Her Majesty Was Pregnant Before Entering the Palace

   Chapter 404 The king is happy

   There are only four or five paintings in this area, what is it?

   In a study in the mansion next to the imperial mausoleum, there are many, many such portraits.

   During the period of guarding the imperial mausoleum, in addition to reading and practicing qigong, his spare time was painting.

  Each painting is of the same woman.

   On a cold spring night, on a lazy summer afternoon, on a snowy winter morning.

  He sat upright in the study, holding a pen, carefully sketching the girl's frown and smile, as if she was delighted.

   Such a focused profile made Li Yuanyuan's heart aches.

   She thought she was just a **** and stayed by King Yu's side just to monitor his every move. But before she knew it, her heart was no longer firm.

   Every time she saw him looking at the girl in the painting, her mood became a little more complicated.

   The tragic experience in his childhood made Li Yuanyuan think that he was already cold-hearted and would not like anyone.

   However, during the half year in the imperial mausoleum, she watched Yu Wang miss another woman every day, and she gradually realized that her heart was falling inch by inch.

   She fell in love with King Yu.

   But she didn't know whether she loved King Yu, or the loneliness and affection she loved him.

   At this time, watching King Yu carefully sorting out the portrait, she asked softly, "Is it worth it?"

"What did you say?"

   "Your Highness has paid too much for her. You lost the position of Crown Prince that was within your reach and was exiled to the imperial mausoleum to endure hardship. When you came back to save her, you were imprisoned in Dali Temple for more than two months after being injured."

   "These things, it's not your turn to speak up."

"Your Highness does not have the right to ask your concubine. Even if your Highness sacrifices your life for the person you love, it is your own business. But... My concubine thinks you are not worth it. Because Jiang Ning doesn't care about you at all. "

  Li Hongyuan was looking at the girl in the painting with his chin up, as if he didn't hear it.

Li Yuanyuan took a step forward: "Today, she came to see you because the concubine begged her, and she came. You have been detained here for more than two months, has she ever cared about you? The concubine is not jealous of her, but I feel sorry for the inhumans you entrusted to your Highness."

"so what?"

  Li Hongyuan casually said, "This king just likes her and is willing to do this for her.

   "Even if she doesn't have you in her heart at all, it's better to treat you better than the guard beside her, are you still willing?"

   "This kind of thing, this king has long known."

"what?

   "This king has always known that she doesn't like this king, that's okay. Anyway, she is now this king's woman. Since this king likes her, he naturally wants to protect her."

   "But Your Highness, have you forgotten your ideals and future? Is it worth it for such a woman who doesn't take you in her heart?"

   "This king is happy."

  Li Hongyuan picked up the food box on the ground and opened it.

  There are all kinds of snacks, braised goods, and even a small bottle of wine.

   Seeing the wine, Li Hongyuan's eyes were a little far away.

  Speaking of which, he spent more than two months in this Dali Temple Prison, and many people came to see him, and they sent a lot of things in secret. But no one ever brought a jug of wine.

  The last time I made a mistake because of drinking, I was jealous and took Jiang Ning lightly.

   I haven't had a serious drink since.

  I didn't expect Jiang Ning to bring a pot of wine.

   Does this mean that she has forgiven what happened that time?

  Li Hongyuan took out the jug, poured himself a glass of wine, and squeezed a piece of jerky and put it in his mouth.

  The dried meat is fresh, fragrant and tender, just right for drinking.

  The people who eat it are very heartfelt.

  Li Hongyuan was a little surprised.

   This is what she made by herself?
