Chapter 254: The whole show

The days passed slowly and in the blink of an eye it was the last day of May.

The summer solstice has passed and the air is starting to get hot.

Xi, who had not gone out for a long time, agreed and suddenly put on a new summer dress and went to Yu in person that day.

Before she arrived in front of the emperor, the news had already spread throughout the harem.

The most surprised person was none other than Xu An. When he saw Yun Qin coming from a distance, he trotted down the steps to greet her.

"Empress Xi, it's so hot in the sun, why are you here?"

Yunqin helped Tingchun get off the sedan chair and said to him, "I have prepared some snacks. Is Your Majesty free to see me?"

Xu An was very attentive, but when it came to this, he showed hesitation, "I have to go in and report it first."

After all, this play still has to be performed.

"Please come in, sir." Yun Qin said politely.

Xu An entered Yu's study and came out soon, saying, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is busy, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to see you?"

Okay, this drama is performed one after another.

Yun Qin raised her eyebrows, but lowered her voice, "Eunuch Xu, I know that the emperor is still angry. Please tell the emperor that I am here today to apologize to the emperor."

Xu An was really afraid that Xipin would turn around and leave if she was unhappy. After hearing this, he looked a little embarrassed, and before Yunqin could plead again, he turned around and went back to the palace.

This time, he entered the hall smoothly.

"It's so hot, what are you doing here?"

As soon as he saw her come in, Huo Jinchi immediately got down from his throne, took her hand and led her to the couch beside him.

There was a large ice basin in the hall. Before Yun Qin came in, a palace maid was fanning her. The hall was much cooler than outside, and there was no dryness at all.

"Your Majesty, it's really cool here." Yun Qin said, and then said: "Your Majesty has fined me my monthly salary. Can't I hurry up and come to Yu to have another quarrel with Your Majesty?"

Huo Jinchi couldn't help laughing and tapped her nose unhappily, "What I hate most is your acting, it's hard to tell whether it's real or fake."

Yun Qin knew that he was taking the opportunity to point fingers at her, so she pretended not to understand, smiled at him, and changed the subject, "Your Majesty, would you like to taste the snacks that I brought you?"

As she spoke, she opened the lunch box and took out two plates of snacks.

Huo Jinchi picked up a piece of mung bean cake and tasted it, and he knew it was not made by her. He only ate one bite and put it aside.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't disappointed, but he wouldn't mention it.

Once he opened his mouth, Yun Qin would naturally do it, but he didn't want her to be tired.

There's plenty of time left, are you still worried that you won't be able to eat the food she makes?

Huo Jinchi took a sip of tea, suppressed the sweet taste in his throat, and asked, "How are you feeling lately?"

Yunqin thought it was boring for her to ask this question. Didn’t he check his own pulse case every day?

But she still said: "I am much better now, and my appetite is much better. Your Majesty, don't you think I have gained weight?"

Huo Jinchi then looked carefully. Her complexion was better, her lips had regained some color, her sickly look had faded, and her beautiful complexion had returned.

Shi said that light makeup or heavy makeup is always suitable, and it is also true for Yunqin.

Huo Jinchi gently rubbed her cheek with his fingers and said, "You are still too thin. You should be fatter."

Yun Qin was not a fool either. She could see the love and care in his eyes and believed his sincerity at this moment.

But he is not an ordinary person, he is the emperor.

What she didn't believe was that he would remain the same from now on.

This made her afraid to be moved, and she didn't feel like being moved, for fear that if she was moved too much, she would end up being the one moving herself.

That's horrible and tragic.

With such a nerve pulling her back, Yun Qin's back shuddered, and the warmth in her heart disappeared, leaving only a little shyness on her face.

"If I really get fat, Your Majesty, please don't dislike me." She lowered her eyes and snorted softly.

Huo Jinchi held her in his arms and said, "I really hope to see your plump and beautiful breasts."

"How do you know that I am plump and round-chested, and not fat and big-eared?"

Hawking laughed when he heard this, "Even if you are fat and big-eared, you are still cute."

"The emperor only knows how to coax people!" Yun Qin snorted again, but she couldn't help laughing.

Huo Jinchi reached under the low table and took out a box, stuffed it into Yunqin's hand, and said, "Open it and take a look."

Yun Qin touched the pattern on the rosewood box and opened it with some curiosity. It was filled with huge South China pearls, so bright and white that it hurt her eyes.

"Are these all for me?" Yun Qin looked up in surprise.

Huo Jinchi nodded and said, "This is a new tribute. The weather in the south is good and the pearls here are the best ever. I have picked out the best ones and left them all for you."

As he spoke, he pinched a pearl out of the box and passed it to Yunqin. "This is a round and smooth pearl. Look at it more often every day, and don't let it become fat and big-eared."

"Your Majesty!" Yun Qin glared at him, but did not forget to snatch the pearl from his hand and put it back into the box.

When she closed the lid, she looked like she wanted to stuff the whole box into her sleeves, just like a squirrel hiding its food.

Huo Jinchi held back his laughter and just watched her busying herself there, his eyes full of doting.

The warm atmosphere did not last long, and Xu An said from outside: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince is here."

The eldest prince has now officially entered school, and today is the time to inquire about his homework. Huo Jinchi has always attached great importance to it, so he asked Xu An to bring him in.

After the eldest prince came in, he found Yun Qin here. His eyes flashed, but he still walked forward obediently and saluted Yun Qin.

Yun Qin saw that he performed the ceremony much more steadily and seemed to be quieter than before. She felt deeply moved that the royal education was different from the modern kindergarten. I heard that this little kid had to get up at five in the morning to study.

How terrible...

In addition, Yun Qin could also feel that he was obviously not as close to her as before, and he even didn't like to look at her straight in the eye.

Yun Qin was not surprised. He had seen Concubine De being confined to her house that day, and then Concubine De cried so bitterly in front of him. Even if this child was well-behaved and sensible, he would inevitably hate him in his heart.

She didn't feel that disappointed, but she did feel a little regretful that she couldn't tease him anymore.

He is a miniature version of Hawking.

Yun Qin didn't want to sit here and watch, so she simply stood up and said goodbye. As she left, she didn't forget to say coldly, "Even if the emperor wants to punish me, I will not give up!"

She left without hesitation, leaving the eldest prince standing next to her stunned. As he looked at her leaving figure, a look of grievance suddenly appeared in his eyes, which had been cold just now.

Concubine Xi was still angry with him and didn't want to talk to him anymore...

Yun Qin walked out of the hall, her steps getting faster and faster. Even when Xu An came up to her outside the hall to talk to her, she shook him off with her sleeve. She looked completely angry.

Soon Xu An cleaned up the broken bowls and plates, as well as the shattered snacks from the hall. As if afraid that others might not see clearly, he walked around in front of the hall before letting the palace maids throw them away.
