Chapter 152: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wei Yanwan. 72
If one were to say that the person who could control Hongli the most right now was Wei Yanwan, after he had been sulking just now, he could not help wondering if he had treated her badly. At the moment, he was daydreaming in the palace, thinking about whether he would show goodwill and apologize later.
However, after a while, he heard Jinzhong come to report that the queen had arrived. Hongli immediately smiled and felt that he and the queen were really in sync.
Wei Yanwan saw Hongli coming out with a smile and knew that he was not angry at all, so she put the things she brought in front of him.
"I asked someone to make this for you, Your Majesty, please try it."
The emperor and the empress, who had no conflicts to begin with, acted in harmony again. Hongli narrowed his eyes and looked at her lips.
Wei Yanwan tickled him: "Why are you looking at me?"
"Red lips, white teeth, and a beauty like jade." Hongli said this frivolously, clearly looking like a playboy. Wei Yanwan threw her handkerchief on his face and said, "You are shameless. You are the emperor."
Hongli smiled and took a bite of the bird's nest and said, "It's a feast for the eyes. It's absolutely beautiful."
In the end, Hongli did not go to the Yanx Palace to see Concubine Ying. Instead, the candles in the Yangxin Palace were extinguished early. Inside the Yanx Palace, Meiruo waited until midnight before reluctantly going to bed. Qingying seemed to have known this result and sneered in the direction of the main hall.
The emperor can't even muster up interest in her now. Could it be that his personality has changed after he has a Mongolian concubine?
Wei Yanwan has now really won over the emperor, and everything she wanted most is now with Wei Yanwan.
She always felt that it shouldn't be like this...
No matter how unwilling she was, she could only fall asleep under the moonlight. When Wei Yanwan got up from the bed the next day, it was already late.
After Chunchan helped her wash up, they set up a canopy in the yard. After putting all the tables, chairs, fruits, and snacks there, they came in and helped Wei Yanwan, who was simply dressed, out.
"My Lord, Wang Chan just said that there is news from the Yanxi Palace that Concubine Ying is now dissatisfied with the Emperor and the Empress in the palace."
Although it is only the first day, Concubine Ying has already said that the Emperor has been distracted by love.
No one expected that Concubine Ying was so stubborn, just like Concubine Xian.
Wei Yanwan didn't care at all and said lightly: "In that case, let her complain."
Chunchan looked at Wei Yanwan, wondering why the Queen was so concerned about such a small noble, but since the Queen said so, they would just do as she said.
Wei Yanwan took off her armor. Recently, she had Wanpin, which made her less busy. Wanpin was a good person after all. Now that she had something to do, she didn't have to think about Hongli all day long. She was busy and happy.
She had no experience with these things at first, but after Wei Yanwan asked Lan Cui to help take care of them for a while, she did very well. She was also happy and at peace with herself. Now she had some free time to take out the guqin and play it.
"You just asked around, there are no ministers in the Yangxin Palace, right?"
"Don't worry, Madam. I have asked Eunuch Jinzhong, and he is now in the Cining Palace. I am afraid it will take another half an hour."
"That's good."
The sound of the zither lingered in the air, and the palace servants who were serving moved around very lightly, not daring to disturb her in the slightest.
After the song ended, Wei Yanwan opened her eyes and saw a yellow corner of clothes. It turned out that Hongli had returned early.
"You've never played for me before."
At first, Hongli really didn't know that Wei Yanwan had this skill. If he hadn't arrived in time, he would probably not have known that Wei Yanwan had this skill.
"The Emperor is here."
Jinzhong behind him had a smile on his face. He didn't expect that the Queen was so talented and beautiful. She was so talented and beautiful today. It was really beyond everyone's expectation that she showed off her skills. After all, such wonderful piano music made people feel refreshed just by listening to it!
Who dares not to say something brilliant?
Wei Yanwan looked at Chunchan, who lowered her head innocently and said, "Your Majesty, it was not my intention. It was really the Emperor who forbade me to do so!"
Wei Yanwan didn't expect him to come so early, and said helplessly: "Isn't the emperor at the Queen Mother's place?"
How did it come so fast?
He came back so quickly even if he stepped on a watermelon rind. I'm afraid he just arrived at the Cining Palace and didn't even have time to sit down when he came back.
Thinking of the Empress Dowager, Hongli felt tired. She was just thinking about asking him to meet the Mongolian concubines. What he did yesterday had already displeased the Empress Dowager, and now it was a warning to him.
But if he really listened, what would he become?
From now on, he will have to listen to the Queen Mother and others as well. And then anyone can influence his thinking?
Things in the previous dynasty were already bad enough. If he couldn't do what he wanted in the harem, then what would he become?
Hongli sat beside her, stroked the strings of the zither and said to her, "I have just come back after speaking to the Queen Mother."
As he spoke, Hongli turned to look at Jinzhong, and Jinzhong immediately placed the lychees in his hand on the table in front of them.
"This is?"
Wei Yanwan turned her head and looked at Hongli. The lychees seemed to have just ripened and there were only about twenty of them. Hongli peeled one for her and said with a smile, "The lychees presented by my subordinates are ripe now, so I'll bring them to you to try."
It is said that these fruits are from Fujian. They were put on a ship and shipped to Kyoto as soon as they started to bear fruit. They are just in the right condition to be here. Now that they are ripe, Hongli has people pick them.
Wei Yanwan pinched the lychee and looked at him and said, "This is fresh. Your Majesty, can you bring in more?"
There were more than forty in total, ten were given to the Queen Mother, and the rest were all here. Hongli looked at her and said with a smile: "I didn't ask them to come in a few years ago, and I had forgotten about this thing. Now that I have it, I will bring it to you to try, and leave a few for Yongqi, and the rest we can eat together."
Hongli didn't think it was a big deal at all. There wasn't much of it, and each person would only get one or two as a reward. It would be better not to give it as a reward and just give it to the queen to eat.
Wei Yanwan smiled and took a bite. Unlike the lychees in the modern world, it still had a little bit of astringency, but it also had a unique flavor.
After eating a few, the two of them froze them and waited for Yongqi to come back at noon. After cleaning up the garbage on the table, Wei Yanwan said to Hongli: "This thing is sweet and refreshing, and it tastes different."
Hongli smiled and nodded, looking at her as if to ask for credit: "Well, I am still thinking about you."
Wei Yanwan: "Yes, Your Majesty is the best."
Wei Yanwan smiled and leaned against him and said, "Your Majesty is quite knowledgeable about music theory, why don't you play a song for me?"
"I am ashamed to say that although I understand music theory, I have never learned to play the harp." Hongli did not hide his shortcomings. He looked at Wei Yanwan and said with a smile: "Yanwan plays very well. I just listen."
Wei Yanwan nodded slightly, and there was a hint of regret in her eyes when she looked at Hongli. Her slender hands and fingertips danced on the piano, which was charming in its own way.
