Although Dongling Yuanyong knew that Ximen Yourong's annoyance was serious, he didn't have the wisdom to completely let go of her, he just relaxed his grip a little.
Ximen Yourong pushed him:
"Your Majesty, if you don't let me go back, it will be dawn by the time I return to Lengyue Palace."
Her words were a bit exaggerated, but they gave Dongling Yuanyong an opportunity to take advantage of him. He said "hum" intentionally or unintentionally:
"Actually, I think Yuan Hao's suggestion is quite insightful, don't you think?"
Ximen Yourong was stunned because she didn't understand why he mentioned Dongling Yuanhao's suggestion at all.
The confusion in her eyes made Dongling Yuanyong feel more and more uncomfortable, but he still simply said it clearly:
"Don't you think the road from Longtai Palace to Lengyue Palace is too far? It would take me more than half an hour every day to get to you at the fastest speed... If you could move to a palace near Longtai Palace,
In a situation like this, as long as we are close, we won’t have any trouble, don’t you think?”
In fact, the reason why he stayed in Lengyue Palace this morning and refused to leave was because he wanted to find an opportunity to mention this matter.
It’s just that he has never been embarrassed to speak. It was he who had bad intentions in letting Ximen Yourong live in the dilapidated Lengyue Palace, and now he wants her to move closer to Longtai Palace. This is not like a slap in his face.
Isn’t it embarrassing?
Ximen Yourong didn't understand now and understood his purpose. When Dongling Yuanhao mentioned this "suggestion" last night, he happened to go on to talk about Wen's case, so she didn't think much about it at the time. But she didn't expect Dongling Yuanhao to
Lingyuan Yong was really relieved.
However, she cruelly refused his thoughts and said:
"I like Lengyue Palace, it's quiet there!"
"But it's too far!"
"Didn't His Majesty send me to live there because the Lengyue Palace is far enough away from the Longtai Palace? I heard that even the plaque of "Lengyue Palace" was written by His Majesty himself."
Ximen Yourong deliberately mentioned his original "original intention". In fact, to be honest, at that time, she really hoped that Lengyue Palace would become her "Leng Palace". At least she could be quiet!
Dongling Yuanyong's face was a little confused, and he growled angrily and uncomfortably:
"Back then, who would have thought you were so capable and could easily win my heart!"
"No matter what Your Majesty says, I will not move out of Lengyue Palace." His almost deceitful expression made Ximen Yourong smile faintly on his lips.
"Why?"
Could it be that he was the only one who wanted to see her day and night, but she didn't care about it at all?
"I find it troublesome to move around."
"Is this your reason?" Why does he feel so far-fetched!
"Furthermore, as time goes by, if His Majesty wants to relegate me to the cold palace again in the future, wouldn't I have to move again? Don't Your Majesty think that would be very troublesome?"
"you……!"
She obviously wanted to refute, but he was so choked by her that her throat was choked. She was obviously deliberately trying to make him angry.
"Okay, Your Majesty, I'm going back first. You can review the memorial carefully. We'll see you tomorrow!"
Ximen Yourong stood on tiptoes and quickly kissed his ugly face. Then she turned around and left the study while he was dazed, leaving Dongling Yuanyong alone, laughing with a mixture of sorrow and joy. Not even angry.
Neither!
Ximen Yourong did not leave immediately after leaving Longtai Palace, because Eunuch Cao who sent her out was worried about his master. He couldn't help but said to Ximen Yourong:
"Your Majesty, I want to ask you something, but I'm afraid your Majesty will mind."
Even if Eunuch Cao didn't ask, Ximen Yourong guessed what he wanted to ask, so she smiled and said:
"My father-in-law doesn't understand why I don't agree to His Majesty's move out of Lengyue Palace?"
Eunuch Cao smiled slightly and nodded. He could see that the love between the emperor and the empress was getting stronger and stronger. So he didn't understand why Ximen Yourong was willing to make Dongling Yuan Yongqian anxious!
However, Ximen Yourong smiled and said:
"Everyone knows that I have lived in Lengyue Palace since I entered the palace. Now if I rashly move out of Lengyue Palace in order to spend more time with His Majesty, it will definitely be a waste of time. At that time, whether it is Your Majesty or me,
It will make people think that we pay too much attention to personal enjoyment and ignore the responsibilities of our own status. The fact that Your Majesty and I can cherish each other so far is enough for me to be grateful. I don't want to, and I can't let Your Majesty get a bad reputation because of me! More
What's more...!" Ximen Yourong smiled softly: "This is good!"
Only she understands the meaning of her last words, and it is also her own little selfishness.
If the distance from Longtai Palace to Lengyue Palace is the longest distance in the entire palace, and if this longest distance will make Dongling Yuanyong rush to Lengyue Palace with impatient mood every time, she hopes that in the future
Every time, his mood will never change...and she will always be there waiting for his arrival...!
Eunuch Cao listened quietly to Ximen Yourong's words. Although he didn't know what her last sentence "This is good" meant, he could feel that what Ximen Yourong said before was her sincerity. For Dongling
Yuanyong considers it sincerely!
Moreover, she was right in thinking. Everyone in the world thought that Dongling Yuanyong was an impeccable emperor. But after all, he was still a mortal, and he also had uncontrollable impulses... For example, he wanted to make Ximen feel free.
Moving to the vicinity of Longtai Palace was his personal emotional indulgence.
Although the request for Ximen Yourong to move the palace was really carried out, it would not be serious enough to damage the reputation of Dongling Yuanyong.
But as Ximen Yourong said, before she and Dongling Yuanyong were a loving couple, they were also irreplaceable emperors and empresses in the hearts of thousands of Dacheng people.
Compared with their own small life, it is their mission to carry the prosperity and stability of Da Chengguo. When necessary, they can only sacrifice their small self to achieve their great self!
After Eunuch Cao understood Ximen Yourong's thoughts, he no longer had any doubts and secretly supported Ximen Yourong's idea!
Originally that was all, but Ximen Yourong also had something to ask Eunuch Cao. She hesitated for a while before asking:
"Eunuch Cao, Your Majesty... what was his life like in the frontier before?"
In fact, she had asked Dongling Yuanyong this question intentionally or unintentionally, but he just smiled and casually mentioned it, and did not tell her the details she wanted to know.
He didn't want to say that she didn't actually have to know, but what mattered to her was that she clearly remembered that his smile hurt her heart so much because she saw his pain!
The same thing happened during the meal. In her eyes, it was just a full steamed bun, but in his eyes, the steamed bun was more like a sad memory that he could not describe.
Eunuch Cao was stunned for a moment when he heard her question, but he hesitated a little, probably because he was considering whether to truthfully tell Ximen Yourong what she wanted to know.
"If father-in-law feels embarrassed, just pretend I didn't ask!"
Ximen Yourong saw Eunuch Cao's hesitation, and she didn't want to force anyone into trouble!
But just as she was about to get on the sedan chair, Eunuch Cao called her:
"Empress...!"
Ximen Yourong, who had already bowed to enter the sedan chair, stepped back and stood upright to face Eunuch Cao.
Eunuch Cao looked at her and said:
"Your Majesty, you don't eat meat on weekdays, and just eating a steamed bun with porridge, water and pickles may be your most comfortable daily routine. But for Your Majesty, he would never dare to eat only a steamed bun without eating meat.
Forget to be vigilant!"
Eunuch Cao, whose face had already been covered with traces of time, showed a faint look of sadness. He sighed deeply, as if he was returning to some distant memories, and he began to say:
"Back when His Majesty was convicted and exiled to the frontier thousands of miles away, there was no place in the entire Dacheng Kingdom that the Ximen clan could not penetrate into, including difficult places far away in the frontiers... Therefore, when Your Majesty first arrived at the frontier,
He was framed and suppressed again and again. In one of them, he was maliciously thrown into a wilderness far away from human habitation and full of wild wolves by the border general who obeyed the Ximen clan... The old slave spent all his savings to hire locals for seven days.
It took seven nights to find His Majesty, who was covered in scars..."
When Eunuch Cao said this, the vicissitudes of life on his face seemed to be more obvious. He slowly continued to recall:
"If the old slave had found His Majesty a little later, His Majesty would have died of injuries even if he had not starved to death! In fact, if we had not met an expert almost at the same time, His Majesty would have died without a doubt."
"The injury caused His Majesty to sleep for half a month. When he woke up, his injuries had been completely healed by the expert, but he was unable to eat. No matter what he ate, he would vomit everything.
Come out... Later, the old slave understood why His Majesty could not eat anything, because during the seven days when he fought alone, His Majesty relied on wolf blood and raw wolf meat... His Majesty was only ten years old during that ruthless persecution!
"
This memory of Eunuch Cao has clearly given Ximen Yourong the answer she wanted. She knew the answer would not make her feel relaxed, but she did not expect it would make her so painful, for the man she loved so much.
!
She had no idea when the tears fell, but she didn't care. She just turned around and looked at the study door she just stepped out of and said:
"Father, if I insist on staying at Longtai Palace tonight, the sky won't fall tomorrow!"
"No, I can rest assured, my queen!"
The color on Eunuch Cao's face became much gentler again. He watched Ximen Yourong step by step and finally ran back to the study. Eunuch Cao smiled reassuringly and followed him and closed the door of the study tightly again. He knew that his master
I will have another restful sleep tonight...!
In the room, Ximen Yourong had already thrown himself into the arms of Dongling Yuanyong, who was confused.
Originally, he quite enjoyed her falling into his arms again and again, but her trembling body caused obvious wrinkles to form between his brows.
"Rong'er, what's wrong, you...!"
Suddenly, there was more and more obvious wetness on his neck, and she was crying!
His heart tightened, Dongling Yuanyong couldn't care less about enjoying the comfort of touching her soft body. He used a little force to break off her hands on his neck and shoulders, and then let her look at him face to face. She cried as expected.
!
He had seen her cry before, but this was the first time he saw her eyes flowing out like two clear springs...!
