Since Jun Lixuan made Ling Qiyang a red dress, there was a red figure in Lin Wang's mansion. Jun Lixuan felt that she was extremely beautiful, and the servants felt extremely happy. Every time Ling Qiyang passed by, the servants would secretly take a look at her, thinking that this princess was generous and special.
When Jun Lixuan returned home, Ling Qiyang was leaning on the soft couch to read a book. Seeing him coming in, he put down his book and stood up, "Is it cold outside?" Jun Lixuan was afraid that he would be cold, so he asked people to put several charcoal basins in the room, and told him not to go out if there was nothing to do, so he didn't know What temperature is it today.
"Fortunately, it seems that the weather should be fine these few days." Jun Lixuan took off the cloak and handed it to Mingli, "Tomorrow I will take you into the palace earlier, and you can show it to the empress."
"Okay." Ling Qiyang agreed.
While talking, Luo Su served hot tea for the two, and then went out of the house with Ming Li and waited outside.
"I told the empress about the spices. People in the palace are always unpredictable. You must be careful when you enter the palace tomorrow." Jun Lixuan put his hands on the charcoal basin to warm up before sitting on the couch.
"I see."
"Which one are you going to wear tomorrow? If you don't want to wear red, you don't have to wear it." Jun Lixuan looked at Ling Qiyang's extremely fair face under the red dress, and couldn't help reaching out and pinching his cheeks.
The Chinese New Year banquet is regarded as a family banquet, and there is not much attention to clothing, but official clothing is not required, as long as it is decent.
"I think the red embroidered Clivia is very good, and it's suitable for wearing tomorrow, and the red color also has the joy of the New Year." Ling Qiyang smiled while holding his chin.
"Well, then wear that one." Jun Lixuan nodded immediately, her own princess was very elegant in whatever she wore.
At night, the two of them lay on the bed after taking a bath, Ling Qiyang stared at the top of the bed tent in a daze, leaving a wax lamp in the bedroom, the light was so dim that it made people feel drowsy.
"What are you thinking about?" Jun Lixuan didn't seem to be sleepy when he saw his eyes wide open.
"It's nothing." Ling Qiyang said softly.
Jun Lixuan grabbed Ling Qiyang's hand in the quilt, and said: "I have already prepared a gift, and it will be delivered to Uncle Wangyang's mansion tomorrow morning, half for the mansion, and half for your father."
Ling Qiyang turned to look at him.
Jun Lixuan smiled, "You can't go back to celebrate the new year tomorrow, and your father is serving the emperor. If you are not here, he must be living in a lonely life. Let someone send some good things to add some joy to your father's New Year. Let the people in Wangyang Mansion look down on him." Logically speaking, these things should be handled by the princess herself, as long as the gift list is shown to the prince. But Ling Qiyang had only been in the mansion for a short time, and some of the family's accounts were unclear, so Jun Lixuan drew up the list on his behalf.
"Thank you." Ling Qiyang pursed his lower lip, not knowing what else to say. This person is ruthless, no matter how much he pays, he will not get half a cent in return, but if he is kind to a person, he will be thoughtful in every way and move people.
"Go to sleep. You can do whatever you want these days, and I don't have to go to court. I can accompany you."
"good."
The candles were flickering, and the room was peaceful.
The next day, Jun Lixuan hugged Ling Qiyang and slept until mid-morning before getting up to eat. Both of them don't like people who like to sleep late, but it's rare to have nothing to do, and it's New Year's Eve, so it's okay to be lazy for a while, but it's also fun.
In the afternoon, the two entered the palace, and the queen took a nap and was sitting in the bedroom drinking tea. Seeing the two people coming in, he excused them from the ceremony and said with a smile: "I guess you should come by this time."
"I'm afraid I'll disturb the queen's rest." Jun Lixuan pulled Ling Qiyang to sit down.
"Qiyang is well dressed and looks good." The queen looked at Ling Qiyang's clothes, thinking about what the six sons said yesterday.
"Thank you, Empress." Ling Qiyang smiled gently.
Mo Yu'er probably heard Ling Qiyang's voice, and ran out of the Nuan Pavilion like a child, and jumped up to jump on Ling Qiyang's legs, but it was so small that it couldn't do it no matter how nimble it was. Fortunately, Ling Qiyang reached out to catch it, otherwise the little thing would either hit his knee or fall to the ground.
"This little thing really understands human nature." The queen looked at Mo Yu'er who was rolling and acting coquettishly on Ling Qiyang's lap, and said with a smile.
"It was raised since childhood, it is used to the smell of my body." Ling Qiyang rubbed Mo Yu'er's stomach, and said to the queen: "Let me take your pulse."
"Okay." The Queen nodded and put her hand on the round table.
Ling Qiyang rested his fingers on the Queen's wrist, carefully examining her. Jun Lixuan looked at his face, hoping to see something from it, but found nothing.
After a while, Ling Qiyang took his hand away, saluted the queen, and said: "The spice residue on the emperor's body is very small. After another hour of smoking, people can remove the incense burner. Afterwards, the doors and windows of the bedroom must be opened for ventilation. , the bedding and bed curtains must be replaced with new ones, and then the remaining antidote is mixed into clean water, soaked in the potion with a clean cloth towel, and then wipe all the furniture and items."
"Okay, this time it's thanks to your intentions." The queen patted Ling Qiyang's hand, and ordered the personal servant to do it.
"The emperor's safety is related to the Daye harem, and any accident in the harem will implicate the previous court, and the ministers should do their best." Ling Qiyang said.
"Good." The queen nodded with a smile.
An hour later, the servants began to tidy up the bedroom according to Ling Qiyang's instructions, and the queen took Jun Lixuan and Ling Qiyang to the main hall to sit and drink tea.
The three of them were chatting about the scene of the New Year outside the palace when they heard "The Emperor is coming" from outside the door.
The Queen hurriedly stood up to meet her, and the two followed behind, greeting Emperor Yanxi.
"It's all free, you don't have to be restrained at home." Emperor Yanxi sat on the main seat, and the servant brought hot tea.
"Why is the emperor here at this hour?" the queen asked.
"It's nothing, I just came to see you." Emperor Yanxi took a sip of tea, then looked at the two of them again, "We came too early."
"I brought Qiyang to pay my respects to the empress mother. If you come late and there are many people in the palace, the empress will be too busy." Jun Lixuan said it reasonably.
"En." The emperor nodded, and said to the queen: "Today, the imperial concubine sent someone to invite me at noon. She said that she was frightened by your cat, and she was a little depressed."
"Mo Yuer?" The queen pretended not to know and said, "Today, the concubines in the palace came to pay their respects. Mo Yuer was lying in my arms and kept staring at the imperial concubine. I thought it was because my sister was looking good. Look, I never thought I would scare her." The queen also felt that Mo Yuer was very wary of the imperial concubine today, but she didn't make any moves. It might be the smell of the imperial concubine that made her uneasy, but it was not harmful. .
"Mo Yuer?"
"Yes, it's the cat's name." The Queen smiled.
"I want to report to my father, Mo Yuer is the kitten that my ministers sent the emperor to relieve her boredom. Qi Yang raised her since she was a child. The ministers think that it is obedient and has a rare appearance. Thinking that the ministers are all grown up, the emperor Niang inevitably felt lonely under her knees, so she sent it as a New Year gift to Huang Niang, so as to make Huang Niang smile." Jun Lixuan said.
"You are filial." Emperor Yanxi said.
"Meow..." Mo Yu'er, who came back from drinking water, walked up in a timely manner, looked at Emperor Yanxi at the door, and then ran to Ling Qiyang's feet.
Emperor Yanxi looked at the little Mo Yuer with surprise in his eyes, and then fell silent as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he sighed calmly, looked at Ling Qiyang, and said, "The cat you raise is very special and cute. If you have a chance in the future, please give me one too."
Although Ling Qiyang didn't understand what the emperor meant, he still complied, "Yes. I obey."
"When the imperial concubine first entered the palace, she also raised a cat. It was snow-white and beautiful, and it was twice as big as Mo Yu'er. The concubine remembered that when the cat died, the imperial concubine was still sad for a long time. I never thought that she would die. It will scare Mo Yu'er, and she will think she is a cat lover. It's the concubine's negligence." The queen pleaded guilty.
Emperor Yanxi shook his head, "It has nothing to do with you, it's the imperial concubine's own fault. That's enough, I'll go back to the palace first, and you guys should arrive early for the dinner."
"Yes, send it off to the emperor."
"Respectfully send off the father."
After the emperor left with a group of people, Jun Lixuan touched Mo Yu'er's head, and felt that the kitten was really reliable.
Ling Qiyang looked at Jun Lixuan's movements, and said: "It is estimated that the spices used by the imperial concubine and the emperor used complement each other, but they are not as strong as Shen Yuexiang, so Mo Yuer just watched."
"Mo Yuer's blue eyes and staring at people are a bit scary. The imperial concubine said she was scared, but she was actually guilty. There are rumors that the black cat has psychics. She probably thinks that Mo Yuer saw something." Jun Li Xuan said.
"There is a saying. If the emperor believes in the imperial concubine's words, if Mo Yu'er grows bigger and more aggressive, the emperor will either let you be carried back or be killed directly." Ling Qiyang stroked the kitten's fur, feeling This little thing is also quite dangerous.
"Fortunately, father didn't care about this matter, and Mo Yu'er is considered safe." Jun Lixuan comforted.
"En." Ling Qiyang nodded.
The queen drank tea, watched the unabashed conversation between her son and Erqing, and felt that only in this way could a husband and wife be like a husband and wife and be a family.
When it was almost time for the dinner, the queen went to the imperial dining room first to see if the dishes were ready. Originally, the queen didn't need to go to see it in person, but thinking of such a festive day, what if something bad happens, and the recent restlessness in the harem, so the queen decided to go and see it in person, just to be on the safe side.
Before leaving, she asked the waiter to take out a box, handed it to Jun Lixuan and Ling Qiyang, and said: "The emperor's New Year's gift to you, I hope you are safe and happy, and your husband and wife are harmonious."
"Thank you, Empress." The two thanked each other and sent the queen out.
After the queen left, Jun Lixuan opened the box, and inside was a pair of jade bead bracelets used by men. A Buddhist bead was embedded on each side of the huge jade bead. The faint scent of sandalwood made people feel very peaceful, and it was indeed a good thing for Jingshen. .
Jun Lixuan took Ling Qiyang's hand and brought the bracelet to his wrist, "I hope it can bless you with peace and prosperity." These four words were left to him by Ling Qiyang in his previous life, and he only now understands that "smooth and peace" is not A simple blessing, but caring too much about the other party, I don't know how to pray for the other party's well-being, so I can only use these four words to cover everything.
Ling Qiyang looked into his eyes with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Your wish is my wish, your heart is my heart."
Jun Lixuan couldn't help stretching out his arms to hug Ling Qiyang tightly, as if to convey a certain emotion, and also as if he was afraid that if he let go, the other party would disappear.
Jun Liche who entered the door heard that Jun Lixuan was in the Queen's Palace, so he came to have a look and wanted to go to the banquet together. But as soon as the corner of the curtain was lifted, I saw two people embracing each other. Jun Liche hurriedly put down the curtain, pretending that nothing happened or saw anything, and walked out with his hands behind his back. Xindao: The news I got is not as good as the two people's closeness.
The author has something to say:
I have always felt that Emperor Yanxi is a complicated character, so let's take it easy later.
Regarding Jun Lixuan's petting of Ling Qiyang, someone left a message saying that they didn't think it was enough and wanted to see pets with no lower limit.
A certain pupil can understand this. But we should go back to the story itself to see the problem. First, Jun Lixuan’s character is rational, restrained, and calm, so he does it more with actions rather than words. Second, Ling Qiyang is also a person who has been waiting and disappointed, and he can see many things very clearly. If Jun Lixuan is too pampered now, it will make him feel that the other party has other purposes, after all, the Jun Lixuan he knows is not that kind of person. So Jun Lixuan needs to go deep into it slowly, and at the same time to pamper Ling Qiyang slowly, let Ling Qiyang believe that he is good to Ling Qiyang, just because Ling Qiyang is worthy of Jun Lixuan to do this.
In fact, any feeling should be properly expressed, this is the long-term solution.
