However, as she coaxed him, Liu Ruyue started to feel a little irritated:
It’s so annoying. It’s just that I looked at other men a few more times!
The system duck in the sea of consciousness space sensed the host's irritation and began to tease: "Host, didn't you say that this was just a little hobby between lovers? Why do I feel like you don't like it very much?"
"You know shit! It's cute when a woman does this, but it's kind of annoying when a man does this!"
Rolling her eyes, Liu Ruyue yelled at the system in her sea of consciousness in annoyance.
Just then, Emperor Zhao saw the action of rolling his eyes.
Emperor Zhao, who was originally enjoying Liu Ruyue's coaxing, was frightened: Is Yue'er annoyed with him?
Is it because I didn't know when to quit?
Thinking of this, Emperor Zhao immediately decided to stop while he was ahead. Not only did he not continue to let Jiaojiao'er coax him, he also took Jiaojiao'er to the treasure pavilion in the capital and went on a shopping spree, coaxing Liu Ruyue back to the palace happily...
**
Midsummer, Weiyang Palace.
A middle-aged couple walked in with their two children.
As soon as they entered, the woman and her children excitedly came forward, their eyes reddening at Liu Ruyue:
"Yue'er~"
"Sister..."
“Ahem!”
When the three voices rang out, the middle-aged man coughed nervously twice, knelt on the ground, and shouted to Liu Ruyue: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine. May Your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
While shouting, he signaled to the other three with his eyes.
After the other three people reacted, they immediately followed suit, kneeling on the ground and respectfully paying homage to Liu Ruyue.
The people who came were none other than the original body's family.
In her previous life, after Liu Ruyue was sent to Emperor Zhao to be a concubine, the Liu family also suffered at the hands of the Yu family and lost their lives early.
However, the Yu family had been pretending to be a member of the Liu family and communicating with Liu Ruyue via correspondence, keeping her in the dark and continuing to work for the enemy to persecute Emperor Zhao.
In this life, at Liu Ruyue's request, Emperor Zhao sent the Liu family to a safe place when he left Jingzhou.
Even when Liu Ruyue returned to Beijing, she was not in a hurry to meet the Liu family.
The situation is unstable, and exposing the Liu family's identities will bring them disaster.
It was only now that the court had been almost cleaned up by Emperor Zhao that he promoted Liu Ruyue's father to the Dali Temple, where he currently serves as the Shaoqing.
After all, this person was related to the Yu family by marriage, but was not colluded with the Yu family to rebel. He was indeed a loyal, upright and just minister, and was suitable to be placed in a place like the Dali Temple.
Emperor Zhao doted on Liu Ruyue. Not only did he promote Liu's father, he also specially allowed the whole family to enter the palace to visit Liu Ruyue.
You must know that apart from the palace maids, only the Empress Dowager and the Emperor can enter and exit the Weiyang Palace.
Now, allowing the Liu family to come in is already a great blessing.
Liu Ruyue looked at the Liu family members standing in front of her in good health and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: one of the original body's wishes had been fulfilled.
"Daddy, Mom, what are you doing? Isn't this embarrassing for your daughter?"
Looking at the Liu family members kneeling respectfully on the ground, Liu Ruyue choked up and walked forward to help the four of them up.
"No, Madam, etiquette cannot be abolished. The etiquette between the monarch and his subjects is especially important!"
Even though Liu Ruyue had helped him up, Father Liu still emphasized it with a serious expression.
Knowing that Liu's father was an old-fashioned person, Liu Ruyue rarely went to talk to him, so she gathered Liu Qin and the other two to chat about family matters.
From the time they parted in Jingzhou to the time when she was the noble lady in the palace, everyone was stunned.
Originally, the Liu family thought their experience was amazing enough, but they didn't know that compared with Liu Ruyue, it seemed like a small thing.
The family chatted lively for a long time and had dinner in Weiyang Palace before the Liu family left.
When leaving, Liu Qinshi's eyes were filled with tears:
The last time we met, my daughter was already seven months pregnant.
After this separation, maybe the next time we meet will be when my daughter gives birth.
As a mother, Liu Qinshi felt extremely distressed.
Liu Ruyue naturally felt this strong and sincere maternal love. Holding the cloth shoes made by Liu Qinshi, Liu Ruyue treasured them very much.
Although these shoes are not adorned with shark pearls from the East China Sea, nor are they woven with silver or gold threads, they carry within them a mother's deep longing for her daughter...
When Emperor Zhao came in, he happened to see Liu Ruyue holding a pair of cloth shoes, sitting quietly on the couch in front of the window. The quiet moonlight gently sprinkled on her body, coating her with a layer of cool silver glow.
In a trance, Emperor Zhao felt that the woman in front of him was like a fairy in a painting. She was clearly right in front of him, but there was always an untouchable veil between them.
Emperor Zhao stared at the fairy Jiaojiaoer in the painting for a long time without saying a word.
"Your Majesty is here?"
Instead, it was Liu Ruyue who spoke first.
She raised her head and smiled, and the cold and distant feeling on her body disappeared, and Jiaojiaoer turned back into the lively and charming little woman.
Emperor Zhao's uneasy heart calmed down instantly.
Seeing the cloth shoes in Liu Ruyue's hand, he couldn't help but feel puzzled: "So, Yue'er also likes such a simple gift!"
"Host, he's teasing you. He says you only like shiny jewelry."
As soon as Emperor Zhao spoke, the gloating voice of the system duck sounded in his mind.
Liu Ruyue simply ignored the noisy duck and looked at Emperor Zhao with resentment: "Your Majesty, are you saying that I am a vulgar person? I only like vulgar things like gold and silver?"
Looking at the little woman's resentful eyes, the Emperor Zhao, who was obviously so powerful and majestic outside, suddenly felt like a kitten had strangled his fate by the throat, and said nervously: "No, no, that's not what I meant."
Seeing Emperor Zhao’s nervous look, Liu Ruyue burst out laughing.
After the silver bell-like laughter, the woman who was held in the emperor's arms leaned against the man's big chest and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, I will be sad if you say that to me.
The handmade cloth shoes that A-niang sent me, every stitch and thread is filled with A-niang's love, just like the gifts that Your Majesty and the Queen Mother gave me, they are all their love and care. They are all treasures to me, and they make me feel that you have me in your hearts, and they make me happy from the bottom of my heart..."
When Emperor Zhao heard Liu Ruyue's sophistry, he felt sad in his heart: It turns out that I had misunderstood Jiaojiaoer before. It turns out that Jiaojiaoer doesn't care about the value of the gift, but the thought behind it.
"The harder it is to find this treasure, the more effort it takes, and the deeper the love it contains. The happier I am to receive it..."
"Host, I suspect you are PUA..."
"Shut up!"
Burying her head in Emperor Zhao's arms, Liu Ruyue rolled her eyes at the system duck and continued to PUA the man.
After hearing this, Emperor Zhao not only did not feel disgusted, but also felt that he should collect more rare treasures to let Jiaojiao feel his love.
"Your Majesty, I wish for the child in my womb to be born a legitimate son, legitimately becoming the Crown Prince of the Great Zhao State."
Seeing that Emperor Zhao was happy, Liu Ruyue told him what she had been thinking.
