After Xiao Yanjun returned to the palace, just as Xia Chu expected, he went straight to Qingxin Palace without even having dinner.
Xia Chu stepped into the Qingxin Hall to change his position, and saw the wind coming from Xiao Yanjun's feet.
She quickly lowered her eyebrows and stood far away. After Xiao Yanjun entered, he kicked everyone out. She was both relieved and sweating in her heart.
The emperor was lying on the dragon couch, and Xiao Yanjun was sitting under the dragon couch.
The candlelight flickered, reflecting a dim yellow warmth in the hall. He leaned back on the couch, and Xia Chu peeked through the crack in the door. At first glance, there was really such a tender feeling.
Xiao Yuanzi nudged her without leaving any trace, and Xia Chu immediately stood up straight.
"Father, I have been kneeling for you for three days. I just came back from Tianyan Temple. Why don't you praise me?" Xiao Yanjun's tone was like that of a child asking for reward.
"When I was little, you often praised me, always saying that I was the child who was most like you." There was a hint of nostalgia on his face, and he paused for a moment: "But the second brother is the one who suffered so much from you. My beloved child, every time I go to the palace to find you, I can see him sitting in your arms. I will burst into tears when I go back. If I hadn't heard you telling your second brother that he was destiny Son, if you had chosen me, wouldn’t it be a blessing for us to have such a loving father and filial son today?”
Xiao Yanjun's face, which was looking back blankly, suddenly turned cold, his muscles twisted, and his body curled up, as if he was still a child, about to cry.
The confusion in his eyes then turned into resentment. He turned to look at the emperor lying on the couch, pointed at him and asked: "You liar, how can you say that you love me the most, like me the most, and give me everything good? Then why is he the son of destiny? But why did the general government let him inherit it? "
Xiao Yanjun suddenly laughed out loud: "I still remember that when Xiao Mubai was thirteen years old, he was unconscious like you. I hoped that he would never wake up... but he still woke up. But my father Your Majesty, you won’t have such good luck.”
When Xiao Yanjun was close to his ear, the emperor's fists couldn't help but clenched, but Xiao Yanjun's face was close to his ear and he didn't see it. He then continued: "My mother does not intend to let you live, son. I will also take good care of the Xiao family for you, and you will take good care of it in the sky to see who is the true son of destiny."
Xia Chu had been sticking outside the door, listening to the sounds in the hall. Although he couldn't hear clearly what Xiao Yanjun said inside, the high and low tone of his voice and the crazy laughter were really impressive. She was horrified.
She turned the silver bracelet on her wrist anxiously, looking out of the hall from time to time.
"What are you waiting for?" Xiao Yuanzi had already looked up seventeen or eighteen times after seeing her for such a while.
Xia Chu gritted his teeth, worried, fearing that the emperor inside wouldn't be able to hold back his cry and everyone would die together.
At this moment, a figure hurried outside the house.
Xia Chu's eyes lit up, and she saw the man say a few words in Eunuch Li's ear, and then he saw Eunuch Li walking over quickly. Xia Chu knocked on the door vigorously before he could say anything.
Eunuch Li glanced at her and said, "Your Highness, the Yufu Palace is in trouble. Please go there quickly."
After a while, the door was opened from the inside. Xiao Yanjun frowned and asked Eunuch Li, "Is my concubine okay?"
Eunuch Li bowed his body and reported back: "Your Majesty, you are fine, but the side hall is flooded. It is probably because the maids are greedy for warmth, and the low-quality charcoal fire is burning too brightly."
"Look at the Emperor." Xiao Yanjun's face brightened a little when he heard this. He brushed off his sleeves and hurriedly ran towards the Jade Palace.
Seeing his back go away, Xia Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief and covered her chest with lingering fear.
Eunuch Li stared at her with sharp eyes and asked softly: "What did you do?"
Xia Chu shrugged, neither saying yes nor no.
When the emperor woke up, Xia Chu was about to change, and they didn't have time to discuss and connect many things.
As long as we get through today, everything is negotiable.
She didn't mean to tease the emperor in the morning, but to prepare him mentally. Although he was awake now, after all, he was still surrounded by Concubine Li's people.
After Xia Chu slept for three hours, he was not idle even after he got up. He went to Yongning Palace and asked Xiao Zimu to think of a way to create some trouble for Yufu Palace after Xiao Yanjun returned to the palace today. As long as he could attract Xiao Yanjun Just go and visit Li Fei.
When Xiao Yanjun rushed over, Aodenge Rile had already arrived at the Jade Palace ahead of him. He was asking with concern whether Concubine Li was injured, and scolded the kneeling maid for not knowing whether to live or die.
When she saw Xiao Yanjun's figure, she immediately came over to greet him. Before even saying a few words, she felt sorry that he had been hungry for the past three days. She had already prepared dinner for him in the East Palace.
"No need." Xiao Yanjun replied lukewarmly. When Concubine Li frowned slightly, her voice became a little warmer and she said to Aodenge Rile: "Since we are here, let's come together Let’s have dinner at my concubine’s place.”
Aodenge Rile's heart froze when he rejected him, but then he smiled happily after hearing this, and responded in a sweet voice: "Okay."
Xiao Yanjun walked into the palace and asked the kneeling maid, "What's going on?"
Aodenge Rile immediately followed him, asking for credit and rushing to answer: "I have asked you clearly. This palace maid is secretly roasting food in the woodshed of the side hall. She is really looking for death."
Xiao Yanjun looked at the kneeling maid shivering and asked her warmly: "We just gave out wedding money a few days ago, and we gave double portions this year. How come you still bake food secretly?"
Aodenge was happy to see his gentle tone, and pursed his lips and echoed: "That's right, you burned down that woodshed. Can you afford to pay for it? If you hurt the empress again, you..."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, and the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, please forgive me. Your servant's family is in decline, and you still have elderly parents to serve outside the palace, and a younger brother who wants to go to school. I usually save as much as I can, but I won't dare to do it again in the future. Already..." The kneeling maid kept kowtowing, making a 'bang bang' sound.
Xiao Yanjun turned his head and glanced at Aodenge Rile displeasedly, and she paused instantly.
"Stop knocking, go down, and be more careful in your work from now on." Xiao Yanjun saw that if she kept knocking like this, it would be bad if she got too much blood.
Today is still the third day of the junior high school. The punishment was so severe that word spread that he was treating the palace people harshly during the year and it would not be good for his reputation. He might as well be more generous and become a benevolent king in the future and gain some reputation.
"Mother Concubine..." Aodenge Rile flattened his mouth and walked towards Concubine Li.
"Jun'er handled it very well. Don't bother yourself with this matter during the Chinese New Year." Concubine Li didn't care about the life or death of a palace maid, but right now she also hoped that Xiao Yanjun could accumulate more, both inside and outside the palace. Some good reputation.
Just such an incident happened today. After handling it like this and then publicizing it, it would do him no harm at all.
She smiled and held Aodengerile's hand, patted her watch gently to comfort her: "I know you are worried about your mother and concubine, so I asked Lian Yan to prepare some Mongolian dishes to reward you."
