How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

At this moment, he raised his head and had the chance to look at the woman in dragon robe in front of him.

Before, the empress had always been ruling from behind the curtain, and she rarely showed her true face like this.

He saw the woman in a dragon robe fiddling with the tea set in front of her. Her pretty face looked even younger than he had imagined. She wore a crown on her head and an extremely luxurious dragon robe that suited her status. The slightly exposed skin was as smooth as cream, and she exuded a majestic and noble aura.

Like, so similar!

This pair of blue autumn eyes, delicate nose, and small lips are exactly like my wife at home.

But if you look closely you can still see the difference between the two. The lady is more mature, while the empress is more delicate.

After this comparison, he felt that his wife was more likely to be an empress?

Could it be that he already thinks that my wife is more suitable to be the empress? No, this idea is too dangerous!

Xu Chengling immediately suppressed this bold idea.

"My dear, please have some tea. This is the best tea imported from the Western Regions. It tastes great."

At this time, Yan Qiaoling pushed a cup of brewed tea in front of him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xu Chengling took the cup, smelled it first, took a small sip, and held the tea in his mouth until the tea aroma passed through his tongue, spread to the tongue coating, and then stimulated the taste buds, and then he slowly swallowed it.

"Good tea."

Xu Chengling said that he would know whether it was good tea by tasting it.

"If you like, my dear, I will give you a bag of tea tribute from the Western Regions."

Yan Qiaoling smiled slightly. She was so happy that Xu Lang liked the tea she made.

After finishing his tea, Xu Chengling got straight to the point. Looking at the dragon-robed woman in front of him, he asked:

"Your Majesty secretly summoned me here. Why?"

Yan Qiaoling picked up a piece of cake with her little hands and put it into her mouth. She tasted it and it tasted very good.

"My dear, I heard that you were attacked after leaving the court yesterday?"

"It's true."

Xu Chengling nodded. He probably guessed that His Majesty called him over just to discuss this matter.

"Are you OK?"

Yan Qiaoling asked with some concern. If it were normal times, she would have rushed over, stripped off his clothes and examined him carefully.

But her current identity is the empress, and if she did something so out of line for no reason, it would easily arouse his suspicion.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine."

Xu Chengling bowed and said that from the tone of His Majesty, it seemed that he was not aware of this matter.

Isn't this His Majesty's order?

But how could someone who could become an empress not have some scheming? It is possible that Your Majesty is pretending to be so.

"I heard that your maid was injured. I remember that Nan Jiang offered an ointment to Dayan some time ago. It is very effective in treating external injuries, but I don't know why I can't find it."

Yan Qiaoling sighed softly and said that she had originally wanted to give the ointment to the little maid, after all, she protected her Xu Lang.

But she couldn't find the ointment, so she had to reward the little maid with a top-quality emerald bead, whose value was enough for an ordinary person to spend in ten lifetimes.

She clearly remembered that there was some, which was presented as tribute not long ago and placed in the Imperial Treasure Pavilion. How could it disappear?

After hearing this, Xu Chengling roughly guessed where his wife's ointment came from.

It turns out that this was something his wife had someone steal from the palace and gave it to him.

The lady has him in her heart.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Tong'er is not seriously injured. She will be fine after resting for a while."

Xu Chengling said to His Majesty that he did not mention the ointment.

Don't ask, even if you ask, he won't know.

"Whatever, as long as she's okay."

Yan Qiaoling nodded slightly and didn't intend to continue to dwell on this matter.

"This tea is really good. Take it back and make some. My wife will probably like it."

Xu Chengling picked up the teacup and took a sip, muttering to himself.

When Yan Qiaoling heard this, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad. She was happy that even though he was away, he still cared about her at home.

Of course she also knew that Xu Lang now treated her as his sister and did this for her own good.

Sadly, the one who enjoyed these was her sister, not her.

"My dear, you have been married to my sister for half a month. How is your situation recently?"

"It's not bad. My wife is very virtuous and has fulfilled her obligations as a wife and mother at home."

"So...how many times have you done this during this period?"

"puff!"

Xu Chengling almost spit out his tea.

No, Your Majesty, your focus is very strange. He married my sister, not you. Why do you care about this?

He quickly wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand and explained to His Majesty:

"Not yet. My wife has been feeling unwell recently. I will talk to her when she is better."

Yan Qiaoling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. That was good that her sister didn't cheat on her.

"But I did let my wife help solve it with her hands."

"Um???"

This is like Xu Chengling meeting the empress, with one daring to ask and the other daring to speak.

They can't be called a perfect match, but they can be considered a match made in heaven.

Chapter 42: Your Majesty, I am sorry

It was obviously her who came here first, met him, and was the first one to fall in love with him, so why did it turn out like this?

Xu Chengling watched as His Majesty took out a small notebook from somewhere and scribbled something on it.

After taking note, Yan Qiaoling put away the small notebook she carried with her.

Write it down in a small notebook first, and ask him to pay it back slowly later.

"My wife is still very virtuous."

Xu Chengling picked up the tea set, took a small sip, and observed His Majesty's expression through the cover of the cup.

Very good, there is nothing unusual on your Majesty's face.

"You must treat my sister well. If you treat her badly, I will not forgive you."

Yan Qiaoling forced a smile and said with a fake smile.

"My minister obeys."

Xu Chengling patted his chest and nodded to His Majesty in assurance.

"My dear, please come out for a walk with me."

Yan Qiaoling put down the tea set in her hand, stood up and walked out of the pavilion.

Xu Chengling also stood up and followed His Majesty slowly.

The two of them walked one after the other and came to a bridge.

Below the bridge is a carp pond, in which various colorful and precious carps are raised.

It is the cold autumn season now, and the water in the pool is icy cold. Just by getting close to the edge of the pool, you can feel the chill under your feet.

"My dear, the weather seems to be getting colder recently."

When she reached the bridge, Yan Qiaoling couldn't help but shiver. She clasped her hands in front of her and looked towards Xu Chengling.

In fact, the dragon robe she was wearing was specially made. Although it looked like she was not wearing much, it was warm in winter and cool in summer, so it was actually not that cold.

"Yeah, it's a bit cold."

Xu Chengling nodded, and realized that it was a bit cold near the carp pond. He couldn't help but reach for his coat.

In Yan Qiaoling's expectation, he couldn't help but tighten his coat, rubbed his hands and said:

"It is very cold. Thank you for your reminder, Your Majesty."

"..."

Yan Qiaoling couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. It seemed that he didn't understand at all.

Although she was wearing a dragon robe, her legs were actually bare underneath and were shivering from the cold.

Xu Chengling also noticed the strangeness of His Majesty at this time, and couldn't help asking:

"Your Majesty, are you cold?"

"Well, I'm a little cold."

Yan Qiaoling was delighted and nodded slightly. He finally noticed it.

"Me too."

Xu Chengling pulled his warm coat tightly around him. Oh my god, he was freezing to death.

Seeing his look, Yan Qiaoling stamped her feet secretly and thought, I might as well freeze your stupid head to death.

In fact, Xu Chengling had long seen that His Majesty was also cold, but when he thought that there might be three hundred swordsmen and axemen ambushing nearby, he realized that this might be a trap set for him by His Majesty on purpose.

He must stay calm and not be easily fooled.

Yan Qiaoling stood by the bridge, enduring the cold on her bare legs, and her eyes could not help but look at the colorful carp swimming at the bottom of the pond.

"Would you like to come along?"

She grabbed a handful of feed nearby and fed it to the carp in the pond.

The originally calm surface of the pond suddenly began to ripple, and hundreds of carps opened their huge mouths and scrambled to grab the food on the surface of the pond.

Seeing this scene, Yan Qiaoling couldn't help but reveal a playful smile on her face like a little girl.

Xu Chengling stood behind him, looking at the smile on his Majesty's lips. He didn't expect that his Majesty had such a lovely side.

This scene feels familiar.

Ling'er also fed the koi here in the past. It is said that seeing golden carp will bring happiness to those who feed them.

Unfortunately, they did not see the golden carp at that time.

It must be his illusion.

Xu Chengling also grabbed a handful of feed and threw it into the pond, accompanying His Majesty to watch the carp.

After spending some time with Her Majesty, she didn't seem so scary.

Rather than being a majestic empress, this Majesty is more like a little girl with a childlike innocence.

It feels very different from the strict and enlightened empress in the original novel.

To him, this Majesty had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"My dear minister, you must be careful of Prince Yu. He is a very bad guy."

Yan Qiaoling suddenly spoke up and reminded him.

"Yes, this Prince Yu is very bad."

Xu Chengling immediately agreed that if the person who sent people to attack him this time was not His Majesty, then it was most likely this Prince Yu.

Now that he had met His Majesty, he was even more certain of his previous thoughts.

This Prince Yu is very bad!
