"There are still many things that Your Majesty doesn't know." Ye Jun twisted her body and looked up at him, "Your Majesty, won't you let me down?"
Ning Chen curled his lips slightly and nodded, "Let it go naturally."
As he was speaking, his hands suddenly loosened, and the sudden feeling of weightlessness made Ye Jun instinctively hook her arms around his neck tightly.
The pain from close contact with the ground naturally did not come as expected. Instead, when I closed my eyes in fear, I felt a light kiss on my forehead.
"It seems that Qingqing really loves me so much that she is reluctant to let go."
Hearing these words, Ye Jun was so angry that he wanted to bite off Ning Chen's nose.
This kind of teasing thing is something that only she can do well, right
The two of them made a lot of noise in the room until Yuan Jiu came in and said that a minister wanted to see them, and then they stopped.
Ning Chen was still reluctant to leave, but he couldn't ignore state affairs.
Then he squeezed her hand and said, "I won't have lunch with you. I'll come to see you in the evening."
"Okay, then I'll wait for the emperor to make the rice dumplings." Ye Jun smiled.
But before leaving, Ning Chen did not forget to destroy the evidence. He used the excuse that he liked the clay sculptures on her desk and asked Yuan Jiu to take them all away.
He couldn't be caught breaking that thing.
However, the emperor's "bad behavior" could not be concealed. When Huiyue took the box to pack it, she saw the broken mud sword.
Why would the emperor want a broken sword? Huiyue thought about it and understood everything.
Most likely the emperor broke them accidentally and was afraid of being discovered by his master, so he found an excuse to take them all away.
Adhering to the principle of loyalty, Huiyue told the emperor and his entourage the whole story as soon as they left.
Ye Jun must be speechless.
Who says men remain young until they die? This man may remain a child until he dies.
Calling him a teenager overstates his age and is extremely childish.
But it also makes people want to laugh for some reason. This kind of hiding is like a child who has done something bad and is afraid of being discovered by his parents.
Ye Jun was too lazy to care, so he turned a blind eye and just treated it as coaxing a child.
The atmosphere in Yuxiu Pavilion is just right, but it is completely the opposite elsewhere.
When Concubine Wende heard that the emperor went to Concubine Ming's place as soon as he left the court early in the morning, she was so angry that she smashed the tea sets on the table.
This was the first time she lost her temper so much that even the eldest prince was frightened and cried non-stop.
"Hurry up and take the baby away. Is the wet nurse dead?!"
"Your Majesty, calm down. I will take the eldest prince away right now."
A wet nurse hurried forward and took down the eldest prince, who was sitting on the soft couch and playing with a rag tiger.
The child's skin was sickly pale, and now he was frightened and crying, his skin was swollen like a pig's liver. It was scary to look at, and I was afraid that he would get hurt by crying.
There was no more crying of children in the hall, and the servants dared not even make a sound. The entire main hall was so quiet that it made people feel even more irritated.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not worth it, or you might get sick from being angry." Bai Shuang bravely advised.
"Calm down, calm down. All you do all day long is persuade me to calm down. Can't you say something else useful? The emperor treats me so coldly. After some time, this Chuxiu Palace will probably become a cold palace!" Concubine Wende said angrily.
Naturally, she said this in anger. The Chuxiu Palace has the eldest prince, and she is a concubine. Even the concubines in the Shufei Palace are inferior to her.
But at this moment, Concubine Wende felt very aggrieved.
She felt aggrieved that the emperor did not give her face at the family banquet, so she returned to the palace and, apart from the queen, went to see Yi Xiuyuan first. That would have been fine, as she had claimed to be ill, but the emperor went to Yuxiu Pavilion the next day and did not come to see her.
Yi Xiuyuan at least gave birth to a prince and was a concubine, but why was Ye ahead of her!
"Your Majesty, the emperor still has you in his heart. I think the reason he went to Yuxiu Pavilion is because Ye's cousin stayed there to serve as an official during this southern tour, and the emperor wanted to promote her. The affairs of the previous dynasty are complicated and inevitably related to the harem. I'm sure the emperor has no choice." Bai Lu also advised.
It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned this, because once she did, Concubine Wende became even more flustered.
She didn't care about her family background before because she was the most favored in the harem and no one could compare to her. But now she is no longer as favored as before, and her family background is not as good as others. She suddenly feels that she has had no real support for all these years.
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and my whole body went cold.
"All of you go out and leave me alone." Concubine Wende closed her eyes, her tone revealing fatigue.
Bai Lu and Bai Shuang looked at each other and saw worry on each other's faces, but they could only retreat as ordered.
Everyone knows that flowers do not last forever, but no one dares to say this to Concubine Wende.
As the palace maids who served the emperor personally, Bai Lu and Bai Shuang could both see that the queen's love for the emperor was so deep that she had long lost her sense of propriety.
Cui in the side hall kept the door closed and did not come out, but she could still hear clearly what was happening in the main hall.
Before entering the palace, she had heard that Concubine Wende was in favor, and thought that if she was assigned to live in Chuxiu Palace, she would have the opportunity to see the emperor more often. But now it seems that Concubine Wende has fallen out of favor.
If the emperor doesn't come to Chuxiu Palace, how can I still be favored
Cui secretly thought that after officially serving the emperor in bed, she would have to find a way to move out.
No matter what happened in Chuxiu Palace, Ning Chen promised to go to Yuxiu Pavilion in the evening and came as promised.
It's just that I'm obviously not in a better mood than in the morning.
I guess I met with the minister this morning and dealt with some unpleasant things.
Anyway, Ye Jun didn't ask. He said he wanted to make rice dumplings. The ingredients were all ready and he was just waiting for someone to come.
Nian Gao felt sleepy at night, so he lay in the ventilated place at the door, watching a group of people in the house making rice dumplings.
Yes, a group of people.
Because Ye Jun and Ning Chen didn't know how to do it, they called Huiyue and Nanzhi to teach them. Yuan Jiu and Bai Zhu gathered around the table to watch.
"Your Majesty, Concubine, please look at my hands. These two pieces of zongzi leaves are placed flat on the palm of your hand along the overlap. Fold the tail of the leaf towards the head of the leaf, and then fold it from the head to the tail. Twist it into a funnel shape, and you can add rice inside."
Huiyue explained in detail and demonstrated by hands-on.
But the fact is often that the eyes can do it, but the hands cannot.
Ye Jun struggled for a long time but couldn't make it tight. It leaked here and there. On the contrary, Ning Chen learned it quickly and made several.
"No more playing, no more playing. I am the only one who doesn't know how to wrap it, which makes me look stupid!"
Ye Jun shook her hands, pouted and stood up unhappily.
Ning Chen felt amused when he saw her throwing a tantrum. He also wiped his hands and stood up, "Didn't you say you wanted to pack this? But you were the one who refused first."
"Hehe, I don't want to make dumplings anymore. I just want to eat them. I want to eat the dumplings that the emperor made." Ye Jun reached out to touch the pattern on Ning Chen's sleeve, turned around and ordered, "Huiyue, cook the dumplings that the emperor made separately in a small stove and bring them to me!"
Huiyue felt troubled and looked up at her two masters.
Ning Chen didn't care. He smiled and waved his hand, "Go cook. They are all for your Concubine."
