"What crime is there after love? To say that you are guilty is to say that you are guilty in one word. " Yang Guang tapped between my eyebrows and chuckled.
On my face, there was still a hint of sadness as I said timidly,
"Will His Majesty really accompany chenqie until the next day?"
With such a pitiful expression, not to mention Yang Guang, even I felt sad.
Yang Guang caressed my face, nodding heavily: "Jun Wu Yi is lying."
The door creaked as someone pushed it open. Chen Zhen leaned in. "Your Majesty, why have you taken so long —"
Seeing us tightly hugging each other, Chen's face was filled with surprise, and his face instantly turned pale.
Yang Guang did not notice the change in Chen Wu's expression and was slightly displeased.
"Why is it so urgent? Can't you wait a bit before coming back? "
After a moment of shock, Chen Wu quickly kneeled down:
"Chenqie has offended the emperor and the empress! She deserves to die a thousand times!" Now that we have reached our sons, in another hour, the bell for the new year will ring.
"Oh." Only then did Yang Guang remember about the bell, his face slightly relaxed as he said to Chen Zhong:
"Get up and wait outside."
"En," Chen said, and quickly retreated. When he closed the door, he looked at me with hatred, but he did not dare to flare up. I smiled in return, containing the pride of the victor.
Of course, all of this was outside of Yang Guang's line of sight.
"The Love Queen is wearing such thin clothes, how can she listen to the bell in the Bell Bell Tower?" Yang Guang seemed to be asking me a question, but he also seemed to be talking to himself. He turned around to take a glance, and when he saw my wardrobe, he walked over to it and picked out a light blue fur cloak for himself.
"It's the New Year, but the Love Queen doesn't even have a new set of clothes. All these are half-worn clothes, and I feel wronged. I'm a bit late today, so tomorrow, I will make up for my New Year's gift to the Love Queen."
I said with a slight smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yang Guang embraced me and walked out of the hall's door. In an instant, everyone's gaze gathered on me, astonished, envious, and jealous. All of their gazes gathered from all directions, converging into a silent ray of light in the air.
Grandma and Doggie were so shocked that they couldn't even close their mouths. It was hard to tell if they were frightened or excited. Doggie opened his mouth, but no sound came out. Tears rolled down his face. Nanny was experienced after all, so she quickly calmed down. She lightly kicked the stunned dog next to her, afraid that it would reveal any flaws. If it fell into someone else's hands, it would inevitably become a weakness.
"Princess, you finally — came out." I know she wanted to say that you have finally returned, but with everyone present, she could only change one word.
I lightly glanced at my mother-in-law and dog with a profound look. The two of them had followed me for many years, so naturally, they understood what I meant. Thus, they lowered their heads without saying a word.
Chen Xuanzhao's complexion had returned to normal. Xuan Hua should have received Chen's reminder, so he was not overly surprised. Instead, he said with a smile:
"His Majesty and the Empress have reconciled once more. We should all congratulate him, why are you all so stunned?"
Only then did everyone greet me, saying some nonsensical words of respect.
"Your Majesty, the new year is about to arrive. May Your Majesty and the Empress please move to the Zhong Ming Tower, so that the concubines can get a touch of happiness." Xuan Hua still had a smile on his face, but there was too much intent mixed in with his smile.
When I turned to look at the unconscious Ying Xiu in the corner, blood was at the corner of her mouth. A young palace maid was wiping her mouth, and no one paid attention to that unremarkable corner of the room.
I felt dizzy. I put my hand to my forehead and staggered.
Yang Guang immediately embraced me and asked with concern, "What happened after I loved you?"
"Your Majesty, Ying Zhexiu —" I pointed at Yi Chenzi and closed my eyes. My face was pale and my lips were trembling. I could not help but 'faint' as if I had been shocked by the blood stains on Ying Chuan's body.
In his heart, however, he secretly became ruthless. Wasn't Xuan Hua and Chen Zhen thinking about going to hear the bell? I don't want you to do as you wish. Furthermore, merely lifting the restriction on Yongan Palace is far from enough. Since I am willing to let go of my pride and humbly request for survival, I naturally cannot allow others to do as they please.
I — I am the queen of the world.
While Yang Guang was distracted, he gently caressed his lower abdomen. He felt a tinge of sadness, 'Child, you haven't been born yet, but you'll have to be used by me for mother.'
"Send a message to the imperial physician!" Surprised, Yang Guang carried me by the waist and strode back to the inner hall. He placed me on the bed and tightly held my hand as he called out:
"Love, Lian'er?"
I was already extremely tired. Under the false faint, I was actually a bit hazy. I only felt that the voice in my ear seemed to come from the distant horizon.
The imperial physician quickly rushed over, and after applying for his pulse, he fell to the ground in joy.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Empress has been carrying the birth of a dragon for more than three months."
"Is that so?" Yang Guang's expression was overflowing with joy, he kept rubbing my hands, and then worriedly asked, "Why would the empress faint? Will it affect the fetus? "
He sighed in his heart. In the end, his care for his son far surpassed mine, but he was also smiling bitterly. How can I eat my own child's vinegar?
"The Empress is overly exhausted and unharmed. This humble subject has just opened the prescription for calming the fetus, and it will suffice to recuperate with care." The imperial physician replied.
Only then did Yang Guang relax and said happily:
"Reward!" Everyone in Yongan Palace will be rewarded! "
Since the imperial physician had already said that I was fine, I couldn't continue acting like this. Furthermore, Ying Xiu had been kicked by Yang Guang and her life was in danger. He opened his eyes slightly and slowly woke up as he said in a weak voice:
"Your Majesty, Ying Xiu, she —"
Seeing me wake up, Yang Guang was overjoyed. He pressed his finger to my lips with an apologetic look on his face. After all, the injury was caused by him:
"Relax, my beloved empress. I will call the imperial physician to treat Ying Xiu and return you a good Ying Xiu. Send the decree that Ying Xiu will be loyal to the master. In addition to the rewards everyone will receive, we will also give you a hundred taels of gold and double the monthly allowance!"
He felt a bit warm inside. After all, to Yang Guang, even if he killed ten palace maids, he would not feel any pity. It was not in vain for him to risk his life.
"This concubine thanks Your Majesty for your grace on behalf of Ying Ying." I forced myself to stand up and bow, but Yang Guang held me down.
"Do not get up, Love Queen. You are carrying our child in your womb!" Yang Guangwen tried to console her.
My eyes instantly lit up and I said excitedly:
"Your Majesty, do you know?"
Yang Guang nodded, half smiling and half reprimanding, and said:
"You can't tell me that you're pregnant with my child. Otherwise, I would've been happy for a few days."
I was slightly moved as I said tearfully, "Chenqie knew that His Majesty would definitely not abandon chenqie. He also wanted to inform His Majesty, but the people in the palace are unable to leave."
Yang Guang was even more apologetic, he turned his face outwards and shouted:
"Who is guarding outside Yongan Palace? How dare you be so disrespectful to the empress? If this goes on, everyone will be punished by thirty canes and expelled from the palace! "
He was trying to dispel the anger in my heart, but he had forgotten that he was the one who issued the decree.
But I didn't say anything. I just let him vent his anger on the guards. I wanted to plead for the guards, but when I thought about how they let Jing Er out to inform on me, I knew that these guards were his henchmen.
When the other wives saw Yang Guang tightly holding my hand, with no intention of leaving, their expressions all changed. In the end, Chen Zhen could not help but say:
"It's to be congratulated that the empress has dragon seeds, but Your Majesty, the bell rings —"
Looking at her eyes full of jealousy, I felt funny, such a scene, how could Yang Guang leave me to listen to the bell? Chen Zhen was not stupid, but at this moment, he was a little jealous.
Xuan Hua looked at Chen Wu anxiously, but unfortunately, Yang Guang's face had already been pulled down as he said unhappily:
"Which day can't I listen to the bell? It's getting late, everyone please go back to the palace and rest. Tomorrow morning, hundreds of officials and wives will go to the palace to pay their respects, and I will also offer sacrifices to my ancestors. How can I handle this if I don't have enough energy? "
Everyone looked at each other, but upon seeing Yang Guang's anger on his face, none of them dared to say anything, so they all agreed and respectfully left.
Seeing that the crowd had dispersed, Yang Guang turned to look at me, his eyes seemed to have veins in them.
"Your Majesty, did chenqie grow a flower on her face?" Why are you looking at Chenqie like that? " I felt a slight heat on my face and said shyly.
Yang Guang was even more affectionate as he reached out to caress my hair and whispered:
"How can the beauty of a little girl be compared to flowers? "However, why is Little Ling'Er's name so awkward for me?"
Seeing Yang Guang smirk and pretend to be dissatisfied, I was slightly confused, but soon I felt relieved and bashfully smiled and said:
"Just now, chenqie thought that she was dreaming and acting presumptuously, but His Majesty has already remembered her enmity. Fine, then I'll ask His Majesty to punish my concubine."
"Alright, then I will punish you —" Yang Guang's eyes turned as he deliberately tried to keep them in suspense.
My expression changed as I looked at Yang Guang in panic.
He suddenly laughed out loud. "I shall punish you by calling me Kwai Lang a hundred times more. "Little'er, you don't know how happy I was when you called me just now."
My face turned even more bashful. "Guanglang," I whispered.
Yang Guang cupped my face and lightly kissed my forehead. "You are almost the mother of three children, and yet you still have the posture of a little girl. Truly worthy of my love."
When Yang Guang mentioned my son, I naturally followed up with a question:
"Your Majesty, how are Zhao'er and Ke'er doing these days?" He endured the pain in his heart, as if he knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world.
Yang Guang's face darkened, but he was afraid that my body was too weak to be frightened, so he did not reply, as if he was considering his words.
I pretended to be relaxed and said:
"With His Majesty and Lady Xuanhua looking after me, I can't be wrong. Why should chenqie care so much?" "Recently, I don't know why, but whenever I think of Zhao'er, I feel an indescribable unease in my heart, possibly caused by my excessive longing for her."
I secretly looked at Yang Guang's expression, but saw that his expression changed. After that, it returned to normal. With an apologetic tone, he said:
With an apologetic tone, he said:
"Zhao'er also misses her mother every day. Tomorrow, I will send an order to bring Zhao'er back. The child should be taken care of by his own mother."
I couldn't help but shed tears as I said gratefully,
"Chenqie thanks Your Majesty!"
Yang Guang didn't mention anything about Ha, so I didn't ask any further. He was a suspicious person, if I asked too much, he would suspect that I was trying to win back the child to curry favor with him.
From far away, the sound of a bell could be heard. Twelve long sounds for a year in December, twenty-four slow sounds for twenty-four knots, seventy-two urgent sounds for seventy-two. After one hundred and eight rings, Yang Guang has been holding my hand, not saying a word.
The sound of the bell rang out for a long time before it disappeared into the distant horizon. I smiled and congratulated him.
"Congratulations your majesty. 108 chimes, their voices long and distant. This is a auspicious and auspicious omen, an auspicious omen of the nation's prosperity. Your majesty will definitely become an enlightened ruler."
When Yang Guang heard this, he was overjoyed and said:
"I only listen to your words of flattery every day. Only my lil 'er is sincere."
"How does Your Majesty know that others are not sincere?" I said, surprised.
"I can tell that you're different from them from your eyes."
Yang Guang's face slowly enlarged, his hot lips pressed down, and his hot and wet tongue brought with it the unique scent of a man. It lingered for a long time, and when I was about to suffocate, Yang Guangfang sat up with a look of reluctance as he smiled bitterly and said:
"I'm about to lose control of myself, but there's still a lot of time to come. It's better to nurture your body first after loving you."
I slightly blushed and advised:
"Your concubine's body is not in a good condition. Your Majesty, you should go to the other palaces."
Yang Guang frowned, with a hint of suspicion:
"It's been a long time since I've been together with the Love Queen. We've only just met, and after loving her, you want me to leave?"
I felt a chill in my heart, just now I was only concerned with expressing my kindness and not jealousy, but I didn't expect Yang Guang's thoughts, if a man, woman is jealous, then he would have committed a crime of seven ways, if not jealous, he would think that you were heartless to him, he bitterly sighed in his heart, but on the surface, he seemed to be wronged:
"How could chenqie bear to chase His Majesty away? As an empress, chenqie naturally has to be kind to the Six Palaces, but whenever I think of your majesty being together with other sisters, I can't help but feel sour. However, chenqie can't bear to see your majesty suffer because you haven't had your fill of fun.
