Empress: The Old Emperor's Way to Pursue His Wife

Chapter 162 Warming (1)

In the early summer season, it is a bit hot, and the stuffy room is even hotter.

With the opening of the window sill, a gentle breeze blew into the room, blowing away the mixed smell of blood and damp mustiness in the room.

Xiao Yi sat on the edge of the bed, with her back facing the inside of the bed, her hands supporting the edge of the bed, she lowered her head and stared at the blood stains on the ground, and the clean embroidered shoes ran across the blood stains, drawing red lines one after another.

Mei Qing half leaned against the head of the bed, 'quietly' looking at the woman's back, without saying a word.

"Cough...cough cough...cough cough cough cough..." The cough that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out like a fountain.

A little bit of scarlet was scattered, and when Xiao Yi turned her head, Mei Qing was lying on the bedside, the blood from his mouth sprayed half of her face, and even her clothes were dyed bright red, like red plums in full bloom.

"Little master." Xiao Yi hastily stretched out her hand and patted Mei Qing's back lightly, with an anxious expression but helpless.

The cough gradually subsided, Mei Qing propped herself up and lay back on the bed, her lips full of blood were parted, "It's nothing, please trouble the Empress to pour me a cup of tea and rinse my mouth."

The white teeth were covered with blood red, and the forced smile added to the desolation of such a weak life.

Xiao Yi nodded slightly, intending to stand up and pour tea, but Mei Qing suddenly leaned forward again, vomited a mouthful of blood on Xiao Yi's embroidered shoes, soaked her clothes, and her toes and insteps were warm and wet.

Xiao Yi hurriedly got a cup of tea and brought it to Mei Qing to drink.

"Mr. Mei, you..."

……

The sun is high in the sky, and the wind in the air is no longer cool, but becomes warm as the temperature rises.

In the gazebo near the lake, Xiao Yi and Sanata sat on the stone table to take advantage of the coolness of the lake and blow some cool breeze.

It is better to plant a big tree next to this gazebo, the branches cover most of the gazebo, just like the gazebo at the Moon Building.

It's just that there is a running water lake here, which is cooler.

Both of them had put on their summer palace makeup, and their clothes were considered thin, but the long-sleeved gown was still very hot under the scorching sun.

Sanata held a book in her hand, and she was singing the poems in the book in a low voice, instead of wiping the sweat off her face with a silk handkerchief.

Every time she finished singing a poem, she would quietly listen to Xiao Yi explaining the meaning of the poem to her.

Ever since Rong Delang interpreted the words "Ode to the Nagato" for her on that day, she has become very interested in these words. She no longer pesters Professor Xiao Yi to embroider, but interprets poems every day.

Poems sang out of her mouth one after another, and she fell more and more in love with these poems composed of different words, because they had a different kind of mysterious charm.

"Guanguan Jujiu, in the continent of the river, slim and obedient, a gentleman likes to be handsome." After speaking, the corners of her bright red lips twitched slightly.

Xiao Yi explained the meaning of this word to her just now, but on this side, she couldn't help falling in love with this song.

Not for anything else, just because of the man's love for the woman, which moved her heart.

In daydreams, she will regard this man as Xiao Shu, and she is this gentle lady.

"Sasa, let's stop here today, come, drink some water to quench your thirst."

Xiao Yi added some water to Sanata's cup, Sanata took it with a smile, took a sip, and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand.

Now she is already a very qualified big Chu woman, gentle, quiet, and pleasant.

Every gesture is unreasonably gentle, and when he is in a good mood, he will occasionally reveal his mischievous nature.

If it weren't for her exotic face, Xiao Yi would have thought she was a lady from an official family or a wealthy family, not Princess Rongdi who almost killed Xiao Xi'er when she first met.

Alas, she could feel that this girl had changed from the bottom of her heart, but... no matter what happened, she would really go against Xiao Shu's wishes and marry this girl to him.

Who made her pay so much for him.

Several workers walked into the gazebo quietly, and the leading nun saluted first, and then served two plates of summer cold drinks that were crushed with ice cubes and served with some fruit pulp.

Xiao Yi greeted Sanata to eat, and asked the nanny casually, "Where is the emperor at the moment? Did you send some to the emperor?"

Mammy: "Go back to the Empress, the emperor is reviewing the memorial in the imperial study, and the cold food was delivered earlier."

"Well, let's go down." Xiao Yi waved away the nanny and the palace servants, and sat with Sanata in the gazebo, eating cold drinks.

No matter how ladylike the two of them ate, due to the heat, the two plates of cold drinks quickly ran out.

Sanata still clung to the spoon after eating, staring greedily at the empty dishes.

When Xiao Yi saw it, she sneered: "You still want to eat?"

Sanata blushed and nodded.

In Rongdi, there is no habit of storing ice cubes. In this summer, even the hot people will be roasted, and there is no such cold food to eat.

After all, he is still young, greedy for coolness, and greedy for new things.

Xiao Yi smiled slightly, her phoenix eyes rolled around, and said with a smile: "Why don't I take you to the imperial dining room?"

"What are you doing in the imperial dining room?"

"Let's go and make cool snacks by ourselves."

Xiao Yi left as soon as she said she would, and Sanata followed her excitedly. For a moment, she forgot about her sexuality, and then jumped up two steps like her usual cheerful temper. Feeling impolite, she quickly lowered her head and obediently followed in the back.

The two came to the imperial dining room, but they were so busy that the imperial cooks followed behind, doing chores that they didn't need to do on weekdays.

Xiao Yi thought there were too many people, so she drove out all those flatterers, leaving only her and Sanata to work in the imperial dining room.

Fortunately, this cool product is easy to make, but it takes effort to chop the ice.

Sanata was good at kung fu, so she volunteered to do the job of chipping the ice, while Xiao Yi took the fruit, peeled or cut it, or crushed it into the crushed ice.

Several bowls of cool products are finished, and each bowl of juice mixed with crushed ice has a different taste, and then sprinkled with fruit pulp, which is colorful and really beautiful.

Sanata then picked up a bowl of cold food and ate it. She made it herself now, and it seemed to taste even better.

Xiao Yi snapped her fingers in the air.

A black shadow jumped from nowhere and landed in front of the two of them, clasped fists and said, "Empress Empress."

Xiao Yi brought him a bowl of cold food, "Here, Li Zhong, you have worked hard too, cool off."

Li Zhong: "This, humble job..."

"Okay." Xiao Yi stuffed this bowl of cold food into his hand, then took another bowl and stuffed it into his hand. "You are good at qinggong, hurry up and send it to her, there should be still time."

"This..." Li Zhong looked at the two bowls of cold food in his hand, hesitating.

Xiao Yi roared: "What is this, hurry up, by the way, if you are willing to give up some internal strength, this cool product should still be intact in Xiaozhu's hands."

Xiao Yihong hurried, but did not forget to mention something.

Li Zhong couldn't help it, Quan took it as an order, and left quickly.

Well, a heartwarming and sweet command.

Sanata picked up the cold food and said with a smile: "You are so kind to him, empress, and Qiu Zhu, you are so kind to her."

"It's as if I'm not treating you well."

"The empress is kind to Sanata, and Sanata knows it. It is all because of the teaching of the empress that I am what I am today."

Now that I have become like this, he should like it, right?
Sanata lowered her head, immersed herself in the cool drink, and snickered softly.

Seeing the attitude of such a young daughter made Xiao Yi's heart shudder.

If she can't stop Sanata from thinking about Xiao Shu this time, she will definitely make Sanata her sister-in-law, even if... Xiao Shu will never like Sanata in this life, she, Xiao Yi, will also let this girl be in love with her. The Xiao family will never be bullied.

Xiao Yi picked up a bowl of cold food and went out.

"Where are you going, Empress?" Sanata slammed the cold drink in his hand, eating too anxiously, no longer the posture that a lady should have.

Xiao Yi stopped and looked back, seeing her yelling because her mouth was suddenly filled with crushed ice and it was too cool, she burst into a smile.

"I want to send it to the emperor to taste, after all, it was made by the two of us."

"I'm going too." Sanata jumped happily, put down the empty bowl, and picked it up again when she saw that there was still a bowl of cold food.

Seeing Xiao Yi staring at her, Sanata lowered her head shyly, and called out in a low voice: "Empress Empress."

She seems to eat too much at once, which seems to be a big taboo for a lady.

Xiao Yi smiled and shook her head, picked up the cold food and continued to walk outside, "Hurry up, wait a little longer, this cool food will melt."

The truth is, cold drinks don't melt.

Because along the way Xiao Yi used her internal energy to maintain her temperature, but Sanata, a silly girl, was busy eating her own food and didn't pay attention.

When the two came to the door of the imperial study, Xiao Yi raised her hand and shushed, stopped the announcement from the servant inside the gate, and sneaked in first.

Sanata stood at the door and ate the cold food before finishing it, while pricking up her ears to listen to the movement inside.

But for a long time, there was no sound at all.

How could there be no sound?She is still waiting for the emperor to praise it.

Sanata glanced at the guarding servant, only to realize that his expression was not quite right, could it be that there is something strange in it?
Stepping lightly, Sanata stepped into the imperial dining room lightly, and saw Xiao Yi standing beside the table where the emperor usually used to review memorials, but there was no sign of Xiao Yi in front of the table.

Xiao Yi stood up straight, but the trembling all over her body was visible to the naked eye.

The emperor is obviously not here, what happened to Xiao Yi?
Sanata approached and raised his hand to pat Xiao Yi's shoulder, but when his eyes touched the person on the soft couch inside, he loosened the finger holding the bowl...

Boom! - Boom! ——Bang bang bang!
"Who?" Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes, spread his hands and stretched his waist. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Yi standing beside the desk and smiled.

"Yueyue, you're here. Hey! What's in your hand? Could it be you..."

"Emperor...Empress Empress." A deep, soft voice sounded from Xiao Yi's chest, and a pair of crisp hands wrapped around Xiao Yi's waist. "Empress, servant... slave... Your Majesty..."

Xiao Yi's downcast eyes collided with a pair of watery eyes, which made him back up in fright, and then fell off the soft couch to the ground.

The maid in front of her is half undressed, her breasts are half exposed, her hair is slightly messed up, and on her neck...

Xiao Yi glanced at his clothes again, and it turned out to be just like this court lady, which made him scream in fright.

The palace maid timidly climbed down from the soft couch, climbed up to Xiao Yi and threw herself into his arms, crying: "Your Majesty, since this servant is yours, you can't ignore the life and death of this servant, Your Majesty." ,emperor……"

A soft whisper, hit Xiao Yi's little heart one after another.

He was so frightened by this scene, he was still thinking carefully that he was just lying on the soft couch for a while, why... until he looked at Xiao Yi in fear, and caught a glimpse of the imperceptible corner of her mouth. The smile is clear.

But since the play has already started, then he, the actor who was cast, should do his best.

Xiao Yi pushed the palace maid hard, stood up and straightened the messy dragon robe.
