The next day, when the sun was already shining, Wanrou woke up. She saw herself lying on the bed fully clothed, with all the jewelry off her body. She had clearly slept on a couch last night, so who moved her to the bed?
Up?
"Shuang'er." Wanrou didn't think about it anymore, she just called Shuang'er in and asked.
"Your Majesty, are you awake? Shuang'er just asked the people in the imperial dining room to prepare lunch. After your Majesty washes up, you can prepare for the meal." Shuang'er walked in, holding a basin of water and placing it next to the bed.
On the shelf, a jade bowl was filled with water and handed to Wanrou to rinse her mouth. Then she wrung out a handkerchief and handed it to Wanrou to wipe her face. She had completely forgotten the question she originally wanted to ask.
After Wanrou finished washing, she said: "I want to take a bath, Shuang'er, go and prepare it for me." Wanrou said as she walked towards the outer room.
"Shuang'er has already prepared for your Majesty, please come with Shuang'er to take a bath." Shuang'er held a set of plain white clothes in his hands and whispered beside Wanrou.
"Shuang'er, you are so cute, you are so thoughtfully prepared." Wanrou followed Shuang'er to the bathing room, and saw a wooden bucket that could accommodate two of her. She even sat on it.
You can stretch your legs inside. The bucket is steaming, and a layer of white jasmine petals are floating on the water, which really makes Wanrou very happy.
"You actually know that I like to bathe with jasmine petals. Shuang'er, how do you understand my thoughts so well?" Wanrou felt very surprised.
Shuang'er undressed her, and then she raised her feet and sat in the wooden bucket. The hot water surrounding her whole body softened her body, and the scent of jasmine made Wanrou relax her whole body and mind.
While Shuang'er wiped Wanrou's snow-white back with a handkerchief, he explained to her: "Shuang'er doesn't dare to take credit. All this was ordered by the Emperor when he asked Eunuch Fu to come over this morning."
I don’t like to get up early, so I’ll ask your children not to disturb you and let you sleep until you wake up naturally. You should prepare lunch and bathing at that time, and replace the petals with jasmine petals. Because there were not many jasmine flowers in the royal garden in the palace, the emperor knew that the empress loved jasmine.
From now on, I ordered people to plant jasmine flowers in the courtyard of Ruoxue Palace, just to please you, the empress."
Although she has never met this emperor and has no feelings for him, after all, no matter how unwilling she is, he is now her husband. And Wanrou has never been so loved by anyone since she was a child. It would be a lie to say that she is not touched in her heart.
.
"What kind of person is your emperor?" Wanrou asked Shuang'er curiously.
"Actually, the emperor is a very good man. Although he has a bad temper and is easily angry, he rarely takes it out on us. He is very kind to us servants, and the servants who serve the emperor are very happy. The emperor rarely gets close to women.
There are very few concubines in the harem. Your title is the emperor's name. This is the highest honor for the concubines in the harem, which is comparable to the status of the queen. What's more, there is no queen in the harem now, so the empress is the most important.
The emperor has always given top priority to state affairs. Although he sometimes appears cynical, he is more attentive than anyone else. Especially to the empress. This is the first time that Shuang'er has seen the emperor treat her like this.
Such a caring woman. Also, don’t you know, my dear, that the emperor has one of the best celestial looks in the Snow Velvet Kingdom? He is a rare and handsome man! There are almost no women who would not treat the emperor after meeting him.
As I secretly promised, your Majesty is so lucky." Shuang'er said with great interest, as if he wished he could transform into Wanrou.
"So, Shuang'er is secretly committed to the emperor? Maybe I will be the only woman who will not fall in love with him after meeting him. Shuang'er, do you know, even if I am lucky enough to have such an outstanding husband?
, but what I pursue is not to share a man's life with others. I love freedom and don't like to be restrained. If I didn't have to, I would never marry into this deep palace." Wan Rou held up her hands.
She put a pair of jasmine petals on the tip of her nose and smelled it gently. She took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to cry. She thought of Mo Chubai again, the man who sacrificed his life to save her, saying that no matter how miserable she was, it was for her.
Mo Chubai didn't care at all.
After a while, Wanrou finished taking a bath and put on the plain white clothes Shuang'er picked for her. The semi-wet blue silk hair was draped on her back, and she simply combed her temples. She picked a intact jasmine flower and decorated it on her temples.
It is simple yet elegant, noble and decent.
"Did you get me to sleep on the bed last night?" Wanrou stood in front of the window and suddenly remembered the question she had when she got up.
"Last night? Last night, the emperor carried the empress to the bed to rest. The emperor also personally removed the jewelry on your head. I hope you can sleep more comfortably. The emperor stood aside and looked at the empress quietly for a long time, and then
I have been drawing and designing the clothes for the empress, and this morning I took them to the Shang Palace Bureau for work. I hope they can be finished as soon as possible for the empress to wear." Shuang'er took the remaining drawings that Huangfu Jin selected last night and handed them to them.
Wanrou, Wanrou took it and looked at it, and suddenly she remembered the man in her dream last night. She was concentrating on painting, and her expression and eyes were very much like Huangfu Jin. Her hands suddenly became
A little trembling, isn't that a dream?
"Shuang'er, your emperor's eyes are blue?" Wanrou's voice gradually began to tremble, and some things gradually became clear in her mind.
"Due to the royal bloodline, the eyes of all descendants of the royal family are blue. But only this generation of emperors is more special. The eyes are blue and very beautiful and deep. It is said that the emperor was destined to be the king when he was born." Shuang'er did not.
Sensing Wanrou's strangeness at the moment, he continued to answer Wanrou's questions carefully.
"Your Majesty, what is your name?" Wanrou's face began to turn blue. She held on to her last glimmer of hope. She didn't want to hear the name she least wanted to hear from Shuang'er's mouth.
"Shuang'er can't call the emperor by his first name, it will be considered disrespectful to the emperor, empress." Shuang'er began to feel that something was wrong.
"Just say what I told you to say." Wanrou suddenly became serious, and her tone became less friendly and said, "If you have something to do, I will take care of it for you."
Shuang'er knew that she was unhappy, and the emperor told him not to offend her, so he had no choice but to answer obediently: "If you want to reply to your concubine, your name will be Huangfu Jin."
Wanrou heard Shuang'er blurt out this name, and suddenly her whole body felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her face instantly turned pale and she staggered. Fortunately, she held on to the corner of the table and asked tremblingly: "You guys
What is the name of the Ninth Prince?"
"The Ninth Prince's name is Huangfu Yi." She laughed when she heard Shuang'er's answer. It turned out that she had been deceived by Huangfu Jin for so long. Who is the Ninth Prince? What kind of royal brother loves her so much that she will agree to any request? All
It was all bullshit, and she actually believed the words that were used to deceive herself.
Seeing Wanrou's appearance, Shuang'er was really frightened and asked anxiously: "My dear, what's wrong with you? My dear, please don't scare Shuang'er."
I saw Wanrou suddenly sitting on the ground, laughing and crying at the same time, leaning in Shuang'er's arms, breaking down and saying: "It turns out to be you, it turns out you have been lying to me." She laughed very loudly.
, tears kept falling, and her whole person seemed to have collapsed. From this moment on, Wanrou subconsciously carved the word "hate" into the image of Huangfu Jin in her mind.
Then all she knew was that her vision went dark and she didn't know anything. She was almost frightened to death, and immediately shouted outside: "Here comes someone, call the imperial doctor, the empress has fainted."
