The emperor is reborn, the cute queen is upgraded

Chapter 56
"Oh? Really?" Empress Dowager Xu sighed softly, "A loyal and loving woman like Miss Guo in the play is really..."

"A lifelong private arrangement with a man should be due to the loss of reputation. It's strange that Ms. Guo in the play was not cut off and sent to her family temple to practice." Si Luoyun felt that this Ms. Guo was really lucky.

"..." Empress Dowager Xu's face darkened slightly, and she stared at Empress Si displeasedly.

Si Luoyun didn't pay much attention to Empress Dowager Xu's face, but opened the playbook, pointed to the brief introduction of the play "Jade Pearl Plate" and said: "And this play is called "Jade Pearl Plate", but the concubine also I’ve been listening to it for a long time, but I still haven’t heard any words related to Yupanzi, why did it come up with such a name? The person who wrote the playbook is really strange, I really don’t know what to say.”

"..." The dried fruit that Empress Dowager Xu just picked up fell on the table, and her eyes were already spitting fire!

The concubines sitting in the back also pricked up their ears and stared wide-eyed at the queen mother and empress in front!

This is much better than the play on the stage!

Empress Dowager Xu gritted her teeth secretly, wanting to scold Empress Si but didn't know what to say!
This opera is not a real thing at all!A poor scholar and an official lady make a private decision for life, a poor girl and an official son meet by chance in a garden and make a private decision for a lifetime... Isn't it all the same routine?Why do you have to send it off to the family temple when you arrive at Queen Si's place?Is she listening to the show?

"Pfft! Unexpectedly, the queen is a serious person." Suddenly, a man's chuckle came from behind, and everyone turned their heads in surprise.

I saw Dugu Ye standing there in a brocade and white embroidered dragon robe and a black golden dragon cloak with white fox fur, with a teasing smile on his young and handsome face.

The emperor's sudden arrival made the hearts of all the concubines jump wildly, their eyes were red and their faces were red!
The concubines stepped back and saluted, and even the actors on the stage knelt down.

Dugu Ye walked to the front and bowed to the Queen Mother first, "Mother Queen."

Empress Dowager Xu was already smiling, "The emperor is here. The Ai family thought you were too busy talking about political affairs with your courtiers, so you couldn't come to the theater."

It turns out that Empress Dowager Xu invited the emperor to listen to the play!
Dugu Ye stretched out his hand to support Si Luoyun who was saluting, and said with a smile: "It's rare that the queen mother is interested, why can't the son come to accompany her?"

"Your Majesty, sit down quickly." Empress Dowager Xu said.

If everyone knew that the emperor and the empress dowager were not their own mother and child, just looking at the conversation in front of them, they would think how good their mother and child relationship is!

Si Luoyun retreated a seat and gave up her seat to the emperor, and the tea and fruit plates were replaced with new ones!

"Keep singing." Dugu Ye said.

The servant standing on the edge of the viewing platform gave a signal, and the people on the stage stood up and began to sing again.

Now everyone's attention is not on the stage, nor on the two beauties beside Empress Dowager Xu, they are all focused on the emperor!

Even Queen Mother Xu squinted at the emperor beside her from time to time.

But Dugu Ye's attention was obviously on Empress Si!
"This "Jade Bead Plate" is just a metaphorical name." Dugu Ye explained to Si Luoyun, "Yunai means nobleness, and the plate means reunion. This play is about a man and a woman who are separated for many years. And to be reunited again, so it’s elegant to choose this name.”

After listening to Dugu Ye's explanation, Si Luoyun nodded to show that she understood.

Empress Dowager Xu waited patiently for the emperor and the empress to finish their play, then coughed softly and said: "Your Majesty, these are the two nieces of the Ai family."

Xu Ying and Xu Xuan immediately stood up, walked around the table and saluted Dugu Yefu, "Ministers see the emperor."

Duguye looked at the two stunning girls, but there was no surprise expression on his face.

"These two children are gentle and considerate. The Ai family wants to take them into the palace to accompany them. I wonder if the emperor will agree?" Empress Dowager Xu asked tentatively.

Dugu Ye pursed his lips and chuckled, "The queen mother wants to take the two daughters into the palace temporarily, and honor the queen mother for the son, how could the son not agree?"

Temporary stay?Empress Dowager Xu didn't remember saying the word "temporary residence"!
But Empress Dowager Xu is calm, she also smiled and said: "The emperor, with the stunning looks of these two nieces of the Ai family, it would be a pity for the Ai family to marry ordinary people. If they enter the palace to serve the emperor... it would be a pity Don't feel wronged about them."

Empress Dowager Xu simply made it clear that she was taken in to be your concubine!
Both Xu Ying and Xu Xuan blushed, but they still couldn't help stealing glances at the handsome emperor.In their hearts, one hundred, ten thousand are willing to enter the palace!

Duguye turned to look at Si Luoyun, wanting to see her reaction to this situation, and saw Queen Si frowning slightly with dissatisfaction.

Si Luoyun's reaction pleased Dugu Ye, and he said to Empress Dowager Xu: "Thank you, Empress Mother, for your kindness, but as Empress Mother said, I have all the beauty in the world to myself, and I'm afraid I will be envied by the world."

This was said very skillfully, not only praised the two daughters of the Xu family, but also politely declined!
Empress Dowager Xu still didn't give up, but she also knew that Dugu Ye couldn't be forced!Anyway, today I just let sisters Xu Ying and Xu Xuan show their faces, and let the women in the harem know about the existence of these two sisters!
Empress Dowager Xu waved her hand to let the two daughters return to their seats. From the corner of her eyes, she caught a look of dissatisfaction on Empress Si's face, and asked in a deep voice, "Why does the Empress have that expression? Could it be that the two nieces of Ai's family don't like entering the palace?"

The emperor refused to accept Xu's daughter as a concubine, so the queen mother made trouble for the queen!

Si Luoyun turned her head to look at Empress Dowager Xu and explained: "Why would the concubine dislike the two girls entering the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager? It's just that the two girls blocked the stage just now... It happened to be the reunion between the general and Miss Guo, So the concubine listened attentively to the libretto."

"..."

The emperor and the queen mother sank their faces at the same time.

Si Luoyun leaned limply against the barrel wall.

There was a lot of water stains on the floor of the clean room, and there were two people sitting in the big bathtub.

Duguye took the half-conscious Si Luoyun into his arms, and bit her bare shoulder angrily!Si Luoyun trembled slightly and let out a protesting hum.

Alas, what can he do with this heartless woman?Is it really retribution for his negligence in the previous life?
After listening to the play, everyone dispersed.Until after dinner, the emperor did not send anyone to say that he would go to Mudanju, so Si Luoyun ordered the palace staff to prepare water for bathing.

Who knew that the moment she sat in the bathtub, the emperor would come!He went straight into the house before anyone notified him or gave the queen the time to get up and change her clothes!
Dugu Ye called the maids to come in to serve and tidy up.

The maids and servants who served the emperor and concubines would always see this kind of battle. From the initial shyness to the present composure, it didn't take long. What an honor to be able to see the dragon body and the phoenix body with my own eyes!

"Your Majesty, forgive me!" The maid in front of Dugu Ye suddenly knelt down and pleaded guilty with a warm wet handkerchief in her hand.

The other two court ladies were wiping Dugu Ye's back with a wet handkerchief, and the other was wiping his arms. When they heard the court lady begging for mercy, they couldn't help but glance at her.

Dugu Ye's already weakened "dragon body" raised its head again due to the improper touch of the court lady!
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Fushen, a court lady named Xuemei, pleaded to Duguye, "Did Luomei hurt the Emperor?"

If it wasn't for wiping it repeatedly with something, how could the "dragon body" wake up again!
Xuemei glared at Luomei, whose hair was drooping and trembling, from the corner of her eye, and lamented in her heart that she did not live for her own crimes!

Dugu Ye really didn't enjoy himself just now, so the palace maid Luomei's small hand rubbed it twice and he reacted!But that doesn't mean he needs to pull a court lady to vent his anger!
"Put this girl named Luomei with [-] canes, and then send her to the rough service room in the garden to work as an errand." Dugu Ye said condescendingly, looking down at the court lady kneeling on the ground.

"Emperor... Your Majesty, please spare me!" Before the servants outside came in to drag her, Luo Mei rushed forward and hugged Dugu Ye's leg, begging for mercy. "The slave is just careless..."

Xuemei's hands were sharp, and before Luomei rushed forward to hug the impoverished emperor, she grabbed Luomei's shoulders and dragged her aside!
Another court lady took the plain robe that was put aside and put it on for Dugu Ye, then stepped aside and stood with her head bowed, as if she didn't see the scene in front of her.

"Wuxin?" Dugu Ye snorted coldly, "I remember you, the maid who has been unintentionally too many times in Feng Palace!"

Luo Mei shuddered, and knelt on the water-stained ground so that her dress was soaked!Even though the room was very warm, it made her feel cold to the bone!
The emperor did remember her, but he didn't like her!

At this moment, two servants came in, Duguye waved his hand and asked them to drag Luomei away!

"Shut up, don't wake up the queen." Dugu Ye said coldly as he walked into the inner room.

When Duguye went to the inner room, he saw that Si Luoyun was already sleeping soundly.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of grabbing the quilt during sleep, the emperor and his concubines shared different quilts, so as not to affect the emperor's rest.But Dugu Ye kicked away the quilt that the palace maid had made for him, and got into Si Luoyun's bed!
The fragrance that belonged to her wafted out, Duguye sighed and stretched out his hand to wrap Si Luoyun in his arms.

Si Luoyun was really tired, so she just snorted softly, moved her body to find a comfortable position and continued to sleep!
Duguye couldn't sleep, he found that as long as he calmed down, his whole mind would be on Si Luoyun!This is really not what an emperor should do!
But maybe he got what he deserved in the last life, and the only regret is that he didn't cherish the short-lived relationship with Empress Si, so after his rebirth, he devoted more attention to Si Luoyun.

When she didn't know Empress Si in the previous life, Dugu Ye didn't feel anything, she was his woman anyway!He has national affairs to think about and do, and he has no time to get to know women!

Because I paid attention to it in this life, I gradually understood it, and felt strange!
First of all, Si Luoyun is indeed somewhat different from her previous life, and she always feels that something is missing!However, in the last life, there was no attack on the Southern Suburbs, so this life is not a completely unchanged repeat of the previous life.

Secondly, in the previous life, Duguye didn't know about the relationship between Si Luoyun and Fu Yongjue, but in this life, he knew of Fu Yongjue's existence when he was still King Chen, which made Duguye feel very uncomfortable!
In the end, Dugu Ye had the feeling that he was always throwing out his emotions to Si Luoyun, but Si Luoyun only accepted it, but never responded with the same emotion... as if it was in response to the phrase "closest relatives, closest relatives and husbands and wives". generally.

Duguye promised Si Luoyun that she would teach her how to ride a horse, and the emperor would unseal Yubi on the twentieth of the Lunar New Year and began to formally deal with government affairs.

So on the eighteenth day, Dugu Ye began to teach Si Luoyun how to ride a horse.

Si Luoyun has learned many things under the supervision of her mother Zhao, but she has never learned how to ride a horse!

Dugu Ye picked out a docile filly for Sluoyun, and he patiently taught him from stepping on the pedals to pulling the reins to control the horse.

Si Luoyun is sometimes a little clumsy when it comes to people and the world, but she is very smart and flexible when learning other things!
It only took about an hour before Si Luoyun could ride a mare briskly around the racecourse!
Duguye has a bay red war horse, and Duguye has been carrying it from Chen Guo to Shangjing!
This horse also followed to Wanjing Garden, but the temper of the war horse was not very good, so Dugu Ye never rode the horse named "Lightning" in the garden.
