Chapter 19: Late-Night Narrative

"By the way, Sister Qingshao, the emperor is here today, I finally saw the emperor, but it's a pity that my sister went out, otherwise I could have seen him." Apricot looked slightly excited.

Hearing Xing'er mention the emperor suddenly, Qing Shao was choked by the water in his mouth all of a sudden, coughed violently several times, and his face turned red.

Xing'er hurriedly got up and patted Qingshao on the back: "Did you choke?" ”

Qing Shao waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and wiped the remaining tea from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.

"Your Majesty...... Coming to Yuyang Palace today? Although Qing Shao heard Qi Yuan say that he had come to Yuyang Palace in the Imperial Garden before, Qing Shao still couldn't let Xing'er know about her meeting with Qi Yuan.

Apricot nodded, with an excited smile on her face, and her face was flushed.

"The emperor is so heroic, so majestic, and ...... It's so good-looking! ”

Xing'er remembered the Qi Yuan she saw before, even if she was not wearing the most gorgeous dragon robe, but Qi Yuan's charm was really difficult for many people to resist.

"No wonder so many palace maids want to be the emperor's person......" Xing'er muttered quietly.

Since entering Yuyang Palace, Xing'er has not met many palace maids from other palaces on weekdays, and many palace maids actually want to be the emperor's woman in private.

Although Xing'er's muttering was very small, there were only two people in this room, and it was extremely quiet at night, so Qingshaojiang Xing'er's words were heard word for word.

"Apricot...... Do you also want to be the emperor's man? Qing Shao asked in a low voice, her words with some temptation.

Xing'er hurriedly shook her head when she heard Qing Shao's words, although the emperor is indeed very good-looking, but she doesn't want to be the emperor's person, and there are so many mothers in the emperor's harem, how can he have so much time to see all the people, isn't most of them still alone. People who can't get the emperor's favor must be very painful, and it seems that Concubine Yue Niangniang was locked up in the Cold Moon Palace before, if Xing'er herself became like that, it is estimated that she would feel that she must be sad to death.

Qing Shao smiled and nodded: "It's good for you to think like this, being the emperor's woman is probably the most difficult thing in the world." ”

Xing'er nodded as if she didn't understand, in fact, she was still young, and there were some things she still didn't understand.

"But...... Aunt said that it would be a pity if Sister Qingshao left the palace......" Xing'er looked at Qingshao and said.

In Xing'er, I saw that Sister Qingshao was really beautiful, more beautiful than many harem ladies she had seen, and her aunt often said that Sister Qingshao was very beautiful and suitable for staying in the palace, it would be a pity if she really stayed out of the palace.

Qing Shao shook his head helplessly.

Sometimes a lot of things are actually not in her control, and at first she thought about it for ...... also wants to stay in the palace, whether it is the emperor's woman or anything, but then she wants to go out of the palace and live a peaceful life. But now in the things she can't choose, she feels that she no longer has the right to choose.

Emperor...... What kind of thoughts do you have for her? Is it looking for novelty?

Qing Shao couldn't figure it out.

"Alright, it's not early, let's go to bed early!" Qing Shao said with a smile, since she didn't think about things she couldn't figure out, she didn't think about it anymore, she just waited for the emperor's decision.

But Xing'er pouted, and her eyes were moist as if she looked particularly pitiful: "Sister Qingshao, let Xing'er sleep with you...... What a lonely ......."

If there is anything else to say from the Cold Moon Palace to the Yuyang Palace, Xing'er feels that it is more difficult to accept the matter of sleeping at night, she always had her aunt with her before, but now her aunt is not by her side, so she feels that it is so cold to sleep on the quilt at night, but in fact, because Xing'er's qualifications are shallow, so she does not have a separate residence like Qingshao, she is assigned to the palace maids' shop, there are seven or eight people in a room, but Xing'er is not familiar with them, so she is not very close.

Seeing Xing'er's aggrieved appearance, Qing Shao's heart softened suddenly.

It's still a child.

"Okay, sleep with me, but don't kick the quilt!" Qing Shao smiled and twisted Ling Xing'er's little nose.

Xing'er cheered quietly after getting permission, and immediately showed a happy smile, she had slept with Sister Qingshao several times in the Cold Moon Palace before, and Sister Qingshao was the best.

After that, Xing'er immediately wanted to go to the suitcase to get the quilt.

Qing Shao saw that Xing'er's movements frightened the suitcase, and his face changed suddenly.

There's still Qi Yuan's cloak in there!

Qing Shao hurriedly pulled Xing'er over: "You can clean up the food box a little, and I'll clean up the bed!" "She must not let Apricot see the cloak.

Fortunately, Xing'er has a big temperament, and she didn't think much about it when Qingshao asked her to pack up the food box, so she immediately followed it.

Qing Shao breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly opened the box and took out two quilts while Xing'er was packing up the food box, and then immediately closed the box.

Then put the bed away, Qing Shao hurriedly asked Xing'er to hurry into the quilt, the cold is still relatively heavy at night, but don't get cold.

Xing'er excitedly took off her clothes to only a pink middle coat, and then got into the quilt, only revealing a cute round head and looking at Qing Shao.

Qing Shao also removed his coat and left the white middle coat before turning off the oil lamp and lying down in the quilt outside.

Two people have a quilt for each person, and then cover it with another layer of quilt, which is warmer.

At this point, it's time to pass.

"Sister Qingshao, are you sleepy?" Apricot asked in a low voice in the darkness.

Qing Shao answered her.

Now Qingshao doesn't have any sleepiness at all, and the things in the imperial garden today have always choked in her heart like a thorn, and she has never been able to let go, and as long as she thinks about it, her face can't help but turn red.

"Then Sister Qingshao tell me a story!" Apricot said expectantly.

Qing Shao smiled and turned his head to look at her, in fact, his face was not carefully read in the dark: "My story has been told to you......"

Qing Shao followed Yang Yueshu to the cold palace at the age of thirteen, when Xing'er was only eight years old, Qing Shao completely treated Xing'er as his own sister, and often told Xing'er some stories about the gods and monsters she knew, Xing'er listened to them with relish every time, but most of those stories were also in books, and then went to the Cold Moon Palace and had no books to read, and of course there was nothing new in Qingshao's story.

"It's okay, everything is fine......" Xing'er doesn't really like stories, she just likes Sister Qingshao's soft voice, which is really good.

"Okay, I'll tell you." Qing Shao said dotingly, and then slowly spoke, "Once upon a time, there was a ......"

The soft voice was like a breeze in the dark, and Apricot only felt that her heart seemed to be soft.

Sister Qingshao is really nice.

This is the thought in Apricot before she falls asleep.
