There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 92 Don't Carry Yourself
Out of Fengyang Palace.

Xia Houjue looked indifferent: "Don't carry this kind of thing alone in the future! Solitude is not a decoration!"

Tang Wanning looked arrogant: "You are not a display, and neither am I! I just don't want to see someone eating and drinking right under my nose!"

She suddenly lowered her head, feeling a little guilty: "That... did I screw it up?"

"We stunned the queen, she won't retaliate, I'm not afraid, what about you?"

Xia Houjue twitched the corner of his mouth: "You still know how to be afraid!"

"You don't have to worry about being alone!" After living in the palace for so many years, if he didn't even have this kind of means, he wouldn't be able to survive now.

Tang Wanning felt relieved.

"That's fine, that's fine!"

"Anyway, if I don't go to work as a coolie for her, neither can anyone else! If something happens to Prince Chen's marriage, the empress will definitely take the shit pot to Yuqing Palace!"

"Let her worry about the queen's affairs, we won't get involved!"

The afternoon sun was scorching hot, and the weather was stuffy after it had just rained. She covered her face with a veil and walked unhurriedly on the palace road, with a fine layer of sweat dripping from the tip of her nose.

Xia Houjue walked beside her, seeing her leisurely posture, couldn't help admiring her again.

"You are quite transparent, smart!"

"That's right! I'm so smart!"

Xia Houjue: "..."

……

It was already the second day when the queen woke up.

Still suffering from a splitting headache, she dimly opened her eyes and saw that only Nanny Qi was by her side, her heart sank.

Standing up slowly, her gaze unconsciously fell on a stack of tall account books on the windowsill, which were the expenses for the construction of the Prince Chen's Mansion and the accounts for the wedding banquet next month.

Don't worry about other people's handling, she can only do one by one in person, but how can she do these trivial things after being pampered for many years?

Thinking of the fact that none of the coolies she had brought was found, she was devastated.

"It's all that poisonous woman of the Tang family!"

"I used to think that she was a good-for-nothing except knives and arrows, but now you see, she's going to sit on my head and shit!"

The queen clutched her head in great pain.

Nanny Qi hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Oh, Ma'am! We don't want to think about these things anymore, just think about the marriage of His Royal Highness Prince Chen!"

The queen waved her hand impatiently.

"What else can I do?"

"Yan'er's wedding is next month, how can I care so much by myself, I have to let Princess Ping come over to help!"

"As for the East Palace, hum! There are some things, how can it be so easy to hide!"

The queen's eyes were burning, and a trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes.

Nanny Qi knew that she had another idea, so she didn't try to persuade her again.

……

Yun was placed under house arrest and lost the opportunity to perform in front of the queen, which made her very annoyed and hated Tang Wanning.

In addition to smashing things in the room, she also went on a hunger strike, hanged herself, took poison, etc. to get the prince's attention.

It's a pity that the ideal is too full and the reality is too skinny. Xia Houjue didn't talk to her, let alone say a word for her.

A big play that was supposed to be the focus turned into a one-man show, and the performers gradually became restless. Without the favor, Yun's life was very difficult.

At the same time, Princess Ping's life is not easy.

She is already pregnant, and she is still in the first three months, which is the time to take care of her baby.

Who would have thought that the queen would call her into the palace with a verbal order and arrange for her to do a lot of tedious work.

In the scorching midsummer and the scorching sun, ordinary people don't want to move, let alone a pregnant woman, but the Queen is her serious mother-in-law, so she dare not say a word.

I had to endure the hesitation, and came back every day at the hour of the day, exhausted, in a trance, and suffering unspeakably.

King Ping was also full of anger, and even King Ping's biological mother, Concubine Chen, hated and poisoned the queen for a while.

It's a pity that she is only a concubine. The empress has ruled the harem for many years.

At most, they can only be silently dissatisfied behind their backs.

……

Time passed day by day, and it was the end of the month.

The capital city was getting hotter and hotter, Tang Wanning couldn't sit still, her heart of wanting to leave the palace became more and more agitated, more and more unable to restrain herself.

Every morning before her morning exercises, she would spend a while at the window, and occasionally when Xia Houjue came to visit her, she would count the days on her fingers.

"Hey! Didn't you say you're going south this summer? When, how many days?"

Xia Houjue got impatient with her questions, so he had to find her a steady stream of various fruits, as well as new gadgets from the streets and alleys, in order to silence her.

Of course, the effect is not obvious.

Every time she came back, Tang Wanning still asked.

Xia Houjue's face became colder and colder as he asked, staring at her with dark eyes: "You want to go out that much?"

"Yeah yeah!"

Her eyes were bright, twinkling, like the brightest stars in the sky.

Xia Houjue couldn't help swallowing, turned his head aside, and said coldly.

"You can go out, but there is one condition!"

"What condition?" Someone's eyes became brighter.

"You have to dress up as a man! In addition, there is neither a carriage nor a sedan chair for this trip, and you can eat and sleep in the wind and the sun, can you do it?"

Tang Wanning touched her fairer but still honey-colored complexion, and smiled boldly.

"Small things, I grew up in the northwest, and I have seen everything in the windy, sandy desert, and it is not a problem to eat and sleep in the open!"

"When I dress up as a man, I will definitely look more like a man than a man, and no one will recognize me!"

Xia Houjue subconsciously glanced at her chest, and murmured unconsciously.

"That's true!"

When Tang Waning realized that she was going to kick him, Xia Houjue turned away with a dark face and turned to leave.

"Hey, don't go, dead man! How am I like a man?"

Scratching her head, Tang Wanning felt that she had said something wrong, so she added another sentence.

"Even if I look like a man, I'm still the most handsome man in the world! I must be more attractive than you, just wait!"

Before the words finished, Xia Houjue had long since disappeared.

Leaving Tang Wanning alone, she held her breath and couldn't get out for a long time.

Xiahou felt much more relaxed, he almost smiled all the way back to Chongming Hall.

It's just that this smile is a bit weird, probably because she doesn't smile very often, and she hasn't laughed much since she was a child.

So he suddenly smiled like this, and Li Dequan expressed that he was under a lot of pressure.

He didn't know what happened inside just now, he only knew that the master took a few steps, his shoulders shook a few times, and after walking a few more steps, his shoulders shook a few more times.

He was so frightened that cold sweat broke out layer after layer, and he almost knelt down, not daring to say a word.

Xia Houjue noticed that something was wrong with him, so he didn't kick him for the first time, but turned around and cursed lightly: "Trash!"

Li Dequan breathed a sigh of relief, not daring to think about it anymore.

The master and servant returned to Chongming Hall.

Xia Houjue didn't have time to take back the smile on the corner of his mouth. The servants of Chongming Palace were so frightened when they saw him that they couldn't walk easily.

Xia Houjue didn't pay attention and smiled.

Those servants were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground: "His Royal Highness, spare me!!"

Xia Houjue: "..."

Surprised, stunned, with a dark face, he kicked the little eunuch who was the leader and knelt down fiercely.

"Forgive me, all of you will get lost!"

The little eunuchs rolled away, and Li Dequan took a deep breath and escaped successfully.
