Peach blossoms first bloom
The two doors in the Good Marriage Hall were rustling in the strong wind.
Su Juanrou stepped on the threshold...
Hesitant, in and out.
I want to go to the morning court.
But he couldn't bear to leave his little favorite concubine hiding in the quilt.
"No, I have to hurry up and go to court. Otherwise, I just asked Xiao Xizi to call all the ministers back. If I go back on my word again, how will these ministers trust me in the future? If I go back on my word and don't go to court, won't they curse me to death?"
Su Junrou thought of the memorials filled with warnings and admonitions, the prime ministers and the Hanlin scholars giving them advice one after another...
That kind of scene.
He felt a surge of panic.
"No, I have to go to the morning court today, I can't delay any longer..."
"Your Majesty, my chest hurts..."
Bo Xiangqian suddenly turned around and looked at Su Junrou, with half of the quilt on her body lifted up.
Su Juanrou turned her head to look at the bed. The snowy scenery on the foothills of Bo Xiangqian's quilt looked like some kind of snow-white snow dancing in the gust of wind that blew in from the gate of Liangyuan Hall. "No! Qian'er, I have to go to court now. Just stay here in bed and get some sleep. Be good, get some sleep, you'll be fine after a while. When I come back, I'll bring you a little gift. I guarantee you'll be happy and satisfied when you see it."
Su Junrou was worried that Bo Xiangqian would pester him again and refused to let him leave.
So I secretly swallowed my saliva...
He quickly turned around and was about to rush out the door.
But he held the door with both hands...
But I just couldn't get it out.
As soon as he stepped over the threshold, he was pushed back by the strong wind outside.
Su Juanrou was worried about missing the morning court, and she was anxious and angry but had no idea what to do.
I could only hold on to the two door panels tightly and try my best to squeeze out.
But this gust of wind came too suddenly and too violently.
Su Juanrou finally bent over, her back half bent.
Still can't push it out.
"No, Your Majesty, please close the door and come to my bed to warm up. The wind is so strong outside, please don't let it get you sick. Your Majesty doesn't care about yourself, but I am always thinking about you. Your Majesty is sweating profusely, and you are forcing yourself to go to court in such a strong wind. If the wind is so strong that it blows your body into trouble, what will happen then?"
Your Majesty, please listen to me.
Anyway, going to court and going to bed are the same work, aren't they?
It's nothing more than His Majesty sleeping in again in the court.
But how can a king of a country be so focused on attending court and not take care of his own health?
Your Majesty, do you think what I said makes sense?"
Su Junrou was at a loss for words and couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Is Xi'er really stupid, or is she just pretending to be stupid? How can going to court be the same as going to bed? And they say they're both doing the same work and the same thing? She actually thought I went to court just to sleep in. I, Su Junrou, am incredibly intelligent, discerning, wise, and resourceful, yet why did I fall for her? Is it just because she...really bears a resemblance to Xirui?"
This moment...
Su Juanrou really missed Ye Xirui, the younger sister of his wife-molesting sister-in-law Ye Xiruo.
"Thinking back to the time back then, back in March, when the wind was strong and the peach blossoms were just beginning to bloom, Xirui was warming up some fragrant tea in the warm room and called me in to drink some tea and warm myself up.
In order to enjoy the spring scenery, I wanted to find some quiet time.
So he deliberately stayed outside and refused to go in no matter what.
Xirui couldn't persuade me, so she tried to coax me with some sweet words that would make me feel tempted.
But I was so utterly blind and deaf that Xirui was completely enraged. Furious, she ran out into the courtyard, yelling, "You bastard emperor, your tea isn't as fragrant as the ones out there, is it?" Then, pulling me by the ear, she dragged me back through the door. As soon as I entered, Xirui grabbed the cup of fragrant tea she'd warmed, gently shaking it with her wrist, forcing me to drink it down in tiny sips, regardless of whether it was hot or cold. She practically covered my mouth, making it hard to breathe. Fortunately, I obeyed her and drank the tea steadily, and only then did she sit down and talk with me.
But sister Xirui has her tea.
It is indeed delicious and you can’t help wanting to drink more after just one bite!
Unfortunately, I can no longer drink the tea that Xirui made for me!
And it’s all to blame...that crazy woman!
If she hadn't been so vicious and cruel, she would have killed her own sister.
Then Xirui...will not die!"
Whenever Su Junrou thought about how Ye Xiruo had forced his beloved sister-in-law Ye Xirui to death, he hated Ye Xiruo with gnashing teeth.
But the more he hated her.
But the more he couldn't control his body and desires, the more he felt that not only did he not have the determination and courage to break up with Ye Xiruo, but he seemed to be controlled by Ye Xiruo.
But he couldn't let go of it in his heart...
Can't bear to.
Wanted her even more.
"No... I can't betray Xirui again, and I can't hurt Xi'er again!"
Su Junrou's heart, which had just been aroused by Bo Xiangqian, was suddenly awakened by the cold wind outside the door.
But……
"Your Majesty, my chest hurts so much...it hurts so much, please give me a massage."
Bo Xiangqian rubbed her chest, breathing in the wet, sticky and fragrant breath.
Even if it's far away.
Su Junrou could also feel the heat, stickiness, itchiness and unbearable dryness at the back of her neck and under her earlobes.
Let him tilt his neck...
Sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right.
But no matter how he twisted it, his neck and cervical spine just felt uncomfortable.
Bo Xiangqian lay on the quilt with her chin in her hand, staring at Su Junrou's awkward and irritable look with her eyes fixed on her. She couldn't help but chuckle, but she didn't dare to laugh out loud. If she really made the emperor angry, she would be the one in trouble.
But she really couldn't stand the loneliness.
How about a few jokes...
I always feel like I'm a little... uneasy.
So she tried her best to hold back her laughter, but her tone of voice couldn't help but be a little sarcastic, "Your Majesty, you have been standing at the gate for quite some time, and the wind is blowing non-stop outside. If you want to open the door and go out, just go out quickly. Why do you have to stand there like a stubborn donkey? What are you wasting your energy on?"
I now understand, no matter how much my heart aches.
Your Majesty still has to go to court."
Su Junrou turned her head and glanced at Bo Xiangqian again. Her dark black hair, which was originally tied up and worn in a crown, was suddenly blown by the wind to cover her eyebrows and face, giving her a feeling of broken, cold, messy and sad beauty. "Bo Xiangqian, you silly girl and crazy woman, can you please stop calling me a lowly concubine? Fuck, your uncle is tired of hearing it! Anyway, no one is coming here right now. If you don't behave, I'll kill you! Others treat me as an emperor, and you, your grandma, treat me as an emperor too! Then what's the point of me being an emperor? Doesn't it mean that I don't deserve to be loved and cared for just because I'm the emperor?"
Damn it, I just tried to persuade you with all my heart and worried about you, but now you only know that your chest and heart hurt.
You crazy woman, please care about whether your mother is in pain or not! Do you know... how tired and aggrieved I have been in this deep palace and royal family all these years, how miserable and aggrieved my life has been?
I've always... I've always wanted to find someone who would love and care for me, but since I love and care for you so much, can't you... show a little concern and care for me a little bit?"
Su Junrou didn't know why her mood was touched, and she was originally in a happy mood with Bo Xiangqian.
In the blink of an eye.
Suddenly it collapsed.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Did your humble... concubine... Xi'er do something wrong?" Bo Xiangxi saw that Su Junrou actually showed in front of her his least-known, wildest, roughest, cute and fragile side, and that he looked so broken and pitiful in the wanton and rampant wind. She couldn't help but directly lifted the quilt, and threw herself on Su Junrou with tears streaming down her face, holding Su Junrou's waist tightly in her arms, "Your Majesty, Xi'er begs you, please don't be like this, okay? How can Xi'er not feel sorry for Your Majesty? Xi'er... cough cough... Even if Xi'er doesn't care about herself, she will try every possible means to take care of Your Majesty!
But Your Majesty... what can Xi'er do? Even Xi'er and her family's lives were given to us by Your Majesty. If Xi'er accidentally says the wrong thing, she will inevitably be at risk of being beheaded and her entire family will be wiped out.
Your Majesty...please tell Xier what to do...and what to dare to do?
But if Your Majesty falls ill in the future like Xi'er, as long as Your Majesty doesn't despise Xi'er, Xi'er will definitely take care of Your Majesty just like Your Majesty took care of Xi'er today."
Su Junrou's lips were soaked with blood, and she smiled bitterly. She let go of the two doors of the Liangyuan Hall, letting the strong wind outside tug at them. She turned around and stroked the hair at her temples and the tears on both sides of Bo Xiangqian's cheeks. Her thin and tender red lips, stained with a faint trace of blood, gently touched Bo Xiangqian's cheek and ear. Suddenly, her eyes became extremely sad and desolate. Her voice was deep and cold, but secretly affectionate as she whispered, "Qi'er, you don't have to do anything. Just treat me as a kitten or puppy in your arms. Do you know that since I was a child, like my other brothers, I have been strictly supervised and disciplined by my father and mother. Later, when the six princes competed for the throne, no one expected that the throne would fall into my hands. But do you know how much forbearance and price I paid for this?"
But even after I seized the throne, I became more miserable and lost than before.
Especially after I lost the woman I loved most.
I feel like I have lost the last hope and comfort in this life.
It wasn't until I met you that I finally got that feeling back!"
Su Junrou's voice and breath spread around Bo Xiangqian's earlobes and the back of her neck, making her feel a slight warmth in her neck and earlobes. Especially when Su Junrou said something next, her heartbeat quickened and her blood rushed...
"Qian'er, from now on...can I call you Qian Niang? If you agree, I will be very happy!"
Bo Xiangqian's heart was shocked...
For a moment I didn't know how to respond.
