Chapter 294: I Just Want to Trouble Your Majesty
Yan Wan said she wanted to share with Hongli, and she really meant it. After leaving the Empress Dowager, she took Chunchan directly to the Yangxin Palace.
When Jinzhong saw the person, a smile unconsciously welled up in his eyes. Only when he walked in front of Yanwan did he barely suppress the smile.
Yan Wan glanced at him, and just one glance told her that he had enjoyed the cake yesterday.
She felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, then wanted to laugh, and then felt unhappy.
He was quite open-minded and not afraid of her getting angry at all! Now he was pretending as if nothing had happened!
She said politely: "Eunuch Jinzhong, I am here to see the emperor. Is the emperor free now?"
This was in front of the emperor, Jinzhong did not dare to laugh foolishly, but acted politely and respectfully: "Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will go in and report."
Yanwan nodded and stood aside waiting.
Jinzhong entered the hall and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is here."
Hongli paused as he wrote: "Tell the imperial concubine that I have important memorials to review today. Tell her to go back first. I will visit her another day."
Jinzhong lowered his eyebrows and said: "Yes."
He had just taken two steps back when Hongli called him, "Wait, Imperial Concubine...what do you think?"
Jinzhong lowered his head and said, "I dare not look around. I only listened to her voice and felt that the Imperial Concubine seemed to be in a good mood and her steps were very brisk."
After a pause, she continued in a gentle voice: "I guess the Imperial Concubine is not unhappy about the Imperial Concubine Jia's affairs."
When Hongli heard that Yanwan was in a good mood and didn't come to cry to him, he felt relieved and his temper improved. He smiled at Jinzhong and said, "You servant, you are teasing your master."
Jinzhong knelt down and slapped himself on the face gently: "Look at my mouth! I really can't speak! I still need to learn more!"
Hongli was amused by his fake appearance and said, "Never mind. It's rare for the imperial concubine to come here. Go and ask her to come in. By the way, the imperial kitchen has just made some cherry yogurt, which tastes delicious. Go and bring some to the imperial concubine."
Jinzhong smiled and replied, "Yes."
He walked out of the hall in small steps and quickly went down the stairs: "Your Majesty, please come in."
When he made way for Yan Wan to pass by, he whispered, "The Emperor already knows about the events in Changjie and Yikun Palace."
Yanwan nodded almost imperceptibly and walked into the hall with brisk steps. As soon as she entered, Chunchan retreated to the door.
Hongli smiled and raised his hand towards Yanwan.
Yanwan stretched out her hand with a smile and placed her small hand in his palm.
Hongli exerted a little force and pulled the man to his side: "I am choosing the storybooks for you. Take a look. Do you like these three?"
Yanwan looked at the desk in surprise, walked around it and just as she stood firm, she was pulled into Hongli's arms and sat down opposite him.
Yan Wan blushed: "Your Majesty——"
Hongli hugged her slender waist and said, "Read the book, don't look at me."
Yanwan's ears turned red, and she patted his big hand shyly before going back to read.
I turned the pages one by one, and just after reading the beginning I wanted to read on.
She smiled sincerely now.
What if he was the emperor? Even when he collected storybooks, they were more rare than those collected by others.
Hongli held down her hand as she tried to read on: "These are all banned books. You can only read them here with me, and you can't take them out."
Yan Wan's eyebrows curved and her smile was beautiful: "I know that the emperor loves me the most and is afraid that I will be killed by others."
Hongli couldn't bear to hear her say the word death, so he turned her body around, made her sit sideways in his arms, and pinched her cheek: "You promised to live a long life and accompany me and the queen. Don't use unlucky words to describe yourself in the future."
He seemed to have transformed into a teacher, chattering on and on: "You have read a lot of storybooks. Have you ever heard of the phrase 'a word becomes a prophecy'? Some bad things will come true if you say them too much..."
Yan Wan listened patiently for a while, but her head hurt from his nagging, so she leaned over and kissed his thin lips.
Hongli immediately shut his mouth and stared at her. His deep eyes under his long eyelashes looked particularly affectionate. "Tell me the truth, are you really not angry about Concubine Jia?"
Yan Wan's slender white fingers gently stroked the back of his neck, and her voice was soft: "I have tried to humiliate her, but it was meaningless. I didn't feel happy. I even felt bored watching her humiliate desperate people."
She asked Hongli in confusion: "Why didn't she get tired of torturing me for five years?"
Hongli's eyes darkened, and he finally smiled softly: "You have a pure and clean mind, so you naturally don't understand people with deep thoughts. They are used to pretending. Since she pretends, she must not reveal her true nature. Over time, she will naturally like to do some violent things to vent."
Yan Wan still didn't understand: "What kind of secret could make Concubine Jia so depressed?"
Hongli was stunned, not sure whether Yanwan was trying to flatter Concubine Jia or was just expressing her feelings. Just as he was about to investigate further, Yanwan had already stood up and called Chunchan outside.
Soon, Chunchan came over holding a box.
Hongli looked at Yanwan's expectant expression and said with a smile, "What is it that you think of so fondly?"
Yan Wan smiled and said, "Of course it's a good baby!"
She took the box from Chunchan's hand, walked quickly to the table and opened it, revealing a thick stack of large characters inside: "Your Majesty has not taught me calligraphy for a long time. Please take a look and see if my calligraphy has improved recently?"
Hongli, who thought Yanwan was trying to seduce him with a gentle smile, said: "..."
He didn't really want to be a teacher at this time, but looking at Yanwan's eager eyes, he was really embarrassed to say those romantic words to dampen her enthusiasm for learning.
He never expected that she would drag him to study until late at night, until there was no more romance in his heart, and he finally fell asleep in her arms exhausted.
It was not until he got up in the middle of the night that he realized belatedly - this girl, although she said she didn't care, was actually still angry, so she came to bother him.
He was both angry and amused. He pinched Yan Wan's waist and kissed her awake. He made a fuss for most of the night amid her repeated cries of "Your Majesty, please spare me."
The next morning, he went to court refreshed and energetic. He specifically instructed people not to disturb Yan Wan. After she woke up and had breakfast, he read in the Yangxin Palace.
Chunchan stood by the bed with a smile on her face, watching Yanwan sleeping soundly and looking at her mistress's rosy little face, feeling extremely satisfied.
So what if Jin was made a queen?
The emperor should have gone to Jin's Qixiang Palace to give her face, but he didn't go. Not only did he slap the face of Qixiang Palace, he also slapped the faces of all the people who were waiting to see his master make a fool of himself!
