Chapter 7: The Love of Kings
As Tang Ying's beauty increased day by day, the emperor's rewards became more and more frequent. In the name of Wu Zhaoyi, in fact, there was an extra copy for her.
What fresh fruits, Fanbang tributes, cloth jewelry...... More than the average concubine rewards. However, taking into account Tang Ying's age, he has never been clear, but more and more people are staying in Zhaoqing Palace, although Wu Zhaoyi can't sleep. This kind of behavior made Concubine Xiao Shufei and other concubines hate it so much.
On the evening of early July, Tang Ying wrote to Li Chunfeng to inquire about the appointment of Zhongyuan this year. On the night when the emperor stayed, she slept in the side hall on the side of Wu Mei's dormitory, but Concubine Xiao Shu was still there, so she had to guard against it. As soon as she let go of Xiao Meng that day, she walked lightly towards her room, and when she reached the door, she was suddenly hugged by a big hand stretched out in the dark.
Her first reaction was that there were monsters, so she subconsciously raised a white fire. When she could tell that it was a real person with flesh and blood from the touch, the thought of "It's Li Chunfeng" quickly flashed in her heart, thus extinguishing the anger in her chest. However, she immediately denied her idea, because Li Chunfeng would not easily enter the palace, let alone break in when he was looking for the emperor to stay overnight, not to mention that Xiao Meng had just flown away, and he didn't have a reason to come so soon.
The only man who can come and go freely is ......
As soon as she came up with an answer, she was beaten and picked up. The gentle voice was lowered and rippled in her ears, but her tone was full of worry, "Why is your body so hot?" Is it sick? β
Sure enough, it's the emperor!
Although Tang Ying knew that it was Li Zhi, he still panicked in his heart. It was not difficult to guess what he had come to his house in the middle of the night for. However, now that he thinks he is sick, it is better to do it. Tang Ying pretended to wilt and nodded, shrunk into his arms, and carried him to the bed.
Li Zhi didn't light a candle, but looked at her again and again by the moonlight sprinkled on the bed, and said with anxiety: "You bear with it first, and I will recruit someone to call the imperial doctor." β
Tang Ying's body fever was completely the effect of the white fire, how could he let him call the imperial doctor. So he hurriedly grabbed his cuffs, "No." It's okay, I always do it at night. Don't call people, wake up the mother again. β
He saw that Tang Ying was in good spirits and spoke clearly, his brows stretched slightly, "It's rare that you are still worried about her, what a caring child." β
The situation is somewhat awkward. Tang Ying was lying flat on the bed in a nightdress tied to his chest, and the emperor was also sitting on the edge of the bed in his not so neat pajamas. His hand loosened and squeezed her palm, sometimes looking up at the moonlight outside the window, sometimes looking at her.
βbixiaγ Go back and rest. Tang Ying suggested softly. The emperor smiled, "You are still sick, how can I walk away." Later, if you have a repetition, I will still call the Imperial Doctor. β
There is some truth to that. Tang Ying asked, "Why is the emperor outside my door?" β
He lowered his head again and smoothed the folds of his clothes on his legs, "I can't sleep, I want to walk." Tang Ying found that he always had this little action whenever he felt uncomfortable.
"Can't sleep? What happened? Tang Ying sat up with his body propped up, looking like he was going to have a long talk with him. He hurriedly pressed Tang Ying's shoulder, "You are not good, it's better to lie down, it's more comfortable to lie down." He said that he gave Tang Ying a pulse and asked, "Do you feel hot or cold?" β
Tang Ying blinked and replied, "Hot." β
His face softened and he laughed, "It's okay, it should be heat stroke." As he spoke, he took the basin on the cabinet and put a handkerchief on Tang Ying's forehead, "Sleep." It's good to wake up. β
His face looked unusually soft in the clear light of the moonlight, and his shoulder-length hair hung down on his chest, much like Li Chunfeng used to coax her to sleep. But his expression was completely different from Li Chunfeng, he was looking at her with the tenderness of a woman. The watery waves of her eyes flowed over her face, her neck, her newly developed breasts and waist......
Being looked at by him like this, Tang Ying didn't dare to sleep anymore. So he started talking, "You haven't answered the shadow yet, why can't you sleep?" β
Li Zhi smiled bitterly and pinched his eyebrows, "You don't understand the affairs of the country." Tang Ying pretended to be naΓ―ve and replied: "But my cousin Niangniang understands, when the day comes, just let her talk to Bixia." β
Li Zhi brushed her delicate face with pity with his fingertips, and his voice couldn't be dissolved, "But she is pregnant with a child, and there are some things ......that can't be done."
Ah, it's finally here?! Tang Ying's heart tightened, and just as he wanted to find something else to say, he suddenly leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips. A slow and soft kiss, the tip of his tongue touched her lips at one point, but he didn't pry her mouth open.
He looked up, the light in his eyes mesmerizing. The other seemed to be drunk too, and asked in a whisper, "Shadow, do you like it?" β
Tang Ying's chest rose and fell violently, most of them were panicked, and half of them were excited. It is undeniable that he is a son of heaven, and he is such a young, handsome, and gentle person, and his hardware conditions are not much higher than Li Chunfeng.
But her relationship with Li Chunfeng has experienced life and death, and she has also experienced dullness. It's like a mark engraved on the heart, if you don't touch it, it's enough, and when you touch it, it will swell all over your body. It is the embrace under the waterfall, the teaching during the practice; It was the hand that was held when writing, and it was the mantra that was recited when the demon was removed; It was more than two years and 600 nights, coaxing her to sleep gently...... In Xishan, on Suzaku Street, on the roof of the Imperial Palace, and in Pingkangfang, their past is written all over Chang'an bit by bit!
Although, since she entered the palace, the number of meetings has decreased. But these are like dusty pearls, and a little wiping will release a dazzling brilliance.
At this time, little by little memories flowed down the corners of her eyes, she actually forgot about Li Zhi's existence, and couldn't suppress her thoughts of Li Chunfeng.
Seeing this, how could Li Zhi know that she had been in love with someone else for many years at such a young age? I just thought I had abrupt her, so I hurriedly hugged her and whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm too anxious." I should wait for you to grow up...... Me, I'm just too annoyed, it shouldn't be like this, don't cry. "He's so panicked that he can't even use the self-proclaimed name of "I".
Tang Ying came back to his senses and felt the weight in his chest, but felt that he could understand him. In modern times, I complained about working overtime until ten o'clock. Li Zhi is the emperor, and he shoulders the entire Tang Dynasty, so of course the pressure is even greater. When she doesn't want to work, she can still pick and choose. As the emperor, can Li Zhi pick a son?
Thinking, the little hand rested lightly on his shoulder.
"Are you afraid of me?" He looked up and stared at her, "People are smiling when they know to serve!"
Tang Ying thought for a while and replied seriously: "I'm not afraid of you, I'm afraid of myself in the future." β
Li Zhi was a little surprised, why would an eleven-year-old girl say such a thing?
Tang Ying gave him an analysis, "After all, the emperor will not belong to me alone, then in the future, in the long wait, as my face is gone, I will either be resentful and intrigue in order to get more, or I will live in self-pity and sorrow all day long." Is this what you want to see? β
