How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

Yan Qiaoling asked, she was a little impatient.

"Your Majesty, I have already sent an envoy, and the Prime Minister should be here soon."

Xue Yuan replied that if she remembered correctly, the current Prime Minister should have been replaced.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

At this time, a maid's voice came from outside the door.

"The Prime Minister has arrived."

Outside the imperial study, Xu Chengling paced back and forth anxiously.

As the saying goes, meeting the king is like meeting a tiger. He could more or less understand how Liu Bang felt when he attended the Hongmen Banquet.

Otherwise he will have to pee later and just wet it directly.

Tong Xin followed behind him without saying a word.

She had no good feelings towards the imperial court. She was hunted by the imperial court in the past. If she had not been saved by her master, she would not be alive now.

"Come in."

A cold voice came from inside the room.

With the permission of the empress, the maid outside the door made a gesture of invitation.

"Tong'er. You stay outside and don't move around without my permission."

"Yes."

After giving Tongxin some instructions, Xu Chengling walked into the study.

Behind a row of bookshelves, he saw the owner of the voice.

He saw a woman in a dragon robe lying on her side on a pearwood kang with her chin in her hand. He could not see her appearance clearly because of the red curtain between them.

As expected of the current emperor, a sense of solemnity immediately came over me.

However, Xu Chengling always felt that the woman behind the curtain looked a bit like his wife.

Maybe it was just that the two looked a bit similar, so he didn't take it too seriously.

"Xu...Qing, you are here. Please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xu Chengling patted his sleeves, bowed, and sat down on the blanket in front of the wooden kang.

Normally, ministers had to kneel and kowtow when they saw the emperor, but as the prime minister, the head of civil officials, he naturally did not need to observe so many complicated etiquette.

"Your Majesty, why did you summon me here?"

Xu Chengling pretended to be calm, cupped his hands and asked.

"You married my sister the day before yesterday. I had something important to do and could not attend the wedding banquet. Is everything okay?"

"Your Majesty, everything is fine."

Xu Chengling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out that the emperor summoned him to the palace just to discuss matters related to his mother's family.

If His Majesty knew that his sister was bullied, he would be doomed.

So he hurriedly said:

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will never let your sister down, nor will I let her suffer any injustice."

"I am relieved that you have this heart."

After hearing what he said, Yan Qiaoling didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

For the sake of Dayan's national dignity, she cannot reveal her identity now, otherwise everything will be messed up.

But there was one thing she had to figure out, otherwise she would not be able to rest all night.

"My dear, I have a question for you."

"Your Majesty, please ask."

Yan Qiaoling took a deep breath and slowly asked:

"How many times did you do it on your wedding night?"

Chapter 14: This Majesty is not too cold, but he is dark

"puff!"

The first person who couldn't hold it in was the woman in green standing behind the curtain, and she spat out the tea she had just drunk.

Even though she had received professional training, Xue Yuan still couldn't hold it together and her facial expression management almost broke down.

Yan Qiaoling glanced at her, glared at her fiercely, and frowned:

"Xue Yuan?"

"Your Majesty, there was a bug in my tea and I spit it out."

Yan Qiaoling naturally didn't believe her lies. She had just looked around and there was no bug at all.

Xue Yuan coughed lightly, tidied her facial expressions, and then said without changing her expression:

"Go on, sir, I am deaf."

"Then you just..."

“There are bugs in the tea.”

"Aren't you deaf?"

A hint of cunning flashed in Yan Qiaoling's eyes, and the corner of her mouth raised slightly.

"..."

Xue Yuan felt like she had been tricked. How could she have fallen into the trap?

"I'll deduct half a month's salary from you."

A mischievous smile appeared on the corner of Yan Qiaoling's mouth.

Xue Yuan felt like crying but had no tears. She had a lot of pain in her heart but couldn't express it. She would have to eat dirt for the next half month.

On the other side, Xu Chengling was confused as he looked at the two people bickering.

Isn't this just sting operation? It's too cruel.

That's not right. In the original novel, the empress should be the cool, steady and majestic queen. After all, she succeeded to the throne at a young age. How could she control her subordinates without some aura?

But he always felt that the empress in front of him seemed a little sinister.

As for the question the empress had just asked, Xu Chengling thought about it and always felt that there was something fishy going on.

After all, this kind of thing is a personal matter. Even if you are the empress, you can't interfere in other people's family affairs.

But Xu Chengling changed his mind and wondered, could it be that the empress was worried that her sister would not be well taken care of by him after she married him?

If that's the case, then it's understandable.

As long as he could show that His Majesty's sister was well taken care of after marrying him and make the empress feel at ease, he could continue to conspire with his wife on big things.

Thinking of this, Xu Chengling looked at the empress behind the curtain with a serious expression and said tentatively:

"Your Majesty, about... six times."

"Ah, so many times?"

Yan Qiaoling was stunned when she heard this. The man she liked had sex with her sister six times in one night, and she didn't even get this treatment.

She couldn't hold it anymore, she felt crazy and messed up her hair.

Why can't it be her?

"puff……"

Xue Yuan on the side wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and her facial expression control almost broke down again.

She had been strictly trained not to laugh, no matter how funny something was.

Unless you can't help it.

Yan Qiaoling took out her little notebook and secretly wrote down:

"Bad Xu Lang owes me six times. Humph, I'll remember this account."

After writing it down, she hid the notebook and tried to control her emotions, constantly reminding herself:

"You are the empress, you are the empress, you...what are you going to pay me back for what you owe me!"

Xu Chengling watched the empress's strange behavior behind the curtain. He couldn't see her expression clearly, but the empress seemed a little excited.

It seems that the empress cares a lot about her sister's affairs. After all, she is her biological sister with the same father and mother.

So Xu Chengling continued to strike while the iron was hot:

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will take good care of your sister and will never let her suffer any injustice."

"Ah ah ah..."

Yan Jixue was going crazy and her mentality was completely broken.

"puff……"

"Xue Yuan, did you laugh just now?"

"..."

Xue Yuan learned her lesson this time. His Majesty must be trying to trap her for enforcement again, so she kept silent this time.

"I noticed that the corners of your mouth moved. I will deduct one month's salary from you, and three months' bonus."

"Woooo..."

From then on, there were two more sad people in the imperial study.

Xu Chengling suddenly felt how miserable it was to be the empress's guard, as his salary would be deducted at any time.

It would be better to be his maid, with free food and lodging, a monthly salary, and no restrictions on personal freedom.

Moreover, the empress's guards must be good at martial arts. If she considers changing jobs, he can take her in.

On the other side, Yan Qiaoling's anger had subsided a lot.

But looking at the lover in front of her, she couldn't reveal her identity for the time being, but she felt very unwilling.

If you do nothing, you will suffer a great loss.

Moreover, she is the empress now, and others must obey her orders.

Thinking of this, Yan Qiaoling couldn't help but smile slightly and said to Xu Chengling who was sitting in front of her:

"My dear, my shoulders are a little sore, please give me a massage."

When Xu Chengling heard this, oh no, the plot is about to begin!

In the original plot, he, as a villain, was seduced by the empress with her beauty, committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, and was beheaded on the spot by three hundred swordsmen who were ambushed at the scene.

Of course, it seems a bit difficult to ambush three hundred swordsmen and axemen in the imperial study, but what if?

For Xu Chengling who is familiar with the plot, trying to seduce him with the beauty trap is impossible!

After all, the lesson from the past is there, he doesn't want to die yet, and his wife is waiting for him to come back home.

Then, Xu Chengling cupped his hands and said to the empress:

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and I am just a commoner. How dare I do anything presumptuous to Your Majesty?"

He certainly wouldn't be fooled, and he wasn't interested in power; he just wanted to lie down and survive.

Moreover, the reason why the empress wanted to plot against him was because he was extremely powerful in the court and threatened her rule.

Since ancient times, imperial power and prime minister's power have been in conflict with each other. When the prime minister's power is strong, the imperial power is weak, and vice versa.

What was the final fate of treacherous ministers since ancient times? Zhao Gao was exterminated with his entire clan, and Qin Hui was cursed for all eternity. Their end was miserable without exception.

In order to show his loyalty to His Majesty, Xu Chengling took this opportunity to continue:
