Ning Yu pursed her lips, wanting to dissuade him from rebelling, but she had no right to do so. "You...be careful."
Chu Hewang could hear Ning Yu's worry and concern, and a hint of joy emerged in his heart. The ice suddenly cracked, and a breeze blew through the gap.
Maybe the queen also has him in her heart.
Chu Hewang hugged Ning Yu's waist tightly, rubbed her shoulders and neck like a little animal, and the tip of his nose was filled with the faint fragrance emanating from her skin.
He didn't let Ning Yu go until she fell into a deep sleep.
He got out of bed and left Kunning Palace in the darkness of the night.
A month later, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan had grown plump and white, with eyes as bright as grapes, black and shiny. Ning Yu hadn't seen Chu Hewang for a long time.
There was a steady sound of footsteps outside, mixed with the sounds of greetings, and a bright yellow figure slowly walked over.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Ning Yu bowed slowly, her voice smooth and even.
The emperor was used to the empress treating him this way, and it was great that the empress was willing to see him now. "Wake up, where are Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan? Why can't I see them?"
Ning Yu whispered, "Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan were taken away by the nurse."
There was no suggestion of taking the initiative to bring them over.
How could the emperor not hear Ning Yu's resistance, and a trace of anger rose in his heart.
But as soon as his eyes fell on Ning Yu's elegant and proper face, the anger suddenly disappeared without a trace, and his tone was filled with doting.
"I remember that the Ning family hasn't come to see the eldest prince and the third princess yet. I will order the Ning family to enter the palace later, okay?"
Ning Yu seemed touched. She raised her eyelids slightly, a look of surprise on her face. "Really?"
The emperor saw the joy on the queen's face, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, "When have I ever lied to you?"
Ning Yu chuckled, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
That smile is like the bright sun and moon in my arms, and the early spring pear blossoms blooming on the branches, complementing each other brilliantly.
A look of surprise flashed in the emperor's eyes. He put his big hand around Ning Yu's soft waist, his eyes burning, "It has been a long time since I last visited the queen..."
Ning Yu lowered her eyelids, her thick eyelashes hiding the flash of disgust in her eyes, a hint of shyness appeared on her cheeks, and her tone was a little apologetic.
"Your Majesty, I am still feeling unwell. You should go to Noble Concubine Li..."
Because of the military achievements made by the Tu family, Concubine Li was promoted to Concubine Li in half a month and was constantly favored.
The emperor thought Ning Yu was jealous and didn't want him to touch her, so he increased the strength of his palm, his chest vibrated slightly, and a low laugh escaped.
"Is the Queen jealous?"
Ning Yu broke free calmly, handed the teacup she had prepared long ago to the emperor, and snorted softly, "As long as Your Majesty knows."
The emperor casually took the tea and took a sip slowly. The taste was slightly bitter and thick. "Did the queen brew this tea? There's something wrong with the taste..."
Ning Yu glared at him and snatched the teacup away, "Your Majesty, are you disliking me?"
The emperor rarely saw the queen with such a charming side. A smile played on his lips. "How dare I? But the queen still needs to practice her tea art."
Ning Yu agreed, "Humph, I will definitely master this tea art, and then I will invite Your Majesty to taste tea."
After the emperor left, he quickly ordered the Ning family to enter the palace to visit the queen.
Mother Ning stepped into Kunning Palace and was about to look at Ning Yu and pay her respects when she was stopped. "Mother, please sit down."
Ning's mother insisted, "Rituals cannot be abolished."
Seeing that Ning's mother was so stubborn, Ning Yu had no choice but to agree.
After paying her respects, Mother Ning slowly stood up and looked at her daughter carefully. The queen was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a delicate face. She looked like a goddess or fairy, graceful and elegant. There was no trace of the naive appearance of a girl in the boudoir.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed his daughter was living well in the palace.
Ning Yu asked with concern, "Mom, is everything okay at home?"
Mother Ning patted Ning Yu's hand and sighed softly, "Although the military power has been handed over to His Majesty, I have left some dignity for your father. Your Majesty, don't worry. As for you, are you doing well in the palace?"
Thinking about her daughter who had lost two children, she, as a mother, could not go to the palace to visit and comfort her.
"Mother, don't worry." Ning Yu smiled and asked someone to bring the eldest prince and the third princess over. "Mother, this is Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan."
When Ning's mother saw the two little kids staring at her without blinking, showing their little gums, her heart almost softened.
The original sadness suddenly disappeared, and her heart and eyes were filled with only her grandson and granddaughter.
"The eldest prince and the third princess look so much like the queen."
Mother Ning couldn't help but think of Ning Yu's appearance when she was just born. She was white and tender, just like the little boy sitting under the seat of Goddess Guanyin. "Mom remembers that when you were little, you liked to smile at people when you saw them..."
The mother and daughter talked about the same things for a long time.
Ning Yu glanced outside the door, then handed the prepared note to her mother and lowered her voice, "Mom, give this to Dad. Be sure to bring it to him."
Although Ning's mother was a woman in the harem, she had seen many storms and waves, and her face did not show the slightest bit of strangeness. "Your Majesty, please be careful in everything in the palace."
Ning's mother was led to the palace gate by Lixiang and left the palace.
For the next period of time, the emperor would almost always come to the queen's palace to drink a cup of tea and stay for a while before reluctantly leaving.
It wasn't until the bright yellow figure disappeared into Kunning Palace that Lixiang slowly spoke, "Your Majesty, you invited His Majesty to the palace, but you always push Him out. Why is that?"
Ning Yu lowered her eyelids, her gaze glancing over the teacup the Emperor had just drunk. "Because I don't want it, Lixiang, go and pour this tea."
