Chapter 32: This ability to charm the heart of the king is beyond reach

The sound of the zither was like the melting ice in a spring stream, cold and clear, with a lingering chill;

In a twinkling, it turns into wind blowing through jade branches, and the falling petals resonate with the sound of the strings, weaving a shimmering network of sound in the twilight.

If you listen carefully, you will find that the melody is both lingering and sad, and seems to be mixed with a touch of ancient sorrow.

When the emperor approached following the sound of the piano, the sound stopped as the player's fingers rose and fell.

Fallen petals rustled onto her sleeves.

The woman was wearing a wide-sleeved peach blossom dress, and she almost blended into the peach blossom forest.

The flowing cloud patterns and gold-thread peonies embroidered on the wide sleeves overlap each other, and the hem of the skirt is decorated with peacock feathers, tribute from the Western Regions, reflecting an emerald-like luster when she moves.

The moment the woman spread out her sleeves, the silk scented with camphor brushed across the peach branches, and the petals fell like rouge rain.

She hummed the song she had just played, tapping the bluestone with her toes as she danced.

When she spun around, the hem of her colorful skirt bloomed like a spread peacock screen.

The golden bells on the ankles make crisp sounds, which blend in with the chirping of the orioles in the forest.

The emperor took a closer look and realized that the little elf who had successfully aroused his sexual interest today was actually the imperial concubine whom he had not seen for many days.

Yang Zhenru's eyes were as charming as waves. Suddenly, she picked up the peach blossom that floated to her lips with her slender fingers, and put the petals into her mouth while her eyes moved.

The bright color of the flowers on the beauty's red lips is truly captivating.

The emperor was instantly stunned.

His original plan to ignore the imperial concubine for a while disappeared in an instant.

The emperor walked slowly towards the beauty, his steps filled with an indescribable urgency.

When she saw him, tears instantly welled up in Yang Zhenru's eyes.

In the blink of an eye, tears slowly slid down the porcelain-white face.

Those eyes, filled with deep resentment yet full of affection, made the emperor's heart flutter.

He extended his hand to the beauty, but she turned her head away with tears in her eyes, wanting to leave.

Unfortunately, the beauty didn't notice that a peach branch fell under her feet.

As her fair white feet took a step forward, she accidentally tripped over the branch.

The beauty's body suddenly became unstable and she fell to the side like a willow in the wind.

How could the emperor watch the beauty fall in front of him?

He stretched out his long arms and took the person into his arms.

"Your Majesty~~~"

Yang Zhenru raised her green jade fingers to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and called out weakly.

"I shouldn't have disturbed the emperor's enjoyment of flowers. I'm leaving now..."

The emperor held her tightly in his arms and reached out to pinch the tip of her red nose.

"My beloved concubine, why are you in such a hurry to go back? Aren't you waiting for me to come and admire you, this delicate flower?"

Yang Zhenru covered her face and sobbed softly.

"Why are you crying, my dear?"

Yang Zhenru sobbed, "Nothing escapes the emperor's eyes. I am guilty."

The emperor held the man in his arms and pressed him down on a stone table in the peach blossom forest. He asked in a hoarse voice:

"What crime has my beloved concubine committed?"

"I am waiting here for Your Majesty on purpose today. I have been waiting day and night for eighteen days, seven hours and two quarters of an hour without seeing Your Majesty. I miss you so much that I have learned this trick and am waiting here, hoping that Your Majesty will look at me more. Woo woo woo..."

She cried sadly: "It is because I am greedy, Your Majesty, please don't be tired of Ru'er..."

The emperor looked at the pitiful and heartbroken appearance of the beauty under him, and his heart instantly softened.

Whether Ru'er was pretending to be sick or using some tricks to meet him by chance, it was all for the sake of taking a look at him.

Her love for him was so strong, but he deliberately ignored her because her family gave him a fake music score.

It really shouldn't be!

The emperor stroked her cheek and asked softly, "Are you cold wearing so little?"

Yang Zhenru looked at him shyly, burying her fair and tender face in his arms and rubbing it gently.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten this peach blossom wide-sleeved colorful dress? I once wore it..."

A series of erotic and fascinating scenes automatically emerged in the emperor's mind.

Smelling the fragrance of peach blossoms in the forest and the unique fragrance of the beauty under him, he was instantly distracted.

Who cares where the two of them are at this moment...

The emperor leaned over, opened his mouth, bit Yang Zhenru's red lips, and nibbled them eagerly.

Hong Yun seemed to have already seen such scenes.

He retreated to the entrance of the peach blossom forest, watching his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and sincerely became a forest ranger.

The next day.

Everyone knew that the emperor had started to favor Yang Guifei again.

The concubines in the harem gritted their teeth but were powerless to do anything.

This kind of drama has been played out countless times over the years. Every time they think that Yang Guifei has really fallen out of favor, reality always slaps them in the face.

Yang Guifei's other abilities were not great, but her ability to charm the emperor's heart was unmatched.

They are far behind...

Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother also learned about this.

She rubbed her aching brow and sighed deeply.

Only half a month later, Yang Guifei coaxed her stupid son away again.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she couldn't help but get annoyed with her stubborn niece.

The queen is so stupid. If she could learn a little bit of Yang Guifei's skills, she wouldn't have to worry so much.

The Queen Mother was so angry that her heart ached. She got serious with herself and even refused to eat breakfast.

Nanny Zhong was extremely anxious, but no matter how much she tried to persuade her, the Empress Dowager refused to eat this time.

The original words were: I am so angry at that unfilial son, what else can I eat!!!

The Empress Dowager grabbed Nanny Zhong and scolded the Emperor.

I didn't expect that as soon as I mentioned Cao Cao, he would appear.

The emperor came early in the morning to pay his respects to the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother disliked him today and couldn't help but think of her youngest son, Prince Yu.

Prince Yu was always conscientious in his work, and he was better than the emperor in everything, both in civil and military affairs.

If she had let her youngest son become emperor back then, Prince Yu would definitely not have done such a thing as favoring his concubine and abandoning his wife.

Unfortunately, Prince Yu is not the eldest son.

In Dayan, no matter whether it was the royal family or the aristocratic family, the successor was the legitimate son rather than the eldest son, or the eldest son rather than the youngest son.

Prince Yu suffered from his age.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that Prince Yu is being wronged.

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor and said, "I miss Chi Ge'er and Shuang Jie'er. Please issue an order to allow Prince Yu and his family to come to the capital to accompany me."

The emperor frowned slightly, somewhat disapproving.

"Mother, unless it's a serious matter, the foreign king cannot enter the capital at will."

The Empress Dowager glared at him. "How can coming to the capital to accompany me not be a big deal? It seems that in the eyes of the Emperor, an old woman like me has no right to think about grandchildren, right?"

"Mother, that's not what I meant!"

"You are! You are the emperor, but you stay in the imperial concubine's palace every day, and don't even come to accompany an old woman like me. If you don't accompany me, then let Prince Yu do it!"

The emperor had no choice but to fulfill the empress dowager's wish.

"Okay, I will go and pass on the order to allow my brother and his family to come to the capital."
