Chapter 11: Is Your Majesty Tired of Acting?
"The queen is my wife, if there is nothing important, there is no need to make such a big gift to me." Yan Chujing first took a deep breath to suppress his emotions, and then pretended to forget Fang Cai's weird scene, and bent down to help Chi Xinian up.
When the person stood up straight, he also regained his disguise, personally untied the rope of his sleeve for her, and tidied up the palace clothes.
He dragged Chi Xinian all the way to the table in the hall and sat down, and gave Li Fusheng a look, and asked him to lead the palace people to serve the food as soon as possible.
At the end, he gently sandwiched some dishes for Chi Xinian: "I heard that at noon today, Concubine Shu didn't come to see you?" ”
"Your Majesty is here for this?" As soon as Chi Xinian picked up the chopsticks, she heard Yan Chujing mention the matter of Concubine Shu, she put the chopsticks back in their place, and sat sideways facing Yan Chujing.
Suddenly seeing her so serious, Yan Chujing's action of picking up vegetables also paused.
The tip of the chopsticks turned and he sandwiched another rib for her, and then he curled his lips and explained: "I just heard about it on the way here, so I just asked." ”
After thinking about it, he also said: "After all, according to the rules, she should come to see you." If she doesn't come, it's her fault. ”
That's the attitude.
He made it clear that he was on Chi Xinian's side.
But his move of not hesitating to take a stand not only did not impress Chi Xinian, but made her fall into contemplation.
After a long time, she spoke up again: "Your Majesty just heard a rumor that Concubine Shu had never come to see her on the way, and concluded that this matter is Concubine Shu's fault?" ”
"Or else?" Yan Chujing tilted his head and asked, "The rules in the palace are there, she has not acted according to the rules, and it is also a fact that she is disrespectful to you, so I naturally conclude that this matter is her fault." ”
As he spoke, he slowed down his tone again and said softly: "I know that the queen is generous and generous, and she doesn't want to hold on to Concubine Shu's mistakes. But there are some things that you don't mean you can keep her harmonious in one step.
"If you think that you will come forward in person, I will punish her on your behalf. In short, you can't be wronged in vain, right? ”
When the words fell, Yan Chujing was about to summon Li Fusheng to come forward to listen to the order.
Seeing this, Chi Xinian hurriedly stopped him: "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry to discuss right and wrong in advance, the concubine has other things I want to talk to you about." ”
"What's the matter?" Yan Chujing paused.
Chi Xinian pursed his lips and took the lead in waving away the palace people.
Seeing her like this, Yan Chujing couldn't help frowning slightly-what did she mean by this? His partiality was clearly written on his face, but she not only asked questions, but also stopped him from standing up for her?
Is this a reluctance to accept his kindness?
If you don't accept kindness, why do you want to call all the palace people out?
Yan Chujing instinctively realized that something was wrong, so he also put down his chopsticks and asked tentatively: "The queen didn't let me punish Concubine Shu for you, is it soft-hearted, or... Didn't I help you get justice in the first place? ”
He couldn't figure out her thoughts, so he could only come up with two reasons at random to lead her to speak from her heart.
But after Chi Xinian heard this, he did not give a reason.
She just sighed lightly and asked rhetorically: "Is Your Majesty tired of acting?" ”
Tired of acting?!
Yan Chujing's eyelids trembled suddenly, and his heartbeat missed half a beat.
It took almost all his strength to control it, and he didn't let himself show his gaffe at this moment.
"What nonsense is the queen talking about? What am I doing? He forced a smile and tested the temperature of the pool with the back of his hand.
It's as if he's really an innocent person.
