In a time of peace and prosperity, it is also prosperous at night.
On the way back to the palace, the emperor asked Yu Deshui: "Did you give the gift I asked you to give?"
Yu Deshui said quickly: "My servant has given it to Young Master Lu Chengxi as a birthday gift in person. The Young Master liked it very much and asked if it was the crown prince's brother who picked it. My servant told him that it was."
The emperor asked again: "Then what did you say to Mrs. Lu? Did the emperor see it?"
Jiang Qing's eyes widened at the side, thinking to herself, does the emperor still care about this matter?
But Yu Deshui hesitated and looked at her cautiously.
Jiang Qing felt nervous and asked quickly: "Do you still have something to do with me??"
Yu Deshui sneered and whispered: "Mrs. Lu asked if you and the emperor had a quarrel, why didn't you talk at the same time. I said no way, the emperor and the imperial concubine are getting along well, that's all!"
Jiang Qing: "..."
emperor:"……"
Both of them were quite unnatural, but they didn't feel like they were quarreling with each other. They felt that each other was very nice.
However, somehow, the awkward atmosphere slowly came over.
Yu Deshui coughed lightly and whispered: "Mrs. Lu said that she will go to the Taoist temple in a few days to ask for a peace charm. Then she will ask the emperor and the empress for one each, and then ask the emperor and the empress to wear it.
Don’t touch the peace charm with water, otherwise it will have no effect.”
The emperor said: "I know, you can come out of the palace to get it when the time comes."
Yu Deshui responded happily and quickly retreated out of the car.
The emperor leaned lightly against the wall of the carriage, seeming a little tired.
Jiang Qing sat closer, pressed his forehead, and said, "Cousin, please lean on me and sleep for a while. We won't be here for a while."
The emperor only felt that as soon as her little hand touched him, his body became very stiff, not feeling well at all.
However, when he wanted to refuse, what came to his lips was an inaudible hum. Even he felt surprised.
Jiang Qing thought he agreed, so she held his head and exerted slight pressure, and the emperor naturally followed her.
Then, he tilted his body and slowly lay down, with his headrest resting on her legs.
This posture seemed a bit intimate no matter how you looked at it. He simply closed his eyes and pretended that he was unconscious.
Seeing that he didn't even want to open his eyes, Jiang Qing thought he had a headache caused by drunkenness. While pressing him gently, she whispered softly: "Don't you know to leave early if you have a headache? You are the emperor.
What do they dare to do?"
"I saw Mr. Lu running very fast and carrying the baby out. But Mr. Lu was also very funny. The ones he hugged were not Chengxi and Xinran. Mrs. Lu asked him and he said they borrowed them."
The emperor was very happy to hear her voice. He opened his eyes and said, "I only had one drink..."
However, when he glanced upward, he saw her uneven curves, a slight smile, and a gentle and bright look on her lower jaw.
Unconsciously, the emperor felt so bored that he wanted to reach out and pull off his clothes.
But he just closed his eyes again and slowly adjusted his breathing.
Jiang Qing didn't believe it, how could one drink cause a headache?
The emperor said: "Maybe there is a cool breeze blowing."
Jiang Qing thought, that is possible.
While continuing to press, she said: "Then go back and drink a bowl of the decoction that Mrs. Lu gave me to strengthen your body and strengthen your body before going to bed."
The emperor smiled and said, "I understand."
Seeing that the emperor was so cooperative, Jiang Qing was embarrassed to continue talking.
In the slightly stagnant air, there was an ambiguous atmosphere. Almost as soon as he noticed it, the emperor asked: "What do you think of Gao Xian?"
Jiang Qing quickly said: "He was demoted from the capital and still came back. He seems to be a capable person. He is also the disciple of the old master, so his background is naturally stronger than other officials. If he is worthy of Princess Yanyang, he can barely match it."
Let’s get through it.”
The emperor said: "Everyone in the world thinks so."
Jiang Qing heard the unusual meaning in the emperor's tone and asked, "Isn't it good?"
The emperor said: "Okay, but this kind of good is illusory and not pragmatic."
"One person's kindness to another person requires careful care and care, such as Lu Yunhong and Wang Xiu, Pei Shan and Xu Yanxin... Look at how good they are with each other, it is natural."
"If you look at other people, your husband's whispered greetings when you go out, and your respectful attitude in front of others, it just reflects alienation and indifference."
"I'm worried that Yanyang's marriage will not be as happy as the emperor thinks."
Jiang Qing said: "The emperor cares too much about Princess Yanyang. In fact, there are so many people around her who care about and take care of her. It doesn't matter whether Mr. Gao is thoughtful or meticulous. If he is a good person, he won't think about it.
I left Princess Yanyang in the cold, and after a long time, the two of them have children, and they will definitely respect and love each other like family members."
After hearing this, the emperor sat up unexpectedly, and his hair accidentally brushed Jiang Qing's chest. Jiang Qing looked at him with lingering fear, stiff and at a loss.
The emperor also felt that he was a little reckless. After sitting up, he helped Jiang Qing and said, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Qing shook her head and quickly lowered her gaze, her cheeks flushed and her eyes sparkling.
The emperor coughed slightly and said slowly: "I just think what you said makes sense, but I am too demanding."
Jiang Qing said: "How could it be possible? The emperor just thinks far ahead, so he is worried."
"But Princess Yanyang is still so young, and she is a royal princess. If her life is not good, she will come back with Li at the worst possible time. I believe that the prince and princess will still treat her like jewels."
The emperor said: "It's not as simple as you think. Yanyang's temperament is different from that of the eldest sister. The eldest sister knows right from wrong and is not easily influenced by others. Yanyang is softer and not tough in character."
"In other words, it's easy to control."
Jiang Qing couldn't care less about being shy, raised her head, nervously held the emperor's hand and said, "What should we do?"
Seeing her worry, the emperor patted her hand reassuringly and said, "I was just saying casually. Gao Xian is not the one who dares to bully Yanyang. Don't worry, I will take care of you in everything."
After Jiang Qing heard this, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
But the blush on his face has not gone away, and the light in his eyes is shining with a ray of tears, crystal clear and unforgettable.
The emperor really wanted to reach out and pinch her little face. It looked so soft and waxy, and she looked so easy to bully.
When Jiang Qing let go of his wrist, he couldn't help but look at the folds on it, feeling disappointed.
Jiang Qing thought she was blaming her for wrinkles, so she hurriedly went to help tidy up.
But the emperor suddenly held her hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I didn't mean that. I just..."
Just what?
The emperor paused and took back the next words.
Jiang Qing blushed again. She moved her fingers and broke free from the emperor's hand.
They still sat next to each other like that, but didn't say anything else?
I just felt a faint burning sensation in my wrist, as if something had burned me, and the throbbing feeling spread to my heart.
One of them was stroking his fingers, feeling emotional, but he didn't dare to face himself like this, so he could only lower his eyes and follow the carriage gently swaying all the way, feeling panicked.
