In the imperial study, the sky is slightly dark, and the orange-red sunset is still hanging in the sky, looking through the window of the study, it seems to be connected with the towering city wall, forming a magnificent and extraordinary ink painting.

The palace was lively for a day, but finally quieted down. After Chu Juechen came out of Qin Liusu, he hurried back to the imperial study non-stop, the political affairs were complicated, Chu Juechen held the ballpoint pen and marked it on the last chapter, put down the chapter, rubbed his forehead lightly, and then leaned lazily on the dragon chair, under the illumination of the candlelight, his eyes revealed dark green, and he was extremely tired.

Xiao Yuzi saw that Chu Juechen was not easy to disturb like this, so he gently closed the door and retreated. As soon as I turned around, I saw Xiao Lizi in the imperial dining room hurrying over.

walked to Xiao Yuzi's side, held his hands together, owed to Xiao Yuzi, and said respectfully, "Father-in-law, the imperial dining room is ready, does the emperor want to eat?" ”

After all, these eunuchs are also divided into ranks, and this Xiao Yuzi is now a popular person in front of the emperor, and he can't help but respect three points.

"Well, you are waiting here, and the emperor is resting in it now..."Xiao Yuzi has been in the palace for many years, and he knows when to remind the master when not to do it, otherwise he will not be promoted to serve the emperor by the husband above.

It's just that the companion is like a companion tiger, although he has some status among so many fathers-in-law, and the monthly money has increased several times every month, but the closer he is to the emperor, the more clever he has to be to protect his head, fortunately, although Chu Juechen is usually cold, but he doesn't have to say anything to them.

Xiao Lizi didn't care so much, and waited outside the imperial study with Xiao Yuzi.

"Father-in-law, the emperor is really hard..."Xiao Lizi wanted to take the opportunity to slap in with Xiao Yuzi, and had prepared a lot of flattering words, but he was interrupted by Xiao Yuzi before he thought about it.

Xiao Yuzi glanced at him obliquely, "What?" Outside the imperial study, all the guards are not allowed to chat, don't know? Seeing that you are very familiar, you don't look like a new father-in-law, why don't you understand the rules so much? ”

When Xiao Lizi heard him say this, he hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, but was stopped by Xiao Yuzi, "Hey, what are you doing, you just bear what I say, pay attention next time, who didn't come over like this?" There is an unusual place in the palace, and you have to be cautious at all times to watch out for your head... Got it? ”

When Xiao Lizi heard him say this, he had no intention of punishing the crime, so he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded tremblingly.

Xiao Yuzi is also a good person, from the moment he started to find words, he knew what this kid thought, it is not difficult to understand that a little eunuch in the imperial dining room wants to find a backer in the palace, but this kid is too reckless and casual

If you find someone, you want to think of it as a backer, but when the time comes, you won't be able to get shelter, but you won't know if you've been sold, and he will also give him a reminder.

It was almost dark, and the moon had climbed the wall.

Xiao Yuzi saw that the time was almost up, so he ordered Xiao Lizi to go down and prepare the imperial meal, and pushed open the door of the imperial study and walked in.

Chu Jiechen dragged his forehead with his hands, and his eyes were closed as if he was asleep.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Xiao Yuzi stepped forward, bent down and shouted softly.

Chu Jiechen was indeed asleep, but he was woken up by Xiao Yuzi at this moment, but his eyes were clear, he rubbed his shoulders, looked at the sky outside and it was already dark, and asked, "How many days is it?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it's been six watches... Do you go to the queen's place or eat in the imperial dining room? Xiao Yuzi asked.

"Let's eat in the imperial dining room" Chu Jiechen wiped his face and stood up, it was dark, and the little sister probably had already eaten, so it was not good to bother.

The imperial dining room is not far from the imperial study, for convenience. The emperor dined.

After entering the imperial dining room, Xiao Lizi had already prepared the dishes, and when he saw Chu Juechen coming, he immediately knelt down and asked for peace, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live..."

"Okay, get up..."Chu Jiechen just walked to the table and picked up the chopsticks and ate them.

"Your Majesty, the master of the imperial dining room made a lion head for you today, you can taste it, it was made by a famous chef who recently entered the palace from Jiangnan..."

Chu Jiechen didn't have much appetite, he was not interested, he tasted it, it tasted good, but it was still not as delicious as what he had eaten in Yipinxuan before.

After eating, Xiao Lizi brought mouthwash as before, bent over and handed it to Chu Jiechen, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty..."

Chu Jiechen took the mouthwash, and after rinsing his mouth, he ordered, "Go to the queen..."

Xiao Yuzi was not shocked when he heard that he was going to the queen, he had just selected a few concubines, and according to the number of etiquette, he should also pamper those new concubines who entered the palace.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw the prince of the respectful room approaching with a green card, saluted Chu Jiechen, and said in a sharp voice, "Your Majesty, according to your wishes, all the little masters have been placed." Look, which little master's brand are you going to turn over today? ”

Chu Jiechen felt a headache again when he heard this, if he let the little sister know, he might have to overturn the vinegar jar again.

It's just that he knows the number of etiquette in this palace very well, since he is in the emperor's house, his wings are not rich enough to change these old systems, so he can only succumb. Even if he didn't want to, he had nothing to do, he had to do something to show those people. Now I can only grieve my little sister.

Chu Juechen looked at the green cards, thought about it, and then picked up the Nalan Kite brand and gave it to the prince.

Nalan Kite is the daughter of the prime minister, and he can't help but choose her because of the prime minister's face.

"Then the slave and maid will order to go down first..."The prince and princess immediately retreated after speaking, and no one in the deep palace could laugh until the end, and he never saw the newcomer laughing, and did not ask the old man to cry.

The other side

In Yanxi Palace, Nalan Kite had just received the holy decree, she was clutching her clothes, affectionate and complicated, both nervous and a little excited.

It's good that she's closer to him today. A touch of shyness appeared on a plain face.

"Congratulations to the little master, wash and change your clothes, don't let the emperor wait for a long time..."

"Hmm..."Nalan Kite came back to her senses and walked to the bath.

Nalan Kite untied her hairpin as she walked, her long hair spread out, swaying as she walked, white clothes and black hair, clothes and hair were flowing and elegant, untied or untied, slightly fluttering.

It can be seen that the shyness of the woman of Nalan Kite before she got married, her face was faintly shiny and flowing, and her eyes were flashing with a thousand kinds of glazed light.

I have to say that Nalan Kite is very beautiful, and it is no wonder that the world uses "the face is like clotted fat, and the eyes are like paint" to describe her, she gently untied her robe, revealing a white and crystal skin like white jade, like a pearl, shining in the moonlight, slowly, step by step towards the bath, the bath has been covered with roses, exuding a rich fragrance of flowers.

Nalan Kite was helped by Mu Ling to step into the bath step by step, the water overflowed the soles of her feet, and then the black hair was slightly soaked, until it was spread out in the water, the black hair was like a bewitching aquatic weed, and on her jade face, there was a touch of indifference, and a touch of excitement, she gently picked up a petal in the bath and put it in her hand, and then she gently sank into the water, closed her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, covering the eyes that carried too much emotion.

After the Nalan Kite was groomed, Mu Ling took the thin white clothes on the side and wrapped the Nalan Kite and said, "Little Lord, the father-in-law of the worship room is already waiting outside..."

"Well," Nalan Kite had told her about the bed before entering the palace, she walked to the bed and lay down, and said to Mu Ling, "Let them come in..."

"Yes," Mu Ling replied.

After the two eunuchs in the respectful room came in, they only rolled up the Nalan Kite and the people with the quilt, carried them on their bodies, and walked towards the Heart Cultivation Hall without leaving a word.

The Nalan Kite was covered in a quilt, and it was only felt that they had opened the door and placed her on the bed. She always remembered her grandmother's instructions in the palace, and knew that she couldn't lift the quilt by herself at this time, so she had to wait patiently.

Inside the Imperial Study

"Your Majesty, the servant in the respectful room said that Concubine Lan is already in the Heart Cultivation Palace, look, isn't it time to..." Xiao Yuzi reminded, this Chu Jiechen has been in the study for an hour, and he has no intention of leaving, but he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he really responded to that sentence, the emperor is not in a hurry The eunuch is in a hurry.

Chu Juechen didn't respond when he heard him, he just slowly drew the painting in his hand, and didn't put down the pen until he left the last stroke, looked at the painting he had just completed, and then turned around and walked out.

Xiao Yuzi hurriedly chased after him, and glanced at the painting that Chu Juechen had just drawn, it was a teenage girl, holding a sword and waving it among the flowers, and her eyebrows and eyes were very similar to the queen's mother.

Chu Jiechen exhaled deeply, pushed open the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, walked over slowly, went around inside, and saw that the Nalan kite was wrapped in gold wire.

He rolled his eyes, clenched his fist and coughed in his mouth, then said, "Come out..."

Nalan Kite heard the footsteps and knew that Chu Jiechen was beside her, and her heart seemed to be filled with thousands of troops, who would have thought, but what she was waiting for was such an indifferent sentence.

Nalan Kite slowly poked her head out of the quilt, and saw Chu Juechen's yellow robe, her hands were behind her back, and her body was facing her sideways, with a cold face, Nalan Kite held the quilt and shouted softly, "Your Majesty..."

Chu Juechen turned his head with an expression on his face, and said slowly, "I heard that you sympathize with Dali, and you should know that I agreed to choose a concubine this time because I had no choice but to do so..."

Before Chu Jiechen could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Nalan Kite, her voice trembled, her eyes were full of tears, and she was a little emotional, "Your Majesty!" I don't want much, you are the saint today, the person I belong to in my heart, I want to love for the rest of my life, it doesn't matter if you don't love me, but you can't ignore my feelings for you... If you go out of here now, how will I gain a foothold in the palace in the future..."

Now that the news has definitely spread, if others say that the emperor did not favor her, she will definitely have no place in the palace.

"Don't worry, I'll deal with this..."Chu Jiechen took the white silk that was used to prove whether the concubine was innocent from the bed, took out the sword on the side of the bed, cut his fingers, and the blood gradually appeared, Chu Jiechen put the blood on the white silk, and the snow-white white silk was instantly dyed with a piece of red, and the blood bloomed in the white silk, as if a piece of red plum fell on the snow.

Seeing Chu Juechen doing this, Nalan Kite exclaimed, "Your Majesty! She was full of joy, but Chu Jiechen didn't even bother to perfunctory her.

"That's easy to explain, don't worry, I won't treat you badly, if you have anything to mention in the future, there is only one request not to disturb the queen..."

Seeing that he was leaving, Nalan Kite still held a glimmer of hope, lifted the quilt and hugged Chu Juechen's waist with open hands, choked up and said, "Your Majesty, don't go, please..."

Chu Jiechen was a little stunned when she hugged her like this, and when he reacted, he wanted to shake off her hand immediately, he hated other people's touches.

didn't think about it, the strength was not well controlled, so he threw Nalan Kite to the ground, and it was not easy to help her because of his face, so he only said bluntly, "Get up... I'll let them send you back..."

Nalan Kite was disheveled at the moment, and Chu Jiechen only tilted his head and didn't look at her.

"Your Majesty, do you love Qin Liusu so much?" Nalan Kite was in a hurry and didn't choose to speak, and directly said Qin Liusu's name.

Chu Juechen didn't speak, as the king of a country, he could handle all kinds of political affairs, but now, he was trapped by this child's affection.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Nalan Kite slowly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you say that you can agree to whatever I want... Okay I want a baby, can you give it to me? ”

Nalan Kite immediately hugged her again, and Chu Jiechen wanted to pull her hand away, but she held it too tightly.

"This can't be!" Chu Juechen's face sank, and his face was as cold as frost.

Nalan Kite chuckled lightly and slowly let go of Chu Juechen, "Hehe, I also know it's impossible..."
