Chapter 249: Sweet Love
Jingyu Palace.
After bathing, Jiang Xianhao couldn't stop coughing for a long time.
Jingtan was worried and hurriedly served a cup of hot tea.
"My Lady, your health is deteriorating. From now on... you should soak in the water for a shorter period of time."
Jiang Xianhao nodded, but her mind was clear - in the future, not only would she not soak in the hot spring less frequently, she would probably soak in it even longer.
She had already heard that Emperor Rongcheng had been frequently visiting the cold palace where Concubine Hui lived in seclusion.
While Shen Hechuan was still working on disaster relief, Prince Rui unexpectedly stood in the court again.
This move was like a stone thrown into a deep pool, causing the court officials to once again speculate on the emperor's intentions and to wait and see and take sides.
And she couldn't guess what Emperor Rongcheng was thinking.
Why did he insist on provoking the mother and son when everything was calm?
For the sake of Shen Hechuan's position, Jiang Xianhao had to go to Wanhe Hall in person before Emperor Rongcheng could step into her bedroom.
She lay on the couch, her eyes closed and her eye sockets dry.
How ridiculous.
Not long ago, she had fallen to this point - she had to rely on this posture to pray for the king's favor.
She didn't know how long she lay there before she finally fell into a deep sleep.
In a dream.
She seemed to have returned to the time just after her wedding with Emperor Rongcheng.
That was after she became pregnant and after she nearly had a miscarriage, the two reconciled and resumed their previous happy life.
After lying in bed for a while, Jiang Xianhao's body recovered almost completely, and he quickly went out to play.
She is a lively person who can't bear loneliness.
Therefore, even after she became pregnant, she was still lively and energetic, and did not look like a queen at all.
This also caused the Queen Mother to frown and admonish her many times.
Hearing this, she would be at peace for a few days.
But it only took a few days, and he would soon return to his original form and play around in the palace.
Once, she even climbed up a tree to touch bird eggs, but in the end she couldn't come down because it was too high.
Emperor Rongcheng was so frightened that he could not speak. He climbed up the tree wearing his dragon robe and personally took her down.
Afterwards, Emperor Rongcheng, who had never been angry with her, scolded her severely.
She pouted and at first looked like she had made a mistake and didn't care what you said.
But as Emperor Rongcheng spoke more and more, her little mouth began to pout. Finally, she snorted coldly and sat down.
"snort!"
"I think you are just seeking revenge!"
"I was just curious if the bird had laid eggs. I didn't drop anything, so why are you so mean to me?"
"I see, you did it on purpose! You deliberately wanted to scold me to show off your imperial majesty."
Emperor Rongcheng was so angry at her rebuttal that he just sighed in the end.
“You!”
He sat down next to Jiang Xianhao, holding her in his arms, and then said:
"I know you're bored, but I really can't accompany you recently. I've only been on the throne for a short time, and there are still various matters at court that need my attention."
"If I play with you every day, what will happen to the affairs of the court?"
Jiang Xianhao couldn't help but snort coldly.
"I don't want you to play with me."
As she spoke, she gave him an angry look.
"I heard that the court officials are all urging you to choose a concubine. Why don't you take this opportunity to choose a few sisters to accompany me? That way, I won't be bored."
When Emperor Rongcheng heard this, his expression immediately changed. He stood up and glared at Jiang Xianhao angrily.
"Don't even think about this!"
His voice rose considerably, and his face was more serious than ever.
"Jiang Xianhao, I'll say it again, you're the only woman I'll ever have in my life!
Apart from this, I will not touch anyone else, nor will I let anyone into the palace anymore."
Jiang Xianhao looked at Emperor Rongcheng's face and felt happy, but she also knew that Emperor Rongcheng was an emperor.
As an emperor, how could he have only her as his woman?
Since she married Emperor Rongcheng, she had to be prepared for him to have three wives and four concubines.
So, she still opened her mouth to persuade:
"I know you want to reassure me.
But I am not a child, and I understand the responsibilities of a queen. Even if you take new people into the palace in the future, I will not be angry, and I will help you take care of the harem."
However, Jiang Xianhao's words not only failed to make Emperor Rongcheng happy, but made him even angrier.
"Jiang Xianhao, are you deliberately trying to piss me off? Or are you testing me on purpose?"
He looked at her with some hurt and some grievance in his eyes.
"Does being with me always make you so uncomfortable?"
"Are you so eager to push me into the arms of another woman?"
Jiang Xianhao: ...
Um?
What's the meaning?
When did she mean this?
She wanted to ask, but Emperor Rongcheng just threw down the question and turned away.
Jiang Xianhao didn't understand why, but he still went to the kitchen the next day.
After burning a pot in the kitchen, he personally made a bowl of "porridge" for Emperor Rongcheng and sent it to him.
Emperor Rongcheng was originally still angry, but when he saw Jiang Xianhao coming, he immediately smiled, but still pretended to be angry.
"What are you doing here?"
Jiang Xianhao put down the food box in his hand.
"Today, I made a bowl of porridge with my own hands to make amends for you."
"I said something wrong yesterday. Now that you've eaten this bowl of porridge, please forgive me right then and there, okay?"
When Emperor Rongcheng heard that Jiang Xianhao made it himself, he stopped pretending to be aloof and looked directly at the food box.
"You made this yourself?"
Jiang Xianhao nodded, took the opportunity to stretch out his hand, and pointed at a small red spot on his hand in a flattering manner.
"Look, I burned my hands!"
Emperor Rongcheng quickly took her hand, blew on it gently, and touched it again and again with heartache.
"It's just a bowl of porridge. You can just ask the people in the imperial kitchen to make it. Why do you have to do it yourself?"
Jiang Xianhao: "They came here to apologize to you! Otherwise, who knows how long some people will be angry."
Seeing Jiang Xianhao's adorable appearance, Emperor Rongcheng was no longer angry. He immediately softened his attitude, hugged her, and coaxed her softly:
"You're just a talker!"
"You knew that if you just showed up, I wouldn't be angry, but you still said these things on purpose."
Jiang Xian laughed: "I just want to cook for you myself!"
"Look at those ordinary couples. Which one doesn't have the wife cooking for her husband herself?"
When Emperor Rongcheng heard this, he was even more delighted. He felt as if he was enjoying honey. He didn't care about anything else and directly opened the lid of the food box, scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth.
But suddenly I smelled a strange smell.
He couldn't help but stop and look carefully, only to find that the bowl of porridge was a strange gray color, and there were some black things floating on it, emitting a strange smell, which was really hard to swallow.
He swallowed hard before asking.
"Is this... porridge?"
"yes."
Jiang Xianhao nodded.
"Look, the black stuff in here is lean meat, and I fried it myself."
Emperor Rongcheng: ...
So why is it this color?
"That's because I made it with chicken broth, and that's the color of the broth."
