After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

Lu Lingyuan entered the hall alone. Under the sunlight outside the hall, she looked even more gentle and lovely.

When Xiao Chengji heard the voice, he looked in that direction, a trace of indescribable joy flashed in his eyes, and then he hurriedly stood up, his steps carrying a hint of urgency.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health!" Lu Lingyuan's voice was soft and clear, like a gentle spring breeze, blowing through people's hearts.

Before she finished her greetings, Xiao Chengji had already stepped forward quickly, grasped her slender wrist with his big hand, and said with unquestionable doting: "Okay, it's just you and me, we'll skip these red tape in the future."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Lingyuan replied in a still faint voice.

"Come." Xiao Chengji took her hand and was about to sit down without saying anything.

Lu Lingyuan was startled and tried to break free: "Your Majesty, this is against the rules!" Although her voice was soft, it carried a hint of panic that was barely noticeable.

However, Xiao Chengji just smiled lightly, exerted a little force on his hands, and pulled her into his arms. His movements were gentle but firm, "It's okay, there are only two of us, there are no rules here!" His words were filled with irresistible power, but also full of love and pampering for her.

Lu Lingyuan froze, and an indescribable fear surged in her heart. After all, this was the dragon throne, and only the emperor was qualified to sit on it.

"But..." She wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Xiao Chengji: "Okay, don't say buts anymore." He pinched her fingers, his tone ambiguous and gentle.

Lu Lingyuan was restless and frightened, but she was also afraid of displeasing him, so she was very nervous.

"I heard that you went to Shu'er's Yuehua Palace?" Xiao Chengji put one arm around her waist and played with her slender hand with the other, with an unintentional dark twilight in his eyes.

"Yes, when I went to pay my respects to my mother, I happened to meet Shu'er, so I went to sit in her bedroom." Lu Lingyuan responded truthfully without hiding anything.

"Shu'er is usually noisy and noisy. You are quiet and gentle. If you can't stand her, don't force yourself. Just tell me and I will handle it." Xiao Chengji understood Xiao Shuyue's personality. When she started to play, she would never stop and it was really annoying.

"No, I like Shu'er very much and we have a lot of fun talking to each other." Lu Lingyuan replied softly. At least she wouldn't feel lonely when she was with her.

"Okay, as long as you are happy!" Xiao Chengji said with a smile.

"You must be hungry! Let's eat!" Xiao Chengji said in a low voice. Actually, he wanted to eat her more, but considering that it was still daytime, it would not be good to indulge in lust in broad daylight. If it got out, the censor's impeachment memorials would fill up the entire Purple Palace.

"Yes." Lu Lingyuan's body resisted slightly, but she couldn't show it too obviously.

"Someone, serve the meal!" Xiao Chengji ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes." Outside, Rong An immediately ordered the palace servants to put the meal on the table.

Xiao Chengji took Lu Lingyuan's hand and sat down. Lu Lingyuan wanted to let go of his hand, but Xiao Chengji refused to let go.

"Your Majesty, I cannot serve you meals if you hold my hand like this." Lu Lingyuan spoke softly with a serious look on her face.

Xiao Chengji had an unintentional smirk on his lips and said in a low voice: "I don't need Yuan'er to serve me at meals, just serve me well at night!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Lingyuan's face turned red instantly. She felt her face was hot, and she was angry and annoyed.

"You..." Lu Lingyuan was so angry that she couldn't speak. He was just a scoundrel.

"Okay, okay, I said something without thinking, please don't be angry." Xiao Chengji had no choice but to humble himself and coax her again. He pulled her into his arms, holding her waist with both hands, with lust surging in his eyes.

Lu Lingyuan didn't want to pay attention to him and turned her face away. She was really angry.

Xiao Chengji directly hugged her on his thighs, pinched her chin, and said in an ambiguous voice: "Yuan'er, why are you so fascinating?" After that, he kissed her passionately.

“Hmm…” Lu Lingyuan grabbed his collar tightly and hit him hard with her other hand, but was grabbed by Xiao Chengji the next second.

Xiao Chengji's other hand quietly came to Lu Lingyuan's waist, untied the belt, took off her outer clothes, revealing her soft and pink underwear.

"No..." Lu Lingyuan was about to open her mouth to stop him, but Xiao Chengji fiercely blocked her red lips again.

The next second, Lu Lingyuan was picked up horizontally, and Xiao Chengji kissed her neck while hugging her.

"Your Majesty..." Lu Lingyuan was panting, her cheeks slightly red, and her head felt a little dizzy.

Before Lu Lingyuan could react, Xiao Chengji had already carried her into the inner room.

Xiao Chengji pressed on her directly and tore off her clothes, revealing her graceful figure.

"Mmmmmmm..."

……

Quarter of an hour later, Lu Lingyuan lay limply on the bed, and Xiao Chengji called her name over and over again, "Yuan'er..." His voice was low and mellow, causing a shudder in his neck.

Although Lu Lingyuan closed her eyes, her face was still full of anger. Xiao Chengji hugged her and pecked her lightly on the lips.

"I asked the palace maids to come in and serve us." Xiao Chengji said in a hoarse voice.

Lu Lingyuan still didn't respond, her breathing was a little disordered.

After the palace maids came in and cleaned up, they kept their bodies hunched over the whole time and dared not make any noise.

After all this trouble, Lu Lingyuan had no appetite anymore. She ate a few bites and then stood up to leave. While standing, her legs felt a little weak.

"Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, so I will not disturb you any further. I'll take my leave!" After a slight bow, Lu Lingyuan turned around and was about to leave without waiting for Xiao Chengji's consent.

Xiao Chengji grabbed her hand and said in a deep voice, "Why are you in such a hurry? Stay with me for a while."

A hint of impatience flashed across Lu Lingyuan's face, and she said in a cold voice: "This is against the rules. I'll take my leave!" She pushed Xiao Chengji's hand away and walked out of the palace without looking back.

Xiao Chengji raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and an intriguing look appeared in his eyes.

After Lu Lingyuan returned to Weiyang Palace, she went straight into the bathing room. After taking a bath, she slept for nearly an hour before waking up.

Yun'er heard the movement in the bed and immediately stepped forward, slowly pulled open the curtain, and whispered, "Your Highness, the princess is here and is waiting for you in the main hall."

"Shu'er is here? Why didn't you call me?" Lu Lingyuan slept for a long time and felt dizzy and tired.

Yun'er immediately explained, "I've been here for a while, and the princess said she doesn't want us to disturb you."

Lu Lingyuan sat on the bed, kneading her brows gently, and said in a hoarse voice, "Hurry up, don't let Shu'er wait too long."

"Yes."

After Lu Lingyuan simply put on her makeup, she came to the main hall. Xiao Shuyue came forward happily, "Your humble servant pays respects to the Emperor's sister-in-law!"

"Get up!" Lu Lingyuan said with a smile.

Xiao Shuyue walked up to her, took her arm, and said affectionately, "The emperor's sister-in-law is finally awake."

"Why are you here?" Lu Lingyuan asked with a smile.

"Come and play with the Imperial Sister-in-law! I finally get a day's rest, and I just want to stay with the Imperial Sister-in-law." Xiao Shuyue said coquettishly.

Lu Lingyuan covered her mouth and chuckled, saying softly, "It's just right that you're here. I prepared a gift for you and His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, but I forgot about it yesterday. It's just right for you today."

As she spoke, Lu Lingyuan nodded slightly to Yun'er, who understood and bowed to take it.

"There are also gifts? Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Xiao Shuyue said with a smile.

After a while, Yun'er came back with two exquisite boxes. Lu Lingyuan took them and opened one of them. Inside was a pair of gold filigree butterfly hairpins inlaid with jewels. The style was very novel and just right for Xiao Shuyue to wear now.

"This pair of butterfly hairpins was made by me in the Treasure Pavilion before, and I drew the styles myself." Lu Lingyuan said with a smile.

"The Empress's sister-in-law drew this herself. It's so beautiful!" Xiao Shuyue held it in her hand, her eyes sparkling and shining.

Lu Lingyuan raised the corner of her mouth, smiled happily, and said softly: "Put it on and see!"

"Okay." Xiao Shuyue said as she took off a pair of golden hairpins inlaid with jade flowers, red and blue sapphires and double beads.

"Yun'er, go get a mirror!" Lu Lingyuan ordered.

"Yes."

After Xiao Shuyue put it on, she admired it in the mirror for a long time. The smile on her lips deepened, and she said with a smile: "Thank you, sister-in-law. I like your gift very much."

"I'm glad you like it. The other box contains a jade pendant. I personally picked out a piece of mutton-fat jade and drew the pattern of the jade pendant..." Before Lu Lingyuan finished her words, Xiao Shuyue had already opened the box.

"This jade pendant is so beautiful!" Xiao Shuyue held it in her hand reluctantly, a hint of possessiveness in her eyes.

The jade pendant is in the shape of a cloud, with the cloud pattern swirling like a ruyi, giving people a feeling of elegance and lightness. This is exactly what it was designed according to Xiao Chengyi's "Yi" character.

"Imperial sister-in-law, you are biased. You gave the third prince such a good jade pendant. This is the finest mutton-fat warm jade." Xiao Shuyue pouted and said with some dissatisfaction.

Lu Lingyuan didn't expect that she also liked this jade pendant, so she had to say, "Then...if you like it, I'll have someone carve another one."

"Actually, there's no need. Third brother doesn't know about the gift anyway. If the empress doesn't tell me, I won't tell her either." Then he looked at the palace servants in the hall, cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice, "You won't tell me either!"

Yun'er looked at her own girl, her expression a little stiff.

"We dare not!" everyone replied hurriedly.

"That's all. Third brother is always wielding swords and guns. If this jade pendant is in his hand, he might break it one day. That would be a pity. Give me this jade pendant. When I go back, I will make a jade belt ornament out of the piece of mutton-fat jade that my mother gave me last year and give it to him. Let's consider it an exchange. That's it." Xiao Shuyue was very fond of this jade pendant and was about to tie it to her belt.

Lu Lingyuan stepped forward and stretched out her hand to stop her, "Shu'er, this is a gift I prepared for His Royal Highness Prince Cheng. It's not good for you to take it like this!"

"The pattern on this jade pendant is designed based on the word Yi in His Royal Highness Prince Cheng's name. If you like it, I can design another one for you. You have to hand this jade pendant to His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, then you may understand!" Lu Lingyuan spoke in a gentle voice, patiently explaining things to her.

"Okay then! The Empress Dowager gave me two gifts, so I have to give her a gift in return!" Xiao Shuyue said seriously.

"Okay!" Lu Lingyuan smiled faintly.

Xiao Shuyue stayed in Weiyang Palace for the whole afternoon and had dinner in the palace. While Lu Lingyuan was looking at the account book, she played tossing pots and shuttlecocks by herself. When she was tired, she played chess. Lu Lingyuan was doing two things at the same time, doing the accounts and playing chess.

But in the end, Lu Lingyuan was the winner.

When Xiao Chengji came back in the evening, Xiao Shuyue had not left yet.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!" Lu Lingyuan stepped forward. In the candlelight, her face looked particularly rosy and radiant.

"Greetings to my royal brother!" Xiao Shuyue bowed politely.

Xiao Chengji had a happy face when he came in, but the moment he saw Xiao Shuyue, his face instantly became serious, and he asked solemnly: "Why are you here?"

Xiao Shuyue pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you saying, my royal brother? Why can't I be here? I am here to see your sister-in-law, not you." Xiao Shuyue muttered the last two sentences in a very low voice, but Lu Lingyuan heard them clearly.

"What are you mumbling about?" Xiao Chengji frowned and looked increasingly dissatisfied at Xiao Shuyue.

"Nothing!" Xiao Shuyue raised her chin slightly and raised her voice.

Xiao Chengji said in a deep voice: "It's so late, why don't you go back?"

Xiao Shuyue pouted and whispered back, "None of your business." But she still agreed reluctantly, "Yes, I'll take my leave!"

"Yun'er, arrange for the palace maids to light the lamps!" Lu Lingyuan ordered hurriedly.

"Yes." Yun'er went out immediately to make arrangements.

Xiao Shuyue said happily: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

"Go back and rest early!" Lu Lingyuan said gently.

"Yes."

After Xiao Shuyue left, Xiao Chengji's expression changed again. He approached her with a doting look. The next second, his broad and hot palms fell on her waist. The strong and firm touch made her body stiffen.

Lu Lingyuan only felt a strong sense of oppression coming towards her and subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

But Xiao Chengji's grip on her waist continued to tighten, his eyes were as hot as fire, and there was a kind of intimacy that was rubbed into his bones.

Lu Lingyuan put her hands on his chest, looked away, and whispered: "Your Majesty, please let me go first!"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Chengji's expression changed slightly. He was not angry, but thought that he was not feeling well.

"Did I hurt you because I was too strong?" Xiao Chengji asked anxiously with a hint of guilt on his face.

Upon seeing this, Rong An immediately waved to the people in the hall, quickly retreated, and closed the door.

"No, I am a little tired today and cannot serve Your Majesty." Lu Lingyuan drooped her eyes and replied in a low voice. Before entering the palace, the nanny reminded her not to refuse His Majesty's favor, but she really couldn't bear it anymore.

"I haven't seemed to care much about your Majesty's harem these few days since I entered the palace. Your Majesty's previous palace maids were those sisters. I think it's time to meet them and give them a status!" Lu Lingyuan said calmly.

When Xiao Chengji heard this, he paused what he was doing and the expression on his face became solemn inadvertently.

Lu Lingyuan very subtly caught his subtle emotional changes, took a deep breath, and said carefully: "Did I say something wrong?"
