Chapter 1008 How about we make a bet?
Xiao Xixi finished her dinner in the King of England's Palace and waited quietly for Luo Qinghan to pick her up.
The sky was getting darker and darker.
But Luo Qinghan never showed up.
Bu Shengyan saw Xiao Xixi staring towards the door. Her eager expression was like a line of big words written on her forehead:
Why hasn’t he come yet?
Bu Shengyan comforted him, "Your Majesty may have been delayed by something. Why don't you stay in the palace for one night? We will send someone to find out tomorrow morning when Your Majesty will come. If Your Majesty really doesn't have time, we will send a carriage to take you back to the palace."
In fact, Xiao Xixi didn't really want Luo Qinghan to pick her up.
It’s not far from the British palace to the royal palace. If she wants to go back, she can just take a carriage back.
She was mainly worried that something might happen to Luo Qinghan.
In response to the Queen of England's proposal, Xiao Xixi just responded lightly, then bent down and laid her upper body on the table, looking weak.
Just then, the housekeeper walked in hurriedly.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the Emperor is here!"
Xiao Xixi sat up straight.
If she had a radar above her head, it would be spinning rapidly at this moment and she looked particularly excited.
She asked, "Where is His Majesty?"
The housekeeper answered truthfully, "The emperor is waiting for the imperial concubine at the gate of the palace. His Majesty said it was getting late, so he would not come in to disturb the prince and princess. The prince and princess can just stay in the palace and don't need to go out to greet him."
Having said that, the British king and queen still accompanied the concubine out.
The night was dark, with no stars or moon in the sky.
The maid was holding a lantern in front, and the dim light could only illuminate a small area under her feet.
But Xiao Xixi walked very fast, not afraid of falling at all. If there was no one watching her, she could have used her lightness skills to fly up.
Seeing this, Bu Shengyan secretly felt that the imperial concubine had such deep affection for the emperor that even though they were only separated for half a day, she still missed him terribly.
The group quickly walked out of the palace gate.
On the stairs outside the door, a young emperor in a moon-white brocade robe was standing with his hands behind his back. He was tall and slender, his cold white skin glowed faintly in the night, his brows were as cold as an iceberg, giving people a feeling of being unapproachable and indifferent.
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Xixi stepped over the threshold and trotted towards him impatiently, her pretty little face full of joy.
The moment Luo Qinghan saw her, the coldness around him melted away, and a gentle warmth appeared in his dark eyes.
He stretched out his hand and steadily caught the woman who threw herself into his arms.
Xiao Xixi looked up at him, pouted her lips, and grumbled in pretended dissatisfaction.
"Why did you come at this time?"
Luo Qinghan raised his hand and touched her hair, his voice low and soft: "I have a lot of things to do today, I just finished my work, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
Xiao Xixi wasn't really angry, she just wanted to take the opportunity to act coquettishly.
Xiao Xixi immediately smiled happily after receiving the man's comfort as she wished.
Luo Qinghan put one arm around her waist and raised the other hand to help her straighten the golden hairpin that had run a little askew, and whispered.
"Let's go back."
Xiao Xixi nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
She was about to say goodbye to the King and Queen of England, but when she turned around, she saw that the King and Queen of England and their servants were staring blankly at her and Luo Qinghan.
Normally, Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan rarely use honorifics in private, and they treat each other equally. They are used to it and don't think there is anything wrong with it. But when this scene falls into the eyes of outsiders, it looks very different!
How could a concubine not show courtesy when seeing the emperor?
Not only that, but they didn't even need to use honorifics and even dared to complain to the emperor to his face.
This is simply disrespectful to the emperor!
If there were any censors present, they would immediately jump up and curse me for treason!
But the emperor himself did not feel angry at all, and did not even have the intention of blaming the imperial concubine. He even apologized to the imperial concubine and looked very obedient. He was completely different from the unkind emperor in his daily life.
So much so that everyone present was stunned.
Luo Yechen wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.
In the end, he could only squeeze out one sentence in a dry voice.
"Your Majesty and the Concubine have a very good relationship."
Luo Qinghan responded calmly: "Of course."
He admitted it so openly, and his calmness seemed so natural, as if this was how he and the imperial concubine were supposed to get along.
It was so much so that Luo Yechen almost thought that he was too ignorant to make a fuss over such a small thing.
Both sides said goodbye to each other.
The emperor helped the concubine into the carriage, and the two of them returned to the palace in the carriage.
The British king and queen also turned around and went back.
After entering the room, the door was closed and only the couple were left in the room.
Luo Yechen lay down on the couch and sneered, "The Emperor is too pampered with the Imperial Concubine."
In his opinion, it was nothing for the emperor to favor a certain concubine, but he should not spoil her too much. If he spoiled her to the point of becoming lawless and causing disaster, both of them would be infamous in history books as a tyrant and a wicked concubine.
Bu Shengyan glanced at him and said indifferently.
"I don't think so."
Luo Yechen couldn't believe it and jumped up.
"Even though the imperial concubine is like that, the emperor still goes along with her. Doesn't that count as spoiling her?"
Bu Shengyan asked back, "What happened to the imperial concubine? She didn't do anything illegal or immoral. She just got a little intimate with her husband in public. It's not a big deal, right?"
Luo Yechen: "But she has no respect for the emperor at all."
Bu Shengyan asked again: "Do I need to be in awe of you?"
Luo Yechen stuttered: "This, this is different! You are my legitimate wife, but the imperial concubine is just..."
His words trailed off here.
The words were not finished, but the meaning was clear.
No matter how honorable a concubine is, she is still a concubine, which is different from the queen.
A concubine is a concubine. How can a concubine compare to a wife? !
Bu Shengyan curled her red lips and smiled gently.
"In your eyes, the Imperial Concubine is just a concubine, but in that person's heart, the Imperial Concubine has already firmly established herself as the Queen."
Luo Yechen felt that what she said was too exaggerated and couldn't help but retort.
"The Emperor is not the type to do anything for a woman. Even if he dotes on the Imperial Concubine, he won't allow her to become the Empress. After all, given her background, no foreign woman has ever been able to become Empress in the Great Sheng Dynasty."
Bu Shengyan said leisurely.
"How about we make a bet? Let's bet on whether the imperial concubine can become the queen. If you win, you will be in charge of everything in this family, no matter how big or small it is."
