Chapter 57 The Emperor is very protective
Liu Zhiyuan's face was full of question marks. He looked at his grabbed arm and then at Xiao Yu.
The dragon chariot was lifted up, and Xiao Yu calmly withdrew his hand, "My beloved, be careful."
"It's okay. This sedan chair is very stable. I won't fall."
Xiao Yu choked and asked, "What were you doing just now? Do you like close contact with the earth?"
In Changchun Palace, Concubine Chen was sitting at the top, holding a cup of tea and drinking it slowly and calmly.
The concubines were sitting below, all dressed in brightly colored clothes, like blooming flowers.
Concubine Li, who was sitting in the front, said, "Your Highness, you just said that someone hasn't arrived yet. Who are you waiting for?"
Concubine Chen put down her teacup and said, "Of course it's Sister Liu."
All the concubines present changed their expressions when they heard Liu Zhiyuan's name.
It’s not that they didn’t think of Liu Zhiyuan, but Liu Zhiyuan hadn’t come to pay her respects to Concubine Chen in the morning for more than a month, and they all assumed that she was not there.
Concubine Li's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled sweetly, "I heard that the Emperor turned over Concubine Liu's card last night. I wonder if this is true."
Concubine Chen's face turned cold, and a hint of jealousy flashed across her eyes.
Then she raised her red lips slightly and spoke meaningfully, "Of course it's true. Sister Liu Fei is quite favored by the Emperor. The Emperor stayed in Zining Palace last night. This was the first time the Emperor stayed overnight in the harem. I specially sent someone to invite Sister Liu Fei here today so that she can teach the sisters how to serve the Emperor well."
Concubine Li almost broke the armor, and her eyes were filled with jealousy.
The other concubines all showed more or less jealousy on their faces.
The emperor never sets foot in the harem. They have been in the palace for many years, but except for Concubine Chen and Concubine Mei, the number of times the others have seen the emperor can be counted on one hand. Some of them have never even seen the emperor in person.
There is a rumor circulating in the harem that the emperor is not good in that aspect, so he never summons concubines to sleep with him.
But now, this statement has been broken by Liu Zhiyuan!
A piece of cake is placed there, and it doesn't matter if no one can eat it, but suddenly someone eats it, and the stability is instantly broken.
Who wouldn’t be jealous!
Concubine Chen Guifei's beautiful eyes swept across the faces of these people, and her red lips curled slightly.
Next, without her having to take any action, someone would naturally cause trouble for Liu Zhiyuan.
You are the target of public criticism, Liu Zhiyuan, so you better be careful.
"The Emperor has arrived."
The sound of announcement from outside interrupted the concubines' different thoughts.
Everyone was shocked at first, and then they began to tidy up their appearance.
"How do you like my makeup today? Is my lipstick too light?"
"Oh no, I forgot to draw my eyebrows today. Don't they look ugly?"
"Help me quickly check if my dress is gorgeous today and whether the Emperor will like it."
"Baozhu, my hair bun is crooked, please fix it quickly..."
Damn it, why did the emperor come so suddenly?
Didn't he never set foot in the harem? It was so early in the morning and they were not prepared.
The room was filled with a mess of beautiful girls. If I had known that I could see the emperor today, I should have gotten up two hours earlier to dress up.
Before they finished tidying up, Xiao Yu strode in, followed by Liu Zhiyuan.
The moment Liu Zhiyuan walked in, the beauty in the room instantly lost its luster.
She was wearing a lavender palace dress and had her hair tied up with a plain hairpin. Although her outfit was simple and elegant, it outshone all the other beauties present.
Too beautiful to be mortal.
Everyone's eyes were filled with jealousy, and they wished they could burn a hole in Liu Zhiyuan's beautiful face, which was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water.
How can someone be so good-looking!
They were chosen to enter the palace because they were absolutely beautiful, but compared with Liu Zhiyuan, they instantly became ordinary people.
Although they were jealous, all the concubines stood up and saluted immediately.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
Concubine Chen hadn't expected the Emperor to come over. Coming back to her senses from her shock, she quickly stood up and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
Xiao Yu looked straight ahead, walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, and sat down in the main seat at the top.
Concubine Chen was originally sitting in the main seat, but she quickly took a step back and gave up her seat.
Xiao Yu looked impatient, as he still had to go to court and just wanted to end the battle quickly.
He glanced at Liu Zhiyuan, raised his chin slightly, and pointed at the second person opposite.
"Sit down, what are you standing there for?"
Don't wait until your legs get sore from standing before casting spells randomly.
Liu Zhiyuan said "oh" and quickly walked over to sit down.
She is spoiled. She would never sit if she could lie down, and would never stand if she could sit.
Concubine Chen and all the concubines' expressions changed.
According to seniority, Concubine Chen should sit in the second seat, and Liu Zhiyuan should sit below. However, the emperor let Liu Zhiyuan sit in Concubine Chen's seat. What does this mean?
After Liu Zhiyuan sat down, Xiao Yu said in a cold voice, "No need to be polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The concubines stood up straight, secretly glanced at the emperor's handsome face, and blushed.
Concubine Chen was embarrassed in public and her face was very ugly. She had to smile and said, "I wonder what instructions the emperor has for you for coming so suddenly."
Xiao Yu was a little thirsty, so he pushed the cup forward and said, "Pour some water."
"Oh." Liu Zhiyuan took out two cups, poured one for Xiao Yu and one for herself.
"Your Majesty, have some tea."
"Can you be more proactive? I have to remind you every time."
Whether I want to drink it or not, my aunt used to be the one to pour water for me at home. My parents and brother didn’t dare let me pour water.
She secretly complained in her heart, but when she thought that Xiao Yu came to support her today, she endured it.
Pull the progress bar back.
Xiao Yu was drinking tea when his eyes went dark. He sat back on the chair and the teacup returned to its original place.
Liu Zhiyuan was very considerate. Without his instructions, she took the teacup and poured two glasses of water.
One of the cups was handed to Xiao Yu, "Your Majesty, have some tea."
Xiao Yu, "..."
Does it know that the method of reversing time and space is becoming cheaper and cheaper?
He took the tea and drank it all in one gulp.
The concubines in the audience saw that although the two were just having a simple interaction, there was an atmosphere of familiarity that outsiders could not fit in, and their faces were distorted with jealousy.
Xiao Yu said in a cold voice, "Why did you call Concubine Liu here so early in the morning?"
Concubine Chen said, "Your Majesty, I was the palace maid sent over. I am in charge of the harem under your order. Sister Liu, the Concubine, forgot to come and pay her respects, which violated the palace rules, so I sent someone to invite her over."
She originally wanted to secretly poke fun at Liu Zhiyuan, but she ignored the palace rules and didn't even follow the prescribed morning and evening visits, and she even sent people to invite him.
But Xiao Yu looked impatient and asked, "Are you free?"
"What?" Concubine Chen was stunned.
"The hour of Mao is when Concubine Liu sleeps. You don't need to sleep, but she wants to sleep. Why do you send someone to wake her up so early in the morning? What's your intention?"
Concubine Chen really didn't expect that the emperor would protect Liu Zhiyuan to this extent.
The concubines off the stage were all shocked, and some were so jealous that they dug their nails into their palms.
"Your Majesty, I am only following the palace rules..."
Xiao Yu interrupted her chatter, "Since you can't manage the harem well, let others manage it strictly."
