At this time, the emperor had already gone to the Imperial Palace.

Today, it is necessary to discuss the specific affairs of the Liaodong garrison with the ministers, and the task is relatively heavy. After the dispersal of the dynasty, the emperor went to the Wenhua Hall to continue to discuss with the important ministers, and the lunch was settled there until dark, and then returned to the Longxi Pavilion.

But to say that he has spent most of his days in the Wenhua Hall is not quite accurate. After lunch, there was a half-hour routine lunch break, and the emperor did not have the habit of taking a lunch break, so he took advantage of this time to go to the imperial prison.

The only entourage of Wang Zhida, the chief manager, thought that if the two generals of the imperial prison knew that it was he who woke up and provoked the emperor to move the imperial prison, they would definitely come to blackmail him for a meal of wine afterwards.

followed the emperor into the main hall room, and looked at the terrifying look of the two kneeling on the ground who were about to fall out of their eyes, Wang Zhi felt extremely funny.

"Get up." The emperor gave a faint order, and paced a few steps around the room as if he were wandering.

Wang Zhi instead of affirming his intentions: "The emperor wants to see the jewelry that the queen's master is going to give to several nobles, so go and take it out." ”

The two always responded to each other, and quickly took two large pineapple boxes about two feet long and more than one foot wide, opened the lid and put them on the table of the big eight immortals and presented them to the emperor.

In the end, it is a royal thing from the silver bureau, although it is only a refurbished old thing, it is still brilliant and eye-catching, and if there are two boxes of things in the house at night, only the smallest candle will be full of brilliance.

The emperor had no interest in these yellow and white things, and at first glance he felt that they were all the same, and he could not distinguish between good and bad, until his eyes fell on a small flat box with a two-inch square and inconspicuous lotus-patterned carved lacquer. He reached out to fetch it, opened the lid of the box, and his gaze, which had been cold, finally had some brilliance.

Most of the jade used as jewelry is white jade and jade, and purple jade like this is very rare. A simple purple jade bracelet lying quietly on the navy blue velvet satin in the flat box, the jade is transparent and warm, purple and white are mixed, as if rouge and cyan are dripping into the clear water, half mixed and half divided, just like containing a whole dark lilac Qiankun world in it, so beautiful that it is sultry.

With this purple jade bracelet, the rest of the gold and silver jewelry suddenly lost their brilliance and were compared to the vulgar. The emperor rubbed it lightly with his fingers, closed the lid of the box, and saw a stack of small Nanmu jewelry boxes stacked on the side, so he took one over, put the flat box with the jade bracelet in it, and picked a few hairpin rings and the like, covered the box, turned around and left.

"Hey......" One of the bosses was stunned and tried to dissuade him, and the other hurriedly pulled his sleeve and gave him a crazy look.

The emperor didn't hear it at all, and quickly strode out after stepping out of the threshold, and Wang Zhi followed. The latter always gritted his teeth and slapped the previous one on the back: "What does the Lord want to take, what do you want him to do?" ”

"It's not...... You don't know, I said before that these things were all taken to the three masters of Yonghe Palace, and the queen master did not keep them. Now, the emperor has taken the bracelet, where can I get another one for Master Ning? ”

The boss raised his eyes: "You...... How did you do such a ridiculous thing? ”

"I don't think it's the best for the master to look like him alone in the harem, maybe he can be favored in the future, so he ......"

"You're all stupid! In terms of favor, who is better than the one who is on the errand of Longxi Pavilion, and where is Master Ning...... Hey, in this way, it's not a matter for you to offend Master Ning, just tell the truth when you go back, the bracelet asked the emperor to take it to reward others, and Master Ning can't hold a grudge against you. ”

"Hey, you have a point......

After the time of the lamp, the eunuch came to the imperial study of Longxi Pavilion to set up dinner. Usually there is no need for Qiwen to accompany her at this time, but today she made an exception, as soon as the emperor came back, he sent someone to call her from the duty room.

The room was filled with the aroma of food, and the eunuch took out plates of dishes from the red lacquer box and placed them on a round table with a red wood carved peony relief in the center of the room, and the emperor sat on a tableside stool and waited.

Qiwen came in and saluted, and soon noticed a small carved nanmu box on the tea table of the Luohan chair under the south window. She knew every detail of the room, and had come in a moment earlier to prepare the tea set, which was still empty. This small box appeared a little weird, and Qiwen couldn't help but look at it twice.

The emperor glanced at the box and wrote lightly: "That's for you, don't forget to bring it when you are on duty." ”

Qiwen was very surprised, blinked her eyes and said: "The slave has no merit and no virtue, how could the master suddenly think of the award?" ”

"It's not a reward, it's a gift." The emperor emphasized, with a slight smile on his lips, "I ate a meal from you yesterday, and I will compensate you for a meal today, and if I give you this little thing, it will be regarded as a remittance of yesterday's meal money." ”

It was rare for him to tell a joke, but Qiwen didn't laugh when she heard it, she was stunned, and then she put on a little smile and fell to the ground: "The slave and maid have thanked the master for the reward first." ”

There seems nothing wrong with this reaction on the surface, it is decent, but it is not the reaction of the person who ate the pot with him yesterday. Even if there were other eunuchs present next to her, she shouldn't be so polite.

The emperor's eyebrows trembled, and a wisp of doubt rose in his heart. Qian Yuanhe stayed in Longxi Pavilion today, and he had already reported to him, and he hadn't seen anyone talk to her alone during the day, so if she already knew, she could only know it on the way over in the morning, could it ...... How fast could it be?

Seeing that the meal was already arranged, he ordered: "Qiwen will stay alone to serve the meal, and the rest will go down." ”

The lieutenants quietly withdrew, and soon only the two of them were left in the room, Qiwen had watched Qian Yuanhe serve the meal a few times, and she was not unfamiliar with it, so she cleaned her hands neatly and came over to add food and vegetables for him.

The emperor looked at her and said, "At this time, there are no outsiders, so let's sit down and eat." ”

Qiwen presented the dishes and chopsticks to him and said with a smile: "You came back late today, and the slave maid has already eaten, so I can only hope that you will enjoy the meal again next time." ”

The emperor took the dishes and chopsticks and put them in his hand, squinting slightly: "You haven't eaten a few bites for lunch, and you haven't eaten dinner at all." Bullying the king is a capital crime. ”

Her eyes darkened a little, and her smile became more reluctant: "You really know everything, Dongchang and Lord Jinyiwei should really come to worship you as a teacher." The slave and maid ate too much last night, and today they are guilty of overeating, so they don't want to eat. Please also forgive your sins. ”

The emperor was sure now, and Ben thought about informing her later, asking her to pay attention to see if any of Yuan Ying's subordinates would contact her, but he didn't expect Yuan Ying's actions to be at least a day earlier than he expected.

The close connection between Dongchang and Yuan Ying can be seen from this, and it is enough to see that Yuan Ying did bet on her and tried his best to win her.

He knew the whole thing, so he wasn't nervous, but looked at her angrily, a little joking: This girl even dares to criticize the government in front of me, I don't know if she dares to question me about this matter?

He decided to give it a try, but he didn't believe her mind about him, and he had that box of treasures in his hand, if she really lost her temper, he explained the reason again, and coaxed him with that bracelet, and he would be fine.

"The outsiders are gone. Let's be honest, why are things unhappy? After eating a little of his meal, he asked lightly.

Qiwen's face changed slightly, is it so obvious? Even King Tan can barely hide the drama he plays, but he can't hide it? Fang just answered these few words, she still thought that she covered herself up well, and felt that she had calmed down her grievances, and she didn't want to vent to him at all, even so, she was still seen through by him at a glance? It turned out that he had fallen so deep unconsciously, and he had become a fool in front of him.

She smiled lightly: "Thank you for your care, I am not unhappy." You've got a reward, and it's too late for me to laugh. ”

The more complete the words, the more obvious the piercing alienation becomes. She is no longer in the mood to be open and honest with him, he didn't believe the truth yesterday, so what's the point of talking about it today? The more you tell the truth, the more you look like a fool. She already felt that she was so stupid that she couldn't be stupid anymore.

She didn't say anything, she just blindly got angry, and the emperor was helpless, and he didn't know where to start. He has a lot of strengths, which can be regarded as both civil and military, but it never includes dealing with girls. She just guarded a mussel shell mouth and refused to say, he knew what was going on, and he didn't know how to start this by himself.

In the end, it's because I'm using her, even if I make it clear, it doesn't seem to make so much sense, and I can't blame others for being angry. Should I take her into my arms and coax her? He moved his fingers, but he couldn't get this hand down.

Qiwen saw a blue and white amphora on the table, so she smiled and asked, "You actually want to drink today?" ”

I have seen him eat many times these days, but I have never seen him drink, and I thought that a person like him who cherished his brain power should not drink at all.

The emperor does rarely drink, today is because he wants to eat with her, so he asked for this pot of wine, and she mentioned it, just had a reason, and said with a smile: "This wine is for you to drink, I heard that this wine is made of fruit, the entrance is sweet, not spicy, but very stamina, after drinking it unconsciously on the head, the most can force the mouth to speak the truth." You're not being honest at this time, and you should drink more. ”

It was a vaguely ambiguous joke, but it was inadvertently poking Qiwen's wound.

She picked up the flask and was about to pour it into the cup, when she heard this, her face changed dramatically.

At the end of the day, I have to plan well, since it's a game controlled by the system, why can't I treat him as an NPC or a humanoid monster? If you want to live and live for a long time, you can't be too sober, take it too seriously, and leave a step for everything.

Unexpectedly, the reason used to suppress resentment was so fragile that it would collapse at the touch of a button. I'm really so stupid, I'm so dead, I can't even die if I don't want to!

"That's right, you should have used such a method to directly extract a confession, how dare the slave disobey? Why use what East Factory? After Qiwen finished sneering, she took off the lid of the wine jug, tilted her neck and poured the wine into her mouth with a few sips.

The emperor was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and grabbed the wine jug, but when he saw that there was not much wine left in the jug, he couldn't help but get annoyed, and paused the wine jug and said, "How can you be so arrogant!" It's just a joke, why would it make you angry like this! ”

"Is it a joke, you know...... I know just as well. Qiwen already has a big tongue, and the entrance of the fruit wine is indeed not spicy, but these few mouthfuls are poured too quickly, and a burning heat quickly spreads in the abdomen, and the eight veins of the Qi Sutra are followed by fever, and the top of the head is also quickly dizzy, and this drunkenness is overwhelming.

She closed her eyes and pressed her temples for a moment, vaguely felt that the emperor came to reach out to help her, and quickly dodged to the side, and held the edge of the table by herself, feeling that it was really difficult to stand firmly, so she simply held on to the edge of the table and knelt down slowly: "The master forgives the sin, the slave and maid still kneel and reply, which is like a passing hall." ”

The emperor was so sad that he pulled her arm and said loudly, "Why do you have to make things so embarrassing? I've made it clear, do you think I'm trying to judge you? ”

Seeing that she couldn't stand at all, he put his hands under her armpits like holding a child, lifted her up, and put her on the Luohan chair beside him.

As if she was afraid of being touched by his hand, Qiwen shrank back, hid in the inner corner of the Luohan chair, hugged her knees tightly, shrunk into a ball, and said half-mourningly, half-threateningly: "Don't ...... Don't touch me, or I'll ...... I will ask the emperor to punish you for your sins and raid your house! ”

This began to be confused and drunk, and the emperor didn't know whether to be angry or funny, how did things end up here? If I tell her directly, I'm afraid she won't have the brains to understand.

Looking at her terrified appearance, it was as if he was a robber leader who wanted to rob sex. When he helped her just now, he was in a hurry, and he crossed the palm edge of her armpit and touched a place that should not be touched, and he felt soft and elastic as clearly as two layers of clothing, and he couldn't help but wonder: it turned out that the girl's place felt like that...... Seeing her like this again, the emperor's face couldn't help but feel feverish.

He patiently sat down on the edge of the Arhat's chair and tried to take her hand. Qiwen tried her best to avoid it as if a catastrophe was coming, and she almost jumped up and ran away. The emperor frowned and asked, "Are you so drunk that you can't even recognize who I am?" ”

Qiwen grabbed the handrail of the carving with both hands and smiled coldly at him: "What about you?" It is because of you that I dare not get close to you the most. I'm here to be arranged by the queen's mother, and I've been in peace since I came, I don't dare to say a word, I haven't looked at you, even so, I have to be said by those little palace maids to be cheap, upside down, and the best thing to listen to is also a climbing branch. How can I afford it for them to know that you have come to me like this? ”

The emperor was stunned when he heard this: "You mean, they are gossiping about you?" ”

He really didn't think about it here, and felt that she always avoided suspicion and didn't dare to show a little flattery to him, she was petty and multi-minded, how could she think that she still suffered such grievances? Concubine Ning is jealous of pantothenic acid, those palace maids are just subordinates, how dare they arrange her?

"What do you think?" Qiwen was dizzy, no matter how patient she was in the past, listening to the cynicism of those people every day, she also precipitated grievances in her heart, and she was drunk and confused at this time, so she simply didn't care if she could say it or not, she told him all the time, "Do you know how much I looked down on those girls who were bent on climbing the male master's bed?" But now I am regarded by them as the same person, how can I be embarrassed! You just let me be a palace maid, you don't have to give me anything, you don't have to eat with me, you don't have to be close to me, anyway, you don't even believe what I say, why bother to let me bear this false name! ”

The emperor couldn't listen anymore: "Where do I not believe you?" I asked Dongchang to check on you, it was intentional, to see how much connection Yuan Ying has with Dongchang, and to see how Yuan Ying will react to you! Although...... Although I just said yesterday that I don't want you to intervene in the government, and then I will use you to do this, it is unreasonable. But you're not going to lose the slightest trust in me for this, are you? ”

"What I don't believe you? And you still ...... It's also a rake! Qiwen was even more aggrieved, and actually cried again, "Why don't I even do it as a palace maid, it's better to die directly!" ”

The Emperor had nothing to do—and sure enough, it was too late to speak, and the little drunkard couldn't understand.

Qiwen came from the sadness, covering her face and crying: "I poured out my heart and lungs for you, you don't believe it, so why don't you come and ask me face to face, ...... We want to use the East Factory! Don't you know that you are the only one in this world to rely on, and if you don't believe me, how can I be contained? If you don't even believe my words, why should you treat me well in the first place and provoke me to be attracted to you? If you don't even believe what I say, why do you pretend to pity me and love me? Wouldn't it be simple to let me die in the Tan Wangfu as early as that morning? ”

The emperor's heart ached, recalling that he didn't take this seriously just now, and felt that he made it clear, took a bracelet and coaxed her to pass, but he didn't think about it, she had no way out, and her heart was all on him, how helpless she was, and then he was suspicious, isn't it a huge blow? How can you blame her for being cautious and blaming her for making a fuss? How can I always be so careless!

He didn't care about her struggles anymore, grabbed her wrist fiercely, pulled her into his arms and hugged her: "It's me who is wrong, I keep saying that I don't want you to touch those things, but I still want to use you, it's my honey-bellied sword, it's me who can't stand you." ”

With his cold and hard nature, this is almost the limit of the sweet words he can spit out, but after seeing Qiwen hear it, he only looked up with tears in his eyes and asked, "Are you admitting your mistake?" ”

The emperor was ridiculous again, and he made up his mind for a long time to hug her, but she didn't react to this move, and only focused on who was right and who was wrong, and this good intention seemed to be in vain. In desperation, he raised his hand and combed her forehead hair, and said gently: "That's right, I admit my mistake, you may forgive me?" ”
