Cold Emperor Loves Consort Ardently - C164
She smiled. “Let’s not talk about this anymore. Anyway, I’m really happy today. Ever since I received news that you had found me in the northwest, I have been thanking Bodhisattva Guan Yin for your blessing. I look forward to your return every day.”
It was evident that she also had a lot of worries. I sighed and said, “You’re just like my mother. No matter how far I go, you will always worry about me.”
She snappily squeezed my hand, “Yun Zhiqiu, are you courting death? When I was young, what was your mother?”
“Hehe, and this young lady is still young. Empress, ah.” It can never be a lady.
At this moment, the door creaked open again, and the reason was revealed. “Empress, the emperor said the young prince is crying. Esteemed wangyi, please go out and coax the young prince.”
Lu Yao chuckled and said softly, “It can’t be that he was crying on purpose, right?”
Ye Zichen laughed, “Hehe, if that narrow-minded person of his hears about it, you won’t be able to finish and leave.” I tapped her forehead.
“It’s hard to say. Seriously, didn’t he just come back from the northwest with you? Why are you talking to me for a while? He’s so nosy, Zhi Qiu, between you and him … ” Her eyes were wary, afraid to ask too much, and she knew it was my sore spot.
I whispered, “I just don’t want to worry about it, and I don’t want to remember the pain forever, but I still need time to get used to it.”
“He really dotes on you, Zhiqiu. Perhaps he truly dotes on you.” Luyao took my hand. “Don’t underestimate yourself. You deserve to be cared for.”
I also nodded. “That’s true. If you look down on yourself, no one will be able to look up to you. Thank you for letting me down. You are truly the empress of the universe.”
“Zhiqiu, I should leave as well. Otherwise, the emperor would really get angry, so don’t be in such a hurry to come greet me. First, adjust your body, then I’ll come see you tomorrow. Can you tell me more about the three kings, please?”
Was this still the proud and carefree Lu Yao?
Alas, she still couldn’t get out of Xia Junchang’s shadow.
She immediately raised her head and laughed. “Alright, I won’t trouble you anymore. The emperor is about to kill his way in.”
He opened the door and went out, watching him walk up and down the hall.
The door opened to glare at Lu Yao with some anger, and Lu Yao laughed, “I’ve made Your Imperial Majesty wait a long time. Your Imperial Majesty can rest assured that your concubine and younger sister Zhiqiu have chatted for quite some time.
He raised his eyebrows and said, “The empress is quite considerate.”
The two of them spoke a little weirdly, and even I felt awkward when I looked at them. One was the Emperor and the other was the Empress. Logically speaking, the two of them could be considered old acquaintances.
As soon as Lu Yao left, he looked at me resentfully. “Are you laughing secretly?”
“How could that be?” The corner of my lips curled up as he raised his sleeves to treat me. I immediately corrected myself, “Alright, alright. I’m smiling. I’m laughing, alright?”
“Why are you laughing?” He put his hands on his hips and looked at me in a good mood.
“I’m laughing about you and Lu Yao. Sigh, it can be considered formal, but it’s so weird.”
He snappily grabbed my hand and fiercely pinched my face. “How is this funny? I, the Empress, also don’t have any feelings. Don’t you think that the little girl you’ve seen before, a stubborn woman, has suddenly become your wife? How can we get along?”
It was a pity he said it so eloquently.
I smiled. “That would be all for the empress dowager’s sake. You can’t keep doing this, can you?”
“Then what do you want with me? Didn’t you say that you don’t like me spoiling other women?” He bit my neck.
“Did I say that?” I really didn’t.
However, he smiled and kissed me on the cheek. “I can tell even if you don’t say it. Don’t think that I don’t know that you put your feelings in your heart. I also don’t care that you don’t know anything.”
“You’re really smart. Poor Lu Yao. Serves you right to be dragged into the benefits of this palace. You too, why don’t you go back to your own palace and rest?” Walk around here.
He hugged my waist from behind as if I was shaking something. “Zhen won’t go back. A bunch of people outside the palace want to fight with Zhen for you. Empress of the palace also intervenes.”
“Didn’t you say you were crying?” I took his hand, but he held my own. “I cried. I fell asleep again.” After sitting on the high imperial concubine bed, he said, “Eunuch Chen, bring up the nest of the Snow Toad.” He pointed at my nose and said, “I will let your body get better. I won’t lie to her.”
If only he had skipped all the injuries he had once suffered. Really, how nice he was now.
However, these things will quietly float up to my heart, in the sweetest time, will cover a few shadow.
He personally spooned it onto my lips. I pursed my lips and shook my head. “I don’t want to eat these. It’s not good.” Actually, it’s good to be in good health, why must you take so much nourishment?
“I rarely take care of people like this.” He looked at me with his shiny black eyes.
He opened his mouth to take a bite, but before he could swallow, a second bite was stuffed in, and he kept staring at my mouth.
I took a bite and ate. I stared at him, refusing to allow him to feed me in such a domineering manner. I chewed and swallowed slowly. This was the same as comparing speed.
With only half a bowl left, he let his father-in-law carry it away. “Alright, I’ve asked the imperial physician. There are some ointments that can let your skin moisturize white.”
“Forget it, just let nature take its course. I’m already used to it myself.” “Your majesty, Feng Liang is going to be dark soon. Let’s return to the Imperial Palace first.” I let him go implicitly.
He did understand, however, as he nodded and smiled, “Then I’ll go back first. I’ll come see you again tomorrow. Don’t think too much about it and rest. We’ll be together for a very long time.”
I walked him out of the main hall and watched as his carriage crossed the white jade bridge and slowly disappeared before my eyes. I heaved a sigh of relief.
Sometimes, I really feel that I need some time and quiet to calm myself down. When I am eating dinner, there are a few more dishes. Surprisingly, they are the dishes from the northwest. I smiled. He was really deep in thought.
At night, I was full of energy. I wanted to turn over, I wanted to learn to crawl, my eyes were always on top of me, I could see who I was more and more. My eyes were like Lin Shangyi’s, so beautiful, like a blooming crabapple.
However, he was a good kid, he wouldn’t cry even if he wasn’t hungry and didn’t change his diapers.
All the decorations in the palace are still the same as before. The dorm room is still the same as before, the book, I’m still fighting back as if I never left it, but the lotus leaves outside the window are a bit broken.
Remembering how he tortured me, telling me to pluck the lotus root, the cold feeling of sliding into the water was still so vivid. Sometimes he was so gentle and affectionate, but sometimes he was also so heartless.
One person can be in many ways, but in so many ways I have to put it aside and only choose to believe in one. It’s really a bit difficult. After all, I’m a human and not a dog. It wasn’t the puppy that came running over to fawn on him after kicking him once.
I’ve heard that cats are different from dogs. You can treat a dog ten times and beat it up to chase it away, but the dog still doesn’t leave its owner. However, cats are different.
I don’t want to be a very stubborn person, and I don’t want to be the kind of person who comes and goes as he pleases.
Only by loving yourself more could you become the best.
Xia Juntang’s words were always true, and the memory of him from that day still floated in my mind. I was thinking, if we hadn’t given up that day, if we had knelt together and begged the Emperor, what would have been the outcome?
However, when I touched the bed, I actually slept soundly. It wasn’t until the sunlight shone into the hall that I realized what time of the night it was. The reason was that it was almost noon, causing me to blush a little and quickly wash my face and comb my hair.
But after cleaning up, what would he do? After a while he fell asleep again.
There was always so much time in the palace.
“Esteemed wanyi, the emperor is going to the back garden.” Eunuch Chen respectfully invited me.
Before he arrived, he saw a kite of seven colors flying in the sky. In that green area, he was sitting in a comfortable light colored robe on a grass field. He held a ball of thread in his hand and was lying there, looking at me and happily crying, “Zhiqiu, come over here and let me play with you.
The kite whooshed against the wind and flew higher and higher. There were a few others on the ground, their long tails flapping.
“Zhiqiu, here, let me show you this.” He gave me what he had in his hand.
I took it and ran with the wind. It was a pity that the kite couldn’t fly up there no matter what. He laughed happily, “Yun Zhiqiu, why are you so stupid? Give it to me.”
It turned out that kites could bully people as well. He had already put it on. The kite flew higher and higher against the wind. I raised my head to look at it. “It’s so high.”
“Of course, I did. After I became the emperor, I put quite a bit of effort into this.” He said complacently, “I’ve brought back everything I had when I was young.”
“I didn’t let her go when I was young. My mom didn’t like me running too fast. She said that if a girl runs too fast, there would be only one person left.” Mother’s words were always very strange, but he could understand a little now. He didn’t know if there was a pit in front of him or not. If he was slow, at least he wouldn’t take a detour and wouldn’t be so lonely as to not know the direction.
“I’ll carry you and run.”
“Sure.” I simply took off my shoes. “Let’s have a race and see who can outrun who.” In any case, he had his own place, so there was no need to pay attention to palace rules, and he was not worried about getting people to complain.
“One, two, three.” It’s my call, but I ran out before I could count to three. What a joke, how could I outrun him?
“Don’t let This Emperor catch up to you.” he cried snappily, with a doting smile in his eyes.
The feeling of her feet touching the green grass was really good. Lying on the grass, exhausted, he turned around and looked at me. “Yun Zhiqiu, you lazy cat, you’ve only run for a short while, but the feeling of lying on the grass is pretty good.”
I looked at the colorful kite flying in the sky, the wind suddenly tightened, the palace maid called out, the original line is cut.
The ownerless kite was flying further and further away. This was great! A kite without a string could now fly freely.
However, he said, “Is that really pitiful? In the future, it will be ownerless. I can only let the wind blow wherever it blows.”
I sat up. “I’m hungry.”
“I only just got up.” He cut me a glance.
“Yes.”
“Lazy cat.” he said intimately.
Eunuch Chen took my shoes, but he was faster than me. He grabbed them and placed them at my feet, then grabbed one of my feet and gently brushed the grass off before putting them on me.
Then, catching the other one, I blushed and said, “I’ll do it.”
“Your feet are beautiful.” He said admiringly, “The toes are white, like little white rabbits.”
Warm hands, stretching from the soles of my feet to the deepest part of my heart, I heard the sound of ice breaking.
The exalted Emperor, the Emperor of the Nine Five Supremes, actually gave me shoes to wear. If his empress dowager saw this, it’d be a wonder if she didn’t teach us a lesson.
At lunchtime, Eunuch Zhang said, “Your majesty, Lang Teng has already presented the betrothal gift.”
“I’ll do whatever I have to do.” He spoke calmly.
I was a bit worried. “Your majesty, is this alright?” This was clearly a lie to Lang Xiao.
He stared at me and said, “This is for the best. I have shown him some tolerance. It’s not like you don’t know what he wants from me. How dare you, hmph.”
I didn’t expect him to have the guts either, but it wasn’t good for the emperor to lie to him like that.
“Don’t worry, I’ve found a woman who can portray you, so he shouldn’t really cry.” He smiled, “Although I would like to see how that wild and unruly Langtung man cries.”
“Your Majesty, you’re really up to no good. What he wants might not be something like me, so you don’t have to guess. He really looks down on the women we have in this world. I thought highly of him because we jumped into a lake in order to avoid the buffaloes on the prairie, and it turned out to be a muddy lake, which sank as soon as we entered. In the end, when I couldn’t get up, I pulled at his belt and ran out to stop one of the buffaloes and used that force to pull him out. ”
“Your face was also injured at that time?” he asked flatly.
“Yeah.” I nodded seriously.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer so much in the future. A woman who isn’t afraid of death still dares to step out. Do you know that those cows will attack people? Once you step over, even if you have nine lives, it won’t be enough for you, Yun Zhiqiu.” After the consolation, he reprimanded her.
Even more than my mother, I covered my ears. “That was forced.”
He snappily pulled my hand down, “Why aren’t you listening? I’ll ask you, if I fell down one day, would you save me like this?”
“I do.” I said quite frankly.
His smile grew wider and wider. I said, “It’s not good to watch people die.”
His expression turned into a dark cloud as he shook my shoulders. “Yun Zhiqiu, you heartless woman, how much do I love you? Yet you keep on fooling me like this.”
