Chapter 173 Rejecting the Emperor
After returning to the palace, the emperor went to deal with state affairs.
An Jiu changed his clothes and washed up, and when he came out, he happened to meet Xiao Fuzi who was going to the warehouse.
Xiao Fuzi glanced at An Jiu, not knowing what he was thinking of, with a somewhat wretched expression. He smiled and said, "Xiao Jiu, His Majesty wants you to go over."
An Jiu "..."
work overtime……
It's so annoying.
I should have stayed in the house and not come out.
"Where are you going?" An Jiu asked him.
Xiao Fuzi smiled and said, "It's almost New Year's Day, and the Guanghua Hall needs to change its decorations. I'll go to the storehouse and get some."
An Jiu went to Guanghua Palace, where the emperor was having lunch. The lunch was winter melon and pork ribs soup sent from the imperial kitchen. Drinking this in winter is good for health. Last time, Concubine De also sent it to him, saying that she made it herself, but the emperor tasted it exactly like the soup from the imperial kitchen!
As expected, he has a face like Prime Minister Jiang and his personality is just as hypocritical.
An Jiu watched him eat and suddenly wanted to eat braised spareribs.
After the emperor had finished his meal, Xiao Fuzi also came. He brought several things with him. The moment they were put on the table, An Jiu's eyes widened.
She thought the plum blossom potted plants in the morning were beautiful enough, but when she saw the ones on the table, she still felt that she was superficial.
The Dog Emperor is so lucky.
He actually has so many good things.
Xiao Fuzi brought over a jade lotus bonsai with pink lotus flowers and green lotus leaves, which looked very lifelike.
Aaaaaaaaah.
Sure enough, the concubines in the harem were vying for more than just the emperor’s favor.
In addition to the lotus bonsai, there were several other jade bonsai pots, each more beautiful than the other. Finally, Xiao Fuzi brought up a tray. On the plate were a string of pink tourmaline bracelets and a peach pink tourmaline pendant, embellished with green jade. An Jiu was so beautiful that her eyes widened.
An Jiu looked like he had never seen the world before, which made Xiao Fuzi want to laugh. But he soon realized something was wrong, because Xiao Jiu was looking at these treasures, and the emperor was smiling at Xiao Jiu.
That expression...
It was difficult for Xiao Fuzi to describe it, and he lowered his head quickly.
The emperor came over and asked, "Does it look good?"
An Jiu nodded: "Your Majesty, it is really beautiful."
real.
It looks so good.
"Do you like it?"
Of course An Jiu likes it. Anyone who doesn’t like it is a fool.
The emperor said: "I still have many more."
Got it. So...
"Do you want it?" The emperor's three fatal questions left An Jiu confused. She looked up, met the emperor's eyes, and suddenly felt burned.
What's the meaning?
no.
Why did the Dog Emperor look at her like that?
"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you mean?" An Jiu swallowed.
Xiao Fuzi was worried for her. His Majesty's meaning was clear enough.
What's wrong with this Xiaojiu?
Don’t you understand this?
He was really anxious.
Please agree to His Majesty quickly. If you agree, you will be the master.
"If you want, I can give it to you." The emperor said lightly.
An Jiu's eyes widened, she stared at the emperor, and finally understood what he meant.
he……
There is no free lunch in the world. Such a precious thing was certainly not given to her because of her hard work.
He he he...
Why did he?
Anjiu's mind went blank. Why did the emperor suddenly become like this? Was he affected by the tyrant's emotions?
But tyrants will disappear sooner or later, and how long can the emperor's favor last?
Even now, maybe it was just a trick he did on a whim.
She has no power and influence, and if she is despised in the future, she will be miserable...
"Your Majesty, I am of low status and cannot afford such a good thing."
Xiao Fuzi's breathing stopped.
He wished he could crawl into a crack in the ground.
What did he hear?
He couldn't understand what Xiaojiu was thinking.
With such a good opportunity to be the master, why would you want to be a miserable slave?
Besides, had she just rejected His Majesty?
Will Your Majesty be so angry that he will kill him too?
An Jiu was also very nervous.
Although the emperor has behaved mildly recently, he is still the emperor after all.
just in case……
An Jiu felt a little regretful.
The emperor won’t kill her, right?
She pricked up her ears, trying to hear what the emperor was thinking.
But the emperor just snorted coldly.
When he was having dinner just now, Eunuch Li mentioned the matter of changing the furnishings, and he thought of Xiaojiu, so he asked Xiaofuzi to move things as if to show off.
It was only when he saw the joyful, lively and vivid expression on Xiaojiu's face just now that he suddenly had an idea...
He felt that he had been very tolerant towards Xiaojiu.
People don't do things without a reason. Xiaojiu must be special to him.
He might like her a little.
He would naturally get what he liked, so he said those words.
But I didn’t expect…
I didn't expect that I would be rejected for the first time in my life doing such a thing.
He stood for a while holding the bracelet, then threw the things on the tray and said to Xiao Fuzi, "Send the bracelet to Concubine Shu and the pendant to Concubine De."
Xiao Fuzi went out with the tray.
An Jiu thought that the matter might be over, after all, the emperor didn't seem angry.
But some things happened and they just happened, and you can't get over it.
And it's here with the emperor.
He didn't kill An Jiu, which was already very special and tolerant.
After that, the emperor never looked at her again, and the people who entered the inner hall to serve her became Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia.
Soon, everyone in Guanghua Palace knew that Xiaojiu had fallen out of favor.
As for the reason, no one knew except the three people who were present at the time, and Xiao Fuzi would not say a word to anyone.
He felt that Xiaojiu deserved it, and let her reject His Majesty? This was also a good time. If it was before, His Majesty would have killed her.
But at the same time, he admired Xiaojiu very much because she dared to refuse the emperor.
This is truly the first person since the founding of the country.
Xiao Fuzi remembered what Xiao Jiu had once told him, that she wanted to leave the palace.
I really don't know why she is so determined to leave the palace. There is intrigue in the palace, but there is intrigue wherever there are people. How can it be different?
An Jiu accepted it well. Not to mention the emperor, even an ordinary man would feel uncomfortable if rejected. She was very satisfied with this result.
As for not being able to serve in front of the emperor, then you can’t.
She couldn't reject the emperor and at the same time enjoy the benefits he gave her.
I just can’t eat braised spareribs.
But never mind, I’ll eat it every day after I leave the palace.
An Jiu didn't go out again, and no one came to see her. She was happy to be free and took a nap. When she woke up, it was already dark. There was no wind outside, and the stars dotted the night sky, which was cool and beautiful.
An Jiu couldn't sleep.
She feels a little homesick.
During this period of time, she had been deliberately trying not to think about it.
But today, I really couldn't help it.
For her, this place doesn't feel like a place of belonging.
Whether in the palace or out of the palace in the future, it is just a way for An Jiu to comfort herself.
In fact, she didn't want to.
I don't want to stay in the palace, nor do I want to go out and live a happy life.
She just wanted to go home.
I just want to go home...
But before the tears fell, they were gently wiped away by a hand...
