Chapter 229: Prelude
There was silence for a long time, so long that the chief eunuch thought that the emperor would not reply to him again, and was about to withdraw silently, but he heard the emperor's deep voice.
"Well, let her in! I'm tired too! These uneasy things will give me trouble all day long! ”
The voice was cold and cold, suppressing a faint anger, the two long eyebrows wrinkled into two black bumps, gently squirming and terrifying, the palace people knew in their hearts that the bigger the two black bumps, the more angry the emperor became, and he must have been very irritable at this moment, and see what Concubine He could do to make him happy.
Chu Bowen's "prodigal son's return" is a happy event for Concubine He Duan's palace, but he can't find any suitable opportunity to show his face for a while, so he can only come to the emperor to inquire in a hurry, maybe he can also lead him to find a decent way to make Chu Bowen regain appreciation!
I don't know what she thinks, but she can hit the emperor with her idea, and for Chu Bowen's future, she can be regarded as fighting.
Although Miyagi is separated from the outside by a wall, but this should have a little bit of heat, it is the afternoon, the sun is like a sword piercing her delicate skin, but after standing for a while, she is already sweating, only to feel a sullen body, the head is groggy, the light is dazzling in a trance, and the end of the line of sight is a burst of white light, except for the luxurious and low-key palace wall, there is nothing to see.
The palace people who passed the word have been in for a long time, why haven't they come out to tell her, Concubine He was anxious, but she didn't dare to show it, and she held on as if she was very patient. Anyway, she is also an old man in the palace, and she naturally knows that the emperor has been very troubled in the past two days, and she can stay in her palace honestly like everyone else, but at this time, their mother and son are not in good condition, if they don't dare to take the initiative, they can't do anything if they wait.
But it's been so long, and there's still no news at all, could it be that today's trip is going to run in vain?! Concubine He was depressed in her heart, on such a hot day, the palace clothes on her body were impenetrable, it was so hot, no matter how patient she was, she should not be able to support it at this moment, she should have sent someone to send her over directly, it was better than waiting here for a long time.
was almost ready to leave at any time, but the eunuch in charge of the imperial study waiting for the monarch came out and said with a happy face:
"Xuanhe Concubine Niangniang will meet you!"
The shrill voice as usual shook people's hearts, as if some sharp and terrifying thorn-like object gently crossed the heart, and it was very unpleasant for no reason!
Concubine He was overjoyed, smiled slightly, replied "Thank you, father-in-law", and then took the maid into the hall, her legs and feet were numb and her movements were light, and she was not too far from the depraved appearance just now!
"The concubine has seen Your Majesty!"
As usual, respectful, Concubine He bowed slightly, and was very elegant and beautiful in one go, today's makeup was slightly plain and clean, the distant mountain eyebrows were sinuous and beautiful, and a pair of peach blossom eyes were moving, although she was over forty years old, she was not half decadent, and she was still enchanting and coquettish, showing her charming style with every move and smile.
Emperor Chengqi never raised his eyes, his eyes always stayed on the various folds on the table, the four swinging fan maids around him were all tired and sweaty, their faces were red and tired, but the movements of their hands were not slack, and finally created a little clear and cool for the emperor, all corners of the hall are placed with aged ice cubes, which are the most suitable for shaking the heat, but the damp and a little cold in the imperial study, Concubine He came in from the scorching sun, it was inevitable that she was a little uncomfortable, her brows were slightly wrinkled but barely revealed.
What does this mean? If she is allowed to enter the temple without saying a word, could it be that she did not hear her greetings?
"Your Majesty, the weather has been a little hot recently, and the concubine thought that His Majesty was busy with official business, and her body must be unbearable, so she made some lotus leaf ice porridge and sent it over, this lotus leaf porridge is the most suitable for relieving heat in the summer, and I hope Your Majesty can like it!"
You can't come in vain, although Concubine He said that her IQ is not enough, and her resourcefulness is not enough, but she still has the strength to see the anger that cannot be hidden between the emperor's eyebrows, she knows that the other party is not in a good mood, but it is not easy to come to a trip, even if she is in a dilemma, she can't give up easily, maybe the emperor likes it! simply stalked his neck and spoke cautiously, tentatively guessing that he didn't dare to say a word, only to feel a chill all around him, I don't know if the temperature of this ice cube is too low, or the emperor's aura is too cold.
After finishing the words, Concubine He still maintained a posture of bowing her body respectfully, and the emperor still didn't pay attention to her, and buried all his attention on the large stack of folds in front of him, which was actually Concubine He stunned for a moment, what did this mean?
"The weather is hot, it's really hard for the concubine to have this heart, let's present it, but it's a little thirsty at this time, I don't know if it's been so long, is the concubine's craftsmanship the same as before?!"
When Concubine He felt that her body was about to stiffen, the emperor slowly got up and chuckled, and handed Concubine He a meaningful look, the latter smiled happily, forcibly suppressed the cold uneasiness in his heart, and slowly walked towards the emperor, his palms oozing sweat, and his back was slightly wet.
The other party's gaze was too awe-inspiring, and it frightened her inexplicably.
The cool ice porridge melted in his mouth, and the sweetness instantly enveloped his whole person, and the tip of his tongue was cold, and after a while, his whole body relaxed, wandering in boundless comfort and being safe and sound, the emperor's eyes were slightly closed, and he enjoyed it very much.
Concubine He's eyes were sharp, and when she saw that the emperor's face was softened, she knew that he was very satisfied, and it was not in vain that she had wasted so much time, and she was thinking about what to say and do next, but the situation suddenly changed!
"Presumptuous, Concubine He, you are so bold!"
With a "pop", the jade bowl shattered in response, and most of the ice porridge was spilled on the ground very miserably, and the emperor's voice was cold and deep, so frightened that the maids behind him were shocked, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.
Concubine He "chuckled" in her heart, and knelt down subconsciously, panicking and not knowing what the other party meant, she only felt a coldness all over her body, and the powerful sense of coercion almost made her overwhelmed, and she instantly panicked and was at a loss.
"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't know what she has done wrong, but she has provoked Your Majesty so angry! I hope Your Majesty will forgive you! ”
Concubine He was shocked, lost her voice in an instant, trembling and at a loss, her mind was blank, her thoughts were flying messy, and she didn't know what went wrong, only to feel that the other party's momentum was awe-inspiring and murderous, and he was ruthless to the end, ruthless, and he was flustered for a while.
