Han Liu realized that she was too preoccupied with a serious mistake and couldn't even realize that the Emperor had come. It was all her fault for being too focused on Leng Qiyue and Prince Mu. She quickly knelt down and called out, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Leng Qiyue raised her head and saw that Dongfang Haotian's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. She awkwardly smiled, slowly rose to her feet and bowed, "Chenqie pays her respects to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is blessed."
Prince Mu only stood up and crossed his arms in front of his chest before bowing slightly. "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Dongfang Haotian said with a dark face: "Exempt. This emperor's beloved concubine won't accept this prince's generous gift." After he finished speaking, he threw the jade pendant in his hand back to Prince Mu.
Prince Mu smiled faintly and placed the jade pendant in his bosom. "Since this duke has gifted it to you, there is no reason to take it back. This duke will not wear this jade pendant again.
Leng Qiyue's complexion was also stinky. She hadn't seen it clearly just now, but now that Prince Mu had said that she would not wear it in the future, she wouldn't have the chance to look at it in detail.
Dongfang Haotian saw the ugly expression on Leng Qiyue's face and coldly snorted. "What's wrong? "Beloved concubine can't bear to part with it?"
Leng Qiyue smelled the scent of gunpowder and quickly lowered her head to say, "Chenqie doesn't dare."
Dongfang Haotian seemed to deliberately make things difficult for him, and he said: "You don't dare? If I were to lend you some guts, would you dare accept it? "
Leng Qiyue inwardly gritted her teeth, wishing she could bite him. However, she knew the consequences of doing so. She pretended to be flustered as she said, "Your majesty is enlightened. Your subject's heart is clear to the heavens."
Dongfang Haotian held Leng Qiyue's waist with a possessive hand and smiled: "In that case, my beloved concubine, please sleep with me tonight."
"Huh?" Leng Qiyue was petrified. She had never heard that a concubine would still be able to sleep in the cold palace.
"This prince won't disturb the emperor and the imperial concubine anymore. Goodbye." Prince Mu finally decided not to be a light bulb and got up to bid farewell.
Dongfang Haotian slightly nodded his head. After Duke Mu left, he tightly hugged Leng Qiyue's waist, letting her stick tightly to his body. He coldly snorted: "What's wrong? Is my beloved concubine so happy that she forgets to thank me? "
Leng Qiyue cursed in her heart, but said, "That's right! Chenqie is so happy that I forgot to thank you all of a sudden." However, it seems to be unreasonable for the concubine who was beaten into the cold palace to serve her. "
Dongfang Haotian's pupils shrank. He smiled charmingly and said: "What? Is my beloved concubine refusing? "
"Chenqie doesn't dare." A wise man knows his place. Leng Qiyue understood the essence of these words.
"Mm, it's decided. My beloved concubine will sleep tonight." After he finished speaking, Dongfang Haotian let go of Leng Qiyue and walked out of the cold palace.
Leng Qiyue was like a deflated ball as she sat on the Imperial Consort's chair, thinking, "What's going on with this guy? Every time Prince Mu appears, he would appear out of the blue like a ghost.
Han Liu said timidly, "I'm sorry."
Leng Qiyue was startled, asking, "What do you mean sorry?"
Han Liu lowered her head and said, "Your majesty, a servant came without warning."
"He knows martial arts, but you don't. How can you keep an eye on him? Besides, I didn't do anything shameful, so what's there to be afraid of? "
Han Liu shook her head. "In the future, Empress must not do that sort of thing again. Empress is the imperial concubine, and cannot touch other men. Fortunately, Prince Mu is a distinguished guest. If it was someone from my imperial court, the Emperor would have already sent them out to cut him down. "
"Eh? "It's that serious?" Leng Qiyue finally realized how inappropriate her action just now was.
Han Liu nodded her head vigorously. "The palace's rules are as such. If a man touches the Empress's body, he will be beheaded."
Leng Qiyue scoffed, "Your words make it seem as if the Imperial Guard would have to hide far away if they encountered an assassin. In any case, if they were to come in contact with the Empress' body, they might as well not save them and perhaps even save their lives."
Han Liu shook her head. "That's not the case either. Empress, if we meet an assassin, the Imperial Guards will have no choice but to touch my concubine's body. That way, they won't be beheaded."
"Oh, that's more like it. Otherwise, no one would dare to save him even if he was in danger. If I were a member of the Forbidden Army, I would rather hide far away. " Leng Qiyue was not in the mood to dwell on this topic. She was still somewhat troubled by the question of sleeping at night.
Han Liu cleaned up the broken pieces she and Leng Qiyue had made and threw them away. After that, she returned and asked, "The Empress is going to sleep tonight. She doesn't seem happy, does she?"
Leng Qiyue rolled her eyes and said, "What's there to be happy about?"
Han Liu seemed to have thought of something and smiled. "Is the Empress shy?" What's there to be shy about when a child is this old? "
Leng Qiyue's face turned red for some inexplicable reason. She stubbornly said, "How can I be shy?"
Han Liu secretly laughed, but did not expose him.
Leng Qiyue felt like she had grown a blade of grass in her heart. In fact, she was very nervous. Although she had a child with Dongfang Haotian, the former Dongfang Haotian was like a child. At that time, he also had an instinctive reaction. Now that he had recovered, he really didn't know how to face it.
Besides, it was said on television that the concubines were stripped naked and then carried by the eunuchs to the dragon bed. How embarrassing was that? He wasn't mentally prepared at all. Just walking in circles with a man made his head hurt just thinking about it.
It was said that heartless people could easily fall asleep, and this was what Leng Qiyue did. She fell asleep as soon as she thought about it, until the sun set and the willows woke her up.
"Empress, it's time to get up and wash up. In a while, eunuchs will come to invite Empress to sleep."
Leng Qiyue sat up in a daze. "Why is it dark?"
Han Liu helplessly said, "Empress really sleeps for a long time. If I don't call you, will you sleep until daybreak?"
Leng Qiyue giggled. "Then why did you call me? Just let me sleep until the next day."
Three black lines appeared on Han Liu's forehead. "Empress, tonight you are going to sleep."
"Serving?" Leng Qiyue had finally woken up. Dongfang Haotian had said that he would ask her to sleep with him today.
"Empress, take a bath and change your clothes." Han Liu pulled Leng Qiyue up.
Leng Qiyue asked, "Erm... Is there a eunuch coming to wrap me in a blanket and carry me to the Emperor? "
Han Liu giggled. "That's not right, the first time concubines have to be like this. The Empress already has a little prince, and he and the Emperor have been husband and wife outside the palace for so long, so there's no need for that." Originally, with a concubine from her own independent palace, the Emperor would stay at night, but the Empress was in the cold palace, so we had no choice but to go to the emperor's He Yuan Palace. "
Leng Qiyue soaked herself in the hot water and let out a sigh of relief. She asked, "Can I wear my clothes now?"
Han Liu nodded. "That's right. Tonight, I'm going to dress up the Empress beautifully."
Leng Qiyue heaved a sigh of relief. She had made up her mind that she would wear the most and take off her most complicated clothes. Then, she would make Dongfang Haotian unable to take them off.
Han Liu narrowed her eyes at Leng Qiyue. Seeing her expression, it was obvious that she was scheming something. "This master's brain is too weak. She would always be eager to climb onto the dragon bed, so why is it that when it's her turn, it's like she's being asked to climb the mountain?" "Empress Dowager, it's best if you don't challenge the emperor's patience. After all, he's the biggest here."
Leng Qiyue was startled by Han Liu's warning. She was right, she shouldn't challenge authority. She hadn't lived long enough, and she couldn't afford to lose her mother. Otherwise, she might not even be able to grow up safely.
Seeing that Leng Qiyue had reacted, Han Liu continued to say, "Empress, why don't you take this opportunity to re-cultivate our relationship with the Emperor? When the time comes, the Empress will not only be able to leave the cold palace, but will also be able to personally raise the Crown Prince."
Leng Qiyue nodded, as if she was willing to die. "Fine. If you don't succeed, you can die. Tonight, I want that pervert to kneel under my skirt …"
Before Leng Qiyue could finish her sentence, Han Liu had already poured a spoonful of cold water on her. "Empress, your ladylike studies are all in vain."
Leng Qiyue quickly buried her body in the hot water and rebuked him, "I think that your ladylike aunt has been tricked for nothing. Is there anyone who treats their mistress like this?"
Han Liu harrumphed and didn't say anything. She pulled Leng Qiyue out of the water and quickly dried her body before putting on her clothes and finally combing her hair. An hour later, she looked at Leng Qiyue with satisfaction and nodded. "The Empress is the most beautiful."
Leng Qiyue looked at the blurry copper mirror, unable to see her own beauty. At this moment, a eunuch shouted from outside the door, "This servant has come to fetch esteemed wangfei to sleep."
Leng Qiyue stood up and was supported out the door by Han Liu. Outside the door was a soft yellow sedan chair. She nodded at the eunuch, and then she got into the sedan chair. All along the way, she comforted herself: "It's just sleeping, I'm not afraid. Dongfang Haotian is handsome, I won't lose out …" However, when the sedan fell to the ground, her heart rose to her throat …
