Chapter 10 Pampering
As the day of the election is getting closer, the queen is working on the election every day. In comparison, Chen Chang'an is unwilling to interfere in this matter. It is too sad to take care of her husband so much, Chang'an thought. So she had a leisure time, enjoying flowers and painting every day, and the days passed day by day.
On the eve of the election, the emperor was going to stay at the queen by the rules, and Chang'an felt a little unhappy. She vaguely felt that this was probably the last night she could be free in the harem. The newcomers would enter the palace tomorrow. No matter how confident she was, those outstanding girls would become layers of layers between her and Chu Luo, and they would not be able to be as before.
She suddenly remembered the night before she entered the palace.
At that time, they returned from the Shen family, and Chu Luo held hands with Chang'an and talked at night. He said that he would live up to her in his life, and she believed it completely.
Chang'an looked a little dazed when he thought of this. She couldn't wait to see Chu Luo immediately, but suddenly realized that she could no longer be able to do so. She was no longer in the palace. If she thought of him, she could knock on his door in the middle of the night and throw herself into his arms and act like a spoiled person.
Chu Luo won't come tonight.
Thinking of this, Chang'an also got up and called the cold smoke at the door.
The person who came in smelled the sound was the incense of the night.
"Empress, I am a servant watching the night." She smiled coincidentally.
"Oh—" Chang'an calmed down and said, "You should accompany me to Fengluan Palace."
Wanxiang was also surprised, "Empress, it's almost three o'clock now, and the Empress is probably already resting at this time."
Chang'an waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I won't alarm the queen, just accompany me to go there."
After the incense of the night was over, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He hurriedly took a shiba and put it on Chang'an, and went to Fengluan Palace with his companions.
Fengluan Palace is hundreds of meters away from Chonghua Palace. It is already late at night. Chang'an is unwilling to ride in a sedan chair. It is already the third update when he walks to Fengluan Palace.
The night at the sky steps is as cool as water, red candles swaying inside the house, and outside the house is quiet.
Chang'an stood outside Fengluan Palace for a long time. Eunuch Shao, who was watching the night in the palace, was shocked when he saw Chang'an, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Why is the Empress Xian coming at this time? The Empress has already rested. If there is anything, the Empress will tell the slave. I will report to the Empress tomorrow."
Chang'an smiled, "Your Majesty has also rested at this time?"
"Emperor..." Eunuch Shao hesitated for a moment and replied respectfully, "The emperor will rest in Mingde Palace this night."
"Oh?" Chang'an's eyes lit up and he smiled slightly, "I understand. I'm working hard."
Eunuch Shao made a sign and left. Wanxiang gently said in Chang'an's ear, "Empress, we are going..."
"Go to Mingde Palace."
Chang'an rarely visited Mingde Palace. Mingde Palace is where the emperor deals with political affairs on weekdays. Chang'an knew that since Chu Luo ascended the throne, there had been constant disputes in the previous dynasty, so she must not be willing to come here to disturb him on weekdays.
The main hall of Mingde Palace is covered with yellow glazed tiles, green edges are inlaid with green cut edges, and the top of the flame bead in the middle. There are eight iron chains around the top of the treasure roof each connected to the strongman. There are two corners of the moon platform in front of the hall, a sundial is set in the east, and a Jialiang is set in the west. The pillars of the hall are connected by a carved dragon. The dragon head is poked out of the eaves, and the dragon tail is straight into the hall. The practicality and decoration are perfectly combined into one, increasing the imperial spirit of the palace. Only at this moment can Chang'an truly feel that the man she married is the emperor of this world.
The hall was brightly lit, and He Sheng and Cheng Dehai, who were beside the emperor, stood at the door. When they saw Chang'an, they hurriedly asked her about her.
"Have you rested?"
"Return to the Empress Xian Concubine, the emperor is still placing official documents in it at this time."
Chang'an nodded, "I will go in and take a look, there is no need to spread it."
The two of them put a curtain on each other. Chang'an just entered, and Wanxiang didn't follow him anymore, but just waited at the door with He Sheng and Cheng Dehai.
In the hall, Chu Luo was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, sitting upright on the dragon chaise, with a jade-like carving look. His sword eyebrows were even more charming to his heroic spirit. His thin lips were tightly pursed and his brows were frowning, as if he was worried about something, but this frowning made people feel even more awe from the bottom of his heart.
Chang'an approached and called him softly, "Emperor..."
When Chu Luo heard the sound, he looked up and saw that it was Chang'an. His frown brows suddenly stretched out, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but smile, "Why are you here?"
Chang'an smiled gently, "When I think of the emperor, come and have a look."
"Come here." Chu Luo stretched out his hand and held her slender jade fingers, pulled her to her side, feeling the chill in her hands, Xuan's eyebrows frowned again, "Why is it so cold?"
Chang'an did not realize that he pulled his hand back and smiled slightly, "Your Majesty is so late but you are not asleep?"
Chu Luo's eyebrows were gentle, "Aren't you not sleeping?" He looked around, then smiled suddenly, and joked at Chang'an, "I came here empty-handedly?"
Chang'an was stunned for a moment. Seeing Chu Luo's smirk, he simply turned his head away and said angrily, "I didn't mean to come here at first. I just couldn't sleep and walked around at night. Seeing that the lights on Mingde Palace were still on, I came in."
Seeing her like this, Chu Luo felt even more amused and said, "Didn't you just say that you came to see it because you thought of me..."
Chang'an blushed, stood up suddenly from Chu Luo, and said stubbornly, "I didn't say that just now!"
Chu Luo smiled and pulled her, "Sit down." Chang'an sat quietly next to Chu Luo again. Chu Luo hugged her with one hand and looked through a stack of memoirs on the case with the other.
Chang'an was curious and took a look. Seeing that the report on the election was reported directly above, he felt sad and said, "Tomorrow is the day of the election..."
Chu Luo responded with a faint "hmm" above her.
Chang'an said again, "Today I saw the eunuchs leading a group of beautiful girls to the palace. There were so many outstanding looks..."
Chu Luo burst into laughter, "Are you afraid that you can't compare to them?"
"If you can compare, it's not the emperor who has the final say." Chang'an sighed, "Those girls are so beautiful, it's inevitable that the emperor will not care about it."
Chu Luo's face sank slightly, "You actually think of me like this?"
Chang'an looked at him without saying a word.
"Chang'an." Chu Luo hugged her in his arms and sighed softly, "No matter what happens, my heart will always be with you. No matter how many people have entered the harem, it has nothing to do with you or me."
