Chapter 316: Staying in Kunning Palace
Half a month after the concubine was sealed, the Kunning Palace was repaired, and Yan Shu sent someone to invite Bai Shao, wanting her to go over in advance to get used to some days.
Bai Shaoyuan refused, but Ruan said that she had better go over a few days first, and the words all hinted that she should hurry up Yan Shu, and not let those concubines take advantage of her absence to dig away the emperor's heart, and then she would have a hard time.
Bai Shao couldn't help but smile bitterly, but she still had no choice but to respond.
She knew that Ruan's intentions were kind, but she also felt sorry for her, afraid that she would be left out in the cold in the future.
But her heart just couldn't accept it.
However, for the sake of the Gu family, she still packed her clothes and entered the palace with Hanlian and Hexiang.
Because it is the main palace, although it has not yet gone through the canonization ceremony, and it has not yet been on the royal jade butterfly, but after all, the holy decree has been issued, as long as the Gu family does not commit treason, it is already a sure thing that Bai Peony is the queen mother of Dayan, so unlike the side door where other concubines walked, Bai Peony was carried in from the main gate of the imperial city by the eight sedan chairs.
In order to give her strong morale, Ruan specially selected eight maids from the Zhenguo Mansion to accompany Bai Shao's sedan chair on both sides, although she did not wear palace clothes, but still added a lot of momentum to Bai Shaoping.
When the soft sedan stopped in Qianyuan Palace, Han Lian and Hexiang took two steps forward and helped Bai Shao out of the sedan chair.
Bai Shao straightened his back and glanced at the plaque of the Qianyuan Palace with some complicated looks.
A few months ago, there had been silence here, with the corpses of at least thirty people lying inside and outside the temple.
But in the blink of an eye, this place has regained its vitality, although the palace people who come and go have changed, and the person standing inside has also changed.
"Niangniang, let's go and see Your Majesty first." Han Lian whispered in Bai Shao's ear, interrupting her memories.
"Hmm." Bai Shao nodded, took small palace steps, straightened his spine, and entered the Qianyuan Palace with an expressionless face.
Because of the alternation of the old and new emperors, many previous things need to be reorganized, and new things are happening in a steady stream, so Yan Shu is busy during this time, and the rest every day is only three or four hours, and now he is sleepy with a brush.
But when he saw Bai Shao, he couldn't help but feel refreshed, put down the brush in his hand, and strode towards Bai Shao.
Originally, according to Yan Shu's habit, he should have given her a sassy smile and a big hug immediately.
But just when the corners of his mouth just rose, he suddenly remembered that this was the Qianyuan Palace, and there were dozens of palace maids and eunuchs coming and going, and as an emperor, how could he show such a stubborn appearance.
Thinking so, he coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "You all stand down, I have something to say to the queen." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone retreated, and Huang Gonggong, who left last, did not forget to close the door for the two.
At this time, Yan Shu dared to laugh presumptuously, and took Bai Shao into his arms.
He lowered his head and sniffed deeply at her neck, smelling the fragrance that belonged to her, and the heart that had been swaying in his chest seemed to return to the same place, warm and thick.
"Little Shao'er, you're here, don't you want me these days." The young man said softly in a slightly aggrieved tone.
Bai Shao pursed her lips, her heart moved, but she still held on and ignored him.
"Little Shao'er, are you angry...... Yan Shu's tone was even more aggrieved, "It's not that I don't want to take you here, but I want you to live in a brand new place, and I have asked people to repair Kunning Palace since the day I took power, but they are too slow, and they have only repaired it now." ”
Bai Shao frowned and said in a low voice, "Back to Your Majesty, the concubines don't dare." ”
Such official words made Yan Shu freeze in place, and she was even more sure of the idea that she was angry.
In an instant, this man, who could decide the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, was at a loss.
On the day of his accession to the throne, when Gonggong Huang read the holy decree of the concubine, he saw that something was wrong with her, but he was busy with affairs at that time, and he subconsciously avoided it in his heart, so he didn't dare to take the initiative to find her.
Now, with the completion of the renovation of Kunning Palace, he finally mustered up the courage to take her into the palace, and tried to be coquettish and stupid, hoping that she would not be angry or annoyed.
But I didn't expect that she was still angry in the end.
"Little Shao'er ......" After a long time, his arms became more and more forceful, and he hugged her tightly and smiled bitterly, "Don't talk to me like this, you forgot, what are you going to call me or something?" ”
"But, you've already entered the palace, aren't you?" Bai Shao said in a stiff tone, "Since you have entered the palace, you should abide by the etiquette in this palace, I don't think I did anything wrong." ”
"No, you're just angry, you...... Don't be mad at me. Yan Shu let go of Bai Shao, lowered her forehead with her forehead, looked at her pitifully and said, "Really...... Don't be angry with me, Shao'er, I know I was wrong...... I shouldn't have made those women concubines, but I can't help myself...... You have to believe me, I have you alone in my heart. ”
"I'm the only one in my heart? Physically having an infinite number of them? As soon as she said this, Bai Shao couldn't suppress her anger anymore, and raised her voice, "Isn't it ridiculous for Your Majesty to come and tell me these words after he has countless beauties?" ”
"No, no...... Yan Shu's face was struggling, "I didn't, little Shao'er...... I don't touch them...... Just let them be decorations, I really don't touch them...... You have to trust me, I won't touch them, you really have to trust me, okay? ”
Maybe it was the pain on Yan Shu's face that poked Bai Shao's heart.
Or maybe it was the sparkle in his eyes that made Bai Shao's heart soften.
In short, after he whispered softly for a moment, Bai Shao calmed down his anger and said in a low voice, "What are you going to do here?" Since they married people into the palace and used them as decorations, wouldn't it hurt them for the rest of their lives? How cruel is this! ”
"Be cruel to them because their father was ......cruel to me first," Yan Shu caressed Bai Shao's cheek and said softly, "What's more, I am willing to be cruel to everyone, in exchange for being good to Xiao Shao'er alone." ”
"You ......" Even though he knew that it was very unfair to those women who were concubines by doing this, Bai Shao couldn't help but relax.
Leaning his head on his shoulder, Bai Shao said a little sullenly, "However, since you have sealed those women because of the coercion of those people on you, if you really don't touch them...... Wouldn't it be too bad for you to let those people grab the handle? ”
"It's okay Shao'er...... You believe me, it won't be too long, it really won't be too long. Yan Shu wrapped her arms around her waist, rubbed her cheek against the hair on the top of her forehead, and said in a low voice, "You just need to believe me, don't believe anyone's words, just trust me, Shao'er, you have to remember, always only believe me......"
That day, the two of them grinded their temples in Qianyuan Palace for a long time, until the sky was a little dark, and Bai Shao returned to Kunning Palace.
Although he had been here once before, because of his different identities at that time, Bai Shao failed to take a closer look at this Kunning Palace, and now that he has really lived here and become the owner here, Bai Shao was surprised to find that this Kunning Palace is spacious and luxurious.
Although it cannot be compared with the buildings of that era, it is also the most gorgeous building that Bai Shao has seen in this era.
"His Majesty specially repaired it for Niangniang." Han Lian glanced at Bai Shao's expression, and said in a timely manner, "Although the Kunning Palace in the past was good, it was not as good as it is now. ”
Bai Shao nodded in confusion, and a burst of heat suddenly surged in her heart, because of the discomfort and awkwardness of entering the palace before, it dissipated a lot at this moment.
Because it was not early, when the imperial dining room brought food, Bai Shao simply ate some and then rested.
Hexiang persuaded her to wait for Your Majesty, but Bai Shao felt that since the two of them had said it, they could wait anywhere, and there was no need to abide by the rules of Narauszi, so they must wait at the door with heavy makeup.
But the heart is still faintly looking forward to his arrival.
But this night, Yan Shu did not come.
Bai Shao waited until she was extremely sleepy, and finally tilted her head and fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already dawn, and Hanlian helped her wash.
Because she has not officially entered the royal jade and the canonization ceremony has not yet been prepared, Bai Shao is not strictly considered a real queen mother, so she did not wear the heavy queen palace dress, but chose a light but not too small family clothes to wear.
After the clothes were dressed, breakfast was delivered from the imperial dining room, and Hexiang carried the food box to the main hall, and then placed the food in the main hall one by one.
Bai Shao sat on the main seat, eating alone.
Yesterday I was a little sleepy, although I was not used to eating alone, but because I knew that Yan Shu was still busy in the Qianyuan Palace, I didn't have too many different emotions.
But this morning, after knowing that he hadn't come overnight, Bai Shao's heart became more and more uncomfortable, and when he was halfway through eating, he wiped his hands and pretended not to care and asked Hexiang beside him, "Is Your Majesty still busy in Qianyuan Palace?" ”
"This ......" Hexiang was stunned at first, and then had a look of embarrassment. for a better user experience.
