Queen's favorite

Hearing Zhong Liyu's question, Su Mu and Wei paused, but at the same time, they evoked a chuckle.

It seems that the other party denied so much verbally, but in the end, they were still no match for the truest thoughts in their hearts.

Su Muhe was delighted that Zhong Liyu had rarely revealed his thoughts, and was also happy that the other party was able to get out of the shadow that the late emperor brought her and fell in love with someone seriously.

But at the same time, he was also a little helpless.

After all, Su Muhe really couldn't answer Zhongliyu's question.

This is different from the questions that Zhongliyu asked him in the past, such as how to gather strength, endure the day, and deal with government affairs. Those questions still have traces to follow and books to look up.

But this question... is really a test for Su Muhe who has never been tempted.

Not to mention being tempted, except for Zhong Liyu, he has never had contact with other women.

So this question seems simple to him, but it is actually tricky.

Su Muhe coughed lightly: "I think it should be to exchange sincerity for sincerity."

It says so in the book.

So Zhong Liyu wanted Qi Changle to only have her in his eyes, so she had to do the same.

Zhong Liyu raised his eyes and glanced at him, holding his breath.

"wrong."

"What's the real thing, I didn't like her, I just wanted Changle to like me."

It is not overbearing.

Su Muhe slightly raised his eyebrows, and looked at Zhong Liyu.

The beautiful and coquettish female monarch sat there, even the noble aura on her body could not suppress her gloom and gloom, but it was this kind of temperament that made her more seductive and bewitching. feel.

Although Su Muhe knew that Zhongliyu was not a good person, nor was he the kind of king his subjects liked, but he never expected that Zhongliyu would be so bad.

He picked up the book that fell on the ground, rubbed the cover, and said thoughtfully: "You don't like her, but you want her to like you, and you still can't do without you."

Zhong Liyu nodded, "Exactly."

Su Muhe felt a little pain in his heart.

Even though the past events can no longer cause any harm to him, his heart still hurts at this moment.

It's all because of the first emperor who made Zhongliyu into a disaster.

For a long time, he felt an emotion called grief.

Su Muhe put down his book, and said helplessly, "Ayu, your behavior is very bad, and if you put it in a script, you will be scolded."

Zhong Liyu sneered and raised his eyebrows, very fearless.

"Just scold me, anyway, are there still few people who scold me and curse me?" She bent her eyebrows and smiled, she didn't care. "Anyway, I may not be able to live long, but I must live more recklessly than them, so apart from scolding me, they probably have no way to vent, so, let's scold me."

Su Muhe glanced at her: "Then what if Jue Zhaoyi scolded you?"

Zhong Liyu paused, thinking of the possibility Su Muhe had mentioned, the expression on his face slowly froze, revealing the coldness at the bottom.

"She won't." She said with certainty, but pinched her fingers.

Su Mu said softly, "That's not necessarily the case. Jue Zhaoyi is getting along with you now because she thinks that you treat her with the same thoughts. But if one day she finds out your true thoughts, then—"

Su Muhe bent her lips and persuaded, "I'm afraid she will be a little sad."

"It's not certain what a person will do once his heart is hurt."

Zhong Liyu originally wanted to say that it has nothing to do with me that she is sad.

After all, in her current position, she could stop worrying about anyone and just do things according to her own will.

But before she said those words, she suddenly paused.

Inexplicably, Zhong Liyu thought of Qi Changle's face and the image of those peach blossom eyes filled with tears.

"..."

Zhong Liyu glanced away, and pressed his lips together.

She would never admit that she was afraid, worried, or even...frightened that such a thing would happen.

It's not all because Qi Changle is afraid of crying because of it.

She was afraid that the other party would be like what Su Muhe said, from now on, there would be no tenderness, smiles, longing for love in her eyes, only resentment.

Zhong Liyu lowered his eyelashes and took a slight breath.

Seeing Zhong Liyu stop talking, Su Mu smiled clearly.

He put down the book and poured himself a cup of tea leisurely.

"I don't know much about these things, but if Your Majesty asks for my opinions or thoughts, then my suggestion is - if Your Majesty wants to obtain something, you should first pay for something of equal value."

"One thing for one thing, one's heart for one's heart."

Hearing his proposal, Zhong Liyu didn't have the enlightenment she had imagined, on the contrary, her eyes were even more gloomy.

Zhong Liyu pinched his fingers, his expression was indifferent, with a certain kind of boundless coldness, even the curvature of his jaw was cold and sharp.

"People like me..." She laughed mockingly, "I don't know what the true heart is for a long time."

"and."

She looked down at her hands.

"I am the late emperor's daughter. My sincerity is naturally as dirty and disgusting as him. It is better not to give it."

Su Muhe's face sank slightly, and he said in disapproval, "I've already said, you are you, and the late emperor is the late emperor, why do you bother to bind yourself in it?"

Su Muhe sighed helplessly, "Ayu, your sincerity is also very precious, so don't belittle yourself."

Zhong Liyu propped his forehead with one hand, closed his eyes, and concealed the complicated emotions in it.

Su Muhe didn't know.

Because Zhong Liyu never brought up all kinds of dark thoughts that cannot be understood by outsiders.

One is that it is unnecessary, and the other is that she can't meet the person she wants to talk about.

Outsiders only know that she is a tyrant who is feared by everyone because she has an unpredictable temperament and violent rage, but they don't know that Zhong Liyu has a sincere heart.It's just that her sincerity is very harsh, and it also contains all kinds of exclusive gloom and intractable paranoia.

But even so, this is Zhongliyu's sincerity.It's just that she has never met anyone who is worthy of telling her her sincerity, so Zhongliyu didn't bother to defend certain rumors, such as she has no heart and lungs, only loves herself, and so on.

Zhongliyu can love, but the person she falls in love with... may not be a good thing.

After all, the rumors on the surface alone are enough to make people fear her. If they know some of Zhong Liyu's thoughts, they will be even more afraid to avoid her.

Although Zhong Liyu never cared about what others thought of her, Qi Changle was the only one who couldn't.

Now that she has provoked him without authorization, Zhong Liyu will never allow her to leave.

Even if Qi Changle died, he could only die by her side.On the other hand, if one day Qi Changle's affection for Zhong Liyu disappears, it can only be on the day of her death.

Zhongliyu has too many paranoid thoughts in her heart, she has never told anyone.Even Qi Changle didn't know.

Su Muhe said, let her exchange her heart for her heart...

Qi Changle's sincerity is naturally very precious and bright.

But hers.

I'm afraid it's like a pool of dark and foul-smelling black mud that invites people to avoid it.

How could Zhongliyu show such sincerity?

Therefore, she can only pretend that she never owned it, face it with an indifferent attitude, and then hide her dark heart in the deepest part, no one can see it.

Because Zhong Liyu never believed that someone could see her sincerity and follow her without any grievances.

Su Muhe could only persuade her so far, after all, no matter what, the closest relationship between him and Zhongliyu was just brother and sister, Su Muhe couldn't make any decisions for her, he could only suggest.

In the end, he just offered a word of persuasion.

"Ayu, if you really want to go on together with Qi Changle, sincerity or trust, these are what you two must have."

"I don't know what kind of person Jue Zhaoyi is, but if you really like her, you can try to trust her."

Zhong Liyu raised his eyelids, revealing his dark eyes like thick ink.

She stared at her palm, and said tiredly after a long time.

"Muhe, it's not that I don't believe in Changle. I just don't believe in myself."

When Zhongliyu was rarely calm and normal, she examined the thoughts in her heart, and occasionally felt slightly surprised.

She is indeed the daughter of the first emperor, and she has indeed inherited a lot from him in some aspects.

If one day Qi Changle suddenly fell in love with someone else, if he was a normal person, he might have no choice but to let go after persuading her to stay. I wish her happiness.

But Zhongliyu... There is absolutely no word letting go in her dictionary.

If there is such a day, I'm afraid she will agree on the surface, and then find a way to keep Qi Changle in the palace, and then secretly find out who she likes.

Mere execution may not be enough.

She will catch that person, then imprison him, and at the same time find someone to pretend to be that person, and slowly act for Qi Changle, pretending to be a heartless person, and betray Qi Changle.

Abandoning his back was not enough, he had to backstab, and let Chang Le feel the pain of harakiri.

She wanted Qi Changle to feel that falling in love with someone other than her would be such a pain, that he would rather die.

If possible, she even wanted Qi Changle to be afraid of falling in love with others from now on, and then let Qi Changle betray all relatives, leaving no place to go and stay in the world except her side.

Then she slowly, bit by bit softened and took possession of Qi Changle.

But this is far from enough.

She wanted Qi Changle not to sleep at night except sharing the bed with her.

She wants Qi Changle to trust no one but herself from now on.

She still wants to have sex with Qi Changle...and kiss each other intimately, and let that person hear every word in the next door.

In the end, he was hacked into pieces.

Zhongliyu let out a breath, looking tired.

She stood up and lowered her eyes.

"I'm going back."

Su Muhe was still a little worried because of Zhong Liyu's last sentence. Hearing this, he opened his lips, but he didn't know what to hold back. In the end, he just said: "Don't think too much, if there is any trouble, it may not be If you want to ask me, you can also talk to Jue Zhaoyi more."

He comforted Zhong Liyu: "Maybe Jue Zhaoyi's feelings for you are far deeper than you imagined."

Zhong Liyu didn't answer, just smiled slightly and shook his head.

……

Because it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, although there was no lively atmosphere in the palace for the time being, the few little maids under him were much more lively than usual.

Qi Changle can also understand, after all, here is different from the outside, they naturally don't have to worry about the Queen's affairs, so they are not so trembling.

Suqiao asked: "Master, do you have any mooncake fillings you like? Let's say hello to the imperial dining room and ask them to pay more attention."

Qi Changle chuckled: "Of course I can do it, there is no need to say hello."

Suqiao said: "Master is so favored now, these things are what they should do."

Qi Changle lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, but didn't say anything more.

In the past few days after returning from the hunting ground, Qi Changle is not idle, but is preparing a gift for Zhongliyu.

This is what she promised before, saying that she will give it to her when she comes back, so don't forget it.

The reason why she didn't send it immediately after she came back was because this was the first time Qi Changle... did such a thing, she was a little nervous in her heart, so she subconsciously wanted to delay it for a few days.

The second is that she wants to get acquainted with it again, lest something will go wrong due to nervousness.

After these few days of practice, Qi Changle felt that he was very familiar with it, so he decided to meet Zhongliyu sometime so that he could give this gift.

Before evening, Qi Changle specially ordered Suxi to go to the Qiankun Palace to confirm that Zhongliyu was in the Hall of Mental Cultivation at night, and she was ready to clean up after she was confirmed.

She changed into a gauze dress, her fair skin was faintly visible, and she was charming. After confirming that her makeup was correct in the mirror, she put on the cloak and took a deep breath.

Su Xi said: "Master, don't worry, Your Majesty will definitely like it."

Qi Changle straightened her hair, and curled the corners of her lips upon hearing this.

"I hope so."

Regarding the gift she gave, Qi Changle is not worried about whether Zhong Liyu likes it or not, what she cares about is... how much the other party will like it.

If it's just a slight liking, that's not what Qi Changle wants.

What she wanted...was hot, rich, with a warmth that could melt everything.

The reason why Qi Changle is nervous today is not entirely because of the dance, but also because of the unspeakable thoughts in her heart.

Last time, Qi Changle's request to serve her bed was blocked by Zhong Liyu, although she was not discouraged, she was somewhat concerned.

And this time, Qi Changle wanted to work harder for this.

If successful, everyone is happy.

If it fails, then at least she must be able to extract some information.

So Qi Changle did not allow himself to return without success this time.

She ran her fingers across her cheeks, her red lips curved slightly, with a bewitching arc.

"Let's go."

When she came to the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Su Xi stopped consciously, bowed her knees and sent Qi Changle in, and comforted Qi Changle with her eyes, signaling her to rest assured.

Qi Changle bent his lips and smiled, suppressing his gradually beating heart, and walked in.

She raised the bead curtain and walked in slowly, but she didn't see Zhong Liyu's figure. When she was wondering, someone suddenly pressed her from behind.

Qi Changle trembled slightly, turned her head subconsciously, and the pearl hairpin on her bun shook slightly, making a crisp sound.

The female monarch wearing a dragon robe behind her looked down at her with black eyes.

Qi Changle wanted to bow his knees to salute, but was hugged by the other party and couldn't move.She pursed her lips, raised her eyes and looked at her with a smile, with a graceful expression.

"My concubine has seen Your Majesty."

Zhong Liyu bent the corners of his lips, and slowly rubbed his fingertips against her neck, which made Qi Changle tremble unavoidably.

Zhong Liyu lowered his head and sniffed. "It smells good."

Qi Changle's neck was slowly stained pink, but he just bent his lips and did not answer.

Of course it is fragrant, after all, today she specially poured out the spices that she had chosen for a long time, which made people feel gentle and emotional, but not pungent and strong.

"Come here today to offer a gift?" With a smile in her eyes, she looked at Qi Changle, although her tone was inquiring, she seemed to have understood what Qi Changle was going to do.

Qi Changle nodded slowly, with a smile in his eyes.

"Exactly. Please accept it, Your Majesty."

Zhong Liyu chuckled, let go of the hands around her waist, and then moved up to untie the belt on her cloak.

"Changle, do you know what you look like at this moment..." She spoke meaningfully, with a smile on her face, "Like a gift for yourself?"

"I don't know whether you are going to perform or sacrifice yourself."

Qi Changle paused, the pinkness on his neck gradually deepened, and his earlobes were also stained crimson.

She bit her lips lightly, raised her eyes and looked tenderly at Zhong Liyu.

"If His Majesty wants to accept it, then the concubine...will offer it up. Whether it's a dance or a person."

Zhong Liyu paused for a moment, and looked at her with dark eyes. After a while, she avoided Qi Changle's tender gaze, just twitched the corners of her lips, let go of Qi Changle, stroked the other's hair, and said: "Performance!" Bar."

She bent her eyes and smiled gently.

Qi Changle was not happy because of the other party's gentle attitude.

After all, this is not very important to her anymore, after all, Zhongliyu's attitude towards her is already very good.If she had to compare, she hoped that Zhongli Yu would only agree to her request.

But obviously, the other party avoided it again.

Of course, Qi Changle was not overly disappointed or lost her composure, she just smiled softly, took off her cloak, and revealed her elaborate attire.

The weak and boneless fingertips protruded from the sleeves, and the white skin was looming under the delicate gauze, and the candlelight next to it shone on the skirt, adding a ray of light to shine.

Qi Changle bowed profusely, "The concubine, let's begin."

Zhong Liyu's gaze was slightly startled, and then he slowly moved away from Qi Changle.She felt the dryness in her throat, and she couldn't help coughing lightly, and looked away from the other party's slender waist.

Hearing Qi Changle's words, Zhong Liyu said: "...Okay, let's start."

There was no music, no accompanying dancers, and only Qi Changle was dancing in the empty hall with no atmosphere.

But she didn't have the slightest hesitation or shyness, her eyes were soft and bright, and when she looked at Zhong Liyu with burning affection, it almost burned the tip of her heart.

The sleeves and skirt brought out a light arc when she twirled, and what was hidden between the light gauze was a graceful figure and a graceful figure, Qi Changle's style of dancing, and the corners of the eyes and the brows showed deep affection.

She is a little bit, hooking Zhong Liyu.

The fine veil slowly fell from the top following her movements, and the sleeves receded, revealing her snow-white arms.

Qi Changle raised the corners of his eyes slightly, like a graceful white lotus blooming from the water.

After stopping the last movement, Qi Changle took a step forward and fell into Zhongli Yu's arms.

A large piece of veil flew behind her with her movements, like the wings of a butterfly.

Qi Changle's red lips curled up, and with a smile in the corner of his eyes, he rushed towards Zhongliyu.

Zhong Liyu paused, and subconsciously reached out to take her.

Then nephrite into the bosom.

Qi Changle was held in her arms, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, he looked up at Zhong Liyu.

Because she had just finished dancing, she was not breathing steadily at this moment, her forehead was slightly wet with sweat, and her breath was blue.

Zhong Liyu's arms tightly wrapped around her slender waist, as if he wanted to carve her into his blood and bones.

Qi Changle didn't care about the other party's roughness at the moment, and still bent his eyes gently, "Your Majesty, do you still like it?"

Zhongli Yu's eyes were dark, his throat moved, his voice was slightly hoarse, "I like it."

It is impossible for Qi Changle to say that she is unhappy in her heart, after all, she has put in so much effort and practice for it, isn't it just to bewitch Zhongliyu at this moment.

Now that she is half successful, she is naturally complacent in her heart.

Qi Changle smiled happily with his eyes bent.

She moved closer to Zhong Liyu, getting closer to him, and wanted to pass on her current temperature to her.

"Then Your Majesty, would you like to accept this gift from my concubine?"

Zhong Liyu looked at her with lowered eyes, his fingertips rested on her earlobe, and he stretched out his hand to squeeze it.

Qi Changle noticed her silence and her deliberate avoidance, and his heart sank.

"……His Majesty?"

Zhong Liyu came back to his senses and smiled at her, "Do you still remember the gift I said I would give you?"

Qi Changle thought about it for a while, "Is your majesty referring to the palace?"

Zhong Liyu nodded: "It's ready, let's pick one?"

A certain emotion slowly sank in Qi Changle's heart, she knew that Zhong Liyu was using this method to distract herself from the topic, and similarly, she was using this gift to... comfort herself.

Originally, she didn't have to care.After all, what Qi Changle is doing is pampering, as for Zhongliyu's true feelings for her, it has nothing to do with her.

However, that was before.

The current Qi Changle doesn't want to do that.She wanted more than that.

Qi Changle couldn't help biting the side of his lips, his eyes darkened.

She looked at Zhong Liyu, but failed to look into his eyes.

No hurry.

Qi Changle took a deep breath, and slowly let out a chuckle.

"it is good."

Zhong Liyu felt relieved in his heart, but at the same time, it was full of gloom.

She suppressed her emotions, let go of Qi Changle, and then took out the drawing of the palace.

"Take a look, do you still like the layout?"

To be honest, Qi Changle was not in the mood to look at it at this time, but she still took it and glanced at it with downcast eyes.

"Your Majesty's preparation is naturally good, and my concubine likes it very much."

Zhong Liyu raised the corner of his lower lip, "Do you know what I named this palace?"

Qi Changle cheered up, and asked with a smile: "The concubine really doesn't know."

Zhong Liyu stretched out his hand to let the other party sit in her arms, then touched her cheek, and smiled lightly: "Changle Palace."

Qi Changle was startled, and opened his eyes wide.

Zhong Liyu looked at her with a smile.

"I named this palace Changle Palace. Changle is for you. Similarly, this is also my...wish you."

"Changle, lifelong joy."

Qi Changle's pupils trembled, and she looked at Zhong Liyu dumbly. At this moment, all the worry and disappointment just now were swept away, leaving only surprise and indescribable emotion in her heart.

Obviously it's just a very simple name, but it's easy to use her name for this name.

But Qi Changle knew that was not the case.

It wasn't simply adopting her name.

She still remembers telling Zhong Liyu the meaning of her name when they first met.

And at this moment, she returned this meaning to herself again.

With her heart.

Qi Changle felt a soreness in his throat, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"……His Majesty."

Zhong Liyu put one hand on the table, with a bright smile on his face.

"Like it?"

Qi Changle couldn't help reaching out to hug her.

"……like."

I like it very much.
