Wang Qiru carried the skirt and walked to half of the steps. Yuan Zhaoyi was coming down. On the magnificent Jiulong white jade steps, two women in rose and purple gowns looked at each other, becoming more and more gorgeous.
They nodded at the same time, but they were silent.
Wang Qiru looked indifferent.
Yuan Zhaoyi's sarcasm was uncontrollable, but after all, she gave a cold snort, not daring to speak sarcastically, considering her status as the princess.
Liang Huai'en greeted him worriedly and stretched his arm to Wang Qiru.
"The princess, the emperor is waiting. The slave is supporting you."
Wang Qiru's hand slightly raised, and elegantly placed it on his forearm.
Yuan Zhaoyi looked at Liang Huai'en's respectful appearance, and couldn't help thinking. She, Zhaoyi, is the most favored woman in the palace, and she has never served him like this!
She twisted her sleeves angrily, speeded up her steps and descended the steps.
But I heard Liang Huaien's sharp voice, and said softly, "The princess and empress wear this robe, which looks better than when she wore it in Jiangnan. See you, the emperor, I will love it."
Wang Qiru snorted, "Daddy Liang, your mouth is getting more and more pleasing!"
It was only then that Yuan Zhaoyi suddenly realized that she failed to succeed in her own tricks, but, like Princess Lan, became an impersonator! No wonder, the emperor looked at her with that look just now? The woman he truly loves cannot be humiliated and imitated.
As soon as Yuan Zhaoyi came down the steps, a young eunuch in Tsing Yi rushed over, "Manny Zhaoyi, the eldest prince is waiting for your news!"
"You tell him that my concubine sealing ceremony is the best time."
"The servant first congratulates the empress on being a concubine, and the eldest prince will definitely reward you."
Yuan Zhaoyi got a lot of praise, and was so happy that he couldn't hear from ear to ear, and the unhappiness of the previous moment disappeared. "Go! Tell the eldest prince that you got that longevity pill from the emperor's hands, don't forget to give me one!"
"Yes." The little eunuch received the good news and hurried away.
In the imperial study room, gilded and splendid, under the double dragon beam, Wang Qiru's graceful and glamorous figure entered the hall, and Liang Huai'en promptly closed the door of the hall respectfully.
Just as she was about to kneel down, the handsome figure on the dragon chair bypassed the eager gold case and came close in an instant.
"Qiru damn it, the emperor has been waiting for a long time!"
He laughed suddenly, his eyes burning red like weeping blood. Before the tears fell, he quickly let go of her and wiped away the tears in a hurry.
When the two were facing each other, she was also in tears, but they all cried and laughed invariably. This laughter was a loss of gratitude and enmity, and only... the infatuation was over.
She pressed the corners of her eyes with the spar and raised her eyes, seeing Kang Yong looking carefully at her rose purple peony brocade robe with love and affection.
She spread her arms generously, turned her posture gently, let him see enough, couldn't help laughing at herself, "I'm old, I don't look good in clothes."
"It looks better than before!"
He smiled affectionately, staring at her, wishing to give her his whole heart.
His Qiru finally came back after going through the wind and frost. She was still so cold and beautiful, calm and quiet, even if she came with a purpose, he was happy.
Her big, generous hands held her white jade-like softness, and the two of them joined each other and sat on the dragon chair.
"Are you uncomfortable sitting next to me?"
"What's not used to it? You used to be sleepy while studying, and you all slept on my lap. I was really not used to it at that time, and it was the first time I saw a man sleeping and drooling."
The hearty and thick laughter filled the entire Imperial Study Room.
The two seemed to have never separated yesterday, and she naturally leaned in his arms, with inexplicable tears in her eyes.
He held her with one hand, and stroked the delicate embroidery on the sleeves of her robes with the other. The two of them were in a quiet place, as if, at this moment, they could go to the ground.
"This robe is suitable for you to wear now. After seeing you for the first time in Jiangnan, I was dreaming. I just wanted to find the best clothes in the world to set off your beauty, so I ran to Wang's brocade. At that time, I was not familiar with youthfulness. In the world, I don’t know that this robe is for older women. I just think it’s beautiful and luxurious, so I desperately bought it and gave it to you."
Thinking of the funny things in the past, he faded away from the emperor's prestige and simply became an ordinary man in love.
"It was only later that I learned that Wang's brocade was made by your house, and this robe was also embroidered by you. And that year, I was fifteen years old, wandering around every day, not familiar with the thrills of the court, or a clean one. people."
She clasped his hand, pulled it to her cheek, and pressed it lightly against his palm.
"Yong, I'm sorry... Back then, I also felt that it was the best for you to be an emperor. I didn't want to delay your future, so I agreed with my father and didn't enter the palace."
"I am the one who lost you and married Su Shimin! Qiru, I owe you too much." He shed tears sadly, but continued to smile and said, "However, I am fortunate to meet you in the best years of life! "
"Yong..."
He took a deep breath, and the tears continued to flow. Over the years, he couldn't imagine that one day she could still be so peacefully in his arms.
When she dreamed back at midnight, it was her roar of anger, "Kang Yong, I hate you!"
Her eyes were full of disgust, as if looking at an unshakable enemy who was too late for him...
"I am at fault, I am jealous, I can't tolerate you and his children, and I can't tolerate you by others. Over the years, I have done too many mistakes. The person who should apologize is me!
"In that case, we are even." She choked and said, taking the Sipa to wipe the tears from his face, "Yong, we will be fine in the future, and we will not have any disputes, okay?"
"Okay." He took out a sacred decree from his sleeve and gave it to her, smiling mysteriously. "This is a gift from me."
Over the years, he sat in the dragon chair, and she followed Su Shitao. After the predecessors, the two talked carefully, the vocabulary was euphemistic, and the words and sentences were guessed for a long time before they could realize the true meaning.
At this moment, he didn't even bother to make any corners.
Although she had guessed the content of this imperial edict, her heartbeat increased and she was surprised and disturbed.
After all, she just wore this robe into the palace this morning. Before that, they had never crossed the thunder pond for half a step...
He had already prepared this imperial decree for a long time, waiting for her to change her mind, waiting for a long time.
This mind... She can't help but move.
The delicate hand gently opened the golden Tamron brocade, and sure enough, it was the imperial decree to enshrine her pair of children.
The corners of her smiling lips were fully raised, her teeth were white, tears in her eyes rushed and rolled down...
She was so excited that she didn't know what to say, and wanted to kneel down to thank her, but he grabbed her wrist.
"Like it?"
"I like it, but, I'm afraid... it's wrong! If you dote on Jinli and Jinyu like this, they may have to think about it again. Civil and military officials, concubines, I am afraid they will not agree."
"As long as you are happy!"
He held her face, and kissed her gently on her lips, just like the intimacy he used to be when he was beautiful. The touch was still sweet, but his thick eyebrows raised bitterly.
"In addition to this, I have something better for you." He said against her forehead.
She put aside the imperial edict, raised her face, and gently catered to him, "What could be better than this in the world?"
"Of course it is me!"
She felt lighthearted, thinking about acting, but helplessly, she couldn't stand her acting.
"Yong, you belong to me, don't you?"
"Since you gave it to your concubine, you can't give it to anyone else!" She looked at him faintly, half annoying, half serious, half provocative, and half teasing.
"The same is true for me, as long as you are enough!"
He murmured and kissed her softly, not daring to be fierce, not daring to use force, and cautiously delivering love.
She responded with caution, and gradually lost the way of coming... her heart and soul were rippling.
Before the situation got out of control, the two let go of each other at the same time.
Wang Qiru stopped the beginning, went to the window, wiped her eyes evasively, but panicked in her heart.
Since he has given her such a great reward, she is bound to repay it physically and mentally...
However, these years, surrounded by beauties around him, she has reached middle age, her beauty is still there, but she is not as good as those young concubines.
"Go to Ning'an Prince's Mansion to pass the decree. If Jinli is not there, go to the National Teacher's Mansion again, be sure to tell it in person." Kang Yong said to Liang Huai'en, unable to help but look at that beautiful shadow...
The sky light outside the window was already bright, covering her in a large beam of bright white light. Her graceful posture became more and more refined and glamorous, but she grabbed Sipa awkwardly, her cheeks flushed with shame, and seemed at a loss.
When Liang Huaien went out, Kang Yong sat back on the dragon chair again.
Hearing the sound of closing the door, Wang Qiru walked over again and stood in front of his long case. She didn't want the atmosphere to be too awkward, so her eyes fell on the soup cup at the corner of his table.
"This is... the wolf blood that Yuan Zhaoyi brought?"
"Yeah." He seemed to be busy sorting out the memorials, preventing her from seeing that he was more nervous than her.
The delicate fingers touched the soup cup slightly, "It's already cold, do you want to warm it up."
He laughed and shook his head, "There is poison in it, how dare I drink it?"
She frowned, pulled out the silver hairpin from her head, and opened the soup cup for inspection, but there was no response from the silver hairpin.
The scattered memorials on the table were neatly arranged, and they were all reviewed. He got up and went around the table, took the silver hairpin from her hand, and put it on her head with his own hands.
"Qiru, this thing can't be detected, and their poisoned mind can't even be understood by the imperial doctor."
"But... I heard that Yuan Zhaoyi gives you this thing every day. Your body..."
He bowed his head and kissed her lightly on the cheek, "Don't worry, I didn't take a drink."
He held her hand in one hand, held the soup cup in the other, walked to the flowerpot in the inner room, and poured the blood in.
The flowerpot was already dead because it had poured too much wolf blood from Yuan Zhaoyi.
Wang Qiru looked at the dark flower branch, her phoenix eyes drenched, "Yong, Yuan Zhaoyi was given to you by the eldest prince, how could she dare to harm you like this?" His heartache can be imagined by being victimized by his own flesh and blood.
"Kang Wen thinks that I have lived too long! And he... is my first son again, so he decided that the Long Chair is none other than him."
Kang Yong said these words as if he was talking about the spring weather at four o'clock. He raised his eyebrows leisurely, and the corners of his eyebrows were laughing at himself.
Wang Qiru suddenly realized, "No wonder, that day he would beg the emperor to severely punish the four princes, he actually had this purpose!"
Thinking of Kang Heng, Kang Yong couldn't help being silent.
Comparing Kang Heng with Kang Wen, the only difference is that Kang Heng was born by Concubine Lan. He couldn't afford it because of love, so he took Lan Fei as Qiru's stand-in, and he had Kang Heng.
Wang Qiru cleverly ignored his complicated expression, and just continued, "The great prince will get rid of the emperor and the four princes, and this dynasty of Qi can become his? There are also the queen mother, the queen, and the hundred officials, how about him? Successfully ascended to the throne and proclaimed emperor?"
"This is the beauty of this poison!" He lightly looked at the black flower branch, and smiled, "This medicine has an interesting name called "Wan Shi Ruyi", which is more subtle than the hypnosis of a vampire. If I take it for three months, It becomes a puppet that listens to words and deceives. By then, Kang Wen will ask for a decree of the position, and it will be as easy as turning back."
