The villain female supporting role will never admit defeat

"His Highness is awake?"

Lu Xingyun looked at Mei Zhi nervously.

Mei Zhi nodded: "Yes, Mr. Lu, His Highness is awake, and she specially ordered her maidservant to tell you."

Lu Xingyun said: "Just wake up, just wake up."

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Lu Xingyun asked the boy next to him: "What time is it?"

Zhishu frowned and thought for a while, Meizhi saw this, and helped to answer: "Young master Lu, when the maidservant came, I checked the time, it is now around three o'clock in the afternoon."

Lu Xingyun solemnly nodded, said nothing more, and quickly returned to Chadong Palace.

Seeing that he was in a hurry, Mei Zhi was a little confused, but she had already been notified, so she went back.

Chu Yaoguang didn't go to bed immediately, but asked the maid to help change the fine cloth for her dressing.

With steady hands, Lu Yao took over the task and slowly helped Chu Yaoguang take it apart, and replaced it with a clean muslin.

After half of the cloth strips were changed, Mr. Zhu quickly stepped into the bedroom: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has come to visit you."

Chu Yaoguang raised his eyes in surprise.

In the next second, Chu Yi came in.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, Chu Yaoguang grabbed the end of the unwrapped cloth strip, and made a gesture to salute Chu Yi.

Of course, Chu Yi would not let his seriously injured daughter see the salute, so he took two quick steps, supported Chu Yaoguang, and said, "There is no need to salute, just keep doing what you have to do."

Chu Yaoguang nodded.

Lu Yao boldly continued to change the fine cloth for Chu Yaoguang in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

"It's so late, why is the Queen Mother here?" Chu Yaoguang asked with a smile.

She was also fully dressed, as if she hadn't slept yet.

But it shouldn’t be possible. In this day and age, there are no electric lights, and there are no entertainment activities. When it gets dark, what else can you do besides sleep?

It's almost ten o'clock at night now.

"I heard that you woke up, let's take a look at the situation," Chu Yi said, "Does your head still hurt?"

Probably because he is used to being the emperor who is admired by tens of thousands of people, even if Chu Yi said some concerned words, his tone would not be particularly soft, and he would appear to have no emotion.

Chu Yaoguang made a gesture of being flattered, and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern. My son still hurts a little, but it should be okay."

"That's good," Chu Yi said, "I heard from the imperial physician that some of the injuries on your body were not caused by big bugs, please tell me about them."

Hearing the words, Lu Yao trembled slightly.

In the palace, it is always taboo to hear secret things. After all, if things ferment, the more one knows, the easier it is to be silenced.

She tried to steady herself, and continued to change the muslin as if she hadn't heard anything.

According to Chu Yaoguang's understanding, although Chu Yi has some feelings for his heirs, such feelings are divided into different categories.

Chu Yaoguang, Chu Mingyu, and Chu Baoqi's three daughters are her most important daughters.

Then there are the sons, those from the father's family who are strong and lovable are kind of doted on, while the sons who come from a humble background and can't be good-looking are inferior.

Chu Changan is a typical example.

Chu Yaoguang believed that as long as she told the story, Chu Chang'an would be severely punished.

Of course, Chu Chang'an would never admit that it was because of Chu Mingyu that he dealt with him.

"It's nothing, Queen Mother," Chu Yaoguang smiled, "I have already taken back those who offended my son, and as an imperial sister, saving my younger brother is also a good story."

I've already called back, and it would be a bit of a bully to ask the parents to make the decision.

She was full of smiles: "But the emperor is not young anymore, and it's time to get engaged. Find him a concubine he likes, so that he won't be distracted all day long."

Needless to think, he knew that Chu Changan would never agree to marry.

But she didn't want him to get married, but to find something to hold him back so that she wouldn't have to fight for his sister all day long.

When he was standing high enough, he could get him out of the palace with a flick of a finger.

Chu Yi nodded: "I will speak to your queen father."

Chu Yaoguang said: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

"One thing for you." Chu Yi suddenly remembered something, took out a small box from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to Chu Yaoguang.

Chu Yaoguang smiled: "Hasn't the ancient wooden bow been sent to my son? Why do you want to send something again?"

Chu Yi said lightly: "This is something else."

It's a birthday gift.

Chu Yaoguang felt ironic in his heart, celebrating Chu Mingyu's birthday openly, and when it was his turn, he sneaked around in the middle of the night.

"Emperor Mother, you won't be rewarded for your merits," Chu Yaoguang said with a happy expression, but his tone was firm, "Your servant will be very happy when he gets what he deserves."

Chu Yi's hand holding the box tightened slightly.

She felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't know why.

"Really?" Chu Yi asked with a frown.

"I really don't want it." Chu Yaoguang answered seriously.

His Majesty the Emperor sent this gift just to make up for the guilt that Chu Yaoguang had caused because of her wrong birthday, and to make her own conscience feel better.

But Chu Yaoguang didn't want it.

Chu Yaoguang wanted to calm her conscience.

But even if you feel ashamed for a while, forget it if you are not sure about it for a while.

Chu Yaoguang never overestimated his weight in other people's hearts.

Chu Yi took back the box: "Forget it if you don't want it, it's getting late, you should have a good rest."

Chu Yaoguang tilted his head, only to realize that Lu Yao had finished changing the cloth strips.

"Respectfully send off the Queen Mother." Chu Yaoguang lowered his head.

Chu Yi glanced at her and left.

After seeing off Chu Yi, Chu Yaoguang waved to the people in the room: "Go down and rest."

Although she wasn't too sleepy, these people should be tired after taking care of her for so long.

Several people retired respectfully.

Just when Chu Yaoguang had nothing to do and was thinking about the next plot point, there was a light knock on the door.

"Your Highness, Mr. Lu is asking to see you."

Chu Yaoguang was startled, gathered his clothes, smoothed his hair, and said, "Please come in."

The door was opened, and Lu Xingyun walked in. When he looked at Chu Yaoguang, there seemed to be a little water in his eyes.

Chu Yaoguang took a closer look, but it was gone again.

It should be an illusion.

"Your Highness." Lu Xingyun nodded.

Chu Yaoguang noticed the food box in his hand at a glance, and smiled: "Are you afraid that I will be hungry, so you bring me food?"

Lu Xingyun nodded.

"Why are you here to deliver it at this time? It's so late." Chu Yaoguang laughed, thinking it was very funny.

Lu Xingyun rolled his Adam's apple, and said softly, "It's not too late."

He put the food box on the table, took out a mahogany tray from it, put a blue and white bowl on the tray, and took out a pair of chopsticks.

The candle flame flickered slightly, and there seemed to be faint smoke coming out of the blue and white bowl.

It's hot.

Lu Xingyun brought the tray in front of Chu Yaoguang: "Do you have an appetite, Your Highness?"

It is a very simple bowl of noodles, with a poached egg lying next to the slender noodles, and finely chopped shallots sprinkled on top.

Chu Yaoguang was stunned.

"Although the appearance is mediocre, the taste is not bad. Your Highness, please try it." Seeing that Chu Yaoguang was still not moving, Lu Xingyun was a little anxious, and advised in a low voice.

Chu Yaoguang picked up the chopsticks, picked up the blue and white bowl, and lowered his head to eat the noodles.

She ate the food in big mouthfuls, looked at Lu Xingyun with a smile, and praised vigorously: "It's delicious! Thank you for your noodles."

Thank you for making longevity noodles.

She always thought that she didn't care if it was her birthday, but when Lu Xingyun offered her heart, she realized that she was just pretending not to care.

She worked so hard to win beautifully on the original body's birthday, in addition to wanting to win for the original body, she also wanted to win for herself.

This is her first birthday in this world.

Lu Xingyun shook his head, and said in a gentle voice, "You're welcome, as long as it's not too late."

Chu Yaoguang looked at him: "It's not too late."
