Palace scheming: Empress Leng Gong I

Chapter 31 The beauty is scheming like a needle (4)
"I want to borrow Huaheng for a few days, but I don't know if the fifth brother is willing?" Xuanyuanze smiled slightly, looking at the fifth brother who was getting colder and colder, and seeing his special concern for Yun Qing, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

His fifth younger brother, who was doted on by his mother and father and was once recognized as a child prodigy by the Tianque Kingdom, became a taciturn child in an accidental injury.

For many years, no matter how much care the queen mother gave him, he was always aloof and indifferent, even rejecting himself.

For this fifth younger brother, he has always valued filial piety, and he is very disdainful.

It was just an accident, but he was still brooding about it, hurting himself and others, turning a blind eye to his mother's compensations over the years; obstinately ignoring her mother's grief, obstinately refusing everyone's love, and even refusing to communicate with anyone.

Xuanyuan Ze only felt it was ridiculous for him to send away the palace servants from the first palace at the age of 12 and live alone in the empty Ningxin Palace.

A person who has been brooding about an unexpected event, no matter how talented or excellent he is, will never be in the hall of elegance.

"The emperor only needs to give an order, and my younger brother dare not disobey. It's just that my younger brother also hopes that once the emperor finds out the person who administered the medicine, he can report to the father to deal with it." The cold eyes did not fluctuate at all. Under the gaze, Xuanyuan Yi just nodded slightly, then raised his eyes, and took his leave first.

The last words when leaving made Xuanyuanze's heart skip a beat, and he was a little dazed on the spot.

Seeing his disappearing back, his eyes suddenly closed, and his palms were tightly clenched.

That night, the brocade lanterns in the Zhuhua Palace were shining brightly, and the interior of the Nuanxiang Pavilion was even more radiant, covering the whole body of the people in the palace with a layer of faint colored light, as if they were fairy tales.

"The emperor is here!" A long high-pitched chant made the maids and eunuchs standing at the gate of the palace kneel down in unison to welcome the emperor.

He Ruowan, who had already been dressed up radiantly, also greeted her with makeup, sweeping away her usual little birdy appearance, with a slight look of alienation between her eyebrows and eyes.

"The concubine sees the emperor, long live the emperor!" He Ruowan bowed her head with a respectful attitude, and she was completely different from her usual happy and pretty appearance.

"Wan'er please get up quickly, it's windy outside, don't catch a cold." Xuanyuanze smiled and stretched out his hands to support He Ruowan's body, but she backed away reflexively, said "yes" respectfully, and asked He enters the hall.

With a raised eyebrow, Xuanyuan Ze looked at the strange Wan'er, and didn't get any closer, but asked as he walked, "Is Wan'er angry with me?"

"The concubine dare not!" The faint voice was filled with sadness that could not be concealed.

"You still say you don't dare. You are clearly blaming me for not coming to see you for a few days, right?" Smiling, he took her into his arms again, and said with a smile, "Isn't I coming here? Keep a straight face, I'm going to be angry."

"Your Majesty..." As soon as Xuanyuan Ze's voice fell, He Ruowan nestled softly in his arms, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"What's the matter?" As soon as he entered the hall, he waved his hand to send everyone away, and gently turned her body around, looking at her tear-wet face, he still couldn't help feeling sorry for her.

"Does the emperor not love Wan'er anymore?" Sobbing and wiping her tears with a handkerchief, He Ruowan cried pitifully, which made people sigh.

Looking at the furnishings in the hall, he could see that they had been carefully arranged, but at this moment, he could not smell the unique fragrance of the day, which made him frowned slightly, wondering if he had misunderstood Wan'er during the day.

Seeing her crying so sad again at this moment, she unconsciously lowered her voice and comforted her softly: "How could it be? I said that I will love you forever, why is Wan'er so sentimental today! Look, they are all crying like this?"

He took her embroidered handkerchief, gently wiped her tears, looked at her red eyes from crying, and finally hugged her into his arms, coaxing her softly: "Seeing Wan'er crying like this, I feel sorry for you too." , tell me, why is Wan'er crying?"

"Woo, the emperor also said that he will always love his concubines, but today the emperor gave birth to his concubines. Your majesty, is there something wrong with the concubines, which makes the emperor hate you...Woo, your majesty has never turned over the concubines here. I passed the card once, but today you asked Eunuch Chang Le to send you the regular card for the concubine..." Her voice choked up, and He Ruowan was sobbing that she couldn't speak, but her sad look was not fake.

Xuanyuan Ze softened his heart, slightly dispelled the worries when he came, and could only coax her with the softness of pear blossoms on her face: "I said that Wan'er was overthinking, as expected."

Then he chuckled, pointed to the clothes he hadn't had time to change, and said with a smile: "Wan'er looked at me, she was still wearing the clothes she wore when she was in court. I said that I have been very busy these two days, so I will talk to Wan in the afternoon. Wan'er is separated, I only hope to finish the affairs in hand quickly, so that I can have time to see Wan'er. That's why I asked Xiao Lezi to send me a dorm card to let you know that I will come over tonight."

What he said was logical, but the speaker was intentional, and the listener was even more attentive.

"Really?" After hearing what he said, He Ruowan really stopped crying, and there was a pleasant smile on her face, but the chill in her heart made her hands and feet feel cold like never before.

Once upon a time, he actually started lying in front of himself?In the evening, he clearly went to Jinfeng Palace and stayed there for so long, if Qiuyue hadn't secretly sent someone to tell him, then he really believed him completely.

But why would he say that to himself?Is it purely to comfort himself, or has he already discovered something?
"Well, Wan'er still looks good with a smile!" Stretching out his hand to wipe away the tears hanging on her cheeks, Xuanyuan Ze gently embraced her and walked to the dinner table that had already been set for the midnight snack, and said with a smile: "Well, Wan'er really has a heart, knowing I haven't eaten the food from Wan'er's place for quite some time, but what I prepared is all my favorite food!"

"As long as the emperor comes here often, Wan'er will definitely prepare the emperor's favorite thing every day to wait for the emperor." Her charming face flushed, and He Ruowan gently filled Xuanyuan Ze with the carved gold cups on the table, and said with a smile: "This is fine wine, this The delicacies are all carefully prepared by Wan'er for the emperor. Come, the emperor tastes the taste of the preserved deer and double bamboo shoots?"

As she spoke, she flicked up her sleeves, gracefully picked up a piece of high-quality deer breast with an attractive color, and handed it to Xuanyuan Ze's mouth.

"Well, the entrance is tender and delicious, and Wan'er has a heart." Xuanyuanze nodded with satisfaction as he swallowed He Ruowan's chopsticks with jade chopsticks, in a very good mood.

"As long as the emperor likes it, try this again!" Seeing him eating happily, He Ruowan stretched out her jade chopsticks again, picked up a piece of beef tenderloin, and said with a smile: "This beef tenderloin is fried with white mushrooms. This concubine knows that the emperor loves it most." , I also specially made a portion, how about the emperor try it?"

Xuanyuanze was slightly surprised, wondering why she was so enthusiastic today, reminding him of the Yuhuayuan incident, but her expression remained calm, and she ate again with a light smile.

"Why don't Wan'er eat? I'm not hungry, so Wan'er can eat by herself." When He Ruowan stretched out his chopsticks again, he hurriedly reached out to stop her movement; She laughed at herself in a low voice in frustration: "It's not delicious, is it? The concubine knows that no matter how hard the concubine works, she can't make the taste that the emperor likes. Sure enough, the emperor doesn't like the food cooked by the concubine. Let them withdraw."

As she spoke, she put down her chopsticks and called out sadly: "Ning..."

"Wan'er made these?" Xuanyuanze's handsome eyes were surprised, he never thought that all the food and drinks on this table were made by Wan'er, which moved him a little bit and made him blame himself.

It seems that she is suspicious, Wan'er has always loved her deeply, that's why she took the initiative today, maybe it's just because she hasn't seen her for a long time, she is a little warmer than usual.

As for the unique fragrance, he was not sure if it was epimedium or not, maybe it was just the strong fragrance of flowers in the imperial garden, which made him misunderstand.

Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the chopsticks, passively took a bite of each dish, the expression of joy and admiration was obvious, and he drank most of the glass of fine wine happily, and said with a smile: "Well, I My Wan'er is really dexterous, I never thought that Wan'er's cooking could be comparable to that of the imperial chef in the imperial dining room, it really surprised me!"

"Is the emperor telling the truth?" He Ruowan's eyes lit up, and a look of joy clearly came out of those charming eyes, but only for a moment, she followed closely her long eyelashes down again, and said in a muffled voice. Said: "The emperor is definitely cheating my concubine! Since the concubine almost caused the imperial dining room to flood last time, the concubine dare not cook anymore. But these days the emperor is busy with government affairs, and the concubine has nothing to do in his free time. Then I thought of learning how to cook some of the emperor's favorite dishes, so that when the emperor is free, I can taste the concubine's craftsmanship. However, the concubine's level is still limited, and after learning so many times, she can't make the taste of the imperial chef. The concubine is really..."

"Wan'er..." Seeing the beauty bursting into tears, Xuanyuanze was moved when he heard the deep affection in her every word, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to hold her tightly in his arms: "It's my fault, I almost failed Wan'er and made Wan'er suffer."

Suddenly, he pulled up He Ruowan's hand as if he saw something, causing her to let out a low cry unexpectedly, and then tried to pull back, but he held it tightly in his hand, looking at her fingers with great distress. There was a small wound that was obviously cut, and he said with pity: "Don't do it again in the future, I am satisfied with Wan'er's heart. I won't allow you to get hurt again, you know?"

"Your majesty, this concubine just wants the emperor to eat the dishes cooked by my concubine... um..." Halfway through He Ruo's polite words, her lips were deeply sealed by Xuanyuan Ze. Feeling his stronger passion than before, she first Startled, then obediently closed her eyes, indulging in this deep kiss.

Gently move her fingers, there is still a little pain from the place where she intentionally scratched, but compared to what she got, she smiled happily from the bottom of her heart.

You don't have to make food and wine yourself to eat!Injury does not necessarily have to happen by accident.

Heh, Yun Qing, she is not a woman who would use that stupid method to attract the emperor's attention!When it comes to scheming, she, He Ruowan, is also not inferior to her.

Moreover, she, He Ruowan, will only be smarter than Yun Qing!
