When the fight just started, he asked if your sword skills were rusty, and after the fight, he praised your martial arts skills for not declining at all. This kind of words is naturally no problem for two warriors, but in the palace... At least Princess Yongping couldn't help but want to turn her head and pretend she didn't hear it. However, what she didn't expect was that Concubine Yu was not angry, but actually smiled.
"It's been many years since I've practiced swordplay with the emperor. The emperor's swordsmanship has not deteriorated, but has become more proficient than before." Concubine Yu did not tie her hair up just now, but instead tied her long black hair up high with a silver ring. At this moment, she looked heroic and at least ten years younger than her actual age.
Seeing Concubine Yu handing the sword to Princess Yongping, the emperor came forward. Hearing the praise, the happy emperor pulled her over and said with a smile, "Of course, I remember my father's teachings and practice martial arts and fitness every day. Otherwise, how could I live longer than those old guys?"
Princess Yongping stared in amazement as her father led her mother directly to a side hall at the back. When she looked in the direction, she saw that it was a bathhouse in Yonghe Palace. She couldn't help but feel a little flushed.
Although she knew from the time she was old enough to understand that her mother was the emperor's favorite concubine, and because of this, she was very jealous of the empress, but in her impression, her father didn't seem to stay in Yonghe Palace very often. And because she was raised in Yonghe Palace since she was a child, even if her father stayed, he would often make her sleep first. So she didn't see many scenes of real intimacy between her parents.
At this moment, seeing the emperor pulling Concubine Yu away as if no one was around, her usually cold mother did not resist, but followed the emperor's temper without saying a word. She only felt a little sore in her eyes and an indescribable complex emotion in her heart.
Just at this moment, she heard Liu Feng's voice behind her: "Oh, now I can finally explain to the Queen Mother. For several days, the Emperor stayed in the Palace of Heavenly Purity except for attending court and leaving the palace. It's all thanks to you, Princess, for urging the Emperor and Concubine Yu to practice swordplay, otherwise the Emperor might have just sat and talked and gone back."
Princess Yongping couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed a bit forced to give her credit for this achievement, didn't it? It should be said that her parents were originally very compatible, otherwise her father wouldn't have shown such a sincere smile from the bottom of his heart just now, and her mother wouldn't have shown her true ability that she had never shown in front of her. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"If I could become a pair of mandarin ducks, why would I refuse death? I would rather be a mandarin duck than be immortal. Mandarin ducks are really enviable, they come and go in pairs, don't you see?"
After reciting these four sentences, she walked towards her bedroom without looking back.
When she left, Liu Feng could not help but touch his eyebrows in boredom, but then he suddenly realized something. Last year, the emperor personally selected a son-in-law, and Princess Deyang and the other two princesses had already been betrothed, but Princess Yongping still had no one. Now that Zhu Ying was about to marry Zhang Shou, Princess Yongping, who always liked to compete with Zhu Ying in everything, must be very lonely, right
And having just seen the tacit understanding between the emperor and his concubine, Princess Yongping must have been stimulated again.
Thinking of this, Liu Feng muttered to himself, "It seems that I have to tell the emperor later. Even if she is tough on the outside, Princess Yongping actually longs to live with her lover... Wait, oh no, this is bad!"
