Chapter 179: The Little Queen Whose Wife Was Taken Away by the King (Xia Lingxiao Extra 4)
Opening - 'Obsession brings disaster, forcing the one you love to hold on to you'
One day, after Xia Lingxiao had finally finished dealing with the mountain of heavy and complicated government affairs, he rubbed his sore eye bones and planned to take a short nap. The scent of ambergris filled the entire palace.
Amidst this fragrance, Xia Lingxiao fell asleep.
He was woken up by a gentle push.
He frowned and was about to get angry when he heard a more gentle call.
"Zijin, hurry up and get up. You promised to take Chuji and Chuxia out of the palace to play today. If you don't get up now, they will be unhappy. You are not a good father if you go back on your word like this."
Xia Lingxiao's mind was stunned, and he suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze meeting the beautiful woman in front of him.
Her whole body is filled with the delicate look of being cherished for a long time. Under the gauze quilt, there are some red marks on her snow-white skin, like red plum blossoms blooming in the snow.
Emperor Xiao, who has always been known for his wisdom and calmness and the ability to plan and win battles thousands of miles away, now rarely feels that his thoughts are as chaotic as a tangled mess.
His brows furrowed, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion and anger: Who sent this woman to his bed? Haven't these people learned their lesson yet?
Before the king's wrath could even begin to rise, he heard the beauty across from him complaining coquettishly, "Look at you, you clearly knew you were going out of the palace for fun today, yet you still acted so recklessly until so late yesterday."
The voice was clear and sweet, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley, but the anger and blame contained in it was obvious.
All I could hear was the beauty muttering, "I told you long ago not to act so foolishly. What happened? Now look what happened! Not only did you oversleep and get up late, but you also gave me a sore back. I don't know how I'm going to have fun later!"
Xia Lingxiao felt a little dizzy from all the shouting about you and me.
Emperor Xiao, who always kept his word and would not tolerate any disobedience, was surprisingly quiet at this moment. He listened silently to the beauty's complaints without saying a word to refute them.
He had already sensed something was amiss—where was he? Who was this person before him? Why did they seem so familiar, so intimate, yet so presumptuous?
Just as Emperor Xiao was lost in thought, the beauty saw that he had woken up and nestled into his arms again like a little bird, gently rocking him and acting coquettishly towards him. At the same time, she pushed him with her hand and said, "Alright, alright, hurry up and get me some clothes~"
Just when Xia Lingxiao hadn't come to his senses yet, his body stood up automatically as if out of control, walked silently to where the clothes were placed, and picked up a gorgeous dress.
When he handed the dress to the beauty, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of absurdity in his heart.
When had Xia Lingxiao ever done such a thing?
However, just when he was full of doubts, he saw the beauty in front of him gently turn sideways, and as she moved, the quilt that originally covered her body slowly slid off.
A flawless and extremely attractive body was presented to Xia Lingxiao without reservation.
In an instant, Xia Lingxiao felt the blood and energy in his body surging, and a hot torrent rushed straight to his forehead, and even the tip of his nose began to feel slightly hot.
He desperately suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and with difficulty moved his dry Adam's apple, he asked in a hoarse, almost low voice: "What...?"
This sudden question actually drew a surprised look from the beauty in front of him.
"Of course I want you to help me get dressed. Zijin, you're acting strangely today. Usually at this time, aren't you the most enthusiastic about helping me get dressed?"
Ever since they had been together, such private matters as Qingwu's dressing had never been handled by anyone else.
Because even if they were palace maids, Xia Lingxiao didn't want them to see Qingwu's body.
Xia Lingxiao stared at the exquisite yet intricate dress, frowning slightly and falling into a brief moment of contemplation.
After a while, he seemed to have finally made up his mind. He slowly stretched out his hands and carefully began to dress the beauty in front of him.
Emperor Xiao, who usually remained calm even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and did not blink even when a deer appeared on his left, now showed a rare look of uneasiness.
However, what was surprising was that when he began to dress the beauty in front of him, his hands seemed to be assisted by God, and his movements were skillful and natural, as if he had repeated it thousands of times.
In the blink of an eye, the gorgeous dress was perfectly put on the beauty.
The beauty lowered her head to examine her own attire, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, just as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring, and it was obvious that she was very satisfied with the dress.
Xia Lingxiao opened his arms, waiting for Qingwu to help him put on his clothes, but this caused Qingwu to complain strangely, "Why are you still dawdling? Hurry up and put on your clothes, don't keep Chuji and Chuxia waiting anxiously."
Xia Lingxiao fell silent again, so he put on his clothes by himself.
——However, it was he who helped the beauty put on her clothes.
......Has he become the son-in-law of some woman?
But the name Zijin is also his nickname, and Xia Lingxiao hasn't heard this name for many, many years.
Xia Lingxiao saw his own face in Qingwu's clear eyes.
It was still his face, without any change.
In order not to reveal his flaws, he quickly put on his clothes.
Looking around, the exquisite and gorgeous decorations all show that this is indeed his imperial bedroom.
"Her Majesty the Queen."
A maid noticed that they had stood up and filed in in a well-trained manner.
Queen?!
Xia Lingxiao was shocked.
Is this his wife, the queen he married?
Just as his thoughts were in a mess, he saw two children in gorgeous clothes being carefully supported by maids and walked into the bedroom.
One of the children looked to be about five or six years old, a handsome young boy.
Those eyes were exceptionally clear and bright, like the bright stars in the night sky, and looked like a beauty, making people feel happy when they saw them.
However, for some reason, apart from those charming eyes, other parts of this young boy inexplicably made Xia Lingxiao feel a little uncomfortable.
