Ye Zhaopei sat with Empress Dowager Zheng for lunch for the first time, sitting at the table quite nervously.

Before this, Empress Dowager Zheng never refused to look at her squarely, even if the two of them sat together, Empress Dowager Zheng never gave her a good face.

But at the moment, Empress Dowager Zheng just said lightly: "Don't be restrained, your lord likes you, and there will be more time together like this in the future." You just have to get used to it in advance. ”

Ye Zhaopei glanced at the Empress Dowager Zheng cautiously and nodded: "Yes, Empress Dowager." ”

The dishes had already been served, Empress Dowager Zheng picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites, as if she remembered something, she frowned a little and said, "Your injury ...... What's going on? ”

Ye Zhaopei had just eaten a mouthful of food, and was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked at Empress Dowager Zheng with a somewhat puzzled expression. Which injury is the Queen Mother talking about?

Empress Dowager Zheng glanced at her shoulder: "That time in the other courtyard, you were injured on the shoulder. Isn't it okay yet? ”

"That," Ye Zhaopei replied vaguely and swallowed his meal, "It's already done." It was a minor injury, there was no quenching poison on the sword, and it was already much better after being drugged that day. ”

Empress Dowager Zheng said "um", not knowing what to say.

Ye Zhaopei was worried that Empress Dowager Zheng still remembered her injury, so she took the initiative to lift the collar a few points, revealing her already scabbed shoulders: "Look, it's already healed." We have all been tested by the medicine stone, and the wounds will heal much faster than others. ”

Empress Dowager Zheng looked at her shoulder and noticed that in addition to the scabbed wound, Ye Zhaopei had various large and small wounds on her skin. Although they have all turned into pale scars, they are shocking at a glance. Those are all proofs of her swords and swords over the years.

Empress Dowager Zheng frowned: "Get dressed." ”

Ye Zhaopei hurriedly put on her clothes, thinking that Empress Dowager Zheng thought it was rude for her to casually show her shoulders, so she immediately admitted her mistake: "Queen Mother, I shouldn't show my shoulders to others so casually." ”

Empress Dowager Zheng glanced at her. Ye Zhaopei's expression was very soft, he didn't smile, I don't know why, Empress Dowager Zheng felt a sense of intimacy that she had never seen before. is about to leave the sword, Ye Zhaopei is indeed a cute little girl.

She said: "It really shouldn't be exposed, after all, you are the woman, and if you want to show it, you have to show it to the king alone." ”

A sentence evoked memories of Jiang Zhi's past, Ye Zhaopei's ears turned red, and his eyes drooped: "What the Queen Mother said is that Zhaopei remembers." ”

Empress Dowager Zheng said: "There are ...... You have so many scars on your body, and you don't have the look of a queen. ”

Ye Zhaopei was stunned for a moment, raised a smile, and said, "Queen Mother, but if I didn't have these scars on my body, how could I be so stable now?" ”

It was Empress Dowager Zheng's turn to be stunned.

"Yes, Queen Mother, if it weren't for Zhao Pei's injuries, this East Country is not a son's, and you will not be firmly in the position of Queen Mother. There are too many people who want to kill us, which one of them hasn't broken his head by Zhao Pei? ”

Jiang Zhi paced slowly into the door, his gaze lingering on Ye Zhaopei's body for an extra moment.

Ye Zhaopei was stunned by him, and hurriedly got up: "Your Majesty!" ”

Jiang Zhi walked to her side, couldn't help but raise his hand and pinched her cheek: "Why are you so nervous when you see me, sit down." ”

Adjacent to Jiang Zhi's seat, Ye Zhaopei felt a lot of sweat in her palms, almost wetting her sleeves.

Empress Dowager Zheng said: "Why do you have time to come and eat this meal with me today?" ”

Bai Li had already sent a new bowl and chopsticks to Jiang Zhi, Jiang Zhi took the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of charcoal-grilled pork in Ye Zhaopei's bowl, and looked at the Empress Dowager Zheng when he heard the words, and smiled: "The queen mother misunderstood." I'm mainly here to accompany Zhao Pei to dinner. ”

He sighed: "Knowing that Zhao Pei is going to start the self-cultivation ceremony today, I have already arranged a feast, but it is still too late to start, so I asked the queen mother to take the lead." ”

Ye Zhaopei didn't dare to speak.

Empress Dowager Zheng couldn't help but say: "You just haven't made an edict, you have to be so pampered, if you really get married in the future, then I'm afraid you will forget that there is still me, the queen mother." ”

In this regard, Jiang Zhi was quite impressed: "So the queen mother, you have to be better to Zhao Pei now." In the future, you may have to see if Zhao Pei still remembers the queen mother and whether he is willing to talk to the queen mother. ”

suddenly realized that she had raised this son for so many years, and the Empress Dowager Zheng sighed.

Ye Zhaopei looked at the two of them back and forth, and said with a serious face: "I will always remember the queen mother." ”

"Huh? What was your name just now? Jiang Zhi raised his eyebrows and looked over.

I said...... Dowager. Ye Zhaopei thought that his words and deeds were arrogant, and quickly changed his words.

Jiang Zhi just smiled and said: "You are already the queen, it doesn't matter if you call the queen mother directly." Don't you remember what we did last night? After that, who else in this palace doesn't recognize you as the Queen of the East? ”

What he said was very ambiguous, which caused Empress Dowager Zheng's eyes to stare at her. Ye Zhaopei couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Jiang Zhi was still smiling, and put a chopstick on the outside of the charred and tender fat beef in the bowl for her: "In the future, I will continue to call the queen mother." ”

Ye Zhaopei glanced at Empress Dowager Zheng. The latter has no expression, just a person who eats with his head bowed.

Jiang Zhi asked her, "Why don't you look at me?" ”

Ye Zhaopei could only look at Jiang Zhi.

thought that Jiang Zhi had something else to tease her, but Jiang Zhi glanced at her, and then turned his gaze away: "Okay, let's eat." ”

Ye Zhaopei said "um".

—————

The lunch went on a bit awkwardly.

After all, for the first time, Empress Dowager Zheng and Ye Zhaopei had nothing to say, and because Jiang Zhi was here, Empress Dowager Zheng actually didn't have much opportunity to talk to Ye Zhaopei.

Jiang Zhi would ask Ye Zhaopei a few words. At first, Ye Zhaopei would put down his chopsticks and answer respectfully, but after gradually getting used to it, Ye Zhaopei could already answer Jiang Zhi's question calmly while eating.

Most of Jiang Zhi's questions are nothing more than "how did you sleep last night" and "how did you spend this morning", but in fact, they are a little boring. But Ye Zhaopei answered very seriously.

At this point, Empress Dowager Zheng, as a woman who has been widowed for a long time, if she hadn't always taken into account her identity, I am afraid she would definitely not be able to help but roll her eyes at the two of them.

After lunch, Jiang Zhi led Ye Zhaopei away, but Empress Dowager Zheng opened her mouth leisurely: "Your Majesty." ”

Jiang Zhi turned to look at her: "What does the queen mother command?" ”

Empress Dowager Zheng said: "Now it is just an edict, and it has not yet been officially married." The Jiang royal family has always followed the rules, so don't wait too much. There are some things that you don't do until you get married. ”

Jiang Zhi smiled and said, "The words of the queen mother, the son remembered it." ”

Ye Zhaopei was stunned for a while before he realized what Empress Dowager Zheng meant by this, and his face turned red. Until she followed Jiang Zhi out of the Birthday Palace, the temperature on her face did not fade.

Jiang Zhi glanced at her, and couldn't help but ask her with a smile: "Didn't you say it last night?" You said you'd seen it and learned it, but I didn't think you would have such a big reaction. ”

I really don't know, when the two of them really go to that bed together in the future, what will Ye Zhaopei's reaction be? Still blushing? Or is it some other cuteness?

Jiang Zhi said: I'm looking forward to it.

"Because we haven't had it yet, the queen mother has misunderstood." Ye Zhaopei still blushed.

"I wish we had it last night." Jiang Zhi sighed.

Ye Zhaopei stared at Jiang Zhi for a moment, and said very softly: "We will have it." ”

Jiang Zhi was quite surprised, he didn't know that his little Zhaopei still had the time to be able to let go so much. He couldn't help but smile, turned his head and asked her, "By the way, I heard that Princess Huanyi's master and servant went to trouble you again today?" ”

Ye Zhaopei said "um": "I saw them, but I didn't get into trouble by them." Princess Huanyi originally wanted to eat with the queen mother, but the queen said that she wanted to eat with me, so the two of them left. ”

Jiang Zhi said: "Princess Huanyi wants to call the queen mother out of the horse, say more about you, and tell me not to marry you." ”

Ye Zhaopei nodded: "I know she means this." ”

Jiang Zhi said again: "It's probably because you are finally no longer covered in blood, and the queen mother finally discovered that you are really a likable girl." So now, the queen mother likes you a lot, too. ”

Ye Zhaopei was slightly stunned, then nodded with a smile: "Now I also know." ”

The two walked to Jiang Zhi's dormitory, and Jiang Zhi glanced back at the official water behind him. Guan Shui understood what he meant at a glance, and immediately withdrew all the attendants, Ye Zhaopei looked back and was about to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Zhi behind him.

Jiang Zhi grabbed her arm and asked with a smile, "Zhao Pei, where are you going?" ”

"Your Excellency rests, I will naturally wait outside." Ye Zhaopei lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at him.

"It's the attendants who are waiting outside, and you are the queen," Jiang Zhi looked at her deeply, "If I rest, you should rest with me." Do you know how to accompany you? ”

Ye Zhaopei was silent for a while, nodded slowly, and stretched out his hand to untie Jiang Zhi's belt.

Jiang Zhi was stunned for a moment, let go of her, and took a big step back, avoiding her hand.

Ye Zhaopei was very strange, raised his eyes to look at him, and tilted his head: "Your Majesty? ”

Jiang Zhi didn't know which one of the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Palace pictures Ye Zhaopei was looking back at in his mind now, but no matter what kind of posture he was, he was a little nervous.

After being silent for a moment, Jiang Zhi swallowed and looked at Ye Zhaopei: "What I mean by resting with me is a simple meaning, Zhaopei, where do you want to go?" ”

Ye Zhaopei's face turned red all of a sudden.

Her head was groggy, and she didn't know why, she was tricked into bed by Jiang Zhi. Jiang Zhi leaned sideways, put one hand on her waist, and half closed his eyes: "Just let me hold it like this." ”

Ye Zhaopei's mind returned to his place and replied sullenly.

Jiang Zhi said again: "But my stamina is also quite limited, Zhao Pei, you have to be ready to push me away at any time." ”

This time, Ye Zhaopei did not respond. Jiang Zhi opened his eyes and saw that Ye Zhaopei took the initiative to get into his arms, and the fragrance was soft.

He heard her say softly, "Your Majesty, no matter what you do, I will not push you away." ”

Jiang Zhi felt that he might really not be able to wait.
