"You know, you bumped your teeth, right?" Princess Shou smiled even more.
Zhao Ye didn't know how to argue, so he just said: "Sister-in-law, please don't make fun of me."
"Okay, as long as we know it." King Shou pulled Princess Shou over and said, "He is thin-skinned, stop talking."
The two sat down on the soft couch by the west window, and Zhao Zhicai sat back in front of the desk again.
"Brother Six Emperors." King Shou suppressed his smile: "Although we are engaged, you still can't be too intimate with each other.
Now, not only the fifth emperor brother is restless, but the third emperor brother is also taking action.
I'm afraid that if they see that you care about Li Can, they will hurt her."
"I know." Zhao Zhen nodded slightly.
"Have you sent someone to keep an eye on the Third Emperor's brother?" King Shou looked at him and asked.
"Yeah." Zhao Zong nodded.
"They are all restless, so you need to pay more attention." King Shou thought about it and said, "Where Li Can is, your sister-in-law will help you stay with her."
"Thank you, Madam-in-law." Zhao Ye looked at Princess Shou.
"What's the point?" Princess Shou said with a full smile: "From now on, we are all sisters-in-law, as we should."
When she said this, Zhao Zong refused to speak again, making the couple laugh again.
＊
Before nightfall, Emperor Qianyuan arrived at Ninghe Palace.
Today's Ninghe Palace is extremely lively. When you enter the door, you can see that all the lights inside and outside the palace are on, illuminating the open space in front of the palace.
The maids came back and forth, carrying all kinds of delicacies to the main hall.
"His Majesty……"
A palace maid saw Emperor Qianyuan and was eager to salute.
Emperor Qianyuan raised his hand to stop him and went up to the corridor with a smile.
Today, the marriage between Li Can and Zhao Zhen was decided. Concubine Chen was obviously very happy and had prepared so many dishes. She must be waiting for him to come over for dinner.
He stepped in quickly and saw that Concubine Chen was already sitting at the table. She had a pair of chopsticks, a bowl, a wine flask and a wine cup. She was not waiting for him.
He suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.
"His Majesty."
Nafu and others saluted.
When Concubine Chen saw him, she put down her wine cup and bowed: "I have met your Majesty."
Concubine Chen's posture is dignified, virtuous, gentle and generous, and she is no longer the one who made him look bad a few days ago.
"Concubine Chen is having dinner herself?" Emperor Qianyuan showed a slight smile again: "Why don't you wait for me to come with you?"
"I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming." Concubine Chen lowered her head and said, "I have already used all the dishes on this table. Your Majesty, why not go to someone else's place..."
"It doesn't matter." Emperor Qianyuan shook his robe and sat down: "You also sit down, I will join you."
As he said this, he ordered Nafu: "Bring me a pair of bowls and chopsticks."
"Yes." Nafu bowed his head and responded.
Concubine Chen said nothing and sat down again without looking at him.
"Is my beloved concubine happy today?" Emperor Qianyuan asked her, holding up his chopsticks.
"Naturally." Concubine Chen replied lightly.
He was very cheerful at first, but when he saw Emperor Qianyuan, he was no longer so cheerful.
"How about I stay at your place today?" Emperor Qianyuan came closer and looked at her with a smile.
Concubine Chen lowered her eyes: "Your Majesty, please finish dinner first and then talk."
"No." Emperor Qianyuan put down his chopsticks: "You promised me that once the matter between Xin'er and Ze Yu is settled, you won't drive me away."
"Your Majesty will not change it again?" Concubine Chen raised her eyes to look at him.
"Change what?" Emperor Qianyuan was stunned for a moment.
Concubine Chen ignored him.
Emperor Qianyuan understood: "Do you doubt that I will regret Xin'er's marriage to Ze Yu?
In your eyes, am I so capricious?"
He was so innocent. How had he ever thought about it like this?
"Otherwise?" Concubine Chen raised her eyelids and glanced at him.
Emperor Qianyuan smiled sarcastically.
At the beginning, when he expressed his feelings to Concubine Chen, he also personally promised Concubine Chen that as long as she didn't nod, he would never force her.
Later he failed to do it.
But Concubine Chen is too vindictive, right? How many years has it been?
Ze Yu is so old, how can he still remember it?
"I don't need to mention the past." Concubine Chen drank a cup of fruit wine and said slowly, "I will only talk about the future."
"Say." Emperor Qianyuan looked like he was listening attentively.
"If Tian Gong can't lead the troops and there is some trouble at the border, Li Yan needs to lead the troops to calm it down." Concubine Chen looked at Emperor Qianyuan: "You won't ruin your heart and Tong Zeyu just because Li Yan has military power.
engagement, right?"
Emperor Qianyuan was stunned for a moment and did not answer immediately.
This made him a little embarrassed.
He could indeed do it, but it was also for the sake of the country. Why couldn't Concubine Chen understand him?
well!
"I knew it." Concubine Chen sneered and took another sip of wine: "Your Majesty, you should go elsewhere."
"No." Emperor Qianyuan immediately expressed his position: "Ze Yu is the prince. How can the prince's engagement be ruined at any time like child's play?"
"Your Majesty, do you really mean what you said?" Concubine Chen tilted her head and looked at him.
She looks a bit like she was when she was young.
Emperor Qianyuan couldn't help but take another look and nodded subconsciously: "Take it seriously, of course you take it seriously."
Just agree first and then we can discuss the matter later.
Concubine Chen raised her hand towards Nafu.
Emperor Qianyuan was wondering what she was doing, so Nafu took out the pen and ink.
"Concubine Chen, what are you..." He was puzzled. He had a good meal, why did Concubine Chen ask someone to get pen and ink?
"Write." Concubine Chen handed the pen to him.
"What to write?" Emperor Qianyuan couldn't help laughing.
"Guarantee." Concubine Chen said three words lightly.
Emperor Qianyuan hesitated: "This...isn't this not good?"
"What?" Concubine Chen held her chin and looked at him: "Your Majesty, you want to keep your words again?"
"How could it be possible? I promised you that I would not let them separate." Emperor Qianyuan took the pen and hesitated to put it down on the paper: "But what does it sound like when written down?
I am the king of a country. If people know it one day, and Concubine Chen holds the letter of guarantee written by me, how will I be the king of this country?"
Isn't this too un-emperor-like?
"As long as your Majesty keeps his word, I can also write a letter of guarantee to ensure that no third person will see what your Majesty wrote tonight." Concubine Chen didn't take it seriously. She picked up the wine cup and spoke slowly: "If your Majesty doesn't
If you are willing to write or not, you are trying to perfunctory me.
Your Majesty also knows what I am like. I have never tolerated sand in my eyes.
Even if His Majesty doesn't write it, it's up to you, but you really don't want to set foot in this Ningheyuan in the future."
Emperor Qianyuan hesitated for a moment and finally compromised: "Okay, I'll write it to you."
He held the pen and wrote a letter of guarantee in just a few breaths and pushed it to Concubine Chen: "Is that all right?"
Concubine Chen took his hand, dipped it in the ink pad box, and pressed it on the signature of the guarantee.
Emperor Qianyuan couldn't laugh or cry: "Concubine Chen is so serious, but she still wants me to press my fingerprints?"
"Otherwise? What if His Majesty defaults on the bill?" Concubine Chen picked up the guarantee letter, blew it on it, and handed it to Nafu with great satisfaction: "Keep it for me."
"Then can I stay tonight?" Emperor Qianyuan asked.
"Well, Your Majesty is the lord of the world. In this harem, His Majesty can go wherever he wants." Concubine Chen smiled, showing the gentle smile she was used to facing him.
Emperor Qianyuan: "..."
You can go wherever you want? Really?
Who drove him out of Ninghe Palace a few days ago, not even letting him enter the main hall.
He held the chopsticks in his right hand, and took Concubine Chen's hand with his left hand.
Concubine Chen slapped him away: "Your Majesty, please enjoy your meal."
Emperor Qianyuan looked at her and smiled, then took her hand.
Concubine Chen raised her eyes to look at him. The dog was really annoyed. He held hands all the way through the meal. She really wanted to kick him away.
But thinking about the guarantee just now, I finally endured it.
That night, Emperor Qianyuan finally stayed in Ninghe Palace as he wished.
