On the second day, Li Xiang and his palace attendants were waiting at the gate of Yangxin Hall.
Eunuch Fang was waiting for Fan Yuanxi to go to court. When he passed by Li Xiang, he said, "The queen is still resting. Miss Li Xiang, please go in later."
Li Xiang secretly glanced at Fan Yuanxi's back and saw that he had no reaction. Knowing that this was his tacit approval, Li Xiang asked other palace people to go back to Jinxiu Palace to prepare hot water and food while she waited here.
Shangguan Jinxiu didn't sleep long. When the heater beside her disappeared, she felt cold and gradually couldn't sleep.
She sat up, looked at the unfamiliar palace, and remembered what happened yesterday.
Li Xiang heard the sound inside and stood at the door and said: "Queen, my servant Li Xiang. Are you up now? If so, my servant will come in."
"Come in."
Li Xiang heard the response and walked in.
Shangguan Jinxiu gathered her clothes, put on her shoes, and said to Li Xiang, "I don't know how to do my hair. Fortunately you are here."
Li Xiang saw Shangguan Jinxiu dressed so neatly, and then secretly looked at the bed. Except for the quilt, which was a little messy, everything else was not messy.
She looked up at the queen in front of her.
There are no red marks on the neck.
"Empress..." Li Xiang lowered his voice and asked, "Do you want me to go to the imperial kitchen to get some medicine?"
"What medicine?" Shangguan Jinxiu was confused.
"It's the medicine I used last time." Li Xiang was a little embarrassed, but it wasn't the first time he faced this kind of thing, so it was easier to speak than last time. "Your Majesty, you are delicate. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me to go and get it."
"
"No..." Shangguan Jinxiu knew that Li Xiang had misunderstood, and said shyly, "Where did you think you were?"
"Didn't the Queen go to bed last night?" Li Xiang was surprised.
It stands to reason that the emperor is at his prime of life, and he has not slept with the queen during this period. Yesterday they finally got together, and they were still lying on the same bed. He should not have reacted like this.
Could it be...
The emperor is not satisfied with the queen?
Thinking of Shangguan Jinxiu's performance last time, Li Xiang felt that he had found the reason.
Compared to those women who have been carefully 'educated', the Empress does not know anything in this regard. For someone with the status of the Emperor, Bao Buqi will find her boring. After a while, she may actually accept a concubine into the palace.
"No." Shangguan Jinxiu yawned, "I want to go back to Jinxiu Palace. It's not comfortable to sleep here. Come on, I want to go back to the palace to catch up on my sleep."
Shangguan Jinxiu has returned to the palace.
However, there was no catching up on sleep.
The door was closed tightly. In addition to Shangguan Jinxiu and the eldest maid Li Xiang, there was also a steward in her forties.
The grandma in charge smiled and spoke very gently.
However, what she said made Shangguan Jinxiu feel uncomfortable, as if someone had cast a body-holding spell on her body, and she was extremely embarrassed.
"Your Majesty's waist is so soft, she must be good at dancing, right?"
"I can't say I'm good at it, I just learned it for a few years."
"That's good. What man doesn't love a woman like the empress? As long as the empress is more relaxed and learns the skills of serving, the emperor will only love the empress..."
There are two little figures in her hands. The two figures are very delicately made. Their limbs, head and waist can all move, so they can be adjusted into various movements.
"This posture is called..."
The stewardess explained in detail.
Li Xiang couldn't listen anymore and said to the old woman and Shangguan Jinxiu: "I'll make you a pot of tea."
In fact, it is to avoid it, so as not to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Seeing that Shangguan Jinxiu's little face was already as red as a ripe apple, the old nanny said with a smile: "How about we stop talking about it today, and I will talk about something else tomorrow. I will leave these little people to the empress to practice.
.”
Shangguan Jinxiu: "..."
What to practice?
No, she doesn't need to.
The old nanny came over and said in a low voice: "Tomorrow, I will go out of the palace to buy things. Then I will find some good story books for the queen, so that the queen can pass the time."
The old grandma walked away with a mysterious smile.
Shangguan Jinxiu thought her smile was a bit strange, but didn't think much about it.
Finally left.
She lay on the bed and breathed out gently.
It's terrible.
It turns out that being a wife is such a difficult thing.
No wonder dad always says mom has worked hard.
It's really hard work.
Shangguan Jinxiu lay on the bed and fell asleep.
Hiss! She was awakened by the pain.
He opened his eyes in confusion and looked at the enlarged handsome face in front of him for a while before realizing that Fan Yuanxi was here.
"Your Majesty..." Shangguan Jinxiu sat up quickly.
Her head was still dazed, and sitting up so quickly made her dizzy even more.
Fan Yuanxi waved the two little figures in front of her.
"What's this?"
Shangguan Jinxiu: "..."
What?
Why is this thing still here?
By the way, before she left, grandma said she would give it to her for practice.
"This is... this is a small ornament."
Fan Yuanxi put the two villains together and nodded their heads: "I see."
Shangguan Jinxiu always felt that Fan Yuanxi was not that easy to deceive. His current expression was obviously nothing, but she felt that he had seen through everything a long time ago.
Li Xiang, Li Xiang, your master has lost all his face.
"Why is the emperor here?"
"After court, I asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some extra breakfast to eat with you, but you ran away. I couldn't eat that much by myself, so I came to find you."
In the morning, the ministers headed by King Xuan were urging him to depose the queen. Even if he did not depose the queen, he should at least include the harem to expand the branches of the royal family.
They liked to spread their branches so much that he rewarded each minister who submitted the memorial with two beauties, and also rewarded King Xuan with two more. He then ordered Qi Xiao to have people from the Department of Dark Law guard those ministers.
Outside the door, make sure that each of them has a flower bed and a candle, and they must also be exposed to rain and dew, so as not to neglect the two beauties he rewarded.
Thinking of the strange expressions of those ministers, Fan Yuanxi felt relieved.
Since they care so much about spreading branches and leaves, let them spread out more branches and leaves. There should be many second-generation officials born by this time next year, and he feels happy just thinking about it.
As an emperor, he still cares about his ministers! He must be able to escape the name of "tyrant" soon.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Shangguan Jinxiu saw Fan Yuanxi in a daze, with a surprised expression on his face.
It turns out that he will also be in a daze.
"Um?"
"Didn't you say breakfast?" Shangguan Jinxiu asked, "I'm hungry, can I eat it?"
"Eat." Fan Yuanxi stood up.
Fan Yuanxi was very busy, so he had breakfast and left.
Shangguan Jinxiu was so full that he was almost exhausted.
Li Xiang looked at Shangguan Jinxiu with complicated eyes.
"What's wrong?" Shangguan Jinxiu asked.
"Your Majesty, you have eaten a little too much today." Li Xiang said, "This cannot continue. I will accompany you to help you digest your food, so as not to cause stomach discomfort due to accumulated food later."
In fact, Li Xiang's statement was already very implicit. It was not a bit much, but a lot. The queen's food intake alone was equal to that of two emperors. However, the emperor seemed to enjoy watching her eat.
Li Xiang was worried about her health. Seeing that the emperor was looking at it so seriously, it was hard to interrupt. However, now that the emperor was not here, she still had to remind the queen that no matter how delicious the food was, she should not eat it like this.
