Song Jinning rested her right elbow on the kang table, resting her chin in her hand, while drinking the iced lemon tea in the glass cup leisurely, while looking at Li Chengxuan who was sitting opposite her.
Lee Seung-sun: ...
Li Chengxuan's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably. In the process of eating creme brulee, the silver spoon in his hand touched the bowl wall several times, making a crisp sound.
Song Jinning pretended not to hear him, and still looked at him while drinking iced lemon tea.
Li Chengxuan felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest when she continued to look at him like this.
He asked in a rough voice: "Why do you keep looking at me like this?"
Song Jinning narrowed her eyes and smiled slightly, her eyes full of playful light.
"Because you have a flower growing on your face."
Li Chengxuan:?
Is he a tree or a vine, and can a flower grow on his face
Is this tricking him into treating him like a child
A handsome face couldn't help but darken, and lightly reprimanded: "Speak well!"
"Okay." Song Jinning wasn't afraid of him at all, and she still had the usual lazy look on her face, "I just want to see what your Majesty is upset about."
Li Chengxuan was startled when he asked this question.
Yeah, what is he upset about
Because Song Jinning's creme brulee wasn't for him alone, but for that doctor
Or is it because that doctor is a jerk
He had a vague guess in his mind, but he didn't want to admit it.
Because he thought it was ridiculous. At the same time, he can't accept it.
But some things are beyond human control. Although Li Chengxuan couldn't accept that he might have already fallen in love with Song Jinning, but now when he looked at Song Jinning again, he felt that she was good everywhere.
With slender eyebrows and apricot eyes, white teeth and red lips, she is like a crabapple flower that is just blooming in March, her beauty is extraordinary.
Li Chengxuan was infatuated for a moment.
When he reacted, he dropped the silver spoon in his hand in fright, stood up, and strode out of the hall.
Song Jinning looked at his back running away like a bereaved dog, and raised his eyebrows in confusion.
Gu Yu didn't understand either.
She turned her head to the side, wanting to use her eyes to convey to Bai Lu the confusion in her heart at the moment, and to share with each other the reason why His Majesty suddenly ran away without saying a word, and she didn't want to see the frank expression on the latter's face swing.
Apparently, she was also so open-minded at the moment, she didn't think deeply about it at all.
Even when meeting her worried eyes, Bai Lu tilted her head slightly, and then blinked at her twice.
The meaning is obvious. Gu Yu, what do you see me doing? something
Gu Yu: ...
So why did she think about communicating this with Bai Lu? This guy has a simple mind, except for the empress, she doesn't care about other people or things at all.
Gu Yu felt that she had suffered serious internal injuries.
She silently swallowed a mouthful of old blood that had welled up to her throat, and then said to Song Jinning, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is gone."
"oh."
Although Song Jinning's face did not have the same candid expression as Bai Lu's, it was also a face of an old god who was careless and indifferent.
"Let's just go."
Gu Yu went crazy.
Why are both of them like this? So is she the only one who is working hard to make the relationship between the empress and His Majesty better
Li Chengxuan didn't come to Weiyang Palace for several days, Song Jinning didn't care about it.
As usual, I still read books, stroke cats, look at flowers, and sleep in my own palace. What's more, I went to the Empress Dowager Song to talk and play the horse hanging. I lived a really leisurely life.
It's just as bad. When she accumulated some puzzles in the medical books and asked someone to go to the imperial hospital to ask Liu Lanxi to come over to explain her doubts, the person who came was not Liu Lanxi, but Zhou Yizheng.
Song Jinning naturally wanted to ask the reason, and learned that it was Li Chengxuan who sent Zhou Jing to the Royal Hospital after returning that day.
First, Zhou Yizheng was reprimanded, saying that he disrespected the queen. The queen is confused, since he, a doctor, should go to solve the confusion in person, how can he send a small doctor to go there? It is clearly despising the queen. Ask him if he is guilty or not.
In short, a big hat was swooped down to cover his head, and Doctor Zhou, who was so frightened, was kneeling on the ground trembling like a quail in the rain, and said that he didn't dare and that he was guilty.
Later Zhou Jing changed the topic. Said that Doctor Zhou was convicted, His Majesty will give him another chance. In the future, whenever the queen calls, Doctor Zhou must go right away, and no one else will be allowed to do so.
After such a combination of punches, how dare Doctor Zhou not obey
So just after learning that a maidservant from Weiyang Palace had come to invite Liu Lanxi, Doctor Zhou came to clean up immediately.
Song Jinning's mind went blank for a moment.
Lee Seung-sun What does this mean
For her good? Even if the two of them are married by contract, since she is a queen now, she should have the honor of being a queen, and no one can despise her
So the reason why he was unhappy that day was because of this
Then why not tell her directly? There was also a person who was awkward there for a long time, and he didn't say anything when asked.
But according to Song Jinning's understanding of Li Chengxuan these days, this person is basically a straightforward person. Presumably, he would never express concern about her face in front of her.
Or is he really only concerned about his own face? After all, the emperor and empress are one body, if she loses face as a queen, how much face will he have as an emperor.
But no matter what, she decided to accept this love.
He asked Gu Yu to send Li Chengxuan a copy of the milk jelly he had just made in the small kitchen.
Gu Yu came back to report, saying that His Majesty never saw her, and Zhou Jing came out to collect the milk jelly and sent it in.
There is anxiety in the speech.
Because in the past, when she went to the royal study to deliver desserts, Li Chengxuan would ask her to come in and ask questions such as what ingredients were used for the desserts, how they were made, and what the queen is doing now. But this time Li Chengxuan was uncharacteristically.
So, is Your Majesty tired of Your Majesty, or tired of Your Majesty, or still angry with Your Majesty
Song Jinning was very calm about this, not worried at all.
She has heard a lot about the past two days.
It is said that Jiangnan reported the Dragon Boat Festival flood, and the floods passed, and all the houses and crops were destroyed. However, Jiangbei reported the drought, saying that thousands of miles of fertile fields were cracked, all the seedlings were withered, and there were countless victims.
Misfortunes never come singly, and the border is still unstable.
All these things together are enough to make Li Chengxuan's head burnt out, so why bother to ask how a small dessert is made
Although Song Jinning is a queen, she can't do anything about these matters of the previous dynasty. After much deliberation, the only thing I can do is to find less things for Li Chengxuan and make him more comfortable.
She tacitly agreed that in the future, Doctor Zhou would solve her doubts and not invite Liu Lanxi over.
That day, she read medical books in the palace for a while, and seeing that the sky was getting overcast, she called Gu Yu and Bai Lu, and they went to Shoukang Palace together.
When they got to the place, they were surprised to see that Jiang Wanqiu was there.
It turned out that what Jiang Wanqiu did last time was unsuccessful, and after returning home, she learned from the pain and decided to change her strategy.
It is very difficult to run into Li Chengxuan in the harem, but Li Chengxuan is a filial emperor, and he will often go to pay respects to the Empress Dowager Song. That being the case, why didn't she go to Shoukang Palace
In this way, not only will the chance of meeting Li Chengxuan be greatly increased, but you can even have a conversation with Li Chengxuan.
Jiang Wanqiu also knew that although her appearance was beautiful and elegant, Song Jinning's complexion was also outstanding. It is understandable that Li Chengxuan was not surprised by her at first sight last time.
But what does it matter? She thought silently in her heart, according to the revelation in that dream, Li Chengxuan's harem was fat, swallows and thin, and there were all kinds of beauties, but she was the only one who had a spiritual connection with Li Chengxuan.
In other words, she never made Li Chengxuan fall in love with her only because of her looks.
But having said that, Jiang Wanqiu couldn't help but feel sore when she saw Song Jinning walking into the palace wearing a light blue skirt with a smile on her face.
without him. Song Jinning's appearance is really outstanding.
Just like the rising sun, it has its own light, and no one can ignore it.
And because of their two identities, as soon as Song Jinning entered the palace, Jiang Wanqiu had to stand up and salute her.
Song Jinning was also surprised for a moment.
"Princess Fu doesn't need to be too polite, just get up."
After dismissing Jiang Wanqiu with one sentence, Song Jinning walked up to the Empress Dowager Song and called her aunt.
In the beginning, Song Jinning would salute the Empress Dowager Song every time she came to Shoukang Palace, but the Empress Dowager Song later told her that the whole family had to salute every time they met, how troublesome was that? And it doesn't look close. According to Yi Ai's family, this custom between our mother and son can be avoided.
Song Jinning naturally obeyed. So now she never salutes when she comes to Shoukang Palace.
Seeing Jiang Wanqiu, she was envious in her heart.
She remembered that in the dream she had, after Li Chengxuan accepted her as a concubine, every time she saw the Empress Dowager, she had no good looks towards her. Later, when Li Chengxuan abolished Song Jinning and made her queen, the Empress Dowager Song lost her temper a lot. Pointing to her face and calling her shameless.
Later, it was even ordered that she was not allowed to step into the Shoukang Palace. Her Empress Dowager Song would never admit that she had such a daughter-in-law.
So now seeing the scene where Song Jinning and the Empress Dowager Song live in harmony and harmony, how could Jiang Wanqiu feel better
Empress Dowager Song would not pay attention to her. Seeing Song Jinning, the frown that had been slightly frowned before finally relaxed.
"How did you come?"
He reached out and shook Song Jinning's hand, pulled her to sit beside him, and asked affectionately, "How is it, is it hot outside?"
As the saying goes, you don't know the end of spring when it rains, but you can know the depth of summer when it's sunny. It has been cloudy and rainy for days, and the weather is very cool, making people mistakenly think that it is still a suitable spring day. Unexpectedly, the sky suddenly cleared up a few days ago, the bright daylight hung in the sky, and the temperature soared all of a sudden.
It's almost like summer.
This kind of weather is only suitable for staying indoors or in a shady place. If you go out and walk around a little, you will have to sweat on your body.
"It's okay." Song Jinning also smiled and said affectionately, "It's cloudy outside, and there is still a slight breeze, so it's not very hot."
The Empress Dowager Song nodded and said yes, and told Cui Nong to serve the plum juice quickly.
The Empress Dowager Song's spleen and stomach are not very good, so she didn't dare to freeze the sour plum juice, but just soaked it in the freshly dug well water to get a little coolness.
Cui Nong led the palace servants over and offered Song Jinning a bowl of sour plum juice, and naturally also offered a bowl to the Queen Mother.
As for Jiang Wanqiu, she can't just sit here and watch their wives drink, can they? He ordered Cui Nong to also serve a bowl to Princess Fu.
Cui Nong complied, poured a bowl and asked the servant girl to send it over.
So after sitting in Shoukang Palace for half an hour, Jiang Wanqiu finally got a bowl of drink to relieve the heat.
Sitting in the chair while slowly drinking the bowl of sour plum juice, Jiang Wanqiu looked expressionlessly at the Empress Dowager Song and Song Jinning who were sitting on the top and were smiling.
Hmph, even if one of you is the queen mother and the other is the queen, what's the big deal
Soon the queen's seat will be my turn. At that time, I will be the lord of the six palaces. Not to mention Song Jinning, a deposed empress, even you, the empress dowager, would not dare to act presumptuously in front of me.
Swallowing the not-so-cold sour plum juice in her mouth, Jiang Wanqiu began to think in her heart that this time she would definitely not be like 'Dream' who rejected Li Chengxuan's offer to make her queen several times, and finally nodded after several years of entanglement agree. She will agree with Lee Seung-sun from the first time he said that he wants to make her queen.
She wants to be a queen sooner and feel proud. Then Fuyin's natal family made Concubine Wei and others only look up to her from now on.
Thinking of what she was proud of, Jiang Wanqiu only felt her mind agitated. The sour plum juice in his hand is like fine nectar and jade dew, it is incomparably sweet and delicious to drink.
At this time, I heard a servant girl outside the palace announcing loudly to the inside that the majesty is coming.
