Li Xiang looked at her innocent smile and felt a little helpless.
Does the Queen understand the horror of the King's wrath?
Fortunately, the emperor didn't seem to care, he was just a little unhappy. If she was really angered, those hibernating pets would have new food.
"Your Majesty, this is the medicine given to you by the Emperor. Are you going to give it yourself or will a servant do it for you?" Li Xiang's cheeks turned red.
Shangguan Jinxiu opened the bottle, put it between his nose and smelled it, and said, "It's very fragrant. I'll serve it myself!"
With that said, he took some ointment and wiped it on his neck.
"Empress..."
Li Xiang was thinking about how Shangguan Jinxiu just applied it without going under the quilt to cover it, when he saw her applying the ointment to the red mark.
"Your Majesty, this ointment is not meant to be applied here." Li Xiang was embarrassed.
"If it's not here, where is that?" Shangguan Jinxiu was puzzled.
"The place that hurts the most." Li Xiang's cheeks were as red as peaches.
She, a young girl, is really embarrassed to talk about this topic.
However, the master she serves is like a blank sheet of paper. He has experienced everything, but he doesn't understand anything. If she, a palace maid, doesn't teach her, I'm afraid she will be completely confused.
"It hurts the most..." Shangguan Jinxiu pouted, "Here? He bit him here. It hurts so much."
"There are other places." Li Xiang looked at her waist vaguely.
Shangguan Jinxiu hugged herself tightly and slipped into the quilt with a groan, unable to get out.
"Why is he such a rogue?"
Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she finally understood.
After waiting for a while, a muffled voice came from inside: "You...you go out first."
Li Xiang knew that she was thin-skinned and said, "Yes. I will come in later."
After Li Xiang left, Shangguan Jinxiu put down the quilt and exposed her little head.
Her face was rosy and tender, and her clean and clear eyes also had the tenderness of a girl.
"This man is too much."
For several days, Shangguan Jinxiu had been worried about when Fan Yuanxi would appear again.
Li Xiang said that this was something a couple should do, and only by doing this could she be pregnant with Fan Yuanxi's child.
Shangguan Jinxiu asked her if the emperor would do this kind of thing if he took in other concubines.
When Li Xiang said 'yes', she felt a throbbing pain in her heart.
A few days passed, and he did not come to Jinxiu Palace again. Shangguan Jinxiu relaxed again, but for some reason, she couldn't help but look at the door, as if she was expecting something, and as if she was afraid of something.
Why does she have such complicated feelings about her husband?
"I heard that the emperor has been very angry by the ministers in the court recently."
"It's not because of the incident in the Lu Mansion. The ministers in the court said that the queen is from Fenglin Kingdom, and she was the instigator of this incident. She asked the emperor to depose the queen and re-appoint a woman from her own country as the queen."
"What did Mr. Lu say? No matter what, the adults will stand up for Mr. Lu Xuan."
"Prime Minister Lu didn't say anything."
Shangguan Jinxiu listened to the discussion of the palace people, and the cakes in his hands no longer smelled good.
No wonder he hasn't come to the harem recently. It turns out that he was entangled in matters in the court. In other words, he didn't deliberately neglect her, nor was he angry with her.
"Your Majesty, do you want to go and see the Emperor?" Li Xiang came up with an idea from the side, "The Emperor is so worried about your Majesty's affairs. If you give him some food at this time, he will feel better."
"I think it would be good for everyone if he abolished me, put me in the cold palace, and then married another woman to be the queen. I won't fight for favor. As long as I am given a bite to eat, I will stay in the cold palace obediently.
"
"Empress, you are so generous, but the new queen may not be so generous. Which woman is not jealous? You are the first woman on the emperor, and the first queen. If the new queen enters the palace, you, the cold palace, will be afraid
If you can’t stay for two days, then you won’t have food to eat or clothes to wear. Maybe she will prick you with a needle every day, whip you with a whip, use..."
"Okay, okay, I'll bring food to the emperor, but it's better not to let the new queen enter the palace." Shangguan Jinxiu was frightened by the scene described by Li Xiang.
Li Xiang secretly smiled.
The palace man next to him lowered his head and tried hard to control his facial expression.
Half an hour later, Shangguan Jinxiu stood at the gate of the palace holding cakes.
She hesitated and hesitated, but still didn't dare to go in.
The young eunuch guarding the door was very discerning. After bowing to Shangguan Jinxiu, he smiled flatteringly and said, "Your Majesty, I will go in immediately to deliver the message to you."
"Is the Emperor busy?"
"The Emperor has been busy with official duties recently..."
"If it's too busy, then I won't go in. You can bring the pastries in!"
Hearing that he was busy, Shangguan Jinxiu immediately found a reason to back off, interrupted the little eunuch, and couldn't wait to throw the blame to the little eunuch.
The little eunuch's flattering smile froze.
Why doesn't this empress act according to common sense?
"No matter how busy the emperor is with official duties, he will definitely be happy if he knows that the empress is here. I'd better go in and let the servant know. The empress will personally bring the carefully prepared cakes to the emperor. The emperor will definitely be even happier."
After saying that, he walked inside.
Shangguan Jinxiu muttered: "Actually, I wasn't that careful, I just served a plate casually."
Li Xiang stood behind Shangguan Jinxiu, preventing her from sneaking away.
Shangguan Jinxiu turned around and saw Li Xiang, gave a wry smile and said, "Li Xiang, you look like my mother!"
Li Xiang: "..."
There is no need to praise her like this.
She is still a eldest daughter and cannot give birth to such a big daughter.
She has only one wish in her life, and that is to live safely until the age of leaving the palace, marry an honest and honest man, and give birth to a "smarter" daughter.
My daughter should be smarter!
After all, she really didn't want to be so tired anymore.
The little eunuch came out quickly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please come in."
Shangguan Jinxiu heard the keyword - please.
So he's in a good mood?
How did she know that Fan Yuanxi's original words were: Come as soon as she comes, and you want me to invite her in?
You can be the little eunuch next to the emperor. If you don't have some cleverness, how can you beat so many competitors to get this position?
Shangguan Jinxiu didn't understand this. She only knew that the emperor was in a good mood, so the possibility of her being punished was small. So if she put the things in front of him and said a few compliments, she would be out soon.
After all, the emperor was busy with official duties and had no time to waste on her.
Shangguan Jinxiu walked into the palace gracefully with a plate in hand.
The palace was very big, and even if she stepped lightly, she could still hear the echo clearly.
Shangguan Jinxiu heard the sound of the door closing and looked back. The young eunuch was closing the door and smiling at her while Li Xiang and other servants were waiting outside and did not follow her in.
