Work overtime

Chapter 564 Late Night

Han Ziqian said hurriedly, "My queen is obsessed with Go recently."

Li Beichen waved his hand and said, "Go to the warehouse to pick out a good Go chess set and bring it over."

While waiting for the eunuch in charge of the warehouse to deliver the chessboard, Han Ziqian had already arranged for someone to notify Jiang Yuebai in advance to be ready to pick him up.

Jiang Yuebai took the order, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and then started working nervously.

Su Su sent Li Chun, Li Xia and Li Qiu to dress Jiang Yue Bai.

Lichun held the small mirror, while Lixia and Liqiu were responsible for combing their hair.

Jiang Yuebai asked them to put their hair into a bun on top of their heads, making it neat and tidy, and the rest of their hair was simply tied together with a hair tie.

Lixia and Liqiu wanted to put some pearl powder on the mistress and put on light makeup, but Jiang Yuebai refused, saying that they didn't wear makeup on weekdays, let alone today. Lixia wanted to say something else, but Jiang Yuebai sent her out of the house, leaving the youngest Lichun to serve.

When the eunuch outside the house announced that the emperor had arrived, Jiang Yuebai was holding "Tang Poems" in his hand and dozing sleepily.

Hearing the noise, Li Chun quickly woke up Jiang Yuebai and said, "My queen, wake up quickly, the emperor is here."

Jiang Yuebai yawned and looked at the door, "When the Emperor arrives, you go to the small kitchen and serve a plate of yellow peas, and a bowl of sugar-flavored steamed cheese."

When Li Beichen came in, he saw Jiang Yuebai looking at him with a smile, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Your Majesty~" The voice was soft and caring.

Then he said with a bit of coquettishness, "I'm sorry that I have violated my etiquette and cannot stay here to pay my respects."

"You don't have to be polite." Li Beichen scolded with a smile.

He immediately dispersed all the palace people, including Han Ziqian, who was waiting outside the house.

Li Beichen quickly stepped forward, his burning gaze falling unabashedly on Jiang Yuebai's face. Their eyes met, silent and speechless, but the electricity exploded and flames shot out.

She was lying there, covered with a thin blanket. He couldn't see an inch of skin underneath, but it attracted his imagination.

Li Beichen sat beside the cave, held Jiang Yuebai's hand, and looked at Jiang Yuebai carefully, with thousands of words rolling in his throat.

Silently saying in my heart, "I miss you so much."

What came out of his mouth was only a soft call, "Jiao Jiao."

The clear voice seemed particularly low and gentle because he deliberately suppressed the surging emotions.

Looking into Jiang Yuebai's sleepy eyes, he asked softly, "Already asleep?"

Jiang Yuebai smiled and shook his head, with a gentle look, "Not yet. I always sleep late. The emperor traveled all night, and when he came back, he was busy dealing with internal and external affairs of the court. It must be very hard. I made some midnight snacks for the emperor. , Your Majesty, would you like to taste it?"

"Okay." Li Beichen felt soft and soothed.

I went to several palaces in the afternoon and met several concubines. They all said things like how hard it was for the emperor to fight and how powerful he was.

For some reason, he thought what others said was just polite greetings. Only when he heard what Jiang Yuebai said did he feel truly understood and relieved, and his heart surged with heat, not desire, but emotion.

Li Beichen stood up, sat on the edge of the collapse, and carefully held Jiang Yuebai's shoulders. Jiang Yuebai leaned on his chest.

The fire inside suddenly burned brightly.

He likes such a passionate and vibrant feeling.

Nothing can be done though.

Li Beichen kissed Jiang Yuebai's hair, held her hand, and asked with concern, "Will this hurt you? It will pull the wound."

He turned his face sideways again and placed a light kiss on Jiang Yuebai's forehead.

"That's good." Jiang Yuebai's voice was shy and soft.

As docile and well-behaved as a cat.

Li Beichen's heartstrings were moved more and more, and he held her hand tightly, "I heard that you have my child?"

Li Beichen's voice was full of joy and expectation. He wanted to hear the good news from Jiang Yuebai himself.

Since Jiang Yuebai didn't know the inside story, he planned to keep the matter of the Queen Mother's gift of Xizi Tang secret and never mention it.

Song Zhao nodded shyly and said softly, "Hmm." He took Li Beichen's hand and put it on his abdomen.

Li Beichen said happily, "This child must have been born that day. After so many ups and downs, fighting and killing with you, and bearing heavy pressures, he is still safe. He is really my good boy, very strong and strong."

Jiang Yuebai gave a faint smile that Li Beichen could just catch a glimpse of, "Like their father."

Li Beichen held Jiang Yuebai's hand tightly and did not notice the word "them". The scene of his father and him standing side by side on the grassland as the sun set in the past came to mind, and a sense of pride rose from his chest.

"That's natural. Give me a son, and I will lead him to bring peace to the world."

Jiang Yuebai replied cheerfully, "Okay."

Li Beichen lowered his head and kissed Jiang Yuebai's hair, "Jiaojiao, thank you."

Fortunately, I seized the time that day, and fortunately I had a bright belly. If Jiao Jiao had no heirs in this life because of Xizi Tang, it would be a lifelong regret for him.

Jiang Yuebai raised his eyes and looked at Li Beichen, blinking slyly: "Why does the emperor want to thank my concubine?"

"I have a lot to thank, for example."

Li Beichen was about to continue, but Jiang Yuebai kissed his lower lip lightly.

His throat rolled, and his mind went blank for a moment.

"Jiaojiao you" He couldn't find the right words to describe Jiang Yuebai. "How bad you are." Jiang Yuebai said with a smile.

Jiang Yue's fair skin can be broken by blows, and she exudes a faint fragrance. If it weren't for the white color all over his body, which reminded him that he was still in the mourning period, Li Beichen could hardly control himself and kissed her deeply.

"Yeah. You're good and bad."

But I like it very much.

Li Beichen pinched Jiang Yuebai's cheek affectionately and left a lingering kiss on her lips. His body became extremely hot.

He held her hand and said solemnly, "This child is hard-won. I can't stay by your side all the time. The harem is complicated, so you have to protect the child for me."

He silently added in his mind: "If it is not protected well, I'm afraid there will never be one again."

"I will definitely do it. I just want to ask the emperor for permission to return this palace power to sister Hefei. I have been feeling sleepy and low in energy since yesterday."

Li Beichen glanced at the book on the couch and scolded, "I agree. It's just that you are not well, why are you still reading so late at night?"

Jiang Yuebai lowered his eyes shyly and said awkwardly, "I'm just reading because I can't sleep."

He raised his eyes for a quick glance, then lowered his eyes again, with a smile on his lips.

Li Beichen's heart beat wildly at Jiang Yuebai's shyness, and he couldn't help teasing Jiang Yuebai, "Are you waiting for me so you can't sleep?"

Jiang Yuebai looked at Li Beichen lovingly but didn't say a word.

The meaning of "stop talking" has a richer meaning, and it is a very magical interactive skill. Subtle emotions and hidden meanings can be expressed through body language without speaking.

Jiang Yuebai found that the emperor enjoyed this exciting and fresh feeling.

Li Beichen almost kissed her, but he restrained himself and held Jiang Yuebai's hair affectionately.

He was afraid that he would squeeze Jiang Yuebai and pull her wounds that were not fully healed, so he stood up and sat back on the edge of the collapse.

But he found a big bulge in the front of his clothes, and he bent over in embarrassment and sat on the stool.

He looked up and saw Jiang Yuebai's smile, wondering if Jiang Yuebai had seen it just now. He wished she had seen it, but he also wished she hadn't.

He coughed slightly and put back the smile on his face, "I heard that you are addicted to playing chess recently. I found a good pair of clams to give to you."

Jiang Yuebai knew in her heart that this was what Han Ziqian told the emperor, so that it would be convenient to "make friends with chess" after creating opportunities.

"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty. I don't know when the Emperor will be free. Can you play a few games with me and see if I am getting better?"

Li Beichen held Jiang Yuebai's hand affectionately and said gently: "It's too late today, you should go to bed early. I will come back to play chess with you tomorrow."

Jiang Yuebai nodded slightly, "That's settled."

"I'm going to see Jinxiu. You can rest." Li Beichen looked into Jiang Yuebai's clear eyes, "When I ask the Qintian Prison to find a good day, and when Jinxiu is buried, you can move to Ning'an Palace. "

Jiang Yuebai felt a little touched, the emperor understood her.

The two whispered for a while, and Jiang Yuebai briefly reported what happened in the palace. Yang didn't mention anything about Yang's promise, but he mentioned Chen Xuanshi and took the initiative to report the special care given to Chen Xuanshi.

Li Beichen didn't express any opinions, just listened quietly and stared at Jiang Yuebai tenderly.

Li Beichen felt relieved that Jiang Yuebai was taking care of the harem.

If he didn't hope that she could give birth to the child safely and worry about others harming her by asking for help every day, Li Beichen would be happy to leave the harem in her hands.

When he heard Chen Xuanshi, he just said "hmm". He felt a little complicated about Chen Xuanshi.

Li Beichen hoped that Jiang Yuebai would kill Chen Xuanshi in anger, so that many things would be easier to do.

When it comes to Chen Xuanshi, Jiang Yuebai is always timid, hesitant to speak, and even tries to figure out what he means.

Li Beichen thought to herself that maybe being slapped repeatedly by Concubine Jing that day had a heavy psychological shadow on her, and her brother had not been found yet, so she was so timid.

It's not that Jiang Yuebai didn't understand Li Beichen's wish for her to make a knife. But she was thinking long-term and didn't want to spill unnecessary blood.

"I sent people to look for Bing Gong, but they were never found. My brother is only eight years old. I don't know that he... he... the Chen family's methods are vicious and ruthless. I am so worried about him..."

Jiang Yuebai sobbed restrainedly, and Li Beichen clearly felt the trembling of her delicate body.

Li Beichen already felt guilty about Jiang Jingxian's incident, and now he felt even more distressed. He held Jiang Yuebai's hand tightly with worry on his face, "Jiaojiao, be careful of the wound. I will send more people to continue searching. Your brother, he It will definitely be auspicious and everything will be safe and sound."

Jiang Yuebai nodded obediently, tears streaming down his chin. Before she took action, Li Beichen had already wiped it out for her with pity.

"Stop crying."

My heart aches.

Li Beichen comforted her with gentle words before leaving.

After Li Beichen left, Jiang Yuebai's face showed no trace of timidity, fear or fragility before, instead he looked calm and calm.

There are so many important things that the emperor has to worry about recently. If he doesn't have a good cry, how could the emperor be so interested in sending people to find his brother? How could he resist the pressure of public opinion and deal cruelly to the pregnant Chen in the future.

In the past, when he showed his strong side in the face of crisis, he was surrounded by wolves and the emperor was weak. She had nothing but to show her loyalty and bravery.

Now that the emperor is powerful and invincible, he has to be afraid, afraid of all the powerful, afraid of falling from his high position, afraid of not being able to find his younger brother. Give the omnipotent emperor the opportunity to cherish the beauty and protect the weak woman, and gain a sense of accomplishment and security from her. .

If he is weak, I will be strong; if he is strong, I will be weak.

Keep pace with the times and establish the personality that leaders need.
