Chapter 396: The Past (55)

Yi Xiaoxiao knelt at the door of the Youlian Palace, respectfully welcoming the arrival of Cheng Guang and the others.

Except for the pearl lying inside, the rest of the palace people have already gathered.

The small courtyard of the Youlian Hall is full of kneeling people.

Cheng Guang walked in step by step, his pace steady and slow, with the breath of an emperor.

He was already serious, but now he is even more calm.

Decai walked in the front, and the dust in his hand swayed as he walked.

His expression became unconsciously serious, and when he saw the palace man kneeling on the ground, he turned around and glanced at Cheng Guang's expression.

The latter has no expression.

Decai breathed a sigh of relief, he cleared his throat and shouted loudly to a group of palace people.

"The emperor has arrived. ”

When the palace people who knelt on the ground heard these four words, they all kowtowed in the direction of Cheng Guang.

The atmosphere was silent and serious.

"Emperor Jin'an!"

The aunt in charge of the Youlian Palace took the lead in shouting.

The people behind also shouted one by one, "Emperor Jin'an." ”

The sound is loud and uniform.

Cheng Guang was very satisfied with the way they received them.

He stood in front of the courtyard and did not enter.

"Your Majesty, are there any other questions?"

"Precious concubine, why don't you come out?"

"Back to the emperor, the concubine Niangniang's body has not been very good today, so she has been lying in it. ”

Xiaoxiao stiffened her head and said what Pearl told her to say.

Although, she knows better than anyone that the so-called precious concubine Niangniang, who is not in good health, is not in the palace for an afternoon.

Although, this news was brought to Decai by her, to the emperor.

But at the moment, she had to play dumb and pretend that she didn't know anything.

Not to mention the relationship between himself and virtue and talent.

She was still a loyal servant in front of these people.

A loyal servant who is loyal to the precious concubine.

"Oh?

Cheng Guang didn't even glance at Xiaoxiao, he turned his head and called Decai, who had retreated to the side.

"Tell him to go down and close the door. I'll wait until I've beckoned you to come in. ”

"It's the emperor. ”

Decai bowed his head obediently.

"Well, close the door. ”

Cheng Guang walked into the Lotus Palace, and the door behind him also closed.

His movements were so loud that it was impossible for even a person who was asleep not to be woken up.

So, the pearl that was going to sleep there really can't fit it.

At this time, if she didn't get up by herself, she would only be even more unable to get off the stage.

But she was angry, and the anger in her stomach did not allow her to bow her head first.

So she simply stiffened her head and continued to pretend to sleep in the thick quilt.

The sound outside just now can't be said to be unloud.

In the past, Cheng Guang came to her palace and never made such a loud noise.

Never, such a big pomp.

He had never done anything about a group of palace people kneeling at the door.

Today, why he did this, Pearl still has some numbers in his heart.

"Still sleeping? Pearl?"

From a very early age, he began to call her Concubine Zhen, and her name had not appeared in this man's mouth for a long, long time.

When she suddenly heard this name, she felt a little strange in her heart.

She's a little unaccustomed.

The word pearl, he called it very lightly and affectionately.

If she was the same as before, if she couldn't say it well, she would be subjugated by him again.

will put down all those grievances.

"......... pearl?"

"Uh-huh........"

Since she was already pretending to be asleep, she simply pretended to be a little more like it.

"What, are you tired today?"

The side of the bed suddenly sank.

A heavy object has sat down.

She was on her side, unable to see what was going on around her.

She couldn't guess Cheng Guang's expression at this moment, she could only roughly think of the mocking and arrogant smile on his handsome face.

"I'm a little tired, after giving birth to Xiaobao, I haven't had a good life........"

Her child has not yet been given the name of Cheng Guang.

So she can only call him Xiaobao.

"You've worked hard. ”

The people around him seemed to stretch out his long hands and hugged her into their arms.

In his arms was the familiar smell of ambergris.

Her nose can be said to be very accustomed to this smell.

Every night in the past, she fell asleep in such a embrace.

His arms are no longer as warm as they used to be.

Or maybe it was because he came over against the night wind, and there was a little more cold air in his arms.

The hands that circled her tightly around her stomach made her almost breathless.

"This is as it should be....... it is a blessing for a concubine to give birth to a child for the emperor. ”

"Pearl...... You've been lying here for a month, and it's time to get bored. In a few days, we will go to the palace to relax, and by the way, we will take the children to see the outside world........."

"Your Majesty, it's good if you decide. ”

"I haven't come to see you for so many days, are you angry?"

"How can the concubines be angry with the emperor. The concubine is just tired........."

"Child, I've been picking a name for a long time but can't pick out a satisfactory one, you say, do you want to give this name to you?"

"The concubines are shallow in their learning and are not good at choosing names, this kind of big thing is still for the emperor or ask the courtiers to take it. ”

"Look, you still say you're not angry. ”

Before Pearl could react, Cheng Guang had already turned around.

She was stunned, looking at Cheng Guang's handsome face, which was already a little wrinkled.

When he was younger, he should have been more perfect.

It is because of this handsome face that his sister can fall for it, and he can give birth to so many equally handsome and excellent children.

"Why are you in a daze? You don't even know me when you see me?"

"No....... just thinking that the emperor seems to be getting younger and more handsome. The concubine is slowly getting older, and after giving birth, she feels that she is much older........."

"Hahaha, Pearl, you're getting better at pleasing me. Where are you old, how old are you. Our Xiaobao has just been born now, and his mother said that he was old, and he should cry when he heard it. ”

"The concubine is just telling the truth, it is because the emperor is getting more and more handsome, so that the concubine always feels that she is not worthy of you........"

"Okay, don't be stupid. ”

Cheng Guang picked up Pearl's face, and a light kiss fell on her forehead and hair.

She closed her eyes and stopped talking.

For some reason, Cheng Guang's behavior made her a little disgusted.

Such a gentle action should also appear in other beauties and concubines.

And she, knowing this, has to accept it with a smile.

It turns out that the same hypocritical person, as well as herself.

It's exactly the same as the people kneeling outside the door.

Exactly the same hypocrisy.

In order to survive in this palace where one wrong step is about to die.

She's so hypocritical too.

Accepting what she hates, loving the man she doesn't like.

Even if she doesn't like it, she has to pretend to be happy to accept it.

Is that why that little kid doesn't like her?

"Pearl, afternoon, where did you go?"
