Chapter 126 Play
Emperor Yuan Yong's eyes darkened. He clasped his hands around her slender waist and said in a hoarse voice, "So, how do you plan to serve me, Lan'er? Hmm?"
Xu Lanshan failed to tease him and was teased instead. Her old face turned red and she stammered, "Your Highness, Your Highness is joking, joking!"
Emperor Yuan Yong chuckled happily: "Whether it's a joke or not, I have the final say, Lan'er's words don't count. Lan'er, I'm looking forward to it!"
Xu Lanshan looked aggrieved and changed the subject abruptly with shame and anger: "Your Majesty, is it time to leave the palace?"
Emperor Yuan Yong curled his lips and said, "Well, then let's leave the palace first. When we come back, we can discuss it in detail."
Xu Lanshan: “…”
Emperor Yuan Yong laughed and said, "Let's go!"
The two of them left the palace in a carriage in a low-key manner from the Shenwu Gate. The only people following them openly were Dong Zhi and Yu Huai. Another thirty or fifty palace guards disguised themselves and mixed in with the crowd, scattered around Emperor Yuan Yong.
Emperor Yuan Yong himself had practiced martial arts since he was young, but few people knew how good his skills were.
But there is no doubt that whenever you go out of the palace in disguise, your personal safety will be protected.
Since ascending the throne, Emperor Yuan Yong had made numerous incognito trips out of the palace. Although he hadn't ventured far, he had become quite familiar with the capital. This time, he had taken Xu Lanshan with him, simply trying to cheer her up. From the carriage, he asked with a smile, "Where do you want to go, Lan'er? What do you think about leaving the palace today?"
Xu Lanshan blinked, "But I'm not familiar with the capital. I want to try some of the capital's special snacks. Then we can visit some scenic spots, have a meal at a famous restaurant, and then go shopping in the downtown area. Wherever there's activity, how about that? It's a pity that it's too late. Otherwise, I'd like to visit teahouses, listen to operas at theaters, and then visit jewelry stores, silk shops, and antique shops!"
Emperor Yuan Yong looked at her eager expression and understood what she was saying. He deliberately glared at her and scolded her with a smile, "You are good at playing the long game to catch the big fish. Well, I will bring you here again when I have time in the future!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xu Lanshan achieved her goal and smiled even more brightly. She hugged his arm and rubbed against him, saying earnestly and obediently, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will be sensible and will never cause you any trouble! After leaving the palace, I will obey your arrangements! It's a pleasure to have more people serving you." She moved closer to him and whispered, "Isn't I better than Eunuch Dong Zhi? I can serve you much better than him!"
Emperor Yuan Yong laughed, "You!"
In order to follow him out of the palace, she even wants to take away Dong Zhi's job?
There was no other concubine like her in the harem.
Emperor Yuan Yong added with a smile: "What a promising future!"
Dong Zhi silently shrank into the corner, he didn't hear anything...
The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Xu Lanshan said again: "Out here, I can't call the emperor "emperor", can I call the emperor "brother Yuan"?
Emperor Yuan Yong was startled. Brother Yuan? Brother...
No one has ever called him brother. He originally had an older brother, but he died young. He had a younger brother who was now an idle prince, living a leisurely life in the capital. The brothers were not close. After all, they were not from the same family. They only met during the palace banquets during the holidays. He could hardly remember what his younger brother looked like.
Besides, they had never called him brother. When they were young, they called him "Royal Brother" and "Royal Brother" in a polite but distant manner.
The word "brother" was particularly new to him.
The words came out softly from her lips and teeth, tenderly, charmingly and affectionately, with a unique flavor that made people seduce without knowing it. When Emperor Yuan Yong heard the word "Brother Yuan", his heartbeat involuntarily became unbalanced and accelerated in that instant. The lingering sound lingered in his heart, making him inexplicably itchy.
He couldn't help but ask, "What did you call me? Call me again."
Xu Lanshan was a little confused, not knowing whether he agreed or not. Since the emperor had issued an order, she, a mere imperial concubine, had no choice but to obey. She smiled softly and said, "Brother Yuan! I'll call you that, is that okay?"
Emperor Yuan Yong's heart beat uncontrollably again, and the tingling sensation at the tip of his heart became more and more obvious.
His mouth was dry and he nodded randomly: "Well, then, then let's call you that. No need to be so polite outside, and Lan'er doesn't have to call herself a concubine!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xu Lanshan nodded happily.
Emperor Yuan Yong suddenly pulled her into his arms and held her on his lap: "I'll hold you for a while!"
Xu Lanshan blushed. Although she didn't know why he suddenly acted like this, she naturally cooperated obediently and snuggled in his arms. This man was simply inexplicable...
However, no matter what the reason is, he behaves like this because he likes me and cherishes me, and that's good!
It was not until later when she went to bed with him that he forced her to call him brother, brother Yuan, and good brother for half the night. The more he called him, the more excited he became, and he would not give in if he didn't call him... Xu Lanshan, who had cried until her voice was hoarse, realized how big a hole she had dug for herself today.
Emperor Yuan Yong instructed the coachman, and the carriage successfully stopped in a busy street with snacks, and the two men got off.
Xu Lanshan looked at the bustling streets full of people, and the faces of people talking, laughing, and bargaining, with a dazed and trance-like look in her eyes.
She used to be most annoyed by crowded places, where the huge crowds were a nightmare.
Now I am in it, how intimate it is...
Xu Lanshan couldn't help but sigh with joy from the bottom of her heart: "Brother Yuan, there are so many people!"
Emperor Yuan Yong chuckled and said, "Well, it's quite a lot!"
His favorite concubine has very special hobbies, but since she calls Brother Yuan so nicely, he will try to make her happy today. It doesn't matter what she likes.
The constant cries of vendors, the sizzling sounds of frying, roasting, steaming, and boiling, and the lingering aromas wafting from everywhere, all made people salivate. Xu Lanshan happily pulled Emperor Yuan Yong into the crowd, "Emperor—Brother Yuan, what would you like to eat?"
Emperor Yuan Yong chuckled: "It's all fine, as long as Lan'er likes it!"
"Well, then—I'm not polite!"
Opportunities are rare, so you must make the most of them.
Xu Lanshan bought things as she went along, and wanted to try a little of everything. Soon Emperor Yuan Yong's hands were full of things, including chess piece cakes, butter cakes, sugar-roasted chestnuts, sesame cakes, hawthorn cakes, dragon beard candies... Not only him, but Dong Zhi was not spared either.
Xu Lanshan enjoyed the food herself and would share it with him from time to time, feeding him a mouthful. This made Dong Zhi and Yu Huai's hearts flutter! Could the emperor eat something like this? The emperor's dragon body is worth a million gold. If something went wrong, what would happen? That would be terrible!
How could Empress Zhaoyi like all this? And she liked it so well, without a sense of incongruity...
They wanted to stop it, but the emperor glanced at them and they were both speechless and dared not say a word.
