Sure enough, it was a child's nature. When he saw Liu Ruyan, he was distracted in an instant.
Duke Xu moved all the unfinished memorials in the imperial study to Zichen palace, in the side hall of Liu Ruyan.
Zhen'er coaxed Liu Ruyan to play with Western gadgets in the inner hall, and Lian Chengming handled government affairs in the side hall. From time to time, I could hear the laughter from Liu Ruyan in the inner hall. Even Chengming's heart was warm and his face was smiling.
It was already late at night when he finished handling the situation. Lian Chengming rubbed his eyebrows and took off his outer shirt in the inner hall.
At that time, Liu Ruyan had been lying on the bed and kicked half of the quilt on the ground. The whole person lay on his back in a big font, looking at the ceiling and turning over from time to time.
In the middle of the night, Lian Chengming didn't call anyone in again. He leaned against the door and looked at Liu Ruyan for a while. He couldn't help laughing. When he approached, he found that Liu Ruyan was crying with some wet tears on his face and his nose.
"What's the matter? How nice! Instead, he began to cry. Come on, tell me, but who bullied you?" Lian Chengming sat on the mountain beside the bed, with his long legs across the bed, leaning against the bed behind him, tilted his head and looked at Liu Ruyan in a soft voice.
Liu Ruyan broke his fingers and angrily accused: "they are all bad guys. You all lied to me. The little girl clearly said you would send me back, lied to me!"
With that, Liu Ruyan sprawled on the bed, stuffed his head into the pillow and cried again. He cried bitterly, and even Chengming's heart was pulled up.
He reached out and rubbed Liu Ruyan's messy hair. Lian Chengming comforted in a soft voice: "it's dark tonight. How can I send you back? Quan should stay here with me for a few days. You see, there are delicious candy and fun things here. After a few days, I'll let someone send you back."
As soon as the voice fell, Lian Chengming leaned forward, squeezed Liu Ruyan into the inner side of the bed, pulled the quilt over the two people, turned around and hugged Liu Ruyan in his arms, and said, "I'll tell you a story tonight, and you'll soon sleep over after listening to the story."
"OK..." smelling the sweet smell of sandalwood on Lian Chengming, Liu Ruyan felt very fond of it. It was like the smell deeply imprinted in her bones. She was a little drunk, so she raised her hand and put it on Lian Chengming's waist, buried her head in Lian Chengming's arms, narrowed her eyes and said a word sleepily.
"Once upon a time, there was a woman who was very good-looking..." Lian Chengming now found that he didn't know how to describe Liu Ruyan's appearance, so he had to use the word "good-looking".
He told the story of Liu Ruyan dancing in front of him on broken porcelain and printing plum blossoms under his feet. He also told the story of Liu Ruyan piling up in the wine shop for a long time, and told a lot of things between them.
When he went deeper, Lian Chengming felt that his eyes were wet. When he looked down again, he saw that the people in his arms were breathing heavily. He had already fallen asleep. He was sleeping comfortably with his mouth open and his eyes narrowed.
When he woke up the next day, Lian Chengming was no longer in Zichen palace.
Liu Ruyan slept until the sun rose and refused to get up. In the past, in Mount Emei, nun Xian always forced her to get up in the morning, took her to the mountain to collect medicine, turned down in a circle, and the sun just rose. She hardly slept in.
Moreover, the bed is too comfortable. Although the man's chest was harder last night, he hated to be comfortable against it. Liu Ruyan couldn't help laughing with his mouth open and tilted his head to lie down for a while.
Outside, zhen'er opened the bed curtain and saw Liu Ruyan's ass facing her. She shook her head and said, "empress, get up for lunch. If you can't afford it again, I'm afraid you'll have lunch!"
No one dares to sleep until this hour in the harem. Concubines have to get up early to greet the Empress Dowager. Since ancient times, there is no concubine who can sleep so freely until the sun rises. Even now, Liu Ruyan is the only one.
"Well, no!" Liu Ruyan murmured, shook his body, wrapped the quilt tightly and continued to lie on the bed.
She could see that none of the people in the palace dared to refute her meaning. They coaxed her carefully. As long as she spoiled a few words, no one would listen to her.
But this time she couldn't. zhen'er just pulled people up, surrounded by seven or eight servant girls, dressed them up and pressed them on the table.
The of Shouan palace invited an Fang to have lunch. During lunch, Lian Chengming was called to Shouan Palace by the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager's condition is almost better, and her body is much stronger. She still eats fast and chants Buddha every day.
"All the concubines are here just now. It's inconvenient for AI family to talk to you, but now you should really think about who should be the leader of the harem. If the harem is empty one day, AI family's heart can't rest one day."
The Empress Dowager was worried about who she was, but even Chengming didn't care about it. The Empress Dowager was even more worried, "Ai family has seen a lot since she was seriously ill. She knows that her time is running out, and she can't wake up once her eyes are closed one day..."
"Where did the mother say?" Lian Chengming interrupted and frowned, "the mother is strong, but she is ill. Why is it so serious."
"The mourning family wants to see you set up a virtuous and orderly queen who can take care of the harem!" the Empress Dowager hates iron and doesn't become steel. She also said: "the mourning family knows that you have always been interested in Princess Hui. She has made great contributions in calming the rebellion in Prince Qin's residence, but Princess Hui is obviously difficult to be a big responsibility now. Can't you set up a queen if she's not good all day?"
"Emperor, you are the master of the world. You can't always think about your children's private affairs. When the back palace is stable, the former dynasty can be calm. The rebellious Lord Qin has just been calmed down. Now you can't go wrong again."
After a few words of persuasion, the Empress Dowager sighed. I don't know what she was regretting.
Lian Chengming looked faint and bowed his hand to the Empress Dowager. He said calmly, "my son knows this. In the future, my son will give my mother a satisfactory answer."
Without saying anything more, Lian Chengming's heart was full of Liu Ruyan, and he closed his eyes slightly. Lian Chengming's heart was bitter, so he said to the empress dowager, "there are important things in the imperial study, so he won't accompany the empress dowager, and the children will leave."
With that, Lian Chengming left Shouan palace.
Stand back?
There are not many concubines in the harem now. If you have to establish a queen, it is necessary to draft. It is inevitable to make a fuss, and some watch it.
