Chapter 20: Planting Vegetables



Liao Qingqing tore open the envelope, unfolded the letter, and the first sentence she saw was - my daughter has written.

My daughter?

Oh.

It was a letter from the Liao Mansion.

Why did the Liao Mansion send her a letter?

She continued to read the letter, which mostly expressed concern and longing for her.

When she saw the three words "Lady Liao", she understood the intention of the Liao Mansion.

It was fake to care about her, and it was real that they wanted her to say a few good words in front of Emperor Jingli and bring up her cousin Lady Liao.

Haha.

What a thought.

Before the original owner entered the palace, Lady Liao's father was already a fourth-rank official, and her father was an eighth-rank official. The resources of the entire Liao Mansion tended to be for Lady Liao's family, and the original owner did not live a good life.

The Liao Mansion never cared about her.

As soon as she was "favored", letters from the Liao Mansion came. It was probably the idea of ​​Lord Liao's father, who forced her parents to write this letter.

She was not the Holy Mother, and she was living in fear in the harem.

But she had no intention of helping others.

Anyway, as long as she was still Concubine Xi ,

her parents would not have a bad life in the Liao Mansion!

She didn't care about Lord Liao's idle affairs.

She continued to eat pomegranates, and by the way, she cut two pomegranates to send to Emperor Jingli, and received a lot of delicious rewards.

She accepted it happily.

There was no letter from the Liao Mansion for several days. It was estimated that her parents had blocked it, saving her trouble.

Mid-Autumn Festival came in the blink of an eye.

This year, the crops matured early and were harvested before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The figures reported by the Ministry of Revenue were pleasing, and Emperor Jingli was very pleased. This time, he did not use the reunion banquet to criticize and criticize his ministers, but ordered them to go home and enjoy the moon.

He set up a Mid-Autumn Festival reunion banquet in the harem.

On the day of the banquet, Emperor Jingli took off his usual dragon robe and wore a dark purple cloud-patterned brocade dress. He was handsome and tall, less solemn and more casual, making the atmosphere of the reunion banquet very relaxed. There were

also concubines on the stage to perform piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Liao Qingqing didn't know that the concubines were so talented, but she clapped her hands vigorously, and even Concubine Liang played a piece of high mountains and flowing water.

Emperor Jingli praised them highly.

The honored Concubine Liang looked at Liao Qingqing and smiled dignifiedly, "Xipin, what about your talent?"

"Replying to the Concubine, I'll go right away."

Then Liao Qingqing played a flute on the stage. She

played it perfectly.

The concubines were secretly happy after hearing it.

Concubine Liang turned her head and looked at Emperor Jingli.

Emperor Jingli received an extraordinary education since he was a child, and was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Liao Qingqing was not good at anything, and even played the flute so mediocrely... He pressed his forehead.

After listening to Liao Qingqing's performance, he said, "Not bad."

And then there was nothing else.

Concubine Liang sneered in her heart, secretly glanced at Liao Qingqing, and felt that she seemed to have overestimated her.

Liao Qingqing had no intention of competing with the women in the harem, nor did she think that she was good or bad at bragging.

After paying her respects to Emperor Jingli, she returned to her seat and could finally enjoy dinner and admire the moon in peace.

The Mid-Autumn moon is so beautiful.

Hanging in the sky, emitting a clear radiance, falling into people's hearts, filling the air with a bit of tenderness, Liao Qingqing looked up.

After the reunion dinner, Emperor Jingli's Concubine Liang went to Linhua Palace. She returned to Lisheng Pavilion with the fragrance of lotus. After bathing, she stood at the window sill and still looked at the full moon of August 15th, feeling particularly peaceful in her heart.

"The Emperor has arrived--"

Fusheng's announcement suddenly came from the door. Liao Qingqing was startled, and when she turned around, she saw Emperor Jingli striding in.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Liao Qingqing hurriedly bowed.

"Get up."

Liao Qingqing looked at Emperor Jingli in surprise and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

"I can't come?" Emperor Jingli asked.

"Today is the fifteenth."

"What if it's the fifteenth?"

"Don't you always stay overnight at Concubine Liang's place on the fifteenth of every month?"

"Who said that?"

"Everyone says so."

"Subject to me."

"...But won't Concubine Liang be angry if you come here?"

"She's not my empress."

"???" Your Majesty, you are so rebellious.

"Look what I brought over?" Emperor Jingli took out a flute from his back.

"Flute?"

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, what are you doing with the flute?"

"To teach you how to play it."

"I can."

"Your playing is awful."

"..." Liao Qingqing was embarrassed. In the process of getting along with the concubines in the harem, she always adhered to the style of "low-key, low-key, and low-key", so she would not stand out in anything. As for playing the flute, that was really the best she could do.

"Come here, I will teach you." Emperor Jingli pulled Liao Qingqing to his side, held her hand and put it on the flute, and said: "Your fingers must use rhythm, you just played the wrong song."

"Did you play it wrong?" "

If you play it wrong, you play it wrong, are you still 'sick'?"

"Your Majesty, you are so naughty."

"What did you say?"

"I said how to put this finger?"

"Put it here, you put it wrong just now." Emperor Jingli slowly stood behind Liao Qingqing, surrounded Liao Qingqing, and said: "The breath must be steady and rhythmic."

"Yes." Liao Qingqing nodded.

"Put your lips here." Emperor Jingli said.

Liao Qingqing did as she was told.

He Xiang, who came to serve tea, saw this scene and was immediately touched by the sweetness of the emperor and his master. She served the tea gently, slowly retreated, and smiled secretly with her hands covering her mouth.

"Blow." Emperor Jingli said.

"Wu." Liao Qingqing made a sound.

"No, the force is too weak, blow again."

"Wu."

"Ugh."

"Ugh!"

"No, blow again."

"Wuwuwuwu!" Wuwuwuwu The emperor is too strict, she doesn't want to learn anymore, Wuwuwuwu.

"Blow again!"

"Wuwu!"

"Still not right!"

Emperor Jingli put his face close to Liao Qingqing, and Liao Qingqing immediately smelled the faint fragrance on Emperor Jingli's body, which smelled like the smell of a forest in summer. It was very nice. I don't know if she has been single for too long or what happened.

Suddenly her heart started pounding.

She turned to look at Emperor Jingli.

Emperor Jingli was about to explain when he suddenly realized something was wrong. Jing'er turned his head and found that his face almost touched Liao Qingqing's fair face. Under the candlelight and the moonlight, he could almost see the fine hairs on Liao Qingqing's fair face. Her eyes were watery as if they could speak.

They held him tightly.

He instantly felt dry in his mouth.

This feeling was too strange for Emperor Jingli, who was only focused on government affairs, had experienced poison and headaches, but had never experienced the interaction between men and women!

He subconsciously let go of Liao Qingqing, took a step back, and had to use words to cover up his inner turmoil, and asked: "You can't even play such a simple song."

"I just can't." Liao Qingqing was also a little nervous.

"What can you do?"

"I can grow vegetables."

"..." Growing vegetables again.

"Your Majesty, I am really good at growing vegetables!" Liao Qingqing stood up straight and said.

"..." Emperor Jingli put his hand on his forehead and lowered his head slightly. After a moment, his body trembled slightly.

What's going on?

Liao Qingqing took a closer look, damn, this man is laughing!
