Chapter 39 The Big Pit Problem
Without the emperor coming, the harem was peaceful and tranquil. The concubines did not have so many thoughts and lived a peaceful life.
Xu Lanshan hasn't been out for a stroll recently. It's better to keep a low profile during these busy times.
Otherwise, if she gets into trouble, it is hard to say whether the big boss, who is still angry and in an unknown mood, will stand up for her.
There is no need for her to suffer in vain.
That afternoon, someone came from Ganyuan Palace and said that the emperor wanted to invite Lady Xiuyi over.
Xu Lanshan did not dare to delay, and hurriedly dressed up and took Yuchan with her.
"Your Majesty!"
In the eastern warm room, Emperor Yuan Yong, wearing a moon-white robe with a dragon pattern, leaned against the kang, a scroll in his hand. Xu Lanshan knelt to salute, then raised her eyes to look at him with a charming expression. Their eyes met, and she smiled brightly, her eyes so charming and charming that Emperor Yuan Yong's mood brightened immediately. He laughed heartily and raised his hand, "Stand up and come sit next to me."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xu Lanshan didn't hesitate, she stood up and walked away gracefully, sitting down beside him, "Your Majesty finally remembered me!"
Thinking that he was supposed to stay at her place that night, but something happened in Xia Si Palace so he naturally didn't go there. He had been upset for a while and hadn't been to the harem for a long time. The beauty in front of him was the one he liked, Emperor Yuan Yong's heart was moved and he immediately became distracted.
"Well, I miss Lan'er too!" He smiled, threw away the book in his hand, and without saying anything, hugged her in his arms for a passionate and affectionate hug.
When they separated, both of them were a little out of breath.
It's like scratching an itch through a shoe, but you can't get rid of it, and it becomes more and more unbearable.
"Lan'er, please stay here tonight to have dinner with me and sleep with me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Lanshan would have preferred him to come to Cuiyinxuan so she wouldn't have to run back and forth, but since he was so excited, she couldn't spoil his fun. The emperor's dinner was much more sumptuous than hers, so she could only take it as a consolation.
"Come over later if you miss me."
Xu Lanshan was stunned. This could be considered a great favor. After all, not everyone could come to Ganyuan Palace.
The concubines in the harem came under the pretext of delivering soup and water, but usually they only delivered it outside the palace and no one could come in without the emperor's permission.
Xu Lanshan was surprised when she saw this: "Really? If I really came, Your Majesty, please don't think I'm annoying!"
"Of course I won't be bothered, Lan'er, just come!" Emperor Yuan Yong laughed heartily. He had originally thought that she would refuse modestly, but who knew she would agree so readily. However, when he heard her agree so "immodestly", he was very happy in his heart.
This woman is not pretentious and doesn't say one thing and mean another. She really likes him!
Xu Lanshan also smiled, with a tender look in her eyes: "Well, I thank the emperor for his grace!"
The two of them were chatting and laughing affectionately, but at this moment a minister came to see them to discuss important matters.
Emperor Yuan Yong was immediately disappointed and frowned slightly.
Xu Lanshan also felt a bit disappointed. The atmosphere was already there, and the mood was high. Next up should be a sweet and delicious dinner, followed by a hearty and exhilarating fight between the goblins. The affection between them would surely deepen a little bit, how perfect.
The result is all over.
Her luck has been really bad lately.
Good things are always interrupted by various accidents.
But she couldn't be ignorant at a time like this.
"Your Majesty," Xu Lanshan's delicate fingers gently scratched the palm of Emperor Yuan Yong's hand, and she said in a gentle voice, "I will not disturb Your Majesty. How about I come back tomorrow? Is that okay?"
The woman was clearly reluctant but had to speak so magnanimously, which made the already hesitant Emperor Yuan Yong make up his mind immediately. He shook her delicate, boneless, white hand with his backhand and said with a smile, "Lan'er, just wait here. Why wait until tomorrow?"
Xu Lanshan immediately smiled brightly, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Yuan Yong chuckled and gently pinched her cheek before getting up and leaving.
The people who came were the Minister of Revenue and two Vice Ministers. They were discussing the issue of military supplies for the northwest, which had been under discussion at court for several days. The court had been litigating this matter for several days, and Emperor Yuan Yong had finally issued a firm decision, ordering the Ministry of Revenue to fully support the matter. I hadn't expected these people to dare to come into the palace and complain.
As soon as Emperor Yuan Yong saw them, he couldn't help but feel angry.
The two sides exchanged a few words, but Emperor Yuan Yong became furious and shouted harshly.
After the three officials from the Ministry of Revenue were driven away, the atmosphere in the palace became terribly depressing. Emperor Yuan Yong's face turned ashen and his expression was cold. Even the chief steward Dong Zhi subconsciously bent over.
Emperor Yuan Yong really had no interest at this moment. After a while, he ordered, "Send someone to send Xu Xiuyi back."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Dong Zhi quickly bowed in response and went to invite Xu Lanshan.
Xu Lanshan in the East Warm Pavilion had actually heard it, and thought to herself that her luck was really bad!
She stood up and bowed to Emperor Yuan Yong to take her leave. After walking a few steps, she couldn't help but stop and turned back, saying softly, "Your Majesty, please stop being angry for a while. Don't be angry anymore! Also, remember to eat your dinner well!"
Emperor Yuan Yong was startled and couldn't help laughing. His mood suddenly improved a lot. He sighed and raised his hand to her: "Come here."
It’s better not to leave!
Xu Lanshan smiled and walked forward slowly. He pulled her and hugged her, letting her sit on his lap.
Dong Zhi tactfully winked and led everyone to retreat, inwardly marveling at the fact that Xu Xiuyi was quite something. When the emperor was angry, no concubine could persuade him! Of course, not many dared to persuade her.
No one would change their mind after the emperor had ordered them to leave...
Dong Zhi silently raised Xu Lanshan's status a little bit in his heart.
Emperor Yuan Yong played with the pair of delicate, boneless, and extremely beautiful little hands, whispering to the woman in his arms, and said nonchalantly, "You care about me so much, huh?"
Xu Lanshan replied naturally: "Of course, if I don't care about you, who should I care about?"
Emperor Yuan Yong, not knowing what nerve was touched, suddenly asked, "If I were not the emperor, but just an ordinary man, would Lan'er still care about me?"
What you care about is me as a person, or the man sitting on the throne?
This question was both embarrassing and life-threatening. If it went wrong, it would be disastrous! Xu Lanshan had never expected Emperor Yuan Yong to suddenly give her such a surprise. She was stunned.
Emperor Yuan Yong was displeased upon seeing this and frowned slightly: "Lan'er, answer me. Tell the truth and do not deceive me!"
He wanted to know.
Xu Lanshan smiled and said softly, "Your Majesty, how can I answer this? I am a concubine in the palace. If you were just an ordinary man, I would never have the chance to see you. If I were not a concubine in the palace, and you were an ordinary man, and I had the fate to meet you, I would definitely admire you. You are not only handsome but also talented. Even in a crowd of people, you are a remarkable presence! It just so happens that I am a person in the palace, and you are the emperor, and I have caught your eye. Isn't this fate? Your Majesty, I don't know how happy I am!"
