Chapter

Qin Liuse, who was sitting on Emperor Yongjia, was stunned. Could it be that Emperor Yongjia had summoned more than just her to serve him?

But on second thought, it's not likely. Emperor Yongjia was a playboy and a romantic, but he was not the kind of person who liked to have many wives.

Emperor Yongjia had no expression on his face. He looked at Zhu Wanxi, "What's wrong with her?"

Zhu Wanxi still bowed her body, "I don't know either, but I saw that Lady Zhou was carrying a food box, so she must be here to bring snacks to the emperor."

He was an old fox. Sometimes he couldn't explain clearly, and sometimes he said he brought a food box to deliver food.

Although Qin Liuse was secretly complaining in his heart, he felt that there were many things he could learn from Zhu Wanxi. Although he seemed to have offended neither side, he actually had his own stance, otherwise he would not have gotten to this position.

Emperor Yongjia didn't say anything for a while, and it was unclear whether he was happy or angry. Qin Liuse thought, why not be a good person for once.

Then she said softly to Emperor Yongjia, "Your Majesty, Lady Zhou brought the food box here, and I think she wanted to give it to Your Majesty in person."

If Emperor Yongjia didn't directly let Concubine Zhou come in, it would be suspected that she was making decisions for the emperor, so Qin Liuse said that.

As expected, someone whispered in his ear, and Emperor Yongjia tacitly agreed to let Zhu Wanxi invite Zhou Cairen in.

Qin Liuse got off Emperor Yongjia noticeably and stepped aside to serve.

She thought to herself that her decision was indeed the right one. In Emperor Yongjia's heart, she was not yet in a position that would allow him to ignore other people for her.

If she had acted like any other favorite concubine and tried to monopolize Emperor Yongjia, who knows what kind of impression she would have left on Emperor Yongjia.

Emperor Yongjia stayed in the imperial study every day. Although he was not in the harem, even this imperial study was filled with an atmosphere of restlessness, and everyone wanted to climb in.

After receiving Zhu Wanxi's order, Lady Zhou walked slowly into the palace and bowed to Emperor Yongjia and Qin Liuse, "Your Majesty, may you be well. Concubine Qin, may you be well."

Emperor Yongjia said indifferently, "Get up!"

Zhou Cairen stood up straight and saw the majestic and imposing Emperor Yongjia sitting on the couch. She almost didn't know how to start talking.

She clenched the food box in her hand and finally mustered up the courage to tell him the purpose of her visit. "It's been cold these past few days, so I made some lily and mutton soup. I thought that Your Majesty is very busy and the Imperial Study is very cold without a floor heater, so I'd like to warm it up for Your Majesty."

The imperial study did not have a floor heater, but only charcoal fire which was equivalent to nothing. This was another particularity of Emperor Yongjia.

This was because Emperor Yongjia felt that if the study was too warm, it would make people drowsy and unaware of the sufferings of the world, so Emperor Yongjia never burned floor heating in his study.

It was common for concubines to bring food, and Emperor Yongjia was not surprised. He just said, "Leave it there. I will visit you when I have time."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Cairen blushed, opened the food box, and took out a blue soup bowl with a floral pattern.

Zhou Cairen carefully placed the soup bowl on the small table on the couch. She added some ingredients, but the soup was thick and white, with a mellow aroma, and even the smell of mutton seemed to be gone.

In winter, the sight of it made him hungry, and Qin Liuse swallowed.

"I have spent three hours simmering this soup. It is the most suitable for drinking at this time of year. I have specially brought some more here. Your Majesty and Concubine Qin should have a taste."

What a delicate person. Qin Liuse didn't expect Zhou Cairen to mention herself who was just a background board at the side. She looked at her and smiled slightly.

Zhou Cairen also nodded and smiled at Qin Liuse, then walked out without any sign of lingering.

He actually came here to serve soup and make his presence felt.

After Zhou Cairen left, Qin Liuse stared at the two bowls of soup on the table. This dog emperor is really blessed. Every day someone comes to show his courtesy. It's really enviable.

Emperor Yongjia straightened himself, looked at the bowl of mutton soup and said with a smile, "My beloved concubine, can you try it for me?"

Qin Liuse was stunned for a moment, but also a little happy that she was having a good time, as this meant that she was allowed to eat.

Qin Liuse had no choice but to walk forward with a look of surprise, picked up the bowl of mutton soup, and tried a spoonful, "Your Majesty, this Zhou Cairen's cooking skills are really good, if you don't try it..."

Qin Liuse had just said half of his words when Emperor Yongjia took advantage of the situation and pulled him back into his arms.

It was broad daylight, and in Emperor Yongjia's study, Qin Liuse didn't know whether any ministers would come today. Her face turned red again and again.

But Emperor Yongjia just held her in his arms, then picked up the bowl of soup, took a sip, and thought it was delicious.

Then he scooped another spoonful and put it to Qin Liuse's mouth. Qin Liuse opened his lips and swallowed it in a daze.

In this way, Emperor Yongjia didn't know what went wrong with his nerves, and he finished the whole bowl of mutton soup by taking a bite at a time.

Asking an emperor to feed her soup, Qin Liuse had the illusion that her face was very big, and the blush that had not yet gone away floated up again.

Emperor Yongjia put down his bowl and cup, slowly kissed Qin Liuse on the lips, and licked her plump and moist lips, as if he was still not satisfied.

"Your Majesty..." Qin Liuse clenched her hands into fists and placed them against his chest. She suddenly felt like she was the afternoon snack.

But at this moment, there was another noise outside the door. It was Zhu Wanxi's report.

Emperor Yongjia left Qin Liuse's lips, looking somewhat displeased. He frowned and called Zhu Wanxi in, "What's the matter?"

Zhu Wanxi still kept his head down, looking at the man walking in with his head bent, his heart beating fast. He didn't want to come in at this time and be disliked. This would mean he would be bullied from both sides.

"Your Majesty, Miss Wei is asking to see you outside the palace." Zhu Wanxi said.

Emperor Yongjia raised his eyebrows, "Miss Wei?" as if he couldn't remember who this person was.

Zhu Wanxi reminded, "It's Miss Wei from the Queen Mother's side. She's here to stay in the palace for a few days."

Qin Liuse's heart tightened when she heard this. Did the Queen Mother Dong act so quickly? Did she force Wei Lanxin to come over so quickly? The people in the harem were really impetuous.

Since she is the Empress Dowager Dong's person, she is no different from a concubine, so Emperor Yongjia will naturally meet her.

Zhu Wanxi went out to ask for help, so Qin Liuse pushed Emperor Yongjia and got off him again. Emperor Yongjia's face darkened and he straightened his robe, but he didn't make things difficult for her.

The door creaked open and Wei Lanxin walked in carrying a lunch box.

Qin Liuse thought that sending snacks was a good excuse. If all the concubines in the harem came to send snacks, Emperor Yongjia would not be able to finish them in the whole day.

Emperor Yongjia did not look towards the door, but glanced at Qin Liuse standing beside him. He saw that her cheeks were flushed and her fair face was as bright and dazzling as peach blossoms in March, making people want to love her no matter how hard they tried.

Because he was only focused on looking at Qin Liuse, when Wei Lanxin walked up to him, saluted, and raised her head, Emperor Yongjia was unexpectedly stunned for a moment.

Qin Liuse thought that this seemed to be the first time Emperor Yongjia saw Wei Lanxin.

Who wouldn’t be stunned when seeing this face which is almost exactly the same as the queen’s when she was young?

Qin Liuse's heart moved slightly, and she also wanted to know whether Queen Mother Dong's plan this time could succeed.

She had never seen such a person in her previous life. She didn’t know whether she had never noticed him or whether everything had become different because of her rebirth in this life.

But he was a man, especially an emperor, so Qin Liuse was not surprised that Emperor Yongjia took her into his pocket.

On the other side, Wei Lanxin waited for a while and didn't hear the voice of Emperor Yongjia, so she glanced at him quietly.

That look was filled with admiration, shyness and immaturity. Qin Liuse, who was watching from the side, wanted to say that the Queen Mother Dong was really good at choosing people.

But Emperor Yongjia was not the kind of person who would make a fool of himself. He was stunned for a moment and then said, "Get up."

Wei Lanxin stood up slowly, looked at Emperor Yongjia, and said with a sweet smile, "Your Majesty, do you still remember me? When I was twelve years old, I rode a horse with you. Speaking of which, I have to call you my cousin!"

Such an innocent and lovely tone, and also the cheerfulness that only people of Wei Lanxin's age can have.

Especially the word "cousin", Qin Liuse didn't know that these two words could be called so tenderly, purely, shyly, and coquettishly.

She is so outstanding that she is probably even better than the empress when she was young. I wonder if Emperor Yongjia would want to go back to his youth after seeing the empress's appearance when she was young again.
