In the evening, when the sunset was slanting, golden sunlight poured in from outside the door. I sat on the bedside and read a book. The sunset was coated with a layer of gold, and my eyes were a little blurry.

Although I said I was reading a book, I actually couldn’t read it and my mind couldn’t calm down at all.

Fortunately, footsteps soon came from outside, and Eunuch Yu's voice sounded loudly at the door: "The Emperor has arrived!"

I put down the book and hurriedly tried to get up, but as soon as I put my hand on the bed, I felt a burst of pain in my wrist, and I suddenly fell back. As soon as Pei Yuanhao entered the door, he saw me leaning on the bed in embarrassment, with my forehead

I was sweating a little, and hurriedly came over to help me: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay."

"Is the injury still hurting?"

"Also, there is one more thing."

"Then don't move."

"Yeah."

I obeyed everything he said and looked up at his face. He didn't seem to have a good rest last night. There was still some blackness under his eyes, but he was not in bad spirits. He reached out and touched my forehead to make sure he was fine.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the edge of the bed, letting me cuddle up against him.

A hand gently hugged him, and his voice sounded above his head: "What are you doing?"

"Uh, read a book."

"Reading a book?" He picked up the book I put aside and flipped through it, frowning slightly: "The Lankavatara Sutra?"

Seeing his slightly unhappy look, I remembered that when the conferred scholar went to the Linshui Pagoda to kowtow to the Queen Mother, he told me that he didn't want me to read Buddhist scriptures anymore, but I didn't expect that he would do it again.

He hit me hard.

He said in a low voice: "Why are you reading the scriptures again?"

I lowered my head and said, "Yeah, there's nothing interesting to see."

"Tomorrow I will ask someone to go to the bookstore and find some books for you. There are many legends here in Jiangnan. If it doesn't work, you can find a theater troupe and come back. Don't read these all the time."

"No, no need." I said hurriedly: "Actually, I didn't read anything."

"Oh?" He raised his eyebrows, threw the scripture aside, and came over to look at me: "If you didn't read it, what are you thinking about? Are you worried about me?"

"..." I don't know whether it was because he was too close and his breath was too hot, or because he had been in the sun for too long. My face was slightly hot, but I still nodded: "Yes."<

/p>

He was stunned.

I boldly raised my head and looked at him, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty went out today, nothing happened?"

He seemed to smile: "No."

"That's good."

I also breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, which means that Mo Tieyi and the others have returned safely. Otherwise, with the temperament of the people over there, if the emperor publicly beheaded the assassin in the execution ground, they would not let it go. And today he brought

Civil and military officials went to inspect the Qingshui Canal and found that nothing happened, which meant that the people there would not touch him for the time being.

But - what will he do next?

If both parties don't take a step forward, this matter will eventually end in a stalemate. The people in Shengjing will naturally not give up just like this, so there must be an opportunity.

However, if he really wants to meet the people over there, he will definitely——

All day today, my heart has been anxious about this matter. Maybe this is the biggest reason why people in Shengjing let Nangong Lizhu go south. As soon as I meet her, many things will become complicated. Looking back on it, when I go to Yangzhou

On the first night, she just appeared from a distance and caused a big commotion. What would happen if Pei Yuanhao really knew where she was?

I don’t dare to think about it, but I can’t help but think about it.

You should still tell him about this matter, but how can you tell him so that he won't be as impulsive as that time?

I was still feeling a little tormented, but I heard Pei Yuanhao ask softly: "Have you had dinner?"

"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment and looked up at him. The orange-red light of the sunset shone on his face, but there was a strange tenderness. I looked at him stupidly: "Not yet."

"Okay, I just asked someone to bring dinner here, let's share it together."

He sat with me for a while, and it didn’t take long for Eunuch Yu to lead the people to bring the meal. Needless to say, his food and clothing expenses were not to mention, but I found that some medicinal materials were also used in the dinner, and the faint medicinal fragrance filled the air.

In this small room, people's hearts are softened by such a harmonious aroma.

Shuixiu helped me carefully walk to the table and sit down. Pei Yuanhao asked: "Drink some soup first?"

"Well, okay..."

As soon as I finished speaking, Shuixiu immediately picked up a bowl and filled a bowl of soup with her. Pei Yuanhao glanced at her and curled his lips: "This girl, I serve you wholeheartedly."

I smiled and nodded: "Thanks to her being here these days."

I don’t know why, as soon as this sentence came out, his face froze, and I immediately realized something. Both of us were silent for a while. After a while, he said to Shuixiu: "Leave it here, go down and receive the reward.

”

"Huh?" Shuixiu was stunned for a moment. My hands were inconvenient, so she had to serve me when I was eating, but Pei Yuanhao let her go down. She looked at me, then at him, and said with a smile:

"My slave, thank you, Your Majesty."

After saying that, he ran out and closed the door.

I watched her walk out, and when I turned back, a spoonful of steaming soup had already been brought to my lips. When I raised my eyes, I saw Pei Yuanhao looking down at me: "Drink some soup, and then eat."

I was a little panicked at once, and hurriedly stretched out my hand and said, "I'd better do it myself."

"Be obedient."

He emphasized his tone and put the spoon to his lips. I looked at him and lowered my head to see that my wrist was still wrapped with gauze. Even if the bowl of soup really reached my hand, I couldn't pick it up, so I could only open my mouth gently.

, a spoonful of fragrant and sweet soup slowly flows into your mouth.

I swallowed it bit by bit, and suddenly I didn't know what it felt like.

Sourness, regret, ignorance, or trembling happiness...?

He wasn't used to taking care of others, but he still fed me spoonful by spoonful carefully, and I drank it obediently. After a while, the bottom of the bowl of soup had reached the bottom, and he seemed to be relieved and put down his empty stomach.

The bowl looked at me again and said: "What do you want to eat?"

"Your Majesty, please use it first." I said softly: "I have been out all day today, and I heard that I didn't have a good meal."

"I'm not hungry."

"I see the emperor has eaten, so I will eat again."

He looked at me for a while, but he was not angry. Instead, there were ripples of smile in his eyes. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

He seemed to be really not hungry. He chewed a bite of food for a long time, as if he was savoring it. I just looked at him quietly.

This seems to be the life closest to my dream.

I once had a vague thought that if I get married in the future, I would like a husband who does not have to be rich, but is capable and gentle. He can provide enough food and clothing for the whole family. Every day he goes out to work, and when he comes back in the evening, the family sits together to eat with the candlelight flickering.

Looking at his face that is still sweating, if he was still there, he would be nagging with distress, and I would take his empty bowl, add rice, and give him some vegetables, even if it was just pickles and radish mixed with it,

It will also feel sweet.

"What are you thinking about?"

His words rang in my ears, but they pulled me out of the illusion. I turned to look at him and smiled: "It's nothing."

The Nangong Lizhu incident... it’s better to wait a little later.

At least, we have to wait for Mo Tieyi to get the news first. It would be too risky to say it rashly.

After he finished eating, it was time for me to have dinner, but the condition of my hands really couldn't be helped. I wanted to ask Shuixiu to come in, but he wouldn't let me, so he picked up the vegetables and fed me one bite at a time. I'm not the kind of person who is cared for.

He is a person, and he is not the kind of person who can take care of others. A large piece of fish meat is brought to him with dripping juice. It is not necessary to eat it. His cheeks are bulging, and the juice dripping down even stains his clothes.

.

Although my life has always been unsatisfactory, I have never been so embarrassed. The way he looked at me made him laugh.

Then, he took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of my mouth.

This action made me and him stunned for a moment, and subconsciously remembered that when he was just pregnant, he ate the orange cheese I made, and I wiped his mouth so gently, but after that...

…

Everything seems to have passed a long time ago.

After dinner, Eunuch Yu brought someone to clean up. Seeing that I was a little out of breath, he hugged me and sat back on the bed. Just as he leaned against the bedside, he heard footsteps outside and a guard.

After saying hello outside, Pei Yuanhao walked out.

After a while, he came back, and I asked carefully: "What's the matter?"

He glanced at me: "King Qi is leaving the palace."

"..."

There are some people and things between me and him that we cannot talk about easily, but Pei Yuanfeng - he had already made it so clear in the cold palace, and it was like that again this morning. I didn't know that he later came to Qingshui Canal,

What did the two brothers say? They want to ask, but they dare not speak easily.
To be continued...
