Emperor's Lazy Queen

Chapter 49

"Heh, do I look like someone who wants to confide in you?" Tan Wenbo raised his head slightly, leaned against the branch, then turned his head, looked at Du Xiaoyue, and asked with a smile, "But, what do you mean, you Do you consider me your friend?"

"Of course!" Du Xiaoyue leaned against another tree, and replied with a smile, "I think you look pretty good, and your temper is pretty good, and you didn't speak ill of me in front of your brother, the emperor. I can be regarded as a good match, so I will treat you as a friend for the time being!"

"Then do I have to thank the empress for her gift, and look down on me?" Tan Wenbo arched his hands to Du Xiaoyue.

"Ha! Don't call me a queen, I feel uncomfortable all over!" Du Xiaoyue waved her hands. Today, she finally realized that being a queen is really not a good job. Fortunately, the queen mother has a heart and sent two capable assistants to help I am familiar with the affairs, "Hey, that is to say, you are willing to tell about the things you like to go to the Elan Pavilion?! Hehe, tell me, what does the owner of the Elan Pavilion have to do with you? Is it the one in the court drama? Kind of—you fell in love with your father's concubine, and then you two fell in love with each other, but, your father was separated... oh, why are you hitting me on the head?" Du Xiaoyue, who was speaking high, didn't notice Tan Wenbo quickly moved in front of her, and reached out to hit her on the head with the fan handle.

"Hey, Du Xiaoyue, are you a girl? It's nothing more than reading Fengyue novels, how can you still have such a rich imagination?" Tan Wenbo opened his fan and asked while shaking it.

"Of course it's a girl! I think no matter what Du Kangyong does, he won't dare to fake Fenghuang and send a man into the palace!" Du Xiaoyue pulled her lips and squinted at Tan Wenbo, "You said it wasn't what I thought! That's What kind? You tell me, I'll know!"

Tan Wenbo squinted, put away the fan in his hand, looked at Du Xiaoyue for a long time, and then said slowly: "You really want to know? This is the biggest taboo in the palace. The person related to this matter may be the most important person in the palace. Important person!"

"I..." Du Xiaoyue hesitated, there were only a few most important people in the palace, apart from the current prince, there were also the former emperor, queen mother, emperor, concubine and so on!Knowing the secrets of these people is not necessarily a good thing, knowing nothing, maybe that is a blessing.

"It's good to tell you!" Tan Wenbo chuckled, "I heard that you are now in charge of the harem, and there are some things you should know!"

"Oh? Good!" Du Xiaoyue was not at all surprised that Tan Wenbo knew that she was now in charge of the harem. The palace is so strange. It can be a place full of secrets, or a place where no secrets can be hidden.

"This is a long story, so long that I don't know when it happened..."

"It is said that during the time of Emperor Zhongwu, there was a pair of sisters in the harem. The two served Emperor Zhongwu together. After two years in the palace, a prince was born, and a year later, another prince was born. Then, the younger sister was made a noble concubine. However, the situation in the harem changed. One year after the birth of the second son, the younger sister suddenly fell into a coma After being rescued, he became insane. Emperor Zhongwu originally wanted to hand over his younger sister's two princes to the empress to raise them, but his sister knelt in front of the emperor's Qianqing Palace for two days before Emperor Zhongwu handed over the two princes to his sister's upbringing. Two years later , the queen died of illness, my sister was conferred the queen title, and the eldest prince raised by my sister was established as the crown prince..."

"Uh..." It really is a very 'long' story, even legends are used!Du Xiaoyue was sitting on a branch, her legs were dangling back and forth, her chin was resting on one hand, and the other was holding onto the branch. She tilted her head and asked Tan Wenbo who was sitting on the other branch, "Wait, this is the end of your story. I can already guess the general idea. I don’t need to talk about the fact that everyone knows.” Tan Wenbo often comes to this Elan Pavilion, probably because his sister once lived here!

"Okay!" Tan Wenbo smiled, staring at those nimble eyes, inhaling the fragrance of green leaves, feeling relaxed and happy.

"Then tell me, why are you so indifferent to the queen mother? After all, she is not only yours...but also raised you!" Du Xiaoyue directly asked her most concerned question, "She knelt for two days because of you Woolen cloth!"

"That's because she feels guilty!" Tan Wenbo dropped the sentence coldly, even his eyes became cold.

The sudden visit by the cold air made Du Xiaoyue feel overwhelmed. She endured the chills all over her body, and she didn't want to ask the reason. These things happened a long time ago. Du Xiaoyue didn't want to know or comment on who was right and who was wrong. . "But...do you know...the queen mother..." Du Xiaoyue was thinking about whether to tell Tan Wenbo what the queen mother said that she would die soon.

"Okay, I don't want to talk about her anymore." Tan Wenbo's mood has calmed down a lot, and his tone is as usual, moist as a clear spring.

"Well...then I'll ask one last question!" Seeing that Tan Wenbo's face changed slightly, Du Xiaoyue quickly raised the hand resting on her chin with four fingers facing the sky, and sat up straight, "I promise, this is the last question." A question about your legend. That is, how did you know that the Queen Mother was ashamed of you... her sister, I look at your brother's appearance, and it seems that I don't know about it!" Talking about Wenhao's filial piety to the Queen Mother, Du Xiaoyue could be regarded as seeing it, and would go to ask Ann every two days, sometimes once a day, much more frequently than the concubines in the harem. "And when the queen mother's younger sister had an accident, you were so young, how could you know or remember it!"

"If you want people not to know, unless you don't do it yourself." Tan Wenbo avoided talking about it, "Brother Huang doesn't know about this, and he will never know!"

Uh, sure enough! "Aren't you afraid that I'll tell him?" Du Xiaoyue asked with a smirk.

"You? Will you do it?" Tan Wenbo also gave a sly smile, looking at Du Xiaoyue, "Do you know how to betray a friend?"

"Uh...you...you've got me covered in everything you said. If I said yes, then I'd be screwing myself!" Du Xiaoyue sighed softly. Just now she said that she regarded him as a friend, and with her own temperament, Naturally, he would not take the initiative to mention such a thankless and thankless matter to Tan Wenhao.

Hearing Du Xiaoyue's words, Tan Wenbo just smiled lightly, like a spring breeze, even the newly grown green leaves were willing to go with it.

Looking at that smile, it was like a butterfly flying over the green lake, a slight touch caused shallow ripples.Some dizziness may be caused by too much sun, or it may be caused by too many green leaves, and the eyes may become numb when looking at green things all the time. "Well, hehe, I kind of want to go back to the palace to rest. The weather is perfect for sleeping now." Du Xiaoyue looked around and jumped off the tree as she spoke. Fortunately, the tree is not very high, so jumping down should not happen. any surprises.It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and Du Xiaoyue sprained her foot not surprisingly.He fell straight on the ground and didn't move for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Du Xiaoyue would jump down like this, before she could hold her back, she had already fallen to the ground.Jumping down hastily, Tan Wenbo helped Du Xiaoyue up: "Xiaoyue, you hurt your foot, right?"

"Oh!" Du Xiaoyue wanted to use Tan Wenbo's strength to stand up, but unfortunately, she couldn't do it. "It seems that I have twisted my tendons." From years of experience in traumatic injuries, it can be concluded that there is no bone injury, but only a wound. Tendons.

"Let me show you!" Tan Wenbo asked Du Xiaoyue to sit down again, walked to Du Xiaoyue's feet, squatted down, looked at Du Xiaoyue and asked, "Which foot is injured?"

"Left foot." Du Xiaoyue also kicked her left foot in coordination, and then looked at Tan Wenbo expectantly, "Looking at your skill, you should be a martial arts practitioner, you...you know how to massage muscles and bones, right?" It is common for people in Wu to hurt their hands and feet, and they have suffered a lot of injuries, so they must have a certain understanding of this aspect!
"If not, let me ask which foot you hurt and why?" Tan Wenbo lifted Du Xiaoyue's left foot, but he hesitated when he took off his shoe and patched his sock.

"Uh..." At this time, Du Xiaoyue's mind was very bright, remembering the ancient people's attention to foot problems, and knowing the hesitation of talking about Wenbo, she lightly opened her lips and said something softly, "That, it's okay Yes. Parents of doctors! Don’t worry, it’s no big deal to see a foot. I won’t make you responsible for crying, making trouble, and hanging myself.” If a man sees a foot and wants to marry that man , That would have committed bigamy a long time ago!

"Pfft!" Tan Wenbo laughed out loud, and smiled at Du Xiaoyue with a half-truth, "Even if you want to marry, you have to get out of this palace first, and get rid of the title of sister-in-law!"

"Hehe, that's right! I'm already married!" Du Xiaoyue didn't care about Tan Wenbo's eyes, stretched out her hand and scratched her head, and smiled awkwardly, "Maybe this marriage is so indifferent, it makes me always forget that I'm already married." the fact of marriage."

"Hmph." Tan Wenbo just responded to the occasion, then took off Du Xiaoyue's shoes and socks, and rubbed Du Xiaoyue's wound.

Looking at Tan Wenbo's skillful movements, Du Xiaoyue thought of the time when her mother took her to see the old doctor when she sprained her ankle. "Oh! Take it easy, take it easy! What you're pinching is human flesh, not pork!" Du Xiaoyue's sudden pain made her come out of her memories.

"What's wrong with you being a pig? The weather is so good, but you want to go back to sleep!" Tan Wenbo said angrily, "Otherwise, why would you sprain your feet?"

"Hmph, things that can listen to pigs are not worthy of people!" Du Xiaoyue did not want to be outdone, "Let me tell you, today's performance is abnormal. With a height of more than one meter in those days, I would not be able to jump a dozen times casually." I'll sprain my feet!"

"En." A single word came out of her nose, and at the same time, she put on the socks in her hand, put on her shoes, stood up, and looked down at Du Xiaoyue, "Okay, try standing up, it still hurts Doesn't it hurt?"
