Chapter 171 Feng Xiyao presents Jiang Jue with a jade pendant
The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became. The man simply leaned over and kissed her fiercely, ignoring her struggles and stripping her naked...
Looking at the figures walking back and forth outside the tent, Feng Xiyao stopped them in a low voice.
"Don't... there are people outside..."
But the man was in no mood to care about other things at this moment. He just wanted her and wanted her to have only him in her heart.
"Ah Yao, don't fall in love with someone else!"
Feng Xiyao was so distracted by his kiss that she didn't hear what he said.
In a daze, she put her arms around his neck and entangled with him tightly, and the two of them gradually sank...
…
There weren't many prey hunts this time, so Mo Cangyan wanted everyone to relax and they returned to Beijing after playing for a few days.
After returning to Fengchun Palace, Feng Xiyao immediately threw herself onto the big bed.
"The bed at home is still more comfortable!"
Ruyi laughed: "Did your Majesty encounter anything interesting this time when you went out?"
Feng Xiyao stood up, shook her head vigorously, and told the story of how she encountered a tiger and was almost knocked down by a cheetah.
Ruyi patted her chest in fear and said, "Fortunately, fortunately, I am so grateful to Lord Jiang. Fortunately, he protected the queen, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"
Feng Xiyao nodded: "Yes, fortunately there is Jiang Jue."
She thought for a moment, then looked up at Ruyi with a smile: "Since Jiang Jue saved me, I should give him some gifts to repay him!"
"Repay!!"
Ruyi frowned, feeling that it was a bit strange for the Queen to give a gift and then repay it, but she nodded anyway.
"Usually, if you want to repay me, you can just give me some medicine or precious gifts!"
Feng Xiyao touched his chin and said, "Medicine must be given as a gift, but what kind of gift should I give?"
…
The next day
"What? The Queen actually hugged Jiang Jue in front of the Emperor!"
When Zhang Shen heard the news that his father had come to the palace, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Hahaha, God help me, is Feng Xiyao tired of sitting on the position of empress?"
Zhang Shen smiled proudly. No matter what the reason was, as long as the news of the empress and Jiang Jue hugging each other spread out, the ministers in the court would not let her off easily.
"Your Majesty, the master told us not to make it public, and the emperor ordered that no one should mention it again."
Zhang Shen snorted coldly: "The Emperor is just trying to save face for the Empress. She did something so outrageous and she still wants to keep it a secret. She is just dreaming!"
Thinking of making fun of Feng Xiyao, Zhang Shen walked out of Anle Palace with the palace maids and eunuchs.
Jiang Jue's injury has been recuperating for a month and has improved a lot. Today, he can go to the Imperial College to teach as usual.
Feng Xiyao sat under the pavilion opposite the entrance of the Imperial College and waited.
Seeing him coming out from school, Ruyi ran over and stopped him.
Ruyi pointed to the pavilion across the street and said, "Master Jiang, the Queen is waiting for you over there!"
When Jiang Jue raised his eyes, he met Feng Xiyao's gaze. He curled his lips into a gentle smile and followed Ruyi over.
"Your humble servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen!"
Feng Xiyao: "Master Jiang, you don't have to be so polite. I came here specifically to thank you for saving me last time!"
Jiang Jue lowered his eyes: "It is my duty to save the queen!"
Seeing that his face was still a little pale, Feng Xiyao asked, "It is inconvenient for me to leave the palace, so I asked Ruyi to send some medicine to Lord Jiang. Lord Jiang, can you use it?"
Jiang Jue curled his lips and chuckled: "The medicine sent by the queen is very good, I have been using it!"
"That's good!"
As she spoke, she motioned for Ruyi to take out the things and hand them to Jiang Jue.
"You saved me, and I didn't know what gift to give you, so I found this jade pendant to give you!"
"This jade is of excellent quality, both in terms of color and the quality of the jade itself. Lord Jiang is an upright man with profound knowledge, which is a perfect match for this jade. This is a token of my gratitude to Lord Jiang for saving my life!"
Jiang Jue looked at the flawless jade and shook his head.
"It is my duty to save the queen, so there is no need for her to send me a gift!"
"No, you must take this jade. I have been looking for it for a long time. You cannot refuse it."
Feng Xiyao domineeringly asked Ruyi to put the things into his hands.
When Jiang Jue heard her say that she had looked for it specially, his heart was filled with excitement.
After observing for so long, he realized that Feng Xiyao had forgotten everything between them, and he was the only one who still remembered.
But now hearing her say this, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart whether she still remembered what happened before, and remembered that she said she only liked me.
“…”
Thinking of this, Jiang Jue shook her head vigorously. She couldn't be so selfish. She was the empress now. It would be impossible for them to be together in this lifetime. She should stop daydreaming.
"What's wrong, Master Jiang? Don't you like it?"
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Feng Xiyao asked with concern.
Jiang Jue came back to his senses and bowed to her: "Then I will accept it. Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty. You don't have to feel guilty anymore..."
Because I did it willingly!
"Then Lord Jiang, go back and have a good rest. I'm leaving first!"
"Farewell, Your Majesty!" Jiang Jue bowed.
He didn't dare to look up until she left.
“…”
Picking up the jade pendant she gave him, Jiang Jue's eyes flashed with a gentle smile, and he raised his hand and stroked it gently.
This is what Feng Xiyao found after searching for a long time!
After stroking it a few times, he carefully put the jade pendant into his arms, placed it against his beating heart, and turned away.
“…”
Zhang Shen, who was hiding in the corner, saw the interaction between the two. He watched the empress give the jade pendant and then leave. Then, Jiang Jue held the jade pendant and stroked it for a long time with a nostalgic look in his eyes.
Zhang Shen was very happy as he finally got hold of Feng Xiyao's evidence.
In the past, when the emperor and the empress were angry, they would come to Anle Palace to see him. Now that they have reconciled, the emperor stays in Fengchun Palace every day.
She caused herself to be laughed at by the women in the harem, who mocked her for being just a toy to be played with whenever the Emperor and the Empress had conflicts.
She just didn't believe it. If the empress had an unclear relationship with another man, would the emperor still trust and love her?
The next morning.
The news that the Queen and Jiang Jue were hugging each other in the hunting grounds spread out, and people were talking about it everywhere in the palace.
"This Lord Jiang is so bold that he actually dared to hug the Empress, and in front of the Emperor."
"Yes, I heard that there were many adults present at the time, and Lord Jiang was even flirting with the Empress!"
"Really? The Emperor can actually act as if nothing happened. How much does he love the Empress?"
"I also heard that... before the Empress married the Emperor, the two of them had already known each other and had developed feelings for each other, but in the end, the Empress married the Emperor!"
“…”
Although everyone spoke quietly, the news spread widely with each passing moment.
Zhou Ninghai was delivering something to the empress on the orders of the emperor. When he passed by Yu Garden, he saw several palace maids and eunuchs gossiping together.
As he approached, he heard that it was about the Empress Dowager. He was worried that the Emperor would get the news and have trouble with the Empress again, so he immediately spoke out to stop them.
"How dare you discuss the master's affairs? Don't you want to live?"
