Emperor's Lazy Queen

Chapter 31

After finishing speaking, Du Xiaoyue turned around and left. Now she is not in the mood to stay here any longer. Now that her face is torn, and she doesn't have any thoughts about the emperor, so she doesn't care.

"Du Xiaoyue!" Tan Wenhao's cold voice stopped Du Xiaoyue who was about to leave, stood up, walked in front of Du Xiaoyue, and asked with a smile, "Du Xiaoyue, do you think you can really live quietly in the palace in the future? Don’t say that you violated the palace rules by hiding forbidden books, but just say that you embarrassed Concubine Li Gui today, do you think you can live your life as a queen safely in the future?”

"How do you know that I have banned books?" Du Xiaoyue raised her eyes and subconsciously asked back. When those books were lent to the maids, they swore not to tell them about it. When it comes to this matter, they will also be implicated to a certain extent.

"As the lord of the first palace, what can I hide from me?" Tan Wenhao replied with a look of course, "So, the empress admits that you have violated the palace rules?"

snort!Just blow it you!The harem is so big, you only have two eyes, what else can you see besides concubines and beauties? "Actually, it's a misunderstanding." Du Xiaoyue began to find a way out for her momentary excuse, because Du Xiaoyue didn't believe that Tan Wenhao would have evidence that she had hidden books. It's not a banned book, it's just some books that record customs and folk affairs. The emperor must have misheard other people's rumors. If the emperor thinks that the concubine's possession of these books is a violation of the palace rules, then please punish the concubine. The courtiers and concubines have absolutely no complaints!"

"The empress seems to like being punished very much, confinement?" Tan Wenhao said casually, with the smile on his lips still, "The empress has asked to be punished twice today!"

Standing and talking back hurts!The current Tan Wenhao is obviously looking for words on purpose, and he will not let himself go for a while.I didn't think much about it, and I didn't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, my nature was exposed a lot in front of him, so I might as well be more casual and let myself be more comfortable!
He turned around, sat on the stone bench, and replied lightly: "So what? I'm already trapped in the cage anyway, so I don't care about losing a little more freedom. It's just that the cage is too big, there are too many birds in it, and it's too noisy. , I had no choice but to shrink the cage where I was locked up and ask for some peace.”

"Do you think this palace is a cage?" Sitting next to Du Xiaoyue, Tan Wenhao suddenly felt at ease like never before, because Du Xiaoyue was the only person in the palace who had no idea about himself as an emperor. begging.I thought her wanting nothing was just pretending, but it was only later that she realized that she really wanted nothing!Although every time she saw herself, she was submissive and frightened, but all her words revolved around one center: avoid drawing her own attention!But, why didn't she continue to pretend today?

"I never said that." Du Xiaoyue said calmly, turning her head to meet Tan Wenhao's gaze.The imperial palace was originally a flashy cage, and in this cage, there was no freedom to fly.Although Du Xiaoyue is too lazy to fly, she still has to flutter her wings occasionally.

Listening to Du Xiaoyue's words, Tan Wenhao understood Du Xiaoyue's loss when he talked with Li Luo just now. "The queen no longer dares to look into my eyes when talking to me, her voice doesn't tremble, and she still dares to talk to me like this." Tan Wenhao tried to start another topic.

"Does the emperor think it's necessary for the concubine to pretend?" Du Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows and asked nonchalantly, "After what happened today, does the emperor think it is necessary for the concubine to pretend? As the king of a country, the emperor , I’m afraid I’ve already seen through this rotten disguise of a concubine. I’m a human, not a monkey, and I’m not interested in being someone else’s actor.”

"You are very self-aware!" Tan Wenhao had to admire Du Xiaoyue's deliberation. After being discovered her true nature, she was still so calm. She had to be said to be a calm person. "And you seem to regard the people in this palace as monkeys!"

"The emperor said he was a monkey?" Du Xiaoyue blinked and smiled. At the same time, she also thought that she would never be able to be a deep-minded person. After talking to a person for a few words and making sure that he or she is not a life-threatening threat to her, it would be easy. Relax your vigilance, and even make some little jokes with her or him.Alas, this kind of self should have been cultivated by the environment in which I grew up.

"Comparing the king to a monkey in front of the king of a country, isn't he afraid of causing disaster?" Tan Wenhao obviously felt that Du Xiaoyue had relaxed her vigilance, and followed her tone, joking around.

"Uh... I really haven't thought about it!" Du Xiaoyue chuckled, "However, the emperor wants to punish the concubine, and the concubine is very happy!" What's wrong, the change of mood towards the emperor is too fast, so fast Even Du Xiaoyue herself couldn't bear it!However, Du Xiaoyue couldn't control herself. In Du Xiaoyue's eyes, Tan Wenhao was not an emperor, but just a person. "Oh! I have followed my democratic thoughts for more than 20 years, and it has been deeply rooted in my bones. I can't change it! Du Xiaoyue, what should I do? In this era of deep hierarchy, will your democratic thoughts cause trouble for yourself? !" Du Xiaoyue sighed inwardly.

"I really don't understand. All the other concubines want to be favored by me, but you look like you are afraid of avoiding it, and you are even willing to be locked up. Don't you care about my favor at all?" Tan Wenhaoqian Smiling, leaning on the table with his left hand while holding his head, Zhuang seemed to be careless, but his eyes were fixed on Du Xiaoyue.

"Uh..." Du Xiaoyue naturally didn't miss the expression on Tan Wenhao's face, the first look in his eyes - he must be the emperor, even if he advocates the equality of all, he should keep an eye on his face to ensure his own integrity at any time. Safety is what matters! "It's not that the concubine doesn't care about the emperor's favor, but that the concubine has self-knowledge. The concubine has no talent, no looks, and doesn't know how to please others. In the palace full of flowers, it is just a very, very inconspicuous weed. Grass. Therefore, the emperor does not favor the courtiers, and the courtiers have no complaints. The courtiers are just very happy, very happy to be in the palace, and seeing the emperor occasionally, is enough for the courtiers!" Oh, what? Does this sound so nondescript?Who cares, let's just talk to coax him first—you can't say: I don't care for your favor at all!
"Really?" Tan Wenhao leaned his head towards Du Xiaoyue and asked in a slightly ambiguous voice.

"Uh...Of course!" Du Xiaoyue really wanted to move to the seat next to her, but felt that it was inappropriate to do so. She endured the unhappiness in her heart, and at the same time, she had to endure the sudden enlargement of her handsome face, and answered softly.

"Yeah!" Tan Wenhao sat up straight and nodded, as if he had a sudden realization, "It seems that I have neglected the Empress! Then let the Empress attend the bed tonight!"

"Ah!" Du Xiaoyue never imagined that this talk about Wenhao would suddenly come to the servant's bedroom!For a moment, it felt like he had fallen into his trap, and he seemed to have fallen into his trap unintentionally!well!Du Xiaoyue, you are really an idiot. Tan Wenhao is obviously a genius, but you still let your guard down at this moment. Who else would be fooled if you don't suffer? !

"Eunuch Liu!" Tan Wenhao shouted out of the pavilion, ignoring Du Xiaoyue's stunned state.

Hearing the emperor's summons, Eunuch Liu hurried into the pavilion.Tan Wenhao went on to say: "Pass down the decree, and set up the Zhaoyang Palace tonight!"

Eunuch Liu gladly took his orders and went away, even the red silk and green bamboo were called away by Eunuch Liu.Du Xiaoyue swallowed her saliva subconsciously, and at the same time swallowed her own voice that wanted to call Eunuch Liu to stop. "Your Majesty!" You can't stop Eunuch Liu, but you can discuss with the person who gave the order, "Your Majesty, because of my concubine's mistake today, Sister Li was wronged, and my concubine thinks that the emperor should visit Sister Li." .”

"Isn't the queen tired?" Tan Wenhao stood up, ignored what Du Xiaoyue was saying, and said to himself, "Let's go to Zhaoyang Palace now!"

He...why is he so disobedient?Judging by his appearance, does he really want to go to Zhaoyang Palace?If he really went, it would be really troublesome!This time, what reason can I use to reject him?Is it still used last time?It is not wise to use the same reason twice!So... what should I do then?Do you really have to fulfill the obligations between husband and wife tonight? "Hello!" Du Xiaoyue panicked, and stopped in front of Tan Wenhao in three steps at a time, with a grim expression and even a little anger.

"The queen has something to say to me?" She squinted, raised her eyebrows, and even had a hint of teasing.

"Yes!" Du Xiaoyue took a deep breath, her eyes were firm, "The concubine respectfully welcomes the emperor to the Zhaoyang Palace!" After thinking about it, this is not a safe place to talk, and he is very determined to go to Zhaoyang Palace, Then go to Zhaoyang Palace to talk!Anyway, after being in the palace for so long, he never looked directly at him. There may be a reason for the sudden change of sex tonight, so we can use this point to make a little fuss, so we don't know who will die!
Today is the happiest day for Red Silk and Green Bamboo since entering the palace.During the day, Du Xiaoyue's performance at the state banquet made the people in Zhaoyang Palace proud; at night, the emperor returned to Zhaoyang Palace with Du Xiaoyue. Judging by the situation, the emperor should stay overnight in Zhaoyang Palace tonight!
"Today, the team has finally turned around!" After closing the door, Qingzhu said to Hongsi with a smile, "The emperor must have discovered the intelligence of the young lady, and thinks that although the young lady is not the most beautiful in the palace, she is the same as that group of people." The vase is different! Red silk, have you seen that, when the state banquet was going to be held today, the young lady choked on the three noble concubines, and their expressions immediately became so ugly!"
