When Zhuang Yanchen woke up, it was not yet dawn.

It may be that I am always worried about the war these days outside the palace and have developed the habit of waking up early. turned over and saw Cen Muning on the pillow with her back to her, breathing evenly and sleeping extra soundly.

He tried to hold her in his arms, only to find that she had wrapped herself like a worm. There was not a place to reach into the hand.

After a long time, he was a little angry, so he simply got up and dragged her out of the soft quilt.

Cen Muning was startled, the whole person sat up, his head hit his chin just right, and he let out a painful "hmm". "Your Majesty?"

"Why are you wrapped so tightly?" Zhuang Yanchen rubbed her forehead unhappily: "Why are you sleeping?" ”

Cen Muning only felt that his body was cold, and he got into his quilt hard, and then frowned: "The emperor sleeps deeply, and the concubines are afraid of disturbing your rest." The emperor has always been worried about the war, and he hasn't been so relaxed for a long time, and he fell asleep next to the pillow last night, and the concubines were both happy and distressed when they saw it. This royal expedition is the emperor's ......"

His lips were kissed by his thin lips, Zhuang Chenchen frowned for a moment before he said, "In the boudoir, do you have to tell me that the war will not work?" How do I feel that I have only been away from the Imperial City for four months, but I feel like I am much more alienated. ”

These words made Cen Mu freeze for a moment, as if he was right. These days, she is worried about the war, the Chu family, and his safety. I care about who is fighting side by side with him, and I am a little jealous and a little unhappy. But when he came back, the feeling was reassuring and comfortable, but it was not as warm as he imagined. It seems that there is something wrong, but I can't tell.

Zhuang Yanchen saw that she didn't speak, but she didn't stop what she should do.

"Do you know that the more you are so cold-faced, the more I want to get you."

His voice in her ears, with an ambiguous tone, rendered his domineering and strong.

Cen Muning suddenly opened his eyes, and a pair of hands stuck around his neck.

This move startled Zhuang Chen, and he was stunned for a while. "You...... Do. ”

Cen Muning pressed his right knee against his abdomen, stuck his neck and flipped it to the right. Smoothly knocked him down.

"Your Majesty, you have always known that if you want your concubines to be obedient, you must pay the price. In the past, you saved the life of your concubine, and now, you have saved the Chu family. And what about the future? If the emperor wants his concubines to submit, he must have the ability to control his concubines. If you just move your mouth and want your concubines to be obedient, you don't know your concubines too much. ”

"Isn't it enough for me to promise you a lifetime of glory?" Zhuang Chenchen stretched out her arms from the tips of her fingers and firmly grasped her wrists. "Queen, it's not a good thing to be too greedy."

"The emperor is wrong, the concubines are not too greedy, but just the opposite. Concubines are not greedy. Cen Muning smiled gently, and her tone was slightly cold: "There is nothing more important in this world than being alive." There is nothing more painful than the loss of a loved one. It's just glorious and rich, and the concubines never pay attention to it. The first two things, the concubine is willing to trade with you, and the latter one is dispensable, and the concubine is not interested. ”

"You are hateful." Zhuang Chenchen frowned and reached out to tickle her.

Cen Muning was motionless at him, without the slightest fear.

"You're not afraid of itching?" Zhuang Chenchen was stunned again.

"If you want to be afraid, you will be afraid, and if you don't want to be afraid, you will not be afraid." Cen Mooning looked at him with interest: "Your Majesty, not everything about the concubines has been guessed by you, do you say yes?" ”

The two have known each other for a long time before Zhuang Chenchen laughed.

Although there is only one candle in the room, which is not very bright, this light is extraordinarily warm.

"I don't have a problem with you, this game, you win." Zhuang Chenchen took the opportunity to take her back into his arms. "I am rich in the world, if I can't win the queen's heart, won't it become a big joke."

Cen Muning looked at his eyes, which were indeed both familiar and unfamiliar. "Your Majesty, the concubine hasn't woken up yet."

"Okay, you sleep." Zhuang Chenchen stretched out his arms and let her pillow herself. "That's it, my queen."

"Hmm." Cen Mooning leaned over to him, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

If only he weren't the emperor.

When I woke up again, it was already noon.

The bright sun was shining on the quilt, and it was warm and dry. It was a really comfortable feeling.

"Qingli, Bingling......" She sat up and realized that the hour should not be early.

"Queen Mother, you're awake." Qing Li smiled and led the concubines in, with a layer of spring light on his face. "Sister Bingling has gone to pass the meal. The slave maid will dress and change your clothes for you, and it's time to eat. ”

"It's noon?" Cen Muning said with some embarrassment: "Why didn't you wake up the palace earlier." Wouldn't it be to let the concubines who asked for peace wait for an empty time? ”

"The master ordered early in the morning, and at yesterday's feast, the concubines drank a lot of wine. Niangniang, you are even more drunk, so you will not be able to drink today, and let you specially order the slave and maid not to wake you up, so that you can sleep as long as you want. Where do slaves and maids dare to disobey the will of their masters, and call your mother to get up. Qingli smiled brighter than a flower.

"You girl, too, come to make fun of this palace." Cen Mooning pretended to be angry and gently pinched her arm.

Qingli giggled: "Even if the mother strangles the slave and maid, the slave and the maid have to take care of the master's love for the mother." ”

"Alright. And I can't talk about it anymore. "Cen Muning is a little embarrassed." Hurry up and give me my makeup, I'm hungry right now. ”

"Yes." Qingli is also a neat girl, and she also does a beautiful job of dressing up. After a while, it was properly cleaned up for the queen. "Mother, what do you want for lunch? The imperial dining room sent some over, and Sister Bingling also went to prepare. And ......"

"How?" Cen Muning looked at her a little strangely: "What else?" ”

"Concubine Gong also specially asked people to send some dishes over, saying that it was the game that was hunted on the road during the battle in Zhongnan." Qingli paused for a moment before he said, "The slave and maid have also seen those game, which are nothing more than hares, birds, and the like." It's done delicately, and it looks like I started preparing yesterday. It's just that Concubine Gong's gift is still a new job. She insisted on sending that one back to the palace last night, and she came to bring you a meal this morning. ”

"Along the way, she accompanied the emperor to eat and sleep, and she was busy dealing with the war, which was indeed harder. Maybe he also formed a friendship with the concubine on the way, and now he has come up with this set of harmonious harem style, and he also hopes that the emperor can appreciate it. Cen Mu Ning chose a golden hairpin to pin her sideburns, and got up with her hand to have lunch.

At this time, he happened to come over and saluted respectfully: "Queen Mother, Concubine Xin is asking to see you outside." ”

"Xin Concubine?" Cen Muning didn't react for a while.

Qingli hurriedly said: "It's Xinmeiren, and the emperor also canonized her as a concubine yesterday." ”

"Oh, yes." Cen Muning then remembered that Zhuang Chenchen had indeed been canonized three times yesterday. "Invite her to the dining room."

"Yes." Shuo Guo hurriedly retreated.

As soon as he sat down, Xinwei arrived. "The concubine greets the queen."

"No courtesy." Cen Muning said to Bingling: "Put on another pair of dishes and chopsticks, and let Concubine Xin eat with the palace." ”

"How does this work?" Xin Wei hurriedly shook her head: "Queen Mother, the concubine came to disturb at this time because Sister Liao was a little unhappy, and she wanted to ask the deputy court judge to take a look again." ”

"It's fine." Cen Muning said to Shuoguo: "You go and ask the deputy court to go to Jinlai Hall and give Concubine Liao a good look." She is now pregnant with a dragon fetus, so she should not be sloppy. ”

"Yes." The fruit retreated.

Cen Muning said to Xin Wei at this time: "Sit down, there are many rules in this palace, and you take care of your own meals every day." It's rare to have someone with you. You're the one who accompanied the palace in the mansion again, and it's been a few years. It doesn't have to be that way. ”

"Thank you, Queen." Xinwei had no choice but to sit down.

Bingling generously prepared vegetables for her, and Qingli had been serving Cen Mooning for dinner.

The two of them were eating, but they didn't have anything to say.

"You, everything is written on your face, and this palace can't pretend to be invisible. Why, exactly? Cen Mooning put down her chopsticks, picked up the soup bowl, and drank slowly.

"I can't hide anything from the queen mother." Xin Wei smiled a little embarrassedly: "The emperor suddenly promoted the position of concubine yesterday, and the concubine really can't understand it." Obviously, only the concubines and concubines have been meritorious, and the concubines have always been denied holy grace, relying on the blessings and protection of the queen. If the emperor reprimands the concubines for not serving the queen dedicatedly, the concubines are still more down-to-earth, but this ......"

"Our emperor is the most thoughtful emperor." Cen Mu smiled with his lips hooked, and his tone was soft: "Although Su Rili, he only cares about the government and the military, and he doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of the harem. But in fact, what someone does, good or bad, he sees it in his eyes and knows it in his heart. So there are so many concubines, he just promoted you to the position, that's the reason. ”

"Concubine...... Still in fear. Xin Wei lowered her head: "Actually, the concubines have long been out of the luxury of the emperor's grace." It is already the greatest blessing to be able to accompany Sister Liao to talk to her sister in Su Ri, and her sister is bored and lives in peace. What's more, it is already a great blessing that the concubines can still serve by the queen's side. ”

"It's not that the emperor doesn't care about you, it's just that he cares in a different way." Cen Muning asked Bingling to serve her a bowl of soup, and then said slowly: "There are many kinds of grace. Sometimes it's not necessarily good to be too prosperous, and sometimes ignoring it doesn't mean not paying attention. In short, since the emperor thinks that you are worthy of the concubine, then the palace is also relieved to leave the affairs of the harem to you. You can do your own thing with peace of mind and don't worry. ”

"Yes." Xin Wei smiled slightly.

"Try this soup, it's delicious." Cen Mooning drank slowly again.

"Thank you, mother." Xin Wei drank some of it.

What made Cen Muning more satisfied was that at this time, Xin Wei didn't say anything about Concubine Liao. She's not the kind of person who double-faced, three-faced, and sees people serving dishes. Finally, she didn't do anything wrong in the first place.

Although Xinwei didn't say anything more, she was still uneasy in her heart. The emperor's sudden canonization is probably already a knife piercing Liao Concubine's heart. In the days to come, it will be difficult to be as comfortable and calm as before.
