Queen's favorite

It seemed that he never thought that Qi Changle would answer in the affirmative, so Zhongliyu's expression could not help but pause slightly, as if he forgot what to say at this moment.

Although she didn't appear blank on the surface, she didn't think of how to answer in time.

Or - to refuse.

It's not just because she has never been in contact with women, but perhaps more because Zhong Liyu still hates further contact with others.

That step of contact with Qi Changle is already the biggest scale that Zhongliyu can accept.

Not to mention that the most important reason was that it was Qi Changle.

The dirty memories I saw in my childhood, the ugly memories I associate with after knowing the truth, what that person did to her...

None of them became the most disgusting and disgusting scene in Zhong Liyu's heart.

Not to mention, there is her birth that was never expected.

In fact, it's normal, if it were her, she wouldn't expect the birth of a child born to adultery.

In other words, if Zhong Liyu hadn't died of dystocia when she was born, it's not impossible that Zhong Liyu would have fallen to her death on the day she was born.

Zhong Liyu withdrew her thoughts and twirled her fingertips lightly. She thought about it, but found that she still hadn't figured out how to refuse.

It seemed that when she saw Qi Changle's pure and longing eyes, she couldn't say any words that she imagined.

In the end, she could only say one thing: "Let's talk about this later, okay?"

Qi Changle didn't feel much surprise in her heart, although she didn't imagine that the female monarch would refuse before, but similarly, she also couldn't imagine that the other party would agree.

Compared with being rejected, she cared more about the reason for Zhongliyu's rejection.

Because the other party also said that she hates contact with outsiders.

Although he is an exception, Qi Changle still wants to find out.

Why on earth would Zhongli Yu hate these things.Qi Changle was very concerned about the reason behind it.

It's just that it might not be good for her to ask directly, and Zhongliyu may not be able to answer.Her status in Zhongli Yu's heart should not be that high.

Wait a little longer.Qi Changle comforted himself in this way in his heart.

At least there is still a bright side.Zhongliyu refused her request to serve her bed, and she never did such a thing, which meant that even a noble concubine had never had an intimate relationship with Zhongliyu.

But... have they done other intimate things?

For example, what she and Zhong Liyu did.

Concubine, among the "others" who are not Zhongliyu.

In a short while, Qi Changle had already thought of these things.But she didn't show anything on the surface, she just smiled gently: "Okay, if Your Majesty wants my concubine to wait, then my concubine will naturally wait for you."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, my concubine will be waiting for you at any time."

Zhong Liyu looked at her, and slightly bent the corners of his lips after a while.I sighed in my heart.

At night, Zhong Liyu returned to his bedroom.On the table at the side of the room are the drawings of the palaces that have been revised this time. Among them, one of the palaces that is closest to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and is also the most gorgeous is circled by vermilion handwriting.

There is no doubt that this is reserved for Qi Changle.

Because when the two get along, Zhong Liyu seldom lets the palace people follow him closely, so Huang Zhongjin doesn't know what happened between Zhong Liyu and Qi Changle.

He only saw that after the two of them had dinner, His Majesty came out with some... in short, inexplicable, unpleasant and somewhat obscure emotions.

Of course, this should not be the case.Because Zhong Liyu is very clear about Qi Changle's specialness and attitude towards Qi Changle, so there are naturally other reasons for this.

After returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Huang Zhongjin thought for a moment, and finally asked cautiously: "The autumn hunt is coming soon, is your Majesty the one who is dissatisfied with this?"

Huang Zhongjin was almost Zhongli Yu's servant who was sent to serve her when she was born, so there is no need to say much about the relationship between the two.

Not to mention that Huang Zhongjin has experienced so many things with Zhongliyu, Zhongliyu trusts him in his heart.

Therefore, when faced with such a question, she knew what the other party really wanted to ask after a little thought.

There is no need to worry so much between her and Huang Zhongjin.Because Huang Zhongjin also knew about those things.

Zhong Liyu sat in front of the table with one hand resting on his forehead, his expression was indifferent and somewhat gloomy.

"I just recalled those things before."

She closed her eyes, with a shadow on her brows.It seems to be back to that day again.

Outsiders know that Zhong Liyu is the empress's daughter, the first princess who was loved and regarded as a treasure by the late emperor.

They all said that the first emperor loved this daughter the most, even more than his love for the prince; the princes had not conferred the title of land, and she, the princess, was given the title first, and was given a piece of land closest to the capital. For her territory.

The Princess Mansion was also the earliest and most luxurious.Although Zhong Liyu didn't leave the palace until he got married.

Even the other princesses are envious of everything Zhongliyu has obtained.

All of them thought that Zhongliyu's special love was due to her being a prostitute.

But wrong.

She is not a prostitute, nor is she born to the queen.

It was the queen's biological sister, the beloved wife of General Su at that time, and the daughter of Zhao Yinrong, who was forcibly taken into the palace and imprisoned for adultery.

Later Zhao Yinrong passed away due to dystocia, and Zhong Liyu was put under the queen's name.

This matter was done extremely secretly, and no one knew about it.

Of course, perhaps the most important thing is that the first emperor probably didn't want people to know what he did, so while Zhao Yinrong was pregnant, he ordered the queen to falsely claim to be pregnant without hesitation.

He couldn't let Zhong Liyu be born as Zhao Yinrong's daughter, because he couldn't bear the infamy of disturbing human relations.He didn't want Zhongli Yuji to be named under the names of other concubines, so he simply gave Zhongli Yu the most noble status.

After all, in his opinion, they are all brothers and sisters, so naturally they should love each other.

What's wrong with raising and recognizing my sister's daughter?

What's more, the queen hasn't had a baby for many years, so it's better to give away a daughter, who is still her own niece, than to take care of the children of other concubines.

And the first emperor will give this child all the favors, and then the empress will also be honored.

And this child will have the most noble background, as well as the love of two mothers and one father.

His abacus is good.

But she didn't expect that Zhao Yinrong would want to die with all her heart, and died of dystocia.

Unexpectedly, the queen who had been used by him as a stand-in for many years had already gone crazy, and had never given Zhongli Yu a good face.

Outsiders can only see that the queen is reserved and modest, caring but not doting on raising her daughter.But I don't know that Zhong Liyu has been confused all these years-why the queen mother doesn't like me.

It wasn't until the year she was poisoned that Zhong Liyu knew everything.

She was in a coma, but she was conscious, so she heard a lot of things she shouldn't have heard.

After waking up, because the toxin was not completely clear, and because of hearing those words, Zhong Liyu's temperament changed drastically.

……

Huang Zhongjin said softly: "Those things are not your Majesty's fault."

Zhong Liyu raised his eyelashes, his eyes were dark.

"I know. Of course I know I'm not wrong. It's just that sometimes, I also think..."

She looked at her pale fingertips, her eyes lost in thought.

"Actually, I shouldn't have gone on the anniversary of her death that winter."

That year, the first emperor was drunk and went crazy, suddenly broke into Zhongliyu's residence in the palace, and then forcibly took her away.

When Zhong Liyu was not without panic.

Because when she and the queen almost met each other later, the other party said almost everything in order to intimidate Zhong Liyu.

[Your father has been looking for someone with a similar appearance to your sister all these years, heh, Ben Gong, Concubine Li, Fu Jieyu, and Mrs. An, who doesn't have a face similar to your sister? ]

[It's a pity that these people, even Bengong, can only have three or four points of imagination with sister, but not seven or eight points.but……]

[Isn’t this right in front of you? ]

The woman with the phoenix crown laughed wildly.

[You and your mother were really carved out of the same mold. If I understand His Majesty, or if you leave all these matters aside, do you think he won't move the wrong idea on you? ! ]

[Do you really think that he still has humanity? ]

[So Ayu, you are so smart, what should be done and what should not be done, don't you understand? ]

No matter how much hatred Zhong Liyu had, she had to admit that she was frightened at that time.

It doesn't matter whether the emperor has such an idea, what matters is that she has no strength to fight against it and protect herself.

Even if she is the queen, she can't bring her down.

Therefore, Zhong Liyu could only bear with it, secretly accumulating his own strength.

Fortunately, she is not really alone.Maybe it was because of helping General Su, so the other party was also willing to wish her a strength.

Coupled with Su Muhe helping her behind the scenes, Zhongliyu was finally ready.

And then successfully counterattacked at the last moment.

Bloodbath the Forbidden City.

Zhong Liyu didn't know whether the first emperor had any dirty thoughts, because the other party took her away at that time, but took her to the place where Zhao Yinrong was buried.

She was obviously the wife of General Su, but she couldn't be buried with her after death, so she could only let this man who he hated and hated, who also insulted her, bury her in the imperial mausoleum absurdly.

At that time, Emperor Xian pressed her shoulders with a frenzied expression and cloudy eyes.

He was so excited that he wanted Zhongliyu to kneel down to pay respects, and told Zhongliyu in reverse words that this was her real mother.

Of course Zhongliyu knew.

But there was no warmth or joy in her heart.

All she felt was a cold sickness, stirring her stomach.

Why did you bring her here?

Did he think Zhao Yinrong really wanted to see the two of them? !

One is the sinner who forced her.

One is the evil seed that was forced to be born.

Zhong Liyu knelt in front of her mausoleum, his eyes were red, his expression was cold and gloomy.

Her emotions towards Zhao Yinrong were too complicated.She can be seen from the sidelines or face her as a princess.

But the only thing was that he couldn't come to see her as her daughter.

She looked at the cold tombstone and listened to the crazy words of the first emperor.

The intimate memory of the late emperor and the court lady that she had accidentally met was replaced by another face that belonged to Zhao Yinrong in her imagination.

Zhong Liyu had stomach cramps and almost vomited.

She remembered what the Queen had said.

[Do you think my sister really wants to give birth to you?Wrong, she couldn't, she had to. ]

[The emperor sent people to stare at her day and night, all the time there were palace servants in front of her, even under her bed, in order to watch her every move and put her under house arrest, just like treating a prisoner. ]

[My sister didn't want to give birth to you, she had to give birth to you, do you understand? ]

[Otherwise, why would she have no will to survive when giving birth? ]

Every single word was engraved into Zhongliyu's mind.

After Zhongli Yu ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to move Zhao Yinrong's tomb out to where she should go.

Then recover from the family murder case.

As for Su Mu and... She intentionally let the other party go free, but the other party seemed to be even more worried about Zhong Liyu, so she still chose to stay in the palace.

……

Zhong Liyu withdrew his thoughts, shook his head, and smiled coldly.

"Too much thinking today, obviously it's just the past."

But such old events have always haunted her, making her restless.

Huang Zhongjin felt distressed, but he didn't know what to do.This is Zhong Liyu's heart knot, although some of these knots have been untied - such as the ordinaryness of the Su family, Su Muhe's forgiveness.

But in the end, it cannot be completely lifted.

But this kind of thing is not something that he can help the other party as a slave.

Huang Zhong has more than enough heart but not enough strength.

He thought about it, and finally chose a topic that was easy to intervene in.

"Your Majesty suddenly remembered the past today, but what did you talk about with Jue Zhaoyi?"

Zhong Liyu's mood is almost restrained.She nodded: "Indeed."

Zhong Liyu pointed his fingers at the table, feeling a little embarrassed.

"She... wants to sleep with her."

Huang Zhongjin: ...

This doesn't seem like an easy answer.

"Then... what does His Majesty mean?"

Zhong Liyu sighed lightly.

"I still can't accept it." She lowered her eyelashes, her emotions were rarely soft. "But it's not easy to reject her directly, so let's just get over it first."

Huang Zhongjin nodded, of course it's okay.

Then Zhong Liyu said again: "What's more, two girls, how could it be possible..."

Huang Zhongjin: ...

He paused and paused, stopped and stopped, and finally couldn't help but say: "Actually, Your Majesty, it is also possible between women."

Hearing his words, Zhong Liyu narrowed his eyes and looked over with slight surprise.

"Ok?"

Huang Zhongjin had no choice but to say it again affirmatively, and said: "If it is a small album, there should be some paintings of women."

Zhong Liyu fell silent.

This information made her a little hard to accept.

She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for the first time.

After a while, she waved her hand, "You, forget it."

Zhong Liyu rubbed the center of his eyebrows, suppressing all the messy emotions.

"There is no need to mention it again."

She didn't speak clearly, but Huang Zhongjin could understand a little bit, so he bent back as if he hadn't spoken.

After washing up, Zhong Liyu went to bed and prepared to fall asleep.

She smelled the familiar ambergris in the house and closed her eyes.

I don't know if it was because the last topic of conversation left a deep impression on her, so Zhongliyu had a dream today.

I didn't dream of those uncomfortable memories.

Instead, he dreamed of Qi Changle.

In the dream, there is a mist, with a hazy beauty.

She and Qi Changle fell on the dragon bed together, and the two hugged each other intimately, like two vines, entangled with each other.

Even the loose black hair was tangled together.

She hugged him, her heart was hot, but she didn't know how to vent this emotion, she just felt her heart was agitated, as if soaked in hot water.

Qi Changle looked at her from below, his breathing was uneven, his winking eyes were like silk, with a color that had never appeared in the past.

Zhong Liyu kissed her as if fascinated, but he couldn't fill the clamor and longing in his heart.

"Your Majesty... hug me."

Zhongli Yushun obeyed his inner thoughts, lowered his head, and hugged the warm person in his arms.

Then, the dream woke up.

Zhong Liyu sat up, her silky black hair scattered behind her back, she bent her legs, and supported her forehead with one hand, calming down all the emotions just now.

What was the dream just now?

She actually dreamed about those things.

Zhong Liyu didn't know whether it was because she had no "real" contact that she didn't feel disgusted, or because the other party was Qi Changle and both of them were women so she didn't feel disgusted.

But after all...

For the first time, she experienced an emotion called longing.

Zhong Liyu closed his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, but it was still early for Zhong Liyu to get up in the past.

Because of her headache, it was difficult for her to fall asleep, so she woke up later after she fell asleep.

But at this time, Zhong Liyu was not sleepy, and even his headaches were much less.

She looked down at the opposite side of the bed, and then rang the bell.

Soon, Huang Zhongjin walked in.

"Your Majesty is about to get up?"

Obviously, he was also wondering why Yu Zhongliyu woke up so early.

Zhong Liyu closed his eyelashes lightly, and then said: "Huang Zhongjin, go and find some books."

Her voice was a little hoarse.Dry mouth.

Huang Zhongjin was puzzled: "What books does Your Majesty want to read? Can you go to the study?"

Zhongli Yu paused slightly, and his tone became more serious.

"I said, bring some, 'books.'"

Now Huang Zhongjin understood that he suppressed his complicated emotions and should be respectful.

Huang Zhongjin was very efficient in handling affairs, and brought a few pamphlets to Zhongliyu in a short time.

He bent down, stepped forward respectfully, opened the bed curtain for Zhong Liyu, and handed the book to him.

Eyes never look up during movement.Even if he knew that Zhong Liyu was always well-dressed when he fell asleep, and the other party would not mind this kind of thing to him.

But even as Zhong Liyu's closest and most trusted servant, Huang Zhongjin has his own limits.

Perhaps... Zhong Liyu had more or less regarded him as an elder, but Huang Zhongjin couldn't be without standards.

After handing over the book, he took another step back and helped the other party light the lamp.

"The servant will leave first."

Zhong Liyu nodded, pressing his hands on some books.

After waiting for no one, she closed her eyes, then picked up a book, and started to read.

The albums brought back by Huang Zhongjin are naturally of high quality, with clear designs, beautiful characters and attention.

Zhong Liyu looked down, feeling more and more uncomfortable the more he looked.

It turns out...it really does.

It turned out that this was the way to do it.

It turns out that it is also divided into the active side and the receiving side.

It turned out that it wasn't that...disgusting.

Especially, if she replaces the characters in the painting with her and Qi Changle.

Zhong Liyu took a deep breath, and after reading through it, he picked up the next one.

After reading it all, she covered her eyes with the back of her hand, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and her earlobes were flushed.

The day of Autumn Hunting is not far away, and Qi Changle is a little hasty in preparing his luggage.

After all, it was her first time to go hunting with her, so she had no experience.

But even so, Qi Changle was still in high spirits.

Several court ladies helped Qi Changle sort out what to bring. At the same time, she also specially made some new clothes for Qiu Lie to make it easier to move.

On the day of departure, she had already changed her clothes.

"Master's dress is really eye-catching." Suqiao immediately praised her.

Qi Changle raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, "Just compliment me."

She did, however, like the look.

It is said that this autumn hunt lasted for three days, so Qi Changle controlled what she brought, as for the palace servants, she brought Su Xi and Su Qiao with her.

Perhaps others would feel relieved because of Zhong Liyu's short three-day departure, but in Qi Changle's view, these were three days of joy for her.

Experience different things with different people.

Because there were not many people accompanying them this time, there were not many carriages.

Qi Changle found his own carriage, and sat in it.

Although various preparations before departure were cumbersome and complicated, none of this could dampen the joy in Qi Changle's heart.

After the carriage set off, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, lifted the curtains of the carriage, and looked out.

Unlike the last time I went out of the palace, the last time was probably a release, but this time, it was for fun.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and at this moment, someone came to Qi Changle's carriage and said, "Jue Zhaoyi, Your Majesty calls you over."

Qi Changle lifted the curtain and looked over in doubt, "Now?"

The man said, "Yes."

Although he didn't know why Zhong Liyu was looking for him, Qi Changle didn't hesitate, but prepared to go there.

It just happened to be conducive to deepening the relationship between her and Zhongliyu.

For that doubt, Qi Changle never gave up.

When she came to Zhongliyu's carriage, Qi Changle was slightly stunned, because she noticed that this carriage...wasn't it the carriage that Zhongliyu asked her to ride in when she went to Shangshufu to attend Qi Tianxiang's wedding ceremony?

At that time, she only thought the carriage was magnificent and extravagant, but she never thought that it belonged to the queen.

Because there has never been a royal logo on it.

Seeing Qi Changle's arrival, Huang Zhongjin greeted him with a smile: "Jue Zhaoyi is well, go up quickly, His Majesty is waiting for you."

Qi Changle couldn't help asking: "Eunuch, is this His Majesty's carriage?"

After seeing Huang Zhongjin nodding, she couldn't help but said, "Then last time..."

Huang Zhongjin smiled and said: "Your Majesty is afraid that you will lose face in front of the Qi family, so he specially prepared it for you."

He glanced at the carriage.

"This is His Majesty's private carriage, so there are no royal marks. On weekdays, His Majesty usually likes to ride in this carriage."

Qi Changle was slightly stunned, feeling hot in his heart.

So, at that time...she was riding in Zhongliyu's carriage.

Huang Zhongjin: "Jue Zhaoyi, please come, Your Majesty is waiting for you."

Qi Changle nodded and got into the carriage.

After opening the curtain and seeing Zhongli Yuhou, she couldn't help but pause.

Because this was the first time she saw Zhong Liyu wearing such a strong outfit.

She was wearing a black dress with red cloud patterns embroidered on the skirt, cuffs and hem.

The black black dress and dark red embroidery made her complexion paler, and her eyebrows and eyes were gloomy and beautiful, which was amazing.

Bring an eye-catching sophistication.

Zhong Liyu's hair was simply tied up, his cuffs were tight, and he was playing with a gorgeous short knife in his fingers, looking sassy but British.

Seeing Qi Changle coming up, she raised her eyes and smiled at her.

"come over."

The author has something to say: Doi has to wait a bit, it will happen naturally

Then this chapter is about Zhong Liyu's life experience, just, you understand the novel, so don't argue with me about "impossible blah blah blah" is meaningless

And... that, actually, Zhongli Yu, yes, surname, Zhongli hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

It doesn't matter if you think her surname is Zhong!

I don't know why, when I wrote this chapter, I suddenly felt that the time was not right?

emmmm

But if you think about it again, you can make it right...

First, the imperial palace was sealed, but the queen had no children. Zhao Yinrong married and gave birth to Su Mu and

Su Mu and Zhao Yinrong were taken away when they were 3-4 years old. Of course, General Su was restrained by the emperor at this time (and if he was taken away, he must have done some tricks, such as feigning death, etc.)

In the same year, Zhong Liyu was born and placed in the name of the queen

Winter died, so a year passed by this time too.

Zhong Liyu was poisoned at the age of 12 and learned the truth.

At the age of 13, General Su was exiled, and Zhong Liyu went to see him at the same time.

Ascension to the throne at the age of 17, this year happens to be the third year

perfect!

(Pretending to be logical) (By the way, the ancients were precocious!)

"So it's as if I haven't spoken..."

me?Bento, what bento?Is it tasty?
