Chapter 23: First Sight of Your Majesty
According to the rules of the palace, on the fifteenth and sixteenth of each month, and on the night of the two full moons, the emperor must sleep in the queen's palace.
And this day is the fifteenth, and it is also the day when Wu Yunzhao officially met Xiong Yan for the first time.
After waiting for early morning and afternoon, it was finally evening.
Wang De has already passed the word, clearly informing Xiong Yan that he will be in the Lizheng Hall tonight. Xiong Yan is destined to be the first Son of Heaven to be abolished by Wu Yunzhao and trampled on the soles of his feet, so Wu Yunzhao is a little interested and curious about this "stepping stone".
However, Wu Yunzhao didn't have the intention of "serving" the nest at all, and arranged for Ziyan to wait in the side hall early, ready to serve him in bed.
Listen to Xiaoshun's communication: "Your Majesty has arrived." Wu Yunzhao brushed his gorgeous robe, walked to the palace gate, bowed down, and said, "Welcome Your Majesty." ”
Before the person arrives, the smell of wine arrives first.
Only to hear a lazy, muddy voice say, "Get up." ”
Wu Yunzhao said: "Your Majesty Xie." The footsteps were slightly sideways, making way for Xiong Yan, and he looked secretly.
Xiong Yan is not bad-looking, with sparse eyebrows and white skin, he is handsome, and his figure is slightly thin, but with dark green eyes and a fluttering yellow robe, no matter how you look at it, he is an overindulgent gentleman.
Wu Yunzhao saw Xiong Yan's footsteps floating again, the whole person was crooked, and his spirit was not good, so he said in his heart: "Such an emperor, even if he is slaughtered, it is not too much, and it is also a blessing for all the people to die early." Suppressing the disgust in his heart, he sat down and accompanied Xiong Yan to dinner.
Xiong Yan didn't say a word, Wu Yunzhao was too lazy to deal with it, he was silent, and only the sound of dishes and chopsticks was heard in the room.
Wang De looked anxiously on the side, and said in his heart: "The queen mother is still too face-saving, Your Majesty finally came to visit, but give a smile, and offend people again, isn't it in vain to ask for warmth a few days ago?" Standing behind Xiong Yan, he kept glancing at Wu Yunzhao. Wang De only said that the queen wanted to please Xiong Yan in her heart, but with the identity of everyone's lady and the master of the harem, she couldn't do it in person.
Wu Yunzhao said in his heart: "The old lady still has to endure the unhappiness for a while, and when the power is in hand, she slowly dislikes the little emperor." He took a deep breath, smiled on his face, and said: "Delicacies need good wine, and the concubines salute Your Majesty with a glass." Raise your glass.
Xiong Yan lost interest when he saw Wang Ruiyao's elegant makeup, and only with the slight goodwill accumulated in recent days endured to have dinner with Wang Ruiyao. However, after eating for a long time, relatively speechless, Xiong Yan became more and more impatient, and was considering whether to go to other palaces to have fun, seeing that Wang Ruiyao actually took the initiative to toast, he was surprised, glanced at the dignified queen, nodded, picked up the wine glass and shook it, raised his head and drank it, and saw that the queen also drank it all, and actually looked a little bold, suddenly found it interesting, and said with a smile: "The queen's alcohol consumption is getting better, have you practiced secretly?" Here, have another drink. ”
Wang De hurriedly filled the two of them.
Wu Yunzhao said in his heart: "If you really want to fight, the old lady can drink you down." But considering that Wang Ruiyao's body is being used now, I don't know how deep and shallow Wang Ruiyao is, so I don't dare to drink more, for fear of inattentively provoking Xiong Yan's interest, after drinking the second cup, I pretended to be drunk and stroked the corners of my forehead.
Xiong Yan saw that "Wang Ruiyao's" face was slightly red, and his heart moved, and he said in his heart: "It's not bad to change the taste occasionally." He coughed slightly.
Wang De understood, was happy in his heart, and beckoned the palace people to leave.
Wu Yunzhao was slightly shocked in his heart: "What did the old lady do?" "Where did she think that Wang Ruiyao is too strong to drink, and she will have a fever when she gets contaminated with alcohol. Wang Ruiyao is beautiful, plain and elegant, and after adding red glow to her face, she has a bit of a shy taste, but she has a little attraction to Xiong Yan.
Seeing Xiong Yan's pair of eyeballs slipping down on his body, Wu Yunzhao was angry in his heart, his hand under his sleeve robe clenched into a fist, and repeatedly warned himself that the person in front of him was the emperor, and he couldn't move him, so he stood up, walked in front of Xiong Yan, and said: "The concubine knows that she is dull and does not like your majesty, and I hope that your majesty will forgive her sins." With that, he clapped his hands.
Xiong Yan was just about to reach out to help the person up, wanting to taste the fragrance, when he saw a beautiful woman walk out, her slightly raised arm was lowered again, and her eyes fell directly on the woman.
The woman stepped forward and saluted: "The concubines see Your Majesty and the Queen's Mother." ”
Xiong Yan rubbed his eyes, felt that the voice of the woman in front of him was familiar, and her face seemed familiar, and asked, "Are you Ziyan?" ”
The woman said, "Exactly." ”
Xiong Yanqi said: "Why have you changed?" ”
Ziyan said: "Thanks to the queen mother." ”
Xiong Yan was even more curious, and asked, "What does it have to do with the queen?" He looked at Wu Yunzhao and said, "When will the queen change her face?" ”
Wu Yunzhao was anxious to get out, and said: "Your Majesty, let Yan Cairen tell you, the concubine didn't dare to disturb His Majesty Yaxing, so she retired first." "I walked into the inner room, and I was gone.
Seeing Wu Yunzhao leaving, Ziyan took Xiong Yan's hand, rubbed it slowly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the queen mother is afraid of upsetting Your Majesty, so she specially ordered her concubines to serve Your Majesty and make Your Majesty happy. With a twist of his body, he approached Xiong Yan, his eyes wandered, and he asked, "Your Majesty, do you say, is it good-looking?" ”
