Chapter 263 "Speaking without restraint"

After washing up again, Yun Qin finally felt that she was alive.

She half-lying on the couch, enjoying the cool breeze from the window, she took a long breath, closed her eyes, and soon began to feel drowsy.

While I was half asleep, I felt someone covering me with something.

She reached out and grabbed it. It felt slippery, so it must be a cloak.

"Oh, I'm fine now. I'm not cold, I'm hot!" She thought it was Rong Xin who was covering herself up, and she whimpered and opened her eyes, but in front of her was a tall figure.

There was a twinkling smile in those nonchalant eyes.

"Your Majesty!" Yun Qin was so startled that her sleepiness flew away instantly. She quickly sat up straight and asked, "When did you come?"

As he spoke he looked outside, wondering why there was no movement at all.

"I saw you were asleep, so I told them not to make any noise." Huo Jinchi smiled and sat down next to her.

After being surprised, Yun Qin's heartbeat finally calmed down. She simply stopped bowing and said angrily, "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of scaring me to death?"

"Then just treat me as Rong Xin."

His expression was normal, but Yun Qin could sense a hint of bitterness in his tone, which made her wonder if there was something wrong with her ears.

Yun Qin immediately changed the subject, "Your Majesty, you are discussing matters with the ministers, how come you have time to come and see me?"

"The last time I came, I remember you were feeling very unwell, so I specially asked someone to prepare some Huoxiang Zhengqi water for you. It seems that you are feeling better than last time." Huo Jinchi replied according to her words.

Yun Qin first thought of the smell of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and couldn't help wrinkling her nose. "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I was unlucky last time. This time I am fine, so I don't need to drink Huoxiang Zhengqi Water."

Seeing her expression, Huo Jinchi couldn't help but smile, "If you are so afraid of taking medicine, then you should take good care of your body." Then he touched her slightly damp hair, "You are so greedy for coolness, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

"It's so hot, you won't catch a cold." Yun Qin changed the subject again and pretended to look outside. "You are becoming less and less discerning. The emperor has been here for such a long time, and you don't even know how to serve him tea."

As she spoke, she poured tea for Huo Jinchi herself, "Your Majesty, please drink tea. I will teach them a lesson later."

Huo Jinchi glanced at the tea in front of him, then glanced at Yun Qin who was looking fawning, and said unhappily, "Do you blame me for talking too much?"

"How dare I? I'm just afraid that Your Majesty will be thirsty after talking too much. Your Majesty can drink and then lecture me. I'm all ears." Yun Qin passed the tea in her hand again.

Isn't this just complaining that he is too talkative?

Huo Jinchi snorted lightly, but still took the tea from her hand and took a sip.

In fact, he is not a talkative person, but he can't help but say a few more words to Yun Qin.

"You don't have to be too restrained in the palace now. Go out and walk around more often." He glanced outside again, "The place I picked for you is quiet and peaceful. You can walk around in the garden more often."

"I understand." Yun Qin nodded, "I just want to know why this place suits my taste so well. It turns out that the emperor chose it."

"Just be poor!" Huo Jinchi stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek, which also elicited a smile.

The last time he saw her was when he made himself break some cheap dishes. After that, he wanted to go see her, but he never had the time, and it was put off until today.

He took the initiative to ask, "Do you like the dishes I sent over?"

Yun Qin thought of the set of blue and white porcelain and the set of painted porcelain. Of course, she liked them very much and nodded immediately, "I like them. How can I not like them? I like all the concubines that the emperor chooses."

After she finished speaking, she hugged Huo Jinchi's arm and looked up at him, "The emperor has come to see me, so I think he is not angry with me anymore, right?"

The corners of Hawking's mouth curled up slightly, but he snorted, "Now I remember to ask."

"Then Your Majesty must accompany me to finish lunch before leaving today." Yun Qin did not respond to him, but took the opportunity to put forward conditions.

But Hawking Chi just fell for her trick.

Facing her bright eyes, he tried hard to keep a straight face, but the corners of his mouth that he couldn't suppress made him lose his effort. He reached out and pinched her face again, "You're such a pest!"

In the end, Huo Jinchi not only had lunch at her place, but also took a nap with her. He did not return to Yu's study to deal with government affairs until the afternoon.

This batch of memorials arrived in the middle of the night, so naturally the concubines were not summoned to sleep with him.

The concubines, who thought that the emperor could relax and unwind in the palace and were not so diligent in government affairs, were disappointed for a while.

The most disappointed among them was naturally Nie Danying.

Ever since Fang agreed to sleep with him last time, the emperor has never set foot in the harem, which made her feel that the emperor was angry with her because of Fang.

When she paid her respects to the Empress the next day, her dissatisfaction was revealed.

"It's been such a long time, and the emperor hasn't come to the harem to see the two princesses." Nie Danying glanced at Fang Danying, "In my opinion, it's because some people didn't serve the emperor well, making him unhappy."

She just wanted to agree to the exchange of rooms, but she brought up the two princesses. The faces of the Empress and Concubine Shen fell instantly.

Yun Qin glanced at Nie Danying inconspicuously. It seemed that the emperor's instigation was very successful. It had always been Fang Danying who was causing trouble, but now it was Nie Danying who lost his temper first.

"What does Nie Danying mean by this?" Fang Danying could naturally hear her sarcasm and snorted, "Stop being so sarcasm. Everyone knows that the emperor is busy with state affairs. You should be considerate, but you are still making sarcastic remarks here. I guess the sour smell can be smelled outside the palace."

Her words hit the mark, and Nie Danying's face instantly turned ugly. Only then did she look at Fang Danying straight in the eye.

"I just said it casually. Why is Fang Ying so angry? Could it be that my data is right? Is it because you didn't serve the emperor well and made him unhappy?"

Fang Danying was already feeling guilty, and after she exposed him, his voice could not help but rise twice, and he sneered, "Since the emperor is not coming, you should look for the reasons in yourself, ask yourself why the emperor doesn't like you, and work harder on this."

Nie Danying was so angry that he was shaking all over. He stared at Fang Danying and said, "You really think you are something. The emperor usually looks at you with respect. If it weren't for the pressure from the empress dowager..."

"Shut up!" the Queen shouted. "You are getting more and more outrageous!"

Nie Danying glanced at the empress with a cold expression before realizing what he had said. He pursed his lower lip and stopped talking.

Fang Danying was not satisfied, "Go on, why don't you finish what you are saying? I am nothing, and who are you? How dare you speak ill of the Queen Mother!"

"Do you think you can act so recklessly just because she's not in the palace?"

Nie Danying gritted her teeth. From Yunqin's angle, she could see her bulging jaw, but she didn't say anything else, as if she had just spoken without thinking.

If it were someone else, Yun Qin might believe it, but she didn't believe that Nie promised to speak without thinking.

Since entering the palace, Nie Danying has always been quiet in crowded places, which shows how cautious she is with her words. How could she be so bold to speak ill of the empress dowager today after being forced to do so by Fang Danying?

What's more, she was the one who took the initiative to provoke him.
