Chapter 2 Confrontation
The chief eunuch returned to Qianqing Palace, saw the emperor looking for something in front of the bookshelf, hurried over and said, "What is the emperor looking for? The servant is here."

The emperor frowned, and said: "I remember that the queen's grandfather had a book, but he forgot to lose his name and where he left it.
The chief eunuch said, "I remember that the emperor threw it in the wastebasket."

The emperor paused for a moment, and looked a little annoyed, and scolded: "If I throw it in, you won't pick it up?"

The chief eunuch smiled and said, "The slave has naturally been picked up. Your Majesty, wait a moment, the slave will find it for you."

The emperor glared at him, then took tea to moisten his throat before pacing back to the case.

The emperor is wearing a silver-blue dark embroidered uniform today, with a jade belt to tie his waist, and a pair of black leather boots on his feet.The whole person looks playful and straight.He was only 15 years old, his skin was pink, and he looked quite decent, but there was some cold mockery in his dark eyes, which made him look very uncoordinated.

The chief eunuch finished flipping through the bookshelves, then opened the next one, and took out a small box.

The emperor was drinking tea, and asked his back: "You go to the queen, what does the little girl say?"

He is at the age of rebellion, and he hates others to say that he is still young, but there is no pressure to call others a little girl.

The chief eunuch said: "The empress said she had written it down, and asked the emperor to take care of the dragon's body."

She didn't say anything else?

The head eunuch paused for a moment, and said: "It's not like there's nothing... This servant feels that the Empress seems to be relieved."

The emperor said: "She is generous, but she is not unhappy when I neglect her?"

The chief eunuch knew that the emperor was awkward, so he didn't answer much.

The emperor became more and more angry.He had behaved mischievously in the harem for the past two months, and was prepared to be troubled by the censor, but the censor turned blind collectively, focused all his attention on the Yellow River, and impeached many people for the crime of bad governance of the river.These people were arguing in the hall, and they all seemed reasonable, but he couldn't get in a word, so he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

After returning to the dormitory, I looked for some memorials about the river worker, and after reading it, it was time for dinner.

The chief eunuch came to remind him that it was time to drive to the queen and have dinner with the queen.

Only then did the emperor realize that he had tossed so much, but in the end he was completely ignored, it was like playing a monkey show.Then he thought that the chief culprit who made him dizzy and played monkey games was this queen, so he opened his mouth and said, "I won't go!"

In fact, he himself also felt that it was unreasonable for him to bully a little girl like this. Today, he planned to give the queen a sweet date.If the chief eunuch said a word to the queen at this time, the emperor would go.

But the chief eunuch took the emperor's words and said: "The queen asked, what did the servant say?"

The emperor replied casually: "I don't feel well, I don't want to go!"

When the chief eunuch went to deliver the message, he regretted it a little.But he also wanted to see the empress looking hopeless and helpless, so he endured it and waited for the head eunuch to come back.

As a result, he released the queen's pigeons, and the queen dared to give him a "breath of relief".

The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally he couldn't bear it any longer. He dropped the cup in his hand, and said with a sneer, "Isn't she relieved? I'll let her be more comfortable, deliver the decree, and drive Mingxiu Palace!"

The queen fell into a drowsy sleep, and vaguely heard a very low voice.

"Is the lady asleep?"

"Just fell asleep."

"Did you drink the papaya porridge?"

"Your Majesty said that drinking before going to bed is easy to gain weight, she seems unwilling...but I still drank half a glass."

"Okay, back off."

The queen heard Xiaoyu's voice, and knew that the two of them had finally returned from their night tour.She was too lazy to get up, so she turned over and continued to sleep.

The queen just fell asleep and began to dream, but she vaguely heard the sound of chaotic footsteps and the voice of surprise: "The dragon chariot is here, the emperor is coming!"

The corner of the queen's mouth twitched, thinking that she didn't expect this, how could she have such a dream.

Then was shaken awake.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the face of the maid A'Zhu, those iconic almond eyes were widened, and the empress was startled by being so close.

"Your Majesty, get up quickly, the emperor is here!" the maid A'Zhu said frantically.

The queen said with a headache, "Impossible."

The door was opened with a "bang", and Xiaoyu said out of breath: "It's true, I saw the dragon chariot. It's gold, inlaid with such a big pearl, and it's four meters wide. There are many people behind it." .”

The queen rubbed her forehead with a headache, the maid A'Zhu had already dragged her up to dress her and comb her hair.The serving maids also came in in a row carrying toilet utensils.The people outside have already started to light candles, sprinkle sweepings, and burn incense, ready to greet them.

For a time, the inside and outside of the palace were flying like dogs and dogs.

I have to say that this group of people are very agile in their hands and feet, and everything is ready in just half a stick of incense.

The maid, A'Zhu, also gave the queen a good head.Time was running out, and there was no time to do complicated hairstyles, so I just tied my hair in a bun on the top of my head, fixed it with sheer gauze, and put pearl flowers on the hairpins on both sides.The queen took a photo under the ambiguous halo of the red candle, and felt that this was clearly a fancy Taoist bun, with some mortal hearts in the sedate abstinence, which was a bit thought-provoking.

The maid, A'Zhu, was already urging her, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, hurry up and meet her."

It's autumn, and the nights are a bit chilly.The queen was wearing a deep red jujube-colored Shu brocade dress with hundreds of butterflies, a red skirt on her lower body, and a plain blue golden silk scarf. She stood in front of the gate of Shoucheng Hall to greet her.The queen's regular clothes are all about grace, often with broad robes and wide sleeves.The queen felt the wind pouring in from all directions, and the thin layer of underwear inside couldn't resist the cold at all.

I couldn't help shivering twice, and all sleepiness disappeared in an instant.

In front of the gate of Shoucheng Hall, the maids lined up in two rows, kneeling on the steps with glazed octagonal palace lanterns in their hands.Looking at it from the queen's point of view, it is quite spectacular.However, compared to the sixteen-carrying dragon chariot before and after the Luanjia, the maids with lanterns like dragons and the guards like the Great Wall are just mediocre.

Long Nian stopped in front of Shoucheng Hall.

The husband and wife, separated by rows of palace lanterns, looked at each other from a distance in the cold wind.

The night was dim and the lights were dim, and it was more than a dozen steps away, and even the emperor's face could not be seen clearly, but the queen subconsciously felt that the emperor sneered at her.

The dragon chariot set off again, turned a corner, and headed southeast of the palace.

The queen had been watching the emperor disappear into the night, and when she turned her head to see the people kneeling on the ground, all of them were puzzled and hesitant but did not dare to look up, feeling a little ashamed after knowing it.

She yawned, turned around and waved her hands, and said to the court ladies who had been tricked: "The saint has passed, everyone go back to sleep."
