Chapter 159 The Romantic Queen Mother Uses Her Beauty to Commit Murder 3
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has arrived."
Haitang gently tapped Hong Jing's forehead and pushed his face slightly away, "Xiao Hongzi, let's go."
A large group of people went to the main hall of the Cining Palace to entertain the emperor, so they naturally couldn't go to the side halls...
On the way, Haitang asked about the dinner arrangements for the next day, and also asked about the joy of seeing Emperor An, and secretly kept it in mind.
...
Liu Jianchen, the emperor (Emperor Jian'an), was 23 years old when he ascended the throne. He has always been diligent, patriotic and people-loving. He has also been consolidating his power step by step with his abilities. To the people and the country, he is a very good young emperor!
Looking up, he was tall and slender, wearing a dark black suit with dark golden dragon patterns embroidered on it. A golden belt tightly bound his waist, making him look very graceful.
He heard footsteps behind him, turned around slowly, and gave Haitang a shallow bow, "Mother."
"Your Majesty, please don't be polite. It's a rare day when you have time. Please have dinner with me."
"Yes, it should be."
When their eyes met, they were both stunned.
There was a flash of surprise in Liu Jianchen's eyes, which he quickly withdrew, but he felt strange in his heart. He had always known that the empress dowager was beautiful, but when he saw her on other days, he felt that she was just an empty shell and extremely boring.
Why does it feel like a single look is so vivid?
...
Haitang was surprised by his appearance. He looked very similar to someone, with sword-like eyebrows, a high nose bridge, a pair of slender and deep phoenix eyes, and a cold and aloof temperament. Even though he was standing there so simply, his sharpness was obvious.
Especially the height...
So similar.
...
They both took their seats and the waiter began to serve the food.
Haitang allowed the palace servants to help her wash her hands.
Liu Jianchen sat there expressionless, as if this was his daily routine, not showing any emotions, not showing any joy.
Haitang had a lazy expression, but seemed quite comfortable, not putting on airs at all. Her white jade-like hands frequently appeared in his eyes.
Liu Jianchen paused for one second when he glanced over, just one second.
"Has Your Majesty been particularly busy these days?"
Liu Jianchen frowned, and just nodded as if he already knew what she wanted to say.
"No matter how busy you are, you should always have meals."
Haitang wiped her hands with a handkerchief. The palace servants were almost done serving the dishes. "Everyone, please leave. I want to have a meal with the emperor someday. There's no need to record it."
The food server looked at Emperor An and felt a little embarrassed...
Liu Jianchen nodded, and she followed the palace maids to retreat.
...
Liu Jianchen followed the rules when eating. He took small bites of food and chewed slowly. Even if there were no palace servants recording his food, he would still only take one or two bites of each dish.
Haitang loved to break other people's rules. She picked up a small bowl and poured a bowl of yam and pork bone soup. "Your Majesty, try this soup. It's good for your stomach."
A pair of jade hands placed a bowl of soup in front of him. Liu Jianchen paused and said, "Thank you, mother."
After eating for a while, Haitang felt that she had had enough, so she put down her chopsticks and poured herself a glass of wine.
Grape wine in luminous cup, slightly sweet wine, rare~
Liu Jianchen just watched her sipping it in small sips, his eyes shining.
Liu Jianchen: "......"
...
"My Queen Mother asked me to come today. Is there anything else?"
"Um?"
Haitang raised her head and looked at him, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, "The other day, all your concubines came to pay their respects to me, and sadly told me that the emperor would not enter the harem..."
