Emperor's Lazy Queen

Chapter 36

"The emperor is in court!" Du Xiaoyue laughed dryly, and teased Tan Wenhao's eyes, only then did she realize that she was covered with a fox fur coat.Quickly got up, took off the coat, and put it aside, "Thank you for this!"

"I've seen the contract you wrote." Tan Wenhao pointed to the Xue Tao paper that Du Xiaoyue put on the desk. It was densely written with small characters in official script. The fonts are elegant but not lacking in strength. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine. This is from the hand of a woman in the boudoir; the content of the contract is so delicate that there are hardly any loopholes or ambiguities. "I have no objection to this, but what does the last sentence 'the final interpretation right belongs to Du Xiaoyue' mean?"

Du Xiaoyue was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that when writing the contract just now, she was too heavily influenced by modern advertisements, so she actually wrote this sentence in it! "Your Majesty, what this sentence means is that if you want to modify the content of the contract in the future, even if you are the Emperor, it must be confirmed by me before it will take effect. You cannot change it without permission." Du Xiaoyue replied with reservations. Anyway, this ancient man I don't know this kind of business game, but it can also be regarded as a retreat for myself.

"Oh, is it really as you said? But I think this sentence has a lot of meaning!" Tan Wenhao squinted, "If I sign it, can I put the same sign as the idiot?"

"Uh...of course not!" Du Xiaoyue chuckled lightly, and the smile couldn't reach her eyes. "With the emperor's wisdom, he knows that there are tigers in the mountains, so of course he won't go to the Tiger Mountain!" Admit that you have other intentions?

To be honest, Tan Wenhao likes listening to Du Xiaoyue's flattery very much, because every time she flatters, it will not have the effect she expected; His expression flashed by. "Then should this sentence be deleted?" At this time, the suppressed anger in Du Xiaoyue's eyes pleased Tan Wenhao, and she leaned back and asked with a smile, "Or should I change the final interpretation right to me? Can you please?" Remember clearly, now you have something to ask of me."

Of course Du Xiaoyue knew that she was the weaker party now, and she took the initiative to negotiate with him, to find opportunities for herself to leave the palace legally, and also to find a way for herself not to be trapped in the cold palace forever after the Du family fell. "This point, the emperor can change it at will, I just ask that I can leave the palace after I complete the content stipulated in the contract." People have to bow their heads under the eaves, as long as they can leave the palace, it doesn't matter if there is a way out .

"You don't seem to be willing at all?" Tan Wenhao didn't miss the forbearance in Du Xiaoyue's words, she should be a proud person, she didn't allow her girl to be bullied, and tried her best to get out of the palace.But Tan Wenhao didn't know why Du Xiaoyue chose this path, and asked him to let her out of the palace conditionally.

"No, the concubine is willing!" Du Xiaoyue lowered her head and said indifferently, as long as she can leave the palace, what does it matter who has the right to interpret it?

"Okay, then please ask the queen to write it again, and change the last sentence at the same time!" Tan Wenhao chuckled, very satisfied with Du Xiaoyue's cooperation.

"Yes!" Du Xiaoyue suddenly felt cheated. If he really added this sentence, what should he do if he regretted it in the end?But he is the king of a country, as long as he signs, he will not go back on his word, he should agree to let him out of the palace - even if he is released as a sinful servant, it is also possible!As long as you leave the palace, everything will be easy to handle!
However, in this room, apart from the set of tables and chairs that Tan Wenhao now occupies, only the bookshelves are left. "Your Majesty, may I ask where do I write?"

"Eunuch Liu, set up another small table next to me!" Tan Wenhao raised his voice slightly, and shouted outside the closed door.

mean!Thought he would borrow his desk for his own use!Just now when he left himself here to go to court, he asked the palace servants to bring in a small table, and after he finished writing, he ordered someone to carry it away.However, Du Xiaoyue didn't care about these things. You must know that ordinary people are not allowed to touch the things used by the emperor, unless someone doesn't want to die!
The boss is the boss, and less than 2 minutes after giving the order, the palace man sent a small table, a small stool, and a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.After the palace staff settled down, they sat on a chair, spread out the paper, and while grinding it, looked at Tan Wenhao who was reviewing the papers.He read the notebook very fast, he didn't know if he could see ten lines at a glance, his eyebrows relaxed and furrowed, and at the same time he wrote something on the notebook quickly. "Queen, I'm afraid your ink is ready!" Tan Wenhao didn't look up, and continued to flip through the booklets, drawing lightly with the ink brush.

"Oh!" Du Xiaoyue withdrew her gaze, a little embarrassed, she was caught on the spot for peeping.Du Xiaoyue thinks that she is not a nymphomaniac, she just likes to keep her eyes on him/her when studying someone.

After the ink was finished, Du Xiaoyue also started to write on the paper.The faint scent of ink permeates every air molecule in Nuanxin Pavilion, accompanied by the soft sound of writing and turning pages, as if Du Xiaoyue has returned to the era of reading, of course, it is good to replace the brush in her hand with a fountain pen up.

When Du Xiaoyue wrote the last word, she put down her pen and smiled with satisfaction.In the past, Du Xiaoyue's brush calligraphy was very ugly, but after arriving here, the brush calligraphy became better and better. In addition, she likes official script, so it became the current style of writing.

When Tan Wenhao raised his head inadvertently, he saw Du Xiaoyue smiling comfortably, very pure and satisfied.It was the same kind of smile that made people unable to move their eyes away. They couldn't help asking in their hearts: "Does she really want to leave the palace so much? Just writing this thing can make her so happy and satisfied? Could it be that the palace is really important to her?" Don't you have anything to commemorate?" However, maybe she really didn't have anything to commemorate, since she entered the palace, she just quietly lived her idle life as a 'queen', almost staying at home. In this kind of life, what can be worth remembering for her!

"It's finished?" The eyes staring at Du Xiaoyue didn't move away, and her tone became gentle.

"Oh, that's it!" Du Xiaoyue brought the paper in front of Tan Wenhao like a treasure, and stood beside him, pointing to the blank space next to her name at the end of the paper with her slender finger, "You just Sign here, um, it’s better to put your seal on it, what if you regret the appointment?” Even if he is the emperor, he has to prevent him from saying what he said.

Tan Wenhao was a little dazed looking at the scallion-white index finger. "You really guard against me all the time! Could it be that my words are so untrustworthy?" Tan Wenhao asked with his head tilted.

"Of course it is..." Du Xiaoyue wanted to flatter, but she was afraid that her flattery would not be good enough, so she patted herself instead, so she changed her words, "This has nothing to do with whether you believe it or not, it's just a contract. It's just a matter of form, so that there is a constraint in each other's hearts. If the emperor wholeheartedly doesn't want to recognize this contract, I can't help it, after all, you are the emperor!" Let's see how he answers.

"Oh! Looks like a tiger father without a dog girl!" After looking at Du Xiaoyue for three seconds, Tan Wenhao chuckled and said calmly, "If Prime Minister Du knows that his daughter is so capable, I'm afraid I will regret sending you to the palace! He never thought that his daughter would unite with outsiders to deal with him!"

"It doesn't matter how much you like to laugh at me!" Du Xiaoyue turned back to the small table, sat down, and said calmly.Du Xiaoyue doesn't think she is some kind of Holy Mother. Since Du Kangyong can use her to exchange for the trust of the royal family, why can't she use him to exchange for her freedom?Du Kangyong was only thinking about his own affairs and threw her into the palace. No matter what his thoughts were, she was a person with an awkward status and a person who was not pleasing to both sides. And retreat.Now that she knew this ending, why not try to change her own destiny? "You know, not everything is under the control of one person." Since Du Kangyong chose to abandon his daughter, he should be prepared to accept such an ending.

Listening to Du Xiaoyue's analysis, Tan Wenhao couldn't help but be impressed by her thoughtfulness, but as a child, she was too heartless to do so; it can be said that she was heartless, but she was affectionate and righteous to her girls.So, what kind of her is the real her? "In this case, I want you to do the first thing for me!" Tan Wenhao got up, walked to the bookshelf, took out a book casually, and said at the same time, "Du Chuyang went to fight Hong Lang, and the family members stayed behind." In Beijing, I hope to call them into the palace in your name."

"Ah?!" Du Xiaoyue didn't realize what Tan Wenhao meant when she heard it, but she immediately understood that Tan Wenhao wanted to use Du Chuyang's family members as hostages! "Since you don't trust Du Chuyang, why do you let him lead the army to fight?" Could it be that he doesn't know that he should not be suspicious when he is employed, and that he should not be used if he is suspicious?

"He is a natural general!" Tan Wenhao turned around, holding a copy of "Lun Shang" in his hand, returned to the throne and sat down, and began to read casually, "You should know the reason why I did this!"

Du Xiaoyue was immediately speechless. Indeed, Du Chuyang was trained by General Zhongwu, and he was said to be very famous on the battlefield, so he was named General Qinglong at a young age.But he is the second son of Du Kangyong, that is, a member of the Du family. If he is of one mind with Du Kangyong and falls under Du Kangyong's banner after mastering the army, then the whole royal family will be over, so the emperor has to guard against him! "Actually, doing this is not a good way!" Du Xiaoyue swallowed, and said slowly, "I think calling them into the palace will make Du Chuyang feel disgusted, and he will think that you, the emperor, don't trust me." He, let him worry about the future!" Du Xiaoyue didn't want to get involved in this muddy water, thinking that this kind of thing should be what the emperor said, but what he meant was to summon Du Chuyang's wife in his own name. Entering the palace, which means that they will live with themselves after entering the palace.Du Xiaoyue is not a lively person, and she is not familiar with that second sister-in-law, so what's the point of letting her into the palace?Moreover, there is a lot of gossip in this palace, if someone takes advantage of it, won't it cause trouble for him?Although Du Xiaoyue hated trouble, she was not afraid of trouble, otherwise she wouldn't have taken this risky move.
