Chapter 191 The Best Gift
Liu Yuetang sighed softly in her heart.
A man's mouth is a lie.
If she really had brown spots on her face one day, I'm afraid he would get tired of looking at her face, and there would be no point in them appreciating the starry sky together.
Although she thought so in her heart, her eyes were shining, and her voice was filled with emotion: "Your Majesty, you just love to coax me."
"I'm not kidding you."
Xiao Heng's large palm carefully stroked Liu Yuetang's lower abdomen, his movements so gentle as if he was touching the most precious treasure in the world.
"Miaomiao, I haven't been this happy in a long time."
"Thank you for bringing me the best Mid-Autumn Festival gift."
Liu Yuetang's eyebrows curved, and her voice was as soft as water: "This is also a gift from the emperor to me."
Xiao Heng gently stroked his flat belly, his eyes as gentle as jade: "I think this child must have been born on that day."
"Which day?" Liu Yuetang asked.
"On the day Miaomiao got drunk, I took you three times."
Seeing Xiao Heng mention what happened that night, Liu Yuetang's ears turned red and she wanted to push his chest with her arm, but she never expected that Xiao Heng suddenly withdrew his hand and hit Liu Yuetang's palm, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Xiao Heng's brows furrowed instantly, and his voice was tinged with panic: "Did I hurt you?"
"Let me see if you're bleeding?"
He took Liu Yuetang's hand, examined it inch by inch in the flickering candlelight, and blew gently, as if this could relieve her pain.
Liu Yuetang's eyes were red from the pain, and her voice became choked: "It's better now..."
Xiao Heng looked at her hand with burning eyes, his heart secretly twisted into a ball.
She was a person who seldom cried out in pain, but she was almost crying. You can imagine how painful it was.
Ten fingers connected to the heart...
Thinking of this, Xiao Heng felt even more guilty.
It was all his fault that he failed to protect Miaomiao.
She always gets hurt again and again.
Seeing Xiao Heng remain silent for a long time, looking sad, Liu Yuetang said softly: "Your Majesty, I am no longer in pain."
Xiao Heng stroked the gauze with trembling fingertips, and there was a hint of bitterness in his voice: "Take good care of yourself. Don't think about anything during this period. I will try my best to make time to accompany you every day."
"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Yuetang smiled with a radiant smile, which made Xiao Heng feel even more distressed, as if it wanted to melt his heart.
At this time, Wanqiu stepped forward slowly and said, "My Lady, the water is ready. I will help you bathe now."
Xiao Heng let go of Liu Yuetang's hand: "Then Miaomiao go wash up."
Seeing Xiao Heng stand up, Liu Yuetang straightened up and looked at him with a sad look in her eyes: "Your Majesty, are you leaving?"
Xiao Heng's eyes were a little evasive: "I... want to go see Concubine Zhao."
The light in Liu Yuetang's eyes dimmed little by little, and she said "Oh" with a hint of disappointment.
The dusk filtered into the hall through the window lattice, making her shadow thin and long.
"Then Your Majesty, please go quickly. Concubine Zhao must be waiting for you."
When Xiao Heng raised his eyes, she had raised the corners of her mouth again, and her smile was like broken glass.
Xiao Heng slowly lowered his Adam's apple, as if trying to suppress the emotions in his eyes.
He bent down and kissed Liu Yuetang on the forehead: "I will come to accompany you after the court tomorrow."
After saying that, he rubbed Liu Yuetang's head and stood up and walked out.
When he reached the corridor, Xiao Heng paused and stopped beside Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng bowed and went down: "Your servant respectfully sees off the emperor."
Xiao Heng looked at the clear night sky and said slowly, "You are the maid brought into the palace by Concubine Xi from the mansion. You must be more careful than others. Concubine Xi's neck and hands are injured now. Don't touch the water when bathing."
"Also, her daily diet must be varied and I must feed her myself. She never had a good appetite before, but now that she's pregnant, I'll try to coax her into eating more."
Liu Zheng was slightly stunned and looked at the emperor in front of her in disbelief.
The palace lanterns flickered, illuminating his expression in a hazy manner.
"Did you hear that?" Xiao Heng's tone sank.
Liu Zheng quickly lowered her head: "Yes, I obey your command!"
After Xiao Heng left, Liu Zheng finally grinned and walked into the inner hall with a smile.
Wanqiu bandaged Liu Yuetang's wound, and then Liu Yuetang stood in the bathtub to bathe.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor just cared so much about you, why didn't you keep him?"
The misty water vapor rose up, making Liu Yuetang's cheeks as red as the clouds.
"Liu Zheng, no matter when or where you are, you can't keep a man. Otherwise, you will only keep his body, not his heart."
She lowered her eyes to look at the rose petals floating in the bathtub, and a faint smile slowly appeared on her lips.
I don’t know if she can keep Xiao Heng’s heart tonight.
However, this depends on Concubine Zhao.
According to her understanding of Concubine Zhao, Xiao Heng would definitely not receive a favorable response from Concubine Zhao when he went there.
If she continues to act like a spoiled brat, my understanding will make her even more unreasonable.
Wan Qiu combed Liu Yuetang's long black hair and said, "Your Majesty, you are injured and pregnant, and the Emperor did not stay. It seems that the weight of Your Majesty Zhao Fei in the Emperor's heart is indeed different."
"If Xiao Heng really abandons Concubine Zhao today, I will look down on him instead."
"Why?" Liu Zheng was puzzled.
Liu Yuetang's eyes were calm as she looked towards the palace wall. "In this palace, there are so many flowers competing for beauty, but which one can truly flourish forever?"
"If I could replace Concubine Zhao so easily, then there would be other concubines who could easily take my place in the future. On the contrary, since the Emperor is so considerate of our old relationship, I only need to give birth to the heir and be cautious in everything I do, and I can secure a place in His Majesty's heart."
Wan Qiu nodded approvingly: "Your Majesty sees it clearly."
"If Her Majesty Zhao Fei can understand this truth, I believe she will always be the most favored person in the six palaces, and no one will be able to surpass her."
Liu Yuetang smiled faintly: "Perhaps... Zhao Fei understands these principles."
But she was so blinded by love that she lost all sense of propriety in her actions.
In a relationship between a man and a woman, the one who falls in love first is the loser.
Although Xiao Heng still cherishes the old love, this love is not necessarily the love between a man and a woman.
Yaohua Palace.
Concubine Zhao was playing the piano. When she heard Xiao Heng coming, her hands stopped and the music stopped abruptly.
Madam Kong said in surprise, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is here."
"You see, the Emperor still cares about you. When you see him later, be sure to speak kindly and don't get angry. The weaker you are, the more the Emperor will feel for you."
Concubine Zhao's red eyes looked at the pearl curtain in front of her with empty confusion.
Weak? Distressed?
It is clear that I am the one who is wronged, so should I bow to the emperor?
She can't do it! She can't do it!
