Queen's favorite

The female gentleman quickly returned to normal, and hid the loose mood just now, as if nothing happened, and did not call Qi Changle up.

She just changed the question: "You seem very happy to see me."

Zhong Liyu's voice was neither soft nor heavy, with a hint of hoarseness at the end, and the tone was slightly deep, disturbing.It's like the curling fragrance surrounds the heart, which makes people sink.

Qi Changle was already able to handle it with ease, not to mention that such a question was within her expectation, there was nothing difficult to answer.

She maintained a squatting posture, obediently leaning on the female monarch's leg, and lightly holding the other's wrist with one hand, but it was not firm, but surrounded by a void, bringing a light touch, like It's like a cat's tail is wrapped around.

Be on the verge of leaving.

The corners of Qi Changle's lips were bent, and the curvature of the corners of his eyes merged into Xinyue's. "My concubine's wish is to accompany His Majesty, a long-term companionship, daily companionship, not just for a while; therefore, my concubine hopes to see Your Majesty often. Now that I see you, how can you be unhappy?"

There was a gleam in her eyes, and when she looked over with admiration from bottom to top, it was as confusing as a bright moon.

Zhong Liyu looked at her with lowered eyelids, his eyes fell on her gentle gaze, his eyes moved slightly.

"You are the first person who dares to say this in front of me." She raised her eyebrows slightly, making this comment, but there was no anger between her eyebrows, but other emotions appeared in her eyes.

Zhong Liyu snorted softly, "You're quite courageous."

She remembered what this person did in Tiyuan Hall that day.

Indeed, if you were a coward, how could you do that?How could he impress her.

Qi Changle could vaguely guess that when the female gentleman said she was bold, she was probably referring to the matter in the Tiyuan Hall.

After all, it is not an exaggeration to say that she acted like that at the time.But only Qi Changle knows that she is not bold, she just has no choice but to gamble.She was just being cruel to herself, that's all.

However, these thoughts cannot be known to the female monarch, so Qi Changle pretended not to understand her emotion, and just asked: "Then, do you still like it, Your Majesty?"

Those peach-blossom eyes looked over, filled with affection as intoxicating as wine.

"Does Your Majesty like me like this?" Her red lips parted slightly.

Zhong Liyu's fingers moved slightly, and the fingertips landed on Qi Changle's lips.

Qi Changle pursed his lips slightly, and touched her fingertips.

The warm softness contains the coldness, and the touch makes the heart tremble.

Zhong Liyu finally evoked a smile, his eyes were deep and dark, with a little gloomy expression and a hint of evil.

"like."

The corners of her lips curled up.

"A little more."

This is the first time that the female monarch showed her happy mood in front of Qi Changle. She didn't deliberately hide it, nor deliberately made her happiness unpredictable, but directly exposed her emotions.

Similarly, this is also the first time that Qi Changle has heard something like... words with clear orders from the female monarch.

It's like giving her the direction to go forward.

To be honest, Qi Changle didn't dislike such orders.

Because of such clear instructions, she can follow the established route with more confidence.

Although she never regrets her decision-making, when she is on the road, she will inevitably have some doubts and hesitation.

After all, she is also a human being, and she always worries about whether her previous guesses are correct, and whether her prediction of the queen's intentions is reasonable.

But now it's alright, with Zhong Liyu's affirmation, Qi Changle is relieved a lot.

Then, as if to praise, Queen Zhongli scratched Qi Changle's chin with his fingertips, and said, "Get up."

Qi Changle sat on the other side, at this time Suxi also put away the lotus pods, and served in the hall again.

While waiting quietly, she quietly observed the relationship between the female monarch and Qi Changle.

——It's a very normal relationship.

But it is this kind of normality, which is particularly surprising when it is placed on the female monarch.

Su Xi lowered her head, while controlling her expression, she was inconspicuously surprised.

It wasn't until this moment, when she saw the relationship between the two with her own eyes, that she understood why among so many people, only the young master, a noble family, could stand out.

Is what the queen lacks is the fear and respect of others?

On the contrary, she is too lacking in this.

What she lacks is exactly this freedom and "normality".

Since she came to power... No, when the female monarch was still a princess, she had grown up bathed in respect, and after she became an emperor, others probably only respected her more or less.

Therefore, I am tired of looking at that expression every day, not to mention that after her tyrannical reputation spreads, others will only be more afraid of her, and will not have the courage to approach her.

Such fear built a mountain for the female monarch, and she sat on the mountain, looking down at everyone.

Even though Su Xi is just a court lady, she also knows that when a person is alone in a high position for a long time, she may not feel anything at first, but after a long time, she will always feel lonely.

This is the case when people are not in high positions.

Not to mention the female monarch, or the emperor.

Being lonely or something is not just talking.

Therefore, when a bright light appeared at this time, it would naturally attract the female monarch's attention and draw her mind.

Because she is so special, yet so sincere.

That is something that the female monarch has never had in the past ten years, and it is also very rare in the harem, true love.

……

Because it was evening when the lady came, so Qi Changle took advantage of the opportunity to invite her to stay for dinner.

Although the food in her palace is just a nobleman's order to get from the imperial dining room, but she always wants to keep people.

After all, she loves the queen so much.

Facing Qi Changle's persuasion, Zhong Liyu didn't object, but hooked the corner of his lower lip, although he didn't respond directly, but he seemed to agree, and sat there without moving.

Therefore, Huang Zhongjin knew that the lady was going to eat here today.He withdrew silently, and then immediately called his apprentice to explain.

Although according to Qi Changle's status, he can only eat meals for noble people, but when the queen wants to eat here, she can't stick to the rules.

After hearing Huang Zhongjin's order, the little apprentice nodded immediately, and then rushed to the imperial dining room to deliver the order.

Qi Changle pretended not to see Huang Zhongjin's movements, and still accompanied the lady with a smile.

To be honest, she didn't have much hope when she asked, after all, according to her current relationship with the female monarch, she might not be able to get the other party's accommodation.

But now it's successful... It's a pleasant surprise.

Qi Changle made an overjoyed expression, smiled and looked at the female monarch, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of joy that could not be concealed.

When eating with a female gentleman, you can also observe some other party's taste preferences.It's good for her.

Soon, a steady stream of meals that far exceeded the nobles' quota was brought up, and the table was filled.

Qi Changle glanced at the well-made dishes, and then remembered the few dishes that were placed in front of the lady, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking.

Apart from the slight sound of porcelain clashing, there was no other sound on the table.

Zhong Liyu is not someone who likes to follow the rules, the reason why she is silent at this moment is just because it is unnecessary.

She glanced down with cold eyes, then took two mouthfuls without any appetite, drank some soup, and then stopped eating.

Seeing that Zhong Liyu had stopped eating, Qi Changle was a little surprised in his heart.

Too little.

She put down her chopsticks, pursed her lips, and the gentle smile that was undoubtedly on her face just now faded, and turned into a little worry.Qi Changle asked softly: "Your Majesty seems to have little food, is it because the dinner is not to your liking?"

But it shouldn't.Huang Zhongjin has been a servant who has been with Nujun for many years, and he will not allow the imperial dining room to serve food that Nujun doesn't like.

As for the duty of the imperial dining room, it will only rack its brains to research the delicacies that the female monarch likes, and will not let the bad things be brought out.

Hearing Qi Changle's worried question, Zhong Liyu put one hand on the table and tapped it lightly, then raised his eyes to look at her, and smiled. "how?"

She just didn't answer the question.

Qi Changle lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly. "The concubine is just a little worried about your majesty."

Zhong Li's expression between Yu's eyebrows was calm, he tilted his head, and then answered her: "Don't worry." There seemed to be a smile in her eyes, but this smile was like a sharp knife mixed with it, and the pierced bones were cold .

"I can't die."

Qi Changle curled up her fingertips.This is not easy to answer, but it cannot be ignored.

So Qi Changle lowered his voice, "But... it will be very uncomfortable."

She raised her eyes and looked at Zhong Liyu, her black eyes contained a little worry and pity. "It's going to be hard if you're hungry."

At times like this, we have to persuade, but we can't...persuade from a high, overlooking, and outsider's perspective.

Qi Changle thought of this from the bottom of his heart, and quickly changed his course.

She frowned slightly, and there were some other emotions in her expression, as if she felt the same way.

"If you are hungry, it will be very 'painful', like a fire burning in your stomach, with scorching heat and a bit of dull pain, making people want to scratch, but they don't know what to scratch..."

Sure enough, her words did not arouse Zhong Liyu's disgust, but instead made her raise her eyebrows, a little curious.

"It's so detailed, why, have you been hungry?"

Qi Changle pursed his lips, lowered his head, there seemed to be water in his eyelashes. "When my concubine was young, I was hungry. That feeling was so uncomfortable that my concubine still remembers it now, so I don't want His Majesty to suffer from it."

Zhong Liyu looked over, his eyes darkened.Her expression was unclear, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Tell me." She said suddenly, her voice a little low. "When you were young, why were you hungry?"

Qi Changle raised his head slightly in surprise, and looked at the other party.

This time, her emotions were not faking.

The female gentleman sitting across from her was dressed in black, with a calm expression on her face, but the emotion in her eyes was filled with violent depression, as if a storm was about to come.
