Is the emperor cremated today?

Chapter 61 Coax Me

In the night, the palace was silent and exuded royal majesty. It was so quiet that the footsteps of the maid walking in the corridor could not be heard.

Yu Qiao walked up the stone steps of Tai Chi Palace and saw Zhu Weng ordering the waiter to prepare tea. After thinking about it, she walked towards Zhu Weng.

When Zhu Weng saw Yu Qiao coming, he ordered his servants in a few words and then looked at Yu Qiao with a smile, who had already walked up to him. Yu Qiao made a blessing ceremony and asked with a smile: "Zhu Weng, your Majesty asked me to bring some chicken soup. .”

Yu Qiao handed the food box in her hand to Zhu Weng, who took it and smiled with a smile on his face, "Did you bring anything else?"

Yu Qiao shook her head.

Zhu Weng glanced at the closed palace door and sighed silently.

His Majesty has kept himself locked inside since he came back from Fengyi Palace, and has not allowed anyone to come in to serve him. Except for asking for tea just now, he looked deserted and kept away from strangers.

If he hadn't been offended by the imperial concubine, he wouldn't be a new believer at all.
Now that the empress was willing to send Yuqiao to deliver soup, he thought that the empress would bring some soft words, but he didn't know that she didn't say a word, and he didn't know whether a bowl of soup could make people happy?
Zhu Weng smiled and thanked Yuqiao. When he saw that Yuqiao had gone away, he knocked on the palace door and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine sent you chicken soup. It's still warm."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Qi's voice came, "Come in."

Zhu Weng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and pushed open the palace door and walked in. He saw Xiao Qi in front of the imperial court holding a memorial in his hand and looking at it without even looking at Zhu Weng.

Seeing His Majesty's indifferent look, Zhu Weng felt a little unsure and hesitated for a moment, not daring to step forward.

Xiao Qi raised his eyes to glance at him, then lowered his eyes again, still focusing on the memorial.

"bring here."

Zhu Weng immediately walked to the imperial desk with a smile on his face and took out the soup cup from the food box.

As soon as I opened the soup cup, I saw a few water-saturated wolfberries floating on the bright yellow chicken soup, which made me appetizing.

Xiao Qi put down the memorial in his hand, took the spoon from Zhu Weng, and drank slowly.

For a moment, all I could hear was the tinkling sound of porcelain hitting each other.

After finishing the cup of soup, Xiao Qi felt that his cold heart felt warmer, and couldn't help but ask: "What else did she say?"

Zhu Weng lowered his head and said, "This..."

Xiao Qi knew from the look on Zhu Weng's face that she didn't say a word, because the corners of her slightly upturned lips tightened into a tight line after a cup of chicken soup.

Zhu Weng could feel the unhappiness radiating from Xiao Qi's whole body, and lowered his head again.

Just when Zhu Weng thought that Xiao Qi would cover his head and handle government affairs without saying a word, Xiao Qi suddenly stood up and strode out of the palace.

Zhu Weng was stunned for a breath before following him. When he walked out of the palace, he realized that the direction Xiao Qi was going was Fengyi Palace.

In Fengyi Palace, Yu Qiao was reporting the matter to Xu Miaoyin.

"Empress, Zhu Wengdu asked me if you had anything to say to His Majesty. Even Zhu Weng saw that Your Majesty was angry, so he sent me a cup of soup. Can Your Majesty calm down?"

Xu Miaoyin was wearing a green pajamas and sitting on the couch with a blanket on her legs. She was reading slowly with a book in her hand and did not respond to Yu Qiao's question.

Yu Qiao secretly raised her eyes and glanced at Xu Miaoyin who had stopped turning the book. She knew that the girl's heart was not as deserted as she appeared.

The girl still cares about His Majesty, but she doesn't know what the quarrel between the two is.
Xu Miaoyin does care about Xiao Qi, but her care is different from what Yu Qiao thinks.

At this time, Xu Miaoyin asked: "Is Yuqin back?"

Yu Qiao replied: "I just got back, do you want to send her a message?"

Xu Miaoyin looked at the night outside the window. She thought that Xiao Qi would not come over tonight because she was still angry, so she nodded and said, "Ask her to come over!"

"Who are you calling?"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Qi's figure appeared outside the palace door, walking towards Xu Miaoyin with leisurely steps.When Yu Qiao saw Xiao Qi coming, she bowed and left. When she saw Zhu Weng, she asked, "Why is your Majesty here?"

Zhu Weng glanced at Yuqiao, stood there with his arms folded and said calmly: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Yuqiao looked stern, lowered her head and said no more.

In the hall, Xiao Qi stood in front of the couch and looked at Xu Miaoyin condescendingly. His expression showed no emotion or anger, but he said nothing. This made Xu Miaoyin not sure what was wrong with Xiao Qi.
Xu Miaoyin's eyebrows were curved and she smiled softly, "Seeing that you didn't eat much for dinner, I gave you chicken soup, but you didn't like it? Then I won't give it to you next time."

There was a smile in his eyes, but the words he spoke were meant to piss him off.

He wasn't even angry, but she thought he was ungrateful.

Xiao Qi sighed secretly, couldn't she coax him?
Xiao Qi sat next to Xu Miaoyin, put his arms around her waist and pulled her into his arms.

His chin rubbed the top of her head, and Xiao Qi's tone became much softer, even a little sad, "Don't think you can coax me with just a cup of soup."

After being married to Xiao Qi for a year, she still knew what this man liked her best.

Xu Miaoyin raised her head slightly, kissed his chin, and said with a smile, "What about this?"

Xiao Qi's eyes darkened a bit. He raised the corners of his lips and stared at the red lips so close, adding a bit of evil, "The royal concubine's kiss is very beneficial."

Xu Miaoyin rarely saw Xiao Qi who was almost teasing her like this, and was stunned for a moment.

Xiao Qi took advantage of her daze to pick her up and strode towards the bed.

Xu Miaoyin came to her senses and reached out to hook his neck.

Putting her gently on the bed, Xiao Qi kissed her seductive lips, "It's been a tiring day today. Go to bed early. I'll go wash up. Don't wait for me."

Xiao Qi pulled the quilt over and covered her, tucked it in and went to the bathroom.

Xu Miaoyin looked at the bed curtain above her head, feeling a little nervous. Was he going to...

Five years is a long time, enough time for each other to become strangers. If they were honest with each other, this would really make her feel a little overwhelmed.

Xiao Qi took a quick shower and walked out of the bathroom. Through his open pajamas, he could see his strong chest still exuding water vapor.

Xu Miaoyin lowered her eyes silently and did not look at him again.

Xiao Qi got on the bed, lay on the outside of the bed, held Xu Miaoyin in his arms and closed his eyes, "Go to sleep!"

Xu Miaoyin waited stiffly for a while, and then slowly relaxed when she found that Xiao Qi made no next move. She gradually became sleepy, and closed her eyes as sleepiness came over her.

After a dreamless night, Xu Miaoyin slept well, and when she woke up again, Xiao Qi was no longer around.

Yu Qiaoyu Shu heard a noise in the dormitory and came in with her maid to serve Xu Miaoyin to wash up.

After washing up and having breakfast, Xu Miaoyin asked Yuqiao to call Yuqin for questioning.

Although Yuqin looks ordinary, she has a good voice. She will let down her guard when talking to her, so Mrs. Xu gave her to Xu Miaoyin.

"My maid has not found out the specific whereabouts of Duke Rong Guo, but it is certain that he has left Jianmen Pass and gone to Liyang. Liyang is the last stop for the patrol, but it seems that he stayed longer this time, and the maid also I didn’t find out what the specific reason was? I just know that it seemed to be tripped up by something.”

She knew very little about Fang Zhiyuan and Xu Miaoyin, so she asked Yuqin to inquire about his current whereabouts so that she could prepare for the future. However, it was really difficult for her to inquire about many things in the palace. It seemed that she still had to find Xiao Qi. .

At this time, someone came outside the hall to report that Weng had arrived, and Xu Miaoyin invited them in.

Zhu Weng smiled and greeted Xu Miaoyin. He held a brocade box in his hand and handed it to Yuqiao who was standing aside. He said, "Your Majesty, your majesty said that you will definitely like the contents of the brocade box."
