Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

At this moment, since Liu Tanxin spoke like this, Zhao Ji immediately added the sentence quite lightly:

"It is indeed wrong to favor a concubine from time to time, but if I frequently visit the queen's place after this, will it not be considered a special favor?"

"The Queen is so beautiful and extremely intelligent."

"If I can stay with the queen often after this, I will definitely feel very comfortable."

But who would have thought that as soon as Zhao Ji finished speaking, Liu Tanxin glanced at him with a pretty face and an angry look.

The expression in his eyes is also inexplicably complicated:

"The officials are really good at joking."

"Have you forgotten what you told me back then?"

The look on Zhao Ji's face was startled.

At first?

How could I know what that old boy Zhao Ji had said to you back then?

What you said really stumped me.

Zhao Ji laughed twice:

"What was it in the first place?"

"Queen, please don't play riddles with me anymore."

"My memory is really bad these days."

"In a short while, I also forgot what I said to you."

Liu Tanxin glanced at Zhao Ji angrily, and at the same time, her next tone also had a bit of a sour taste:

"I think at the beginning, the officials told me that I was just a wooden person with no interest in my heart."

"At the beginning, if I didn't look at the face of my ancestors, it would have been absolutely impossible to recruit me into the palace, let alone let me be the master of the harem."

"These words have been remembered in my heart for a long time."

"But I never thought that the official would forget those words in a blink of an eye."

"You really have a cold nature!"

Zhao Ji grinned in shame and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to defend himself.

So, I could only change the topic:

"Queen, who is the Liu Xiangning you mentioned when you were talking to me just now?"

"The meaning in your words seems to be that I am very familiar with her."

Liu Tanxin's complexion gradually turned pale, and her moist eyes no longer fell on Zhao Ji all the time.

His tone was even more cold:

"The official is so forgetful that he even forgot the name of the person he wanted to spend time with all the time."

"If that's the case, then when I mentioned those words just now, I thought it was just asking for trouble."

"In this case, I, my concubine, will retire now."

After Liu Tanxin finished speaking, she was ready to salute Zhao Ji and leave.

However, Zhao Ji, who stood up from the chair in a hurry, grabbed his sleeve.

Liu Tanxin was angry, and suddenly turned her head to find a chance to vent her anger, but she saw Zhao Ji's face that was full of fawning:

"Queen, I have remembered it. I have remembered who you were referring to just now."

"For a long time, others called her Liu Meiren in private, so gradually, I also forgot Liu Meiren's original name."

"So just now, when the queen accidentally mentioned the name Liu Xiangning, I didn't remember it for a while."

"It's all my fault, Queen, please don't be angry."

As Zhao Ji spoke, he wanted to take the dignified beauty in front of him into his arms so that he could comfort her softly.

But Liu Tanxin turned her slim waist at this moment and managed to avoid it:

"What the official said just now is true. I am a very straightforward person."

"I really can't be as pretentious as other women."

"If the official family really doesn't like it, then there is nothing I can do about it."

"If I were to follow the example of Li Shishi and Zhao Yuannu, using those women's little tricks to tease officials."

"That concubine is absolutely incapable of learning."

Zhao Ji looked at the master of the harem who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and couldn't help feeling helpless.

Because just from the above words, Zhao Ji could already tell that this extremely dignified and beautiful woman in front of him was very concerned about what that old boy Zhao Ji had done in the past.

Since this is a chronic disease, it is difficult to completely repair it in a short period of time.

When Zhao Ji understood this logic, he no longer forced the other party to do more for him.

Now, since this dignified and beautiful woman in front of her is willing to take the initiative to help herself with silver coins, it means that she still has a certain status in her heart.

Even though she spoke calmly and repeatedly covered up matters such as her family, country, and world, the light of hope in her eyes could not be faked.

After Liu Tanxin left, Zhao Ji thought a lot in the study room alone.

Thinking about what she had just talked with Liu Tanxin, and what Liu Meiren, that is, Liu Xiangning, was doing at the moment.

At the same time, he was also thinking about Lin Chong's current situation.

Why had his little sister-in-law not given him any news even though it had been several days?

When Zhao Ji came back to his senses from the endless sighs and thoughts, the window outside was already full of black.

Zhao Ji stood up slowly, first planning to go to the window and open it to see if it would snow again tonight as usual.

But before he could open the window, Eunuch Sheng sang and shouted outside the door:

"Kunning Palace, the Queen's maid Xia Lan wants to see the official."

The expression on Zhao Ji's face was startled, and then he replied towards the door:

"Let her in."

As the carved dragon wooden door slowly opened, a palace female official wearing a light pink embroidered cotton robe with a beautiful and slightly childish face slowly walked in from the door:

As the teeth opened slightly, the voice became even more sweet and moving like a silver bell:

"My maid, Xia Lan, is here to deliver the things the official family needs on the order of the empress."

With that said, the pretty female officer took out a sandalwood box as big as a fist and handed it to Zhao Ji.

After Zhao Ji accepted it, he smiled kindly at the female officer:

"Xia Lan, thank your master for me."

After Xia Lan left, Zhao Ji slowly opened the sandalwood box in his hand.

Inside, there was not only a 10 tael silver note folded in half, but also a note with a delicate note on it.

Zhao Ji frowned, and then a smile appeared on his lips.

I didn't realize that the woman was very sensible in her dealings with others, but sometimes her temper was a bit cold.

But I never thought that I would also use the people around me to pass notes.

But I don’t know that there is a secret look at me on that note?

Or are you flirting with me?

Or maybe just now, there were many things that were inconvenient for me to say face to face, so you just wrote them all on it?

The more Zhao Ji thought this way, the more possible he felt in his heart.

Unconsciously, his movements in opening the note became extremely brisk.

But after Zhao Ji unfolded the note, when a horizontal small word on it suddenly appeared, Zhao Ji couldn't help but make him laugh or cry.
