Chapter 35 Concealing the Facts, but Not Intentionally Self-Defeating
As night fell, Qing Cang came much earlier today than usual, and after coming to the cabinet and sitting down, Qin Yuan asked with concern, "Is the emperor available for dinner?" Qing Cang nodded faintly, "I've used it in the Anshen Temple, look at what I brought"
Then he asked Zhou Ruiqiang to bring it in and put it on the table, it turned out to be a plate of red hawthorn candied fruit, and the sweet and sour fragrance instantly filled the air, which made people quite appetizing when they looked at it.
However, Qin Yuan's face was stiff at the moment, because Imperial Doctor Zhu had explained that hawthorn was inedible.
Qing Cang continued to smile and said, "This is a red fruit from the southwest, it is not the same as the hawthorn we have here, I heard that you have lost your appetite recently, so I specially brought this, so try it." ”
Qin Yuan's face froze, and she smiled unnaturally faintly, "Thank you for your grace, it's just that the concubine is a little full tonight, and she doesn't want to eat it yet." ”
"This red fruit has an appetizing effect, and the taste is sweet and sour and smooth, don't you like to eat sour the most?"
"The concubine really doesn't want to eat it now, or let it go first, and the concubine will eat it tomorrow."
Qing Cang couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied in his heart, you want to know that it is a great honor for you to miss you as the king of a country, and if you repeatedly refuse, it is called ignorance, but Qing Cang just smiled kindly, "Okay, if you don't want to eat, don't eat." ”
Qing Cang paused again and said, "Recently, the Southeast Turks, your eldest brother is guarding the southeast border pass and is sending troops to resist. ", the Xue family has a total of five sons, four of whom guard the border pass, and it is Qin Yuan's own brother who guards the southeast border pass, so Qin Yuan immediately came to the spirit after hearing it." Why is the southeast Turkic again? Didn't you already surrender last time? ”
Qing Cang frowned, "The southeast is indeed cunning, secretly raising 100,000 soldiers and horses, and also finding an extremely smart military advisor, if I remember correctly, it is the eldest brother who guards the southeast, right?" ”
Qin Yuan nodded, and couldn't help but be a little worried, "It's the eldest brother of the concubine, can the 100,000 army resist it?" Qing Cang smiled lightly and said, "Your eldest brother has 80,000 in his hands, and I have ordered the reserve army to go to help, and the men of the Xue Mansion are the most outstanding among your eldest brothers, so you can rest assured." ”
"Hey...... I don't know what year or month this fight will end. ”
Qing Cang stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Qin Yuan's willow waist, and whispered in his ear, "Yuan'er don't worry, I'm here," Qin Yuan was just about to say something, her lips were sealed by Qing Cang, and the sudden kiss made Qin Yuan a little overwhelmed for a while, Qing Cang kissed Qin Yuan's lips warmly, and her tongue reached into Qin Yuan's mouth, sucking every inch of Qin Yuan, and her tongue was entangled, expressing a trace of caress and infinite ambiguity.
The kiss became more and more hot, more and more urgent, Qing Cang reached out to touch Qin Yuan's twin peaks, and the other was ready to untie Qin Yuan's belt, Qin Yuan knew what Qing Cang was going to do next, and suddenly struggled to break free, pushing Qing Cang away, Qing Cang was startled by Qin Yuan's resistance, and looked at her a little woodenly.
Qin Yuan panted nervously, stroked her clothes, and pretended to be calm, "Your Majesty, the concubine has been inconvenient these days, and she can't serve the emperor to sleep." Qing Cang's eyes suddenly released a trace of strangeness, if this is the case, there is no need to be so nervous, right? The corners of his mouth are not curled, "Okay, then I don't force it." ”
At this time, Zhou Ruiqing walked in, looked at Qin Yuan, and said, "Your Majesty, Qiao Guiren is unwell and is clamoring to see you." Qing Cang's face was unmoved, "Did you call the imperial doctor?" ”
"The Imperial Doctor has arrived, saying that there is nothing serious."
Qin Yuan hurriedly interjected at this time, "The emperor should go, Qiao Guiren is pregnant, if he doesn't go, won't it chill his heart." ”
Qing Cang looked at Qin Yuan for a few seconds, he didn't know if he was wrong, and the second that flashed in Qin Yuan's eyes actually showed a trace of happiness.
Qing Cang said tentatively, "Let Qiao Guiren have a good rest, I'm too lazy to leave." Qin Yuan smiled, it was still Chen Jing who entered the water, "The emperor should go and have a look, after all, there is a pregnant person." ”
Qing Cang's heart was slightly cold for a moment, without saying a word, he got up and walked out of Jinhua Palace, on the way to Chengfu Palace, Qing Cang was a little depressed in his heart, Qin Yuan's actions tonight made Qing Cang feel that he was alienating her, what happened to Qin Yuan, who was so good?
When he arrived at the Chengfu Palace, if Qiao Guiren was lying on the bed weakly, Qing Cang walked over and grabbed Qiao Guiren's hand with a little worry, "What's wrong with Concubine Ai?" ”
Qiao Guiren smiled reluctantly, "Concubine Ji is stupid, I don't know that I can't eat too much lychee when I am pregnant, and eating too much will cause physical discomfort." ”
"How can you be so careless."
"The emperor loves and pities the concubine, and when he rewarded the concubine with lychees, the concubine ate a lot of greedy mouths."
"You are in a special body now, you must pay attention to your food, you make me feel distressed like this?"
Qiao Guiren smiled sweetly, "As long as the emperor accompanies her, the concubine will feel uncomfortable." Qing Cang smiled tenderly, "It's late at night, go to sleep, I'll accompany you." Qiao Guiren smiled happily and nodded slightly.
At this time, Qiao Guiren's personal attendant walked in at this time and said, "Master, there is not much charcoal fire, it is only enough for tonight." ”
Although it is already spring, it is still cold at night, Qiao Guiren is pregnant and is most afraid of the cold, so he still has to light some stoves at night, Qing Cang was puzzled at this time, "Why don't you go to the Internal Affairs Office to ask for some?" ”
The palace maid said, "This evening, the Internal Affairs Office was supposed to send it, but halfway was intercepted by Aunt Lan, the palace maid of Hui Guifei, saying that Hui Guifei was also afraid of the cold, and she didn't want to go too far, so the Internal Affairs Office sent it over, and waited until the Internal Affairs Office re-sent the charcoal, the quality was particularly inferior, and the slave maid only counted a few words, and the Internal Affairs Office actually pulled the charcoal away, saying that it was too late, and it would be sent over tomorrow." ”
Qing Cang said with a little anger, "How can this be true! Why don't you show the queen? The palace maid said aggrievedly at this moment, "Aunt Lan is now a fifth-grade female official, and the Internal Affairs Office is naturally stammering, how dare a little palace maid offend." ”
In fact, in the evening, the Internal Affairs Office did want to send a car of charcoal to the Chengfu Palace, and happened to meet Aunt Lan halfway, and learned that Aunt Lan was also going to the Internal Affairs Office to get some charcoal, and the Internal Affairs Office sent the charcoal on the car to Aunt Lan, and made a favor, but Qiao Guiren was pregnant with Liujia, and the Internal Affairs Office naturally did not dare to offend, and ordered someone to go back to the Internal Affairs Office to make up a car over, and when it was late in the Chengfu Palace, Qiao Guiren was angry for a while, so he retreated back on the grounds that the quality of the charcoal was too inferior, but he did not expect to be said to be Qin Yuan's by the palace maid in front of him.
Qing Cang was extremely unhappy when he heard this, Qiao Guiren saw Qing Cang's displeasure, the corners of his mouth rose in satisfaction, and he pretended to be angry and said, "You girl, you have no mouth to hide, how can you judge right and wrong?" Go down and get ten boards. The palace maid should go down and retreat very aggrieved, as for whether she received the board, who knows what to do?
Qing Cang's face was gloomy, he knew that Qiao Guiren was making a show for him, and he had seen a lot of dramas in the harem to compete for favor, and he didn't believe that Qin Yuan would not be so dull.
Qiao Guiren saw that Qing Cang was unhappy, and said lightly, "The emperor doesn't have to be angry, Concubine Ji believes that Concubine Hui must be in a hurry, so she did this." ”
Qing Cang slowed down and said, "I will condemn the internal affairs government tomorrow and give you this breath." Seeing that Qing Cang did not condemn Yu Qinyuan, Qiao Guiren naturally felt a little disappointed, and then said softly, "Concubine Ji feels that after Concubine Ziru died, Concubine Hui Gui seemed to have changed as if she had changed a person, and she also heard that she had a private correspondence with General Xue, hey, no wonder, her relatives went, and she was naturally sad." ”
Qin Yuan did pass a letter with General Xue, but she only talked about some family matters, not anything else, and Qiao Guiren naturally didn't have the ability to learn about this kind of news, and it was revealed to her by Concubine Wan.
Qing Cang's face sank in an instant, and he couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart.
