The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1040 Returning to the Palace (3)
At the gate of Duanyang Palace, Xiao Jun held her hand and got off the dragon chariot. As soon as she stepped into the palace gate, she saw Yun Lan and Xiao Xiangzi leading all the people in the palace. , to welcome the empress back to the palace, the empress is a thousand years old."

"Get up, why is it so grand?" Seeing them again, Qingchen felt like returning home.

Yun Lan said with tears in her eyes: "The emperor and the empress should go into the house to have a rest. The servants and servants are already ready as the emperor ordered earlier. The empress should change clothes and have a meal before taking a bath?"

Seeing that it was getting late and it was time for dinner, Qingchen looked at the emperor tenderly and said, "That's fine."

Even though the courtyard was still bright with the lanterns on, when going up the steps, Qingchen accidentally tripped, but luckily the emperor didn't let go of her hand, so she didn't fall down.

As the emperor entered the small flower hall, Qingchen couldn't help being startled, seeing a night pearl the size of a child's fist hanging on each of the four corners of the room, illuminating the room as brightly as day, even at night, she It can still be seen that although she has been away for two years, things here are still the same as before, nothing has changed, as if she has never left.

There were hot meals on the table, all of which she usually liked to eat, Qinxue helped her wash her hands, and Yun Lan followed her to the inner room to change clothes.

Only then did Qingchen discover that there were also four luminous pearls hanging in the Xinuang Pavilion. She was a little surprised and asked, "How does the emperor know that my eyes can't see clearly?"

While helping her change clothes, Yun Lan said: "Last year, on the emperor's birthday, Murong Shaocheng, King Jing'an of Dayu Kingdom, sent two medicinal herbs, saying that they were for the eyes of the empress. I was so sad that my eyes were broken from crying. The emperor was afraid that the treatment would be delayed and it would be difficult to recover, so he sent extra people to look for the mother's trace, but they couldn't find her. In a hurry, he beat Jinxiu and blamed her Didn’t protect the empress well. But now it’s all right, the servants are looking left and right, and finally they are looking forward to the empress coming back.”

Seeing everything familiar in the room, Qingchen also said with emotion: "Yeah, finally I'm back, I thought I'd never see you again, but now that I'm back, I always feel unreal like a dream but extremely happy. "

Yun Lan helped her tie up her hair, and picked out a few simple jewelry to wear on her head, making her look elegant and pleasant, "My lady is back, the happiest person is the emperor, and the slaves haven't seen the emperor's face for a long time. There is such a comfortable smile."

"Actually, why am I not? No matter how big the outside world is, without the emperor by my side, I will never be able to truly enjoy myself. Only when I have a choice do I realize that, in fact, I prefer to stay by his side."

Holding Yun Lan's hand, she came out and saw Xiao Jun was cleaning her hands. She wanted to go up to help, but the emperor smiled and said, "It's enough to have them, how can you use these things? How about it, you can still see things like this." Is it clear?"

The light of the Ye Mingzhu is soft but not glaring, and it is much brighter than candles, Qingchen hurriedly said: "I thank the emperor for the gift, I can see it, the emperor can rest assured."

The emperor looked into her eyes again and said: "Don't worry, I have asked Yunfeng to prescribe the medicine for you. Tomorrow, you have to cooperate with him in applying acupuncture and moxibustion medicine. I believe that your eyes will be back to normal soon."

"The concubine is already used to it, no matter whether it can be cured or not, the concubine does not feel regretful, as long as the concubine can still see the emperor, other concubines don't care about anything."

"But I don't want to make you suffer like this. No matter what, I will find a way to heal you." Seeing that Yun Lan had prepared the soup for her, Xiao Jun took it and put it in front of her and said, "Okay, let's eat." , after driving for a day, I must be tired and hungry, so let’s eat something first.”

Qingchen lowered her head and took a mouthful of bird's nest soup, but she couldn't bear to turn her head to look at the emperor. Seeing that he was also looking at her with a smile, she said coquettishly: "The emperor doesn't eat it, he just looks at the concubine, and the concubine doesn't eat it either." , the emperor needs to spend more time with his concubines."

"Okay, I will agree to whatever you say." Xiao Jun picked up the chopsticks, put some vegetables on the plate in front of her, and said softly: "I haven't had a meal with you for a long time, and you are here with me." Zhen, my appetite is particularly good. You are not here, every time I come to this Duanyang Palace, I feel sad, I always feel that it is cold everywhere, and only when you come back, I feel that this palace is warm again. With you here , I feel that this is our home."

Qingchen had a sore nose, and tears moistened his eyes again. He said that this is home, and only a place with a loved one can be called home, isn't it?The emperor only has a harem, where can he have a home?But as long as it is the place where he belongs in his heart, and she is with him, this place can be the small home for the two of them.

Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes secretly, Qingchen asked in a low voice: "Since the emperor said that this is the concubine's home and there is no one there, can the concubine be called the emperor's husband?"

Xiao Jun smiled and asked: "Is anyone stopping you? You are obviously not a well-behaved person, and you always want to imitate other people's virtuous appearance, sticking to the rules and etiquette at every turn, neither fish nor fowl, I don't say it, but I actually want to laugh in my heart died."

Qingchen glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, and said stubbornly: "The former concubines are concubines, so naturally they have to set an example for the concubines, how can they be so casual like when they are outside the palace? It wasn't made by the concubines, if you don't follow the rules and lose face to the emperor, then the emperor will say that the concubines are ignorant."

"Okay, you're right, you're always right, I can't say no to you, I'm wrong and I shouldn't make fun of you, imperial concubines are always the most general, is this okay?" Bao Tofu pushed her towards her and said, "Eat quickly, don't bother to argue with me, the food is going to be cold."

After dinner, Xiao Jun leaned on the kang to read a book, waiting for her to take a bath and change clothes. It was a happy feeling to have someone who would make him willing to wait patiently.

Seeing her coming out wiping her wet hair, the emperor threw away the book in his hand, dismissed the servants, and wrung out her hair himself, saying: "I really like to help you do these things, if I'm just an ordinary Man, there will definitely be more time to help you curl your thrushes, drink with you and play the piano with you. It's a pity that I am the emperor. Even if I have this thought, I don't have so much free time to accompany you. Even if I want to spend more time with my wife Boudoir pleasure is a luxury."

Qingchen combed her long hair carefully with the white jade comb, leaned against him and said coquettishly: "Isn't it fine now, just like just now, isn't the emperor doing what an ordinary man often does?" Well, so at least the concubines are very contented. The emperor said he was busy and felt sorry for not being able to spend more time with his concubines, but for couples in ordinary families, many men work outside to make a living, and they don't have much time to accompany their wives, so as long as you feel It's good to have each other. Besides, since the concubines are back, they will naturally try to accompany the emperor as much as possible in the future, and it doesn't have to be the end of the day, just like before, it is good to be quietly accompanied in the imperial study."
