Chapter 139 - Emperor Yun attending the banquet
When they arrived at Qin Luofei's palace, they saw waves of fragrance drifting out from the house. It was very tempting.
Emperor Yun smelled the fragrance and immediately felt hunger in his stomach. He could not help but walk a few steps faster.
Daffodil Daydream, who was very smart, quickly opened the curtain of the house, and Emperor Yun walked in.
There was only Qin Luofei in the room. She was dressed in her usual purple satin jacket, green dress train, and didn't wear any jewelry. Her face was like the sky. Sitting at the table, there was a pot of mandarin duck, as well as a lot of beef and vegetables.
"This is the first time I've seen you dressed like this." The Emperor Yun laughed.
Qin Luofei pouted and said with a smile, "A beauty like me, without dressing up, is also very beautiful."
"Don't make This Emperor unable to eat." Emperor Yun's face was full of smiles.
This feeling brought him back to the past. When they met, they had also been bickering like this, not giving in to each other.
Qin Luofei placed the dishes and meat into a hotpot and poured some wine for the Emperor Yun.
"If I had known earlier that you were treating me to a hotpot, I wouldn't have instructed the royal kitchen to prepare food." Emperor Yun also picked up his chopsticks and held the food tightly in the pot.
Qin Luofei was already in a hurry to fish out the cooked food, dip it in the sauce, and put it in her mouth, filling it with a sweet taste.
"Your majesty, hurry and eat it. It's too delicious."
Emperor Yun also took two chopsticks and put it in his mouth. It was indeed very delicious, and the taste was better than what he usually ate.
"The taste is indeed good."
Qin Luofei couldn't help but laugh, "Your Majesty, then let's eat more."
The two of them were eating and drinking, and they were enjoying themselves.
In reality, the Seventh Prince was extremely beautiful. If there wasn't a previous emperor, if there wasn't a previous life, being able to be together with such a great person would also be a joy.
The two were eating happily when they heard Xiao Linzi's voice coming from outside.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has sent someone to bring you for dinner."
Originally, if it was anyone else, Xiao Linzi wouldn't dare to disturb the emperor. It had been a long time since he heard the emperor laugh so happily, but the empress dowager was the emperor's mother, so how could he dare to stop him?
The Emperor Yun in the room slightly paused, and just as he was about to speak, Qin Luofei pouted unhappily and said coquettishly, "I won't allow you to leave."
Emperor Yun looked up. It was the first time he had seen her act like a spoiled child towards him.
The Emperor Yun nodded and instructed Xiao Linzi, "Go and speak with the empress dowager. Tell her that we have already eaten dinner and tell her to eat more herself. Tomorrow, we will go and pay our respects to the empress dowager."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xiao Linzi turned around and looked at the maid sent by the empress dowager with a troubled expression.
"Eunuch Lin, the empress dowager must ask the emperor to go eat dinner. I'll have to trouble you to inform her again." maid until he couldn't return the favor to the emperor. The empress dowager would probably blame him for his incompetence, so how would he dare to return?
"This …" Xiao Linzi was in a difficult position.
"Your Majesty, the empress dowager and her father insist that you go." Xiao Linzi shrunk his head, afraid that the Emperor Yun would be angry.
Emperor Yun frowned.
Qin Luofei smiled and said, "I know why the empress dowager wants the emperor to go eat dinner."
"Oh!" "Tell me, why did mother insist that I accompany her for dinner? That's right, I have a reward." Emperor Yun smiled at Qin Luofei.
Qin Luofei pretended to cough twice before saying, "That's because the empress dowager wanted to give the emperor a great beauty. That's why the empress dowager insisted on having dinner for him."
"That's why you invited me to accompany you." Emperor Yun looked at Qin Luofei with eyes filled with indescribable emotions.
Qin Luofei nodded her head, looking pleased with herself, and said: "You guessed right. "I don't like any woman, nor do I like you to see her. Thus, I called you here to accompany me for a meal. Are you going to punish me?"
Qin Luofei knew that she could not hide it, but fortunately, she did not. In any case, the Emperor Yun would find out sooner or later.
"Xiao Linzi, keep the palace maids in the empress dowager's palace to rest for a while. The actions of the Emperor Yun caused Qin Luofei to be dumbstruck.
Seventh Prince had always been filial to the empress dowager, so she thought that he would definitely leave.
Emperor Yun reached out his hand and grabbed Qin Luofei's finger. His eyes glistened as he looked at her and said, "Since you are using us, then we will also use you. Tonight, I will not leave. I will stay in your palace."
"It shouldn't be like this." Qin Luofei finally knew what it meant to lift a rock to smash her own foot.
She hadn't thought of sleeping with him all night.
"Anyway, this isn't the first time, so I won't leave." After Emperor Yun had finished speaking, he placed the dishes into the pot, fished it out, and placed it into Qin Luofei's bowl. Qin Luofei was speechless.
Since the maid didn't dare to ask the emperor for help, he naturally didn't dare go back. Thus, he could only stand outside and wait.
When the Li mama came out of the empress dowager's palace, he went straight to the imperial study. However, when he arrived, he found that there was no light in the imperial study at all.
He went to the emperor's chambers again, but he still did not see the emperor. The maid in the palace said that the emperor had not returned, and the Li mama went to the Beauty Zhang's palace. However, the Beauty Zhang had not seen him for more than half a month.
Li mama was puzzled, where did Emperor Yun go? Could it be … Where did that seductress go?
Li mama couldn't find the Emperor Yun, nor did he dare to return to the empress dowager's palace. Bringing the two palace maids with him, they went to Concubine Qin's palace.
The Li mama didn't dare to approach and hurried back to report to the empress dowager.
"What did you say?" Where did the Emperor go to the Concubine Qin? " The empress dowager's face was extremely ugly.
In the past, to confuse the previous emperor, but now, to confuse the emperor, it was really a good method!
Su Jiaoyun who was at the side, paled a few times immediately upon hearing that Emperor Yun had gone to Concubine Qin's palace. But the Empress Dowager was there, and she dared not show it. He only lowered her head and rubbed the silk handkerchief in his hand.
"You personally go and invite the emperor over. She's even the late emperor's concubine. What's wrong with being together with the emperor?" The empress dowager was very angry.
The Li mama moved closer and comforted his in a low voice, "Empress Dowager, the emperor is young, it's hard to avoid this. From what this servant sees, we should summon the emperor back tomorrow!"
The empress dowager suppressed the anger in her heart and nodded slightly. "Tomorrow, call Concubine Qin to see me. This Dowager needs to have a good talk with her."
"Yes, Majesty."
The empress dowager's gaze once again softened as she looked at Su Jiaoyun, and said, "Jiao Yun, just accompany This Dowager to eat!"
"Jiao Yun is really hungry. Empress Dowager Xie has prepared so many dishes for Jiao Yun." Su Jiaoyun suppressed the jealousy in her heart and said with a face full of smiles.
The empress dowager nodded her head in satisfaction. "Jiao Yun is still the most sensible. In the future, the emperor will know of your capabilities."
"I thank the empress dowager for her praise." Su Jiaoyun became more and more weak.
"What? Are you really going to sleep here?"
Qin Luofei snatched it over and shouted in anger.
Emperor Yun ate and drank to his heart's content. He shamelessly climbed into the inner room of the bed, kicked off his boots, and looked at Little Chun on Qin Luo Fei's pillow.
Emperor Yun comfortably laid on his pillow, and said with a mischievous smile: "Love Consort, don't you know that it is easy to send you off as a god? Am I so easily used by you? "I, I won't leave even if you speak of the heavens tonight. I'm going to sleep here."
The few palace maids who were cleaning up the tableware only wanted to hear nothing. The conversation between Concubine Qin and the emperor was not like that between a concubine and the emperor.
Qin Luofei helplessly shook her head, and finally said, "You can stay here, but you can sleep in the inner chamber, and I'll sleep in the Warm Pavilion."
Emperor Yun smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't climb into my bed in the middle of the night, you can't take advantage of me."
"You …" Qin Luofei said that she couldn't win the argument, so she could only turn her head.
"You have to treat Zhen better. Perhaps tomorrow, Zhen will go save you. You have to make Zhen unhappy. Tomorrow, there won't be anyone to save you from the empress dowager." When the Emperor Yun said these words, he crawled into bed. There was a sweet fragrance coming from the bed that was extremely to his liking.
Qin Luofei only wanted to ruin the empress dowager's plans, but she had actually forgotten about this matter.
According to Her Majesty's character, if she knew that the Emperor was at her palace, she would definitely be summoned tomorrow.
Qin Luofei's forehead couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
"What you said, you have to save me tomorrow. If you don't save me, then you're lying."
"Of course I will go and save you, but it will depend on your performance tonight." Emperor Yun had a mischievous smile on his face.
"You … Ignore you. " Qin Luofei entered the pavilion after she said that.
When the Emperor Yun saw Qin Luofei entering the warm pavilion, his expression eased up.
Qin Luofei originally thought that the Emperor Yun would not obediently stay in the inner room, but she didn't expect that this time, he was very obedient and didn't pester her any further.
On the second day, when Qin Luofei woke up, Emperor Yun had already left for the morning assembly, leaving behind a box of gold, silver, and jewelry for her.
Daffodil Dayflower brought the box of treasures to Qin Luofei, who saw that the jade beads inside were all excellent workmanship and worth a lot of money. Even the inner court of the imperial palace would not easily be able to obtain them.
"I feel that the emperor treats the young lady so well. If only the late emperor was the emperor." Daisy whispered as she closed the box.
Qin Luofei smiled, but didn't say anything. After a while, he said, "In the future, don't say such words anymore. It will be troublesome if others hear about it."
Daisies nodded.
Qin Luofei had finished washing up and was drinking a bowl of Ice Sugar Lotus Seed Soup when she heard footsteps and voices coming from the courtyard.
"Go and report to your concubine, tell his that the empress dowager wants to see your Concubine Qin."
"Come quickly."
Qin Luofei put down the embroidery in her hands and glanced at Daffodil Dayflower.
"Miss, what should we do? The Empress really would like to see you. "
"Since you're already here, you can take care of it. There's nothing to be afraid of." Qin Luofei smiled.
She and the empress dowager had always had such a day. Since that was the case, it was best not to be late.
Some maid lifted the curtains and came in to report, "Reporting to Concubine Qin, Li mama has come to pass the Empress Dowager's imperial decree to summon concubine."
Qin Luofei nodded and said, "You may leave! Tell Li mama that I'll be going out soon. "
After the maid left, Qin Luofei instructed Daihua in a low voice, "In a while, personally go ask for the Emperor."
Daisies nodded.
"Miss, you have to be careful!"
Qin Luofei nodded, changed her clothes, and walked out of the house to see the Li mama by the empress dowager's side standing in the courtyard with a cold expression.
"Li mama."
In the past, before she had entered the palace, it was this Qin Manor that went to the palace to teach her etiquette, and their relationship had always been good. However, after the late emperor went missing, the Li mama had automatically estranged himself from her.
"Greetings to Concubine Qin." Li mama bowed in greeting.
