Palace scheming: Empress Leng Gong I

Chapter 56 How long will the emperor be honored and favored (2)
In a fit of anger, Yun Qing hurriedly pulled the quilt over her head and covered her head, out of sight and out of mind.

But her quilt was quickly pulled away by Xuanyuan Ze, and a pleasant voice full of dissatisfaction came from the top of Yun Qing's head again: "Your sleep habits are not good, no wonder you are going to be sick! Don't do this in the future, you know? "

"Your majesty, aren't you sleepy?" Yun Qing was powerless, looking at the man's serious eyes, she really doubted, how could he have such energy?
"Very sleepy! But if you don't fall asleep, neither can I! Brother Yi is right today, I should spend more time with you." Xuanyuan Ze blinked, and his handsome smile made Yun Qing lose his mind for a moment.

He actually has such a sly look!It really doesn't match his status as an emperor, and it's far from his always-faced or angry look!
For three consecutive days like this, Yun Qing's illness was cured, but Xuanyuan Ze developed a new living habit.

Every morning, he would come to see Yunqing, and then have dinner with Yunqing; in the afternoon, if Yunqing was dealing with palace affairs in Qingfengxuan, he would sit aside and read books, or search for calligraphy and paintings that Yunqing created at will. Appreciate the works carefully.

In short, when Yun Qing was sick, he was here to take care of him.After Yun Qing recovered from his illness, he kept dangling in front of her eyes.

So when all the concubines came to greet Yun Qing yesterday, those who had good news began to half-envy and half-enviously say that she just found out that the empress was ill, no wonder I heard that the emperor would not stay in Jinfeng Palace for a few days and so on. .

Of course, among these people, Yun Ya was the first to mention it.Although the other women looked enviously, no one dared to speak up first.

Yun Qing didn't care about it either, she just said that she was already in good health, so it's okay to ask everyone not to worry about it.

In the next few days, except for Yun Qingqing ignoring the man who appeared in front of his eyes every day, other ways of life continued as usual.

It's just that every time she went to Zhuhua Palace, she saw Concubine Hua's eyes getting darker and darker, and she gradually became more depressed.It's just that now she seems to really look down a lot, she no longer has that kind of provocative and disdainful gaze towards Yun Qing, instead there is a hint of sarcasm and sympathy in her gaze.

Looking at Concubine Hua like this, although Yun Qing continued to visit and comfort her as always, she felt that her heart was getting heavier and heavier.

She understood what the sarcasm in Concubine Hua's eyes was, and what she was underestimating.After being favored for a while, apart from keeping the man's dragon species in her belly, what else can she keep from him?
It's just an emperor's favor that will disappear at any time, and she may have seen through everything between getting and losing.

As for myself, from the beginning when I saw it clearly, now I am walking on her original path step by step; this change may make some people who don't understand it envious, but in her eyes, she is just a pitiful person …

Time passed by without pain, and the relationship between Yun Qing and Xuanyuan Ze also became stiff from time to time.

On the [-]th day, Xuanyuanze happily ran to tell Yunqing that Li Qinglan, who was sent to the southeast, had sent someone back to report that the local disaster had been brought under control. Except for some severely ill people, all mildly ill patients had recovered.

He has appointed local officials to handle the rest of the aftermath. He himself is already on his way back to the court and will arrive in Tiancheng in about three days.

Hearing this news, Yun Qing was also full of joy.The plague that had plagued the monarch and his ministers for several months was finally resolved. This was not only a blessing for the court, but also a blessing for the people.Although the people who died due to the plague made people sigh, but those who survived the disaster were even more joyful.

Xuanyuanze was very happy that night. Seeing that Yun Qing was also in a good mood, he found an excuse and stayed in the Golden Phoenix Palace again, pulling Yun Qing to chat with him until very late before returning.

The next day, under Xuanyuanze's orders, Yunqing prepared a feast for the imperial envoys and those imperial doctors and meritorious officials in advance. After Xuanyuanze had dinner in Yunqing Palace at noon, he decided to take Yunqing out of the palace on a whim. .

Yun Qing was a little stunned, looked at his expression that didn't look like a joke, and murmured: "Going out of the palace?"

"Well, I've been bored in the palace for so long, and the disasters that have accumulated in my heart have been resolved. I want to take you out of the palace to relax." Xuanyuanze looked happy, and Yun Qing was a little confused.

He said to take himself to relax, how could he have such an idea?Could it be that, as the emperor, he also felt that the imperial palace was a place of bondage?

"Yun Qing..." Looking at his expectant expression, Yun Qing shook her head after being silent for a while.But before she finished her refusal, Xuanyuan Ze interrupted her: "Is there any place you want to go in particular? Do you want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see your father and the others first?"

"I..." Hearing that he actually asked him to return to Yunfu, Yun Qing couldn't help but tremble, and looked up at him in disbelief.

Yunfu...

With a heartbeat, she couldn't believe that he even offered to accompany her home.

For a woman in the harem, once she enters the palace gate, she will be cut off from the world forever.Apart from contacting all kinds of women and palace people in the harem, there is only one emperor who is more than ten thousand people.

Those women didn't say they were going out of the palace, even if they had family members who wanted to visit the palace, they still needed to be approved layer by layer, and the time was limited.

Even if she is a queen, except for the fact that she doesn't need to be so cumbersome when her relatives see her, the chances of going out of the palace are very few.

"No, Yun Qing doesn't want to go back." Shaking his head resolutely, Yun Qing looked at the man fixedly, and under his somewhat surprised gaze, smiled slightly: "The emperor's special case Yun Qing accepts it! It's just that Yun Qing is rash. Going back will catch everyone by surprise, so let’s avoid it.”

She didn't want to go back because she didn't want to accept the special case he brought her.

Accompanying her home personally is already a great gift to her, but it's a pity that he didn't accompany her on the day she returned home, let alone now.

"Since you have no place in particular you want to go, then come with me! Bi Tao, change your lady into some ordinary clothes, and I'll come back later." Xuanyuanze couldn't help but flash his handsome eyes after hearing what Yun Qing said. The situation on the day she returned home.

That day, in order to deliberately neglect her, he disregarded the mother's orders and personally accompanied Wan'er back to the door. When he saw her outside the palace gate, she was carefully stepping on a slightly old ordinary carriage with the help of Bitao.

At that time, although her makeup was very plain, but for a time he couldn't take his eyes off her beautiful back.

He noticed that she didn't step on any eunuch's shoulders when she got into the car, but just stepped on a small bench that seemed to be specially prepared, which touched his heart slightly at that time.

If Wan'er hadn't called out to him, he would have even wanted to see how she looked back, to see if there was a look of disappointment on her face because of being neglected by him.

The banks of the city are green, the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, and the butterflies are dancing.

At the turn of spring and summer, the sky is pleasant, the grass is clear, and the yellow warblers sing on the willows.

Along the beautiful river in the inner city, people walking in twos and threes, and women doing laundry in groups of threes and fours, walking along the grass on the bank, you can hear the joyful laughter of those women from time to time.

She galloped all the way to the side of the beautiful moat, Yun Qing's face was still blushing, and her heart was beating endlessly with the sound of the horse's hoofs kicking under the man's arms around her and the rein in the other.

When he came to the edge of the moat, he finally slowed down his horse, and Yun Qing felt that his whole body was about to be shaken apart.

She had ridden a horse before, but she had never galloped as wildly as she did today.She has ridden a horse a few times, and that was two years ago.At that time, the wind carried her, and he taught her.

The wind has gone for two years, and I have not ridden a horse for two years.Today, she rode a horse again, but the people behind her changed.

"What's the matter? Are you tired?" Hearing Yun Qing's panting voice, the corners of Xuanyuan Ze's lips slightly raised.

The reason why he ran all the way out of the palace was because the moment he hugged her and got on the horse for the first time, he felt that she hugged his arm tightly because of fear.At this moment, he pulled the rein to slow down the speed, then let go of the rein, and gently wrapped his hands around Yun Qing, so that she could rest comfortably in his arms.

For his considerate action, Yun Qing immediately sensed it.It's just that she is not used to this kind of intentional intimacy with her, which makes her feel like a thorn all over her body, which makes her extremely uncomfortable.

"It seems that someone is reading over there. I have already run so far, I want to go down for a walk." Yun Qing blushed, without turning her head, she could feel that he was looking at her from the side.

Because of embarrassment, she had to turn her head away to avoid the deep eyes that made her heart beat.

"Okay!" Seeming to see through her mind, although Xuanyuan Ze really wanted to walk with her freely like this, he gave up this idea because he didn't want her to be too tired.

Quickly reining in the horse, he jumped off first, and then ignored Yun Qing's embarrassing expression, opened his arms and gently hugged her off the horse.

There was the sound of trampling horse's hooves not far behind, Yun Qing turned his head and saw Ye Ying and Murong Chong also riding up quickly after standing firm.

Seeing that they had dismounted, the two hurried forward to take the reins for the emperor, then tied the horse to a tree by the roadside, and followed the queen and the emperor along the road.

The weather in April and May is the most comfortable season in spring and summer. The cool wind blows slowly, blowing on the face and forehead, making people fascinated like a lover.

Sometimes, getting used to it and not getting used to it is just a matter of time.At the beginning, she was used to rejecting and resisting his approach, but now, she is gradually used to holding his hand.

"Eh, that person..." Yun Qing looked at the young man sitting under a big willow tree, his beautiful eyes were slightly surprised, causing Xuanyuan Ze's palms to tighten, he turned to stare at her, and said, "Why, do you know him? "

"Uh, not so much! If we say we know each other, we met with you." Some dissatisfied, he wanted to shake off his hand, but he held it tightly so that she couldn't pull it out.

Hearing what she said, Xuanyuan Ze originally only noticed her handsome eyes and couldn't help but cast his gaze to the tree not far in front, looking at the man who was seriously reading a book and occasionally muttering softly, he also felt familiar.

"Oh, so it's that scholar!" A picture flashed in his mind, and he recognized that person as the young scholar who was rescued by Yun Qing on the night of Shangyuan Festival.Unexpectedly, today, at the same place, I met him again.

"Well. It seems that your memory is not very bad!" Thinking of the situation that night, Yun Qing remembered that the person around him, as the emperor, tolerated someone bullying the weak under his nose.

If Xuanyuan Moyu hadn't helped him that night, he might have watched himself being bullied by those people.

Seeing the flash of resentment on her face, Xuanyuan Ze was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but chuckle.
