Wei Yingluo opened her eyes faintly.
Her hands and feet were weak, like a cloud. After a while, her mind gradually came to her senses, and she looked around at her current situation.
This is a clean house. She is lying on the bed, with two quilts under her body, and there is a kang burning beside her. The kang fire makes the house warm like spring.
"Miss Yingluo, you're finally awake." Several maids gathered around, one holding a towel and the other holding hot tea. Wei Yingluo didn't dare to use or drink it, and looked at them vigilantly: "What is this place? Why am I? will be here?"
"This is the enclosure of the Hall of Mental Cultivation." The palace maid smiled, with a hint of envy in her eyes, "Miss Yingluo, you walked in the heavy snow for four hours. The emperor is kind and spared you your sins."
When Wei Yingluo heard that it was an enclosed room, she turned over without saying a word, and ran out the door.
"Hey, where are you going?" The palace maids hurriedly stopped her.
"Hasn't the emperor already forgiven me?" Wei Yingluo resisted the unease and anxiety in her heart and said, "I'm going back to Changchun Palace."
The two palace maids looked at each other and burst out laughing.
Palace maid: "Even if you want to go back to Changchun Palace, you can't go back like this, it will scare the Empress!"
Wei Yingluo looked down at herself, and she was indeed in a state of embarrassment. Not only did she have snow and mud on her body, and the kang fire in the room condensed on her body, and when she got close, she smelled strange.
Palace Maiden: "We'll help you wash and change your clothes, dress up again, come here!"
Wei Yingluo was a little hesitant at first, but was pulled behind the screen by a few of them.
The water in the tub was neither cold nor hot, and there was always a maid next to her to test the temperature with her hands, but when she felt a little colder, she asked someone to come in and add a spoonful of hot water to keep the water temperature at the same temperature.
Wei Yingluo was served by them, washed her body, washed her hair, combed her hair with a horn comb from the root to the end, and put a little sesame oil at the end, which made her black hair reveal a faint scent of gardenia.
After she was finished getting dressed, Wei Yingluo looked at the mirror they handed over and couldn't help frowning: "What's the meaning of this?"
The anxiety in her heart seems to be gradually coming true. Look at what is reflected in the mirror. The golden butterfly hairpin, the pearl earrings, the flowers and winter robes worn by the butterflies are definitely not what a palace maid should wear, but a serious dress Master dress up.
The two palace maids looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison, "Congratulations to Miss Yingluo!"
Before Wei Yingluo could react, the two quickly left and locked the door.
Wei Yingluo was in a hurry and rushed to the door: "Open the door! Open the door! What are you doing!"
She pounded on the door for a long time, but not even a single crack was opened. Finally, she gritted her teeth, lowered her body and slammed her head up, but unexpectedly the door suddenly opened from the outside, and she was caught off guard and fell into the arms of a man.
This touch... It was clearly the person who hugged her when she fainted earlier.
Wei Yingluo slowly raised her head, but she never thought it would be this person: "Your Majesty..."
Hongli looked down at her, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Wei Yingluo is a beautiful woman. Even if she wears the clothes of a palace maid, she can stand out among the palace maids, and people will notice her at once. On this day, at this moment, all he had in mind was the conversation he had had with the Queen earlier.
"Your Majesty, you insist on destroying this marriage, do you really have no selfish intentions?"
"What selfishness can I have!"
"Maybe, the emperor took a fancy to Wei Yingluo and wanted to take it for himself."
"Your Majesty..." Wei Yingluo's doubtful voice awakened him from his memory.
Hongli was stunned, and found that he didn't know when, his right hand had touched her cheek, his movements were gentle and nostalgic.
Wei Yingluo seemed to be frightened by his actions, so she took a few steps back, raised her hand and took off the earring of her right ear: "Your Majesty forgive me, it was the maids who took the wrong clothes and jewelry, so the servants changed them immediately!"
She quickly took off her earrings, bracelets, and hairpins, and suddenly felt that the room was too quiet. She looked at Hongli carefully, only to realize that he had been sitting in a chair at some point, looking at her with his chin on one hand.
"What's wrong?" He said lightly, "Go ahead."
No way? Wei Yingluo grabbed the placket with one hand and swallowed.
All the pearl hairpin rings have been disassembled on the table, and the only thing left on her body is this dress...
Hongli tapped his finger on the table: "Don't you want to replace it? Why don't you change it?"
Wei Yingluo's hand gripping the front of the clothes is tighter: "The servant's original clothes are all wet, so I don't dare to offend Sheng Yan."
After a moment of silence, Hongli suddenly said, "Come here."
Because of the order, Wei Yingluo could only grit her teeth and took a small step forward.
Hongli frowned: "I asked you to come here."
Wei Yingluo vigilantly took another step closer, but was suddenly pulled in front of her by Hongli.
Seemingly unwilling to be troubled by himself, Hongli stared at her for a while, then suddenly said, "The queen said that I have a crush on you, what do you think?"
Wei Yingluo's heart skipped a beat, not moved by him, but frightened by him, and said with an apologetic smile: "The emperor is joking, the harem is like a cloud of beauties, colorful, and the servants are vulgar and ignorant, but wild flowers on the roadside, how dare they defile the emperor Eye!"
Hongli looked at her carefully, and saw Wei Yingluo's hair standing on end, Hongli suddenly smiled: "I think carefully, spring is spring when all the flowers bloom in the imperial garden. I'm tired of seeing beautiful and supple beauties. Boss, it's also very interesting!"
Wei Yingluo was shocked: "Your Majesty!"
Hongli: "Why, you don't want to?"
Wei Yingluo felt hair all over her body, and the place he touched felt itchy like caterpillars crawling, she tried her best not to push him away, and smiled reluctantly: "Your Majesty, this servant only wants to accompany the Empress, why do you care? For the sake of a temporary interest, hurt the relationship between you and Niangniang? Besides, you are an emperor, rich in the world, and broad-minded... and... "
The corner of Hongli's lips ticked: "What else?"
Wei Yingluo said anxiously, "Your decree can attract the world's most beautiful, fat and thin, and everything! Make sure everyone is gentle and in line with your preferences. Why do you have to force others to be difficult, you will only lose your identity!"
Hongli said: "It seems that you don't want to!"
Wei Yingluo said decisively, "How do house sparrows get along with phoenixes, the servants know themselves!"
Hongli pondered for a moment: "Thinking about the greatness of Kyushu, is it only because he has a daughter? I am the emperor of Qing Dynasty, the master of Kyushu, and the beauties in the world. taste!"
Wei Yingluo was about to be happy, but suddenly her body lightened and she was beaten and hugged.
Hongli sneered: "Do you expect me to say that?"
Hongli put her on the bed, knelt down on one leg beside her, and pressed her upper body over, like a mountain topple over, making Wei Yingluo out of breath, just turned her head to the side, she felt his lips lightly touch hers. Earlobe, warm breath poured into her ear, and smiled: "Tell you, the first time I forced a woman, I find it very interesting! The more you don't want, the more I want to get you!"
After speaking, he lightly pecked Wei Yingluo's ear.
