Work overtime

Chapter 596 Bold!

That night, the emperor didn't turn over the cards very late, thinking that the emperor was resting today.

As a result, he drove to Changchun Palace in the middle of the night and stayed at Meng Zhaoyi's place.

Unparalleled favor.

In fact, they didn't do anything, they just slept quietly on the same bed without disturbing each other.

As early as the first day he stayed overnight, the emperor told Meng Zhao directly that his body should not touch him while sleeping, as it would cause a conditioned overreaction, and he might mistake Meng Zhao for an assassin in his sleep and accidentally hurt her. So after finishing the work, the two of them needed to cover themselves with two quilts, and each of them had to sleep in a corner.

After hearing this, Meng Zhao understood why emperors in the past dynasties did not like to stay with their concubines for safety reasons.

Obviously all you have to do is follow the instructions. The emperor explained so patiently, Meng Zhao was very touched, and increasingly felt that the emperor treated her differently. So do as you are told. When sleeping, he stayed close to the side of the bed, curled up in a ball, far away from the emperor, and remained alert in his sleep.

Of course it's different for her.

After all, Concubine Shun stayed in the Qianqing Palace for two nights in name, but actually slept on the ground on a bunk bed. It's just that the information is strictly blocked, and Shun Bin herself will never say anything.

Tonight, Meng Zhao couldn't sleep. She stared at the emperor not far away. These days are quite tiring and I often work overtime. Today is another day of hard work. Li Beichen snored and slept very deeply.

The more I look at it, the more entangled I become, the more I think about it, the more excited I am, and the more I want to have skin-to-skin contact with the emperor.

Her fingers moved slightly, but she didn't dare to reach out. She didn't want to have her hand broken off by the emperor.

The restlessness made her toss and turn. Although she had tried hard to avoid disturbing the emperor by turning over.

She heard the emperor murmuring something. Suddenly he turned around, reached out and grabbed her hand, holding it in his palm. In panic, before he could react, he was pinned down by the emperor, and his heavy breathing sounded in his ears.

When she expected to continue, the emperor let go of his hand and turned over to sleep, as if he was dreaming.

Meng Zhao was puzzled and felt lost.

In fact, Li Beichen just dreamed of Jiang Yuebai and wanted to pamper her in his dream. But when he pressed against Meng Zhao, he suddenly woke up and rolled back.

He has hated others touching his body since he was a child. Only Concubine He and Jiang Yuebai took the initiative to touch him, and he didn't resent them. Everyone else was instinctively repulsive to him.

There is also a big difference between touch and touch. Jiang Yuebai will activate the boiling switch in his body. The concubine will make him feel extra calm and comforted. They are two completely different feelings.

That night, the two of them slept in the same bed and pretended to be asleep, thinking that the other did not notice.

They were each thinking of someone in their hearts. That person was close at hand, but seemed far away, and they couldn't sleep for a long time.

When Li Beichen was finally tired, drowsy and fell asleep again, he found Meng Zhao getting up. A tense heart relaxed and fell into a light dream.

When he opened his eyes again, he found Meng Zhao standing in front of a desk not far away, busy with something.

I saw his court clothes spread out on the table. Meng Zhao was crushing the court uniform with a strange object.

Alarm bells rang in Li Beichen's heart.

What is the daughter of Prime Minister Meng trying to do? The court uniform is a symbol of the emperor. How can she manipulate it at will?

"Bold!" Li Beichen said angrily.

He didn't expect that Meng Zhao would act so boldly after just a few days of favor.

"The Emperor is awake?"

Meng Zhao did not panic. This was the reaction she expected from the emperor.

She turned around slowly, with fear and shyness on her face. A suit of soft silk accentuates her exquisite figure.

Meng Zhao knelt down and saluted, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I am helping the Emperor smooth out the wrinkles on his court uniform to make it look more crisp. My mother always tidies my father's official uniform like this every day. I can't sleep, and I want to do it for you. The emperor has something to do, so get up and give it a try."

Although Meng Zhao said this, Li Beichen was still hesitant to believe it. He glanced at the desk and said, "Liang Xiaobao, go and take a look."

Liang Xiaobao ran out of the small corner of the room and checked carefully.

"For your Majesty's report, I checked it and found that the court uniform is intact and as smooth as new." Meng Zhao had long known that Liang Xiaobao was Jiang Yuebai's man. I wanted to take the opportunity to have an attack and teach him a lesson so that he would not dare to do anything wrong to me. Unexpectedly, Liang Xiaobao abides by his duty and reports truthfully and impartially, which seems to have solved the problem for her.

Li Beichen still had doubts in his heart, but his tone of voice was much gentler, "Zhaoyi worked hard, I didn't expect to get up earlier than me. Come and help me change my clothes."

Meng Zhao smiled shyly, "Serving my husband, I only feel happy and not tired."

In such a large harem, even Xie Kewei did not dare to call Li Beichen her husband rashly. Of course, among the people, both concubines and wives can call their husbands husband.

But it sounds weird at this point.

Li Beichen frowned slightly.

Perhaps because Meng Zhao is not skilled in business, the eldest lady of the prime minister's house always speaks in a reserved manner, lacking the intimacy and casualness between civil couples, so she is a bit nondescript.

Meng Zhao pretended to be confused and asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with my concubine doing this?"

"These things will be left to the servants to do from now on. You have a noble status and don't have to do these things yourself. Otherwise, the Prime Minister should say that I don't love his daughter anymore."

Meng Zhao smiled with a bit of shyness: "How can I do this as carefully as I do? The emperor is the most respected person in the world, and he is also my husband. I serve the emperor with my own hands and am willing to do so. If dad knew about it, he would definitely praise him. I am virtuous.”

Li Beichen smiled and said, "You are indeed virtuous."

Meng Zhao said this very delicately.

Mrs. Meng calls Prime Minister Meng not husband, but Prime Minister at home, which sounds very similar to Prime Minister.

But Li Beichen is not stupid.

Whether it is Zhen Jieyu's "Jiuru brother" or Meng Zhaoyi's "husband", they are all coquettish and hinting at him, hoping to gain his favor.

When Li Beichen saw the court clothes, he saw the difference between those that had been carefully ironed and those that had not been ironed.

He admired from the bottom of his heart, "Yes, it is indeed smooth. Zhaoyi is thoughtful."

He turned to Liang Xiaobao and told Liang Xiaobao, "Go to the Shangfu Bureau today and arrange for two people to come and learn from Zhaoyi. After learning this method, you will follow this method to smooth the court uniforms in the future."

Then he said warmly to Meng Zhao, "Zhaoyi's craftsmanship is indeed good. I will reward you well. After the morning court, I will definitely praise you to your father."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. It's just a trivial matter. I want to do it myself. The Emperor has rewarded me a lot in the past few days, so there is no need for it this time."

Li Beichen nodded with satisfaction, "The Prime Minister has indeed raised a virtuous and good daughter. I will never let you down in the future. I have thought about your title for a few days and have already thought about it. I will give it to the Prime Minister in front of the Prime Minister at the Chinese New Year state banquet." You, let’s have a grand celebration. Now, how about I give you some clothes and jewelry to dress up?”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty will have to visit me often from now on. Otherwise, the Emperor will not be able to appreciate her if she is beautifully dressed. Wouldn't it be a failure of His Majesty's good intentions?" Meng Zhao said with a smile.

It was part of her plan to get a title. I just didn't expect that the emperor would still engage in futures, and he would wait until the Chinese New Year instead of giving it now. The emperor's words were high-sounding, just to strike a balance with those who came in behind.

Meng Zhao was pleased to think that the emperor had put so much thought into considering the title. After all, the emperor still cared about her.

How could Li Beichen not see what Meng Zhao was thinking? He just saw through it without telling him.

Meng Zhao has outstanding appearance and posture, and is very charming at night. Now he lowers his body and flatters him. It's impossible not to like such a beauty.

Just like the vase on the red sandalwood square table not far away, it is exquisitely crafted and has unique patterns. It is filled with several brightly colored flowers and looks pleasing to the eye.

But when Meng Zhao stood up on tiptoes to kiss, Li Beichen subconsciously turned around with a calm expression.

Meng Zhao kissed the air.

She found that the emperor just refused to kiss her.

In the past few days and nights, she tried to kiss the emperor, but was deliberately avoided, which made her a little disappointed.

Because my mother said that if a man likes a woman, he can't help but want to kiss her.

The emperor doesn't like kissing her. Does it mean the emperor doesn't like her? Or is it because of other reasons?

Meng Zhao's competitive spirit was aroused, and she secretly thought that she must find a way to kiss the emperor, and also find a way to capture the emperor's heart and let the emperor take the initiative to kiss her.
