Chapter 177: A companion is like a tiger
This night, Yu Yuanyu slept very peacefully.
But Xiao Ti didn't sleep well.
He dreamed that when he was a child, he was so sick with a fever that he was in a daze, and no one in the princess's house cared for him, so he could only cry and run to his mother, trying to ask her to save him.
When he ran into the bedroom of the eldest princess of Niyang, he saw that the eldest princess of Niyang was doing something with her face.
The two of them turned upside down in bed, and they didn't shy away from others at all, which can be described as extremely arrogant.
That picture was deeply imprinted in Xiao Ti's heart like a soldering iron.
So that after so many years, he can still clearly remember every expression of the eldest princess Niyang when she did that, as well as her exaggerated voice.
She seemed to be enjoying it, but he only felt disgusted.
Because I didn't sleep well, I got up before dawn.
He changed into light clothes and went to the yard to practice knives.
There are no bells and whistles in his knife technique, every move is crisp and neat, the blade is wrapped in cold air, and the grass and blades fly everywhere he passes.
When Yu Huan woke up, it was already bright outside the window.
Xiao Ti took a bath, changed into a navy blue round-necked brocade robe, wore a jade crown on his head, tied a leather belt around his waist, his posture was as tall as pine bamboo, and his eyebrows and eyes were as deep as the starry sky.
He handed a bowl of decoction to Yu Yuan.
"Drank it."
Yu's little face wrinkled, obviously not wanting to drink.
Xiao Ti stared at her and asked seriously, "Do you want me to break your mouth and forcibly pour it on you?" ”
Yu Yuan: "......"
When a normal man sees that his daughter-in-law doesn't want to drink medicine, shouldn't he gently persuade him?
Why did you come to the king of Langjun here and the style of painting changed?
No wonder he looks so handsome and can still be single until now.
Xiao Ti urged: "Drink the medicine while it's hot." ”
Yu's curling eyes rolled.
She didn't care what happened to him before, but in the future, they will live together, and she can't let him continue to be so incomprehensible.
Yu Yuan leaned back, posing as if he was weak and unable to take care of himself.
"But people are not feeling well and can't use their strength, Bao, can you feed me?"
Xiao Ti sat on the edge of the bed, scooped up the decoction with a spoon, and handed it to her mouth.
"Open your mouth."
Yu Yuan stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked the decoction, and was immediately so bitter that he almost cried.
"It's so bitter, don't drink it."
Xiao Ti: "The medicine is bitter, you can endure it and it will pass." ”
Yu Yuan looked at him resentfully: "Of course I know that good medicine is bitter, I say this to let you coax me." ”
Xiao Ti said straightforwardly.
"I'm not going to coax people."
Yu Yuan hummed in a low voice: "But when I was sick and talking nonsense, didn't you just coax me?" ”
Xiao Ti looked serious: "That's not to coax you, those are my sincere words." ”
Yu Yuan: "......"
Damn it! was actually provoked by him.
Xiao Ti continued to feed her medicine.
The medicine was so bitter that she couldn't speak.
She was forced to stop.
After breakfast, Xiao Ti took Yu Yuan into the palace to face the saint.
The carriage travels on the way to the Royal Palace.
Xiao Ti looked at Yu Xuan's calm little face and didn't say a word, and thought she was nervous.
He took the initiative to speak and reassure: "Page, don't be afraid, I will always be by your side, and you will answer whatever the emperor asks you, if you really can't answer, leave it to me, and I will help you." ”
Yu Yuanxuan asked solemnly: "If the emperor asks me when the child in my belly will be born, how should I answer?" ”
Xiao Ti was stunned: "What child?" ”
Yu Yuanxuan reminded: "The emperor made a decree to marry because he listened to rumors and mistakenly thought that I was pregnant with your child." ”
So in the emperor's cognition, she should be pregnant at this time.
Xiao Ti hesitated: "The emperor shouldn't ask about this kind of thing, right?" ”
Yu Yuanyu: "What if he asks?" ”
Xiao Ti fell into deep thought.
The interior of the car became quiet.
When the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, Xiao Ti spoke again.
"If the emperor really asks about pregnancy, you just tell him truthfully that everything is a rumor, and you are not pregnant at all."
Yu Yuan blinked: "Won't the emperor be angry?" ”
Xiao Ti: "The emperor doesn't like others to deceive him the most, as long as you tell the truth, he won't be angry." Even if he's really angry, it's the people who make up the rumors, and it's okay with you. ”
Yu Yuan put his mind at ease: "That's good." ”
The two got out of the carriage and entered the palace hand in hand.
The old emperor was not very comfortable today and canceled the early dynasty.
He was resting in the dormitory, and when he heard that the king of Langjun was coming with the princess of the county, he cheered up and changed his clothes under the service of the palace people.
Yu Yuanxuan and Xiao Ti waited in the side hall for a while before they saw the old emperor appear.
The old emperor is in his fifties this year.
This age is actually not very old, but the age of the previous emperors of the Shen family is not long, the previous emperors have not lived past the age of thirty, and it is rare for the person in front of him to live to be more than fifty years old.
The old emperor wore loose clothes, white temples, wrinkled eyes, a thin face, and a white beard under his chin.
The palace people carefully helped him to the side of the main seat.
When he sat down, Yu Yuan and Xiao Ti stepped forward to salute.
"Wechen/courtiers pay a visit to Your Majesty, please say hello to Your Majesty."
The old emperor smiled at them: "No need to be polite, you all sit down." ”
After Yu Yuanxuan and Xiao Ti sat down, the palace people served refreshments.
The old emperor first asked them about their marriage, and then changed the conversation and asked about Yu Yuan's pregnancy.
Yu Yu was secretly glad.
Thankfully, she had been prepared.
I saw her quickly stand up and explain solemnly.
"The courtier and the prince of the county only knew each other before they got married, and there was no fact of husband and wife, and the fact of pregnancy is nonsense from outsiders."
The old emperor seemed to have known about this for a long time, and instead of being angry, he laughed.
"Don't be nervous, I have already sent someone to investigate, and I know that the pregnancy is a rumor, and you and the king of Langjun are innocent."
Yu Yuanxuan thought to herself, the emperor knew that it was a rumor, and he came to ask her about her pregnancy, obviously deliberately testing her.
If she had said the wrong thing just now, according to the emperor's habit of hating being deceived the most, her life would have to be explained here.
Thinking of this, she was terrified.
As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and the ancients did not deceive her.
The old emperor was obviously very satisfied with Yu Yuanyuan's response to what she said honestly, and cared about her for a few more words before he said.
"I still have some things to talk about with the King of Langjun, you can go to the Queen Mother to sit for a while, the Queen Mother has always wanted to see what the newly married princess of Langjun looks like."
Yu Yuan stood up: "The courtiers retreat." ”
She glanced at Xiao Ti without a trace.
Xiao Ti replied with a soothing look.
Yu Yuan lowered his head and retreated respectfully.
The old emperor put down the teacup, and the smile on his face faded.
"I heard that you are going to release King Min's father and son?"
