Chapter 485 This word really has the character of a word
Her watery eyes gazed at the emperor affectionately, as if she wanted to engrave the person in front of her in her heart forever.
"Silang, Huanhuan has long been accustomed to a life of seclusion. Now, I have a request. Huanhuan is a deposed concubine, and it is a blessing to be able to serve the emperor again. I really don't want the concubines in the palace to quarrel again because of today's incident."
The emperor frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. "Are you still calling yourself a deposed concubine? What did I call you in front of Gao Changjin and Cui Jinxi just now? Huanhuan, you have never left my heart all these years. I have always regarded you as Concubine Wan."
"If you don't want to cause trouble in the palace, I won't even mention it to Concubine Hua. From now on, I'll let Gao Chang come in to take care of your daily life."
Zhen Huan snuggled in the emperor's arms, hearing his steady heartbeat in her ears, but with unspeakable hatred in her eyes.
"As long as Silang has Huanhuan in his heart, Huanhuan will be happy even if she has to practice in solitude here for the rest of her life."
The emperor was deeply moved by her straightforward and affectionate words.
"Huanhuan is so considerate, how could I bear to let you suffer all your life? I have few children, and now Hongli has unfortunately passed away. It just so happens that three concubines in the palace are pregnant. So, I will order Ganlu Temple to hold a monthly prayer meeting, and I will come here to burn incense myself."
Hongli: ???
"Then Huanhuan will wait for Silang here at Lingyun Peak."
Zhen Huan glanced at the sky outside and urged reluctantly.
"Silang, it's getting late. You should set off back to the palace. The road to Lingyun Peak is difficult to travel, and Huanhuan is worried that it will be unsafe for you to go back in the dark."
"Hanhuan, you're urging me to go back, but you're pulling at my clothes."
The emperor saw the blush that instantly appeared on Zhen Huan's face and laughed out loud, "Haha."
"You, you!"
"After three years, Huanhuan, you've really changed a lot. No matter what you become, I like you."
"Do you take Shiro's words seriously?"
Zhen Huan stared straight at the emperor, with a startling light in her eyes.
"Yes, I like you as a person."
The emperor once again expressed his feelings. Initially, he had looked at Zhen differently because of Chun Yuan, but now he truly cared about her.
"Hanhuan Xinshilang."
Neither of them mentioned leaving again, and they snuggled together tightly, feeling each other's body warmth.
Gao Changjin, who was guarding outside the door, looked at the setting sun in the sky, sweat breaking out on his forehead with anxiety.
"Changjin, please go and invite the emperor quickly, or you'll miss the time when the palace is locked."
Cui Jinxi persuaded gently.
The emperor's late return is a big deal and it will definitely be recorded in his daily records.
If the mistress enters the palace pregnant tomorrow and people associate it with the emperor's late return, it will be embarrassing if this gets to the censors.
There cannot be even the slightest flaw on her little master.
Gao Changjin knew very well that the two masters were in love at this time. If he was not tactful enough to step forward and remind them, he would probably make the emperor unhappy.
But Cui Jinxi had already seen through Gao Changjin's dilemma, and she persuaded him gently.
"Changjin, the emperor is a man who knows right from wrong and won't make things too difficult for you."
Gao Changjin thought that Concubine Wan was once the most favored concubine in the harem, and Cui Jinxi was always by her side, so she might have some understanding of the emperor.
He gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to shout softly outside the door.
"Your Majesty, it's time to return to the palace!"
"Your Majesty, return to the palace..."
"You little dog slave, I know what you're yelling about!"
After hearing the emperor's irritable voice in the room, Gao Changjin dared not say a word anymore and could only stand respectfully at the door.
Seeing that the emperor's face had visibly darkened, Zhen Huan smiled and advised.
"Silang, Eunuch Gao is right. It's time for you to return to the palace."
"I will wait here for you to return and share the sunset with you."
"Hanhuan, you...I also look forward to enjoying the beautiful scenery with you."
The emperor patted Zhen Huan's hand reluctantly and tucked the quilt in for her.
"You're tired today, so don't come out to see me off. Go get some sleep after I leave."
"Hanhuan listens to Silang."
Zhen Huan let go of the corner of the clothes in her hand and urged him again with reluctance.
"Shiro, it's getting late, please go back."
Watching the bright yellow figure disappear on the platform at the top of the peak, Zhen Huan's face turned cold and she ordered
"Jinxi, prepare some water for me, I want to take a bath!"
"Master, there's hot water boiling in the kitchen. Bai Zhi and I will bring it over right away."
The master's crying after sleeping with him could be heard outside the door, and Cui Jinxi knew the pain in her heart.
She had long anticipated that her master would want to take a bath, and she asked Baizhi to prepare water in the kitchen.
On the other side, the emperor became more and more upset as he walked, and he kicked Gao Changjin who was beside him.
"I'm going back to the palace later, it's not like I can't get in. Why are you reminding me?"
The emperor didn't use much force, but in order to calm the emperor down, Gao Changjin let out an exaggerated "ouch" and rolled backwards under the force.
He never thought that he underestimated the density of the rocks on Lingyun Peak. His right foot accidentally hit a sharp stone in the grass. His body tilted and he rolled down the slope.
By the time the guards found him, Gao Changjin had already fainted.
The emperor ordered with a sullen face, "Choose two fast guards to carry the man down the mountain and have Li Songling examine him as soon as possible."
It was all thanks to Gao Changjin that he and Huanhuan were able to communicate with each other again. The emperor also asked him to help deliver letters to the two of them, but he didn't want to see such a sensible eunuch get into trouble.
The emperor and his entourage rode at full speed but still failed to enter the palace before the door was locked, and this was recorded in the daily records.
Songzhi, who had been paying attention to the emperor's movements, hurried to report.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has returned from Ganlu Temple!"
"I'm back now, so I'm back."
Concubine Hua complained silently in her heart: Perhaps only the national mourning can arouse her interest.
She pressed the rice paper into Songzhi's hand and said, "This is the calligraphy that Anle practiced with Zhaohua today. Take a look. I think it's quite good."
Songzhi, who loved the princess, quickly unfolded the rice paper in her hand. When she saw the several large ink blobs on it, she praised loudly against her will.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. Princess, your handwriting is truly elegant."
Concubine Hua was about to laugh, but she chewed Songzhi's words over and over again, then immediately stared at her with sidelong eyes.
"Do you think you don't take me seriously just because you have Lingrong's support?"
"Master, I am innocent. I was just thinking about something and that's why I made a slip of the tongue."
Songzhi begged for mercy with a smile.
"I heard that the Emperor was on his way back..."
After hearing this, Concubine Hua's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Zhaohua took Anle to study today. As her mother, I have to come and thank her."
"Songzhi, prepare a thank you gift and follow me to Yongshou Palace."
