Chapter 29: Coaxing People
Xie Junyao did not inform anyone when he arrived at Chang Lixuan. He wanted to see the real girl in front of him.
When Bai Su entered the room, he was stunned to see him. Just as he was about to greet him, he was frightened by his eyes and stopped moving.
"Why are you sitting there in a daze?" Xie Jun walked over and Bai Su quietly left.
Pinch her face.
Wen Wanyu looked up at him in disbelief, "Your Majesty?"
Wen Wanyu played the role of "Lin Daiyu" for several hours and finally got the "male lead" she had been waiting for.
He wanted to stand up and greet, but Xie Junyao held his shoulders and said, "Sit down, no need to greet."
Xie Junyao stood beside her.
I lowered my head and stared at her. I saw that she was biting her lips tightly, as if trying hard to control her emotions. Her eyes were red, but no tears were falling.
Make him feel distressed.
"Have you been wronged?"
Wen Wanyu shook her head: "No."
"There's no need to be aggressive in front of me."
Wen Wanyu lowered her eyes and sniffed softly, "I'm not trying to be stubborn..."
"I just feel... they are too wasteful. They have wasted the food and my kindness. If they don't like it, they can just give it up. Why, why do they deliberately waste it? Even if they weren't in front of me, I wouldn't feel so bad."
Perhaps she realized something. Wen Wanyu quickly said, "I'm not blaming them, I'm just expressing my opinion."
Her apricot eyes reflected the water color, with a bit of grievance, staring at him without blinking. With a little caution.
"I have more to say."
Xie Junyao chuckled, "Not much."
She was a food lover, and her biggest complaint about today's event was that it was a waste.
"Of course I'm on your side."
Wen Wanyu lowered her eyes and smiled. She internally complained, "What's the point of just talking about it? It would be more practical to get promoted."
"Anything else?"
"What?"
Xie Junyao asked, "Do you have any more of the apple crisps you made? I haven't tasted them yet. If you have any, please let me have some."
Even if she didn't say it, Xie Junyao knew the apple crisp was made for him. He would be a little disappointed if he didn't get to eat it.
The cream cake she made last time received high praise from Li Dexian. Xie Junyao had high expectations for the food she made.
Wen Wanyu smiled and said, "There's more. I'll have someone bring it to you right away."
She excitedly gave orders to the servants, humming a tune. Her earlier unhappy mood had completely vanished.
Xie Junyao hadn't even started to coax her yet. It was as if she had healed on her own. She was so easy to coax. Unlike Concubine Zhengui or Concubine Wan, who relied on their favor and became arrogant, often giving him a headache.
Seeing the apple chips being served, Xie Junyao's appetite was also aroused.
Xie Junyao took a bite and raised his eyebrows, "Not bad. Very delicious."
This is not just consolation, this apple crisp is indeed delicious, better than dried fruits and candied fruits.
And it was his first time eating it.
I didn't expect she had such a skill. I couldn't stop eating it once I started, and before I knew it, the whole small plate was empty.
Xie Junyao then wiped his hands with a wet towel and asked her, "Where is this done?"
Wen Wanyu said, "From the folk."
"My beloved concubine is really clever and skillful." Xie Junyao praised her without hesitation.
She seemed even more mysterious to me. She knew so much. Aren't all the concubines in the palace from the common people? Some came from humble backgrounds. How could she be the only one who knew all these "fancy" things?
Perhaps she had just cried. Her eyes were clear and bright, and her voice was sweet and soft. "If the emperor likes it, I can make more and send it to Chengqian Palace."
Xie Junyao couldn't help himself and pulled her over to kiss her twice, "Thank you for your hard work, Wanwan."
Wen Wanyu had no choice but to let him make a fuss.
"Your Majesty, may I ask you a question?"
"What?"
Wen Wanyu said with a drawn-out tone, "Why do you sometimes call me 'My beloved concubine' and sometimes 'Wanwan'?"
This question stumped Xie Junyao.
Calling her "beloved concubine" was just a matter of convenience. There were so many nicknames for the concubines in the palace that he really couldn't remember them all.
But her nickname was easy to remember and pleasant to the ear. Sometimes, when he remembered it, he called her Wanwan. When she asked him that today, Xie Junyao had memorized her nickname.
Xie Junyao asked her in return, "So, do you prefer me to call you my beloved concubine, or Wanwan?"
"All good."
"Everything is fine?" Xie Junyao couldn't believe it and frowned subconsciously, "You are really generous."
Everything is fine? Everything is fine! Xie Junyao was almost laughing out of anger.
Wen Wanyu: "..." To her, both are fine. You can call her whatever you want. "Ai Fei" is too common, so the nickname "Wan Wan" is reserved for those closest to her. So whatever you want.
Xie Junyao pinched her waist, his eyes warning: "Wanwan."
"Hmm..." Wen Wanyu smiled, "You can call me whatever you like."
"You?" Xie Junyao finally realized something was wrong and frowned. "Call me you? Are you afraid of me?"
Calling him "you" is too unfamiliar. It's not like they only see each other once a year or two. He's not a tyrant, is he? He keeps calling me "you".
Wen Wanyu finally waited for him to ask this question.
Holding his neck, she spoke nonsense seriously: "Because you are in my heart, I call you."
The cheesy love words are a bit cheesy, but they are useful.
As expected, Xie Junyao turned his head away and looked away, not meeting her gaze: "What nonsense are you talking about."
There was an unnatural feeling all over his body.
Xie Junyao held her and changed direction.
He is on top, she is on the bottom.
Wen Wanyu was confused: "Your Majesty..."
Xie Junyao slid his large palm over her body, whispering in her ear, "Who did you learn this smooth talk from?"
"Your Majesty, don't you like it? Then I won't say it anymore."
Xie Junyao untied her belt: "How can I not tell you?"
…
After Xie Junyao came out of Changlixuan, he did not go back to Chengqian Palace directly. Instead, he went to Concubine Xu's Qiulan Palace.
Knowing that the emperor was coming, Concubine Xu suddenly felt panic in her heart, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Wen Wanyu had just been embarrassed this morning, and the Emperor had just come out of Wen Wanyu's Changli Pavilion. It was possible that the Emperor was here to question her.
"Get up." Xie Junyao asked her to stand up and said, "Why are you so nervous, my dear concubine?"
"It's been a long time since I last saw the Emperor. Naturally, I'm nervous."
"Oh? I heard that you were going to see me today." Xie Junyao said deliberately.
Concubine Xu held her handkerchief.
"When I passed by Chengqian Palace today, I met Lady Wen. Lady Wen's crisps were really tempting. Lady Wen said that they were made by herself and there were no other ones in the palace. I thought of asking Lady Wen to bring some to me. Lady Wen generously gave me the food box. But her servant didn't hold the food box firmly, and the whole plate of crisps was wasted."
Xie Junyao stared at her, his eyes filled with indescribable depth.
Concubine Xu avoided his gaze and said, "Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
After realizing it belatedly, he explained, "Your Majesty, did Lady Wen say something to you? Please don't listen to Lady Wen's nonsense..."
Xie Junyao said calmly, "She didn't say anything. But you, why are you so anxious?"
She didn't say anything. Concubine Xu didn't believe it. How could it be possible? How could she not say anything? Who would miss such an opportunity to complain?
Concubine Xu had no choice but to admit her mistake, "It was my fault for being so petty."
"Why do I feel like you've been with Concubine Wan for too long? Have you picked up her bad temper?"
Hearing this, Concubine Xu broke out in a cold sweat and knelt down without thinking, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
If Concubine Wan heard this, she would definitely be angry and blame her.
"Alright, get up." Xie Junyao said, "I don't mean anything else. I just want you to stop following Concubine Wan's lead. Concubine Wan doesn't know the rules, so why do you follow her and not know the rules?"
