Chapter 123: Want to intercept again

After being offended by the Queen, she always has to make amends to the scumbag Emperor to avoid being too wronged.

When Xu Lanshan arrived at the Qianyuan Palace, Emperor Yuanyong had just summoned his ministers and was reviewing memorials. Without waiting for Xu Lanshan to kneel and salute, he glanced at her and said with a smile, "Alright, Lan'er, you don't have to be so polite in front of me in the future. Come and grind some ink for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Lanshan said jokingly as she walked over, "Your Majesty is now using me as a maid more and more easily! When will Your Majesty pay me the monthly allowance I owe you?"

Emperor Yuan Yong laughed heartily: "You still remember it! Well, stay for dinner today. I'll ask Dong Zhi to prepare it for you."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty," Xu Lanshan said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please tell Eunuch Dong that I don't want any banknotes. I want small gold ingots. These are mine alone, no one else has them. I'm going to find a special box to store them in, and take them out to look at them from time to time."

Emperor Yuan Yong laughed even louder, "Nonsense!"

He said she was fooling around, but seeing her sweet smile and cute look, he couldn't help feeling itchy. He raised his hand and pulled her into his arms, holding her and sitting on his lap. He lowered his head and whispered to her, hugged her and kissed her, and did not let her go until it was a long time.

As the two were chatting and laughing intimately, Dong Zhi came in with his head lowered and his hands cupped in his arms. He lowered his head and smiled softly, saying, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yu requests an audience."

The air in the hall suddenly stagnated, and the atmosphere suddenly changed. Emperor Yuan Yong subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Xu Lanshan. Xu Lanshan's smile faded a little, and she looked at him, her expression even more indifferent.

Dong Zhi's heart was pounding, and he secretly groaned inwardly. He didn't want to disturb the Emperor and Concubine Zhaoyi, but since Concubine Yu had arrived, he didn't dare not inform her.

Emperor Yuan Yong smiled helplessly, gently squeezed Xu Lanshan's hand, and looked at Dong Zhi: "Announce"

Xu Lanshan glanced down at her hands, wondering what the scumbag emperor meant. But who cares? If he doesn't let me back down, then I won't. If he tells me to back down, then humph, then I won't back down!

You can't bully people like this, right? You stole her last time, and now you want to do it again?

Concubine Yu walked in gracefully, wearing a bright pomegranate red dress embroidered with hundreds of butterflies and a bright flower-flowered fairy dress. Her hair was decorated with a phoenix-beaded hairpin and a pair of golden hairpins with fish inlaid with kingfisher feathers and pearls, which were brilliant and dazzling. She was already extremely beautiful and flamboyant, and this outfit complemented her flamboyant and bright beauty, making people feel ashamed and unable to raise their heads in front of her.

When Concubine Yu saw Xu Lanshan was there, her smile froze slightly and she looked at her deeply. Xu Lanshan lowered her eyes and pretended not to see it.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine Yu's eyes were as charming as silk, and her smile was moving. "Your Majesty, I have something important to tell you. I wonder if Your Majesty is free now?"

After Concubine Yu finished speaking, she glanced at Xu Lanshan again. Seeing that she was still motionless, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and cursed Concubine Chen for having no sense at all. What was she doing standing there like a piece of wood? Didn't she know to leave?

Emperor Yuan Yong said, "I am not free at the moment. If you are anxious about Concubine Yu's matter, go to the Empress and see what she says. If you are not anxious, please go back first. I will go back when I have time."

Xu Lanshan listened and watched coldly, and couldn't help cursing the scumbag emperor in her heart. As expected, one shouldn't have the slightest expectation of a creature like the emperor. What kind of words are these? Ha!

Only an emperor could be so calm and composed in front of two women, without feeling guilty or anything wrong.

Concubine Yu smiled sweetly, "Yes, then I will go back first. Your Majesty, please don't forget to come over. Why don't you have dinner with me tonight? I will have someone prepare it."

"No need, my beloved, please go." For some reason, Emperor Yuan Yong found himself afraid to agree, fearing the jealous woman beside him would get angry. He forced himself to remain calm so as not to appear timid. This jealous woman's temper was growing increasingly fierce, and he couldn't let her realize that he cared too much about her feelings, otherwise she would explode!

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Concubine Yu was disappointed, but she didn't dare to pester him anymore.

She knew that the emperor was always proud and conceited, and his temper was not very good. Since he had spoken, it would be better to listen, otherwise he would become impatient.

But, the emperor allowed himself to leave, so why couldn't he let Concubine Chen go? Why was Concubine Chen still standing there like a piece of wood, not moving at all?

So, what is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality. What I don’t have, you can’t have either, and this also applies to the harem.

Concubine Yu glanced at Xu Lanshan casually and said with a smile, "Chen Zhaoyi, aren't you leaving yet? You're going the same way as me, so we sisters can have a chat!"

Xu Lanshan, who was named, raised her head and glanced at Concubine Yu, smiling: "Your Highness Concubine Yu, please go first. The Emperor didn't let me go."

Concubine Yu: "..."

Emperor Yuan Yong: “…”

Is this jealous guy trying to stir up trouble on purpose?

Concubine Yu immediately looked at Emperor Yuan Yong with a look of accusation, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty!"

Why should she not leave when I leave?

Emperor Yuan Yong said calmly, "I have something else to discuss with Consort Chen. Please leave first."

Concubine Yu bit her lip, "The Emperor is partial!"

Xu Lanshan thought to herself, you just realized this? Isn't this scumbag emperor always partial? He even favored you last time. Why didn't you object then?

"Okay, go ahead!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am waiting for you. Your Majesty, please don't forget."

"Hmm..."

Concubine Yu glared at Xu Lanshan hatefully and had to retreat.

Emperor Yuan Yong was at a loss for words and pinched Xu Lanshan's cheek lightly, "Are you satisfied now?"

Xu Lanshan turned her head to avoid his claws and curled her lips: "Your Majesty's question is so unreasonable and illogical. I don't understand!"

Emperor Yuan Yong was both amused and annoyed, and said with a smile: "Well, if you don't understand, then so be it. I hope Lan'er isn't angry!"

Xu Lanshan's eyes were cold: "Your Majesty, please don't wrongly accuse me. Why would I be angry? Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are saying!"

"You really are..." Emperor Yuan Yong was halfway through his words when he saw the woman beside him looking at him with a rather unkind look, so he immediately changed his words: "What a wonderful person!"

Xu Lanshan couldn't hold it back any longer. "Puff!" She burst out laughing, losing all her strength. "Your Majesty always makes fun of me."

Seeing her finally smile, Emperor Yuan Yong felt relieved. "That's enough inkstones. Lan'er, go sit over there. There are books on the shelf in the back. Take whatever you like to read to relieve your boredom."

"Yes, I thank the Emperor for his grace!"

This was also the case when she served him with writing materials. If he wanted to review some more important memorials, he would not have anyone serving him. She would then take a travelogue or a strange story from the bookshelf and slowly read it while enjoying tea, fruit and snacks on the kang.
