Chapter 174: Love is as deep as the sea
Liang Yue was slightly stunned, and there were some surprises How did Ripple become the palace maid of this Qianyuan Palace, and besides, she was still a close attendant? Looking at it like this, even if she knows that she recognizes the wrong person, she still has feelings for the emperor. Did the sad look just now be because I saw her in bed?
Xuanyuan Zi was stunned from his steps, obviously not expecting to respond to ripples. Peony stood at the door, clasped her hands, and didn't mean to care at all, but Sixi's father-in-law was stunned and shouted ripples: "You don't have to go over to serve." β
Ripple was stunned for a moment, the hand holding the dragon robe shook slightly, and slowly turned to look at Sixi's father-in-law. Si Xi's face was a little embarrassed, and he stepped forward to take the clothes in Ripple's hand, and went to serve His Majesty to change his clothes.
Does it look like Ripples came in on their own? Liang Yue's eyes were slightly raised, and Emperor Mingxuan's robe on her body was slightly larger, and she was almost ready to wear it as a group of water sleeves. She sat at the head of the bed, carefully surveying the ripples.
Ripple obviously also saw Liang Yue, and there was no evasion from other palace people, she raised her head and looked straight at Liang Yue, with resentment and sadness in her eyes, but in the end, it turned into a tear and lowered her eyes.
This person is so strange.
The emperor changed into a dragon robe and came out, walked to the bedside, slowly hugged Liang Yue, kissed her lips, and whispered, "When I come back, I can rest." β
Liang Yue's face turned red, and she subconsciously glanced at the palace people behind her. Everyone lowered their heads, only Ripples raised their faces, looking at her a little stunned.
Feeling a little uncomfortable inexplicably, Liang Yue reached out and grabbed the sleeve of Xuanyuan Zili, who was about to leave. The emperor was stunned for a moment, turned his head sideways to look at Liang Yue, and there was some joy in his eyes.
"I don't like her, can I get her not to come in and serve me?" Liang Yue pointed at the ripples clearly and said lightly.
The emperor was stunned, and Ripple's eyes widened, looking at Liang Yue who said it like this in disbelief, tears slowly welled up in his eyes, and he fell to his knees.
"Don't like ripples?" Xuanyuan Zili hooked the corners of his lips, glanced at the ripples, and his eyes fell on the face of Liang Yue, who looked as usual, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes: "Are you minding the matter of Lingye City?" β
Liang Yue didn't turn her head and didn't answer, her hand let go of the emperor's sleeve, turned around and shrunk into the dragon couch and said in a muffled voice: "If you like it, the concubine can't care about the affairs of this Qianyuan Palace, you just keep it." β
Fingers clenched slightly, Liang Yue didn't understand what was wrong with her, was she coquettish like a child? It's just that she doesn't like ripples, it's a feeling that can't be hidden. She didn't dislike Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang, and she didn't hate Situ Ning too much, but for this woman, she really didn't feel good. If she says it bluntly, will the emperor think she is jealous and willful?
"Ripples, you go out, you don't have to come into the main hall." The emperor's voice behind him sounded, and Liang Yue's hand tightened.
"Aunt Peony, Liangyue has been handed over to you to take care of, and I will go to the court first."
"Congratulations to the Emperorβ"
Closing her eyes, Suzuki relaxed and shook her head. That's it, whatever he thinks, he has to give himself a chance to be willful.

This morning, Emperor Mingxuan was late to the court.
The civil and military officials looked at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, and they were all slightly surprised. He is a person who has never been late, and he has stopped the court several times, all because of something big happened in the harem. But now it looked like this, the emperor's eyes were smiling like never before, and the whole person faded away from the usual coldness, and sat on the high hall like a piece of delicate warm jade, looking down at them.
Today... I'm in a good mood. So why are you late? Although, only a moment late.
Mo Zhiyuan looked at Xuanyuan Zili in a daze, choked in his throat when he was ready, the serious expression on his face was slightly shattered, and he only looked at the child who felt very happy, and his heart moved slightly.
General Situ was sick today and did not go to the court, and Prime Minister Mo was in a daze again, and no one broke the silence in the court for a long time. Xuanyuanzi still came back to his senses, collected a little doting between his eyebrows, looked at the ministers and said: "Zhong Aiqing, report your affairs in turn." The envoys of the state have returned to China, and the relationship with our court has continued to be well maintained. Recently, your excerpts have also mentioned many of the subject countries, and what is the current situation is to report them one by one. β
"The minister has a play." Mo Zhiyuan finally came back to his senses, got out of the queue, looked up at the emperor and said: "The neighbor Yongyuan that the emperor said has been rich and strong in the past ten years, and it has developed from a small country to a neighboring country that has a tendency to compete with my apocalypse. It's just that civil strife seems to have broken out in the last two years, so the strength is not as good as the year. Weichen thinks that now my dynasty can meddle in its internal affairs, and choose a prince to support the throne, which is beneficial to my apocalypse. β
"Do you want to support the prince?" Xuanyuan Zili's eyes narrowed slightly, and the warmth in his eyes was suppressed, leaving only a black sea in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, the situation in Yongyuan's country is complicated, and it is not appropriate to blindly meddle." Scholar Mei stood up and frowned: "Besides, the minister knows Yongyuan, the eldest prince is brutal by nature, the second prince is weak and sickly, and the third prince ignores the outside world. They didn't take the initiative to ask for help from my apocalypse, so naturally we didn't have to interfere. β
The ministers of the court and the central government began to discuss one after another, and Mo Zhiyuan looked at Emperor Mingxuan quietly, with a trace of contemplation in his eyes.
"I think Scholar Mei has a point." Xuanyuan Zi was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "The situation is not very clear now, send someone to watch it." When appropriate, an olive branch can also be thrown to the prince who can be appointed. We'll talk about the rest at that time. β
"The emperor is wise." The ministers bowed their heads and had no objections.
Walking on the way to Qianyuan Palace after the next dynasty, Qing Jue came out and followed the emperor and said softly: "Some of Yongyuan's forces are infiltrated in the Apocalypse, and the subordinates don't know who is taking the lead, but there are many Yongyuan people in the territory of the Apocalypse. And it is very likely to be the person of the great prince. The eldest prince Helian Xiaotian's methods are brutal and terrifying, but his strength is also the best among the three princes. His subordinates felt that if the emperor wanted to meddle in the internal affairs, he could start from here. β
"Helian Xiaotian?" Xuanyuan Zili muttered again, but did not say anything more. Qianyuan Palace has arrived.
Opening the door of the palace and walking in, the emperor frowned, looking at the pile of messes on the bed, but there was no one empty, and his heart sank.
Gone? The door behind him closed naturally, and Xuanyuanzi's mood that was still excited just now instantly cooled down, looking at the bed, a little empty. said let her wait, why can't this person be obedient?
There was the sound of water behind the screen, and then the voice of the cool moon sounded quietly: "The emperor is too early to go down today." β
As soon as his black eyes lit up, Xuanyuan Zi got up and walked quickly behind the screen.
The water mist was hazy, Liang Yue's body turned over, quickly grabbed the edge of the barrel, and looked at the emperor who came to the screen, his cheeks were slightly red.
"What are you doing in here?"
Xuanyuan Zili smiled slightly, approached her step by step, looking at her fair skin lining the blush on her face, and her eyes were overwhelmed with a rare sight.
"It's not like I haven't seen it before." The emperor walked to the wooden barrel, picked up the petals placed next to him, and slowly sprinkled them into the wooden barrel of the cool moon.
"Don't look at the gentleman's indecency." Liang Yue's body trembled slightly, and she frowned.
The emperor nodded in agreement, ran his fingers over her exposed back, and said, "It turns out that my Taifu taught this sentence, so I know." β
Liang Yue glared at him.
"However, you are my woman, so that sentence does not count."
Gently bowing his head and kissing the scar on Liang Yue's shoulder, Xuanyuan Zili's voice was hoarse and low, some rough fingers scratched Liang Yue's skin, and the corners of his mouth had a happy smile.
"Hey." Liang Yue dodged back, frowned, and said, "Don't make trouble, I'm going to come out, you go outside and wait for me first." β
"I don't like to wait for people." Xuanyuan moved slightly from the tip of his eyebrows, grabbed Liang Yue's wrist, and pulled her out of the tub.
A splash of water was splashed, Liang Yue's pupils shrank, and his wet body was held in the emperor's arms, and his own dragon robe was also wet.
"You..." his face was flushed, Liang Yue opened his eyes in surprise, and just as he wanted to speak, his whole body was fished out of the water by him and walked to the bed.
"Aren't you going to come out? Then I don't have to wait. Xuanyuan Zili looked at Liang Yue seriously and put her on the soft couch beside her: "The dragon couch is dirty, just lie here first." β
Liang Yue was so angry that she couldn't speak, she only grabbed the emperor's dragon robe tightly, and shouted, "Are you fixing me?" There's not even a quilt here, I..."
The emperor sneered, let Liang Yue hold him, and said in a calm voice: "There is only me in the palace, it doesn't matter if you don't wear it." β
"Shameless." Liang Yue bit the emperor's lip, bit out the blood, and said fiercely: "Let me go and get dressed." β
"Shhh Gu Liangyue is Gu Liangyue, not gentle at all.
"Now it's you holding me, if you want to wear it, you can just let me go."
Liang Yue gritted her teeth, really let go of Xuanyuan Zili, pulled the gauze tent next to her, and wrapped it around her body. The bright yellow gauze tent hanging next to the soft couch was easily ripped off by this person, and the emperor's eyes widened, and then he smiled.
"You really are..."The blush on Liang Yue's face did not dissipate, she glared at the emperor, wrapped in a gauze tent and was about to go to the screen to get her clothes.
"Your Majesty, Lord Xia Qingfeng is asking to see you outside the palace." Sixi's voice came, making Liang Yue's steps pause.
The emperor's face darkened, and he got up and picked up Liang Yue and walked behind the screen: "Let him wait for me in the side hall!" Kneel and wait! β
Liang Yue was startled, the hand holding the gauze tent was broken by the emperor, and then the gauze tent fell to the ground, and the man in front of her personally took her clothes and helped her put them on one by one. The movements are gentle and swift.
"If he hadn't saved you with his straw bracelet, I should have sent him back to the countryside to farm." Xuanyuan Zili said with an ugly face, ignoring the fact that the dragon robe on his body was still wet, turned around and walked outside.
"You still have to wait for me, and you are not allowed to leave."
