Xie Zhao hugged Yu Xiang and patted it. This big lion...was as tall as him standing on the couch.

"Sydney." He spoke calmly and calmly, ignoring that she was still persistently dozing off, and said, "The side hall of Qingliang Hall has been cleaned up for you, let's live in there."

Sydney: "?!"

I can't even pretend to be asleep!She suddenly turned her head to look at him in astonishment, her body was empty as soon as she opened her eyes, and she was hugged horizontally by him like this - still with the quilt together.

"Your Majesty..." She was so frightened that her sick face became paler. She was so close to him, and it took a long time to regain her senses, and she hurriedly let go of the hand that was wrapped around his neck in shock.

The emperor smiled lightly: "Maybe you bring Yuxiang over there, and Zixian can accompany you over there during the day. If you need anything else, you can tell Chen Jijiang."

Then he walked out of the room calmly, and the palace people he met along the way all lowered their heads to avoid it. As for the surprise... not so much.

I have seen His Majesty do this once before, the only difference is that that time the imperial catering officer was drunk and passed out, but this time she is awake.

Xue Li huddled in his arms without daring to move, there was no room for struggle, she buried her head in his embrace obediently.

When he reached the gate of the hall, Xie Zhao suddenly heard whimpering and sobbing from his arms.

He froze for a moment in a little panic, then stepped through the hall door into the side hall and put her on the couch.Before she had time to coax her, Yu Xiang, who had followed the two of them curiously, rushed over, jumped on the bed, and then seemed to be about to pounce on Sydney.

"Yu Xiang, go away." He pushed it down, looked at Xue Li who was silent all the way and suddenly started to cry, and said tactfully, "I have no intention...to send you to the bedroom."

what?
Xue Li was taken aback for a moment, her tearful eyes were full of confusion.

He said: "You can live here with peace of mind. I won't force you to do anything else. I'm not that unreasonable."

Sydney can't keep up with him at all!

She was crying just now because she thought of that and felt embarrassed!Moreover, she didn't understand those things at all, and she only vaguely knew that a little bit would be even more frightening, so when she saw Qingliang Temple close in front of her eyes, she immediately felt pressured, and tears came out all at once.

But he actually... didn't mean that?
She sat on the couch and looked at him dumbfounded for a while, trying to put her arms around Yuxiang to relieve the pressure, but Yuxiang didn't dare to come up after being thrown down by him.Looking around, she pulled the quilt over and hugged her, and continued to look at him with tears in her eyes.

Xie Zhao raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "If you didn't care about your thoughts, you would have already ignored it. You don't need to wait until now, believe it or not."

Sydney tightened her arms around the quilt.

She felt that the chest was not filled with a heart, but a whole mess!
Then he left calmly, telling her that he was going to read the memorial in the inner hall.Xueli sat on the couch by herself for a long time, until Yuxiang came up to rub her, and she finally regained her senses.

Her face flushed again, she touched Yu Xiang, then lay down on her own, and hugged Yu Xiang into her arms, Yu Xiang grumbled disapprovingly, but didn't argue with her either.

Ah ah ah ah ah what is this! ! !

Sydney collapsed and rolled over on the couch.Zixian came to see her after hearing Chen Jijiang's story, and was still shocked by His Majesty's arrangement. As soon as she entered the side hall, she saw her writhing like she was about to tear down the bed.

"...Don't get lost!" Zixian closed the door and said, sat down on the edge of the couch and patted her on the shoulder, "I think this is fine."

"What is 'very good'?" Xueli calmed down and frowned and stared at her, "This is Qingliang Temple, I..."

"Do you like Your Majesty?" Zixian asked her with a blink of an eye.

Sydney was dumbfounded.

"I just asked you if you like it, Your Majesty. You didn't say it. Now that you have entered the Qingliang Palace, do you think about it?" Su Zixian said seriously, "Think about why you spent several months doing it for him the year before last. Paper-cutting to celebrate my birthday? You haven’t paid much attention to my birthday, do you like him?”

She spoke bluntly, and after she finished speaking, she was afraid, afraid that Sydney would turn against her in a hurry.

But Mr. Chen said it's okay, so Zixian said it anyway.Seeing that she was silent after she finished speaking, she said again: "Do you know that the paper-cut has been hanging in the bedroom of Zichen Palace for two years? - This doesn't mean that His Majesty has been attracted to you since then, but it also shows that you are There is a lot of love, so think about it carefully, okay?"

Xueli blushed when she heard this, and didn't think much about how Zixian knew that the paper-cut had been hanging in Zichen Palace for two years, and she didn't realize that someone had arranged for her to be a lobbyist.

She reached out her hand to touch Yuxiang lying beside her, and drew two circular arcs along the outline of its ears with her fingers. A voice in her heart said involuntarily: Actually, I really like Your Majesty's...

"Woo..." Xue Li retracted into the quilt with palpitations and whimpered, and Su Zixian said proudly: "It's okay if you can't figure it out for a while. I want to say that you can at least live in Qingliang Palace with peace of mind—I think so, With the kindness His Majesty treats you, he will definitely not force you to do anything you are not willing to do!"

Sydney nodded sullenly.

Thinking about it, she felt the same way.If he really wanted to do something, wouldn't it be easier to count forward the day when she was drunk?
He is still very righteous!

So Xueli basically calmed down, Su Zixian heaved a sigh of relief, and asked Mr. Chen to return to his life!
——It's really frustrating to do this errand!

Afterwards, Xue Li, who had a low-grade fever due to "excessive convulsions", got better quickly, which surprised her a little--shouldn't she be sicker after being shocked again?

On the third day, she basically didn't feel any discomfort. The imperial doctor checked her pulse and confirmed that she was fine. After she was relieved, she began to worry about whether she should take the initiative to talk to His Majesty.

They are all in the Qingliang Temple, he knows everything about her, and then she recovered from her illness and still keeps silent, isn't it too rude?
However, it's not appropriate not to go, to go... She's not sure if it's really suitable!
In the inner hall, the emperor, who had finished reading the important memorial, saw the imperial doctor when he came to report the matter. He was naturally happy when he heard that Sydney had recovered. No, the imperial doctor replied that the benefit may not be necessarily good, but Bubble is also okay, so he mustered up his courage, got up and went to the side hall.

Xueli was so conflicted about this matter that she was rubbing her lion's tail. Yuxiang had been annoyed by her rubbing for a long time and she didn't let go. Suddenly, she heard a sentence from outside, "Xueli? Let me come and see, is it convenient?" She was immediately dumbfounded.

Of course it is not "convenient" to only wear a middle dress, so she quickly retracted into the quilt and lay down, pulled the small couch screen to block it, and then responded: "Your Majesty, come in..."

The door wasn't even latched, so Xie Zhao pushed it in and walked in. As soon as his eyes fell, he saw that she was blocking himself very tightly, and he couldn't help laughing: "Do you remember being embarrassed?"

Last time, she was too scared to spit on him. When she heard that he came, she rushed out in a middle dress and apologized. He felt a little irritable when he carried her back.

Really, it's not like I haven't seen it!

But since she meant that, he still followed her, sat on the chair beside the couch without moving the couch screen that blocked her, and looked around: "Where's Zixian?"

"I'm going to make sour plum soup for my servant..." The voice from behind the screen was as low as a mosquito.

He said "Oh", and said again: "The imperial doctor said that you are cured, there is a hot spring in the back, you go to wash?"

Sydney: "..."

Although she was not allowed to take a bath for several days after being ill, and she was also very uncomfortable, but going to the hot spring...

Another sentence came from the other side of the couch screen: "I will definitely not look at you."

So Sydney, who was "sieged ingeniously", had to answer the matter - the reason why he called "siege ingeniously" was because he had already talked about that, and if she couldn't say it anymore, it was like saying "I'm If you don’t believe me, you will definitely take a peek.” Same.

She dare not!How dare you dare to blatantly say that you can't trust the emperor?
So Xueli was accompanied by Zixian, and went towards the hot spring in the back with a sense of sympathy.

The emperor, who promised not to read it, followed it confidently, making Xue Li want to turn her head and ask him, "Didn't you say it's not good to watch..."

The hot spring of Qingliang Temple is really a coincidence, surrounded by hills on three sides, and there is only a small path between the hill and the hot spring, so it is impossible for other people to hide.On the other side, as far as the eye can see, there is a piece of palace room in Qingliang Temple. The nearest rooms are all built for this hot spring, and the style looks a bit wild.

For example, a platform was built at the place closest to the hot spring, with tables, chairs and gazebos for people to sit and drink tea. There is a corridor behind it, and the rooms behind it.Sydney took a look around, and the few rooms didn't look very big, and there were two small couches, probably because they felt tired after soaking in the hot springs so they could rest conveniently.

However, no matter how you look at it, whether you look at the corridor or the gazebo, you can directly see the hot spring. Standing on the side and looking up, she can see the heat of the hot spring. She couldn't help but look at the emperor again, with a complicated expression...

Say good or bad!
"Chen Jijiang." The emperor ignored her, turned his head and called, Chen Jijiang answered "No" and raised his hand to greet her, and several people moved the screen over.

Five large screens were used to completely cover the platform without any gaps. Looking around, Sydney felt like being trapped in a bucket, and the pavilion above it became a cover—fortunately, the pavilion There is still some distance from the screen, otherwise there would be no light at all.

Xie Zhao sat down calmly: "You go, I'm drinking tea here and talking with you."

Sydney: "..."

That's it.

As the emperor, he has already done this. If she said "I don't want you to talk with me", that would be senseless.So she gritted her teeth and went outside, the eunuch guarding the side moved an opening in the screen to let her out, when Xueli turned her head to look again, the opening was closed again.

Zixian had already brought her a bathrobe and asked her to change in the room behind the corridor.This yukata is specially prepared for this kind of open-air hot spring, and it is very delicately made. The thin and impenetrable silk is soft, and it will not feel uncomfortable in the water.

After changing, Xueli came out stepping on clogs. When passing by the tightly surrounded screen, she unconsciously turned her head to look again, and said, "Your Majesty, my servant... has gone!"

A loud smile came from inside: "Go."

She calmed down and went into the water. At first, she felt so hot that she could only move down inch by inch.But I gradually got used to it. The surroundings are warm and comfortable, and there are cobblestones that seem to be hotter under my feet. Sydney is wondering if stepping on them like this will have the effect of "activating the meridian".

After a while, Zixian actually came with the fragrance of fish!

When Yuxiang saw her master soaking in the water, she became excited, and wanted to go into the water to find her, but she didn't dare to check the depth of the water.It ran back and forth several times on the path between the mountain and the hot spring, and finally got an idea, and stretched out its paws to test the water...

Why?hot?

The emperor was enjoying himself drinking tea surrounded by the screen, when he heard a scream from outside: "Yuxiang! Don't make trouble!"

"Pfft..." The emperor snorted, and for a moment really wanted to go out and see what Yuxiang did again, so he forced himself to hold back, and only asked, "What's wrong? Yuxiang bullied you?"

All he heard was another scream, and he guessed that Sydney had no time to reply, so he shook his head with a smile, settled down and continued to sip his tea.

After a while, it was Zixian who replied from outside the screen: "Yuxiang jumped into the water and got soaked all over, then jumped back to the bank and ran to the side closest to Lixueli to shake the water, and slapped Xueli in the face." .”

Xie Zhao was amused after imagining it for a while, and made another serious idea: "If you keep Sydney away from the shore, won't it be impossible to get rid of it?"

"..." Zixian was embarrassed outside for a moment, and said frankly, "Just now she went to the middle, but she couldn't stand firmly and fell in and choked, so she didn't dare to go over again."

……Fine.

Bad owners of pets are stupid, and Xie Zhao doesn't know what to say.

So Xue Li dodged left and right in the hot spring for more than half an hour, and Yu Xiang was full of excitement, jumping into the water and going ashore, tossing Sydney for more than half an hour.Xie Zhao sat in the screen circle and listened to the movement outside with a smile for more than half an hour. He was quite happy to hear it even though he had nothing to do.
When Xueli landed, went into the house, washed her body with clean water, and then changed clothes again, and finally had to go to see His Majesty again.

The hair is still wet...

He probably didn't peek...

She thought about one sentence and one sentence in her heart, and she didn't know what she cared more about. Anyway, thinking of him at this moment was still very confusing.

Walking to the side of the screen, she raised her hand and tapped it lightly. The eunuch inside showed her the screen again. She walked in. The emperor smiled and pointed to the empty chair opposite the desk: "Sit down for a while."

She was still wearing clogs with bare feet, and the soles of the shoes "clacked" on the ground, as if exposing her heartbeat.

She blushed and sat over, there was some snacks and tea on the table, he handed her a plate of mung bean shortbread, Yu Xiang, who was also hungry, looked around the table to see if there was anything she could eat, Xie Zhao smiled and gave it to her The plate of meatballs it prepared was placed on the ground.

Yuxiang eats like a wolf... a lion eats it!Xue Li also enjoyed eating a sip of tea and a snack, and heard a low laugh while eating. She looked up, but saw him shaking his head, and then took a sip of tea.

"What's your majesty laughing at?" she asked.

"Hmm..." Xie Zhao put down the teacup, his gaze narrowed slightly, "Laugh at yourself, seeing that you have nothing on your mind, you think everything is fine."

Xue Li's face turned red again just after he calmed down, and after a moment of silence, he said softly again: "I still... have a chance, right? Is there a way to force you, is there a chance?"

Sydney's heart tightened.

She rubbed her feet against each other, making the sound of wood grinding.After grinding for a while, she put down the unfinished snacks in her hand.

Seeing her standing up and moving in front of him with small steps, he knew that she had something to say, and the moment she saw that she was about to kneel or kneel, he stopped her: "Just say what you want."

His tone was calm, but his heart was actually in a mess, and his thoughts were racing to guess what she was going to say.

——The worst result is that she already has a sweetheart.

Standing in front of him, Xue Li tried to find out what she was thinking about him, but it was still fruitless, so she remained silent for a long time, and she could only say, "I don't know how I feel about Your Majesty..."

Xie Zhao frowned, and nodded to comfort her: "Well, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

She bit her lip: "But...the servant has one thing..."

He breathed lightly: "You say."

She hesitated coyly, thinking that she should say something, but she didn't dare to say it.After a while, when she looked up again, she saw that his expression was still gentle and not unhappy, she finally lowered her head, and said a word sullenly: "Before the servant enters the palace, there is... a marriage contract at home."

Xie Zhao was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect that what she said was such a thing.
