A few days later, the servants in the harem quietly spread rumors about the scandal that the eldest princess had secretly seduced the emperor.
In the queen's palace, Wang Xiulin and Huang Fanyi were sipping famous tea and eating fried shrimps, chatting happily.
Huang Fan'er looked at her happy expression, and it seemed that she was not at all affected by the scandal spread in the harem.
"What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with your eyes? Are you staring at me to drink tea? Although I also know that my beauty is outstanding, you don't have to be so obsessed with it." Wang Xiulin said.
Huang Fan'er smiled and said: "Yes, you are so beautiful that I can't take my eyes away from your beauty. Even the tea has become more fragrant."
"I thought you were going to ask about the scandal about the Holy Emperor, but you don't even care about me." Wang Xiulin said deliberately. She didn't care about the matter, she was just curious about what Huang Fanyi would think.
"Are you unhappy? Are you still nostalgic for the emperor?" Huang Fan'er asked tentatively.
Wang Xiulin held her cheek, tilted her head, and faced him with a sweet smile. She did not answer.
Looking at this smile, I felt that I had given him a promise.
However, Huang Fan'er was a little jealous and asked: "Compared with Brother Huang, if you like me again at first, who would you choose first?"
"Is this promise important?" Wang Xiulin asked.
"I want to know." Huang Fan'er turned his head slightly and said.
Ever since Wang Xiulin got together with Huang Fan'er, she especially liked him when he had a little awkwardness and found him very cute. She was so in love with him. Unfortunately, Huang Fan'er didn't know that he had reached a high-level position in her heart.
.Like now, I compare myself with Huang Chenling from time to time.
Wang Xiulin deliberately angered him and said, "The only one you still have to choose is Brother Chenling. He will always be better than you."
"Pretend I haven't asked." Huang Fan'er picked up the tea without interest and drank it in one gulp. Then, the spicy and salty taste in the tea made him choke.
"Cough! Cough cough cough! You added salt and pepper!"
When he wasn't paying attention, Wang Xiulin poured the salt and pepper ingredients for fried shrimp into his teacup, trying to tease him.
However, Huang Fan'er should not eat anything too spicy, as it may induce his stridor attack.
"Cough cough cough! Cough!" He hurriedly picked up the backup medicine in his pocket and took it. Seeing this, Wang Xiulin became worried and nervously helped him smooth his back and asked: "Did I make your asthma attack?"
?What’s up, can you breathe?”
After Huang Fan'er breathed smoothly, he said weakly: "I often feel like this. I can't eat too spicy food because my trachea will be intolerable."
"Okay, okay, I won't dare anymore. Sorry, are you okay? Do you want to ask Dr. Li to come over and take a look?" Wang Xiulin was still worried to death and said.
"It'll be fine if you can breathe smoothly. I will never be as good as the emperor. Just because of my disease, I can no longer compare with him." Huang Fan'er became more and more conceited as he spoke.
Wang Xiulin hugged him quickly and coaxed: "No, what I just said is nonsense, you are much better than Brother Chenling, and his advantages are like dirt in my eyes now. You have to tell me more, you can't
I have to remember clearly what to eat and what to pay attention to, so as not to make you feel uncomfortable again. I will feel bad when I see you feeling uncomfortable."
After she finished speaking, she kissed the side of Huang Fan's face sweetly.
Huang Guiyuan, who was standing by the wooden pillar, didn't want to disturb their sweetness. However, there was something that Wang Xiulin needed to do personally.
"Cough! Cough!" Huang Guiyuan pretended to cough, reminding Wang Xiulin to take a look.
Wang Xiulin heard Huang Guiyuan's cough, slightly let go of Huang Fan'er, and said, "Father, didn't you come here the day before yesterday? Now you're here again."
"Do you think I'm here too often? Have I disturbed your enjoyment?" Huang Guiyuan said with some displeasure.
"Hehe, no. What's the matter, foster father? Sit down." Wang Xiulin went over to help him sit down and poured him a cup of tea.
"You have to hear the scandals and rumors in the harem. Do you know what to do?" Huang Guiyuan took the tea, took a sip and asked.
"I know. Just pretend you can't hear me. I won't be angry anyway. For me, this matter is no more than a nosy matter. I won't spend time paying attention to it." Wang Xiulin put his hands on his hips and said.
"Of course it's not like this!" Huang Guiyuan was a little annoyed by her. He continued: "As a queen, you should immediately stop these scandals and rumors, and seize those who spread the rumors to question. But what?
Don’t even do it, just pretend you don’t hear it.”
Wang Xiulin said helplessly: "Father, I don't even like brother Chen Ling anymore. He was hanging out with that Yan Ruocheng and was seen by the servants. Why should I clean up the mess? I still want to say that they deserve it!"
Huang Guiyuan explained: "If you use your status as a queen to settle this matter, it will show that you, the queen, have a noble status and moral character. When the time comes, I will arrange for Chen Ling to reconcile with you. It will also be seen as a change of heart.
Abandoning such a good queen is enough to silence the gossips of those ministers. You can also escape with integrity. I just want you to behave like a queen and show your proper style to the harem."
"It's really troublesome, but according to your analysis, adoptive father, it must be right. Well, I will arrest those servants who talk too much." Wang Xiulin didn't quite understand, but after Huang Guiyuan analyzed it, it would be natural
It was no problem, so she agreed easily.
"Okay, please continue slowly, don't hurt yourself too much." Huang Guiyuan stood up and went over to pat Huang Fan'er on the shoulder.
Huang Fan'er nodded awkwardly and said, "Second Emperor Uncle, you should also take care of yourself."
Huang Guiyuan changed from patting to squeezing his shoulders, and said closer, "Treat my adopted daughter well. If you make her cry, I won't be lenient."
Wang Xiulin quickly slapped away Huang Guiyuan's big hand, protected Huang Fan'er and said, "Father, you squeezed so hard that it hurts. His body is not intact yet."
"Look at you, girl! It's true! If you have a man you like, but I am your adopted father, I really dote on you for nothing!" Huang Guiyuan stretched out his hand and pinched her ear.
"Father, I know I was wrong. Stop pinching me. It's very painful." Wang Xiulin begged for mercy urgently.
"I'm leaving. I still have something to do. Once it's done, someone will come and tell me."
"Okay, walk slowly."
After Huang Guiyuan left, Wang Xiulin stayed by Huang Fan'er's side, wanting to continue what he had just unfinished.
Huang Fan'er asked: "Aren't you going to do the things your adoptive father has assigned you? I think it would be easier to catch those people as soon as the rumors start spreading. Otherwise, as time goes by, the more people spread the rumors, the more people will spread the rumors."
It’s hard to find.”
Wang Xiulin felt that what he said was right, so he stood up reluctantly and said, "You are right too. It's really annoying, and it messed up our sweet time. I'm going to give Yan Ruocheng a lesson."
Huang Fan'er chuckled lightly and said, "Hahaha, I finally understand why Ruocheng is so afraid of you?"
"Ruoqi? Even if you call her, it's quite intimate." Wang Xiulin glanced at Huang Fanyi.
"No, I called her wrong at the moment. She should be the eldest emperor's sister-in-law. I'm not familiar with her, so don't misunderstand me." Huang Fan'er quickly explained.
"Forget it, I'm sorry you don't dare. I'll help you go back to bed and lie down to rest first. I'll be back with you later."
"OK, all right."
In the palace of the eldest prince, Yan Ruocheng was holding the freshly steamed bean paste and osmanthus cake, intending to use it to coax Huang Fengmo.
Early in the morning, some palace maids spread the news about her tryst with Huang Chenling, and the news suddenly reached Huang Fengmo's ears.
However, he refused to eat breakfast because he said he had no appetite, and he still had no appetite for lunch. It was not yet evening, so she steamed his favorite bean paste and osmanthus cake. She wanted to talk to him.
"Put it down. I'll eat it later." Huang Fengmo continued to practice painting, keeping his eyes on the painting and his hand on the pen, and said casually.
"Okay, what scene are you painting?" Yan Ruocheng found a topic to talk about.
"Don't I look good at painting? You can't tell what I'm painting. It seems that my painting skills have deteriorated a lot." He said coldly.
"No, it's very similar. My husband's painting skills are just as superb. Well, the artistic conception of this painting is quite beautiful." Yan Ruocheng looked carefully and saw that he was painting a scene of herself and Chen Ling hugging each other. She saw
Breaking into a cold sweat.
When he was about to finish, Huang Fengmo suddenly put away his brush and angrily splashed the ink on the painting. The whole painting was suddenly stained with ink. Even the bean paste and osmanthus cake that Yan Ruocheng placed next to him was stained with ink.
juice.
Yan Ruozhen saw that he was so angry and didn't know what to say. This time he was much more angry than before. She felt a little scared.
Huang Fengmo looked at the ink-stained painting and began to tear it off frantically, using it to vent his anger.
He tore the painting into shreds. After tearing it up, he angrily tried to stand up, but his legs could not fully exert their strength. When he wanted to stand up, Yan Ruocheng quickly supported him.
He didn't push Yan Ruocheng away, but just said to her: "Help me to the bedside."
Yan Ruozhen nodded and slowly helped him move. When the two of them moved to the bed, Huang Fengmo suddenly pushed her down on the bed.
He pressed her down on the bed with his whole body. Yan Ruocheng did not resist and stared at him quietly.
"Husband, I know you are angry. I'm sorry that I let my servants see it and embarrass you." She said slowly.
"I'm not angry because of embarrassment." Huang Fengmo said. He sighed, let go of her hand, and sat on the edge of the bed instead.
Yan Ruozhen also sat up and whispered: "My feelings for Chen Ling have not changed."
"I know, you don't need to remind me." Huang Fengmo said.
The two of them had zero communication for the rest, and each was troubled by their own inner problems.
"Husband, I'm going to ask the servants to come in and clean up."
"OK."
Yan Ruocheng went out and closed the door, then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister-in-law Yan Huang!" Wang Xiulin didn't know when she came, so she stepped out and called her.
"See the Queen." Yan Ruocheng saluted.
"Come with me, let's go to the imperial garden to discuss some things." Wang Xiulin said.
