Chapter 31 Let's Make Tea



Lai Xi: "It's a smiley doll, very similar to the one the emperor has."

Zhao Chen was silent for a moment, and a mocking arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. "The one with me is a pair, right? Nian Wanyan told me that it was lost, but in fact, she buried it underground."

Nine years ago, Zhao Chen had a fortune-teller in a temple. Someone told him that the person who was destined to be the mother of the nation was also having a fortune-teller in the temple today. If she became the queen according to her destiny, the world would be prosperous and the people would live in peace and happiness.

Zhao Chen was disdainful and did not take one of the dolls given by the national master. As soon as he walked out, he fell into the water according to the national master's divination and almost drowned.

Someone saved him. Zhao Chen looked into the distance, slightly absent-minded.

Only then did he realize that the divinations were true. He returned to the temple and took away the remaining smiling doll. Three years later, Nian Wanyan came to him with another doll and told Zhao Chen that it was she who saved Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen had always known that the person who saved him was the same person as the Queen of Destiny in the hexagram, but Nian Wanyan didn't know.

Zhao Chen felt nothing when he thought of this. He put his two slender fingers together, picked up the rice paper, and blew dry the ink on it.

He said slowly: "I have thought about it, that person is not Wanpin, if not, why did Nian Wanyan suppress her repeatedly."

...

...

Lai Xi nodded hurriedly: "I think the emperor is right. If Wanpin is really the person in the hexagram, then God really bless our emperor."

Lai Xi took the opportunity to wipe the sweat off his forehead, feeling a chill in his heart. It turned out that the emperor had already seen Concubine Wan's frequent visits by Concubine Nian, but he still dealt with Concubine Wan in the same way!

The emperor is too cold-blooded!

Precisely because there is a destined person, anyone else would be like a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest, and would be killed and fall ill before taking over the phoenix seal.

Zhao Chen had a strange look on his face, and had no intention of enthroning Lin Zhiya.

Zhao Chen suddenly remembered to ask: "Has Chi Rong been behaving well recently?"

Lai Xi: "Miss Chi is not satisfied with the courtyard outside the palace and has fallen ill twice... I dare not disturb the emperor and have sent the imperial physician. I think Miss Chi is still thinking about entering the palace."

Zhao Chen said decisively: "Tell her to give up this idea. She has brought shame to the royal family. I will have nothing to do with her anymore."

"Where is the teacher that Wanpin sent?"

Lai Xi: "I saw that the hero was bored, so I led him to the bamboo forest to wait. Alas, the hero disappeared in a flash."

Zhao Chen was surprised that the teacher Lin Zhiya found was really amazing. "Oh? Find my sword."

Half an hour later, the sky gradually darkened. Zhao Chen, dressed in black, walked into the bamboo forest. The night wind fluttered the corners of his clothes. His dark pupils were deep, and his every move showed his nobility.

This noble atmosphere was soon broken.

Under a bright moon, there was a man with a covered face and a bamboo hat, standing with one foot on a tall bamboo tip and his hands behind his back.

The bamboo swayed slowly, and the man looked down, silently looking at Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen's expression froze, and his heart began to beat violently, not with excitement.

It was a windy night when she got the news. Lin Zhiya wrapped herself in clothes and shivered as she headed for the bedroom. She stood in front of the door and saw the imperial physician busying around inside.

Lin Zhiya quickly stopped the doctor and asked, "How is the emperor?"

Lin Zhiya pretended to be calm when she asked, but she was extremely curious in her heart. Zhao Chen broke his leg. What did he do to break it?

It's so itchy.

Lin Zhiya quickly got the answer that Zhao Chen needed to rest. She walked in wrapped in clothes. Zhao Chen was lying motionless on the bed, and the rise and fall of his chest was faint in her eyes.

His left foot was raised on the mat, wrapped in layers of gauze, and looked very stiff.

Lin Zhiya screamed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you!"

She fell on Zhao Chen's chest. Zhao Chen groaned under the pressure and looked up at her with a look that was full of meaning, "Do you want me to die?"

Zhao Chen joked: "My beloved concubine, you don't need to be like this even if you miss me. My beloved concubine should learn to be reserved."

Lin Zhiya buried her head in his chest with a red face, thinking he was a hooligan.

[What is there for the dog emperor to miss? There is nothing in this palace that he misses more than the dog emperor.]

Zhao Chen smelled the jasmine scent on Lin Zhiya's neck and bit her neck lightly. He was addicted to the feeling brought by Lin Zhiya, and the temperature in the bedroom rose.

Lin Zhiya had a thin waist, and when Zhao Chen held her in his arms he liked to look at her back line from above, ruffling her clothes. Lin Zhiya stared at him breathlessly.

Zhao Chen looked at her like a kitten, lowered his voice and said into her ear: "I think you are here to defeat me."

[…Hmm?]

Lin Zhiya leaned her head against Zhao Chen's chest again, tilted her head to look at him, and said in a sweet voice: "The emperor is so badly injured, he can't go on the autumn hunt, right?"

Wow—the atmosphere in the room was completely ruined by Lin Zhiya, who smiled triumphantly.

Zhao Chen refused to admit defeat, "I am still okay. The autumn hunt will be in half a month, so there is still plenty of time."

It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, and Lin Zhi rationally felt that he could not do it.

Zhao Chen almost got angry: "If you think I'm not good enough, why don't you go out and make me a cup of tea instead of being an eyesore here."

【Make tea? I don’t think so. 】

[Why are you touching my waist? The dog emperor is so clingy even when he is injured. ]

Lin Zhiya felt the strength that was suppressing herself relax. She stood up quickly and touched the tea leaves on her body. Was she going to use Zhao Chen for another experiment this time?

She returned to the bedside. Zhao Chen had already sat up. Lin Zhiya coquettishly got into his arms and asked, "Your Majesty, how did you fall?"

Lin Zhiya hooked his hand, wishing she could squeeze her whole body in. Fortunately, she still had some conscience and did not touch Zhao Chen's injured leg.

Zhao Chen put his hand on her body, absentmindedly: "I fell while riding a horse."

As soon as Lin Zhiya walked out of the bedroom, she saw a group of concubines led by Ma Cainü rushing over, crying and shouting, scaring away the birds on the trees.

Lin Zhiya stopped him: "Keep your voice down, don't disturb the emperor, he is still resting."

The concubines said: "Empress Wan, what should we do? The emperor has fallen. We are heartbroken and just want to see him. Your Majesty! Your Majesty, your concubines are here to see you!"

A sharp sound came into the house, and Lin Zhiya immediately heard a loud noise of something being smashed inside, and she and the concubines stood there looking at each other.

Lin Zhiya lied with her eyes open: "Did everyone hear that? The emperor said not to disturb his rest, or he will kill people."

The concubines were frightened by Zhao Chen's smashing of things, but they were still unwilling to leave. They hesitated and really thought that the emperor was shouting to drive them away.

"The emperor is injured and we can't take care of him. How can we sleep tonight?"

Lin Zhiya didn't allow any explanation and forced everyone to go to the compartment: "What's the point of taking care of patients? Let's go drink tea. I learned the art of tea making and I will make a cup for you sisters myself."
