Chapter 403 The reason why Feng Wuyou disappeared, the dog emperor is a real dog
Concubine Xu's laughter didn't sound like that of a lady from a noble family at all; it was quite magical.
At first the man in black thought that Concubine Xu had noticed him coming and thought that she had become more vigilant.
Until he saw that she was staring at the notebook in her hand and did not notice his arrival.
He looked over with curiosity and saw that it was written:
The princess chuckled and said, "Is the prince jealous? Such a strong sour smell!"
"Will I be jealous? Don't you know that what I hate most is the smell of vinegar?" The prince secretly lowered his head and sniffed, but where was the smell of vinegar?
After reading this passage, the man in black couldn't help but laugh. This time, the script he read was quite normal.
"You have nothing to do every day, so you might as well read more poetry to cultivate your sentiments."
Xu Cefei had just taken a big bite of watermelon when she suddenly heard a faint voice. She was so scared that she almost choked to death.
She patted her chest and looked back, and saw the man in black standing half a meter behind her. His handsome face was still covered with a black veil, revealing only a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes.
After not seeing each other for three months, Concubine Xu showed a look of surprise.
"Where have you been these three months?"
"Of course I'm going to look for someone." The man in black sat down at the round table, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. Then he pulled off his face towel and drank by himself. His movements were skillful, as if he was at home.
This was the second time Xu Cefei saw the face of the man in black, and she still found him very stunning. It might be because she had always thought that men in black were men with ordinary features, and the contrast was quite big, so she found him stunning every time.
"Why is it that every time you come, there is no sound at all? If there is no door, can you at least knock on the window? If one day I get scared to death by you, how wronged would that be?"
"Aren't you fine?" The man in black chuckled and took two sips of tea.
Concubine Xu: "..."
The man in black took a look at the notebook in her hand and asked, "Why do you always like to read notebooks like this?"
Speaking of the storybook, Concubine Xu subconsciously held the storybook in her arms.
Man in black: “…”
Concubine Xu said as a matter of course: "I am a girl, isn't it normal for me to read this kind of book? As for the poetry and songs you mentioned, I am not interested. The Crown Princess said something that makes a lot of sense."
The man in black asked cooperatively, "What?"
Concubine Xu said, "The Crown Princess said that if you have time to fight and compete to please others, you might as well please yourself. Eat and drink well, and you will not only be healthy, but also feel good."
Man in black: “…”
Concubine Xu knew from the black-clothed man's reaction that he didn't believe it.
"Since I put eating and drinking first, I am indeed a lot happier." If you are unhappy, just get angry with others. Anyway, you would rather make others uncomfortable than let yourself be wronged.
The man in black said calmly, "Then why do you still want to leave the palace?"
"The palace is not my home." Concubine Xu said as she took a big bite of watermelon. "Seedless watermelon is delicious."
The man in black nodded in agreement with her, saying that no matter how good the palace is, it is not as good as home.
But Xiaojiu has been away from home for more than seven years, and no one protects her when she suffers injustice.
Concubine Xu thought of Feng Wuyou whom Shen Chuwei had mentioned. Now the man in black was right in front of her, so how could she not ask?
"I want to ask you something."
The man in black raised his eyelids and said, "Speak."
Concubine Xu asked, "Your sweetheart, Xiaojiu, if I remember correctly, is called Feng Wuyou, right?"
The man in black paused while drinking tea: "...When did you become my sweetheart?"
Concubine Xu curled her lips, "Didn't you say that yourself?"
The man in black was too lazy to explain: "Why are you asking these questions? Or do you have relevant information?"
The man in black didn't say anything, so Concubine Xu was curious. She held half a watermelon and asked, "Is it true?"
The man in black raised his eyebrows: "Does it have anything to do with you?"
Xu Cefei said seriously: "Of course it is related. You have a girlfriend, so we should keep a proper distance."
The man in black couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
After being repeatedly questioned by Concubine Xu, the man in black became impatient and replied, "I happened to see you drunk that night wearing light clothing. What are you going to do?"
When talking about that night, Concubine Xu's face turned red. "That was an accident. It doesn't count."
The man in black chuckled and didn't continue the previous topic.
"Didn't you say there was no such person as Xiaojiu in the palace? Why did you bring her up all of a sudden?"
"I haven't found anyone named Xiaojiu. I'm just curious about who Feng Wuyou is? Did she run away from home?"
Concubine Xu imagined that the man in black forced Feng Wuyou to marry, but she was unwilling to marry and then ran away.
Then, the man in black came out to look for his fiancée, which made sense.
The man in black paused when he heard this, then left without saying a word. He never came back again. Did he count as running away from home?
He nodded.
Concubine Xu thought she was extremely smart and had guessed such a complicated sexual matter.
"A forced melon is not sweet."
The man in black had a question mark on his forehead.
Concubine Xu continued to ask, "Who is Feng Wuyou? Where is he from?"
The man in black looked at Xu Cefei suspiciously, "Why are you suddenly so interested in Feng Wuyou?"
Concubine Xu said with a guilty conscience: "I'm just curious about what kind of person you are looking for."
The man in black said seriously, "It's not your concern what kind of person she is. If you have any news about her, you can tell me."
Being suddenly attacked, Concubine Xu was a little unhappy, "Why are you so nervous? I'm just curious. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
The man in black paused for a second, then chuckled, "Why are you so excited?"
Concubine Xu stuffed her mouth with watermelon and said incoherently, "Why am I excited? I'm clearly angry."
Concubine Xu was a little disappointed that she couldn't find out who Feng Wuyou was.

After the emperor finished his business, he went to the Fengyi Palace.
The Fengyi Palace was quiet for a long time. The palace maids discussed privately that the empress had angered the emperor.
Now they saw the emperor coming and they were all very happy.
The Queen is now making clothes for the little ones. She feels a sense of accomplishment when she sees the babies wearing the clothes she made. This is what she does every day.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is here."
When Qingying came in to report, the Queen hadn't reacted yet.
By the time she reacted, the emperor had already strode in. She had no choice but to put down her needlework and stand up to salute.
"May the Emperor be blessed with good health and happiness."
The emperor looked at the empress whom he had not seen for a long time. The empress was still very cold to him and suddenly felt a lot more distant.
He glanced at the pile of fabrics on the table and asked, "What is the Queen busy with?"
The queen replied, "I am making clothes for the babies."
In fact, even if the empress didn't say it, the emperor knew that the empress would make clothes for the babies when she had nothing to do, and he didn't know how many clothes she made.
It’s nothing for grandma to make clothes for her grandson, but she can’t do it every day. How can the queen hold the needle and thread all the time?
"How can you make clothes for the babies every day? Let the maids do that."
The queen said calmly, "I have nothing to do anyway, why not make some clothes?"
Emperor: "..." Why don't you come to see me if you have nothing to do?
The emperor was depressed. He came to the bed and sat down. He looked at the empress standing in front of him. He glanced at the seat beside him and said, "Empress, please sit down and talk."
The queen responded and sat down on the round stool opposite.
When the emperor saw this, he knew that the empress was deliberately avoiding him. In the past, when she was angry, she would sit on the bed nearby.
The two of them didn't speak, and the atmosphere became awkward for a while.
This has never happened before.
Ever since Ye Chu came back, the Queen began to distance herself from him and was very cold towards him.
"Does the Queen know that Yu'er wants to marry a concubine?"
The Queen said, "Yu'er mentioned it. I have no opinion. As long as Yu'er likes it, it's fine."
The emperor asked again: "Does the queen know that the woman Yu'er wants to marry is just a commoner?"
"I know. I've met him a few times. Although he doesn't match Yu'er, who is the one Yu'er likes? Doesn't the emperor agree?"
The queen raised her eyes and looked at the emperor. She knew that he valued power and that it was simply a fantasy for a prince to marry a commoner.
The emperor didn't expect that the empress had no opinion at all. Yu'er was her precious son, so why was she so perfunctory?
"It's not that I disagree, I just think it's better to marry her as a concubine."
The Queen had long guessed that the dog emperor would say this. In his eyes, interests always come first.
"But Yu'er likes her and wants to marry her as his principal wife. The emperor disagrees, and Yu'er will definitely be sad."
The emperor was silent for a moment after hearing this. "I will decide after I meet that commoner girl. I haven't seen her yet, so I can't make a promise easily."
The queen nodded, agreeing.
The matter was resolved, and the queen thought the dog emperor should leave.
The emperor spread his arms and ordered, "Queen, help me unbutton my clothes."
Queen: “…”
The emperor was a little angry when he saw that the empress ignored him, but he had to endure it, otherwise he would leave in anger like last time and the empress would not try to keep him.
"The Queen is taking me less and less seriously now. Even calling you to action is useless."
The Queen bowed and said, "I have caught a cold, and I am afraid that I might infect the Emperor if I am too close to him. I am doing this for His Majesty's own good."
Feeling a little cold?
I think you are just making excuses on purpose.
"I'm not afraid."
"Your Majesty is not afraid, but I am. If Your Majesty is unwell and delays the affairs of state, I will be guilty of a thousand deaths."
The emperor was speechless for a moment and stared at the empress for a long time. Anyway, he would not leave tonight.
He took a few steps forward, and just when the queen thought that the dog emperor was so angry that he wanted to leave, he stopped in front of her, grabbed her belt and pulled it, and threw it to the ground.
The queen was stunned for a moment, then realized that the dog emperor was taking off his clothes.
She grabbed the dog emperor's hand, but a woman's strength could not compare to that of a man, and she could not stop him from pulling her belt.
What's wrong with the dog emperor today?
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
"If the Queen is unwilling to unbutton my clothes, then I will unbutton yours." The emperor frowned and continued to unbutton the Queen's clothes.
The queen watched as the emperor threw her clothes on the ground one by one, and finally carried her to bed by the emperor.
"Your Majesty, did you come to Fengyi Palace just for this matter?" The Queen felt very aggrieved.
