"Didn't I worry about you? I'm afraid you can't take it. " He hugged me from behind. "Zhiqiu, come into the room."

I was a little angry. I tore off his hand and turned around to look at him. "Your majesty should head back earlier. The grand ceremony will be held in two days."

He looked at me coldly, and I sighed in my heart. I said gently, "These past few days, I've been feeling a bit uncomfortable. Lin Shangyi and I have known each other for quite some time, and her leaving makes me sad. Your majesty, you should go back first."

"Alright." He touched my face. "Don't tire yourself out. Zhiqiu, time will always bring about a lot of things."

I knew what I was doing. I wasn't in the mood to talk about love with him. I wasn't in the mood to serve him properly.

On the day of the grand ceremony, I put on heavy makeup so that my weariness would not show up in front of everyone.

The emperor was dressed in a dragon robe, looking dignified and noble. Lu Yao was wearing a red and gold phoenix robe. The noble and dignified atmosphere exuded by his young miss was also admirable.

He walked shoulder to shoulder with her. They were handsome and intelligent, like a couple made of gold and jade.

Walking under the red carpet, walking up the steps together, it was an oath that she would be his wife for life, his wife, his companion.

Unfortunately, it wasn't me.

He was the young and high-spirited Emperor, and he treated me with every kind of kindness, and he would give me anything good, but to another person, he was so cruel.

Sigh, you can't think about it. Yun Zhiqiu, you'll go crazy if you stop thinking about these things.

The members of the Lu family had all come, but they were all keeping a low profile. As I walked among the other concubines, I wondered if their emotions were as real as the smile on their faces.

That position, I think, every woman wants it.

I also learned to smirk, learned to feign response, the music of the luan is all over the place. After the ceremony was over, I used the excuse that I wanted to go back and see the little prince so that we wouldn't have to have lunch together.

He let out a sigh of relief after walking far away. He casually broke a green willow on the side of the road and waved it back as usual. This way, he would be in a better mood.

The little prince just happened to wake up and cry.

The wet nurse gave me a hug after I finished feeding him. He doesn't really know how to look at people. His black eyes were just lazily watching them.

"Good girl." I smiled and kissed his little face. "I won't cry after I've eaten my fill. Good, good, good, good. Aunt, when do you think he will laugh and look at me? "

His aunt laughed and said, "It's still early. Usually, it takes you three months to read it before you can identify it. At this time, children only know how to listen to sounds."

"Aunt sure knows a lot. Then I'll have to talk to the little prince more." To let him recognize my voice: "Heh, I'll play for you."

My aunt, hearing my praise, stopped talking and stood in silence.

I didn't mind as I happily thought about how I should train the little prince. In the future, I would play a song for him when he was awake.

The ball jumped onto the table and stared back at him.

I smiled and said, "You're not allowed to catch him, or else I'll chop off your cat claws."

"Miaomiao." It cried out twice and looked at me with its round eyes.

"You have to be obedient, this is the little prince. He's so young, he's only been born a few days ago. Although he likes to sleep, it's not for you to learn. When he grows up, he won't want to sleep anymore." That's great. I heard that children grow up when the wind blows, but he's still so young, two days a day, three days a day.

"The Empress has the temperament of a child." For that reason bring me tea to moisten my mouth.

"Hehe, cats also have a spirit, and children also have a spirit."

He took a nap in the afternoon. After reading a few books, it was already evening. It was time for him to go to the banquet again.

Lu Yao had been conferred the title of Empress and the entire palace had been bestowed with him. Naturally, he had to prepare some gifts for her. My aunt has already taken care of everything for me.

In any case, it would be a waste even if we were to look at the Moon Viewing Hall. Those rare and precious antiques are the stuff of wealthy people.

However, I always feel that these gifts are too ordinary. Lu Yao must be taken away just like me. I know what she likes, hehe.

In the evening, the empress's new palace, the Palace of the Morning Phoenix, was filled with the feeling of hundreds of birds turning into phoenixes. In the evening, the empress's new palace, the Palace of the Morning Phoenix, was filled with the feeling of hundreds of birds turning into phoenixes.

It was still extremely early in the morning, but the red palace lamp had already lit up. The three-storey palace hall was a garden, and the main hall was a place to pay respects.

The presents were sent in, and then the ladies came to invite me in.

She was sitting alone in a chair facing a bronze mirror, but her face was slack as she watched me come in. "I'm so tired," she said softly.

"I'll have to call you Esteemed Empress in the future."

"Zhiqiu, even you have come to frighten me." She pursed her lips in displeasure, "I'm like a monkey. If I want to be pulled around for others to see, I'll have to smile slightly. I'll also have to wear this phoenix crown that's heavy enough to break one's neck." She whined, "I'm so tired, I can't breathe."

"As expected, there is no longer a queen. Here, there is one more gift for you." I took an oily paper packet from my sleeve and unwrapped it to reveal a fried melon seed that was giving off a fragrant scent.

"I want it, you're not allowed to eat it. You know that I'm hungry enough to eat a cow, and those wet nurses and married ladies all look at me as they eat something. It must be really tiring, Zhi Qiu."

I brought a comb to comb her hair. "It's better to prepare yourself quickly so that the maids won't come in later and mess with your makeup."

She ate the melon seeds happily, swinging her two feet in a dissatisfied manner. "I know you won't give me the same thing as everyone else. To be honest, I don't even have the desire to look at those common things."

"In the future, it will be the Queen." I sighed. "Don't think about your past. Maybe you'll be more at ease."

She no longer had the interest to eat melon seeds. She put it down and said, "Zhi Qiu, give me a hug."

"I'll call the emperor. If you want to hug me, then hug me."

She raised her eyebrows. "Do you think I'm afraid? I don't know who's more shy, but the emperor and I are just watching. Almost like siblings, he really thinks we can roll onto the bed. Ah, your majesty, the one who loves to hug you the most is you."

My face reddened. "You are really reckless."

After chatting for a while, someone outside said that the banquet was ready and invited her out.

I followed her, and the Emperor came forward, but it was her hand that was held.

Ye Zichen felt a bit itchy on his empty hands, but he still walked out with a smile on his face.

He sat beside her in the front row, as well as the empress dowager, Imperial Concubine Mu, and Yang Fei.

By the time I finished counting the seats, I was at the end of the third row. The dishes served were greasy, and their appetites were gone just by looking at them.

As they sang, although they could not hear clearly, they could only lift their heads to look at everyone.

A bowl of milky-white colored food was served. His aunt leaned over and whispered, "Empress, the Emperor specifically ordered someone to bring you a bird's nest to stew your milk."

I looked at the excellent pair in front of me and scooped up a spoonful. The sweetness spread through my lips. Half a bowl and you don't want to drink it. It's too sweet.

The scene on the stage changed again. It was the zither, but it wasn't played by my senior brother, Lou Fengming. It was a stranger. I was a little confused. I set it to be him, and we've found out.

She softly said, "It's best for the Empress not to mention Lou Cheng as a musician in the future."

"Didn't you prove that I have nothing to do with him?" Why do you say that?

"But Empress, your heart has no other thoughts. It would be better to avoid the suspicion by talking too much in the palace."

The moment she heard this, her anger rose. Empress Dowager, it's fine if you want to investigate, but if you beat Lou Fengming up, then do it without investigating clearly. Could it be that you're the only ones who are human and that everyone else is a dog?

I stood up, and for that reason, my aunt followed me and called out to me, "Empress, please reconsider."

"I'm just going to go see him. We are all open in our hearts and have never done anything shameful, so how can we avoid him?" I walked out with large strides. Everyone was eating and watching the show, so they wouldn't mind if I was missing one of them.

When they arrived at the Music Palace, it was very empty. Most of the musicians had gone to the Palace of the Phoenix to enjoy the scenery or to enter the stage.

I rushed in aggressively. A few of the elders who were taking a nap opened their eyes and were so frightened that they almost jumped up. They hurriedly bowed. "Lady Wan Yi, good morning."

"Where's Lou Fengming?" I shouted.

The eunuchs looked at each other. It was as if they did not dare to say anything.

"What about him? "Tell me." He pointed to an eunuch.

Trembling, he kneeled on the ground. "Esteemed wangfei, Lou Zigui has already left."

"Why are you going back?" There must be something going on behind my back.

"Empress, please calm your anger. It was Lou Zigui who requested us to return." The other father-in-law also knelt down and said.

I can't, no matter what, senior is still a descendant of the officials, he has nothing for fame or fortune, his biggest wish is to be a musician in the palace and promote the art of zither. His madness towards the zither can't be quashed by anyone.

"Empress, musicians Lou have indeed gone back."

I coldly snorted. "You're not going to say it, right? If you dare to lie to Wan Yi, you will definitely lose your head. " I've never liked to bring up airs, but sometimes I have to say it when I'm in a hurry.

The eunuchs were even more frightened now. They helped me shake my head and said, "Empress, don't be agitated. Take care of your health. Maybe Lou Zigui won't be able to stay at home to rest after getting out of jail?"

I broke away from her and looked at her coldly. "You know that, don't you? I know him better than you do. Tell me what happened to him, or I won't let you stay by my side anymore. Also, don't think that you can fool me. "

The eunuchs were silent, and so they sighed softly. "Empress, sometimes it is better not to know."

"Speak." I snarled, my eyes fixed on her.

"Someone accidentally broke Lou Zigui's finger while he was in prison. Presumably, in the future … I can't play the zither anymore. "

My heart went cold when I heard this. I felt extremely uncomfortable. I pointed at her and angrily yelled, "Liar, how can you hide this from me? I don't want to see you again."

What happened to breaking your finger? Was there such a thing? Where you break a finger is where you break your finger. What the zither master cared about the most is where his finger is. If he doesn't have a finger, how will he play the zither in the future?

I was the one who got him killed, I was really an unlucky person, Lin Shangyi was on good terms with me, so someone drugged her to the point where she couldn't even use her strength, causing her to have a difficult time giving birth. Playing the zither with Senior Brother a few times, I accused him of having an affair with me. It was really too much. In one breath, he ran back to the Moon Viewing Hall and threw all the gifts he had received into the water.

She hated him. How could she do this?

When the palace maid saw me angry, no one dared to go near me, no one dared to go out. For some reason, she kneeled outside the door and begged me to forgive her.

What would senior think of me? The Emperor and I spent our time here in confinement, but he suffered in prison because of me, and he couldn't even play the zither. How painful it was for a musician, and I could never make up for it.

"Empress." A palace maid timidly entered. "The emperor has bestowed sweet soup upon you."

"Throw it away." I said coldly.

The little palace maid did not dare to say anything else as she hurriedly left.

The little prince was crying, and I ran over to see. His face was red from crying, and my heart hurt from both anger and anger. What kind of palace is this? It truly is hateful to the extreme.

As I hugged him and played with his zither on the side, I thought of senior brother and felt a stabbing pain in my heart.

No, I have to go out of the palace to find him, I have to see him. Even though I can't do anything, I am still alone. Even after entering the palace, I am still Yun Zhiqiu. The thing I hate the most is dragging others down, so I have to say a word of apology.

He took a coat and left. The reason why he was still kneeling by the door was that he looked at me and said, "Empress, don't be rash."

"You have no business here. The reason is because I truly hate people deceiving me. Men, get out of the palace."

"Empress, you can't leave the palace now." The reason why she kneeled down and went forward was: "Without your Imperial Majesty's special order, the imperial concubine is not allowed to leave the palace at any time of the night."

Angry, I threw my clothes away, anxious to cry, ran to the railing to look at the water.

"The Empress can punish the cause, but for the Empress to leave the palace, it would be better to consult the Empress during the day. The Empress has a straightforward personality, but the Empress doesn't think for herself, so she still has to think about the little prince." He was still trying to persuade me.

That was all I could do. It was all my fault, senior brother.

Having not slept for almost a night, my heart was burning so badly that my teeth ached.

And the reason why he had to kneel outside for the entire night.

I opened the door and looked at her, saying in a light tone, "Get up, you didn't do anything wrong, you did it for my own good, but like you, I really can't treat you as someone who can say anything. Don't kneel anymore, our relationship is master and servant, master and servant." However, he wouldn't be so dependent on her.

She bit her lips as tears rolled down her face, feeling very sad. She looked up at me and said, "Empress, I'm sorry. The reason is not good. The reason is that I just want the Empress to live a bit more comfortably."
