Emperor's Lazy Queen

Chapter 20

"The queen's words... are really interesting!" Tan Wenhao chuckled, changed a comfortable position, and leaned against the couch.

"Uh..." Not angry?Du Xiaoyue was a little lucky. As the saying goes, companions are like companions to tigers, so you have to be more vigilant in the future, and you can't flatter in the future, anyway, you are not a flatterer!However, when Du Xiaoyue saw Tan Wenhao leaning on the couch and saw his hand was about to lean on the pile of books, Du Xiaoyue's heart was about to rise to the top of her throat--Fengyue novels were banned books in ancient times, if they were read by him If you find out, will you get into any trouble?
"Well, Your Majesty! It's already very late, Your Majesty, won't you go back to your own bedroom to rest?" Before Tan Wenhao's hand rested on the book, Du Xiaoyue hurriedly said, "Or, Your Majesty really wants to A concubine serving?" Now Du Xiaoyue is working hard, anyway, Du Xiaoyue dares to swear with her head that the emperor will never make out with a woman who is inconvenient!It's not that he doesn't have other women, so there's no need to 'wrong' himself!

Tan Wenhao felt upset when he heard Du Xiaoyue's words, what did she think of herself as?No matter what I do, I won't let the inconvenient woman serve me.He stopped, stood up, expressionless, and said in a cold voice: "Queen, rest by herself!" After speaking, he flicked his wide sleeves and walked towards the door.

"The concubine sends the emperor off respectfully!" Du Xiaoyue said softly, bending her legs slightly.

Seeing the disappearing bright yellow figure, Du Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief: "Phew! I finally coaxed away the trouble!"

At this moment, with a "creak", the door was pushed open.When Du Xiaoyue heard that the door was pushed open again, she was startled, thinking that Tan Wenhao would go and come back again, so she turned her head quickly and saw that the person who came was the red silk, and her heartbeat returned to normal. "Red Silk, from now on, can you knock on the door first before entering?" Du Xiaoyue felt that after tonight's incident, even when Red Silk and Green Bamboo entered her house, she had to knock on the door first and give a secret signal, otherwise, how could she Tian was scared to death by their silence, so there is nowhere to seek justice!

"Miss, did the emperor leave just like that?" Hong Si went straight to the point and asked the most concerned question.

"You..." Du Xiaoyue looked at the red silk up and down, she had already changed her clothes and added a thick coat, suddenly she understood something, and asked coldly, "You put the emperor in, didn't you?" ?”

"When I was about to go back to sleep, I heard someone calling the door. When I opened the door, it turned out to be the emperor." Hongsi lowered her head and said softly, "The emperor asked if the empress was asleep. I answered truthfully, but the emperor told me not to use it." The notification came right in..."

"Okay! What happened tonight is an accident!" Du Xiaoyue interrupted Hongsi's words, walked to the bed, spread the quilt by herself, and Hongsi also stepped forward to help.Du Xiaoyue simply handed over all the work to Hongsi, "Red silk, no matter who enters my room in the future, I will ask for my permission, especially the emperor!" Du Xiaoyue also knew that the emperor was deliberately ignoring her after being in the palace for so long, and Du Xiaoyue He is also happy to be left out, but he suddenly came to Zhaoyang Palace tonight!Even if he was lucky enough to escape this catastrophe tonight, if one day he gets excited and comes to Zhaoyang Palace again, what kind of reason should he use?
"Why? Miss?" Hongsi couldn't understand why Du Xiaoyue was so unhappy about the emperor's arrival, "Miss is not happy that the emperor can come to Zhaoyang Palace, but feels that she is suffering?"

"Heh!" Du Xiaoyue smiled softly, sat on the bed, leaned against the head of the bed, and asked softly to Hongsi who was puzzled, "Hongsi, you have read so many Fengyue novels, how do you feel?" ? Are you envious of those people who are in love with each other?"

"Miss..." Hongsi was puzzled at first, then her eyes lit up, and she asked, "Could it be that Miss already has someone in mind? That's why Miss doesn't care if the emperor..."

"Well, let's take it as it is!" Du Xiaoyue didn't want to explain too much, she smiled slightly, and patted Hongsi's face that was surprised by Du Xiaoyue's words, "Okay, Hongsi chick, go back to the room and go to sleep! I Going to bed too!" After speaking, he yawned twice in a cooperative manner.

"Yes! The red silk is back." The red silk bowed before leaving. At the same time, she was thinking about who Du Xiaoyue was talking about!As far as Hongsi knows, when Du Xiaoyue was still in Du's house, she didn't seem to have been out of the house, so she didn't have the opportunity to meet men outside, even if she was a manservant at home, she rarely saw her. Who is it?
Du Xiaoyue didn't care about what Hongsi was struggling with at the moment, and went to see Duke Zhou within a few minutes of lying on the bed.

When Du Xiaoyue's foot restraint was lifted, it was already spring.

"Miss, look at the warm spring, don't you want to go out for a walk?" Hong Si tried her best to persuade Du Xiaoyue who was lying under the pear tree. In the past two months, Zhaoyang Palace has been very quiet. When foreign visitors came to visit, Du Xiaoyue was also happy and at ease, besides eating, drinking, sleeping and reading, she also sat or lay in a daze.

Red Silk and Green Bamboo were afraid that Du Xiaoyue would get sick from boredom, so after Du Xiaoyue lifted the ban, they began to lobby for Du Xiaoyue to step out of the palace gate and go for a walk in the imperial garden. "Miss, I heard from other maids that the imperial garden is full of flowers these days. Miss has stayed in Zhaoyang Palace for two months and hasn't gone out. Isn't it boring? Why don't you go to the imperial garden?" How about going?"

Du Xiaoyue's half-closed eyes finally opened, looked at the expectant faces of the red silk and green bamboo, and said with a smile: "Okay! I just want to go out to loosen my muscles and bones too!" After two months of retreat, it was really moldy !

"Then I'll go get ready!" Qingzhu said happily and was about to run into the room.

"What's there to prepare? Green bamboo, red silk, let's go out like this!" Du Xiaoyue sat up and straightened her clothes slightly, "Well, Qingzhu, go and tell the other court ladies and eunuchs, let's go out for a walk today , as long as you don’t delay the meal time!”

"Yes!" Qingzhu took the order and left.In the past two months, due to Du Xiaoyue being grounded, the palace people in Zhaoyang Palace are not allowed to go out and wander around without permission. Therefore, this kind of grounding has also suffered for the palace people in Zhaoyang Palace. Fortunately, there is Fengyue at hand Accompanied by novels.

"Oh, I can finally go out today!" Hongsi sighed softly, and at the same time said to Du Xiaoyue with three points of complaint, "Miss, if you are not grounded, you can also participate in the New Year's Day! Listen! It is said that when the emperor entertains the ministers on New Year's Day, Concubine Li Gui brought you to attend! Now Concubine Li Gui is very favored by the emperor, and among the concubines, she is very proud!"

"Hongsi, you're talking tongues again!" Du Xiaoyue stood up and looked at Hongsi with a hopeless expression on her face, "These things are not something we think about, nor are we chatting about! Remember, don't talk about it in the future These words!" When I looked up again, Qingzhu had already come over, "Okay, let's go out for a walk. But I don't want to go to the Imperial Garden, if you and Qingzhu want to go, you can go by yourself! I will surround Zhaoyang Palace Just walk around!"

"Miss, are you going to wear this dress to go out?" Hong Si took a step back and said in an exaggerated voice.

"Huh?" Du Xiaoyue lowered her head, wearing a light red palace attire, very simple, "Yes, what's wrong with wearing this way, I have been wearing your palace attire for more than two months, simple and unpretentious, Yijing Yidong..." Du Xiaoyue suddenly stopped, what do these words sound like an advertisement? "Anyway, I didn't go to other places, I just walked around Zhaoyang Palace, and it doesn't matter what I wear!"

"Uh……"

Qingzhu listened to Du Xiaoyue's advertisement, and when she was about to say something, she was interrupted by Du Xiaoyue again: "Let's go! You go to the Royal Garden!" After finishing speaking, Du Xiaoyue turned around and ran out of the gate in a hurry. He casually turned to the left, ran a few steps, saw a fork in the road, and walked left again, looking back from time to time to see if the red silk and green bamboo had followed.

"Huh...so tired!" Du Xiaoyue didn't know how long she had run, turned a few turns, until she was tired from running, she stopped, took a big breath, and looked around at the same time. "Uh... where is this place? It looks so decayed!" Du Xiaoyue straightened up and carefully looked at the palace wall whose red paint had fallen off most of it. "More than half of the paint has fallen off. It should be that no one has repaired it for a long time! Well, this road looks like it hasn't been cleaned for a long time, so it can be seen that no one has been here for a long time! Sigh! I didn't expect there to be such a road in the palace." A forgotten corner!"

Stepping on the thick dust, walking along the palace wall, turning a corner, smelling a faint fragrance, looking around, a few branches of red apricots in full bloom protruded from the top of the wall. "It turns out that there are such lively flowers in this quiet place!"

A few steps forward, there is a small door, the door is very old, the original color can no longer be seen.The door was ajar, with a slight push, the door opened, dust was flying, and spider silk blocked the door.

"Cough! No one has been here for a long time!" Du Xiaoyue took out the handkerchief she was carrying with her, and removed the spider webs blocking her eyes. "I don't know which concubine lived here before. Such a waste!"

Entering through the small door, what Du Xiaoyue saw was a forest of apricot blossoms in full bloom.Red clouds bloom on the vigorous apricot tree, and they are beautiful and charming, competing to enjoy the great spring. "Wow! I didn't expect there to be such a luxuriant apricot blossom forest in this imperial palace!" Dazzled by the red clouds, Du Xiaoyue ran into the forest with joy, inhaling the strong scent of flowers in the air.

Breaking off a branch of red apricot, Du Xiaoyue looked and looked again and again, trying to pick off the apricot flower, but she couldn't do it no matter what.When you look up, you can see the afternoon sun shining through the flowers on the branches, and the breeze helps, the sun and the flowers dance hand in hand, mischievous and colorful.Looking at the beautiful scenery, Du Xiaoyue came to Shixing, and chanted casually: "Red apricots are planted against the wall by the sun..." After chanting half a sentence, she couldn't remember what the next sentence was.
