Chapter 88 So Happy
Jiang Yingli was visibly happy and followed Fu Wanquan inside.
Jiang Yingli originally thought that Xiao Chenglan let her in because there were no ministers in the palace, but it turned out that in addition to the attendant minister who was always with her, there were two other ministers there.
When they saw Jiang Yingli, the two ministers saluted with their sleeves folded.
Jiang Yingli also nodded politely in return, then looked at Xiao Chenglan on the throne with sparkling eyes.
Xiao Chenglan looked back at her and smiled faintly, which was fleeting. In an instant, he returned to his serious and earnest imperial demeanor, and then glanced at her slightly.
There is a screen to the right rear of the attendant, and a seat behind it.
Jiang Yingli immediately understood what Xiao Chenglan meant. He wanted her to sit there.
She was so happy today after dealing with Xu Nian Ya that she wanted to ask His Majesty for a hug right away.
However, Jiang Yingli also knew that now was not the time to be willful, so she obediently followed the order and sat behind the screen.
When Jiang Yingli heard Xiao Chenglan call the two ministers Song Qing and Little Song Qing, she understood that they were probably the family members of Concubine Song.
No wonder, she looks very elegant. If it were Su Wenyue, she would definitely jump up and ask His Majesty why he let her, a concubine, enter the palace.
The one with the long beard is either Concubine Song’s father or her uncle. The younger one should be Concubine Song’s brother.
The Song family is really powerful.
Jiang Yingli sat obediently behind the screen, tilting her head to look at Xiao Chenglan behind her, listening to him speak to the ministers in a cold and serious voice that she didn't often hear.
After talking for a while, the voices stopped and the two court officials went to the table on the other side to look for some files.
Jiang Yingli noticed that the attendant minister, who had been writing very quickly just now, finally had a chance to take a break.
Jiang Yingli waited for him to finish writing, then leaned forward and asked:
"Does my lord have to remember everything?"
The attendant shuddered with fear, turned slightly sideways, and nodded in response:
"Yes, everything that happened in Changqing Palace, including what Your Majesty said to whom, must be recorded word for word."
"Then did you remember that His Majesty let me into the palace?"
The Minister shook his head, "Not yet."
"If you don't have time, then you have to remember it. Do you have to remember what I'm saying to you?"
The Minister nodded and said, "I must remember this."
Jiang Yingli thought for a moment and said, "Can I not remember it?" What if someone saw it and said that His Majesty doted on his concubines?
The minister thought for a moment and said, "No."
Jiang Yingli let out a frustrated "ah".
However, she also knew that this was the duty of the historian, so she did not force it, and it was not a big deal anyway.
Unexpectedly, the Minister added: "You must remember it, but you can write it down and then black it out."
Jiang Yingli was dumbfounded and whispered, "Isn't this just trying to cover up one's mistakes and steal the bell?"
The minister didn't say anything. He wrote a few lines, blackened them out, and showed them to Jiang Yingli.
Jiang Yingli felt relieved. There were more than one black mark on the paper.
Jiang Yingli was whispering with the attendant minister. Xiao Chenglan glanced at her several times and started asking Song Zhang questions again. The minister immediately became busy and wrote very quickly.
Jiang Yingli knew that she couldn't disturb others' work, so she sat down and started looking at Xiao Chenglan again.
Your Majesty looks exceptionally handsome in court robes.
Unfortunately, Daye prefers black and red. As the emperor, your majesty's court dress is black and red, and casual clothes are mostly black.
It has been a long time since I have seen Your Majesty wearing white.
Thinking of the painting in Changyang Palace, in which His Majesty painted the scene of their first meeting with clear memories, Jiang Yingli felt extremely happy.
She rested her arms on the table, buried her head in her arms, and grinned secretly.
After smiling in this posture for a while, Jiang Yingli felt sleepy and fell asleep on her stomach.
After the Song family father and son left, Xiao Chenglan looked behind the screen where Jiang Yingli was.
The person who was originally looking with his head tilted up has now fallen down.
Xiao Chenglan stood up and walked behind the screen.
Jiang Yingli was indeed tired last night and was sleeping soundly at the moment. When Xiao Chenglan's arm passed through her knees, she didn't react at all and continued to sleep unawares.
The attendant wrote down this scene on paper, then he thought about it and decided not to black out this line.
Xiao Chenglan carried Jiang Yingli all the way to the small room where he had previously used to take a nap.
He had just put Jiang Yingli on the couch and hadn't even let go of her hand when she woke up in a daze. Without even opening her eyes, she softly called out "Your Majesty".
Xiao Chenglan's heart softened instantly, and he asked softly, "Do you want to sleep here, or go back to Changyang Palace?"
Jiang Yingli opened her dry eyelids and hugged Xiao Chenglan sleepily and confusedly.
"Wherever your majesty is, I will be there."
"Okay, then I'll stay here with you for a while. After lunch, I'll take you out of the palace."
Jiang Yingli just nodded, then remembered the purpose of her visit, and hummed and laughed in his arms:
"I'm so happy, Your Majesty! Xu Nian-ya can no longer bully me. I've given her a good beating!"
Xiao Chenglan put his arm around her shoulders and took her to lie down on the couch, then stroked the top of her head, his calm tone carrying an imperceptible harshness.
"It's always like this from now on. Whoever makes you unhappy, you make them unhappy."
Jiang Yingli snuggled in his arms and said "hmm" obediently.
After a nap, Xiao Chenglan asked someone to serve lunch, and then took Jiang Yingli back to Changyang Palace.
On the table in the hall were two gold-painted black lacquer trays, with two sets of clothes on them.
"Go change." Xiao Chenglan took the clothes and took Jiang Yingli into the inner hall.
Xiao Chenglan's clothes were a dark blue brocade robe with cloud patterns. He only needed to change his outer clothes and put it on quickly.
Jiang Yingli's clothes were more troublesome. She was currently wearing a long cross-collared dress, with half of her lilac-colored blouse exposed in front of her chest. However, the dress she was wearing when leaving the palace was a chest-length skirt, which she had to change from the inside out.
The inner hall of Changyang Palace is generally not allowed to be entered by others. Lianqiao and Qiuxia are not here, so Jiang Yingli has to change it herself.
She took off half of her outer skirt and looked up at Xiao Chenglan.
Xiao Chenglan's eyes fell on her, staring at her carelessly, not bothering to hide anything.
Jiang Yingli puffed her cheeks embarrassedly and turned around.
Xiao Chenglan simply walked over, grabbed the small belt tied behind her neck, and loosened it.
He laughed teasingly, "I've seen it everywhere, why are you shy?"
Jiang Yingli threw away her outer skirt, hugged her small clothes that were swaying in front of her chest, and muttered: "It's different. This is not the time to do that kind of thing..."
Xiao Chenglan continued to laugh twice and said nothing more.
He took off the thin lilac-colored dress, held another plain-colored dress in his hand, put it around Jiang Yingli's body, tidied it for her, and tied the belt around her waist.
Jiang Yingli looked down at Xiao Chenglan putting on her clothes. She always felt that her clothes, which were relatively large in size, looked so pitiful in his big hands that they became just a tiny piece of cloth.
Moreover, Your Majesty actually knew how to wear the small clothes as soon as he got them.
Sometimes she has to fiddle with it for a while to see whether it is suitable to be tied around the neck or the back of the waist.
It should be because... she has taken it off so many times that she is too skilled at it.
Jiang Yingli felt so embarrassed that she blushed.
After putting on the small clothes, Xiao Chenglan pinched Jiang Yingli's red cheeks and lifted her up, looking at her with half-closed eyes, his eyes full of mischief.
"No wonder you turned around. It turns out you have something to hide. What are you thinking about? Your face is so red."
"Oh! Your Majesty!" Jiang Yingli broke free from his hand, shyly crawled out from under his arms, and wrapped her skirt around herself.
Knowing that Jiang Yingli was sensitive about her reputation, Xiao Chenglan stopped teasing her and waited quietly for her to put on her clothes.
