Seventy-fourth bowl of soup (fourteen)
Qing Huan felt that she had slept for a long time, and when she woke up, her body was not very comfortable, and her eye sockets were a little sore and swollen. She wanted to rub her subconsciously, but she was caught: "Don't move around."
It's His Highness's voice!
She immediately opened her eyes wide, but she couldn't see anything when she opened her eyes. Her eyes were wrapped in a soft cloth, and she could only feel His Highness's breath surrounding her. Gentle and lingering, completely inconsistent with his cold appearance. "What happened to my eyes?"
"It's nothing." The emperor said lightly, "It will be fine in two days. I am busy with political affairs these few days and have no time to accompany you, so I will let Gu Tianquan take care of you and drink medicine on time every day. When I come back to see you, do you hear me?" ?”
She didn't dare to ask what happened, but she felt unexpected: "Your Highness... why do I need to drink medicine? Why do I need to cover my eyes? What's wrong with me?"
"Gu Tianquan has researched a method to remove the birthmark, because you also have it on your eyes, so you have to cover it up, it will heal faster."
But the usually stupid girl asked back: "I only have a birthmark on my left eye, why do I have to cover my right eye?"
"..." The emperor thought she was so annoying. Yesterday she said that she was stupid. Is this really a question that a stupid person should ask? "Don't worry about it so much, just cover it up obediently."
As soon as he lowered his voice, Qing Huan didn't dare to speak any more, and pursed his lips, "Then..."
"Okay I'm leaving."
He has been by her side since he found her, but now he has to leave frequently, Qing Huan subconsciously feels that something is wrong. I don't know where the courage came from, she even lifted the cloth strips from her eyes, and then reached out to grab the hem of the emperor's clothes. He turned his head while asking her to let go, and Qing Huan immediately saw it clearly!
The two fell into an awkward silence, and Qing Huan looked at him in shock: "Your Highness..."
The emperor narrowed his eyes, "Why, do you think I'm not good-looking?"
There was an ugly scar on his face, from his forehead to his chin, neat and neat, and the color was a strange dark red, which had scabbed over. But how can it be so fast? "Yesterday was obviously fine, why does Your Highness..."
"Think I'm ugly?" the emperor said in a dangerous tone. "Do you think I should be called A Chou?"
She shook her head in a panic, stretched out her hand to touch it and then retracted it. The emperor grabbed her hand and put it on it, staring at her eyes word by word: "I didn't want you to find out in a short time, but you are so misbehaving, and I don't know what to do." There is no way. Looking at this scar, it was drawn out by myself to leave you and me, and a special medicine was applied. The scar will not hurt or itch, but it will never heal. You always say that you Ugly, now I don't look good anymore, can you not leave?"
Qing Huan was speechless and was out of breath from crying. The emperor kissed her left eye, and said fascinatedly: "You cry with my eyes, you look very beautiful."
It was only then that she noticed that her left eye was able to see at some point, and she couldn't believe it when she heard the emperor say this.
"I won't give you back your eyes, they belong to me, and they are the proof that we are connected." The emperor pushed her down on the bed, and wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes with his slender and cold fingertips, "But I will give you your eyes." Eyes for you, so you owe me, and you won't leave me, right?"
He winked at her cunningly, and Qing Huan saw that his left eye was a very light-colored glass bead, although he couldn't see anything, it reflected her face, making him extremely beautiful.
The birthmark on her face was also gone, and she regained her normal face, with an astonishing complexion.
"Now you are the most beautiful, I am a little unhappy, I don't want people to see you." When the birthmark faded away, the emperor stared at it, and Gu Tianquan's hands trembled as he stared at it, but as the birthmark gradually faded, he was fine, As well as Gu Tianquan, they all showed surprise expressions.
The emperor and Qing Huan had been entangled most intimately. He was familiar with her every expression, every movement, every demeanor. In his heart, the birthmark was harmless. He had looked into her eyes countless times when he was in love. There is always affection in her beautiful eyes, her mouth is rosy and delicate, her nose is small and tall, and her profile is very beautiful. But even with these cognitions, when the birthmark disappeared, he still couldn't control his inner regret.
If I knew it was so good-looking, it would be better to be ugly.
Qing Huan held his face in her hands, not understanding: "Why..." Why did you do this? She is just a maidservant from a humble background, why is he willing to do this
"Didn't you say it?" The emperor kissed her eyes, "I love you."
Isn't that enough? No matter how many things are impossible, no matter how many things are unimaginable, no matter how many things have never happened before, it's all because he loves her.
Qing Huan cried, and he was upset again, "Your eyes are not healed yet, so don't cry."
She was used to being trained by him, she didn't dare to cry but couldn't help it, her little nose twitched, she was extraordinarily pretty. The emperor sighed in his heart, this face really fascinates all living beings, or it should be covered up in the future, since ancient times, he has never seen such a beautiful queen.
She finally stopped talking and left, and didn't dare to mention it, because when she accidentally said this word, the emperor would look disappointed and complain. He didn't care about his injury at all, and only said that she had no conscience and raised a white-eyed wolf. Well, his handsome face was ruined, yet she still mentioned this word at every turn. As soon as he heard this word, the emperor's heart beat faster and he felt uncomfortable. He needed her to kiss and hug him to get better.
The emperor really didn't care what his face looked like. When he came to the court the next day, he didn't even mention it to the following ministers who were bewildered, and no one dared to ask. So the matter of why Qiangu Mingjun was disfigured overnight was recorded in the annals of history and became an eternal mystery.
At the same time, there is also the story that the emperor had only one wife, the empress, throughout his life. This has never happened since ancient times, not before him, nor did the emperors after him. His love for his wife is like his vigorous and resolute governance policy, which cannot be discussed.
As far as Qing Huan is concerned, she and His Highness—no, they should be called His Majesty now. The way they get along has not changed much, the only thing is that their roles are reversed. In the past, she was the one who took care of him meticulously, but now he is the one who takes care of her more thoughtfully, doing everything by himself, and never pretending to be in the hands of others. He even helped her put on her clothes. If he was still happy when he went to court in the morning, he would definitely come back before she got up, wipe her face, hands, dress and comb her hair, treating her like a child.
He also likes to hold her on his back and carry her, in short, he just keeps her feet from stepping on the ground. Carrying her while reading, carrying it on her back when visiting the imperial garden, and carrying it when she was about to sleep but she refused, she didn't know why until the first year of winter hunting after they got married, the emperor carried her on the horse, The two threw off their guards and were looking for prey in the forest, when they suddenly saw a white-fronted tiger with dangling eyes. It was the first time she saw such a beast, and she was quite frightened.
The emperor kissed her ear, opened his bow and set an arrow, and in just a moment, the tiger convulsed and fell to the ground. When he draws the bow, he is full of vigor and heroism, really handsome to the extreme.
Then, His Majesty the Emperor asked: "Am I better or that villager is better?"
Qing Huan reacted for a while before realizing who he was talking about, and suddenly laughed: "Of course you are amazing."
He raised his brows triumphantly, "That's natural. The villager hunted a deer at most, but I hunted as many tigers and leopards as ferocious animals. Come on, let's go further in, and later hunt a silver fox to make a piece for you." cloak."
Qing smiled and leaned against his shoulder. It was only after the two became husband and wife that they realized a miraculous thing. After switching eyes, his sense of smell became closer to her and became extremely sensitive, and she became more and more intelligent. It was most obvious when she was reading and practicing calligraphy. Poems that required reading hundreds of times in the past to memorize can now be memorized at a glance. Probably, this is also God's favor for them.
But when it comes to Shuanzi... "Did the reward promised by His Majesty go to Shuanzi?"
The prince laughed. "Give it to him? It's a good idea."
Qing Huan: "..." I knew it.
Another point is that His Highness the Crown Prince, who used to be generous and benevolent, has become extremely cautious after being promoted to His Majesty the Emperor. Shuanzi was ordered by him to lie to her and then inform her. In the end, he found her, but said that Shuanzi betrayed her for the second time, not to mention the reward, and beat her twenty times.
It's just that after the fight, they were rewarded with money. This is a later story, and Qing Huan doesn't know about it.
This time the winter hunting came back with a full load, the emperor was happy and Qing Huan was also happy, but Gu Tianquan and Wu Yan suddenly asked to see each other when the emperor was away, the two are now ministers, Qing Huan met them, but their identities were very different Same again.
Because they are familiar with each other, the two don't go around in circles and ask Qing Huan for a favor. She was surprised when she found out, and when the emperor came back at lunch time, she tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, I've been back for so long, why haven't I seen Lord Shang?"
"Ah? You mean a commercial contract?" the emperor said while picking out fishbone for her, "I'm picking up manure in a stable."
"... Mr. Shang is so smart, why don't you let him pick up dung?"
"Otherwise? I let him go and he won't go. I don't need him anymore. The stable lacks a manure picker, and I didn't force him."
Qing Huan also knew that Shang Yue watched her go without stopping, but... how long has it been, and His Majesty is still angry. "It's almost over, Your Majesty, I've been picking up feces for almost five years..." She didn't believe it in the afternoon, and Wu Yan and the two took her to see it. Shang Yue knelt down at that time, and vowed with tears that he would definitely serve the empress in the future Qing Huan doesn't need to do this, but she just thinks it's almost enough to pick up dung for five years.
It just didn't stop her, nor hurt her.
The emperor thought for a while and said, "I remember that he only picked it up for four years, seven months and three days. How can it be five years?"
Qing Huan: "..."
"But since you begged for mercy, of course I want to give you face." The emperor fed her a mouthful of fish, and narrowed his dark eyes. "I've picked it up for five full years, and I'll consider reissuing it."
Qing Huan was happy, Wu Yan and others were also happy when they heard the news, and Shang Yue flew up happily.
But none of them knew that the emperor's so-called lenient sentence was nothing more than picking up horse dung and feeding the horses.
