Thin Mei·Love Fragrance Quilt

Chapter 140

But Qianmei pulled him slightly behind the pillars on the corridor, avoiding the eyes of everyone, and whispered to him with a smile: "It's nothing. I just thought that you would pass by here in a while, right here I've been waiting. Who knows it's been so long!"

Tang Tianxiao couldn't help holding her hand, and said softly, "I discussed something with the queen mother... I have a minister who wants to meet with me, and the booklets are almost piled up in the room. I am busy, and I don't have time to accompany you."

Ke Qianmei said: "I know you must be busy these few days, so I took the time to look at you more."

Tang Tianxiao said: "Will you feel better if you look at me a few more times?"

But Qian Mei nodded seriously, and said sadly, "I haven't seen you for a while, and I feel empty and panicked."

Tang Tianxiao plucked a fallen leaf from her hair, scraped her nose, and said in a low voice, "Seeing you now, isn't your heart empty?"

Ke Qianmei put her arms around his waist with a smile and said, "Of course I'm very happy now."

Tang Tianxiao asked: "You don't intend to ask me, how does the queen mother evaluate you?"

But Qianmei leaned against his chest with her eyes closed, and said with a lazy smile: "The Queen Mother doesn't like me very much. But you will naturally help me, so that I won't be wronged."

Tang Tianxiao's heart trembled, and he said with a smile, "So you believe me?"

But Qianmei still kept her eyes closed, but raised her face slightly, her soft lips brushed against his neck lightly, her fair face was as icy and smooth as jade, soft as if she had a faint halo.

She said: "I believe in you. You are my dear husband-in-law, and I am your sympathetic wife."

Tang Tianxiao's palm was cold and hot for a while, and his breathing paused for a while.

That's right, he almost died once, and holding her in his arms again, it was like meeting him again.

He made her believe him, telling her time and time again that he was her dear husband and she was his wife.

After saving him, she can never go back.He is indeed her close relative's husband-in-law, and she is indeed his sympathetic wife.

Maybe, she...has only him.

The phoenix eyes were so moist that they seemed to be able to drip water, he smiled softly, bowed his head and kissed her.

With a low cry of joy, she raised her head on tiptoe and offered her lips and tongue.

Si. Grinding, lingering.

Lingering, deep. Into.

But it's always not enough, not enough to achieve the blending and meeting they hoped for.

The sun was so intense that it shone on her body, as if it was going to burn every inch of her skin.

Jin Qi coughed not far away.

Tang Tianxiao turned his head, and followed his servants and guards to the side of the main road, but he didn't dare to go far, wishing to cover his eyes so that he wouldn't look at the beautiful scene in front of him.

Although they were standing behind the colonnade, the colonnade may not be too narrow for the two lingering people, saying that it can avoid people's eyes is simply deceiving.

Jin Qi coughed, it must be because someone from the palace came over on the road, reminding Tang Tianxiao to pay attention to the occasion.

It's really inappropriate to act like this just after leaving Deoksugung Palace.

He is used to flirting and is not afraid of others' words, but she may not be able to stand up to others' gossip.

He let her go, fondled her flushed cheeks that were still gorgeous with his fingers, and said, "Go back to the palace first, I'll go find you after I've dealt with some urgent matters at hand."

Ke Qianmei nodded, looking at him with fascination.She sighed faintly: "You say that you are an emperor, why are you so good-looking? No matter how you look at it, you can never get tired of it..."

Tang Tianxiao was funny and proud at the same time, glaring at her sullenly, and said: "You are getting taller and thinner, and you are still standing under the sun, so you are not afraid of getting tanned! You will be thin and dark by then, be careful, I am tired of seeing you You! You are not going back to the palace yet!"

But Qian Mei agreed, and then walked along the corridor to Yiqing Palace.

Tang Tianxiao took two steps in the direction of the avenue, and couldn't help but look back at her again, but she was also turning to look at him.

The four eyes met, but Qian Mei put her hand to her lips in the shape of a trumpet, and while walking back, she said loudly to him: "I just sent melons over there. They taste very good. I just left them behind." The two asked them to make sweet bowls, remember to come early to try something new later, and I will eat it all later!"

Tang Tianxiao frowned, raised his hand and said, "Understood, you...be careful behind you..."

Before finishing speaking, Ke Qianmei, who was only going backwards, staggered, tripped over the base of the railing, and even bumped the back of her head against the pillar.

She casually touched the painful place, but didn't care, and turned around slowly.

Seeing Tang Tianxiao approaching, Zhuo Rui asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, do you want to pass on the edict just now?"

When Jin Qi and the others heard this, they all hid their mouths and laughed.

Tang Tianxiao was stunned, and then remembered that he planned to distance himself from her a little bit, but for some reason, he got entangled with her so passionately. Unfortunately, he was seen by his confidantes, and opened his mouth to make fun of her.

He glared at Zhuo Rui, and said: "There is no palace person following her, and I don't know how these people serve. Since you like to run errands, send her back to the palace, and then wait at the gate of the palace, waiting for her When the sweet bowl is ready, come and tell me immediately! If I can’t eat the first sweet bowl she made, I’ll put you in the ice cellar to make sweet bowls!"

Zhuo Rui was annoyed at the moment that he shouldn't be quick to talk, so he had to take his orders and quickly chase Ke Qianmei.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
But Qian Mei was walking, seeing Zhuo Rui chasing after her, she wondered, "Zhuo Wuyong, why are you here?"

Zhuo Rui replied: "The emperor is afraid that Concubine Shu will eat up all the sweet bowls, so let me guard them and let him know when I make the first one."

Ke Qianmei stroked the ends of her hair, her eyes were shining brightly, and she was full of smiles.

Zhuo Rui saw that her eyebrows were curved, her appearance was beautiful, and even the maple leaves beside her were dazzlingly bright and charming, so she held her breath, and said after a long time: "The emperor values ​​Concubine Shu very much in his heart. I and the emperor five Years, I have never seen him be so serious about any concubine."

After finishing speaking, I felt that I had spoken abruptly.

He has always been trusted by Tang Tianxiao, and he went to Beihe to greet his relatives, and his relationship with Ke Qianmei is not comparable to that of an ordinary guard.But it was never his turn to judge the relationship between the emperor and concubine.

But Qian Mei didn't think there was anything wrong. Looking at the majestic and magnificent golden tiles in front of her, she said leisurely: "He... treats me very well. If it keeps like this... it's also very good."

Her eyes flashed suddenly, and she suddenly asked him: "Have you been with the emperor for five years?"

Zhuo Rui was stunned, and said: "That's right, in February of the tenth year of Jiahe, Li Mingchang, the last emperor of Southern Chu, descended to Dazhou, and the capital of Dazhou was moved from the north to Ruidu immediately, because some of them were recruited from the people before they arrived. Then I dispatched many servants to the palace from the disciples of the generals and the guards, and I have followed the emperor since then."

"Oh?"

But Qianmei turned her eyes to look at him, and when she was about to say something, she frowned slightly and lowered her head.

Zhuo Rui tentatively asked: "Is the concubine Shu wanting to ask the emperor something?"

But Qian Mei didn't speak, she bowed her head and walked forward quickly.

Zhuo Rui looked at her, if he was in a hurry, he might bump into a pillar or palace wall again, so he hurriedly walked to the front to lead her, and said with a smile: "Concubine Shu, don't be too anxious. If the sweet bowl is made too early, The emperor's matter has not been dealt with in time, and if he can't catch up for a while, it won't be fresh if left alone."

But Qian Mei then slowed down her pace, rolled her eyes in confusion, and said after a long time: "Zhuo Rui, although the emperor can't be called a tyrant who loves the people like a son, he can't be called a tyrant, right?"

Zhuo Rui smiled and said: "That's natural. The emperor's disposition, in fact, couldn't be more easy-going. Otherwise, how dare those old ministers in front of and behind him even point and poke at the emperor's bedside affairs? Cut off a few, let's see who dares to pretend to be noble! I think the emperor treats them too politely, so he treats them as a blessing!"

But her shallow and charming eyes suddenly became dark and bottomless.

She paused and asked: "When the emperor personally led the troops to fight, was his method very cruel?"

Zhuo Rui couldn't figure out why she would ask this question, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "When two sides fight, either you die or I die. It can't be called cruel, right? Back then when Marquis Kang rebelled, the emperor fought back desperately. Those who were killed or injured were all the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they were forced to do nothing. But the emperor treated Kanghou...in fact, it is considered tolerant."

But there seemed to be a slight mist floating in Qianmei's eyes, and she said slowly: "I'm not asking about the chaos of the Marquis of Kang... At that time, it was already the world of the Great Zhou, and their brothers fighting for the throne would not involve innocent lives. civil."

Zhuo Rui became more and more puzzled, and said: "Then... When did Concubine Shu want to ask? Before the Kanghou Rebellion, the regent had not passed away, and the emperor rarely asked about state affairs, let alone lead troops to fight; After the chaos, the world was at peace, and the world was peaceful, and there has been no war so far."

But Qianmei's uneven breathing seemed to tremble.

She looked straight into Zhuo Rui's eyes and asked, "You mean, when the regent was alive, the emperor never went to battle at all?"

Zhuo Rui pondered and said: "It can't be said that he has never been on the battlefield, can he? After the regent king crossed the river with his troops and horses, he was fully confident that he could win Ruidu, and sent troops to the northern capital to welcome the queen mother and the emperor. Rui Du was shot down with the emperor's own eyes!"

Ke Qianmei nodded, "At that time, the army was in the hands of the regent, and even if there were orders to massacre the city and the clan, it should have been issued by the regent, right?"

Zhuo Rui couldn't help laughing, "Concubine Shu, is there someone who maliciously slandered the emperor? None of us know the emperor's temperament? Even the regent is not a cruel person. Great Zhou wanted to rule the world since Emperor Wu, What we want is for all the people to return to their hearts, so there is room for even dealing with the royal family of Nanchu, let alone civilians. I was in the Imperial Guard at the time, and I also fought in many places, and I can see clearly. Whether the regent or the emperor or The Empress Dowager wants to win the hearts of the people. Every time she captures a city, the first thing she does is to issue a notice to reassure the people, and restrain her officers and men not to disturb the common people. Any incident of robbery or adultery will be punished by military law. Massacre the city? Exterminate the clan? Who made up this rumor , and it's really ridiculous!"

But Qianmei's face was blushing, but she smiled lively and brightly, and said, "Actually, I never believed it. It's just that I never thought about it..."

She suddenly shut up, turned her toes and made a circle on the spot before continuing to run forward, said with a smile: "Although the imperial palace is a bit stuffy, it's a big place, and it's not bad to stay for a lifetime! Heh..."

From the corridor to the front of Yiqing Palace, all the roads are paved with bluestones of the same size, but the patterns of flowers, birds, insects and fish are inlaid with five-color pebbles in the middle, which are different and full of interest.

Wherever you look, you can see the vastness of the pavilions, as if bearing the clouds; the corridors and pavilions are winding, with nine twists and turns.

This Ruidu Imperial Palace, after several wars and repairs, is indeed magnificent.

However, for someone like Ke Qianmei to be willing to stay within the palace walls for a lifetime, I'm afraid that being gorgeous is not enough.

Zhuo Rui sighed sadly when he thought of the young emperor who missed her sweet bowl.

Coupled with their love, the bargaining chip became heavier.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
But the shallow sweet bowl may not be very delicious.

She knew almost nothing about cooking and eating, if it wasn't for the handy maids around her, the things she made might not be edible at all.

Fortunately, Tang Tianxiao didn't really care whether the sweet bowl was good or not, but Qian Mei seemed to be in a good mood anyway, and she devoted herself to joking and joking with him. It was much sweeter and more delicious than the sweet bowl, enough for him to feast on.

And what the Empress Dowager Xuan ordered, after all, was no match for the concubine's concubine's money, but it was ignored intentionally or unintentionally.

Because he only favored Concubine Shu, there were many rumors spread in the palace, most of which were not good for Ke Qianmei, Tang Tianxiao didn't hear it.
