Chapter 175 His Majesty is so kind to me
It was winter, and there was nothing to see in the imperial garden except the plum blossoms, but Yueli still looked around with great interest.
"Your Majesty, won't there be a lot of flowers in spring?"
He Yanchen straightened her cloak and tied the belt a little tighter, fearing that a draft would leak out and she would catch a cold. Hearing this, he said, "Any flower you can think of will be grown in the Imperial Garden. If there are no flowers in the Imperial Garden, the greenhouse will cultivate them and send them to the various palaces."
Yueli buried half of her face in her furry collar, revealing only a pair of bright eyes. She said, "Then I want pear blossoms. Can you give me a few?"
"How many?"
Yue Li thought she had asked for too much, and her mouth pursed, looking disappointed. But He Yanchen rubbed her head and seemed surprised: "How many branches are enough?"
"What...what do you mean?" Yueli looked up at him with her little face raised.
He Yanchen bent down and whispered in her ear, "Xiao Yueli still has no sense of being my woman."
"I'm afraid people will think I'm shabby if I tell them about these few flowers."
Yueli's eyes lit up, and she hooked her fingertips around his sleeve: "How about planting a pear blossom in the backyard?"
He Yanchen smiled: "Of course."
"I have already chosen a palace for you. Would you like to go and see it?"
Yue Li has been living in Linde Palace for the past two days and has not asked He Yanchen how to arrange her. She feels very happy just being with him.
He Yanchen is very attentive and always notices what she likes.
For example, if she used an extra piece of a certain pastry during a meal, something of similar flavor would appear on the table the next day; or if she wore a certain hairpin a few times, not long after, palace maids from the Shanggong Bureau would send her hairpins of the same style. She had so many that she could wear a different one every day without repeating the same one.
He was also considerate. Knowing that she had menstrual discomfort, he would use a hand warmer to rub her belly at night, and would hold her cold hands and feet to warm them. Yue Li felt that the days she spent in the palace were the most comfortable time in her life.
"Are you distracted again?" He Yanchen saw her looking at him in a trance and raised his hand to knock on her forehead. "What are you thinking about? Tell me."
Yueli's earlobes were a little red, and she threw herself into his arms and hugged him: "I was thinking about how good your majesty is to me."
He Yanchen took the opportunity to hug her. Yue Li liked hugging him very much. When they were together, she always wanted to stick to him. He had never seen such a clingy woman.
But He Yanchen really enjoyed this feeling. Someone relied on him wholeheartedly, which made him know clearly that he was also needed.
Just as he was about to say something, He Yanchen caught a glimpse of a woman walking towards him in a daze not far away.
It’s Xiao Mingyue.
He frowned slightly, grabbed Yueli's neck with his big hand, and made her bury her head in his arms.
But in a flash, another idea flashed through his mind, and the strength in his hands couldn't help but loosen a little. He even held the woman's shoulders with one hand to make her stand up straight.
In this way, Xiao Mingyue could clearly see Yue Li's face.
Is it really her?!
Xiao Mingyue suspected that she was having a nightmare, otherwise how could she see Yueli in He Yanchen's arms?
Ji Ming, who was following behind, saw the person coming and was about to drive him away when He Yanchen winked at him.
Ji Ming silently took a few steps back, but he was shocked in his heart. His Majesty not only stole someone else's concubine, but also let her sister see it.
He turned his eyes away and thought, forget it, there’s no way to persuade him, out of sight, out of mind.
Xiao Mingyue stumbled forward a few steps: "Your Majesty...she..."
Yue Li was startled when she heard her voice, and turned sideways unexpectedly to meet Xiao Mingyue's eyes.
"Your Majesty..." Yue Li was frightened by her eyes. Xiao Mingyue looked at He Yanchen as if he was looking at a heartless man, and the look he gave her was even more terrifying.
She quickly hid behind He Yanchen.
"Why is Miss Xiao in the palace?" He Yanchen was not at all embarrassed about being discovered. He even held Yue Li's hand and pinched her fingers.
Xiao Mingyue glanced at Yueli, then at him, still with disbelief on her face: "Your Majesty, she...she is my brother's woman, how could you..."
He Yanchen interrupted her: "When did Xiao Aiqing marry a wife and take a concubine? How come I didn't know?"
"Lord Xiao, while inspecting Jiangning, did not forget to present beauties to me. I should reward him generously."
Xiao Mingyue was completely confused. When did Yueli become her brother's gift to His Majesty?
He Yanchen knew that Xiao Mingyue was a domineering person. If she knew about this, she would definitely tell her family indignantly when she returned, and he had long wanted to let Xiao Mingcheng know.
So that he doesn't have to think about people who don't belong to him all day long.
"Ji Ming, escort Miss Xiao out of the palace."
He Yanchen looked at Ji Ming, hinting, "Marquis Shou'an is a wise man. He knows what he should say and what he shouldn't say."
Shou'an Hou Ming didn't understand, and Ji Ming didn't understand either, but Ji Ming knew that He Yanchen only asked him to warn the people in the Xiao Mansion that this matter must not be spread outside.
Ji Ming was completely speechless. His Majesty wanted to declare his sovereignty in front of General Xiao, but also forbade them to talk nonsense outside. He could only suffer in silence.
"Miss Xiao, I will escort you out of the palace."
Xiao Mingyue shook off Ji Ming's hand, her eyes reddening, "Your Majesty, this woman is a foxy woman. How could you be deceived by her?"
Yue Li exploded when she heard this. Perhaps because she had He Yanchen's support, she became bolder: "You don't even have the qualifications to be a foxy woman!"
"You!" Xiao Mingyue was filled with anger and was about to curse at Yue Li.
A trace of displeasure flashed in He Yanchen's eyes, and he said coldly, "Miss Xiao is so bold that she even dares to speak wildly to my concubines."
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Mingyue's heart was broken. She had liked He Yanchen for so many years, but he actually scolded her because of Yue Li.
He Yanchen ignored her sadness, his voice filled with indifference: "Since you can't remember the palace rules, just copy them for me a hundred times in the mansion."
"Ji Ming, send him back."
"yes."
He Yanchen took Yue Li and left.
Yue Li happily looked back at Xiao Mingyue's tearful face from time to time, and said in her heart, "Serves you right."
Let her bully herself all day long in the Xiao Mansion.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Yue Li took the man's arm and looked at him admiringly. "Your Majesty is so powerful. Just a few words made her afraid to speak."
"I hate her so much. She always bullied me."
He Yanchen rubbed her head and said, "She can't bully you anymore. She is just a commoner, and you are my concubine. She has to kneel down and kowtow to you properly when she sees you."
Yue Li's eyes lit up whenever she thought of Xiao Mingyue kowtowing in front of her.
"Then can I ask her to come to the palace and kowtow to me often?"
He Yanchen laughed: "As long as you don't mind the trouble."
"No trouble, no trouble!" Yue Li smiled with her eyes curved. "Let her bully me all day long, then it will be my turn to bully her!"
