Late at night, in the quiet Qianqing Palace, a few coughs could occasionally be heard. A gold-plated copper dragon candle hung on the wall. The candle was about to burn out, and the light it emitted was so weak that it was about to go out.
Lu Dehai wanted to order people to replace the candlesticks with new ones several times, but looking at Zhu Jingyu hidden in the darkness, he suddenly felt that this might be what the emperor wanted.
Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve at the end of every year. Most of the ministers in the DPRK and the Central Government are rushing to the palace banquet in the evening, but for Zhu Jingyu, he has no time to spare all day long. At the beginning of the year, he has to go to the temple to worship his ancestors. Ancestor Huang, you should rest early tonight.
But no matter what year it was, the night before the ancestor worship, Zhu Jingyu would sit on the dragon throne and stay up all night until the next day. Lu Dehai was too lazy to persuade him before, but now he doesn't want to.
He picked up the purse in his arms. When Chu Xiugong's Shuangfu brought these pitiful bags of broken silver, he still felt funny. In these years, it was the first time that Lu Dehai had received so little filial piety, but his The steps were still forward gently, and he began to approach the Luan Seat.
Having served Zhu Jingyu for more than ten years, Lu Dehai knew very well that the emperor was gentle in front of others, but gloomy and reserved behind others, but he rarely punished others. His emotions seemed to always be punishing himself.
So when he saw Zhu Jingyu¡¯s gentle look in his arms in the small west-facing courtyard of Chuxiu Palace, he felt that he had gotten to know the emperor for the first time in more than ten years.
Lu Dehai walked to the golden desk and his thoughts stopped abruptly.
"Your Majesty, the arrangements for the concubines to be invited to tomorrow's dinner have been made. Do you want to take a look at them?"
"No need." Zhu Jingyu's slightly hoarse voice came out from behind the table.
Lu Dehai paused for a moment and said, "My maid, I saw that Zhang Xuong, who you liked very much from Chu Xiugong a few days ago, is not on the list. Maybe I am afraid that I missed it before."
"I don't need her to go."
There is no need for her to get involved in the abyss that belongs to him.
In the harem, anyone who gets too close to him will be targeted by Zhang Huaian and the others.
He is weak and has no ability to protect himself. Without Qin Yan, he would be useless. Even during those days when he visited Danxin frequently, he could only continue to canonize other beautiful women to reduce Zhang Yue'er's possible investigation.
So he is really useless. Fortunately, she doesn't like him.
"Lu Dehai, help me check something out."
"yes."
The palace banquet has its own rules. According to the ancestral system, it is just a cycle every year. The foreign women sent from foreign countries in the harem have already filled several palace gardens.
At midnight, the bell rang three times and the palace banquet was over. Zhu Jingyu's handsome face was drunk because he drank some wine, and his face no longer looked so pale.
Lu Dehai helped him out of the Donghua Hall. The cold wind penetrated the canopy and hit Zhu Jingyu's face, blowing away the faint red clouds. The collar of the mink fur cloak and the silver velvet diagonal cut on the chin were clear-cut.
"Your Majesty, are we going back to Qianqing Hall now?"
"Let's go to Guiren Shen's place for a walk." Zhu Jingyu glanced at the dark figure behind him from the corner of his eye and said in a deep voice.
"yes."
Lu Dehai thought to himself that Shen Guiren was pregnant and was about to give birth and could not attend the palace banquet. The emperor's first child would be different after all.
In the Fuliu Hall, the original candlelight had dimmed, but with the advance notification from the palace officials, Shen Ruoliu got up to change clothes and ordered the palace maid Xiaoxiang to light the candle again.
She was slightly fatter and stood at the entrance of the palace wearing a dark chrome-gold palace dress, holding her waist and stroking her belly to welcome the Holy Emperor.
Until she saw that bright yellow figure approaching, she felt slightly blessed.
"I, my concubine, are here to see the Emperor."
"Get up."
Zhu Jingyu glanced at her, spoke calmly, and then walked into the dormitory, while Lu Dehai was waiting outside the hall as usual.
Shen Ruoliu dismissed all the palace people, supported the table and said softly,
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
She had a lot to thank. At first, she loved her cousin who was in the Imperial Guard, but was forced by her father to marry into the palace.
It was easy to dredge people, met his cousin, and was hit by the emperor.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out ??that they were saved, and now they are even protecting their child. Otherwise, with her and her cousin's family background, how would they be able to protect a child?
Since she was pregnant, everything she ate has been carefully checked. Several times she almost had an accident, but someone showed up in time.
She can understand the simplest truth.??The reason why they protected this unrelated child was to balance some forces in the court, but no matter what, she was favored.
Zhu Jingyu did not respond to her thanks, "I will stay for another half an hour and then leave."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After saying this, he didn't look at her again. After waiting for the time to come, he called Lu Dehai in, sealed the reward as usual, and left Fuliu Hall.
The night was as dark as ink, and Zhu Jingyu walked very slowly when he returned to his dormitory, especially when passing by Chuxiu Palace.
"Your Majesty, are you going back to your bedroom directly?"
"Um."
Lu Dehai looked at his slow steps forward, lowered his head and reached into his sleeve pocket a few times, took out the money bag given by Shuangfu, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, look at this."
Zhu Jingyu stopped, looked back, lowered his eyes and asked Lu Dehai, "What is this?"
***
From the beginning of the palace banquet, Zhang Yue'er moved a low stool and sat under the stone corridor not far from the entrance of the courtyard.
She wore a new pink rosy skirt and a crescent-white cloak, and her almond-shaped eyes reflected the lights on the corners, shining brightly.
Shuangfu looked at the tip of Zhang Yue'er's nose which was red from the cold and the hands outside the cloak, and couldn't help but said: "Master, can I fetch you a soft blanket and cover it with you?"
Zhang Yue'er lowered her head and looked at the newly put on clothes, shook her head, "Shuangfu, go to bed."
It¡¯s been a long time since she last saw her. After taking a bath today, she even changed into new clothes. She didn¡¯t want the emperor to see that she didn¡¯t look good in her clothes.
Shuangfu sighed, "Master, midnight is almost over, don't wait, the emperor won't come."
"He will come."
On that rainy day, what she heard in the garden overlapped with the dark color in Zhu Jingyu's eyes occasionally. Whether it was true or not, she wanted to see him.
She thought that she must like the emperor, otherwise why would she feel pain in her heart.
"Shuangfu, I must wait for him to come. I have something to say to him. If he doesn't come, I will keep waiting."
"If the money is not enough, I will save it and ask Eunuch Lu again."
Zhang Yue'er smiled, with a small dimple at the corner of her mouth, "Anyway, I have nothing to do on weekdays, so it doesn't matter how long I wait."
Zhu Jingyu stood outside the door with his back turned. The timidity in his heart made him stand there for half an hour.
Until he heard what she said, Zhu Jingyu couldn't control himself, stood sideways at the door and stepped into the threshold.
He cleared his throat, Zhang Yue'er stood up quickly upon hearing the sound, the expression on her face instantly turned to surprise.
"You, what do you have to say¡ª¡ª" you want to tell me.
Zhu Jingyu's words were stuck in his throat, and he suddenly felt a collision in his arms, which shocked him and took a step back. When he lowered his head again, he saw Zhang Yue'er's clear smiling eyes.
Zhang Yue'er's movements were too fast. In just two breaths, Zhu Jingyu felt the softness in his arms, and his hands were so stiff that he didn't know where to put them.
Her hair, with its pleasant fragrance, was blown up by the wind and floated on his chin, making it tickle, but he suddenly felt scared.
"Don't touch me, I'm very dirty." He started to try to push away.
However, the soft yet stubborn hands on his body held him tightly and refused to let go, as if they were stuck to his body.
Zhang Yue'er raised her head from Zhu Jingyu's stiff arms, smiling brightly, and looked at him like that,
"Well, I know, but I've already hugged you, so let's get dirty together from now on."
"you you"
Zhu Jingyu was hugged by her and was so stiff that he couldn't say a complete sentence, but her next sentence continued to thunder and lightning in his ears.
She said, "Your Majesty, I like you." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
