Chapter 195 Your Majesty, You Treat Me So Well
Yanwan went to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, holding nothing else in her hands except a bunch of elegant lilies picked from the greenhouse.
When Hongli heard that she was coming, he was somewhat surprised and let her in.
The girl who strolled in was wearing a pink cheongsam and holding a bunch of lilies in her hands. The color was just right, fresh, elegant, and exuding a bit of vibrant beauty.
Hongli smiled and asked, "Why are you here today?"
Yan Wan usually wouldn't take the initiative to come to the Yangxin Palace. Occasionally, she would just ask someone to send some cakes and other items, as if she was afraid of disturbing his work. Today, it was unusual.
Yan Wan walked to the desk and said, "It's the little princess who misses the emperor."
As she spoke, a hint of shyness appeared on her face.
Hongli said with a smile: "Is it the little princess who misses me, or is it you who misses me?"
Yan Wan's face turned completely red: "Your Majesty, your Majesty will put these flowers in the vase."
She looked a little clumsy with her big belly, but her exposed wrists were still very slender and delicate. When she was arranging flowers, the sunlight shining through the window cast a gentle halo on her outline, making her look as if she were glowing.
Hongli walked quickly behind her and held her hand: "This one looks good when inserted here."
Yan Wan was pleasantly surprised and said, "As expected, the Emperor is really amazing! This flower is so beautiful!"
Hongli looked at her delicate profile and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Yes, it's beautiful."
His deep and pleasant voice was right beside her ear, causing Yanwan's cheeks to blush again.
Yan Wan moved her body little by little, turned back, and hugged him with her body slightly sideways: "Your Majesty, you went up to see me last night..."
Hongli didn't understand why she suddenly said this, and asked with a smile: "So?"
Yan Wan raised her head and looked at him with curved eyebrows and eyes: "So, I think the emperor must like me more than before. I dare to muster up the courage to ask for an audience with the emperor when I miss him."
Hongli's heart trembled, and he lowered his eyes to look at her eyes staring at him. He saw unfathomable emotions and a hint of imperceptible inferiority in them.
His eyes became softer and softer: "You can come later. If I am really busy, I will tell you and I will not be angry with you."
Yan Wan hugged Hong Li tightly and said, "I am really... lucky... to be your concubine."
Hongli smiled and pinched the back of her neck: "Don't provoke me."
Yan Wan blushed immediately and said unwillingly: "Your Majesty~~~"
Hongli chuckled and said, "I was planning to go to your place for dinner after finishing my official business. Since you are here, why don't you eat here? What do you want to eat?"
Yan Wan's eyes sparkled: "I want to try the new dish, the roasted duck and charcoal-roasted jelly!"
Her expression aroused Hongli's appetite. He called Jinzhong in and told him to serve the meal.
He stroked Yan Wan's hair and said, "Go read for a while. I still have memorials to review."
Yan Wan asked, "Does the emperor have any travelogues of strange things?"
Hongli tapped her forehead: "I just love reading these miscellaneous books!"
While scolding her, he personally went to the top of the bookshelf and found several books for her.
Yan Wan smiled like a flower: "Your Majesty, you treat me so well!"
Hongli pinched her cheek and went back to his desk to continue reviewing memorials.
After watching for a while, he suddenly heard a sound and remembered that there was Yan Wan in the room. Seeing that she was watching seriously, sometimes smiling and sometimes frowning, his tense mood relaxed a lot.
After taking a quick look, his mind sank back into the affairs of state until Jinzhong came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Empress Xian is here to see you."
Hongli subconsciously said, "Let her wait in the side hall."
Jinzhong responded: "Yes."
By the time Hongli reacted, Jinzhong had already gone out. He paused for a while with the pen in his hand and looked at Yanwan who was still smiling foolishly.
Yan Wan also looked at Hongli, the smile on her face gradually faded, she put down the book in her hand, walked to Hongli, and gently grasped his big hand: "Your Majesty, do you want me to leave?"
Hongli held her hand with his backhand: "If you leave, who will eat the burnt duck? I don't like duck."
Yan Wan immediately relaxed and said happily, "Then I will continue reading!"
She couldn't hide her excitement, which aroused Hongli's curiosity: "What did you see? Why are you so happy?"
Yan Wan was like a mouse dropped into a rice jar, and she quickly shared: "I saw a strange story about a fox demon who transformed into a beautiful woman. However, when visiting a lantern festival, he fell in love with a beautiful young lady from an official family, and they became close sisters.
However, the young lady was already engaged, and after only one year of being together, the young lady was about to leave the boudoir and get married. The young lady couldn't bear to leave the fox demon, and the fox demon also couldn't bear to leave the young lady, so the young lady designed to make the fox demon marry her husband.
After the fox demon was framed, she became pregnant, and her original immortal path was completely ruined. The young lady had been married for several years but still had no children, so she regarded the fox demon's child as her legitimate son. She didn't care when her husband took a concubine, and she just lived with the fox demon behind closed doors.
However, a snake demon that the young lady's husband had saved when he was young came to repay his kindness, but wanted to monopolize the husband, so he pretended to be pregnant, but was tricked by the young lady and the fox demon into having a miscarriage. The husband was furious and was about to throw the young lady and the fox demon into a pig cage! "
She spoke in a rhythmic and expressive manner, which attracted Hongli's fascination. He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a story, but the article seemed to have a large part of erotic content...
He coughed lightly: "You are still pregnant, why do you read all kinds of books!"
Yan Wan blushed after realizing it belatedly: "I didn't watch anything else, I just watched the development of the story..."
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became slightly ambiguous.
Yan Wan quickly turned her face away: "Your Majesty, have you finished reviewing the memorial?"
Hongli rubbed his brows and nodded at her: "Go read your book!"
Being interrupted by this, he completely forgot about Ruyi.
Yanwan smiled embarrassedly and hurried back to read.
Hongli glanced at her and saw that she obviously struggled for a while, but finally picked up the upside-down book. He shook his head with amusement and helplessness, and picked up the pen again.
It was a long time later before he finished reviewing the memorials thoroughly.
He remembered Ruyi who was waiting in the side hall. He looked up and saw Yanwan reading a book intently. After thinking for a moment, he did not disturb her and went to the side hall.
After his back disappeared at the door, Yan Wan, who was concentrating on reading, raised her eyelids and smiled meaningfully.
She turned a page of the book with an indifferent expression, took a sip of scented tea, and ate several pieces of cakes before continuing to read.
In the side hall next door, Ruyi smiled when she saw Hongli: "Your Majesty, I made your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake myself, please come and try it!"
Hongli picked up a piece, but didn't taste anything special, so he ate only half of it and put it down.
Ruyi looked at him worriedly: "Your Majesty, do you have a poor appetite today?"
Hongli couldn't say that he had to save his stomach for dinner with Yanwan later, so he asked with a smile: "Ruyi, what's the matter with you coming here?"
