Xiangmen Concubine: The Emperor's Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 263
"No, you're overthinking." Ruan Mianmian said gently, breaking away from Feng Jiuyou's hand.

Yeah?He thought too much.

There was a trace of coldness in his eyes, he thought that if she told the truth, he would tell her that in fact, there was no honey stalk in this soup, it was always candied fruit.

He wants a child of theirs, not just to keep the annoying ministers at bay, but also to keep her.

He doesn't know how to like someone, but if he wants the other person to like him, then he must keep the other person by his side.

If he is not by her side, and there are so many people watching her around her, how can he get into her heart little by little?
However, she doesn't tell the truth.

Still, she didn't want to have his child.

His chest suddenly ached, Feng Jiuyou frowned and drooped his slender eyelashes, letting the eyelashes cover the turbulent waves and raging anger in his eyes.

Oh, don't want to have his child, still don't want to have his child.

Then why didn't she send the draft memorial for Gu Ruoying?Why did you reject Gu Ruoying?

Seeing Feng Jiuyou staring at her struggling hand without speaking, Ruan Mianmian felt a little strange, hesitated for a while, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

It took a while for Feng Jiuyou to raise his head, his eyes were evil and charming, there was a slight smile on his mouth, his voice was soft and ambiguous: "I was thinking, should I eat you first today or..."

A servant's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, empress, dinner is ready."

Seeing Feng Jiuyou's expression, Ruan Mianmian slipped off the bed in a puff of smoke, put on her coat and directly opened the gauze curtain and ran out.

There was a trace of coldness in Feng Jiuyou's eyes, and his cold gaze shot towards the servant outside.The servant was startled, and Feng Jiuyou glanced at Liu Yan who was beside Hou, with a ruthless look on his brows and eyes.

Liuyan understands, communicates with her eyes, and will never let that servant appear in Jiuyou Palace again.

Feng Jiuyou then took the outer robe and put it on her body, and went to the main hall to eat with Ruan Mianmian.At the dinner table, both of them were quiet.

Ruan Mianmian felt more and more strange that Feng Jiuyou would always find topics to chat with her when eating in the past, even if they chatted casually, her expression was gentle.

But today, he seemed to be thinking about something.

Ruan Mianmian was a little puzzled, and tried to figure out Feng Jiuyou's thoughts.

She felt extremely tired at the time, and just walked to the gate of the main hall of Chongming Palace with her eyelids open, she saw Feng Jiuyou in a dragon robe.

Later, when he asked Gu Ruoying who he wanted to keep, she fell asleep unknowingly in his arms.

Such a self, so strange.

But when she woke up, her spirit came back.There is no discomfort in the body, even from the bedroom to the main hall, she tried to exercise and try her inner strength.

Everything is normal, nothing is wrong.

Is it true that as she herself said, she is used to the lunch break now, so when the time comes, she will take a rest?
"It's so good, can you lose your mind even when you're eating?" Feng Jiuyou regained her senses at some point, and put her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs on the plate in front of her.

Ruan Mianmian glanced at him, Feng Jiuyou smiled at her tenderly: "Eat it quickly, it will lose its original taste when it gets cold."

Looking away, Ruan Mianmian didn't look at him anymore, and didn't dare to just think about it.

After dinner, Liu Yan came over, Feng Jiuyou talked to her for a while, and took Liu Yan out of Jiuyou Palace.

Ruan Mianmian reckoned that he wouldn't be back for a while, so she slept almost the whole afternoon, but she didn't feel sleepy right now.

The summer nights are cooler, and the night wind blows quietly.Ruan Mianmian was walking by the lotus pond in Jiuyou Palace. Xinzhu was worried that she would catch a cold, so she insisted on wearing a cloak for her.

After walking for a while, Ruan Mianmian stopped.Standing by the pool and looking at the quietly blooming lotus in the night, my mood gradually calmed down.

The uneasiness and fear of the day dissipated little by little in the soft moonlight. After watching for a long time, I walked around the long corridor and sat down in the octagonal pavilion in the distance.

Hsinchu Hou was on the side, keeping an eye on the time, and at the same time keeping an eye on the Queen's situation.

When it was almost time, Hsinchu reminded: "Madam, it's getting late."

Ruan Mianmian, who was looking at the lotus, was in a daze at the moment, her mind went blank.If she really said that she was thinking about something, it was thinking about when, when Feng Jiuyou was happy, let her meet Tianzihao.

Hearing Hsinchu's words, Ruan Mianmian twitched her lips: "Really? It seems that I just came out for a while."

Hsinchu explained with a smile: "Your Majesty has something on her mind, so she can sit here for half an hour. It would be good if it is during the day, but at night, the dew is heavy, and your Majesty's body is important."

Ruan Mianmian smiled, and didn't want Hsinchu to worry too much.After sitting in the pavilion for a while, he took Hsinchu back to his bedroom.

Feng Jiuyou came back at some point, and when Ruan Mianmian returned, he was sitting at the table drinking alone.

Seeing the person with the wine glass in his hand, Ruan Mianmian felt a sense of resistance in his heart.When he reached the door, he paused slightly and asked softly, "How long have you been back?"

Feng Jiuyou smiled, half of her cheeks were in the light and half of her cheeks were in the shadows: "Just came back for a while, the maid said you were going to admire the lotus, so she didn't call you."

Seeing Ruan Mianmian standing at the door of the bedroom, she didn't seem to want to come in, Feng Jiuyou raised her glass at her: "This is the top-quality Zhuyeqing, not He, Huan, or wine, you don't have to worry about it."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, Ruan Mianmian smiled, walked in with lowered eyebrows.

Liu Yan, who had been waiting by the emperor's side for a long time, saw the empress coming back, glanced at Hsinchu, and the two retreated out calmly, and closed the door of the bedroom at the same time.

"How beautiful is the night in Jiuyou Palace?" Feng Jiuyou asked casually, playing with the wine glass in his hand.

Ruan Mianmian replied with a smile: "It's pretty, but it's late at night, and Hsinchu won't let me stay longer, for fear that my body won't be able to take it."

Feng Jiuyou smiled and took the words: "That's right, although you practice martial arts, your foundation is weaker, and you still need to take good care of it."

"Understood." Ruan Mianmian replied lightly.

The bedroom fell silent, and neither of them spoke again.

Ruan Mianmian looked at Feng Jiuyou, and it was really hard to ask the question at the moment.It seems that Feng Jiuyou is not in a good mood today.

Feng Jiuyou didn't look at her, but poured wine into the cups one after another, drank it all in one gulp, and continued with the next cup.

In Ruan Mianmian's subconscious counting, he actually drank eight cups.Frowning, Ruan Mianmian hesitated.

In the end, he still reached out and grabbed his hand that continued to pour wine into the glass.

"Drink less, drinking too much will hurt your body."

A strange color flashed in his eyes, Feng Jiuyou smiled softly: "Do you care about me?"

Ruan Mianmian's eyes flickered a little, and said calmly: "You are the emperor, the king of a country. You have to get up early tomorrow, so you can't drink too much."

With deep eyes, Feng Jiuyou smiled, and said lightly, "Really? I drink very well. If I'm worried about tomorrow's morning affairs, I'd be thinking too much."

Ruan Mianmian didn't know why Feng Jiuyou was drinking one cup after another today, looking bored, she was about to get up to rest.

Here Feng Jiuyou opened his mouth: "You have slept all afternoon, go to rest now, I am afraid it will be difficult to fall asleep, why don't you sit with me."
