At this moment, Lu Yun was close to collapse. He was speechless. He had originally thought that at least for the near future, he would not have to do that kind of thing again.

Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly gave him such a reward. Although it was called a reward, it felt more hateful than a punishment!

At this moment, he was really speechless and didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty, I refuse this reward. It is too valuable. I really cannot accept it."

Liang Jing shook his head, looking very calm.

"No, no, no, I think you can. I think your kidneys are definitely capable of taking on this important task."

"Furthermore, Concubine Xian is a very virtuous woman, quite suitable for you. She is definitely very good. Trust my judgment, I will definitely not lie to you."

How could Lu Yun possibly believe such words? This was simply a lie to children.

Are you kidding me?

"Your Majesty, alright..." Lu Yun said slowly. It was just one night anyway, and he would be going to war the next day.

"By the way, I bought you some things."

Liang Jing was stunned for a moment. What does that mean?

Xiao Yunzi bought something for herself.

I am the emperor, I have seen everything.

After a while, Lu Yun brought in a bowl of wontons and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, how is it?"

"Every day in the palace, we eat delicacies from land and sea, right? We have never eaten such folk food."

Liang Jing said helplessly with a look of uneasy mood in his eyes.

"No."

"Since I was born, I have always eaten food from the imperial kitchen and have never eaten outside the palace."

"Is this wonton delicious?"

Lu Yun nodded, "Of course it's delicious."

"But... could it be that I'm poisoned?"

Lu Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes and said unhappily, "Your Majesty, you think everyone in the world wants to kill you, right?"

"It's just something I bought on the street, how could it possibly be poisonous?"

Liang Jing smiled awkwardly and had to take out his chopsticks. Although the wontons had gotten cold on the way, Lu Yun asked the people in the imperial kitchen to process them and reheat them, so they were fine.

Moreover, these wontons are packed in wooden barrels, otherwise they will easily spill.

Seeing that Lu Yun was so considerate to him, Liang Jing felt relieved and happy in his heart.

Tasting the wontons, Liang Jing was surprised to find them so delicious and was full of praise.

"It's even better than the food in the imperial kitchen!"

"Is it my illusion?"

"Why are these things sold on the street more delicious than those in the imperial kitchen?"

Lu Yun thought to himself that it was simply because the emperor was in the palace every day, enjoying delicacies from land and sea, so if he occasionally ate the food of the common people, he would naturally find it delicious.

Of course, this wonton is indeed delicious.

"And more."

As he spoke, Lu Yun had someone bring in a whole bunch of candied haws that he had specially selected, as well as many sugar paintings.

Liang Jing has been trapped in this deep palace almost all the time, so naturally he has no chance to come into contact with such things in the folk.

Even when I occasionally went out to offer sacrifices, I always followed the group, so this situation naturally would not happen to me.

When she saw the candied haws, she foolishly asked, "What is this thing called? I feel like it seems very familiar, but I can't put my finger on it. I've never eaten it before."

"It should be something from the common people. Since I was a child, everyone around me has said that the emperor is different from the common people. Therefore, the emperor cannot eat what the common people eat. It is dirty."

"But... I also want to taste the food that the common people eat. What's wrong with that? Why are you making this so serious?"

Liang Jing was actually moved and took the candied haws and took a big bite.

After tasting the candied haws, Liang Jing suddenly fell silent. After a long time, tears flowed unconsciously from the corners of his eyes.

Lu Yun was completely stunned... What was going on? Could he cry over a candied haws?

What's going on with this empress?

As a woman, Liang Jing's emotions are naturally more delicate. She can tell from this string of candied haws that Lu Yun values ​​her very much.

Moreover, Lu Yun would often think about his situation and how he had never eaten these things since he was a child.

He is so nice...

Liang Jing felt touched and sad, but more of it was bitterness. As an emperor, he could not do anything!

When will he be able to become a true emperor, whose words are final and no one dares to oppose him?

"Xiao Yunzi, you are so kind to me."

"I never thought that the person who truly understood me would be a eunuch who had lived in the deep palace for a long time."

"Xiao Yunzi, I did wrongly blame you before."

"Xiao Yunzi, why are you so kind to me?"

Lu Yun explained calmly, "Your Majesty, these are what I should do. Besides, your Majesty's thoughts are actually easy to guess."

"Alright, Your Majesty, can today's reward be cancelled?"

Liang Jing was suddenly stunned, his eyes widened, and he shook his head, "No!"

"Do you think I can easily change what I said? I have already informed the virtuous concubine in advance, and she will be here soon."

Lu Yun couldn't help but sigh. What was going on?

"well……"

Liang Jing was enjoying himself, eating the candied haws and the sugar painting, and instructed Lu Yun: "Next time you go out of the palace, bring me more."

"I will reward you well when the time comes."

"By the way, Xiao Yunzi, I'm also worried that you might be in danger during this expedition, so I've dispatched thirteen shadow guards to protect you at all times."

"On weekdays, they will disguise themselves as your Qing soldiers so as not to arouse other people's suspicion, understand!"

Lu Yun nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration for my safety."

"By the way, Xiao Yunzi, what's the matter with the crossbow you modified?"

"Since you have such a great talent, why didn't you show it before? I have been waiting for so long in vain."

"If you had said so earlier, I would definitely have made use of you."

Lu Yun curled his lips. What was his previous identity? He would definitely be laughed at by others if he said such words.

Besides... I haven't traveled through time before.

"Your Majesty, this is a trivial matter. If I had brought it up before, Your Majesty would never have believed it."

Just then, Eunuch Liu trotted in, "Your Majesty, the virtuous concubine has arrived!"

"Okay, let her in."

After a while, a woman with long flowing hair and a ponytail walked in.

She was wearing a bright red robe and looked like a knight rather than a queen.

The whole person looks very capable. If she were given a sword, she would be a beautiful woman wandering around the world.

Lu Yun was stunned. This was the legendary virtuous concubine.

Is this what is called virtuous and kind? Why does my temper seem so bad?

Could it be that this empress is lying to herself?
