Chapter 708 Dancing Princess vs. East Factory Admiral 68
Chen Lang was only slightly tipsy, not drunk, and his consciousness was still clear. He always felt that the way she touched his head was like touching a dog, so he simply grabbed her misbehaving hand and held it in his.
"Changxi, you don't have to comfort me."
The fact that Meng Changxi pursued Chu Tuo was known to everyone in Meng Kingdom.
Quan Jiu sighed helplessly in his heart: "I didn't comfort you."
Chen Lang met her bright black eyes, and his drunkenness sobered up a bit:
"real?"
Quan Jiu: "Believe it or not."
Shen Lang hugged him tighter: "I believe everything you say."
Quan Jiuliang said quietly, "Chen Lang. Can't. Raise."
The man holding him stiffened.
After a while, Chen Lang lifted his head from her neck and stared into her eyes. His narrow and long eyes became dangerous. He was not angry, but his eyes became meaningful:
"All the palace people outside the palace have left."
Quan Jiu: “?”
She looked at him in confusion.
so what?
Chen Lang's mind was filled with the scene of last night. Her slender arms were lying on the pillow, her back facing him, her long black hair spread out on her back. Because she was afraid that someone outside the door would hear the noise, she simply buried her head in the quilt, her fingers clenching from time to time because of her endurance...
Not far away is her shawl and phoenix crown.
He wanted to be the first to see her in her wedding dress, so he put the neatly folded red wedding dress on her and then scattered it piece by piece to the ground.
Chen Lang: "So you don't have to endure tonight."
He issued a ban not only for those outside the gate, but also for all the palace servants in the entire backyard, prohibiting them from setting foot in the backyard until noon tomorrow.
He didn't intend to tell her just this, to avoid making her embarrassed and angry.
Quan Jiu smelled danger and tried to get up from his arms.
joke.
Her waist still hurts.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stood up, she was grabbed by the waist and held under the arm. Suddenly feeling weightless, she emphasized:
“Chen Lang!!”
The vicious threat, in Shen Lang's ears, became a flirtatious cry.
Chen Lang placed the person on a bright red bed sheet embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water. Looking at the woman in her wedding dress, his eyes darkened slightly as he recalled her pitiful look last night as she protected the dress, refusing to let him tear it or wrinkle it.
"If we couldn't tear it apart last night, we can at least do it tonight?"
………
The next day Quan Jiu did not go to court.
For several days, she was too lazy to care about the affairs of the court, and she was content to stay at home in the Yangxin Palace, never going out of the front door or the back door.
As soon as Chen Lang ascended the throne, doubts and provocations came from all sides. Every day when she woke up, the person beside her bed had disappeared.
When she was about to go to sleep, Chen Lang was either studying late into the night in the study or summoning ministers in the hall.
For three whole days, the total number of words spoken by the two of them could be counted on one hand.
Fearing that she would be bored, Shen Lang specially sent Shen San to accompany her.
"Your Majesty, these are lychees sent as tribute from the Western Regions."
Shen San handed the lychee to Quan Jiu.
Quan Jiu didn't look at Lizhi, his eyes fell on Shen San's face:
"Chen San, you are a sword-wielding guard in front of the emperor, serving tea and water in my Yangxin Palace every day. It must be very uncomfortable, right?"
These things are usually done by palace maids.
Shen San bowed his head respectfully and saluted: “Your Majesty, it’s not uncomfortable, this is the duty of your subordinates.”
Quan Jiu's lips curled up: "It's only been a few days since you were promoted, and you're already speaking in an official tone?"
Shen San lowered his head guiltily: "My Lady, please don't embarrass me..."
Quan Jiu peeled a lychee and put it into his mouth: "It's you who insisted on being particular with me."
Shen San wiped the cold sweat from his forehead:
"Miss Changxi, please stop joking with me. If the adults knew about this, they would definitely punish me by making me clean the toilet again."
He no longer followed the rules, and acted like a broken jar, showing the same attitude as when he was in the East Factory.
Quan Jiu grasped the key point: "Again?"
Shen San knew that he had let the cat out of the bag, so he could only bite the bullet and continue:
"It's about that incident with Miss Si. My Lord made me clean the toilet for a whole month..."
During that period, he felt a strange smell on his body even when he was eating and sleeping.
Quan Jiu sneered, "The number of toilets in this palace is more than double that of the East Depot."
Shen Sanyi's face wrinkled: "Please don't tell the adults about what I let slip."
Quan Jiu agreed immediately, and looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, she finally decided to go out.
"You accompany me around."
………
After basking in the sun in the back garden for a while, Quan Jiu was about to get up and leave when he heard people talking not far away.
"Have you heard? The vixen hidden in the golden house has finally left the palace..."
It was a woman's voice.
Quan Jiu stopped walking.
Are you talking about... her?
"I've heard that she's been staying in the Yangxin Palace all day these days, and Your Majesty has never visited her."
Quan Jiu raised an eyebrow.
Chen Lang went out early and came back late every day, and he was afraid of waking her up, so every time he came to the Yangxin Palace to spend the night, he only brought Chen San with him and traveled in a low-key manner.
Another charming female voice with a different tone sounded:
"What kind of thing is this? After being together with Lord Shen, she actually dared to marry His Majesty... Chu Tuo with her unclean body. It's no wonder His Majesty is ignoring her now, even though she's such a dissolute person."
The woman who had spoken at the beginning lowered her voice and said, "Don't call me Lord Shen anymore. This is a different time now. If someone hears and gets to His Majesty's ears, your position as Imperial Concubine Shu will be in jeopardy."
Concubine Shu was annoyed: "I just can't change it at the moment. Who would have thought that a eunuch would actually sit on the throne?"
Hearing this, Shen San could no longer sit still and was ready to go out and teach someone a lesson, but was stopped by Quan Jiu.
She shook her head: "I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well watch a show."
Liang Cairen said, "Sister, this is where you're wrong. Didn't His Majesty clarify things to the outside world? He's not a real eunuch, so why can't he sit in this chair?"
The Imperial Garden was separated by a wall, and the voices of the few people were very low. If Quan Jiu had not been close, he would not have been able to hear the conversation at all.
Concubine Xian covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Oh? My sister is protecting me now?"
Liang Cairen smiled shyly: "...I would like to protect him, but I'm afraid that His Majesty will not look down on me."
After Chen Lang came to power, the position of these women in the harem became extremely awkward, after all, they were the women who had served Chu Tuo.
Concubine Shu said calmly, "I think your Majesty doesn't mind. After all, that vixen was once married to Chu Tuo. If your Majesty doesn't mind her, then he naturally won't mind us either."
Consort Xian nodded and said, "That's true. Although she is a princess of the previous dynasty, the Meng family lineage has long since disappeared, and there is no one to support her. To be honest, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and still has to rely on my father and brother."
There was no saying in the Meng State that a woman could not serve two husbands. After her husband died, a woman could remarry. When a new emperor ascended the throne, the fate of concubines in the harem was entirely decided by the new emperor.
